Convertible Debt and Other Debt |
We entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreement”) with various individuals (each, a “Purchaser”) between July 23, 2015 and March 31, 2016, pursuant to which the Company sold Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares issuable pursuant to the subscription amount (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6,329,549 (the “Purchase Price”).
The Company issued a principal aggregate amount of $6,962,504 in Debentures which includes a 10% original issue discount on the Purchase Price. The Debenture does not accrue any additional interest during the first year it is outstanding but accrues interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum for the second year it is outstanding. The Debenture has a maturity date of two years from issuance. The Debenture is convertible any time after its issuance date. The Purchaser has the right to convert the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $8.40 per share, subject to applicable adjustments. In the second year that the Debenture is outstanding, any interest accrued shall be payable quarterly in either cash or common stock, at the Company’s discretion.
At any time after the Issuance Date, the Company has the option, subject to certain conditions, to redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 120% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, (ii) accrued but unpaid interest and (iii) any liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Debenture.
Warrants
The Company issued warrants exercisable into a total of 376,757 shares of our common stock. The Warrants issued in this transaction are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $12.00 per share, subject to applicable adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution in the event that we issue any securities at a price lower than the exercise price then in effect. The Warrants have an expiration period of five years from the original issue date. The Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations and also include anti-dilution price protection for subsequent equity sales below the exercise price.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrants, at any time commencing six months from the Final Closing, the Company has the right to call the Warrants for cancellation if the volume weighted average price of its Common Stock on the OTCQB (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded) equals or exceeds three times the per share exercise price of the Warrants for 15 out of 20 consecutive trading days.
Security Agreement
In connection with the Subscription Agreement and Debenture, the Company entered into Security Agreements with the Purchasers whereby the Company agreed to grant to Purchasers an unconditional and continuing, first priority security interest in all of the assets and property of the Company to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of Company’s obligations under the Debentures, Warrants and the other Transaction Documents.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Debentures met the definition of a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and therefore bifurcated the conversion feature on each debt agreement and accounted for it as a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion feature was accounted for as a note discount and are amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. The fair value of the conversion feature was reflected in the conversion option liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.
The proceeds from these convertible debts were allocated between the host debt instrument and the convertible option based on the residual method. The estimated fair value of the convertible option was determined using a binomial formula, resulting in allocations to the convertible option and accounted for as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-40, the gross proceeds are offset by debt discounts, which are amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the debt.
ASC 470-20 states that the proceeds from the issuance of debt with detachable stock warrants should be allocated between the debt and warrants on the basis of their relative fair market values. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the two year term of these loans. We amortized $6,577,660 of the debt discount to interest expense through the second quarter of 2017. The warrants issued in connection with the convertible debentures are classified as warrant derivative liabilities because the warrants are entitled to certain rights in subsequent financings and the warrants contain “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). Since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the warrants, the warrants cannot be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the binomial model, resulting in an allocation of $2,847,624 to the total warrants out of the gross proceeds of $6,329,549. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the risk-free interest rate. We will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first.
The specific terms of the convertible debts and outstanding balances as of June 30, 2017 are listed in the table below.
1 The original issue discount is reflected in the first year.
2 The annual interest starts accruing in the second year.
The closings above included a total of approximately $291,000 convertible debentures purchased by related parties who were members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management and their family members.
At any time after six months from the Inception Date, the Company has the right to prepay the above Debentures in cash for 120% of the principal amount outstanding and any accrued interest.
In January 2017, we executed an amendment to the July 6, 2016 convertible note that was due on January 6, 2017. We received an extension of up to three months on the note’s due date. In exchange for the extension, we agreed to issue 1,667 shares of restricted common stock and pay the investor $10,000 for each 30-day extension. The shares issued for the extension were valued at $10,000 and recorded as interest expense. We made a payment of $34,000 in January 2017 for the first one-month extension and interest on the note from the initial close date through February 6, 2017. The Investor had the right, at any time, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid principal sum and accrued interest into shares of common stock at the conversion price of $13.50. On February 28, 2017, the note was paid in full.
On April 3, 2017, we signed a six-month agreement with an investor relations firm. The agreement includes a cash payment of $10,000 plus a convertible 8-month note for $50,000 with the following significant terms: (i) convertible at $12.00/share, (ii) bears 10% annual interest, (iii) a 20% pre-payment penalty if the Company wants to pre-pay the Note, and (iv) a default rate of 18%. We terminated the agreement on June 7, 2017 and the investor relations firm agreed to forgive the loan resulting in a gain of $50,000.
Revolving Note Payable
On October 28, 2016, an accredited investor (the “Investor”) purchased from us a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Revolving Note”) due and payable on the earlier of October 28, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) or on the seventh business day after the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined in the Revolving Note). The Investor is obligated to provide us with advances of $250,000 under the Revolving Note, but the Investor shall not be required to advance more than $250,000 in any individual fifteen (15) day period and no more than $500,000 in the thirty (30) day period immediately following the date of the initial advance. We received $3,000,000 pursuant to the Revolving Note as amended and we issued to the Investor warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $12.00 per share. The terms of the Warrants are identical except for the exercise date, issue date, and termination date which are based on the advance date.
The Revolving Note was amended on May 2, 2017 to increase the aggregate principal amount to $3,000,000, to issue 16,667 shares of our Common Stock to the Investor, to decrease the exercise price per share of the warrants to the lower of (i) $12.00 or (ii) the per share purchase price of the shares of our Common Stock sold in the Qualified Offering, and to change the references in the Revolving Note from “the six (6) month anniversary of October 28, 2016” to “July 25, 2017.” The fair value of the 16,667 shares issued was accounted for as a note discount and are amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. We evaluated the accounting impact of the Revolving Note amendment and deemed that the amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In the event that a Qualified Offering occurs on or prior to July 25, 2017, within seven (7) Business Days of the closing of the Qualified Offering, the Company shall pay a cash fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total outstanding amount owed by the Company to the Holder as of the closing date of the Qualified Offering or, at the option of the Company, issue to the Holder a number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (x) five percent (5%) of the total outstanding amount owed by the Company to the Holder as of the closing date of the Qualified Offering divided by (y) the purchase price provided by the documents governing the Qualified Offering. A Qualified Offering means the completion of a public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least Seven Million United States Dollars (US$7,000,000) in consideration of the purchase of its securities and resulting in, pursuant to the effectiveness of the registration statement for such offering, the Company’s common stock being traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange.
In the event that a Qualified Offering occurs on or prior to July 25, 2017, but prior to the Maturity Date, within seven(7) Business Days of the closing of the Qualified Offering, the Company shall pay a cash fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total outstanding amount owed by the Company to the Holder as of the closing date of the Qualified Offering or, at the option of the Company, issue to the Holder a number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock equal to (x) five percent (5%) of the total outstanding amount owed by the Company to the Holder as of the closing date of the Qualified Offering divided by (y) the purchase price provided by the documents governing the Qualified Offering.
Interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Note shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date, unless otherwise paid prior to the Maturity Date. Interest shall be assessed as follows: (i) a one-time interest of 10% on all principal amounts advanced prior to April 28, 2017; (ii) the foregoing and 4% on any amount remaining outstanding if the principal amount is repaid between April 28, 2017 and July 28, 2017; or (iii) both of the foregoing and 4% on any amount remaining outstanding if the principal amount is repaid between July 28, 2017 and October 28, 2017.
Broker fees amounting to $256,500, the one-time interest of $300,000 and the fair value of the 250,000 warrants issued to the Investor amounting to $1,034,729 were recorded as debt discounts and amortized over the term of the revolving note. The unamortized debt discounts as of June 30, 2017 related to the Revolving Note amounted to $909,017.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in convertible debt and revolving note payable, net of unamortized discount, during 2017:
