2. Merger and Financing

 

As discussed in Note 1 – Nature of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on September 22, 2023, the Company and MURF completed the Merger. Upon the closing of the Merger, the following occurred:

 

  Each share of Old Conduit common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, which totaled 2,000 shares, was exchanged for the right to receive 323 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”) resulting in the issuance of 646,264 shares of Conduit Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Common Stock.
     
  In addition to the shares issued to legacy Conduit shareholders noted above, an additional 3,735 shares of Common Stock was issued to Conduit convertible note holders, resulting in a total of 650,000 shares of Common Stock being issued to Conduit shareholders and holders of Conduit convertible notes payable.
     
  In connection with the Merger, 450 shares of MURF Class A common stock held by the MURF Sponsor was transferred to MURF Directors. Each share was exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common Stock.
     
  Each share of MURF Class A common stock held by the MURF Sponsor prior to the closing of the Merger, which totaled 7,090 shares, was exchanged for, on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common Stock.
     
  Each share of MURF common stock subject to possible redemption that was not redeemed prior to the closing of the Merger, which totaled 580 shares, was exchanged for, on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common Stock.
     
  In connection with the Merger, 33,062 shares of MURF Class B common stock held by the Sponsor was automatically converted into shares of MURF Class A common stock and then subsequently converted into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

 

 

  In connection with the Merger, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), whom acted as a financial advisor to both MURF and Conduit, was due to receive (i) a cash fee of $6.5 million, 13,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 540 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1,100 per share pursuant to its engagement agreement with Conduit entered into on August 2, 2022 and (ii) $4.6 million of deferred underwriting fees as a result of its engagement for MURF’s initial public offering. Upon closing of the Merger, A.G.P. received a cash payment of $5.6 million, 13,000 shares of Common Stock, and 540 warrants to purchase 540 shares of Common Stock. The remaining $5.7 million of cash payments due to A.G.P upon closing of the Merger was deferred and to be paid on or before March 21, 2025, with annual interest of 5.5%. The remaining cash payments due, which were directly attributable to the Merger, were accounted for as a liability with an offset to additional paid-in capital in accordance with SAB Topic 5.A on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 7 for discussion of amendment of the note that took place during the year ended December 31, 2024.
     
  In connection with the Merger, MURF entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) for an aggregate of 20,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of Company common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), together with one warrant exercisable into one share of Company common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”). Upon the closing of the PIPE Financing (which closed in connection with the closing of the Merger), the Company received $20.0 million in cash from the PIPE Financing, which was used to settle related party promissory notes issued by MURF to the MURF Sponsor and an affiliate of the MURF Sponsor as well as transaction costs.
     
  The proceeds received by the Company from the Merger and PIPE Financing, net of transaction costs, and other payments for existing liabilities and prepayments, totaled $8.5 million.
     
  The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, MURF was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes (see Note 1 for further details). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of MURF, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of MURF were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
