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 targeting age-related degenerative diseases and disorders of the central nervous system (“CNS”) and retina. 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 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’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net loss as a part of other income, net. On November 15, 2022, the Company closed a follow-on public offering of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $1.20 per share (“November 2022 Offering”). The gross proceeds from the November 2022 Offering were $6,000 and the net proceeds were approximately $5,184, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering related expenses payable by the Company. Additionally, the Company granted the underwriters in the November 2022 Offering an option to purchase up to 750,000 additional shares of its common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On December 23, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268992) (the “Shelf”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, subscription rights, and/or units of any combination thereof of up to $200,000 in aggregate. The Shelf was declared effective on January 3, 2023 by the SEC. The Company also simultaneously entered into a sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Sales Agents”) providing for the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to $40,000 of its common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the Shelf (the “ATM”). During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold 1,105,178 shares of our common stock pursuant to the ATM for gross proceeds of approximately $2,502. Please refer to Note 7 for further details. On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) for an equity line financing (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to $35,000 of shares of common stock in the Company’s sole discretion, over a 36-month period commencing on March 10, 2023. The Company filed a prospectus supplement to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268992) covering the resale of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not sold any shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park. Please refer to Note 7 for further details. The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $37,190 at June 30, 2023. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the one year period subsequent to the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, additional funding will be necessary beyond this point to fund the Company’s future preclinical and clinical activities. The Company expects to finance its future cash needs through a combination of grant awards, equity or debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements.
