15. | Investment in Or-Genix Therapeutics, Inc.
In April 2015, the Company entered into several agreements with Or-Genix Therapeutics, Inc. (“Or-Genix”), pursuant to which the Company transferred certain of its non-focus technology rights to Or-Genix in exchange for a 19.9% ownership interest in Or-Genix, representing 2,484,395 shares of the common stock of Or-Genix, and purchased $250,000 in perpetual non-redeemable preferred stock which is included in other assets as of December 31, 2015. The rights the Company transferred include exclusive rights to a compound formerly known as “RES-102,” which is a “soft” estrogen potentially to be developed for the treatment of aging skin fragility/thinning and vulvo-vaginal atrophy, and exclusive rights to a compound formerly known as “RES-214,” a non-prescription cosmeceutical product under development by a sublicensee. The Company previously licensed these rights from Yale University and as part of this transaction assigned those license agreements to Or-Genix. The Company also assigned its rights under a sublicense agreement with Ferndale Pharma Group, Inc. for the formulation, manufacture, sale and marketing of RES-214. As the rights exchanged for the common stock investment had a recorded value of zero as of the transaction date, and as the common stock transaction was a non-monetary exchange, no value was assigned to the common stock portion of the Company’s Or-Genix investment and no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction. Or-Genix is founded and owned primarily by Yael Schwartz, Ph.D., a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors and former Executive Vice President, Preclinical Development. The transfer of these technology rights to Or-Genix was executed since the Company is focusing its development efforts and resources on its other technologies. The Company does not control nor exercise significant influence over Or-Genix.
