In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first detected in Wuhan, China. Following the outbreak of this virus, governments throughout the world, including in the United States of America, have quarantined certain affected regions, restricted travel and imposed significant limitations on other economic activities. Our customer base is heavily concentrated in the healthcare provider space. This part of the healthcare industry has indicated that they are seeing significant financial losses, have furloughed employees and are expressing uncertainty as to the short and long-term financial stability of their businesses. Our operations team is closely monitoring the impact to the Company’s business, including its cash flows, customers and employees. We have heard and are working with a number of our active customers since the outbreak began providing relief in the form of extended payment terms and other contractual restructurings. If the situation continues to impact our customers cash flow or resources available for cybersecurity and privacy projects, our cash flows, financial position and operating results for fiscal year 2021 and beyond will be negatively impacted.
On November 12, 2020, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (the “Agent”), under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5.0 million in an “at-the-market” or ATM offering, to or through the Agent. The Company agreed to pay the Agent a commission of three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales price per share of any common stock sold through the Agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
During November and December of 2020, the Company received gross proceeds under the Equity Distribution agreement of $2,027,000 from the issuance of 1,315,000 shares of our common stock and paid an aggregate of $61,000 to the Agent in commissions and $123,000 in other offering-related expenses, yielding net proceeds of $1,843,000.
At the end of 2020 the Company issued common stock under an equity distribution agreement receiving net proceeds of $1,843,000 from the issuance of 1,315,000 shares of our common stock that resulted in a Q1 2021 anti-dilution adjustment increasing the number of shares under the Horton Warrant to 518,915 and reducing the exercise price to $2.41. The resulting difference in fair value of the Horton Warrant with the new exercise price was $6,000 and determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recorded as a deemed dividend in our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. As the Company has an accumulated deficit, the deemed dividend was recorded within additional paid-in capital.
The detailed terms and conditions of the Horton Securities Purchase Agreement and the Horton Warrant can be found in the documents themselves, which were filed with the SEC on April 7, 2020.
In 2019, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Backbone Purchase Agreement”) with Backbone Enterprises Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Backbone”), and its stockholders, (the “Stockholders”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Backbone from the Stockholders. Pursuant to the Backbone Purchase Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for the Shares included an earn-out, pursuant to which the Stockholders may be entitled to an additional $4,000,000 based upon the post-closing financial performance of Backbone, to be calculated based upon revenue generated by the Backbone business during the three-year earn-out period. There was no earnout earned for the first year of the agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the earnout is $1,300,000 for the remaining 2 years of the agreement.
In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced, which spread globally and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy increased significantly in the first several months of 2020. In response to COVID-19, national and local governments around the world instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing.
