Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, there were 26,805,474 shares and 22,257,772 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.

In addition to the CEO Awards, as defined below, as contemplated by the Bachmann Employment Agreement (as defined below) and as an inducement to employment, effective as of July 10, 2023, the Company issued the CEO 63,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, which such shares are subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, there were 2,120,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding.

On February 24, 2023, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of designation, (the “A&R CoD”), which among other matters, added a provision providing that in the event the Company fails to timely redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock on November 3, 2027, the applicable dividend rate shall automatically increase to the lesser of (A) the sum of 10% plus the 2% applicable default rate (with such aggregate rate increasing by an additional 0.35% per quarter from and after November 3, 2027), or (B) the maximum rate that may be applied under applicable law, unless waived in writing by a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock.

The A&R CoD also added a provision providing that in the event the Company fails to timely redeem any shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock in connection with a Qualified Financing (as defined in the A&R CoD) on November 3, 2027 (a “Default”), the Company agrees to promptly commence a debt or equity financing transaction or sale process to solicit proposals for the sale of the Company and its subsidiaries (or, alternatively, the sale of material assets) designed to yield the maximum cash proceeds to the Company available for redemption of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock as promptly as practicable, but in any event, within 12 months from the date of the Default. If on or after November 3, 2026, the Company is aware that it is reasonably unlikely to have sufficient cash to timely effect the redemption in full of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock when first due, the Company shall, prior to such anticipated due date, take reasonable steps to engage an investment banking firm of national standing (and other appropriate professionals) to conduct preparatory work for such a financing transaction and sale process of the Company and its subsidiaries to provide for such transaction to occur as promptly as possible after any failure for a timely redemption of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock.

The Series A Junior Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock and may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time and must be redeemed by the Company in limited circumstances. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall not have voting rights or conversion rights.
Warrants and Options

As of October 2, 2023, the Company had the following warrants and options outstanding: 15,063,800 warrants outstanding, each exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 including 11,468,800 in public warrants, 3,000,000 in private placement warrants (“private warrants”), 445,000 in Private Warrants and 150,000 in Working Capital Warrants, and 75,000 Unit Purchase Option units that are each exercisable for (i) one share of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 and (i) one warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The public warrants expire in December 2025.

Warrant Liability

The Company has private warrants, which include provisions that affect the settlement amount. Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, with changes in fair value included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The warrant liability was $0.4 million and $0.2 million at October 2, 2023 and January 2, 2023, respectively, and is included in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2023 resulted in a gain of $0.2 million and a loss of $0.2 million, respectively, and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The gain on change in the fair value of warrant liabilities for the quarter and nine months ended October 3, 2022 was $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and is recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following is an analysis of changes in the warrant liability:

(in thousands)
Warrant liability at January 2, 2023 $ 195 
Loss during the period 167 
Warrant liability at October 2, 2023
$ 362 

The fair value of the warrants are determined using the publicly-traded price of our common stock on the valuation dates of $1.14 on October 2, 2023 and $1.26 on January 2, 2023. See Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements.”
