Reverse Merger with Gemini

3. Reverse Merger with Gemini

As described in Note 1, Private Disc merged with Gemini on December 29, 2022. The merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Private Disc as the accounting acquirer. The primary pre-combination assets of Gemini were cash and cash equivalents. Under reverse recapitalization accounting, the assets and liabilities of Gemini were recorded at their fair value which approximated book value due to the short-term nature of the accounts. No goodwill or intangible assets were recognized. Consequently, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the operations of Private Disc for accounting purposes, together with a deemed issuance of shares equivalent to the shares held by the former stockholders of Gemini, the legal acquirer, and a recapitalization of the equity of Private Disc, the accounting acquirer.

As part of the reverse recapitalization, the Company acquired $97.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company also obtained prepaids and other assets of $1.8 million and assumed accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7.8 million. Gemini’s development programs had ceased prior to the merger and were deemed to be de minimis in value at the transaction date.

In addition, the Company recognized $0.6 million in share-based compensation expense as a result of the acceleration of vesting of stock options, performance stock units and restricted stock units at the time of merger. This amount was recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also incurred transaction costs of $7.9 million and this amount is recorded in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the year ended December 31, 2022.
