For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, amortization of debt discount was $0 and $1,173,190, respectively.

 

(a) On May 4, 2017, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 8% non-convertible secured debentures in the principal amount of $6,000,000 and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Company’s subsequent one-for-ten reverse stock split) to accredited investors. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable in cash quarterly in arrears. The debentures mature on December 31, 2018 and contain customary financial and other covenants, including a requirement to maintain positive annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The debentures are secured by a second priority security interest on the Company’s assets and the obligation is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries. The debentures contain a mandatory redemption provision that is triggered by an asset sale. Sale of greater than 33% of the Company’s assets will also trigger an event of default. Upon any event of default, in addition to other customary remedies, the holders have the right, at their sole option, to purchase Little Big Burger from the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,500,000. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 (as adjusted for the reverse stock split) and a ten-year term. Warrants to purchase 800,000 shares include a beneficial ownership limit upon exercise of 4.99% 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 the warrant; warrants to purchase the remaining 400,000 shares were amended to increase the beneficial ownership limit upon exercise to 19.99%. The shares of common stock underlying the warrants have registration rights, and, if the warrant shares were not registered, the holders would have the right to cashless exercise.

 

The consideration for $6 million loan was allocated between the loan and the warrants based upon the relative fair value of the loan and the warrants. The Company valued the warrants associated with the new debt obligation using the Black-Sholes model, which resulted in the allocation of $1.7 million to additional paid in capital with a corresponding offset to debt discount. In addition, there were $0.3 million in debt origination costs that are also accounted for as an offset to outstanding debt. The resulting debt discount of $2.0 million was amortized to interest expense over the 20-month term of the notes (amount was fully amortized at December 31, 2018).

 

The Company entered into an amendment to the 8% non-convertible secured debentures in December 2018. The maturity date was extended to March 31, 2020; provided however, if 50% of the principal balance of the debentures is not paid on or prior to December 31, 2019, the holders of the debentures in the aggregate principal amount greater than $3 million, acting together, may demand full and immediate payment to the Company upon 15 days’ written notice. In addition, each holder received new warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.25 and are not exercisable for a period of six months. This amendment was accounted for as a debt modification and the relative fair value of the warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes model, of $1.5 million was recorded as additional paid-in-capital at December 31, 2018. In connection with the debt modification, $1.5 million of accrued default interest on the 8% non-convertible secured debentures was written off.

 

Additionally, the Company lowered the strike price for several classes of warrants to $.50 to allow for warrant holders exercise their warrants in anticipation of the merger contemplated with Sonnet. As of December 31, 2019, there were 307,157 warrants exercised.
