Founder Shares

 

On December 15, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 7,187,500 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 for an aggregate price of $25,000. In December 2017 and January 2018, the Sponsor transferred 100,000 Founder Shares to Christopher Wolfe, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and 30,000 Founder Shares to each of Steven Hochberg, Dr. Susan Weaver, Dr. Mohit Kaushal and Dr. Gregory Sorensen, the Company’s independent directors. The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 937,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over‑allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture was to be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On April 2, 2018, the over-allotment option expired and an aggregate of 937,500 shares were subsequently forfeited by the initial stockholders.

 

The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,333,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6.5 million in the Private Placement. The Sponsor had agreed that if the over-allotment option was exercised, the Sponsor would have purchased up to an additional 500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for additional gross proceeds of $750,000.

 

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

 

An affiliate of Deerfield Management Company, L.P, a Delaware series limited partnership (“Deerfield Management”), which is a significant owner of the Sponsor, purchased 2,500,000 Units in the Initial Public Offering at $10.00 per Unit. The underwriters did not receive any underwriting discounts or commissions on the Units purchased by Deerfield Management’s affiliate.

 

Related Party Loans

 

The Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $270,531 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering and working capital needs. The loan was non-interest bearing. The Company repaid this loan on February 21, 2018.

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. To date, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

 

Services Agreements and Reimbursements

 

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on February 16, 2018 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support.

 

The Company is obligated to pay $7,500 per month to Mr. Wolfe, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for his services prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the strategic services agreement.

 

The Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf.

 

The Company recorded an aggregate of $52,500 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 each, and $157,500 and $130,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in general and administrative expenses in connection with the related agreements in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of operations.
