Description of Business and Financial Condition |
Description of Business and Financial Condition | 1. Description of Business and Financial Condition Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on August 21, 2007. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company developing disease modifying therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The Company’s pipeline candidates were discovered using proprietary biology and chemistry platforms designed to identify novel drug targets and disease-modifying therapies that address dysregulated pathways specifically associated with neurodegenerative diseases. The Company was founded on the unique combination of biological expertise around these targets, including proprietary assays that emphasize functional responses, and proprietary medicinal chemistry intended to produce novel, high-quality small-molecule drug candidates. On July 14, 2015, the Company formed Cognition Therapeutics PTY LTD, as its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), primarily for the purpose of conducting research and development efforts at facilities located in Australia. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s Australian subsidiary, which uses the Australian dollar as its local functional currency, are translated to United States (U.S.) dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during the month in which income and expenses are generated. Translation adjustments are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ deficit. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss as a part of other income, net. On October 13, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 3,768,116 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share. The gross proceeds from the IPO, including the overallotment exercise, were $45.2 million and the net proceeds were approximately $38.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering related expenses payable by the Company. Upon completion of the IPO, all of the Company’s then outstanding preferred stock as of September 30, 2021 was automatically converted into an aggregate of 15,906,537 shares of common stock and an aggregate amount of $8.9 million of simple agreements for future equity (“SAFEs”), as of September 30, 2021, was automatically converted into an aggregate of 931,485 shares of common stock (see Note 13). On November 10, 2021, the representative of the underwriters for the IPO provided notice to the Company that it had elected to exercise its over-allotment option in full to purchase 565,217 shares of the Company’s common stock. The representative’s exercise of the over-allotment option closed on November 12, 2021, resulting in gross proceeds of $6.8 million and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering related expenses. The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $8.3 million at September 30, 2021. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents, including the net proceeds from its IPO, will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from November 17, 2021, the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, additional funding will be necessary beyond this point to fund future preclinical and clinical activities. The Company expects to finance its future cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements.
