ASSET ACQUISITION

 

3)ASSET ACQUISITION

 

On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Exacis Purchase Agreement”), with Dilos Bio (formerly known as Exacis Biotherapeutics Inc. (“Exacis”)), the stockholders party thereto and, with respect to specified provisions therein, Factor Limited. Pursuant to the Exacis Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired from Exacis substantially all of Exacis’ intellectual property assets (the “Exacis Assets”), including all of Exacis’ right, title and interest in and to an exclusive license agreement between Exacis and Factor Limited (the “Purchased License”). The Company assumed none of Exacis’ liabilities, other than liabilities under the Purchased License that accrue subsequent to the closing date. The transactions contemplated by the Exacis Purchase Agreement (the “Exacis Acquisition”) closed on April 26, 2023.

 

In consideration for the Exacis Assets, on the closing date of the transaction, the Company issued to Exacis approximately 69,000 shares of common stock, which shares were subject to a 12-month lockup that expired in April 2024. The shares were issued to Exacis at a price based on the Company having an assumed equity valuation of $75.0 million, divided by the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the close of business two trading days prior to the closing date. For accounting purposes, the shares issued were valued at $3.00 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The Company additionally agreed to make certain contingent payments through April 23, 2026 related to achieving a market capitalization of $100 million and $200 million for a consecutive period of time (the “Market Cap Contingent Consideration”), as well as contingent payments related to the Company receiving proceeds related to the Purchased License through April 23, 2028.

 

 

The Company accounted for the Exacis Acquisition as an asset acquisition because it determined that substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in the Purchased License. Assets acquired in an asset acquisition are recognized based on their cost to the acquirer and generally allocated to the assets on a relative fair value basis. The Company’s cost for acquiring the Exacis Assets includes the issuance of the Company’s common stock, direct acquisition-related costs and contingent consideration. The table below shows the total fair value of the consideration paid for the Exacis Assets (in thousands). See Note 4 for more information on the fair value measurement of the assets acquired.

 

   Fair Value of
Consideration
 
Shares issued  $208 
Contingent consideration   225 
Direct costs   27 
Total fair value  $460 

 

The Company allocated 100% of the fair value of the consideration to the Purchased License, which the Company determined is an in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) asset. IPR&D assets acquired through an asset purchase that have no alternative future uses and no separate economic values from their original intended purpose are expensed in the period the cost is incurred. As a result, the Company expensed the fair value of the Purchased License during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

On September 24, 2024, in connection with entering into the Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement (“the Factor L&C Agreement”) with Factor Bioscience Limited (“Factor Limited”), the Purchase License was terminated. See Note 10 for more information on the Factor L&C Agreement.
