Issuances for Cash

 

In August 2018, MJF issued 4,115,042 Series C Preferred Units (1,099,376 shares of common stock after retroactively applying the exchange ratio) for cash consideration of $10,000,000. Following the Mergers, all the Units were converted into Akerna's common stock.

 

Restricted Shares

 

Prior to the Mergers, MJF had in place a Profit Interest Incentive Plan (the "Profits Interest Plan") whereby it could grant profit interest units ("PIUs") to employees or consultants and other independent advisors of the Company. PIUs granted under the Profits Interest Plan would generally vest once a year over four years commencing on the date granted, or based on specified performance targets. MJF had the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase vested PIUs from holders upon their termination of employment. Unvested PIUs were to be forfeited upon termination of employment. If the holder was terminated for cause, as defined, all vested and unvested units would be forfeited. PIUs repurchased or canceled or forfeited by the award recipient were available for reissuance. Upon completion of the Mergers in June 2019, the non-vested PIUs were exchanged for restricted shares of common stock ("Restricted Shares") subject to restricted stock agreements with varying vesting terms that reflect the vesting conditions applicable to PIUs of the applicable MJF equity holders at the time of the Mergers.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, 185,324 PIUs were granted (which were exchanged for 49,519 Restricted Shares in the Mergers) and 30,000 PIUs (which would equate to 8,016 Restricted Shares after applying the exchange ratio) were forfeited.

 

At September 30, 2019, there were 498,147 Restricted Shares outstanding, of which 215,063 were vested. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, no Restricted Shares were forfeited.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, stock-based compensation expense related to the ratable amortization of the unvested Restricted Shares was $161,165. Approximately $2.6 million of total unrecognized costs related to Restricted Shares will be ratably recognized over an estimated weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.17 years.
