Stockholders' Equity |
8. Stockholders’ Equity Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the board of directors, subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, a total 15,106,412 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
Share Issuances On October 21, 2024, the Company announced the closing of a private placement of approximately $110 million from the issuance and sale of shares of the Company's common stock and accompanying warrants with potential aggregate financing of up to approximately $275 million upon the full cash exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses (“October 2024 Offering”). The October 2024 Offering consisted of (i) 58,310,000 shares of common stock sold at $1.37 per share, or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 21,985,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.001, (ii) Series A-1 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 40,139,474 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.37, or in lieu thereof, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase the same number of shares of common stock (“Series A-1 Warrants”), and (iii) Series B-1 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 73,813,529 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.37, or in lieu thereof, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase the same number of shares of common stock (“Series B-1 Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants underlying the Series A-1 Warrants and Series B-1 Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire. The Series A-1 Warrants and the Series B-1 Warrants will become exercisable at the earlier of (a) the 75th calendar day following the initial filing of the resale registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A-1 Warrants and Series B-1 Warrants, if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review such resale registration statement and (b) the 5th business day after the date the Company is notified by the SEC that such resale registration statement will not be subject to further review. Each Series A-1 Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock and will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 30th day following the later of (a) the Company’s public announcement of the Phase 2b 12 week safety readout for IKT-001 for PAH and (b) the Company both obtaining stockholder approval for and filing an amendment to its charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to a number of shares of common stock sufficient to allow for the full exercise of the warrants (“Charter Amendment”). Each Series B-1 Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock, will become exercisable by an investor once all of such investor’s Series A-1 Warrants have been exercised and will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 30th day following the later of (a) the Company’s public announcement of its Phase 2b efficacy readout for IKT-001 with respect to PAH and (b) the Company both obtaining stockholder approval for and filing the Charter Amendment. The Series A-1 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.37 per share and the Series B-1 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.49 per share. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement to finance the initiation of a Phase 2b trial in PAH and for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 19,815,131 pre-funded warrants outstanding. On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single institutional investor in connection with a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement with the same institutional investor (collectively the "May 2024 Offering”). The May 2024 Offering consisted of (i) 714,527 shares of the Company's common stock sold at $1.68 per share, (ii) Pre-Funded Common Warrants to purchase up to 957,925 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0001 which are immediately exercisable after the issuance until exercised in full, (iii) Series A Common Warrants to purchase 1,672,452 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.68 per share which expire on the one-year anniversary from the date of stockholder approval, and (iv) Series B Common Warrants to purchase 1,672,452 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.68 per share which expire on the five-year anniversary from the date of stockholder approval. All of the warrants in the May 2024 Offering were issued to a single investor. During the third quarter 2024, the investor exercised 247,925 Pre-Funded Common Warrants and exercised the remaining 710,000 Pre-Funded Common Warrants as of the date of this report. The Company received net proceeds from the May 2024 Offering of approximately $2.2 million. On May 20, 2024, the Company also entered into a warrant inducement agreement with the same investor to exercise certain outstanding warrants that the Company issued in January 2023 (“January 2023 Existing Warrants”). Pursuant to the warrant inducement agreement, the investor agreed to exercise outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 708,500 shares of the Company's common stock at an amended exercise price of $1.68 per share. These shares are held in abeyance and not considered outstanding. The shares held in abeyance will be held in abeyance until notice from the investor that the balance, or portion thereof, may be issued in compliance with a beneficial ownership limitation provision in the warrants. The Company also agreed to reduce the exercise price of the remaining unexercised portion of such warrants to purchase 1,229,484 shares of common stock to $1.68 per share and to issue the investor Series C Common Warrants to purchase 708,500 shares of the Company's common stock and Series D Common Warrants to purchase 708,500 shares of the Company's common stock (“January 2023 New Warrants”). Each will have an exercise price of $1.68 per share and will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval. The Series C Common Warrants will expire on the one-year anniversary from the date of stockholder approval and the Series D Common Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary from the date of stockholder approval. The shares held in abeyance were all issued to the investor in 2024. The repricing of the January 2023 Existing Warrants and issuance of the Series C Common Warrants and the Series D Common Warrants is considered a modification of the January 2023 Existing Warrants under the guidance of ASU 2021-04. The modification is consistent with the "Equity Issuance" classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holder to cash exercise their warrants, resulting in the imminent exercise of the January 2023 Existing Warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds for the Company of approximately $1.0 million. The total fair value of the consideration of the modification includes the incremental fair value of the January 2023 Existing Warrants (determined by comparing the fair values immediately prior to and immediately after the modification) and the initial fair value of the January 2023 New Warrants. The fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes model and the Company determined that the total fair value of the consideration related to the modification of the January 2023 Existing Warrants, including the initial fair value of the January 2023 New Warrants was $1.8 million. On January 25, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in connection with a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement with an institutional investor. The Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement in connection with a concurrent private placement with the same institutional investor (collectively the "January 2023 Offering”). The January 2023 Offering consisted of (i) 466,799 shares of Common Stock sold at $5.16 per share, (ii) Common Warrants to purchase up to 1,937,985 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.16, and (iii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,471,187 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.06, all issued to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd (“Armistice”). The warrants will expire on January 27, 2028. As part of the January 2023 Offering, the Company further issued warrants to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 67,830 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $6.45 and an expiration date of January 25, 2028. As of December 31, 2023 the institutional investor has exercised all 1,471,187 Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company received net proceeds from the January 2023 Offering of approximately $8.5 million. Effective January 25, 2023, the Company terminated the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. by providing a notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement (see Note 10). In September 2023 and December 2023, the Company issued 12,000 shares respectively of its stock in exchange for digital media consulting services. The fair value of the stock was $17,280 and $14,280 respectively based upon the closing price of the shares on the date of the transaction. Issuance costs were not material. No additional rights or options were granted to this accredited investor in connection with this issuance.
