On
January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “January
Note Purchase Agreement”) with three institutional investors (collectively, the “January
Note Holders”) providing for the sale and issuance of an aggregate original principal
amount of $6,300 in convertible notes due January 2023 (each, a “Note,” and,
collectively, the “Notes,” and such financing, the “January Note Offering”).
The Company and the January Note Holders also entered into a security agreement, dated January
12, 2022, in connection with the January Note Offering, pursuant to which the Company granted
a security interest to the January Note Holders in substantially all of its assets. The January
Note Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from entering into an agreement to effect any
issuance of common stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined therein) during
the term of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein. The January Note
Purchase Agreement also gives the January Note Holders the right to require the Company to
use up to 15% of the gross proceeds raised from future debt or equity financings to redeem
the Notes, which redemptions have been elected by the January Note Holders. There are no
financial covenants related to these notes payable.
The
Company received $6,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes. The Notes bear interest of 6.0% per annum, have an original
issue discount of 5.0%, mature 12 months from the closing date, and have an initial conversion price of $3.00, subject to adjustment
in certain circumstances as set forth in the Notes.
In
connection with the January Note Offering, the Company paid $461 of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs and the debt discount
of $300 are being amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. As of December 31, 2022, the amount
of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $6 and $10, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company
amortized the remaining amount of debt discount and debt issuance costs.
As
of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the outstanding balance of the Notes amounted to $0 and $1,350, respectively. During the year ended
December 31, 2022, the Company repaid $4,950 in principal payments and $357 of accrued interest to January Note Holders pursuant

On
November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “November
Note Purchase Agreement”) and promissory note with an institutional investor (the “November
Note Holder”) providing for the sale and issuance of an unsecured, non-convertible
promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,470, which has an original issue discount
of $470, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,000 (the “November
Note,” and such financing, the “November Note Offering”). The November
Note matures eighteen months following the date of issuance. Commencing six months from the
date of issuance, the Company is required to make monthly cash redemption payments in an
amount not to exceed $600. The November Note may be repaid in whole or in part prior to the
maturity date for a 10% premium. The November Note requires the Company to use up to 20%
of the gross proceeds raised from future equity or debt financings, or the sale of any subsidiary
or material asset, to prepay the November Note, subject to a $2,000 cap on the aggregate
prepayment amount. Until all obligations under the November Note have been paid in full,
the Company is not permitted to grant a security interest in any of its assets, or to issue
securities convertible into shares of common stock, subject in each case to certain exceptions.
verbMarketplace, LLC entered into a guaranty, dated November 7, 2022, in connection with
the November Note Offering, pursuant to which it guaranteed the obligations of the Company
under the November Note in exchange for receiving a portion of the loan proceeds.
In
connection with the November Note Offering, the Company incurred $335 of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs and the debt
discount of $450 are being amortized over the term of the November Notes using the effective interest rate method. As of December
31, 2022, the amount of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $402 and $299, respectively.
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid $375 in cash and $5,097 in shares; amortized $304 of debt discount and $226 of
debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2023, the amount of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs was $99 and $73, respectively.
