Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity
 
Stock Offering
 
On January 9, 2018, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, acting as sole book-running manager (the “Underwriter”), for a secondary public offering (the “Offering”) of a combination of 2,150,000 [113,158] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, and 1,935,000 [101,842] warrants to purchase 1,935,000 [101,842] shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). Each share of common stock was sold in combination with a warrant to purchase 0.90 [0.05] shares of common stock. The Warrants have a five-year term and an original exercise price of $1.10 [$20.90] per share.
  
The warrants have a price adjustment provision (“ratchet”) in cases where the Company sells common stock or settles liabilities with equity, at a lower price than is reflected in the Warrants. During June, July and August, the Company completed qualifying transactions under the SCWorx note resulting in the Warrant exercise price being adjusted to $0.31 [$5.89] in June and $0.29 [$5.51] in July, which is the lowest amount the warrant can be repriced to. Based upon ASU 2017-11, the decrease in the exercise price of the warrant has been fair valued at approximately $190,000 and accounted for as a non-cash dividend within the consolidated balance sheet. The warrant also has a provision requiring the Company to pay the warrant holders the Black-Scholes value of the warrant upon consummation of a fundamental transaction. On August 20, 2018, the Company entered a stock exchange agreement with SCWorx which, upon closing, meets this definition. For illustration purposes only, the stock price at closing
was $4.40, the Black-Scholes value was approximately $2.68 per share. As of the date this filing, there were approximately 1,060,000 [56,000] warrants outstanding which are subject to this Black-Scholes payout provision.
 
The Offering price was $1.00 [$19.00] per share of Common Stock and related Warrant and the Underwriter had agreed to purchase the shares of Common Stock and related Warrants from the Company at a 7.0% discount to the Offering price. In addition, the Company granted to the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 322,500 [16,974] shares of Common Stock and/or 290,250 [15,276] Warrants to purchase 290,250 [15,276] shares of Common Stock at the same price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter exercised this option is February 2018 resulting in an additional $50,000 from the sale and issuance of 50,000 [2,632] shares and 272,500 [14,342] warrants. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
 
The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering and overallotment were approximately $2.2 million before underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
 
The Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2017 and a prospectus supplement, dated January 9, 2018, together with the accompanying base prospectus.
 
One of our former board members, Joseph Gamberale, participated in the offering and acquired 25,000 [1,316] units which included 22,500 [1,184] warrants.
 
Common Stock Private Placements
 
In July 2017, the board of directors approved the issuance of up to $2.5 million of our common stock in one or more private placements.
 
In July 2017, Board members and an employee executed subscription agreements for 513,761 [27,040] units at a purchase price of $1.09 [$20.71] per unit. In August 2017, the Company determined that the amount raised through such sales was insufficient to meet its current needs, and accordingly solicited subscription agreements from third parties for 965,000 [50,789] units at $1.00 [$19.00] per unit. Each unit sold in these placements consists of one restricted share of AMMA common stock and a warrant to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 [$28.50] per share. The Company issued all 1,478,761 [77,830] shares of common stock sold in these placements on August 29, 2017.
 
In October and November 2017, the Company solicited subscription agreements from third parties for 390,000 [20,526] units at $1.25 [$23.75] per unit. Each unit sold in the placement consists of one restricted share of AMMA common stock and a warrant to acquire one half a share of common stock, 195,000 [10,263] shares in total, at an exercise price of $1.75 [$33.25] per share.
 
The warrant issued with the October common stock placement included a price ratchet provision for cases where the Company sells common stock or settles liabilities with equity, at a lower price than is reflected in the warrants. The Company completed a transaction which resulted in the warrant exercise price being adjusted to $1.10 [$20.90]. Based upon ASU 2017-11, the decrease in the exercise price of the warrant has been fair valued at approximately $10,000 and accounted for as a non-cash dividend within the consolidated balance sheet. There is no further reduction to the exercise price as this provision has expired.
 
Common Stock Grant
 
In February 2017, the Company entered a consulting arrangement with DC Consulting for management consulting services with a term of one year and included the grant of 150,000 [7,895] shares subject to board of director approval. In July 2017, the Company issued the 150,000
