Pursuant to the Chronix Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Chronix, with Chronix surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OncoCyte (the “Chronix Merger”). Prior to the Chronix Merger, Chronix was a privately-held molecular diagnostics company, developing blood tests for use in cancer treatment and organ transplantation.

 

Merger Consideration

 

Pursuant to the Chronix Merger Agreement, OncoCyte agreed to deliver closing consideration consisting of approximately (i) 591,000 shares of OncoCyte common stock (the “Closing Shares”), which represents approximately $1.13 million of Closing Shares issued to Chronix stockholders and approximately $1.87 million of Closing Shares issued to payoff assumed liabilities, based on the $5.09 closing price per share of OncoCyte common stock on the NYSE American on February 1, 2021; (ii) $4.25 million in cash; and (iii) $2.5 million of assumed liabilities of Chronix payable in installments through July 2022. The closing consideration, milestones, and earnout consideration include amounts payable to certain directors, officers and employees of Chronix, including officers and employees who are expected to continue to provide services to Chronix following the Chronix Merger.

 

Milestones & Earnout Consideration

 

As consideration for holders of certain classes and series of Chronix capital stock, the Chronix Merger Agreement provides for OncoCyte to pay (i) up to $14 million in any combination of cash or OncoCyte common stock if certain milestones are achieved, (ii) earnout consideration during the five to ten-year earnout periods of up to 15% of net collections for sales of specified tests and products, and (iii) up to 75% of net collections from the sale or license to a third party of Chronix’s patents for use in transplantation medicine during a seven-year earnout period.

 

Liabilities

 

Pursuant to the Chronix Merger Agreement, to the extent that OncoCyte or any of its subsidiaries, including Chronix, pays, performs or discharges an amount of liabilities of Chronix in excess of $8.25 million (the “Excess Liabilities”), OncoCyte may set off the Excess Liabilities against any additional payments that subsequently become due and payable pursuant to the Chronix Merger Agreement. Chronix had Excess Liabilities approximating $4.6 million as of the Closing Date. Prior to Chronix equity holders receiving any additional payments, all or a partial amount of any such additional payments may be used to pay Excess Liabilities.
