As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, authorized, of which 5,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and 5,000,000 shares are non-designated (“blank check,” together with the Series A Preferred, the “Preferred Shares”) shares. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no preferred stock outstanding.

 

Stock Issued for Convertible Debt

  

The Company issued 33,322,397 shares of its Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the lenders in lieu of cash payments for $42 thousand of interest and $22.6 million of outstanding principal on the 2024 Additional Notes.

 

Sale of Common Stock and Capital Raises

 

January 2026 Offering

 

On January 12, 2026, the Company closed on an offering (the “January 2026 Offering”) for the sale of (i) 19,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “2026 Shares”), (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 41,790,274 shares of Common Stock (the “2026 Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (iii) common warrants to purchase up to 121,580,548 shares of Common Stock (the “2026 Common Warrants”).

 

The January 2026 Offering price for (i) each 2026 Share and accompanying 2026 Common Warrant was $16.45 and (ii) each 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying 2026 Common Warrant was $16.45 (with all but a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share prepaid as of the issuance date). The 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and will expire seven years from the date of issuance. As of March 31, 2026, the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants have been fully exercised. The 2026 Common Warrants have an exercise price of $28.00 per share, were immediately exercisable and will expire seven years from the date of issuance.

 

The 2026 Common Warrants may be cash settled, at the option of the holders, upon a change of control event. Because share settlement of the 2026 Common Warrants is not within the Company’s control, the 2026 Common Warrants were initially classified as a liability with a fair value of $1,194 million, and the Company recognized a loss of $234.9 million. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion of the warrant liability.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the January 2026 Offering was $959.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding any proceeds that may be received from the exercise of the 2026 Common Warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company

 

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) to determine the fair value of warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company. The Black-Scholes Model is an acceptable model in accordance with U.S GAAP. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the term of the warrant.

  

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the warrants. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. Our estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. We used the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of our stock price.
