| Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock | Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock On August 11, 2023 (the “Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date”), the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Series A Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement”) with Volition Capital Fund IV, L.P. (“Volition”) where the Company received gross proceeds of $10.0 million in exchange for 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), the issuance of a warrant to purchase
1,579,778 shares of Grove’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $6.33 per share (the “Volition Warrant”) and the issuance of a separate warrant to Volition to purchase 20,905 shares of Grove’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Volition Penny Warrant”). The Volition Warrant and the Volition Penny Warrant each had expiration dates dated on the three-year anniversary of the Redeemable Preferred Stock Closing Date and became exercisable six months following the Redeemable Preferred Stock Closing Date. The Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable, at the option of the holder, for the original issuance price plus any declared but unpaid dividends following the seventh anniversary of the Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date (“Optional Redemption”).
The Company allocated the proceeds received on the Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date to the Series A Preferred Stock, Volition Warrant and Volition Penny Warrant (together the “Volition Warrants”) on a relative fair value basis. The aggregate fair value of the Volition Warrants was $0.7 million and determined using a Black-Scholes Model with the following inputs:
On the Series A Preferred Stock Closing Date, The Company allocated $0.3 million of transaction costs to the Series A preferred stock and nominal transaction costs to the Volition Warrants.
On September 20, 2024, (the “Series A’ Preferred Stock Closing Date”), the Company entered into another subscription agreement (the “Series A’ Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement”) with Volition where the Company received gross proceeds of $15.0 million in exchange for 15,000 shares of the Company’s Series A' Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A’ Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). In connection with the issuance of the Series A’ Preferred Stock, Volition and the Company agreed to cancel the Volition Warrants, cancel the Volition Penny Warrants and modified the redemption terms of the Series A Preferred Stock such that the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer subject to Optional Redemption,.
The Company concluded that the issuance of the Series A’ Preferred Stock, modification of terms to the Series A Preferred Stock, cancellation of the Volition Warrant and cancellation of the Volition Penny Warrant should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for new instruments. As such, the Company derecognized the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock and Volition Warrants and recorded both series of the Preferred Stock at their fair values. On the Series A’ Preferred Stock Closing Date, the Company recorded $0.5 million of transaction costs against the proceeds received for the Series A’ Preferred Stock.
