NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Second Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan
Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company granted stock-based options to certain employees.
The Company recognized stock compensation expenses related to stock option awards of $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to service-based option awards that will be recognized over the remaining service period of approximately 1.7 years, and there was approximately $0.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to market-based stock option awards that will be recognized over the remaining derived service period of 0.2 years.
Stock Purchase Warrants and Call Option
Total warrants issued as of September 30, 2024 related to Amendments No. 10 through 17 of the Senior Credit Agreement were 41,191,176. Each new warrant is issued commensurate with each cash draw from the Senior Credit Agreement. Therefore, the fair value of these warrants are determined on the date of the draw. As of September 30, 2024, if in-the-money warrants are exercised for cash, the Company will receive $3.1 million. The following table is a summary of the ranges used in the inputs of the Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions related to the warrants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
EM Settlement Agreement
In accordance with the EM Settlement Agreement entered on June 25, 2024, all warrants held by Exxon exercisable for common shares of the Company and its SusOils subsidiary were cancelled (see Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies). The settlement of the warrants held by ExxonMobil Renewables exercisable for common shares of the Company resulted in a reduction to additional paid-in capital in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.9 million.
The settlement of warrants in the Company’s SusOils subsidiary (the “SusOils Warrants”) resulted in a reduction to the non-controlling interest associated with SusOils of approximately $15.0 million. The amount of the settlement payment allocated to the settlement of the SusOils Warrants was approximately $3.0 million. The $12.0 million difference between the carrying amount of the SusOils Warrants on June 25, 2024 and the amount of the settlement payment allocated to the settlement of the SusOils Warrants was recognized as an increase to additional paid in capital.
