Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Note C – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue and other current liabilities are reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts that approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as it is based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate.

Committed Equity Facility
On April 14, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital, LLC (“B. Riley”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct B. Riley to purchase a specified amount of shares (each, a “Purchase”) over the 24-month period from Commencement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Shares issued to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement cannot exceed 19.99% of the shares outstanding prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the number of shares eligible to be purchased by B. Riley in a single Purchase may not exceed the lesser of (i) 50% of the Purchase Volume Reference Amount, defined as the total aggregate volume of the Company’s shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during ten consecutive trading days prior to the Purchase date divided by ten, and (ii) 20% of the total number of the Company’s shares traded on the NYSE during the intraday purchase period, which is determined by the trading day on which B. Riley receives a valid purchase notice from the Company.

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into with B. Riley, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 22, 2022, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 on Form S-3 filed on June 8, 2023, which registered an initial 9,000,000 shares of common stock to permit the subsequent resale of shares purchased under the committed equity facility.

The Company controls the timing and amount of any sales to B. Riley, which depend on a variety of factors including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and determinations by the Company as to appropriate sources of funding for its business and operations. However, B. Riley’s obligation to purchase shares is subject to certain conditions.
In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in B. Riley beneficially owning more than 4.99% of its common stock at any one point in time.

At inception, the Company evaluated the Purchase Agreement with B. Riley and determined that the committed equity facility was not indexed to the Company’s own common stock and, therefore, measures the derivative asset at fair value based on the consideration transferred to B. Riley in exchange for its irrevocable commitment to purchase up to $80.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative asset are dependent upon, among other things, changes in the closing share price of the Company’s common stock, the quantity and purchase price of shares purchased by B. Riley during the reporting period, the unused capacity under the committed equity facility as of the balance sheet date and the cost of raising other forms of capital. As certain inputs are not observable in the market, the derivative asset is classified as a Level 3 instrument within the fair value hierarchy. The Company adjusts the previous fair value estimate of the committed equity facility at each reporting period based on changes in the weighted average purchase price of shares purchased by B. Riley during the period, the unused capacity available under the committed equity facility, expected stock price volatility and other macroeconomic factors which impact the cost of raising comparable forms of capital. On April 14, 2024, the Purchase Agreement with B. Riley expired in accordance with its terms and was not extended. As a result, the Company no longer recognized a derivative asset related to the committed equity facility as of June 30, 2024.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for each share of common stock is equal to 97% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the applicable purchase date, which results in a 3% fee on the purchase of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not sell shares to B. Riley during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Private Warrants
In September 2021, the Company issued 7,732,168 private warrants in a transaction exempt from registration under securities regulations. The warrants, which are not listed for trading on a stock exchange, entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants will expire on September 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private warrants were established as a liability at issuance. Classification of the private warrants as liability instruments was based on an analysis of the guidance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in a statement issued by the Staff of the SEC regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.” The Company considered whether the private warrants display the three characteristics of a derivative, and concluded the private warrants meet the definition of a derivative. However, the private warrants fail to meet the equity scope exception and thus are classified as a liability measured at fair value, subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. The changes in fair value of the private warrant liability were an increase of $9.0 million and a decrease of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an increase of $10.1 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These changes in fair value are recognized as other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The private warrants were valued using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“OPM”). As certain inputs are not observable in the market, the private warrants are classified as Level 3 instruments within the fair value hierarchy. The table below presents the fair value per warrant and the valuation assumptions under the Black-Scholes OPM:
