Legacy Airspan Warrants

 

The Company accounted for Legacy Airspan convertible preferred stock warrants that have been earned and are exercisable into shares of Legacy Airspan’s convertible preferred stock as liabilities pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” as the warrants were exercisable into shares of Legacy Airspan convertible preferred stock that were contingently redeemable upon events outside the control of Legacy Airspan. The warrant liability is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrants are remeasured and recognized at fair value at each balance sheet date. At the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as a component of other expense, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

In January 2021 and February 2021, Legacy Airspan issued warrants for the purchase of 6,097 and 406, respectively, shares of Legacy Airspan Series H Convertible Preferred Stock to certain holders of Legacy Airspan Series H Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (one warrant for every two shares of Legacy Airspan Series H Senior Convertible Preferred Stock purchased in January and February 2021, respectively) with an exercise price of $61.50 per share and a 5-year term (“Series H warrants”). Legacy Airspan accounted for the initial fair value of the Series H warrants as a discount on the Legacy Airspan Series H Senior Convertible Preferred Stock issuance and recorded a corresponding warrant liability.

 

In October 2015, Legacy Airspan issued warrants to purchase 487,805 shares of Legacy Airspan Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to holders of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with an exercise price of $61.50 per share, subject to certain performance requirements (the “Series D-1 Warrants”). In June 2014, Legacy Airspan issued warrants to purchase 203,252 shares of Legacy Airspan Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to holders of Legacy Airspan Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with an exercise price of $61.50 per share, subject to certain performance requirements (the “Series D Warrants”).

 

The Series D Warrants expired unexercised in January 2021 and the Series D-1 Warrants and Series H warrants were converted as part of the Closing of the Business Combination (Note 3) and ceased to exist after the Business Combination.

 

Common Stock Warrants

 

As of March 31, 2022, there are 12,045,000 Common Stock Warrants outstanding, consisting of 11,500,000 and 545,000 Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, respectively.

 

As part of NBA’s initial public offering, 11,500,000 Public Warrants were sold. The Public Warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Public Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will expire on August 13, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants when exercisable, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, so long as the Company provides not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

Simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering, NBA consummated a private placement of 545,000 Private Placement Warrants with its sponsor. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that, so long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the initial purchaser or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants: (1) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis; (2) may not be transferred, assigned or sold until thirty (30) days after the date of the Closing; and (3) may not be redeemed.
