Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Business Combination Agreement Concurrent with the F351 Asset acquisition, as amended on March 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement with GNI and other minority stockholders (“Sellers” and each a “Seller”) to acquire an indirect controlling interest in BC, a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company based in China and majority-owned subsidiary of GNI, in exchange for newly issued shares of Catalyst common stock. The closing of the transactions under the Business Combination Agreement will be subject to stockholder approval at a stockholder meeting expected to be held on August 29, 2023 and certain customary closing conditions. If the transaction is approved by stockholders, the Company would issue at closing a total of up to 1,110,776,224 shares of Catalyst common stock for an indirect controlling interest in BC. Each Seller may elect to be issued Catalyst Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of the Company’s common stock. The Business Combination Agreement contains certain termination rights, including the right for Catalyst to terminate the Business Combination Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal. Upon termination of the Business Combination Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $2.0 million and either party, as the case may be, may be required to reimburse the other party for reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by such party in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, up to a maximum amount of $2.0 million. Contingent Value Rights Agreement Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on December 26, 2022, Catalyst and the Rights Agent (as defined therein) executed the CVR Agreement, as amended on March 29, 2023, pursuant to which the CVR Holders received one contractual CVR issued by the Company, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, for each share of Catalyst common stock held by such holder. Each CVR entitles the holder thereof to receive (i) certain cash payments from the net proceeds related to the disposition of the Company’s legacy assets (MarzAA, DalcA, and CB 2679d-GT), (ii) 100% of the excess cash (net of all current or contingent liabilities, including transaction-related expenses) retained by the Company in excess of $1.0 million as of the closing date of the transactions under the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) 100% of the amount actually received by the Company, net of expenses, pursuant to the Vertex asset purchase agreement and (iv) 100% of the excess, by which the preapproved costs to manage, negotiate, settle and finalize certain third party claims exceed the costs actually incurred with respect to such claims. The CVRs are not transferable, except in certain limited circumstances as provided for in the CVR Agreement, will not be certificated or evidenced by any instrument, and will not be registered with the SEC or listed for trading on any exchange. In December 2022, the Company recorded a $5.0 million short-term CVR derivative liability related to the Vertex asset purchase agreement. On June 5, 2023, the Company distributed the net cash proceeds received from Vertex of $3.5 million, which reflected the amount received from Vertex less expenses and a reserve for potential tax liabilities, to the CVR Holders. Refer to Note 4, Fair Value Measurements and Note 11, Restructuring, for additional information regarding the CVR derivative liability and Vertex hold-back payment. In February 2023, the Company recorded a $4.5 million long-term CVR derivative liability as a result of the disposition of the Company’s legacy assets to GCBP. On March 8, 2023, the Company distributed the net cash proceeds received from the GCBP asset sale of $0.2 million to the CVR Holders. Refer to Note 4, Fair Value Measurements and Note 11, Restructuring, for additional information regarding the CVR derivative liability and GCBP asset sale. Manufacturing Agreements On April 18, 2023, the Company entered into two separate agreements to support the F351 Assets acquired from GNI. One agreement will cover analytical method process familiarization and validation to support good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) manufacturing, and the other agreement will cover non-GMP manufacturing services and clinical supply batch GMP manufacturing of the F351 Assets, with total payments of up to $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The Company can terminate these agreements at any time upon 90 days written notice. Upon termination, the Company will be responsible to pay for services incurred prior to termination and any non-cancellable obligations in connection with such services.
