NOTE 5 – ISSUANCE OF EQUITY INTERESTS On June 23, 2021, Acurx Pharmaceuticals, LLC was converted into a corporation and renamed Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes 200,000,000 shares of common stock of which 10,263,202 were outstanding as of March 31, 2022. On June 29, 2021, the Company completed an IPO issuing 2,875,000 shares of common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $14.8 million, with cash issuance costs of approximately $2.4 million. The outstanding Class A and Class B Membership Interests were converted to shares of common stock pursuant to a conversion ratio of one-for-two of the Membership Interests outstanding, resulting in the conversion of 14,082,318 Class A and Class B Membership Interests into 7,041,208 shares of common stock. Warrants to purchase Class A Membership Interests were converted to warrants to purchase common stock at the same one-for two conversion ratio, resulting in 1,437,577 warrants to purchase common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.88.
In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 150,000 warrants to the underwriter. Each warrant is exercisable for years from December 21, 2021 at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to calculate the value of the warrants with an estimated fair value of $618,000. The inputs utilized in the calculation were as follows: term, 0.79% risk-free rate, stock price at grant date of $6.26, and a 94% volatility utilizing comparable companies. This amount was recorded as both an increase to additional paid-in capital and as a non-cash issuance cost of the offering.
