| PhunCoin [Abstract] | |
| PhunCoin | PhunCoin In June 2018, we launched an offering pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of rights to acquire PhunCoin (the "Rights). In 2019, we commenced an offering of additional Rights to acquire PhunCoin pursuant to Regulation CF promulgated under the Securities Act, which closed May 1, 2019. For both offerings of Rights, we accepted payment in the form of cash and digital assets. The amount of PhunCoin to be issued to the purchaser is equal to the dollar amount paid by the purchaser divided by the price of the PhunCoin at the time of issuance of the PhunCoin during the launch of the Token Ecosystem (as defined below) before taking into consideration any applicable discount rate, which is based on the time of the purchase.
Through December 31, 2023, we received aggregate net cash proceeds from our Rights offerings of $1,202. Proceeds from the Rights are recorded as PhunCoin deposits in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. We currently do not plan to raise additional material proceeds through the sales of PhunCoin Rights.
Issuance of PhunCoin
PhunCoin is expected to be issued to Rights holders the earlier of (i) the launch of our blockchain technology enabled rewards marketplace and data exchange (“Token Ecosystem” or "Token Generation Event"), (ii) one (1) year after the issuance of the Rights to the purchaser or (iii) the date we determine that we have the ability to enforce resale restrictions with respect to PhunCoin pursuant to applicable federal securities laws. Proceeds from the Rights offerings are generally not refundable if the Token Generation Event is not consummated.
In 2021, we notified holders of the PhunCoin Rights to request they complete additional information needed for issuance and we currently anticipate that PhunCoin will be transferred to the holders of the Rights in 2024. Holders of the Rights may be transferred PhunCoin even if the Token Ecosystem is not yet fully developed. PhunCoin may not be able to be fully utilized until the Token Ecosystem is fully developed.
There can be no assurance as to when (or if) we will be able to successfully issue PhunCoin or complete the development of the Token Ecosystem. The Company is currently developing multiple aspects of the Token Ecosystem, as well as coordinating with trading platforms to support compliant transfer and trading of PhunCoin. The continued adjustment of dates to complete the development of the Token Ecosystem have been and may be adjusted based on user feedback, additional aspects of the Token Ecosystem currently under development and the ability to meet evolving applicable requirements; therefore, a specific development completion date for the Token Ecosystem is difficult to determine at this time, as it is based on many external factors outside of our control.
Termination of the Token Rights Agreement
Termination of the Token Rights Agreement occurs on the earlier of (i) PhunCoin being issued to the Rights holder pursuant to the provisions noted above, (ii) the payment, or setting aside of payment with respect to a dissolution event (as described below) or (iii) twelve months from the date of the Token Rights Agreement with the Rights holder, which we may extend at our sole discretion for six months if a Token Generation Event has not occurred. Upon termination of the Token Rights Agreement, we have no further obligation to the Rights holder. While the Token Rights Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms (with respect to all Rights holders), as of the date of this Annual Report, we have determined to continue our obligations under the Token Rights Agreement and transfer of PhunCoin to the holders of Rights.
Dissolution Event
A dissolution event occurs if there has been (i) a voluntary termination of our operations, (ii) a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) a change of U.S. laws that make the use or issuance of PhunCoin or the Token Generation Event impractical or unfeasible or (iv) any other liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
In the event a dissolution event occurs prior to the termination of the Token Rights Agreement, if there are any remaining proceeds from the Rights offering that have not been utilized by us in our operations or for the development of the Token Ecosystem, such remaining proceeds would be distributed pro rata to purchasers in the Rights offering following any distributions to holders of our capital stock or debt, if any.
No Voting Rights or Profit Share
Rights holders (and eventual PhunCoin holders) have no voting rights and are not entitled to share in the profits or residual interest of Phunware or any subsidiaries of the Company. However, PhunCoin holders will be provided fractional economic interests in the Token Ecosystem, including monthly PhunCoin or other distributions to PhunCoin holders, based on
their respective ownership percentage of and other elections with respect to PhunCoin, totaling 2.5% or more of certain Token Ecosystem revenues.
PhunCoin Warrants
In 2018, we issued warrants to receive PhunCoin to sixty-eight (68) stockholders. At the time of issuance, we determined there should be no value assigned to the rights to receive PhunCoin under these warrants issued to the stockholders, for the following reasons: (i) the PhunCoin-related rights in these warrants (x) lacked characteristics of financial instruments and derivatives, and (y) did not obligate us to achieve the Token Generation Event or launch and distribute PhunCoin to the warrant holders and (ii) there was not a market for PhunCoin and they did not exist.
Should we complete a Token Generation Event, the warrant holders would receive their requisite amount of PhunCoin.
