3. Liquidity

The Company incurred recurring losses from operations as well as negative cash flows from operating activities during fiscal 2015, and the six months ended December 31, 2015, and anticipates incurring additional losses and negative cash flows until such time that it can generate sufficient revenue from the sale, customization, or exclusive use and licensing of its proprietary range of injectable drug delivery systems to pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On October 13, 2015, Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”) entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated March 12, 2014, by and between ROS Acquisition Offshore LP (the “Lender”), an affiliate of OrbiMed Advisors (“OrbiMed”), and the Borrower (the “Credit Agreement”, as amended the “Amended Credit Agreement” or the “OrbiMed Financing”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide Borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement, up to an aggregate additional principal amount of $10.0 million less fees and expenses. As of December 31, 2015, the Borrower had borrowed $10.0 million under the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, Borrower’s prepayments and repayments of any unpaid principal amount of the Loans (as defined below) shall include a 10.0% repayment premium (with certain enumerated exceptions). The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties in favor of the Lender. The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Borrower to maintain a cash balance of $3.0 million, rather than $5.0 million, and also contains certain other covenants relating to financial performance, cash revenue targets and liquidity targets, among others.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Borrower entered into a royalty agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”, as amended the “Amended Royalty Agreement) with Royalty Opportunities S.A.R.L. (“ROS”) which entitles ROS to receive royalty payments. Concurrent with the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower entered into a Second Amendment to the Royalty Agreement. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Amended Royalty Agreement, Borrower has agreed to pay ROS 4.52% on the first $50.0 million of net sales (on a cash receipts basis as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) in each fiscal year, plus 1.75% of net sales in excess of $50.0 million and up to and including $100.0 million in each fiscal year, plus 0.438% of net sales in excess of $100.0 million in each fiscal year. Borrower has the right to buy out the Amended Royalty Agreement at any time on or before March 12, 2018 at a reduced amount. The buy-out amount ranges from approximately $21.9 million up to a maximum of approximately $37.2 million. The buy-out amount varies based on when the buy-out option is exercised in each case and would be reduced by amounts previously paid by Borrower to ROS pursuant to the Amended Royalty Agreement. In connection with the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Royalty Agreement, the Borrower also issued an amended and restated promissory note to the Lender (the “Amended and Restated Promissory Note”). The Amended and Restated Promissory Note reflects the Borrower’s commitment to repay to the Lender all amounts owed under the Amended Credit Agreement, including the additional amounts contemplated by the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement.

On November 6, 2015, the Borrower received a waiver from the Lender of the covenant in the Amended Credit Agreement that requires the Borrower to generate $54.1 million in customer cash receipts from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, subject to certain conditions that the Company satisfied. There were no other changes to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement or Amended Royalty Agreement in connection with the waiver.

On December 31, 2015, the Borrower entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to defer the due date for the December 31, 2015 interest payment (in the amount of $1.7 million) (the “Interest Payment”) to February 5, 2016. Additionally, the Borrower agreed to pay interest on such deferred amount from December 31, 2015 at the rate set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and to pay all fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement.

 

On January 31, 2016, the Borrower entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to further defer the due date for the Interest Payment to Tuesday, February 9, 2016. Additionally, the Borrower agreed to pay interest on such deferred amount from December 31, 2015 at the rate set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and to pay all fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement.

On January 31, 2016, the Company and the Borrower entered into the Third Amendment to the Royalty Agreement with ROS. The Third Amendment to the Royalty Agreement became effective as of January 29, 2016. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Third Amendment to the Royalty Agreement, ROS agreed to defer the due date for (i) $0.1 million of the January 30, 2016 royalty payment to February 1, 2016, and (ii) $0.7 million of the January 30, 2016 royalty payment to February 9, 2016.

As previously disclosed, on September 14, 2015 the Company implemented a cost reduction and business realignment initiative pursuant to which the Company reduced its headcount by approximately 50 employees, or 17% of its workforce at the time. In connection with this initiative, we recorded a charge of approximately $0.4 million to operating expenses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2015. On October 14, 2015, the Company implemented a second initiative to further reduce costs and employee headcount. The second cost reduction initiative included the following: (i) a workforce reduction of approximately 20 employees, or approximately 8% of the Company’s workforce at the time; and (ii) significant salary reductions for several executives, effective commencing with the October 16th payroll through December 31, 2015, including those described further below. The Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.1 million from severance costs related to the second cost reduction initiative during the month ended October 31, 2015. Both of these workforce reductions are expected to reduce annual operating costs by approximately $5.7 million. The Company does not believe that these cost reduction initiatives will negatively impact its ability to serve its customers.

On October 13, 2015, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Alan D. Shortall, entered into an amendment to his employment agreement with the Company (the “Shortall Amendment”). Pursuant to the Shortall Amendment, Mr. Shortall agreed to a 100% reduction of his base salary and the elimination of Mr. Shortall’s car allowance through December 31, 2015.

On October 13, 2015, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, David Hastings, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Ramin Mojdeh, the Company’s General Counsel and Secretary, John Ryan, and the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer, Dennis Pyers, each entered into amendments to their respective employment agreements with the Company (the “Executive Amendments”). Pursuant to their respective Executive Amendments, Mr. Hastings, Dr. Modjeh, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Pyers agreed to a 50% reduction of their respective base salaries through December 31, 2015. Additionally, under their respective Executive Amendments, Mr. Hastings, Dr. Mojdeh and Mr. Ryan agreed to the elimination of Company-provided automobiles or automobile allowances through December 31, 2015, and Dr. Mojdeh agreed to the elimination of temporary relocation housing payments by the Company through December 31, 2015.

 

On November 9, 2015, the Company entered into and closed a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Fund”). Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to the Fund 790 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a 5% original issue discount and at a purchase price of $10,000 per share for total gross proceeds to the Company of $7.5 million. The Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were offered and sold in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement (File No. 333-197122), which was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 3, 2014. See note 5 “Equity Transactions and Share-Based Compensation” for more information regarding the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

On July 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “New Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has issued 380,011 shares for net proceeds of $4.6 million under the New Sales Agreement.

On July 29, 2015, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, to LPC up to $45.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock through July 2017, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement. Through December 31, 2015, the Company issued 324,465 shares of common stock to LPC and received net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million after expenses.

Under the terms of the LPC Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to obtain the consent of LPC prior to completing the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company obtained such consent on November 9, 2015 and contemporaneously issued a five-year warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of Common Stock to LPC at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Company performed a Black-Scholes valuation on the warrant and valued the warrant at $5.40 per share of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company recorded $0.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015 associated with the issuance of the warrant as a component of redeemable convertible preferred stock issuance cost.

On September 2, 2015, Unilife announced that in response to third-party initiated expressions of interest, the Company’s Board of Directors had engaged Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to conduct a review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value (the “Strategic Process”). As more fully set forth below, this process is continuing. There can be no assurance that this exploration process will result in any initiatives, agreements or transactions that will enhance shareholder value.

On December 2, 2015, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for the 30 consecutive business days ended December 1, 2015, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 31, 2016, to regain compliance. If at any time before May 31, 2016, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) within the initial 180-calendar day compliance period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it transfers the listing of its common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market, provided that it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the minimum bid price requirement) and provides written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the additional 180-day compliance period. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq Staff that the Company will not be able to cure such deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible or does not submit an application requesting the additional compliance period, the Nasdaq Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting.

The Company is actively monitoring its performance with respect to the listing standards and is currently considering available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), including, without limitation, the Strategic Process.

 

On December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement (the “Exclusivity Agreement”) with Amgen Inc. (the “Counterparty”). The Exclusivity Agreement was entered into in connection with the previously announced Strategic Process by the Company of potential strategic alternatives, including a strategic partnership with one or more parties or the licensing of some of the Company’s proprietary technologies (a “Potential Transaction”). Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, the Company agreed to negotiate a Potential Transaction exclusively with the Counterparty until the earlier of January 31, 2016 or the Counterparty notifies the Company in writing that it has ceased to consider a Potential Transaction (the “Exclusivity Period”). Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, the Counterparty paid to the Company a non-refundable $15.0 million deposit (the “Deposit”) as consideration for non-exclusive and exclusive rights and licenses provided for in the Exclusivity Agreement. On January 31, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Exclusivity Amendment”) to the Exclusivity Agreement. The Exclusivity Amendment extended the Exclusivity Period until 11:59 PM U.S. Pacific Time on Friday, February 5, 2016 while the parties continue in good faith to negotiate a definitive agreement. On February 5, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Exclusivity Amendment”) to the Exclusivity Agreement with the Counterparty. The Second Exclusivity Amendment extends the Exclusivity Period until 11:59 PM U.S. Pacific Time on Monday, February 15, 2016 while the parties continue in good faith to negotiate a definitive agreement.

As of February 5, 2016, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $13.2 million, including restricted cash of $2.3 million. The Company believes its cash and restricted cash will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to fund the Company’s operations only to March 31, 2016. However, the Company may raise additional capital through other sources, including through the New Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co and through the LPC Purchase Agreement. The Company is also pursuing the Strategic Process. If the Company is able to complete a strategic transaction, the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to operate the business through at least 12 months from the date of the consolidated financial statements included in this report. In addition, the Company may also pursue alternative sources of financing. However, the Company does not have any guaranteed sources of financing and there can be no assurance that cash from customer agreements or proceeds from the LPC Purchase Agreement or the New Sales Agreement will be available when needed, as such sources of liquidity are not entirely within its control. If it is unable to obtain additional financing or engage in a strategic transaction on acceptable terms and when needed, the Company may default under one or more of its debt obligations. A breach of any of the covenants related to its debt instruments could result in a higher rate of interest to be paid or the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the applicable agreements to be immediately due and payable. If the lenders were to make such a demand for repayment, the Company would be unable to pay the obligations as it does not have existing facilities or sufficient cash on hand to satisfy these obligations. These factors, and the factors described above, continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company continues to have discussions with current and prospective customers for many active programs in its commercial pipeline and has executed several agreements featuring a combination of revenue streams and cash payments, including exclusivity fees, device customization programs and product sales. Given the substantial size, complexity and long-term duration of many of these prospective agreements, some can take a significant time to negotiate and finalize.
