Amendment No. 1
This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to provide the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above-referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement involving the election of directors if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year end. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to include Part III information in our Original Filing because we will not file our definitive proxy statement containing this information before that date.
In addition, pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, we have also included as exhibits currently dated certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. Except as otherwise explicitly stated herein, this Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Filing. The filing of this Amendment No. 1 is not a representation that any statements contained in items of our Original Filing other than Items 10 through 14 of Part III and Part IV are true or complete as of any date subsequent to the Original Filing. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the date filed of the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings, as well as our Current Reports on Form 8-K subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.

2018 Debt Restructuring
On January 11, 2018, we entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (“Restructuring Agreement”) with OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP (“Royalty Opportunities”) and ROS Acquisition Offshore LP (“ROS” and together with Royalty Opportunities, the “Investors”) and the other holders of our outstanding 6% convertible unsecured notes due in 2021 (“Notes”) pursuant to which we completed a restructuring. The restructuring involved:
● | the conversion and exchange of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, into newly-issued shares of our common stock; | |
● | the issuance of additional shares of our common stock to OrbiMed and ROS in a private placement; | |
● | a 1-for-12 reverse split of our common stock effected after the close of business on February 13, 2018; | |
● | the election by our stockholders of a new Board of Directors; and | |
● | a rights offering to our stockholders of record as of April 27, 2018. |
The primary purposes of the restructuring were to reform our capital structure, meet our liquidity needs, reposition our Company for long-term growth, and regain compliance with NYSE American LLC (formerly the NYSE MKT) listing standards. In conjunction with the consummation of the restructuring, we regained compliance with NYSE American listing standards on February 15, 2018. Stockholder approval was required under Sections 713(a) and 713(b) of the NYSE American Company Guide to complete the restructuring, which we obtained at a special meeting of stockholders held on February 13, 2018. In addition, at that meeting, our stockholders elected six new directors to serve until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. The directors elected on February 13, 2018 were: John Bakewell, Michael Eggenberg, Michael Mainelli, Robert McNamara, Jeffrey Peters, and Matthew Rizzo. With the exception of Michael Mainelli, each of these directors continues to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. During fiscal 2017 and prior to the election of the six new directors at the special meeting of stockholders held on February 13, 2018, Paul Buckman, John Deedrick, Michael Lopack, Rudy Mazzocchi, Carl O’Connell, Kent Swanson, and Eric Timko served as directors of the Company.

Investor Rights Agreement
Effective February 14, 2018, in connection with the debt restructuring, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Royalty Opportunities, ROS, Park West Investors Master Fund, Limited (“PWIMF”) and Park West Partners International, Limited (“PWPI”). Under the Investor Rights Agreement, ROS and Royalty Opportunities are permitted to nominate a majority of the directors and designate the chairperson of our Board of Directors at subsequent annual meetings, as long as they maintain an ownership threshold in our Company of at least 40% of our then outstanding common stock (the “Ownership Threshold”). If ROS and Royalty Opportunities are unable to maintain the Ownership Threshold, the Investor Rights Agreement contemplates a reduction of nomination rights commensurate with our ownership interests.
For so long as the Ownership Threshold is met, we must obtain the approval of a majority of our common stock held by ROS and Royalty Opportunities to proceed with the following actions: (i) issue new securities; (ii) incur over $250,000 of debt in a fiscal year; (iii) sell or transfer over $250,000 of our assets or businesses or our subsidiaries in a fiscal year; (iv) acquire over $250,000 of assets or properties in a fiscal year; (v) make capital expenditures over $125,000 individually, or $1,500,000 in the aggregate during a fiscal year; (vi) approve our annual budget; (vii) hire or terminate our chief executive officer; (viii) appoint or remove the chairperson of our Board of Directors; and (ix) make, loans to, investments in, or purchase, or permit any subsidiary to purchase, any stock or other securities in another entity in excess of $250,000 in a fiscal year. As long as the Ownership Threshold is met, we may not increase the size of our Board or Directors beyond seven directors without the approval of a majority of the directors nominated by ROS and Royalty Opportunities.
The Investor Rights Agreement grants Royalty Opportunities, ROS, PWPI and PWIMF the right to purchase from us a pro rata amount of any new securities that we may propose to issue and sell. The Investor Rights Agreement may be terminated (a) upon the mutual written agreement of all the parties, (b) upon our written notice, ROS or Royalty Opportunities if ROS and Royalty Opportunities’s ownership percentage of our then outstanding common stock is less than 10%, or (c) upon written notice of ROS and Royalty Opportunities. The right of PWPI and PWIMF to purchase from us a pro rata amount of any new securities will terminate at such time as their aggregate ownership percentage of our then outstanding common stock is less than 8.5%.
Director Independence
The Board has affirmatively determined that the following two Board members are currently “independent directors,” as defined under the independence standards of the NYSE American: John Bakewell and Robert McNamara.
Board Leadership Structure
Under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Investors have the right to designate the Chairman of the Board and have so designated Jeffrey Peters. Accordingly, Mr. Peters serves as Chairman of the Board. We currently do not have a Chief Executive Officer and have commenced a search for a new permanent Chief Executive Officer. In the meantime, Greg Jensen, our Vice President, Finance and Interim Chief Financial Officer has assumed the principal executive officer position. We believe this leadership structure is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and strikes the appropriate balance between the Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility for the strategic direction, day-to day-leadership, and performance of the Company and the Chairman of the Board’s responsibility to guide the overall strategic direction of the Company, provide oversight of our corporate governance and guidance to our Chief Executive Officer, and to set the agenda for and preside over Board meetings. We recognize that different leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations and believe that no one structure is suitable for all companies. We believe that the Company is currently well-served by this leadership structure.

Board Meetings and Attendance
The Board met 15 times during fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2018, all directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and Board committees on which the director served during the last fiscal year.
We do not have a formal policy on Board member attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. All Board members serving at the time of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders attended the annual meeting.
Board Committees
We currently maintain two Board committees, an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. We are a controlled company and have elected not to comply with the NYSE American corporate governance requirements, which require an independent nomination and governance committee and an independent compensation committee. We currently do not maintain a nomination and governance committee. While we maintain a Compensation Committee, it is not independent according to NYSE American corporate governance requirements. Prior to the creation of the Compensation Committee in November 2018, the Audit Committee was our only standing Board committee during fiscal 2018.
The following table summarizes the current membership of each of our two board committees as of April 25, 2019.
Director | Audit Committee | Compensation Committee | ||
John Bakewell | Chair | |||
Michael Eggenberg | ● | |||
Robert McNamara | ● | Chair | ||
Jeffrey Peters | ||||
Matthew Rizzo | ● |
Audit Committee
The organization and primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in its charter, posted on our website at www.xtantmedical.com (click “Investors” and “Corporate Governance”), and include various matters with respect to the oversight of our accounting and financial reporting process and audits of our financial statements. The primary purposes of the Audit Committee include:
● | to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company; | ||
● | to provide assistance to the Board with respect to its oversight of the following: | ||
○ | integrity of the Company’s financial statements and internal controls; | ||
○ | the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; | ||
○ | the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and | ||
○ | the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, if any, and independent registered public accounting firm; and | ||
● | to prepare the report required to be prepared by the Audit Committee pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
The Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Bakewell (Chair) and Mr. McNamara. During fiscal 2018, immediately following the special meeting of stockholders on February 13, 2018, Mr. Bakewell (Chair), Michael Mainelli and Mr. McNamara served on the audit committee. Mr. Mainelli resigned from the Audit Committee in May 2018. Mr. Lopach (Chair), Mr. Buckman and Mr. Mazzocchi served on the Audit Committee from January 2018 to February 13, 2018. The Audit Committee met six times during fiscal 2018.
5 |
Under the NYSE American listing standards, all Audit Committee members must be independent directors and meet heightened independence requirements under the federal securities laws. In addition, all Audit Committee members must be financially literate, and at least one member must be financially sophisticated. Further, under SEC rules, the Board must determine whether at least one member of the Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the SEC’s rules. The Board has determined that both Mr. Bakewell and Mr. McNamara are independent, financially literate, and sophisticated and qualify as “audit committee financial experts” in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
Compensation Committee
In November 2018, the Board created a Compensation Committee to assist the Board with various compensation related matters. The organization and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in its charter, which is posted on our website at www.xtantmedical.com (click “Investors” and “Corporate Governance”). The primary purposes of the Compensation Committee include:
● | recommending to the Board all compensation for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers; | |
● | administering the Company’s equity-based compensation plans; | |
● | reviewing, assessing, and approving overall strategies for attracting, developing, retaining, and motivating Company management and employees; | |
● | overseeing the development and implementation of succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and other key executive officers and employees; | |
● | reviewing, assessing, and approving overall compensation structure on an annual basis; and | |
● | recommending and leading a process for the determination of non-employee director compensation. |
The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. McNamara (Chair), Mr. Eggenberg and Mr. Rizzo. The Compensation Committee did not meet during fiscal 2018.
Director Nomination Process
In identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on the Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Board may take into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity (including, but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity, age, experience, and skills), and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The Company does not have a formal diversity policy for directors. The Board identifies director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources, including Board members, stockholders, management, and third parties. The Board does not distinguish between nominees recommended by our stockholders and those recommended by other parties. Any stockholder recommendation must be sent to our Corporate Secretary at Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc., 664 Cruiser Lane, Belgrade, Montana 59714, and must include certain information concerning the nominee as specified in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we made no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board.
Risk Oversight
The Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight with a focus on the most significant risks facing the Company. The Board relies upon management to supervise day-to-day risk management.
Risk is inherent in every business. We face a number of risks, including regulatory, compliance, legal, competitive, financial (accounting, credit, interest rate, liquidity, and tax), operational, political, strategic, and reputational risks. Our management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks faced by us, while the Board, as a whole and through the Audit Committee, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board ensures that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board oversees risks through the establishment of policies and procedures that are designed to guide daily operations in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and risks acceptable to the Company. The Audit Committee’s role includes a particular focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to stockholders, on our processes for the management of business and financial risks, and for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee, along with management, is also responsible for developing and participating in a process for the review of important financial and operating topics that present potential significant risks to the Company. Management regularly discusses with the Board the strategies and risks facing the Company.

Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers as well as a Code of Conduct that applies to all directors, officers, and employees. Our corporate governance materials, including our Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers and Code of Conduct, are available on our website at www.xtantmedical.com (click “Investors” and “Corporate Governance”).
Stockholder Communications
The Board does not have a formal process for stockholders to send communications to the Board and does not feel that such a process is necessary at this time. If the Company receives stockholder communications that cannot be properly addressed by officers of the Company, the officers bring the matter to the attention of the Board.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 10% of an equity security registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file various reports with the SEC. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the Section 16 reports furnished to us with respect to 2018, we believe all reports required pursuant to Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis, except that each of Michael Eggenberg and Matthew Rizzo filed one late report on Form 4 on February 26, 2018, which reported the exchange and purchase of shares of common stock and the issuance of convertible notes in conjunction with the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement with Royalty Opportunities and ROS.

Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan
In 2018, the Company adopted and stockholders approved the Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and our stockholders by enabling us to attract and retain qualified individuals to perform services, provide incentive compensation for such individuals in a form that is linked to the growth and profitability of our company and increases in stockholder value, and provide opportunities for equity participation that align the interests of recipients with those of our stockholders.
The 2018 Plan replaced the Amended and Restated Xtant Medical Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). However, the terms of the Prior Plan, as applicable, continue to govern awards outstanding under the Prior Plan until exercised, expired, paid, or otherwise terminated or canceled.
The 2018 Plan permits the Board, or a committee or subcommittee thereof, to grant to eligible employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company non-statutory and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, non-employee director awards, and other stock-based awards. Subject to adjustment, the maximum number of shares of our common stock to be authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 1,307,747 shares. The Company has granted stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2018 Plan. As of December 31, 2018, 590,935 shares of Xtant common stock remained available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

To be eligible to receive either of these payments, Mr. O’Connell was required to execute and not revoke a release of claims.

In the event of a change in control, the number of shares scheduled to vest over the next six months would vest immediately.

2018 Debt Restructuring
On January 11, 2018, we entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement with all of the holders of our outstanding 6% convertible unsecured notes due in 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, on January 17, 2018, ROS and OrbiMed converted certain Notes issued to them in January 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $1.627 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at the $0.7589 per share conversion price originally provided thereunder, into 2,275,745 shares of our common stock (or approximately 189,645 shares of our common stock after giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split). On February 14, 2018, following approval by our stockholders and after completion of the 1-for-12 reverse stock split, the remaining $70.238 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by the selling stockholders, plus accrued and unpaid interest, was exchanged for newly-issued shares of our common stock at an exchange rate of 138.8889 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for an exchange price of $7.20 per share (or $0.60 per share on a pre-split basis). Such remaining Notes were exchanged for approximately 10.4 million newly-issued shares of our common stock. Furthermore, on February 14, 2018, ROS and OrbiMed purchased from us in a private placement an aggregate of $6,809,896 in shares of our common stock (945,819 shares) at a price per share of $7.20. Immediately following these transactions, on February 14, 2018, ROS and OrbiMed collectively owned approximately 70.4% of our outstanding common stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, we commenced a rights offering on April 27, 2018, to allow our stockholders as of the April 27, 2018, record date to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,137,515 shares of our common stock at a subscription price of $7.20 per share. The rights offering expired on June 18, 2018.
The primary purposes of the restructuring was to reform our capital structure, meet our liquidity needs, reposition our Company for long-term growth, and regain compliance with NYSE American LLC listing standards. In conjunction with the consummation of the restructuring, we regained compliance with NYSE American listing standards on February 15, 2018. Stockholder approval was required under Sections 713(a) and 713(b) of the NYSE American Company Guide to complete the restructuring, which we obtained at a special meeting of stockholders held on February 13, 2018. At that meeting, our stockholders elected six directors, as discussed above under “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance–2018 Debt Restructuring,” to serve until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified.
On January 11, 2018, our executive officers and directors and certain of our stockholders (collectively, “Support Equityholders”), entered into a support agreement (“Support Agreement”) simultaneously with the execution of the Restructuring Agreement. Under the Support Agreement, the Support Equityholders agreed to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the approval of: (i) the amendment to our charter and the issuance of common stock pursuant to the exchange of Notes described above, (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later date, if there were not sufficient votes for the approval of such proposals on the date on which such meeting is held, and (iii) any other proposal included in the proxy statement for the special meeting of stockholders related to the restructuring described above that the Board recommended our stockholders approve. The Support Equityholders also appointed ROS and OrbiMed as attorney-in-fact and proxy to vote all applicable shares of the Support Equityholders consistent with the provisions of the Support Agreement. The Support Equityholders made standard representations and warranties related to their ownership of common stock.

Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 14, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with ROS and Royalty Opportunities. Pursuant to this agreement, on February 14, 2018, ROS and Royalty Opportunities purchased from us a total of 945,819 shares of our common stock, at a price of $7.20 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $6,809,896. Of these shares, 603,687 shares were issued to ROS and 342,132 shares were issued to Royalty Opportunities.
Registration Rights Agreement
Effective February 14, 2018, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Royalty Opportunities, ROS, PWPI and PWIMF which requires us, among other things, to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement (which, initially, will be on Form S-1 and, as soon as we are eligible, on Form S-3) covering the resale, from time to time, of our common stock that was issued upon conversion or exchange of the Notes and in the February 2018 private placement no later than May 15, 2018 and use our best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act no later than August 13, 2018. This registration statement was initially filed on May 15, 2018 and declared effective on June 4, 2018.
Investor Rights Agreement
Effective February 14, 2018, in connection with the debt restructuring, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Royalty Opportunities, ROS, Park West Investors Master Fund, Limited and Park West Partners International, Limited. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, ROS and Royalty Opportunities are permitted to nominate a majority of the directors and designate the chairperson of our Board of Directors at subsequent annual meetings, as long as they maintain an ownership threshold in our Company of at least 40% of our then outstanding common stock. If ROS and Royalty Opportunities are unable to maintain the Ownership Threshold, the Investor Rights Agreement contemplates a reduction of nomination rights commensurate with our ownership interests.
For so long as the Ownership Threshold is met, we must obtain the approval of a majority of our common stock held by ROS and Royalty Opportunities to proceed with the following actions: (i) issue new securities; (ii) incur over $250,000 of debt in a fiscal year; (iii) sell or transfer over $250,000 of our assets or businesses or our subsidiaries in a fiscal year; (iv) acquire over $250,000 of assets or properties in a fiscal year; (v) make capital expenditures over $125,000 individually, or $1,500,000 in the aggregate during a fiscal year; (vi) approve our annual budget; (vii) hire or terminate our chief executive officer; (viii) appoint or remove the chairperson of our Board of Directors; and (ix) make, loans to, investments in, or purchase, or permit any subsidiary to purchase, any stock or other securities in another entity in excess of $250,000 in a fiscal year. As long as the Ownership Threshold is met, we may not increase the size of our Board or Directors beyond seven directors without the approval of a majority of the directors nominated by ROS and Royalty Opportunities.
The Investor Rights Agreement grants Royalty Opportunities, ROS, PWPI and PWIMF the right to purchase from us a pro rata amount of any new securities that we may propose to issue and sell. The Investor Rights Agreement may be terminated (a) upon the mutual written agreement of all the parties, (b) upon our written notice, ROS or Royalty Opportunities if ROS and Royalty Opportunities’ ownership percentage of our then outstanding common stock is less than 10%, or (c) upon written notice of ROS and Royalty Opportunities. The right of PWPI and PWIMF to purchase from us a pro rata amount of any new securities will terminate at such time as their aggregate ownership percentage of our then outstanding common stock is less than 8.5%.
Credit Agreements and Warrant Issuances
On March 29, 2019, Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc., and our subsidiaries, Bacterin International, Inc., Xtant Medical Systems, Inc. and X-spine Systems, Inc., entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP, and ROS Acquisition Offshore LP, which amended and restated the prior Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 27, 2015 among the parties thereto, and as subsequently amended through the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Prior Credit Agreement was amended to provide that:
● | X-spine Systems, Inc. may request additional term loans from the Investors in the remaining amount available to be requested as additional delayed draw loans, which was approximately $2,200,000 as of the date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and may request new additional term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $10,000,000, the making of each such Loan to be subject to the discretion of the Investors and the Company’s production of a thirteen-week cash flow forecast that is approved by the Investors and shows a projected cash balance for the following two-week period of less than $1,500,000, as well as the satisfaction (or waiver in writing by each Investor) of conditions precedent, including closing certificate, delivery of budget, and other satisfactory documents; | |
● | No interest will accrue on the loans under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from and after January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2020; | |
● | Beginning April 1, 2020 through the maturity date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, interest payable in cash will accrue on the loans under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) 10.00% plus (ii) the higher of (x) the LIBO Rate (as such term is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and (y) 2.3125%; | |
● | The maturity date of the loans is March 31, 2021; | |
● | The Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio and Consolidated EBITDA (as such terms were defined in the Prior Credit Agreement) financial covenants were deleted and a new Revenue Base (as such term is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) financial covenant was added; and | |
● | The key person event default provision was revised to refer specifically to Kevin D. Brandt and Ronald G. Berlin. |
On April 1, 2019, Xtant issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.2 million shares of Company common stock to the Investors, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and an expiration date of April 1, 2029. The issuance of these warrants occurred on April 1, 2019 and was a condition to the effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The number of shares of Xtant common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants is subject to standard and customary anti-dilution provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions.
On September 17, 2018, Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc., and our subsidiaries, Bacterin International, Inc., Xtant Medical Systems, Inc. and X-spine Systems, Inc., entered into the Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “24th Amendment”) and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “25th Amendment”), which amended the Prior Credit Agreement. In addition, on that date, Xtant issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.2 million shares of Xtant common stock to the Investors, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and an expiration date of August 1, 2028. The issuance of these warrants was a condition to the effectiveness of the 25th Amendment. The number of shares of Xtant common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to standard and customary anti-dilution provisions for stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
The Investors, which collectively own approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock, and beneficially own, with their warrants, approximately 75% of our outstanding common stock, are the sole holders of our outstanding long-term debt.
The Company’s corporate governance policies require that the Audit Committee or the disinterested members of the full Board review and approve all related party transactions. The Audit Committee reviewed the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the 24th Amendment and the 25th Amendment and the above-described warrants and determined that the transactions were fair, just, and reasonable to the Company and are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Sublease Agreement
On April 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement wherein the Company will lease from Cardialen, Inc., a portion of Cardialen’s office space from April 5, 2019 to January 31, 2024 for a total of $125,700 paid in monthly installments. Because Jeffrey Peters is both a member of our Board and the Chief Executive Officer, President, and a Director of Cardialen, this transaction qualifies as a related party transaction. The Company’s corporate governance policies require that the Audit Committee or the disinterested members of the full Board review and approve all related party transactions. The Audit Committee reviewed the Sublease Agreement and determined that the transaction is fair, just, and reasonable to the Company and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Director Independence
The Board has affirmatively determined that the following two Board members are currently “independent directors,” as defined under the independence standards of the NYSE American: John Bakewell and Robert McNamara.
Item 14. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services |
Audit and Non-Audit Fees
EKS&H served as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our books and accounts for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017. However, effective October 1, 2018, EKS&H combined with Plante & Moran, PLLC (“Plante & Moran”). As a result, EKS&H resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Upon the resignation of EKS&H, the Audit Committee engaged Plante & Moran as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the remainder of 2018. The following table presents the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by EKS&H and Plante & Moran for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Audit fees | $ | 282,000 | $ | 283,000 | ||||
Audit-related fees | 16,500 | 14,500 | ||||||
Tax fees | — | 45,000 | ||||||
All other fees | 28,203 | 28,869 | ||||||
Total fees | $ | 326,703 | $ | 371,369 |
In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed for services provided related to the audit of our annual financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim financial statements, and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal periods. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the independent accountant for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the independent accountant for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the independent accountant for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.
Pre-Approval Policy
It is the Audit Committee’s policy to approve in advance the types and amounts of audit, audit-related, tax, and any other services to be provided by our independent accountants. In situations where it is not possible to obtain full Audit Committee approval, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Chair of the Audit Committee to grant pre-approval of auditing, audit-related, tax, and all other services up to $20,000. Any pre-approved decisions by the Chair are required to be reviewed with the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
The Audit Committee approved 100% of all services provided by EKS&H and Plante & Moran during fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017.
