NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Giga-tronics Incorporated (“Giga-tronics,” “Company,” “us” or “we”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to make the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 27, 2021 for a discussion of our significant accounting policies. During the three months ended June 26, 2021, there were no material changes to these policies other than as disclosed below. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for the year ended March 27, 2021.
On December 12, 2019, the Company completed a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of its common stock. All shares and per share amounts included in the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giga-tronics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Microsource, Inc. (“Microsource”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3. Financed Receivables
On March 11, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (“Restated Financing Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank, as successor to Bridge Bank.
Under the Restated Financing Agreement, Western Alliance Bank may advance up to 85% of the amounts of invoices issued by the Company up to a maximum of $2.5 million in aggregate advances outstanding at any time.
Under the Restated Financing Agreement, interest accrues on outstanding amounts at an annual rate equal to the greater of prime or 4.5% plus one percent. The Company is required to pay certain fees, including an annual facility fee of $14,700 that is paid in two equal semiannual installments. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Financing Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Restated Financing Agreement has no specified term and may be terminated by either the Company or Western Alliance Bank at any time.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company borrowed a total of $620,000 and repaid a total of $1.0 million under the Restated Financing Agreement. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company borrowed a total of $344,000 and repaid a total of $424,000 under the Restated Financing Agreement. As of June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, the Company’s total outstanding borrowings under the Restated Financing Agreement were $295,246 and $683,382, respectively, and are included in Loan payable, net of discounts and issuance costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 4. Term Loan
On April 27, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 million loan agreement with Partners For Growth (“PFG”), which was funded by PFG on April 28, 2017 (“PFG Loan”).
As of June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, the Company’s total outstanding loan balance was zero dollars and the agreement was terminated.
Note 5. Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act
On April 23, 2020, the Company borrowed $786,200 from Western Alliance Bank pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid Relief, and the Economic Security Act (“PPP Loan”). The Company accounted for the PPP Loan as a loan under ASC 470, Debt. The PPP Loan had a stated maturity date of April 23, 2022 with interest accruing on the principal balance at the rate of 1.0% per annum.
On November 19, 2020, the outstanding principal and accrued interest for the PPP Loan was forgiven in full by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and recognized as a gain on extinguishment.
Note 6. Leases
Operating leases
Building - The Company has a non-cancelable operating lease for office, research and development, engineering, laboratory, storage and/or warehouse uses in Dublin, California for 77 months from April 1, 2017 through August 31, 2023. The Company agreed to pay an aggregate base rent of $2,384,913 for the period of 77 months, with an annual increase of $0.05 per rentable square foot for each subsequent year beyond the initial twelve month lease period. The lease provided for rent abatement of $173,079 during the initial five months of the lease term, subject to the Company performing the terms and conditions required under the lease, and certain tenant improvements completed at the landlord’s expense of $358,095.
Per the terms of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company does not have any residual value guarantees. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company has elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate. The Company has elected for facility operating leases to not separate each lease component from its associated non-lease components. The building lease includes variable payments (i.e. common area maintenance) which are charged and paid separately from rent based on actual costs incurred and therefore are not included in the right-of-use asset and liability but reflected in operating expense in the period incurred.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurement
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
• |
Level 1 —Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and readily accessible by us at the reporting date. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. Treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices in active markets. |
• |
Level 2 —Valuations based on inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in active markets. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs are U.S. government agency bonds, corporate bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and over-the-counter derivatives. |
• |
Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions. |
In determining the fair value of warrants, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Upon issuance on April 27, 2021 and at June 26, 2021 the prefunded warrants liability was measured at fair value. See Note 8.
The Company’s fair value hierarchies for its financial assets and liabilities which require fair value measurement on a recurring basis are as follows:
Level 1 |
Level 2 |
Level 3 |

During the three months ended June 26, 2021 and the year ended March 27, 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets or liabilities reported at fair value and the valuation techniques used did not change compared to the Company’s established practice.
The fair value measurement of the prefunded warrants has been determined considering its intrinsic value because of the de-minimis exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Company’s common stock fair value is a significant Level 3 input affecting the valuation of the prefunded warrants.

There were no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and there were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at March 27, 2021.
Note 8. Sales of Common Stock and Prefunded Warrants
On April 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (“Investors”) pursuant to which it issued and sold prefunded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 461,538 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Prefunded Warrants”) for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 or $3.25 per Prefunded Warrants in a private placement on the same day. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses of the private placement were approximately $1,343,000. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and certain indemnification obligations and ongoing covenants of the Company.
The Prefunded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised for a de-minimis exercise price of $0.01 per share subject to the limitation that a holder of the Prefunded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Prefunded Warrants if the holder together with its affiliates and attribution parties (as such terms are defined in the Prefunded Warrants) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Prefunded Warrants. The Prefunded Warrants do not expire. The Prefunded Warrants also contain a put option, under which, if the Company enters into a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Prefunded Warrants, the Company or any successor entity will, at the option of a holder of a Prefunded Warrant, which is exercisable concurrently with or at any time within 30 days after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, purchase such holder’s Prefunded Warrants by paying to such holder an amount of cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of such holder’s Prefunded Warrants within five trading days after the notice of exercise by the holder of the put option. Because of this put-option provision, the Prefunded Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value of $1,703,000 on the issuance date and are marked to market at each reporting date. Further because the fair value of the prefunded warrants liability on the issuance date was greater than the proceeds of the Prefunded Private Placement and the warrants were issued to existing common stockholders, the difference was recorded to accumulated deficit as a $203,000 deemed dividend. There were finance costs of $157,000 associated with the issuance of the Prefunded Warrants. There was a gain on remeasurement of $46,000 on the prefunded warrant liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Both of these amounts are recorded in Other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and as a condition to closing the private placement, the Company and each Investor simultaneously entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) requiring the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC within 45 days of the closing of the private placement to register for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Prefunded Warrants. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, certain liquidated damages provisions for failing to comply with the timing obligations for the filing and effectiveness of the registration statement, and certain customary indemnification obligations.
On April 27, 2021, in connection with the private placement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 23,076 shares of the Company’s common stock to the placement agent for such offering (“Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price per share equal to $3.575, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, and will expire on April 27, 2026. The Placement Agent Warrants do not have the same put option provision as the Prefunded Warrants and, therefore, are classified as equity.
On June 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a private investor for the sale of a total of 46,154 common shares at the price of $3.25 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $150,000. The sale was completed, and the shares of common stock were issued on June 6, 2021. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses of the transaction were approximately $145,000. This transaction was completed in conjunction with the conversion of 3,500 shares of Series E preferred stock. See Note 14.
Note 9. Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the net incremental shares that would be issued if unvested restricted shares became vested and dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised, using the treasury stock method. In addition, certain options are considered antidilutive because assumed proceeds from exercise price, related tax benefits and average future compensation was greater than the weighted average number of options outstanding multiplied by the average market price during the period.
Shares included in the diluted EPS calculation for the three-month periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 are as follows:

There were no dilutive securities in the three months ended June 26, 2021 because the stock options are considered antidilutive. The dilutive securities in the prior year were due to stock options using the treasury method as described above.
Note 10. Stock-based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans
The Company maintains the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for the issuance of up to 416,667 shares of common stock upon the exercise of options, stock awards and grants. With the adoption of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, no further awards will be issued under the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, though all awards under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan that are outstanding will continue to be governed by the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the plan and any applicable award agreement.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company granted stock options to purchase 18,000 shares of common stock. The options vest over a four year service period. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $58,974. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company did not grant any stock options. The vested portion of all option grants may be exercised only while the grantee is employed by the Company (or while providing services under a service arrangement in the case of non-employees) or within a certain period after termination of employment or service arrangement in the case of non-employees. Options granted to employees shall not have terms in excess of 10 years from the grant date. Holders of options may be granted stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), which entitle them to surrender outstanding awards for a cash distribution under certain changes in ownership of the Company, as defined in the stock option plan. As of June 26, 2021 and March 27, 2021, no SARs have been granted under any option plan.
As of June 26, 2021, there were 123,167 shares of common stock available for issuance of additional awards under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company records compensation cost associated with stock-based compensation equivalent to the estimated fair value of the awards over the requisite service period.
Stock Options
In calculating compensation related to stock option grants, the fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

The computation of expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The expected term is estimated based on a review of historical employee exercise behavior with respect to option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates with maturity similar to the expected term of the option on the date of grant.

As of June 26, 2021, there was $393,602 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.43 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. There were 19,661 options that vested during the quarter ended June 26, 2021 and 24,693 options that vested during the quarter ended June 27, 2020. The total fair value of options that vested during the quarters ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was $76,771 and $105,124 respectively. There were no options exercised in the three-month periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020. Share based compensation cost related to stock options recognized for the three month periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 totaled $129,000 and $68,000, respectively.
Restricted Stock
The Company granted 18,000 restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and no RSAs were granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. RSAs are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value at the grant date is amortized over the requisite service period net of estimated forfeitures.
As of June 26, 2021, there was $40,334 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSAs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.75 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Compensation cost recognized for RSAs and unrestricted stock awards for the three month periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 totaled $26,000 and $8,000, respectively.
A summary of the changes in non-vested RSAs outstanding for the three month period ended June 26, 2021 is as follows:

Note 11. Significant Customer and Industry Segment Information
The Company has two reportable segments, Microsource and the Giga-tronics Division. Microsource’s primary business is the design of custom Microwave Integrated Components (“MIC”) as well as the production of MIC components using chip and wire assembly methods. Microsource offers a line of tunable, synthesized Band Reject Filters for solving interference problems in RADAR and Electronic Warfare ("RADAR/EW") applications. Self-protection systems onboard high-performance military aircraft often require RADAR filters to block electromagnetic interference generated by other onboard electronic systems, primarily from the aircraft’s main RADAR system. These high-speed, tunable notch filters can quickly block interference from both continuous wave and wide bandwidth emissions. Using proprietary driver and phase lock technology, these filters offer tuning speeds that are up to ten times faster than traditional filter designs. We design these filters specifically for each application. Microsource’s two largest customers are prime contractors for which it develops and manufactures RADAR filters used in fighter jet aircraft.
The Giga-tronics Division designs, manufactures and markets a family of functional test products for the RADAR/EW segment of the defense electronics market. Our RADAR/EW test products are used to evaluate and improve the performance of RADAR/EW systems.
The table below presents information for the two reportable segments:

A second customer accounted for 28% and was included in the Giga-tronics division.
Note 12. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as codified in Topic 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 was 0% each year, primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax asset balance.
As of June 26, 2021, the Company had recorded $52,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The unrecognized tax benefit is netted against the non-current deferred tax asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company does not expect the liability for unrecognized tax benefits to change materially within the next 12 months.
Note 13. Warranty Obligations
The Company records a liability in cost of revenue for estimated warranty obligations at the date products are sold. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. The following provides a reconciliation of changes in the Company’s warranty reserve. The Company provides no other guarantees.

Note 14. Preferred Stock and Warrants
Series E Senior Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock
On March 26, 2018, the Company issued and sold 42,800 shares of a newly designated series of 6.0% Series E Senior Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series E Shares”) to approximately 15 investors in a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 million. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses were approximately $1.0 million. During the 2019 fiscal year, the Company issued and sold an additional 56,200 Series E Shares resulting in additional gross proceeds of $1,405,000 or approximately $1.2 million after fees and expenses of approximately $212,000.
Holders of Series E Shares are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, cumulative preferential dividends, payable semiannual in cash at a rate per annum equal to 6.0% of the initial purchase price of $25.00 per share or in-kind (at the Company’s election) through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the 10 day volume weighted average price of the common stock. The deemed dividend is reflected on the face of the income statement as a decrease in net income (or an increase in the case of a net loss) to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.
Series E Exchange
The Company completed a private exchange offer on November 7, 2019, issuing an aggregate of 896,636 shares of common stock in exchange for 88,600 Series E Shares and the unpaid dividends accrued thereon. The shares of common stock issued in the exchange were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), though other exemptions may be available.
During the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company issued an additional 35,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 3,500 Series E Shares. As a result, 5,700 Series E Shares with an aggregate liquidation preference of $214,000 remained outstanding as of June 26, 2021. See Note 8.

Note 15. COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and in March 2020 classified the outbreak as a pandemic. In March 2020, the President of the United States and the Governor of California declared a state of emergency, based on the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases including in California. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented a number of measures intended to ensure the safety of personnel and the continuity of operations. Following a mandated shut down in March 2020, the Company was designated as an essential business and has largely returned to “business as usual,” though it continues to implement and follow the protective measures described above.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the global, national and local economy. The overall economic and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the areas in which the Company and its customers and suppliers operates is not known and cannot be predicted at this time. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty about the duration and the total economic impact. If this situation is prolonged, the pandemic could cause additional delays and could have a short- or long-term adverse impact, possibly material, on the Company’s future financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
On July 28, 2021, the Company amended the terms of the Prefunded Warrants to restrict the holder’s option to require cash payment at the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the holder’s Prefunded Warrants to only Fundamental Transactions that are within the Company’s control. Because of this modification of the put-option provision, the Prefunded Warrants are no longer required to be classified as a liability under either ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, guidance and do not include any embedded features that require bifurcation. Therefore, the Prefunded Warrants liability will be remeasured on the modification date of July 28, 2021 and reclassified to equity as of that date. See Note 8.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Giga-tronics manufactures specialized electronic equipment for use in both military test and airborne operational applications. Our operations consist of two business segments, those of our wholly owned subsidiary, Microsource, Inc. and those of our Giga-tronics Division. Our Microsource segment designs and manufactures custom microwave products for military airborne applications while the Giga-tronics Division designs and manufactures real time solutions for RADAR/EW test applications.
Our Microsource subsidiary generates revenue through sole-source production contracts for custom engineered components funded by the U.S. Federal Government. Microsource revenue for fiscal year 2021 was $9.4 million related to production of RADAR filters for the F-15D, F-16 and F/A-18E aircrafts. These filters solve an interference problem that occurs between the aircraft’s RADAR system and the onboard electronic warfare suite when these older aircrafts receive upgraded RADAR systems. The engineering of each filter variant was funded by the U.S. Government indirectly through each prime contractor, including filters for foreign military sales.
Orders for Microsource components primarily involve production contracts where the period of performance spans multiple years. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, Microsource received a new customer-funded development contract valued at $726,000 for redesigning an oscillator component used in missile defense systems that is expected to lead to increased volume production in future years.
Opportunities exist for expanding the use of our Microsource RADAR filters by offering to design variants, such as for use in situations where the electronic warfare suite is externally mounted on a pylon rather than onboard the aircraft. Microsource will also pursue development contracts for adapting the Company’s Advanced Signal Generator & Analyzer technology for the benefit of customers who will appreciate faster operation of our RADAR filters, representing a potential source of new revenue as customers upgrade their installed base. In addition, from time-to-time, the Company may pursue adding 3rd party sole-source component revenue though acquisition.
Our Giga-tronics Division participates in the EW test segment with modular microwave up and down converters, real-time Threat Emulation Systems (“TEmS”) and integrated playback and record solutions. The Giga-tronics solutions are architected like a RADAR system but built like a test system. This approach, which we believe is unique, differentiates the Company from other suppliers that serve this segment and allows solutions using this technology to provide a better correlation between laboratory tests and actual field results. The platform was specifically designed to address the need for multiple test channels and delivers a product that is smaller, more flexible, easier to use and lower in cost than those previously available.
Orders for Giga-tronics EW test solutions are relatively large, tend to be sporadic and typically involve a long and consultive sales process. Competing against market incumbents has exposed greater than expected challenges in displacing them in laboratory settings. We have achieved limited success to date because existing solutions offer extensive test capability with a record of success built over years of use. These larger and higher cost multi-purpose solutions have become the accepted standard and customers face substantial risk switching to a new solution on a large-scale basis. Consequently, our EW test sales have fallen short of our expectations due to the long time required to establish credibility and grow market share in the laboratory segment.
During fiscal 2021, we moved beyond the laboratory environment and pursued opportunities for open-air range applications for our TEmS solution. Market incumbents on these ranges offer single-purpose solutions because the applications being addressed are less data-intensive and narrower in their requirements compared to those in the laboratory environment. During fiscal 2021, Giga-tronics successfully won sales into applications for air-crew training and air-to-ground missile testing. We believe our initial success in the market for open-air range application results in part because customers only need to compare our accuracy and fidelity against a competing single purpose solution rather than the extensive capability offered by competing laboratory solutions. We believe the Giga-tronics solution is very competitive with incumbent open-air solutions due to its lower price point, smaller size, and relative ease of use. Our early success in applications for air-crew training and air-to-ground missile testing leads us to believe that we can grow our market share faster in this segment compared to laboratory settings. Management expects that additional sales for air-crew training and field testing on ranges throughout the country represent an opportunity for the growth of the Company’s EW test business revenue in fiscal 2022.
COVID-19 Impact
Following the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, Giga-tronics was subsequently identified as an essential business by the Department of Homeland Security due to the importance of our Microsource RADAR filters to the U.S. Department of Defense. The Company restored operations as quickly as feasible while taking the necessary steps to protect our employees from potential harm. Although Giga-tronics experienced a relatively brief shutdown period in late fiscal 2020, the impact was nevertheless significant financially as we had to absorb all of our overhead expenses without any offsetting shipments during that period. During fiscal 2021, Giga-tronics applied for and received a loan of $786,200 from the SBA associated with the U.S. Government’s Paycheck Protection Program. The loan, including all accrued interest, was subsequently forgiven in November 2020 and was recorded as a gain on extinguishment of debt during our third quarter of fiscal 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our ability to directly interact in person with customers at the end of fiscal 2020 and throughout fiscal 2021. Consequently, the progress in demonstrating solutions to customers and increasing awareness of Giga-tronics within the user community was delayed. Furthermore, we were unable to discuss customer needs in-person and how our solutions could solve their problems as the military bases blocked outside personnel from visiting and mandated their own personnel to work from home. In addition, travel restrictions made it difficult for our sales team to visit locations throughout the country due to mandatory quarantine periods during fiscal 2021.
The pandemic also impacted our supply chain during most of fiscal 2021. Many of our suppliers have indicated similar challenges in keeping their own operations running and management believes there may still be some residual delays in fulfilling orders due to the limited availability of parts and services. We expect this situation to improve throughout fiscal 2022.
While we expect the impact of COVID-19 to be temporary, the disruptions caused have negatively impacted our revenue and results from operations beginning in March of 2020 and throughout most of fiscal year 2021. Looking ahead, we see improved domestic and global economies as the vaccine distribution progresses and overall domestic reported COVID-19 cases decrease or remain substantially lower compared to 2021. To the extent that our sales team is better able to interact with and demonstrate our solutions to customers, we anticipate a positive impact on orders for our Giga-tronics EW test solutions in fiscal year 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies
Please refer to the section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 27, 2021 entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three months ended June 26, 2021, there were no material changes to these policies other than as disclosed in Note 1 Organization and Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. While we believe that these accounting policies and estimates are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates and forecasts.

New orders received in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 increased to $1.5 million from $431,000 received in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Giga-tronics Division had a minimal increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to changes in the contract procurement method by the U.S. Military, which we believe caused a delay in anticipated orders for our TEmS systems during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Microsource business unit experienced a 960% increase in orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 which was attributable to three RADAR filters orders received in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The timing of receipt of expected large RADAR filter contracts varies from period to period.
The following table shows order backlog and related information at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021:

Backlog at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 26% compared to the prior year. The Giga-tronics Division backlog at June 26, 2021 was $406,000, a 253% increase from the comparable prior year date due to the receipt of a synthesizer order from a foreign military service provider. Microsource experienced an 18% increase in backlog in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the receipt of three orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Fiscal 2022 first quarter net revenue was $2.1 million, a 42% decrease as compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Microsource reported a decrease of $440,000 in revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the absence of significant new orders. As required by the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) the Company recognizes revenue for certain contracts as it incurs costs and production service activities, as opposed to when completed units are delivered. The Giga-tronics division reported only $51,000 in revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in the Giga-tronics division revenue was due to an unanticipated delay caused by changes in the U.S. Military's procurement method as noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $129,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $79,000 as well as an increase in headcount in the sales team and increased expenses associated with the fiscal year-end 2021 audit.

Net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $3,000, a decrease of $30,000 over the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Interest expense decreased primarily due to the payoff of the PFG Loan in March 2021 and lower average borrowings under the Company's restated financing agreement during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Cumulative dividends on Series E preferred stock increased by $43,000 due to the conversion of 3,500 shares of Series E preferred stock to common stock. See Note 14.
There were finance costs of $157,000 associated with the issuance of the Prefunded Warrants. There was a gain on remeasurement of $46,000 on the prefunded warrant liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Both of these amounts are recorded in Other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 8.
Net income (loss)
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $860,000 compared to net income of $72,000 recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The loss was primarily due to the reduction in revenue of $1.5 million as described above.
Cash Flows
The following summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated has been derived from our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing:

Cash at the end of the quarter |
$ | 1,030 | $ | 642 |
Our cash balance increased to $1.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to the sale of prefunded warrants described in Note 8 above.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we used cash of $699,000 from operating activities compared to $439,000 used in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in the cash used was primarily due to an increase in inventories, in anticipation of new orders, of $829,000 from $3.6 million as of March 27, 2021 to $4.4 million as of June 26, 2021.
We expect that cash flows from operating activities will fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors including our level of revenue, which fluctuates significantly from one period to another due to the timing of receipt of contracts, operating results, amounts of non-cash charges, and the timing of our inventory purchases, billings, collections and disbursements.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended June 26, 2021 was $993,000 which was primarily the result of net proceeds of approximately $1.3 million from the sale of prefunded warrants and net proceeds of $146,000 from the sale of common stock, partially offset by a net reduction of $388,000 in the loan payable balance and lease payments of $108,000.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 was $424,000, primarily due to proceeds from the PPP Loan of $786,000 as described in Note 5 above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
A Non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the SEC as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that includes or excludes amounts from the most directly comparable measure under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures.
We measure our operating performance in part based on Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used but is not a recognized accounting term under GAAP. We use Adjusted EBITDA to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, and to plan and evaluate operating budgets. We believe that our measure of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to the public regarding our operating performance and ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measure of Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead as a supplemental to, income from operations, net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, net other income or expense, share based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. In the following reconciliation, we provide amounts as reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise noted.
The reconciliation of our net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

AMENDED AND RESTATED
PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
GIGA-TRONICS INCORPORATED
Warrant Shares: __________ Issue Date: April 27, 2021
Amendment Date: July 29, 2021
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, __________________ or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the Issue Date to subscribe for and purchase from Giga-tronics Incorporated, a California corporation (the “Company”), up to ________ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. This Warrant shall not expire prior to exercise. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). This Warrant amends and restates Holder’s Prefunded Common Stock Purchase Warrant first issued as of the Issue Date, effective as of the Amendment Date.
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 27, 2021, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto. Within one (1) Trading Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the VWAP (as defined below) immediately preceding the time of delivery of the Notice of Exercise giving rise to the applicable “cashless exercise”, as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise (to clarify, the “last VWAP” will be the last VWAP as calculated over an entire Trading Day such that, in the event that this Warrant is exercised at a time that the Trading Market is open, the prior Trading Day’s VWAP shall be used in this calculation);
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
d) |
Mechanics of Exercise. |
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares; provided payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise) is received within three Trading Days of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company
fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any
portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within three Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the
Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends, Splits and Reclassifications. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re‑classification.
b) Reserved.
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
e) Fundamental Transaction.
(1) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result
of a stock split, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 3(a) above), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes
Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a five-year period, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to five years from the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Holder shall be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any material provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
