CRADA with NICHD for the Pivotal Phase 3 Study of Ovaprene
In July 2021, the Company entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, or the CRADA, with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as represented by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, or NICHD, for the conduct of a multi-center, non-comparative, pivotal Phase 3 clinical study of Ovaprene, or the Ovaprene Phase 3. The Ovaprene Phase 3 will be conducted within NICHD’s Contraceptive Clinical Trial Network with NICHD contractor Health Decisions Inc., a contract research organization, providing clinical coordination and data collection and management services for the Ovaprene Phase 3. The Company and NICHD will each provide medical oversight and final data review and analysis for the Ovaprene Phase 3 and will work together to prepare the final report of the results of the Ovaprene Phase 3. The Company is responsible for providing clinical supplies of Ovaprene, coordinating interactions with the FDA, preparing and submitting supportive regulatory documentation, and providing a total of $5.5 million in payments to NICHD to be applied toward the costs of conducting the Ovaprene Phase 3. NICHD will be responsible for the other costs related to the conduct of the Ovaprene Phase 3. In accordance with the payment schedule under the CRADA, the Company has made aggregate payments of $5.0 million of the total amount payable to NICHD, $3.5 million of which was paid during the first quarter of 2022. At March 31, 2022, the remaining amount of the Company's payment obligation under the CRADA was $0.5 million.
Contingent Consideration
As discussed in Note 3 above, in connection with the acquisition of MBI, the Company agreed to pay additional consideration of up to $46.5 million to the former stockholders of MBI contingent upon the achievement of specified funding, product development and regulatory milestones. In June 2021, $1.25 million of that potential additional consideration became payable upon the achievement of certain of the funding and product development milestone events, $1.0 million of which was previously recorded as contingent consideration on the Company's consolidated balance sheets upon the completion of the MBI acquisition and $250,000 of which was expensed in 2021. In July 2021, the Company’s board of directors elected to make these milestone payments in shares of the Company’s common stock, to the extent permissible under the terms of the merger agreement with MBI, and, in September 2021, the Company issued approximately 700,000 shares of its common stock to former stockholders of MBI and paid $75,000 to the stockholders’ representative in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement in satisfaction of the $1.25 million in milestone payments associated with milestones achieved in June 2021.
Note PayableIn April 2020, due to the economic uncertainty resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations and to support its ongoing operations and retain all employees, the Company applied for and received a loan of $367,285 under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA. Under the terms of the PPP, the loan proceeds could be used for "qualifying expenses" and, subject to specified limitations in the CARES Act and under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the loan, including accrued interest, may be forgiven if used for qualifying expenses. In January 2021, the Company was notified that the principal balance of its PPP loan and all accrued interest, which together totaled $369,887, were fully forgiven by the SBA. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of note payable and debt forgiveness income with respect to such loan forgiveness in the first quarter of 2021.
