The loan agreement was terminated prior to January 1, 2018. The warrants were due to expire on February 17, 2025.

The warrants were classified as a derivative liability within other liabilities prior to exercise in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and subsequent adjustments to fair value are shown in other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

For the June 30, 2021 valuation, the Company assigned a 95% probability of a SPAC exit and a 5% probability of staying a private company.

The warrants granted the customer the right to purchase up to 280,528 shares of the Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share.
