Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized, Issued, and Outstanding Common Shares

The Company’s authorized common stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and consists of 100,000,000 shares as of December 31, 2021 and 2020; 28,705,334 and 19,663,698 shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.  On June 18, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 125,000,000 to 250,000,000.  On July 16, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective on Friday, July 17, 2020, (a) implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and (b) decreasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.  

The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split effected a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split.

Preferred Stock

On May 7, 2014, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation relating to its approved capital structure. The Company’s board of directors has authorized the Company, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. The Company’s board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The Company’s board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

December 2020 Public Offering

On December 17, 2020, the Company completed a public offering (the “December 2020 Public Offering”) of its common stock and warrants pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration.  The Company sold an aggregate of (a) 8,340,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (b) pre-funded warrants, in lieu of common stock, to purchase 5,260,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (c) two series of warrants, which will accompany the common stock or pre-funded warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 13,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The pre-funded warrants entitle the holders to purchase up to 5,260,000 shares of common stock and have an unlimited term and an exercise price of $0.001 per share.  During the year ended December 31, 2021, 2,060,000 of the pre-funded warrants were exercised for proceeds of $2,000.  Each of the two series of warrants entitle the holders to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,800,000 shares of common stock.

The prefunded warrants are classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging given the prefunded warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock and meet the requirements to be classified in

equity.  The prefunded warrants were recorded at their relative fair value at issuance in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet and the prefunded warrants are considered outstanding shares in the basic earnings per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 given their nominal exercise price. 

The Series 1 warrants have a one-year term and an exercise price of $7.33 per share, and Series 2 warrants have a three-and-a-half-year term and an exercise price of $8.25 per share.  There is not expected to be any trading market for the pre-funded warrants, the Series 1 warrants or the Series 2 warrants issued in the offering. Each warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance, subject to certain limitations on beneficial ownership.  The Series 1 and Series 2 warrants that accompany the pre-funded warrants have an additional provision, if certain beneficial ownership limitations are met, entitling the holder thereof to purchase a pre-funded warrant rather than a share of common stock at the warrant exercise price less the exercise price of the pre-funded warrant purchased. The price to the public in the offering was $6.25 per share of common stock and accompanying warrants, or in the case of pre-funded warrants, $6.249 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying warrants. The December 2020 Public Offering resulted in approximately $79.5 million of net proceeds to the Company after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. In June 2021, 360,134 of the December 2020 Series 1 public offering warrants were exercised for proceeds of $2.6 million.

On December 21, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modified exercise price of $6.25 per common share for up to 6,100,000 of the Series 1 warrants.  5,980,800 of the Series 1 warrants were repriced at $6.25 per common share and 3,370,800 were exercised for gross proceeds of $21.1 million which was received by the Company in December 2021.  Of the 3,370,800 warrants exercised by the warrant holders, 2,390,000 warrants were held by 5% beneficial owners of the Company for gross proceeds of $14.9 million.  The 3,370,800 Series 1 warrants were ultimately fair valued with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings.  The resulting fair value of the 3,370,800 was $1.9 million and the Company recognized the change in fair value in earnings of $1.4 million.  On the settlement date, the contractual liability value of $1.9 million for the 3,370,800 Series 1 warrants was derecognized and included in additional paid in capital as part of the settlement.  The remaining Series 1 warrants expired unexercised on December 21, 2021 and the remaining liability balance was derecognized.

 

On November 24, 2021, an investor provided a conversion notice of 160,000 shares for gross proceeds to the Company of $1.2 million which was received in November 2021.  As a result, the 160,000 Series 1 warrants were fair valued with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings.  The resulting fair value of the 160,000 Series 1 warrants was $0.1 million and the Company recognized the change in fair value in earnings of $0.1 million.  On the settlement date, the contractual liability value of $0.1 million for the 160,000 Series 1 warrants was derecognized and included in additional paid in capital as part of the settlement.  

December 2019 Public Offering

On December 12, 2019, the Company completed a public offering (the “December 2019 Public Offering”) of its common stock and warrants pursuant to the Company's effective Shelf Registration.  The Company sold an aggregate of 3,888,888 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,888,888 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $9.00 per share and accompanying warrant.  Net proceeds from the December 2019 Public Offering were approximately $32.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses.  In addition, the Company granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to 583,333 additional shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of an additional 583,333 shares of common stock, in each case at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase 583,333 warrants in December 2019.  The option to purchase up to 583,333 additional shares of common stock was not exercised by the underwriters and the option expired in January 2020.  

The warrants to purchase shares of common stock are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of (i) such date that is six months after the Company publicly announces the approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis and (ii) June 12, 2023, and have an exercise price of $11.0 per share. There is not expected to be any trading market for the warrants. Each warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance, subject to certain limitations on beneficial ownership.  

On November 26, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a modified exercise price of $6.50 per common share for 1,111,111 of the warrants issued to a 5% beneficial owner and investor of the Company and no other terms of the original warrant were modified.  On November 30, 2021, the investor provided a notice to exercise 1,111,111 of 2019 Warrants for proceeds of $7.2 million which was received by the Company on December 1, 2021.  On the settlement date, the contractual liability value of $0.2 million for the 1,111,111 warrants was derecognized and included in additional paid in capital as part of the settlement.  Additionally, on December 2, 2021, the Board of Directors also approved a reduced exercise price of $6.50 per common share for 361,111, 827,777, 194,444, and 111,111 of the warrants issued to certain investors.  On December 2, 2021, one investor provided a notice to exercise 111,111 of the warrants for proceeds of $0.7 million which was received by the Company in December 2021.  As a result, the 111,111 warrants were fair valued on December 2, 2021 with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings.  The resulting fair value of the 111,111 warrants was $19,000 and the Company recognized the change in fair value in earnings of $18,000.  On the settlement date, the contractual liability value of $19,000 for

the 111,111 warrants was derecognized and included in additional paid in capital as part of the settlement.  The remaining 2019 Warrants expired unexercised (including the 2019 Warrants that had a revised exercise price that went unexercised) on December 2, 2021 and the remaining liability balance was derecognized.

March 2018 Public Offering

On March 8, 2018, the Company completed a public offering (the “March 2018 Public Offering”) of its common stock and warrants pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration.  The Company sold an aggregate of 1,775,150 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,130,180 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $16.90 per share.

June 2016 Public Offering

On June 21, 2016, the Company completed a public offering (the “June 2016 Public Offering”) and sold 937,500 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to 421,867 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Each purchaser received a warrant to purchase 0.45 of a share for each share purchased in the June 2016 Public Offering. There was not expected to be any trading market for the warrants. Each warrant was exercisable immediately upon issuance, will expire five years from the date of issuance, and had an exercise price of $30.0 per share.  The June 2016 Public Offering warrants expired in June 2021.

Public Offering Warrant Liabilities

The June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020 warrants contain a provision where the warrant holder has the option to receive cash, equal to the Black-Scholes fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant, as cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined to include various merger, acquisition or stock transfer activities). Due to this provision, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires that these warrants be classified as liabilities. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The June 2016 and December 2020 Series 1 warrant liabilities are recorded as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.  During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $30.4 million and a loss of $5.2 million, respectively, due to the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities.  Issuance costs of $1.9 million and $1.0 million initially allocated to the December 2020 Public Offering and December 2019 Public Offering warrant liabilities, respectively, were written off upon settlement and were recognized in the loss on the fair value adjustment for the warrant liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the warrant liabilities was $18.1 million.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On April 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Aspire Capital from time to time in its sole discretion up to $20.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock over the next 30 months, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  The aggregate number of shares that the Company can sell to Aspire Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 1,956,547 shares of the Company’s common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), including the 70,910 commitment shares (the Exchange Cap), unless either (a) shareholder approval is obtained to issue more, in which case the Exchange Cap will not apply, or (b) the average purchase price of all shares sold under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement exceeds $8.461; provided that at no time shall Aspire Capital (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock.  During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 400,000 shares of its common stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of $2.6 million.

Under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by the Company, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”), directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock per business day, up to $20.0 million of common stock in the aggregate at a per share price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the lesser of:

 

the lowest sale price of Common Stock on the purchase date; or

 

the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

The Company and Aspire Capital also may mutually agree to increase the number of shares that may be sold to as much as an additional 200,000 shares per business day.

In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital in an amount equal to at least 25,000 shares, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on its principal market on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares the Company may determine.  The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is generally the lessor of (i) the closing sale price on the VWAP Purchase Date, or (ii) 97% of the volume-weighted average price for common stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.  

The Purchase Price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the period(s) used to compute the Purchase Price. The Company may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital shall not effect any sales under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of common stock is less than $0.25.  There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and the Company will control the timing and amount of sales of common stock to Aspire Capital.  Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  In consideration for entering into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 70,910 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”).  The fair value of the Commitment Shares of $0.6 million was recognized in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The Common Stock Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its discretion, without any cost to the Company. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds that the Company receives under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Warrant Associated with Danforth Advisors

Pursuant to a consulting agreement with Danforth Advisors (“Danforth”), the Company issued to Danforth a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share.

The warrant was classified as equity and was initially fair valued using the Black-Scholes model on the grant date.  In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognizes consulting expense for the non-employee share-based payment over the 24 months the Company expects to receive Danforth’s services.
