STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EQUITY-LINKED INSTRUMENTS

 

General

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended Certificate, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-12 (the “2026 Reverse Split”) (the “2026 Amendment”). The 2026 Amendment became effective on January 23, 2026. As a result of the 2026 Reverse Split, every 12 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The 2026 Reverse Split was approved by the Company’s Board on January 2, 2026, and approved by the stockholders of the Company on June 9, 2025.

 

All references to common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2026 Reverse Split (and all other reverse splits described herein) for all periods presented.

 

Common Stock

 

Hudson Equity Line of Credit

 

On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Hudson Global Ventures, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Hudson”). Pursuant to the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Hudson, and Hudson is obligated to purchase, up to $2.9 million of newly issued shares (the “Hudson Total Commitment”) of the Company’s common stock, from time to time during the term of the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions (the “Hudson Offering” or “Hudson ELOC”). As consideration for Hudson’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Hudson 625 shares of common stock, valued at $159,000, following the execution of the Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Hudson Commitment Shares”).

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold 1,494 shares of common stock, respectively, under the Hudson ELOC at an average per share price of $163.20, raising net proceeds totaling $231,000. The Hudson Equity Purchase Agreement was terminated effective May 8, 2025. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the Hudson Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including sales and marketing activities, product development and capital expenditures.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Series C Preferred Stock. On October 22, 2025, the Company filed the COD of the Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C COD”), designating 4,700 shares of Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred”), in connection with the YP Exchange Agreement (as defined above). At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 1,153 shares of Series C Preferred issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the Series C COD, the Series C Preferred Stock, among other terms: (i) ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, senior to all classes of common stock and each other class or series of equity security of the Company which is not expressly senior or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock ; (ii) the Series C Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding until the Series C Preferred Stock is converted into common stock either optionally by the holder or automatically pursuant to its terms described below, and will automatically be converted into common stock on the eighteen-month anniversary of effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock ; (iii) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock when converted, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the Company’s common stock, will have a conversion price of $12.00, with a stated value of $1,000; and (iv) subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series C COD, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote together with the holders of the common stock as a single class, on an as-converted basis.

 

The Series C COD includes a beneficial ownership limitation such that a holder thereof does not have the right to convert any portion of the Series C Preferred if such holder (together with its affiliates or any other persons acting together as a group with such holder) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series C Preferred, or, upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

 

Series AAA Junior -3 and Series AAA Junior 4 Warrants

 

The Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 subscription agreements entered into in September 2024, included the sale of an aggregate of 1,096 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of newly designated Series AAA-3 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock or Series AAA-4 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock, as reflected in the table above, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 3 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,096,000.

 

The September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants do not meet the requirements for equity classification, and therefore, the fair value of the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). The change in fair value for the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $0 and $(270,000), respectively.

 

Placement Agent Warrants

 

The Placement Agent Warrants issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series AA Preferred Stock and Series AAA Preferred Stock are not eligible for the scope exception under ASC 815, and therefore, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). The change in fair value for the Placement Agent Warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $(4,000) and $(447,000), respectively.
