Note 13 – Stockholders’ Deficit

 

Authorized Capital

 

The Company has 10,000,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 par value and 5,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock at a par value of $0.01.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has 5,000,000 shares, par value $0.01, of preferred stock authorized. As June 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding shares of preferred stock consisting of shares of its Series I-1 Preferred Stock and shares of Series I-2 Preferred Stock (both of which are more fully discussed in Note 12), 215 shares of its Series G Preferred Stock, 10 shares of its Series H Preferred Stock, 1,750,000 shares of its Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and 250,000 shares of its Series J Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The 215 shares of the Series G Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion.

 

The Series H Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of 85% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion.

 

In September 2017, the Company issued 1,750,000 shares of its Series F Preferred Stock valued at $174,097 in connection with the acquisition of Genomas Inc. Genomas Inc. is included in the Company’s discontinued operations, which are discussed in Note 17. Each share of the Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the related certificate of designation) at any time after the first anniversary of the issuance date at the option of the holder at a conversion price equal to the greater of $14,625 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion. The maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock is 120. Any shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date will be mandatorily converted into common stock at the applicable conversion price on such date. At any time, from time to time after the first anniversary of the issuance date, the Company has the right to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Series F Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to $1.95 plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series F Preferred Stock has voting rights. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock has one vote, and the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of the Company’s common stock as a single class.

 

On July 20, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to authorize the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of its Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series J Preferred Stock”). On July 23, 2018, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alcimede, of which Seamus Lagan, our Chief Executive Officer, is the sole manager. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued to Alcimede 250,000 shares of the Series J Preferred Stock in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding principal and interest owed by the Company to Alcimede under the Note, dated February 5, 2015, and the cancellation of certain amounts owed by the Company to Alcimede under a consulting agreement between the parties. The total amount of consideration paid by Alcimede to the Company equaled $250,000. Each share of the Series J Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1.00. The conversion price is equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the 10 trading days immediately prior to the conversion date. Each holder of the Series J Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock. From and after October 1, 2018, each share of the Series J Preferred Stock is entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which it is then convertible. The full terms of the Series J Preferred Stock are listed in the Certificate of Designations filed as Exhibit 3.16 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 2018. The Series J Preferred Stock is entitled to 8% per annum cumulative dividends at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. No dividends have been declared by the board as of June 30, 2019.

 

On October 4, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance and sale of certain shares of Series K Preferred Stock to Alcimede LLC pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement, as more fully described in Note 19.

 

Common Stock

 

The Company has authorized 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

 

The Company had 6,008,936,775 and 128,567,273 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company:

 

Issued 119,615,384 shares of common stock upon exercise of 755,000,000 warrants, on a cashless basis; and
   
Issued 5,760,754,118 shares of common stock upon the conversion of 769.2276 shares of its Series I-2 Preferred Stock;

 

Restricted Stock

 

On August 14, 2017, the Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board and in accordance with the provisions of the 2007 Equity Plan, approved grants to employees and directors of the Company of an aggregate of 364 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. The grants fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the grantee’s continued status as an employee or director on the vesting date. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 122 shares of the restricted stock were forfeited by their terms and returned to treasury.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 142,667 shares of restricted stock to employees and directors, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The grants fully vested immediately. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized stock-based compensation in the amount of $477,933 for the grant of such restricted stock based on a valuation of $3.35 per share. The value of the common stock issued was based on the fair value of the stock at the time of issuance.

 

Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents

 

The Company has outstanding options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures. Exercise of the options and warrants, and conversions of the convertible preferred stock and debentures could result in substantial dilution of our common stock and a decline in its market price. In addition, the terms of certain of the warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures issued by us provide for reductions in the per share exercise prices of the warrants and the per share conversion prices of the debentures and preferred stock (if applicable and subject to a floor in certain cases), in the event that we issue common stock or common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the agreements) at an effective exercise/conversion price that is less than the then exercise/conversion prices of the outstanding warrants, preferred stock or debentures, as the case may be. These provisions, as well as the issuances of debentures and preferred stock with conversion prices that vary based upon the price of our common stock on the date of conversion, have resulted in significant dilution of our common stock and have given rise to reverse splits of our common stock.

 

On October 4, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance and sale of certain shares of Series K Preferred Stock to Alcimede LLC pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement. The Series K Preferred Stock is more fully described in Note 19. The Board considered all options to secure additional financing required to continue operations and determined this authorization to be necessary to secure needed financing in the required time frame. As a result of this authorization, as of the date of filing this report, the Company believes that it has the ability to have sufficient authorized shares of its common stock to cover all potentially dilutive common shares. These potentially dilutive shares are presented in Note 19.

 

The Company maintained and sponsored the Tegal Corporation 2007 Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Equity Plan”). Tegal Corporation is the prior name of the Company. The 2007 Equity Plan, as amended, provided for the issuance of stock options and other equity awards to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants. The 2007 Equity Plan terminated pursuant to its terms in September 2017. The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

 

Stock Options

 

    Number of options     Weighted-average exercise price     Weighted-average contractual term  
Outstanding at December 31, 2018     77     $ 1,036,375       7.33  
Granted     -                  
Expired     -                  
Forfeited     -                  
Outstanding at June 30, 2019     77     $ 1,036,375       6.75  
Exercisable at June 30, 2019     68     $ 1,152,616          

 

The Company recognized stock option expense of approximately $17,300 and $48,393 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 6.75 years for options outstanding and exercisable. The intrinsic value of options exercisable at June 30, 2019 was $0. As of June 30, 2019, the remaining compensation expense of approximately $17,300 will be amortized over the remaining vesting period, which is approximately six months.

 

Warrants

 

The Company, as part of various debt and equity financing transactions, has issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants increased by 582 billion as a result of the anti-dilution provisions of outstanding warrants that were issued in connection with the issuances of debentures as more fully discussed in Note 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The number of shares issued and issuable as well as the exercise prices of the warrants reflected in the table below have been adjusted to reflect the full ratchet and other dilutive and down round provisions pursuant to the warrant agreements. As a result of the current exercise prices for the majority of the outstanding warrants (subject to a floor in some cases), as well as the full ratchet provisions of the majority of the outstanding warrants (again, subject to a floor in some cases), subsequent decreases in the price of the Company’s common stock and subsequent issuances of the Company’s common stock or common stock equivalents at prices below the current exercise prices of the warrants will result in increases in the number of shares issuable pursuant to the warrants and decreases in the exercise prices.

 

The following summarizes the information related to warrants issued and the activity during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

 

    Number of

    Weighted

Balance at December 31, 2018     53,130,510,439     $ 0.00172

Shares issued pursuant to Warrants exercised during the period     (755,000,000 )   $ 0.00034  
Balance at June 30, 2019     634,585,355,377     $ 0.00014  

 

On March 27, 2019, the expiration dates of certain warrants issued in March 2017 and September 2017 with convertible debentures, referred to as the March 2017 Series B Warrants and the September 2017 Series B Warrants, were extended from June 2019 to September 2019. On May 12, 2019, the expiration date of these warrants was further extended to March 31, 2022. The Company used the Black Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the warrants as of the modification date. Using the pre-modification terms and related assumptions, and the post-modification terms and related assumptions, the Company determined that the change in fair value of the warrants as a result of the March 27th modification was $4.1 million and the May 12th modification was $5.4 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded the modification value of $5.4 and $9.5 million as interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 11 for the assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation model.

 

See Note 19 for a discussion of the dilutive effect of the outstanding warrants as of December 5, 2019.
