9. COMMON STOCK

The Company has authorized 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 25,938,332 shares and 6,964,788 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On April 11, 2014, in conjunction with the reverse acquisition (See Note 1) and the 2014 Private Placement, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to the former shareholders of CPHI and 1,835,212 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 200,000 shares of Series A Non-Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 2,035,212 shares of common stock.

In August 2014, the Company issued 541,948 shares of common stock to a vendor in connection with a settlement of debt obligation (Note 6).

In December 2014, the Company issued 87,691 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options to purchase common stock and the Company received net proceeds of $4,450.

 

In December 2014, the Company issued 33,333 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock and the Company received net proceeds of $33,333. Also in December 2014, the Company issued 15,360 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 21,500 shares of common stock that were exercised under a cashless exercise provision.

On September 23, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split within a range of 1:1.25 to 1:5 (the “Reverse Stock Split Range”) which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders on October 8, 2014. The stockholder approval authorizes the Company to amend its Certificate of Incorporation until, on or before the date that is the earlier of one year from the date the Company received stockholder approval and the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders is held to effect a reverse stock split of the issued shares of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio within the Reverse Stock Split Range, as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Reverse Split Amendment Authorization”). While the Company’s board of directors has not determined to effect a reverse stock split, it may determine that effecting a reverse stock split is necessary in connection with the Company’s ability to satisfy the initial listing requirements to support its plan to be listed on NASDAQ or the NYSE MKT.

2014 Private Placement

In four closings in April and May 2014, CPHI completed the 2014 Private Placement and sold an aggregate of 10,260,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,260,000 shares of CPHI common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a five year term. The aggregate gross proceeds of $10,260,000 were allocated between the common stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values which amounted to $5,349,000 for the common stock and $4,911,000 for the warrants.

Net proceeds after deducting offering expenses were $8,402,000. Aegis Capital Corp acted as the exclusive placement agent for the 2014 Private Placement (the “Placement Agent”). The Placement Agent received a cash fee of $1,023,000 and a non-accountable expense allowance of $308,000. In addition, the Placement Agent received warrants to purchase 2,047,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a five year term. These warrants contain a cashless exercise feature and the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a stock issuance cost and was netted against the gross proceeds received. Certain members of the management of Aegis Capital Corp. are also shareholders of CPHI.

In connection with the 2014 Private Placement, CPHI entered into a registration rights agreement with the private placement investors, the Placement Agent and holders of its outstanding warrants. CPHI was required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than July 29, 2014, covering the resale of the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued in the 2014 Private Placement, as well as the existing warrants. The Company filed a confidential registration statement on Form S-1 on July 2, 2014 and the S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on October 3, 2014. The Company is required to keep the registration statement effective for a period of one year, or until Rule 144 of the Securities Act is available to investors, whichever is earlier.
