For stock issued as compensation for service agreements, the stock market price at the time of issuance was used to determine the appropriate fair value of the stock issued.

 

Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”)

 

The Company has 480 shares of Series A Stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2022, which currently are convertible at $6.40 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Price”), which was adjusted to match the conversion price of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Stock bears a 6% dividend per annum, calculable and payable per quarter in cash or additional shares of common stock as determined in the Certificate of Designation. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights until converted to common stock and has a liquidation preference equal to the aggregate purchase price of $480,000 plus accrued dividends. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company accrued preferred stock dividends of $234,000 and $213,580, respectively.

 

The Series A Stock has price protection provisions in the case that the Company issues any shares of stock not pursuant to an “Exempt Issuance” at a price below the Conversion Price. Exempt Issuances include: (i) shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents issued pursuant to the original merger of the company or any funding contemplated by that transaction; (ii) any common stock or convertible securities outstanding as of the date of closing; (iii) common stock or common stock equivalents issued in connection with strategic acquisitions; (iv) shares of common stock or equivalents issued to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to a plan, subject to limitations in amount and price; and (v) other similar transactions. The Certificate of Designation contains restrictive covenants not to incur certain debt, repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or enter into certain transactions with affiliates without consent of holders of 67% of the Series A Stock.

 

Management has determined that the Series A Stock is more akin to a debt security than equity primarily because it contains a mandatory 2-year redemption at the option of the holder, which only occurs if the Series A Stock is not converted to common stock. Therefore, management has presented the Series A Stock outside of permanent equity as mezzanine equity, which does not factor into the totals of either liabilities or equity.

 

The Series A Stock carries a 6% per annum dividend calculated on the stated value of the stock and is cumulative and payable quarterly beginning July 1, 2016. These dividends are accrued at each reporting period. They add to the redemption value of the stock; however, as the Company shows an accumulated deficit, the charge has been recognized in additional paid-in capital.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Series A Stock was in technical default for failure of the Company to redeem. On March 9, 2022, the Company entered into a conversion notice and reservation of rights agreement with the two Series A Stockholders whereby such holders waived all default interest, penalties and fees from the Company’s failure to redeem the Series A Stock, and agreed to convert such preferred shares into common stock contingent upon the completion of the Company’s underwritten equity offering and uplisting to Nasdaq; provided however, if such offering is completed at a lower price than $6.40 per share, the conversion price for the Series A Stock would be reduced to that lower price, and further provided, if warrants are issued in the offering, the Series A Stockholder would receive warrants on similar terms. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the offering and uplisting to Nasdaq due to general market conditions, and therefore, the Series A Stock is still in default; however, the conversion agreement is valid until March 9, 2023, and management plans to pursue the Nasdaq uplisting in the future.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”)

 

In December 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 2,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, pursuant to a Certificate of Designation. The Series B Preferred Stock provides the holders a 10% annual paid-in-kind dividend, a liquidation preference equal to the purchase price of the shares ($1,000 per share) followed by the right to participate with the common stockholders in the instance of a liquidation or other exit event, and provides the holders the right to vote along with the common holders based on the common conversion amount of their holdings. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at a price of $6.40 per share, subject to anti-dilution protections in the case of certain issuances of securities below that conversion price. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not redeemable.

 

 

In January 2021, the Company closed a private offering of its Series B Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share, raising a total of $2,500,000, inclusive of $156,000 in prior debt conversion and $23,000 of notes payable with directors converted to shares of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, 1,509 and 2,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, respectively. Between July 27 and August 24, 2021, 15 holders of an aggregate of 991 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted their preferred shares into 163,134 shares of common stock, which included $53,061 of accrued dividends. As of September 20, 2022, the Company has recorded $266,619 of accrued dividends which are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Series E-1 Preferred Stock

 

On December 3, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 8,500 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series E-1 Stock”) pursuant to a Certificate of Designation; however, all shares of Series E-1 Stock issued in 2020 and 2021 were retired in 2021 and none currently are outstanding, as discussed below. The shares of Series E-1 Stock were incentive-based, vesting and forfeitable securities that provided the holders the right in the aggregate to receive an “earnout” equal to 20% of the total consideration received by the Company in the instance of a sale or sub-license of its core licensed radiopharmaceutical Technology, or sale or merger of the Company, which is paid on a priority, senior basis. In addition, the holders of the Series E-1 Stock were able to convert their vested preferred stock at anytime or after an event resulting in an earnout payment, such as an acquisition of the Company, into an aggregate of 212,500 common shares. The holders of the Series E-1 Stock had the right to vote along with the common stockholders based on the common conversion amount of their holdings, and had the right to nominate two members of the Board of Directors.

 

On December 30, 2020, 7,650 shares of Series E-1 Stock were issued to five individuals, including the Company’s Executive Chairman, CEO and General Counsel which vest starting in July 2021 through January 2023 and are forfeitable by the holders prior to vesting. In February 2021, the remaining 850 shares of Series E-1 Stock were issued to one newly-appointed director, vesting half in February 2022 and the balance in February 2023.

 

The Company computed the total grant date fair value of the Series E-1 Stock to be approximately $6,528,000 using an option pricing model and the following assumptions: (1) with respect to the shares granted in 2020: expected term of four years, dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 96.12%, and a risk-free rate of .27%; and (2) with respect to the shares granted in 2021: expected term of four years, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 96.12%, and a risk-free rate of 0.27%. The value of these shares will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period through February 2023.

 

On December 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Exchange Agreement”) with all E-1 Stockholders pursuant to which all shares of Series E-1 Stock were exchanged into an aggregate of 720,986 shares of common stock of the Company. The fair value of the Series E-1 Stock was determined to be approximately $8.65 million at the time of exchange, and approved for fairness by the independent chairman of the Compensation Committee. The common stock issued in the exchange was based on a value of $12.00 per share using a 30-day weighted average closing price calculation, and were issued proportionately to each holder based on their individual holdings of Series E-1 Stock. All shares of common stock issued to the shareholders are subject to the same vesting schedules as were originally provided in each shareholder’s Series E-1 Stock issuance agreement, meaning that such shares of common stock are forfeitable if certain conditions of employment are not met by certain holders. As of September 30, 2022, approximately 681,628 common shares are fully vested and approximately 39,358 common shares are unvested. No shares of Series E-1 Stock remained outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

 

During the nine months ending September 30, 2022, the Company recognized stock-based compensation to employees and directors totaling $646,226 related to the vesting of the Series E-1 Stock converted to shares of common stock, which is included in payroll and related expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2022, $254,516 of unrecognized compensation remains which will be recognized over a vesting period through 2023 and has been included in deferred compensation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
