On May 29, 2020, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) relating to our common shares. Under the Sales Agreement, as amended, we may, from time to time, issue and sell common shares at market prices on the NYSE American or other U.S. market through agents for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $100 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold 4,425,809 common shares through its At Market facility for $7.0 million. After issue costs of $0.2 million, net proceeds to the Company were $6.8 million. The Company also received $0.3 million from the exercise of 413,030 warrants for 206,515 underlying common shares, and $1.4 million from the exercise of 2,225,098 stock options. The Company also issued 241,857 common shares for released RSUs.

Stock options

In 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company’s stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). The Option Plan was most recently approved by the shareholders on June 2, 2023. Eligible participants under the Option Plan include directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. Under the terms of the Option Plan, grants of options will vest over a three-year period: one-third on the first anniversary, one-third on the second anniversary, and one-third on the third anniversary of the grant. The term of the options is five years.

Activity with respect to stock options outstanding is summarized as follows:

​

​

The exercise price of a new grant is set at the closing price for the stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date so there is no intrinsic value as of the date of grant.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We received $1.3 million and $1.4 million from options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense from stock options was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $2.2 million unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to the Option Plan. The expenses are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.4 years under the Option Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, exercisable, and vested and exercisable is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the Company’s shares.

​

As of December 31, 2024, outstanding stock options were as follows:

​

​

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value for stock options, with an exercise price less than the Company’s TSX closing stock price of CAD$1.64 (approximately US$1.15) as of the last trading day in the year ended December 31, 2024, that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. There were 4,949,351 in-the-money stock options outstanding and 4,191,353 in-the-money stock options exercisable as of December 31, 2024.

The fair value of the options on their respective grant dates was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

​

​

Liability-classified stock options

As discussed in note 2, U.S. based employees’ stock options previously classified as equity were reclassified as liabilities. The affected options were remeasured and had a value of $2.5 million as of July 29, 2024 and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

The fair value of the liability-classified options on their respective grant dates for the year ended December 31, 2024 after the revaluation on July 29, 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

A summary of the liability-classified option activity for the year ended December 31, 2024 is shown in the following table:

Restricted share units

On June 24, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s restricted share unit plan (the “RSU Plan”). Amendments to the RSU Plan were approved by our shareholders on June 3, 2021, and the plan is now known as the Amended and Restated Restricted Share Unit and Equity Incentive Plan (the “RSU&EI Plan”). The RSU&EI Plan was approved most recently by our shareholders on June 2, 2022.

Eligible participants under the RSU&EI Plan include directors and employees of the Company. Granted RSUs are redeemed on the second anniversary of the grant. Upon an RSU vesting, the holder of the RSU will receive one common share, for no additional consideration, for each RSU held. Activity with respect to RSUs outstanding is summarized as follows:

​

​

Stock-based compensation expense from RSUs was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023,  respectively.  The total fair value of RSUs vested was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, there was approximately $1.0 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to the RSU&EI Plan. The expenses are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of 1.7 years under the RSU&EI Plan.

As of December 31, 2024, outstanding RSUs were as follows:

The fair value of restricted share units on their respective grant dates was determined using the fair value model with the following assumptions:

Activity with respect to warrants outstanding is summarized as follows:

​

​

We received $11.1 million and $0.3 million from warrants exercised in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding warrants were as follows:

The fair value of the warrants on their respective issue dates was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

Fair value calculations of stock options, restricted share units, and warrants

The Company estimates expected future volatility based on daily historical trading data of the Company’s common shares. The risk-free interest rates are determined by reference to Canadian Benchmark Bond Yield rates with maturities that approximate the expected life. The Company has never paid dividends and currently has no plans to do so. Forfeitures and expected lives were estimated based on actual historical experience.

Share-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted share units is recognized net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures, which results in expensing the awards that are ultimately expected to vest over the expected life.
