Description of the Business and Financial Condition Description of the Business and Financial Condition
Angion Biomedica Corp. (“Angion” or, the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company that has focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel small molecule therapeutics to address acute organ injuries and fibrotic diseases. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1998.
Initial Public Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement
On February 9, 2021, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252177) relating to its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock became effective. The IPO closed on February 9, 2021 at which time the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $16.00 per share, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares of common stock. In addition to the shares being sold in the IPO, the Company sold an additional 1,562,500 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $16.00 per share to entities affiliated with Vifor International, Ltd., an existing stockholder (the “Concurrent Private Placement”) for gross proceeds of $25.0 million.
The IPO and Concurrent Private Placement generated aggregate net proceeds of approximately $107.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, private placement fee and offering expenses payable by the Company.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock and outstanding convertible notes automatically converted into shares of common stock. Subsequent to the closing of the IPO, there were no shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding and there were no convertible notes outstanding. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company restated its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the authorized capital stock to 300,000,000 shares designated as common stock, and 10,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share and $0.01 per share, respectively.
Reduction in Force
On January 4, 2022, the Company announced a reduction in force impacting somewhat less than half of its employees. The Company’s decision to engage in this reduction resulted from an assessment of its internal resources needs, given the results of the Phase 3 study of ANG-3777 in patients at risk for delayed graft function (DGF) would likely not support a regulatory approval in that population and the Phase 2 study in acute kidney injury associated with cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CSA-AKI) would not support a Phase 3 trial in that indication. This reduction was a cost-cutting measure across the organization to support the Company’s 2022 primary focus on the clinical development of its investigational asset ANG-3070, a highly selective, oral tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor in development as a treatment for fibrotic diseases, as well as advancing preclinical assets to IND-enabling studies. In connection with the reduction in force, the Company incurred termination costs, which include severance, benefits, and related costs of approximately $3.2 million, which are in restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company paid $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and expects to pay the remaining $1.0 million on or before September 2023.
On July 25, 2022, the Company announced a process to explore strategic options for enhancing and preserving shareholder value (the “2022 Strategic Realignment”). Potential strategic options to be explored or evaluated as part of the process may include, but are not limited to merger, reverse merger, other business combination, sale of assets, licensing, or other strategic transactions. In connection with the 2022 Strategic Realignment, the Company also announced the discontinuation of development of ANG-3070 for all indications and the discontinuation of most other development activities pending conclusion of the strategic process. In connection with the foregoing, the Company also announced an additional reduction in force of the majority of its 37 employees. This reduction in force, expected to be completed by the end of 2022, is a cash preservation measure and impacts employees across the organization. In connection with the reduction in force, the Company recorded a charge of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The Company paid $1.7 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2022 and expects to pay the remaining $1.1 million on or before December 2022. These charges are primarily one-time termination benefits payable in cash.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts and financial resources to conducting research and development activities, including drug discovery and pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, establishing and maintaining its intellectual property portfolio, organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $55.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $247.5 million.
The Company has evaluated and concluded there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year following the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and believes its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet the projected operating requirements for at least 12 months following the issuance date of its condensed consolidated financial statements.
