NOTE 14. STOCK WARRANTS, OPTIONS AND GRANTS

 

Stock options. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we issued 1,390,000 and 427,500 options to purchase our common stock, respectively, to members of our Board, independent contractors, executive officers and employees.  

 

On May 1, 2017, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Hagerty Employment Agreement”) with Harry C. Hagerty, pursuant to which Mr. Hagerty serves as our Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer for a term that extends through April 30, 2020.  Pursuant to the Hagerty Employment Agreement, Mr. Hagerty receives a base salary of $120,000 per annum and is eligible for bonuses if and as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board.  In addition, Mr. Hagerty has been granted options to purchase 400,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $0.60, subject to vesting and other conditions.  

 

On July 26, 2017, in connection with the Cravens Employment Agreement, Mr. Cravens was granted options to purchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock, which vest as follows: (i) as to the first 150,000 shares of stock, on July 26, 2017, (ii) as to the next 150,000 shares of stock, on August 1, 2018, and (iii) as to the next 150,000 shares of stock, on August 1, 2019, all pursuant to the terms of a stock option grant agreement by and between us and Mr. Cravens.  Provided that Mr. Cravens is a full-time employee on August 1, 2020, we agreed to grant to Mr. Cravens an option to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of our common stock with a strike price equal to the price per share of our common stock as reported on OTC Markets on August 1, 2020 (or the nearest trading date thereafter), which option will vest on August 1, 2020 (or the nearest trading date thereafter).

 

The fair value of all stock options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was determined to be $652,895 and $96,137, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

As of September 30, 2017, our unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the stock options issued was $333,888, which will be amortized over a weighted-average of 1.96 years.

 

Warrants.  On August 29, 2016, in connection with the Term Loan Agreement, we issued the lenders the Warrants to purchase 1,965,780 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and/or the exercise price of such shares, is subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments in the event of stock splits, reorganizations, stock dividends, and similar events. As of the date of the Warrant Agreement, the shares of common stock issuable upon a full exercise of the Warrants represented 5.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The lenders were also granted the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 5.0% of the total number of new securities that we may, from time to time, sell and issue.

 

The Warrants expire on August 29, 2022, and may not be exercised prior to the earliest of (a) the fifth anniversary of the Term Loan Agreement, (b) the date on which the obligations described in the Term Loan Agreement are satisfied in full, or (c) the date on which the lenders declare all or any portion of the outstanding amount of the Term Loan to be due and payable under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement (collectively, the "Trigger Date"). Exercise of the Warrants requires a sixty (60) day prior written notice, during which time we may exercise our Call Right described below.

 

The Warrant Agreement includes a call right (the "Call Right") whereby we can purchase the Warrants for a fixed sum of $1,333,333 upon providing the Warrant holders with a thirty (30) day prior written notice. Furthermore, the Warrant Agreement also includes a put right (the "Put Right") whereby the lenders may require us to purchase from the lenders all or any portion of the Warrants at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (a) the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock as of the date of exercise of the Put Right, or (b) $1,333,333. The Put Right may not be exercised prior to the Trigger Date (as defined above), and the Put Right expires on August 29, 2022.  The foregoing summary of the Term Loan Agreement and the Warrant Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the respective agreements, which are found as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 29, 2016.
