Public Warrants – We assumed 8,624,991 Public Warrants on September 9, 2022 which remained outstanding as of June 30, 2024. For every 36 Public Warrants, the holder is entitled to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50, subject to adjustment. However, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless we have an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 120 days of September 9, 2022, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise, subject to the terms of the governing warrant agreement, Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Public Warrants expire on September 9, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Our Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “KITTW”.
We may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:
•at any time after the Public Warrants become exercisable,
•upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,
•if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (subject to adjustment for splits, dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events), for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and
•if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, we have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”
The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
The Public Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were valued as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 at $258,750 and $451,088, respectively, based on their publicly-traded price. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported a loss in value of the Public Warrants of $6,900 and $35,241, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, a gain in value of the Public Warrants of $192,338 and $354,488, respectively. The change in fair value of the Public Warrants was reported within other (income) expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Private Warrants – We assumed 7,175,000 Private Warrants, which are not publicly traded, on September 9, 2022. These remained outstanding as of June 30, 2024. For every 36 Private Warrants, the holder is entitled to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 and is identical in all material respects to the Public Warrants except that the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and will not be redeemable by us, in each case so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates. The Private Warrants purchased by CleanTech Investments, LLC are not exercisable after July 14, 2026, as long as Chardan Capital Markets, LLC or any of its related persons beneficially own these Private Warrants.
The Private Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were valued as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 at $224,862 and $380,531, respectively. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: stock price of $0.14, no assumed dividends, a risk-free rate of 4.50%, implied volatility of 143.0%, and a remaining term of 3.19 years. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported a loss in value of the Private Warrants of $12,386.

SPA Warrants – On September 9, 2022 and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued an aggregate 2,922,425 Original SPA Warrants, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, to the SPA Parties. Upon issuance, each whole Original SPA Warrant was exercisable over its 10-year term for one share of Common Stock at a price of $20.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments including full ratchet anti-dilution price protections.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the SPA Parties entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2022 (the “RRA”), pursuant to which the Company and the SPA
Parties agreed to certain requirements and conditions covering the resale by the SPA Parties of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures and Original SPA Warrants. Under the terms of the RRA, the Company was required to (i) file a registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering such underlying shares within 15 business days of the Closing and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date (as defined in the RRA) (the “Registration Requirements”). The RRA additionally provided for liquidated damages if the Registration Requirements were not met.
On June 22, 2023, the Company and the SPA Parties entered into the first amendment to the RRA (the “RRA Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to deliver to the SPA Parties an aggregate 1,890,066 shares of Common Stock at an agreed upon price of $2.286, on a Pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (the “RRA Amendment Shares”) in exchange for the waiver and release by the SPA Parties of any and all claims, remedies, causes of action and any other Initial Effectiveness Date Claims (as defined in the RRA Amendment) under any of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the RRA), including all past and future claims for liquidated damages under the RRA with respect to, and any other amounts that may be payable by reason of or otherwise relating to, the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the RRA) of the Initial Registration Statement.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company issued 1,890,066 shares of Common Stock, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, as payment for liquidated damages and interest of $4,320,690, and the damages and interest were recorded under interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The settlement date of the liquidated damages occurred August 3, 2023, with a closing price of $1.95, with the change in the agreed upon price of $2.286 to settlement resulting in a gain of $635,061, which was also included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Pursuant to the RRA Amendment, the Company also agreed to file a registration statement for the registration and resale of the RRA Amendment Shares by the SPA Parties and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with the terms of the RRA, as amended by the RRA Amendment. The registration statement was filed on August 7, 2023 and was declared effective on September 12, 2023.
On June 22, 2023, we entered into the Letter Agreements with the SPA Parties (the “Letter Agreements”), pursuant to which the SPA Parties (also being the holders of the Original SPA Warrants) agreed to amend the exercise price of the Original SPA Warrants, which, since issuance, had been exercisable to purchase an aggregate 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to (i) lower the exercise price of the Original SPA Warrants to a weighted average of $3.28 per share, with multiple tranches priced between $2.04 and $4.64 per share, and (ii) upon the SPA Parties’ exercise of the Amended SPA Warrants, issue New SPA Warrants to the SPA Parties to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis.
During any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Amended SPA Warrants, the registered holder may exercise its Amended SPA Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
On June 23, 2023, pursuant to its Letter Agreement with the Company, ATW I exercised 165,713 Amended SPA Warrants, pursuant to which 165,713 shares of Common Stock, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (4,603 shares of Common Stock post Reverse Stock Split) and 165,713 New SPA Warrants were issued to ATW by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement. The Company received proceeds of $338,055 from the warrants exercised by ATW.
On September 18, 2023, the Company entered into a convertible senior secured term loan agreement convertible at $6.00 per share. Based on the letter agreement, SPA warrants holders who exchange through March 1, 2024, the exercise price was reset from $20.00 to $6.00 a warrant pursuant to the full-ratchet provision. The exchange warrants were reset to $6.00 with a factor of 3.3333, increasing the number of warrants to 552,377, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis.
The New SPA Warrants will be (and, with respect to those already issued, are) substantially in the form of the Amended SPA Warrants as described above except that the New SPA Warrants (i) have an exercise price of $20.00 per share (including, for purposes of clarification, full-ratchet anti-dilution on the exercise price and number of underlying shares
issuable based on the aggregate exercise price using $20.00 as the base exercise price), (ii) are immediately exercisable upon issuance, and (iii) are exercisable until September 9, 2032.
If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New SPA Warrants is not effective 60 days after March 1, 2024 (or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, 120 days after March 1, 2024), upon the registered holder’s election to exercise its New SPA Warrants, the registered holder may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise its New SPA Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
On December 31, 2023, the Company and ATW I, as the purchaser, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "PIPE SPA"), pursuant to which the purchaser agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $5,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a $2 per share purchase price on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis. Based on the PIPE SPA, the exercise price of the SPA Warrants was reset from $6.00 to $2.00.
In March 2024, ATW I exercised 5,700,000, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (158,334 post Reverse Stock Split) SPA Warrants in exchange for Common Stock. The Company did not receive cash in respect of this transaction.

Unless context otherwise requires, the term “SPA Warrants” means (i) before the entry into the Letter Agreements, the Original SPA Warrants, and (ii) upon and following the entry into the Letter Agreements, (a) the Amended SPA Warrants, and (b) the New SPA Warrants. The SPA Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were valued as of June 30, 2024, at $709,081 and as of December 31, 2023 at $17,544,561. The fair value of the SPA Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: stock price of $0.14, no assumed dividends, implied volatility of 143.0%, and a remaining term of 8.25 years. The change in value of the SPA Warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was a gain of $4,441,987 and $12,384,317, respectively.
