Common Stock

10. Common Stock

At the closing of the merger, the shares of Private Disc’s common stock were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Exchange Ratio.

As of September 30, 2023, the authorized capital stock of the Company included 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. Prior to the merger, the holders of Private Disc’s common stock were subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has 2,558,531 shares of common stock reserved for the exercise of stock options and 204,081 shares of common stock reserved for the exercise of pre-funded warrants.

Registration Statements Resulting from the Merger

In January 2023, as a result of the merger, the Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which covered the proposed resale or other disposition by certain stockholders of up to an aggregate of 12,635,956 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC, which registered 1,672,599 shares of common stock issuable with respect to Private Disc options assumed by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement as well as 2,035,103 additional shares of common stock reserved and available for

future issuance under the 2021 Plan and 180,894 additional shares of common stock reserved and available for future issuance under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”).

ATM Program

In January 2023, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which covered the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to an aggregate of $300.0 million of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or units. Subsequently in January 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SVB Securities LLC, as sales agent, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offerings under the shelf. Under this program, the Company offered and sold, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock through SVB Securities LLC as its sales agent. In an ATM offering, exchange-listed companies incrementally sell newly issued shares into the secondary trading market through a designated broker-dealer at prevailing market prices. Effective June 12, 2023, the ATM program was suspended. Following the date of the ATM suspension, the Company did not make any further sales of its common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement was terminated effective September 28, 2023. In connection with the ATM suspension, the Company recognized the remaining capitalized issuance costs of $0.3 million as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had sold an aggregate of 825,350 shares of common stock in at-the-market offerings under the shelf. Aggregate gross proceeds from the transactions were $20.0 million and the Company received $19.5 million in net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.

Registered Direct Offering

In February 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, with certain investors. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,488,166 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $23.00 per share, and with respect to a certain investor, in lieu of shares of the Company’s common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,229,224 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $22.9999 per pre-funded warrant, for aggregate net proceeds of $62.4 million, after deducting offering expenses of $0.1 million.

The pre-funded warrants provide that the holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation by giving 61 days’ notice, but not to any percentage in excess of 19.99%. The investors or their affiliates are beneficial holders of more than 5% of the Company’s capital stock. The pre-funded warrants meet the condition for equity classification and were therefore recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital at the time of their issuance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, all of the pre-funded warrants were exercised in a cashless transaction which resulted in 1,229,221 shares of common stock being issued to the investor.

Follow-On Public Offering

In June 2023, the Company issued 3,015,919 shares of its common stock upon the completion of its public follow-on offering, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 420,000 additional shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $49.00 per share. The Company also sold, in lieu of shares of the Company’s common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 204,081 shares of common stock at a price of $48.9999 per pre-funded warrant. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $147.9 million, after deducting offering expenses of $9.9 million.

The pre-funded warrants provide that the holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 24.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise (the “Ownership Limit”). Purchasers of the pre-funded warrants may also elect to set the initial Ownership Limit at 4.99%, 9.99% or 19.99%. Upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Ownership Limit up to 24.99%, provided however that purchasers that select an Ownership Limit of 19.99% or less will only be allowed to increase the Ownership Limit above 19.99% if such increase would not result in a change of control under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The pre-funded warrants meet the condition for equity classification and were therefore recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital.
