1. Organization and Operations

Everspin Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on May 16, 2008. The Company’s magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) solutions offer the persistence of non-volatile memory with the speed and endurance of random access memory (RAM) and enable the protection of mission critical data particularly in the event of power interruption or failure. The Company’s MRAM products allow its customers in the industrial, automotive and transportation, and enterprise storage markets to design high performance, power efficient and reliable systems without the need for bulky batteries or capacitors.

Reverse Stock Split

In September 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-26 reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, including common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock. All share, option, convertible promissory notes, warrant, and per share information presented in the financial statements has been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented and all share information is rounded down to the nearest whole share after reflecting the stock split.

Initial Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On October 7, 2016, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S‑1 (File No. 333‑213569) relating to the initial public offering, (IPO), of its common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Pursuant to such Registration Statement, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares at an initial public offering price of $8.00 per share for net proceeds of $33.9 million to the Company, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering costs. Concurrent with the IPO, the Company issued 625,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement for net proceeds of $4.7 million, after deducting the placement agent fee.

In connection with the IPO, the following events occurred:

An aggregate of 2,486,199 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock upon the conversion of all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to the closing of the IPO.

The outstanding balance of the convertible promissory notes payable including accrued interest was converted into 1,361,009 shares of common stock.

All of the outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants converted to warrants to purchase shares of common stock upon the closing of the IPO.

Ability to continue as a going concern

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017, coupled with its anticipated growth and sales levels, and proceeds of $24.8 million to the Company, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, but before offering costs from the follow-on underwritten public offering in February 2018, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from March 15, 2018. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its growth rate, the timing and extent of its spending to support research and development activities, the timing and cost of establishing additional sales and marketing capabilities, and the introduction of new products. The Company may be required at some point in the future to seek additional equity or debt financing, to sustain operations beyond that point, and such additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund its operations, it will need to curtail planned activities to reduce costs. Doing so will likely harm its ability to execute on its business plan.
