Asset Acquisition with NeurMedix

 

On April 27, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with NeurMedix and Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (“Acuitas”), which are related party affiliates, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from NeurMedix and assumed certain liabilities of NeurMedix, in exchange for consideration of cash and shares of common stock. The acquired assets include, among others, those related to certain drug candidates being developed by NeurMedix, including NE3107, a small molecule orally administered inhibitor of insulin resistance and the pathological inflammatory cascade, with a novel mechanism of action that has potential applications for treatment against Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the APA, following the closing, the Company was potentially obligated to deliver contingent stock consideration to NeurMedix (or its successor). Previously, the Company was obligated to deliver contingent stock consideration to NeurMedix (or its successor) consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $3.0 billion, subject to the Company’s achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones related to the drug candidates to be acquired from NeurMedix, and subject to a cap limiting each issuance of shares if such issuance would result in the beneficial ownership of NeurMedix and its affiliates exceeding 89.9999% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the APA, dated May 9, 2021, the Company is now obligated to deliver to NeurMedix (or its successor) 4.5 million shares upon the achievement of each of the four milestones set forth in the APA, for an aggregate of up to 18 million shares, subject to a cap limiting the issuance of shares if such issuance would result in the beneficial ownership of NeurMedix and its affiliates exceeding 87.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

On June 10, 2021, and pursuant to the APA, the Company issued to Acuitas (as NeurMedix’s assignee) 8,361,308 shares of the Company’s common stock and made a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million, representing NeurMedix’s direct and documented cash expenditures to advance certain programs from March 1, 2021 through the closing date and cash payments to other third parties for expenses totaling approximately $4.0 million for due diligence, legal fees, transaction fees and the fairness opinion. Since the transaction was between entities under common control, there were no fair value adjustments of the purchased assets, and the historical cost basis of the purchased assets was zero. The total consideration paid was expensed as research and development expense.

 

Equity Transactions with Acuitas 

 

On September 22, 2020, concurrent with the closing of the Company’s Offering, approximately $1.8 million was paid to Acuitas satisfying all amounts owed on the Debenture due September 24, 2020 held by the Company’s controlling stockholder, Acuitas.

 

Additionally, in connection with the close of the public offering on September 22, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,909,582 shares of Common Stock to Acuitas, representing (i) 5.4 million shares issuable pursuant to Acuitas’ rights under the Purchase Agreement dated July 3, 2018, as amended on June 24, 2019 and October 9, 2019; and the various extension letters; which resulted in a deemed dividend at the close of the public offering at price of $10 per share, consistent with the Company’s accounting policy; and (ii) the automatic exercise of 1.5 million warrants issued to Acuitas in connection with the Debenture financing at the par value of the Common Stock.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company received additional draws under the Debenture totaling $436,000. The total draws as of September 22, 2020 were $1.7 million and the related total number of warrants issuable at $4.00 per share of common stock was 424,750 of which 328,250 warrants had been issued. In accordance with the Debenture agreements, at September 22, 2020 upon the Company’s close of its public offering, all the warrants issued related to the debenture totaling 1,453,250 were mandatorily redeemed along with the additional 96,500 shares common stock issued to Acuitas.
