Shareholders' Equity and Debt SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND DEBT
Share repurchases
Cumberland currently has a share repurchase program available to repurchase its common stock pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In January 2019, the Company's Board of Directors established the current $10 million repurchase program to replace the prior authorizations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 275,088 and 302,450 shares of common stock, respectively, for approximately $0.5 million during each period. At September 30, 2024, there remains approximately $2.5 million available under the current repurchase program for common share repurchases.
Share purchases and sales
In the Company's March 2024 trading window, several members of Cumberland's Board of Directors entered into agreements for trading plans to purchase shares of the Company's stock pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. These purchases are designed to increase ownership in the Company by the members of the Board. The plans became effective on June 13, 2024, and as of September 30, 2024, a total of 22,893 shares have been purchased through these trading plans.
Share Sales
In November 2017, Cumberland filed a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 with the SEC associated with the sale of up to $100 million in corporate securities. The Shelf Registration was declared effective in January 2018. It also included an At the Market ("ATM") feature that allowed the Company to sell common shares at market prices, along with an agreement with B. Riley FBR Inc. to support such a placement of shares. The Company filed an updated Form S-3 with the SEC in December 2023, which was declared effective December 26, 2023. On March 20, 2024, the Company filed a related prospectus supplement in connection with the sale and issuance of shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $5.8 million. The Company intends to continue an ATM feature through H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, that would allow the Company to issue shares of its common stock. The Company did not issue any shares under an ATM during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Restricted Share Grants and Incentive Stock Options
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company issued 50,500 shares and 34,250 shares of restricted stock, respectively, to employees, advisors and directors. Restricted stock issued to employees and advisors generally cliff-vests on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant and for directors on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company also issued 190,450 and 192,550 incentive stock options, respectively, to employees that cliff-vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, and are largely set to expire in 2034 and 2033, respectively.
Stock compensation expense is presented as a component of general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as it relates to these restricted share grants and options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a credit of $0.02 million to stock compensation expense related to the forfeiture of unvested restricted stock awards and incentive stock options.
Debt Agreement
On September 5, 2023, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Pinnacle Bank. This facility provides for an aggregate principal funding amount of up to $25 million. The initial revolving line of credit is up to $20 million, with the ability for Cumberland to increase the amount to $25 million, under certain conditions. It has a 3-year term expiring on October 1, 2026. The interest rate is based on Benchmark (Term SOFR) plus a spread of 2.75%. Cumberland is subject to one financial covenant, the maintenance of a Funded Debt Ratio, determined on a quarterly basis. Borrowings under the line of credit are collateralized by substantially all of our assets.
On May 6, 2024, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Loan Agreement which provides an alternative to the financial covenant by delivering to the lender a borrowing base certificate and complying with certain borrowing base requirements which set forth a maximum revolver amount equal to the lessor of (a) up to $20 million or (b) the sum of the Company's cash balances and eligible accounts receivable.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $16.1 million and $12.8 million, respectively, in borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The applicable interest rate under the Loan Agreement was 8.000% at September 30, 2024.
Joint Venture Agreement
In August 2020, Cumberland entered into an agreement with WinHealth Investment (Singapore) Ltd creating WHC Biopharmaceuticals, Pte. Ltd. The joint venture, as a limited liability company, will focus on acquiring, developing, registering, and commercializing development stage and commercial stage biopharmaceuticals for China, Hong Kong and other Asian markets. The agreement provided for initial investment from WinHealth in the form of a $0.2 million equity contribution and an initial investment from Cumberland in the form of a $0.2 million convertible note, which was funded during the first quarter of 2021. The joint venture will seek additional future capital from additional investors and has entered into exclusive option agreements to license product candidates from both Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Cumberland Emerging Technologies Inc.
