Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company is authorized to issue two classes of shares: preferred and common stock. The preferred stock may be issued in series, and the Company’s board of directors is authorized to determine the rights, preferences, and terms of each series. As a result of the IPO in June 2020, in which all convertible preferred stock was converted into common shares of the Company, there was no outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock as of September 30, 2020. The following is a summary of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands except share amounts):

Series A Preferred

In August 2015, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell, and the purchasers agreed to purchase up to $45.0 million of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) in three anticipated tranches based on the achievement of defined performance milestones. The Series A Preferred stockholders may not assign the rights to purchase shares of Series A Preferred at any future milestone closing tranches separately without a transfer of already purchased shares. The Company determined that these future tranche obligations did not meet the definition of a freestanding financial instrument because, while separately exercisable, they were not legally detachable. Further, the Company determined that the embedded future tranche obligation did not require bifurcation for accounting purposes as it was clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the Series A Preferred and would not meet the definition of a derivative on a standalone basis.

Under the Series A Purchase Agreement, as part of the initial closing, the Company issued 6.5 million shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $6.4 million and the conversion of convertible promissory notes in the amount of $0.1 million representing outstanding principal and accrued interest.

In April 2016, the Company issued 5.0 million shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $5.0 million in an additional closing of the first tranche. The final closing of the first tranche occurred in September of 2016, when the Company issued 5.0 million additional shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $5.0 million.

In February 2017, the Company issued 8.0 million shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $8.0 million in a closing of the second tranche.

In July 2017, the Company issued 12.0 million shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $12.0 million in an initial closing of the third tranche.

In January 2018, the Company issued 8.5 million shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $8.5 million in an additional closing of the third tranche.

In March 2018, based on the amendment to the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 11.0 million additional shares of Series A Preferred at $1.00 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of $11.0 million in the final closing of the third tranche.

Series B Preferred

In July 2018, the Company entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series B Purchase Agreement”) in which it agreed to sell, and the purchasers agreed to purchase, up to $70.0 million of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”). Under the Series B Purchase Agreement, the Company initially issued 45.1 million shares of Series B Preferred at $1.3767 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of approximately $62.1 million.

In November 2018, the Company issued 4.4 million additional shares of Series B Preferred at $1.3767 per share in exchange for cash proceeds of approximately $6.0 million.

Series C Preferred

In December 2019, the Company entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) in which it agreed to sell, and the purchasers agreed to purchase, up to $80.5 million of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”). Under the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Company initially issued 26.4 million shares of Series C Preferred at $1.83 per share in exchange for aggregate cash proceeds of $48.2 million. Novartis purchased 10.9 million shares of this allotment of Series C Preferred at $1.83 per share for cash proceeds of $20.0 million. Novartis became a related party following its purchase of 10.9 million shares of our Series C Preferred. Novartis holdings represent of 6.1% and 7.4% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. See Note 14 for additional information.

In February 2020, the Company issued an additional 28.5 million additional shares of Series C Preferred at $1.83 per share in exchange for gross cash proceeds of $52.2 million and incurred $0.2 of issuance costs.

The Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”) had the following rights and privileges:

Voting

Each holder of shares of Preferred Stock were entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares could have been converted and had voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock, and except as provided by law or by other provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, could have voted together with the common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis on all matters as to which holders of common stock have the right to vote.

The holders of Series A Preferred, voting separately as a single class, were entitled to elect two members of the Company’s board of directors. At any time when at least 12.5 million shares of Series B Preferred were outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred were entitled to elect one member of the Company’s board of directors. The holders of shares of common stock, voting separately as a single class, were entitled to elect one member of the Company’s board of directors. All remaining members of the Company’s board of directors were elected by the holders of the common stock and Preferred Stock voting together as a single class.

Conversion

Shares of the Preferred Stock were convertible at any time at the option of the holder into such number of shares as is determined by dividing the original issuance price by the conversion price in effect at the time. The conversion price was the original issuance price for each series of Preferred Stock, as adjusted for the 1-for-7.15 reverse stock split of the Common Stock. Following such adjustment, the per-share conversion price was $7.15 for Series A Preferred, $9.843405 for Series B Preferred and $13.0845 for Series C Preferred, subject to certain adjustments.

All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock converted to shares of common stock upon the completion of the Company’s IPO.

Dividends

The holders of Series A Preferred were originally entitled to receive cumulative dividends from their respective dates of issuance at the rate of 8.0% on their original issue price. In July 2018, in conjunction with the execution of the Series B Purchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred accreted dividends were cancelled.

Under the Series B Purchase Agreement, the holders of both shares of Series A and Series B Preferred were entitled to receive cumulative dividends commencing on July 10, 2018, the issuance date of Series B Preferred, at an annual rate of 8.0% on their original issuance price. The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred dividends accrue from day-to-day, whether declared or not, and were payable only when and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. As such, the Company recorded accretion charges to adjust the carrying values of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred to their redemption values up until the date the Series C Purchase Agreement was executed. In December 2019, in conjunction with the execution of the Series C Purchase agreement, the Series A preferred and Series B preferred accreted dividends were cancelled.

Under the Series C Purchase Agreement, the holders of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred were entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends commencing on December 19, 2019 at an annual rate of 8.0% on their original issuance price. The Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred dividends accrue from day-to-day, whether declared or not, and were payable only when and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. Since inception, the Company has never declared or paid any dividends.

Liquidation Preferences

The holders of all shares of preferred stock were entitled to receive dividends prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock.

Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company or a deemed liquidation event as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of shares of Series C and Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, a per share amount equal to the Series C purchase price of $1.83 (plus any declared but unpaid dividends) and equal to the original Series B purchase of $1.3767 (plus any declared but unpaid dividends), collectively (the “Series C and Series B Liquidation Preference”) or such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series C and Series B been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation event. The payment of Series C and Series B Liquidation Preference was to be made before any payment made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Thereafter, the Series A Preferred holders were entitled to receive their liquidation preference before any distributions were made to common stockholders, a per share amount equal to $1.00 (plus any declared but unpaid dividends) (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”) or such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A had been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation event. After payments of the full liquidation preferences of the Series C and Series B Liquidation Preference and the Series A Liquidation Preference described above, any remaining assets of the Company would have been distributed to the holders of the common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that they held.

Redemption

The Series A Preferred were redeemable at any time on or after five years from August 19, 2015, the original issuance date of the 6.5 million shares of Series A Preferred, upon receipt of a written notice from the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred. The initial redemption price was the greater of (i) the Series A Preferred original issuance price per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared by the board of directors, and (ii) the fair market value of Series A Preferred as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred then outstanding.

In July 2018, in conjunction with the execution of the Series B Preferred Purchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred redemption provision was amended as follows:

All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the original issuance price per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid in three annual installments commencing not more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company at any time on or after five years from the Series B Preferred original issuance date, July 10, 2018, a written notice from the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock.

The Company accounted for the changes in Series A Preferred redemption provision as a modification as there was no significant difference in Series A Preferred fair value before and after the modification.

In December 2019, in conjunction with the execution of the Series C Preferred Purchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred redemption provisions were modified as follows:

All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the original issuance price per share, plus any dividends declared but unpaid, in three annual installments commencing not more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company at any time on or after five years from the Series C Preferred original issuance date, December 19, 2019, a written notice from the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock.

The Company accounted for the changes in Series A Preferred redemption and Series B Preferred redemption provisions as a modification as there was no significant difference in Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred fair values before and after the modification.
