2025 Capital Raises

 

March 2025 Registered Direct Offering

 

In March 2025, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants in connection with a registered direct offering. See Note 7 – Common Stock – 2025 Equity Capital Raises – March 2025 Registered Direct Offering for a description of the offering and the warrants issued in connection therewith.

 

May 2025 Private Placement

 

On May 15, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Lind Global Asset Management XII LLC (“Lind”), pursuant to which the Company issued Lind (i) a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount $7.5 million (the “Lind Note”), and (ii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of up to 13,020,834 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.672 per share, subject to standard adjustments as defined in the warrant agreement, and exercisable for 5 years (the “Lind Warrants” and, together with the issuance of the Lind Note, such offering, the “Lind Offering”). The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $5.8 million in the Lind Offering, excluding any proceeds that may be received upon exercise of the Lind Warrants. The Lind Note may be converted by Lind from time to time at a price of $0.72 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). The dollar amount of any conversions by Lind will be applied toward upcoming Lind Note payments in reverse chronological order. The Lind Note may be prepaid in whole upon written notice on any business day following August 13, 2025; but in the event of a prepayment notice, Lind may convert up to one-third of the principal amount due at the lesser of the Repayment Share Price or the Conversion Price. The “Repayment Share Price” is defined in the Lind Note as 90% of the average of the five lowest daily VWAPs (as defined in the Lind Note) during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note and exercise of the warrant were registered pursuant to a resale Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288508), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 14, 2025. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, for further details on the Lind Offering.

 

A portion of the proceeds from the Lind Offering was allocated to the Lind Warrants based on their relative fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions used in the model were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 81.27%; (iii) risk-free interest rate of 4.0%; (iv) simulated term of 5.0 years; (v) estimated fair value of the shares underlying such warrants of $0.45 per share; (vi) exercise price of $0.672; and (vii) various probability assumptions related to down round price adjustments. The fair value of the Lind Warrants was $3,941,059, resulting in the amount allocated to the warrants, based on their relative fair value of $1,998,869, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

 

August 2025 Registered Direct Offering

 

In August 2025, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants in connection with a registered direct offering. See Note 7 – Common Stock – 2025 Equity Capital Raises – August 2025 Registered Direct Offering for a description of the offering and the warrants issued in connection therewith.

Warrant Expiration

 

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no warrants expired unexercised.

 

b)  Options 

 

The Company currently has options outstanding under its 2015 Plan. The Company also has the 2024 Plan (as defined below), however, as of December 31, 2025 no options had been awarded under this Plan.

 

The 2015 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 18, 2015 and approved by stockholders on October 30, 2015. The 2015 Plan has subsequently been amended from time to time to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the plan, most recently increasing the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance to 9,700,000 shares following stockholder approval on June 28, 2023.

 

The 2015 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, stock bonus awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance awards. The primary purpose of the 2015 Plan is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of the Company’s business largely depends, and to provide additional incentives to such persons to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of the Company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of the Company that is tied to the Company’s performance, thereby giving them an interest in the success and increased value of the Company.  The 2015 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee comprised solely of members of the Board of Directors or by the Board of Directors as a whole.

 

On January 29, 2025, the Company amended the terms of certain outstanding options granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan, such that the expiration date for outstanding options to purchase 545,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, granted on February 11, 2019, was extended from six years from the date of grant to ten years from the date of grant, or an expiration date of February 11, 2029.  As a result of these amendments $103,573 was recorded as an additional options expense.

 

At the Annual Meeting on July 2, 2024, the stockholders approved and adopted the Company’s 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan “) which authorizes up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan had previously been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 24, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, no  options had been awarded under such Plan, however, RSUs for 4,547,678 shares had been awarded under the 2024 Plan.  See Note 8- Stock Compensation – Restricted Stock Units.

(i)

These RSUs vest upon the share price closing above $5.00 per share for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days within a period of three and a half years from the date of grant, with further time-based vesting in a single installment six months after the timely achievement of the target, if at all, and subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of the RSUs that include a market vesting condition will be measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model and incorporating the probability of vesting occurring. The estimated fair value of these awards will be recognized over the derived service period (as determined by the valuation model), with such recognition occurring regardless of whether the market condition is met.

About Stock Compensation Disclosures

Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.

Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
