As of both December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s available-for-sale investments were due in one year or less.

The Company received no proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities for both of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, with no realized gain for both of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The basis on which the cost of the security sold was determined is by specific share identification.

Contingent Value Right and Common Stock Warrant Valuation

On June 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Convertible Secured Contingent Value Right Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”), as further described in Note 8, “Borrowing Arrangements

and Debt Extinguishment.” ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires the Conversion Right, as defined in the CVR Agreement, and Contingent Value Right, as defined in the CVR Agreement, to be accounted for as liabilities and changes to their fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Conversion Right and Contingent Value Right liability will be remeasured each reporting period. The Company utilized a probability weighted expected return method to value the Conversion Right and Contingent Value Right liability (collectively, the “CVR”). The CVR was split into two components: (a) the Conversion Right of the holder to convert $3.0 million of the Remaining Value into shares and (b) the Contingent Value Right liability. Various payoff scenarios were projected and weighted to determine the payoff of the CVR. Within each scenario, the stock price at each event was forecasted to determine if K2VH would convert $3.0 million of the Remaining Value, as defined below, into shares of the Company’s common stock. If K2HV elected to convert any amount up to $3.0 million into shares of the Company’s common stock, then the value of the Conversion Right was the expected stock price times the number of conversion shares; otherwise, the value was determined to be zero. The Contingent Value Right liability component was calculated as the Remaining Value less $3.0 million conversion amount if converted at the time of the event, discounted back to present value. As of June 16, 2023, the value of the Conversion Right and Contingent Value Right liability were calculated within each scenario and probability weighted to derive the total fair value of the Conversion Right and the Contingent Value Right liability was $3.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Conversion Right and the Contingent Value Right liability was $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the change in fair value related to the Conversion Right and Contingent Value Right liability was $1.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial liabilities (convertible secured contingent value right) at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

In satisfaction of its obligations to issue the warrant to K2HV’s affiliated holder pursuant to the CVR Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 340,222 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.8785 per share. The warrant has a term of 10 years. The Company accounted for its common stock warrants under the guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” that clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The warrants were classified as equity and were fair valued as the date of the transaction. The fair value of these warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following key inputs:

On June 16, 2023, the Company determined the fair value of the warrants to be $2.3 million and classified that amount to additional paid in capital.
