The fair value of those warrants was estimated to be $1,576 at inception and $2,812 as of December 31, 2019.

Upon the issuance of the 2,243 shares, the March and May 2017 warrants were extinguished.

In the Letter Agreements, the Company agreed to a stand still from issuing common shares for 100 days from the date of the Agreements.
