15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2019 through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

Strategic Partnership

 

On March 16, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed a non-cash transaction with Poplar Healthcare to establish a strategic partnership that includes the acquisition of the customer base OncoMetrix, Poplar’s hematopathology division. Precipio will assume responsibility for OncoMetrix’s customer base and associated revenues which should provide a substantial improvement to the Company’s laboratory economies of scale. As part of the transaction, three sales representatives of OncoMetrix have transitioned to Precipio. The transition of the customer based involved no exchange of cash or equity with Poplar Healthcare.

 

Purchase Agreement

 

On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “LP 2020 Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “LP 2020 Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us, from time to time, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, during the 24 month term of the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the LP 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, we will file with the SEC the registration statement on form S-1 in order to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement.

 

As consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 250,000 commitment shares to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee.

 

We do not have the right to commence any sales to Lincoln Park under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement until certain conditions set forth in the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, have been satisfied, including the registration statement on form S-1 being declared effective by the SEC. Thereafter, under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by us, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 50,000 shares of our common stock on any such business day, which we refer to as a Regular Purchase in the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 80,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price is not below $1.00 on the purchase date and (ii) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 100,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price is not below $1.50 on the purchase date.  In each case, the maximum amount of any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1,000,000 per purchase.  Lincoln Park has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of common stock to Lincoln Park, but Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases as we direct, subject to certain conditions. The purchase price for Regular Purchases shall be equal to the lesser of: (i) the lowest sale price of the common shares during the purchase date, or (ii) the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of the common shares during the ten (10) business days prior to the purchase date.

 

Convertible Note Amendment

 

On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “March 2020 Amendment”) amending the terms of that certain Amendment No. 2 Agreement dated April 16, 2019 and the securities purchase agreement dated May 14, 2019.  As a result of the March 2020 amendment, (i) the maturity date of the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was extended three months from April 16, 2020 to July 16, 2020, (ii) the floor price at which conversions may occur under the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was amended from $2.25 to $0.40, and (iii) guaranteed interest on the April 2019 Bridge Notes and the May 2019 Bridge Notes was amended from twelve months to eighteen months.
