Note 14 - Stockholders’ deficit
 
As a result of the reverse acquisition of Better Choice Company and Bona Vida by TruPet in May 2019, the historical TruPet members’ equity (units and incentive units) have been re-cast to reflect the equivalent Better Choice common stock for all periods presented after the transaction. Prior to the transaction in May 2019, TruPet was a limited liability company and as such, the concept of authorized shares was not relevant.
 
A summary of equity transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is set forth below:

On February 12, 2019, the Company issued 69,115 Series A Preferred Units in a private placement at $2.17 per unit. The proceeds were approximately $0.2 million, net of share issuance costs. On May 6, 2019, all Series A Preferred Shares were converted to 2,460,518 shares of common stock.
 
On May 6, 2019, the Company acquired 1,011,748 shares of common stock valued at $6.1 million representing its initial 7% investment in TruPet. These shares are recorded as an acquisition of treasury shares.
 
On May 6, 2019, the Company issued 5,744,991 million units for gross proceeds of $3.00 per unit in a PIPE transaction.  Each unit included one share of common stock of Better Choice Company stock and a warrant to purchase an additional share.  The shares issued in the PIPE are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 144 restrictions which require the purchasers of the PIPE units to hold the shares for at least 6 months from the date of issuance. The funds raised from the PIPE were used to fund the operations of the combined company. Net proceeds of $15.7 million were received in the private placement, allocable between shares of common stock and warrants.

On May 6, 2019, the Company acquired 2,633,678 outstanding shares of Series E, which represented an element of the purchase price and were recorded at fair value (on an as converted into common stock basis) based on the $6.00 per share closing price of Better Choice Company’s shares of common stock as they remained outstanding after the reverse acquisitions discussed in “Note 2 - Acquisitions” above. The Series E has a stated value of $0.99 per share; is convertible to common stock at a price of $0.78 per share.
 
On May 10, 2019 and May 13, 2019, holders of the Company’s Series E converted 689,394 and 236,364 preferred shares into 875,000 and 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Pursuant to the employment agreement of an officer with Bona Vida dated October 29, 2018, the officer was entitled to a $500,000 change of control payment. The officer later agreed to receive 100,000 shares of Better Choice Company common stock. The 100,000 shares of common stock were valued at $6.00 per share, which was the market value as of the date of the May Acquisitions.
 
On January 2, 2020, the Company issued 308,642 shares of common stock to an investor for net proceeds of $0.5 million, net of issuance costs of less than $0.1 million.
 
On January 13, 2020, the Company issued 72,720 shares of common stock to ABG in connection with the termination of a licensing agreement discussed in “Note 9 – Intangible assets, royalties and goodwill”.
 
On March 3, 2020, the Company issued 450,000 shares of restricted common stock to three nonemployee directors in return for services provided in their capacity as directors.
 
On March 5, 2020, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock for advertising services.

On September 17, 2019, a Company advisor was issued 2,500,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.10 and 1,500,000 warrants with an exercise price of $10.00. The warrants were exercisable as follows: 1,250,000 of the warrants with the $0.10 exercise price (the “Tranche 1 Warrants”) were exercisable on the earlier of the twelve- month anniversary of the issuance date or immediately prior to a change in control subject to the advisor’s continued service to the Company; the remaining 1,250,000 of the warrants with the $0.10 exercise price (the “Tranche 2 Warrants”) and the 1,500,000 warrants with the $10.00 exercise price (the Tranche 3 Warrants) were exercisable on the earlier of the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date or immediately prior to a change in control subject to the advisor’s continued service to the Company.
 
On June 1, 2020, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with the advisor. Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Tranche 1 Warrants were amended to reduce the number of shares of common stock purchasable thereunder to 1,041,666 shares, and the Tranche 2 Warrants and Tranche 3 Warrants were cancelled. The Tranche 1 Warrants (as amended pursuant to the Termination Agreement) were fully vested as of the date of the termination of the agreement and will remain exercisable until September 17, 2029. Furthermore, if the Company engages in any restricted business line as defined in the Termination Agreement, the Company will issue to the former advisor additional shares of common stock based on formulas intended to compensate the former advisor for the warrants that were reduced or terminated.
