Common Stock Warrant Valuation

The Company accounts for certain of its common stock warrants under guidance in ASC 480 that clarifies the determination of whether an instrument is classified as a liability or equity. Due to change in control provisions outside of the Company’s control in the warrant agreement, the guidance requires the Company’s outstanding warrants to be classified as liabilities and to be fair valued at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The following table is a reconciliation of the warrant liability measured at fair value using level 3 inputs (in thousands):

At September 30, 2017, the Company had warrants outstanding (“2017 Warrants”) to purchase 377,273 shares of common stock, having an exercise price of $39.82 per share, that were previously issued by Threshold, and which were recorded by Molecular as a liability as part of the Merger transaction.  

At December 31, 2016, the Company had warrants outstanding (“2014 Warrants”) to purchase  48,874 shares of preferred stock, having an exercise price of $3.07 per share, which were issued by Molecular as part of the loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). These warrants were converted into common stock at the closing of the Merger. Refer to Note 8, Borrowing Arrangements, for further details about the SVB loan and security agreement.

The fair value of these warrants on September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was determined using a Black-Scholes model with the following key level 3 inputs:

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 the change in fair value of $272,000 of noncash expense related to the warrants was recorded as Change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
