8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
February 2013 Public Offering
On February 20, 2013, pursuant to securities purchase agreements entered into with investors on February 12, 2013, the Company completed a registered public offering of an aggregate of 550,000 shares of its common stock, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 550,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share which are exercisable for five years from issuance, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 275,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share which were exercisable for one year from issuance, for gross proceeds of $5,500,000 and net proceeds of $4,975,153 after deducting transaction costs, which include placement agent fees, legal, and accounting costs associated with the offering (the “February 2013 Offering”). The warrant exercise price and the common stock issuable pursuant to such warrants are subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits and similar capital reorganizations, in which event the rights of the warrant holders would be adjusted as necessary so that they would be equivalent to the rights of the warrant holders prior to such event. The exercise price of the warrants is also subject to adjustment for dilutive issuances (“down-round protection”). The warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification as a result of the down-round protection. Accordingly the initial fair value of the warrants totaling $5,720,000 was recorded as a derivative liability on the date of issuance. The fair value upon issuance exceeded the net proceeds received in the offering. The excess of $744,957 was recorded as a loss on issuance of derivative warrants on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The Company measures the change in market value of the derivative instruments at each reporting period utilizing a modified option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants (see Note 3). The change in fair value from the date of issuance through December 31, 2013 of $2,365,000 was recorded as a gain on derivatives in the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. In the February 2013 Offering, the Company paid a cash fee of $385,000 and issued warrants to purchase 38,500 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $12.50 per share expiring on February 4, 2018 to the placement agent. The placement agent warrants do not contain down-round protection. On February 20, 2014, warrants to purchase 275,000 shares of common stock expired. The change in fair value of the remaining outstanding 550,000 warrants of $2,227,500 was recorded as a gain on derivatives in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Reverse Stock Split and Recapitalization
At the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio between 1:10 to 1:20 in order to satisfy requirements for the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, the proposal approved by the stockholders provided that if the reverse split was effected, the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue would be reduced from 150,000,000 to the greater of (A) 20,000,000 and (B) the number of shares equal to three (3) times the sum of the number of all shares of common stock outstanding and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt. The Company’s stockholders further authorized the board of directors to determine the ratio at which the reverse split would be effected and the corresponding reduction in authorized shares of common stock by filing an appropriate amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. The board of directors authorized the ratio of the reverse split and corresponding reduction in authorized shares on June 6, 2014, and effective at the close of business on June 13, 2014, the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation was amended to effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of the Company’s common stock (the “Listing Reverse Split”) and reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock to 20,000,000 from 150,000,000. All share and per share numbers included in these consolidated financial statements give effect to the Listing Reverse Split. August 2014 Underwritten Offering
On August 20, 2014, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 3,583,333 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 3,833,333 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $4.68 per share, expiring on August 20, 2019 (the “August 2014 Underwritten Offering”). The offering price was $3.75 per common share and $.01 per warrant, which resulted in gross proceeds of $13,475,832 and net proceeds of $11,877,143 after deducting transaction costs. The underwriter received a weighted average discount of approximately 6.4 percent on the underwritten securities. The underwriting discount, along with other legal and accounting costs associated with the offering totaling $1,598,689, including those previously included as deferred issuance costs, was recorded as a reduction of the gross proceeds received. The underwriter also received warrants to purchase 96,988 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.6875 as compensation pursuant to the underwriting agreement. The fair value of the underwriter warrants was approximately $275,000 at issuance and had no impact on stockholders’ equity. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants and applies assumptions that consider, among other variables, the fair value of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life and dividend rates in estimating fair value for the warrants. Assumptions used are generally consistent with those disclosed for stock-based compensation (see Note 9). The warrant exercise price for all warrants issued as part of the August 2014 Underwritten Offering and the common stock issuable pursuant to such warrants is subject to adjustment only for stock dividends, stock splits and similar capital reorganizations so that the rights of the warrant holders after such events will be equivalent to the rights of the warrant holders prior to such events. The Company determined that these warrants meet the requirements for classification as equity. Due to the issuance of common stock at $3.75 per share as part August 2014 Underwritten Offering, the remaining outstanding warrants issued as part of the February 2013 Public Offering, as well as the Legacy Warrants (see Note 3) were adjusted to reflect the revised exercise price of $3.75 each. As a result of the August 2014 Underwritten Offering, the Company’s common stock and the warrants issued in the offering were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbols CLRB and CLRBW, respectively. August 2014 Debenture Tender and Exchange
In conjunction with the August 2014 Underwritten Offering, all of the debenture holders elected to participate in the offering of common stock and warrants at the combined offering price of $3.76 per share. As a result, the $4,000,000 principal amount of debentures and accrued interest of $172,435 was extinguished in exchange for 1,109,690 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 1,109,690 shares of common stock at $4.68 per share. Registration Rights
In connection with securities purchase agreements entered into on April 8, 2011 with certain accredited investors, the Company is subject to certain registration requirements. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on July 17, 2012 covering the resale of 200,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the registration requirements and this registration statement was declared effective on July 26, 2012. The Company is required to keep the registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), until the earlier of the date when all the registrable securities covered by the registration statement have been sold or such time as all the registrable securities covered by the registration statement can be sold under Rule 144 without any volume limitations. The Company will be allowed to suspend the use of the registration statement for not more than 30 consecutive days on not more than two occasions in any 12-month period (the “Allowed Delay”). If the Company suspends the use of the registration for longer than the Allowed Delay, it may be required to pay to the purchasers liquidated damages equal to 1.5% per month (pro-rated on a daily basis for any period of less than a full month) of the aggregate purchase price of the units purchased until the use of the registration statement is no longer suspended, not to exceed 5% of the aggregate purchase price. As of December 31, 2014, and through the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded that it is probable that damages will become due; therefore, no accrual for damages has been recorded. Additionally, in connection with registered offerings of common stock and warrants during 2013, the Company has entered into certain securities purchase agreements which require the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the applicable registration statements effective for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued in the offering as long as the warrants remain outstanding.
