Series A Preferred Stock

Effective April 8, 2020, the Company exchanged an aggregate of approximately $6,950,000 of all its then-outstanding convertible notes, representing principal and accrued interest through April 7, 2020, for 1,391 shares Series A Preferred Stock (the “Exchange”). As the Exchange was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock were recorded at fair value of $11,591,623 (before reduction of $29,150 related to issue costs) based on a per share fair value of $8,333. The per share fair value was determined using the number of common stock shares in a conversion (33,333 = $5,000 original issue price divided by $0.15 conversion price) multiplied by the $0.25 market price of a share of common stock. See the “Warrants” section below and Note 13, “Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Liabilities,” for additional information.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a $5,000 issue price. Dividends accrue on the issue price at a rate of 10.0% per annum and are payable to holders of Series A Preferred Stock as, when and if declared by the Board. As the Company will likely not pay the dividends in cash, and instead, the unpaid accrued dividends will be settled upon conversion to shares of common stock, the Company will record dividends distributable at the contractual dividend rate upon declaration. The dividends are cumulative and shall accrue starting from the April 8, 2020 issuance date. Dividends distributable of $0.4 million at November 30, 2020, have not yet been declared by the Board.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into the number of shares of common stock equal to the issue price divided by the conversion price of $0.15. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, all accrued and unpaid dividends will be converted to common stock utilizing the same conversion formula. The conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment for certain transactions relating to the Company’s common stock, including stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Holders may convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at any time and the Company has the right to cause each holder to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the original issue date if the common stock has traded for more than twenty (20) consecutive trading days above $0.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions). Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote with the holders of common stock, however, for so long as there are 423 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, the Company is required to obtain the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to take certain corporate actions, including to incur indebtedness in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in due course following the Exchange.

Warrants

Upon the April 2020 closing of the Exchange, in accordance with the security purchase agreements, as amended, pursuant to which the convertible notes were issued, the Company issued 1,498,418 warrants to the holders reflecting 4,000 warrants for each $1,000 of unpaid interest accrued on the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share on or before either October 22, 2023 (for Warrants issued for interest accrued on convertible notes issued in October 2019, April 2019 and May 2019) or January 22, 2024 (for warrants issued for interest accrued on convertible notes issued in July 2019 and September 2019 and related January 2020 Notes).

See Note 15, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for additional information.

The assumptions that the Company used to determine the grant-date fair value of warrants granted for the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Based on the Company’s stock price, provisions allowing for early termination of outstanding warrants issued in connection with the Company’s October 2018 financing were triggered on October 23, 2020. On October 25, 2020, the Company notified holders of the October 2018 warrants exercisable at $0.25 that it was exercising its early termination right and that the respective warrants would expire November 27, 2020. Between October 25, 2020 and November 27, 2020, holders of 1,890,787 warrants issued during the October 2018 financing and outstanding as of October 25, 2020 exercised warrants for 1,890,787 shares of common stock, generating approximately $470,000.

Based on the Company’s stock price, provisions allowing for early termination of two issuances of outstanding warrants issued in connection with the Company’s 2017 financing were triggered on May 29, 2020 and June 1, 2020, respectively. On June 3, 2020, the Company notified holders of 572,354 warrants exercisable at $0.15 that it is exercising its early termination right and that the respective warrants would expire July 3, 2020. On June 8, 2020, the Company notified holders of 17,773,881 warrants exercisable at $0.18 that it is exercising its early termination right and that the respective warrants would expire on August 31, 2020. Between June 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020, all holders of these 18,346,235 warrants issued during the 2017 financing and outstanding as of June 1, 2020 exercised those warrants for 18,346,235 shares of common stock, generating approximately $3,300,000. An additional 992,614 warrants that were issued in connection with the Company’s 2018 and 2019 private placements and exercisable at $0.25 were also exercised for 992,614 shares of common stock, raising approximately $200,000. In addition, in July 2020 a former consultant exercised 750,000 warrants exercisable at $0.155 pursuant to an agreement with the Company providing for cashless exercise of those warrants and resulting in the issuance of 683,190 shares of common stock.

During May 2020, a warrant holder exercised 117,925 warrants for 117,925 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per warrant for proceeds of approximately $21,000.

During March 2020, the Company raised approximately $3,200,000 through early warrant exercises, where 19,979,107 warrants were exercised for 19,979,107 shares of common stock. These warrants were issued on October 22, 2018, April 22, 2019, May 20, 2019, July 22, 2019, September 16, 2019 and January 15, 2020. The warrant exercise price was reduced from $0.25 to $0.16 per warrant to induce warrant holders to exercise. The Company recorded warrant inducement expense of $845,415 during the year ended November 30, 2020, which represents the difference between fair value at the reduced price of $0.16 per warrant and fair value at the contractual price of $0.25. The fair values of the warrants at $0.16 and $0.25 were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following table summarizes warrant activity, which includes the incentive warrants, for the year ended November 30, 2020:

The warrants outstanding at the end of the year had weighted-average remaining contract lives as follows:

Shares to be Issued

On June 8, 2020, the Company issued 72,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an employee for services rendered through May 31, 2020. As the stock price was $0.60 on the date the shares of common stock were issued, the Company recognized payroll expense on shares to be issued of $43,200. The Company maintained an amount of $20,000 in shares to be issued, which represented an obligation to issue shares to former employee. During November 2020, the former employee elected to settle the amount due for the services rendered in cash, resulting in no future obligation to issue shares at November 30, 2020.
