Equity [Abstract]

Equity

13. Equity

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue 730,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding were 23,944,084 and 22,546,671, respectively.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available, therefore. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of the Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to common stock.

Election of Directors

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, except with respect to the election of directors at the special meeting held in connection with the merger with GX, Class I directors are elected to an initial one-year term (and three-year terms subsequently), the Class II directors are elected to an initial two-year term (and three-year terms subsequently) and the Class III directors are elected to an initial three-year term (and three-year terms subsequently). There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50.0% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Company’s board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Company’s board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Celularity or the removal of existing management. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding preferred stock.

ATM Agreement

On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and B. Riley Securities, Inc., acting as sales agents and/or principals, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the ATM Agreement. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of shares under the ATM Agreement.

Any shares offered and sold in the at-the-market offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and the related prospectus supplement. Under the ATM Agreement, the sales agents may sell shares of common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company will pay the sales agents a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any shares sold and has agreed to provide the sales agents with customary indemnification, contribution and reimbursement rights. The ATM Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the placements of the shares pursuant thereto.

During the three months ending March 31, 2025, no shares were issued under the ATM Agreement, which remains in effect and available for future issuances at the Company’s discretion.

Registered Direct Offerings

On April 10, 2023, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 923,076 shares of its Class A common stock together with warrants (“Registered Direct Warrants”) to purchase up to 923,076 shares of its Class A common stock at a combined purchase price of $6.50 per share and accompanying warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $6,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Registered Direct Warrants had an exercise price of $7.50, became exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Company used the $5,505 net proceeds from the offering to repay its obligations to Yorkville under the PPA. The Company considered the appropriate accounting guidance and concluded that the Registered Direct Warrants qualified for liability treatment and therefore recorded the warrant liability at fair value $4,280 which was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remainder of the net proceeds were allocated to the Class A common stock issued and recorded as a component of equity.

Upon the closing of the registered direct offering on April 10, 2023, the Company amended the existing May 2022 PIPE Warrants, to reduce the exercise price from $82.50 to $7.50 per share and extended the expiration date to five and one-half years following the closing of the offering or October 10, 2028. The modification resulted in the recognition of additional warrant liability of $1,389 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the modification date.

On July 31, 2023, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 857,142 shares of its Class A common stock together with warrants (“July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants”) to purchase up to 857,142 shares of its Class A common stock at a combined purchase price of $3.50 per share and accompanying warrant, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $3,000 before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants have an exercise price of $3.50, will be exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Company used the $2,740 net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company considered the appropriate accounting guidance and concluded that the July 2023 Registered Direct Warrants qualified for liability treatment, and therefore, recorded the warrant liability at fair value $2,645 which was based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The remainder of the net proceeds were allocated to the Class A common stock issued and recorded as a component of equity.

In connection with the July 31, 2023 registered direct offering described above, the Company also entered into an amendment to certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 892,856 shares at an exercise price of $7.50 (consisting of all the May 2022 PIPE Warrants and a portion of the Registered Direct Warrants issued in April 2023), and such amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $3.50 per share. As noted above, the modification resulted in an increase to the warrant liability of $511 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the July 31, 2023, modification date.

May 2023 PIPE

On May 18, 2023, the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement with a group of accredited investors, providing for the private placement of an aggregate (i) 581,394 shares of its Class A common stock and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 581,394 shares of Class A common stock (the “May 2023 PIPE Warrants”), for $5.20 per share and $1.25 per accompanying May 2023 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $3,750. Each May 2023 PIPE Warrant has an exercise price of $10.00 per share, is immediately exercisable, will expire on May 17, 2028, and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The May 2023 PIPE Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) would exceed the specified percentage cap provided therein (which may be adjusted upon 61 days advance notice) immediately after exercise thereof. The Company evaluated the May 2023 PIPE Warrants under ASC 815 and determined that they did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the proceeds were allocated between common stock and the May 2023 PIPE Warrants at their respective relative fair value basis to stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the May 2023 PIPE Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on the closing date share price and were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

January 2024 PIPE

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an existing investor, Dragasac Limited (“Dragasac”), providing for the private placement of (i) 2,141,098 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Class A common stock, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 535,274 shares of Class A common stock (“January 2024 PIPE Warrant”), for $2.4898 per share and $1.25 per accompanying January 2024 PIPE Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,000. The closing of the private placement occurred on January 16, 2024. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offer and sale of the shares and January 2024 PIPE Warrant (including the shares underlying the January 2024 PIPE Warrant) have not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Each January 2024 PIPE Warrant has an exercise price of $2.49 per share, is immediately exercisable, and will expire on January 16, 2029 (five years from the date of issuance).

The Company accounted for the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and common stock as a single non-arm’s length transaction recognized in equity. The Company applied guidance for this transaction in accordance with ASU 2020-06, (Subtopic 470-20): Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Accordingly, the net proceeds were allocated between common stock and the January 2024 PIPE Warrant at their respective fair values, which resulted in proceeds of $909 allocated to the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and the balance of the proceeds allocated to the common stock. The fair value of the January 2024 PIPE Warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the common stock based on closing date share price. The Company evaluated the January 2024 PIPE warrant under ASC 815 and determined that it did not require liability classification and met the requirements for a derivative scope exception under ASC 815-10-15-74(a) for instruments that are both indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Also, in connection with the January 2024 PIPE transaction, the Company repriced legacy warrants held by Dragasac to purchase 652,981 shares of common stock with a previous exercise price of $67.70 per share to a new exercise price of $2.49 per share. The modification of warrants resulted in incremental fair value of $524, which has been recognized as an equity issuance cost and had no net impact on stockholders’ equity as the warrants remain equity-classified after the modification.

In connection with the execution of the securities purchase agreement, the Company also entered into an investor rights agreement with Dragasac dated as of January 12, 2024. The investor rights agreement provides Dragasac certain information and audit rights, as well as registration rights with respect to the shares (and shares underlying the January 2024 PIPE Warrant), including both the undertaking to file a registration statement within 45 days of filing of the 2023 Form 10-K, “piggyback” registration rights, as well as the right to request up to three demand rights for underwritten offerings per year; in each case subject to customary “underwriter cutback” language as well as any objections raised by the SEC to inclusion of securities. If the initial registration statement was not filed on or prior to May 15, 2024, the investor rights agreement provides for partial liquidating damages equal to 1.0% of the subscription amount each month, up to a maximum of 6.0%, plus interest thereon accruing daily at a rate of 18.0% per annum. The Company began to accrue partial liquidating damages and interest as of May 22, 2024. The total amount accrued for liquidated damages was $418, contained in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As a condition to closing, the Company entered into an amendment to an amended and restated distribution and manufacturing agreement with an affiliate of Dragasac to add cell therapy products in clinical development, investigational stage and/or in near-term commercial use to the list of products under the scope of the exclusive distribution and manufacturing licenses (including unmodified natural killer cells (such as CYNK-001) for aging and other non-oncology indications, PSC-100, PDA-001, PDA-002, pEXO and APPL-001 for regenerative indications).

On January 24, 2025, Celularity Inc. (the “Company”) agreed with the holder of warrants dated January 16, 2024 to purchase 535,274 shares of Class A common stock (the “2024 Warrant” referred to as PIPE Warrants above) and warrants dated January 9, 2020, as amended, to purchase 652,981 shares of Class A common stock (the “2020 Warrant” referred to as A&R Warrants above, and together with the 2024 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to amend the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.07 per share from $2.49 per share and the holder agreed to exercise the Warrants for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.46 million. The modification was not entered into in connection with any new financing or bundled debt arrangement.

The Company evaluated the accounting for the modification and concluded that the transaction constituted an inducement. In the absence of specific authoritative guidance for inducements of equity-classified warrants, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 260-10-S99 and ASC 470-20-40-13 through 40-17 by analogy, which addresses similar inducement transactions for equity-classified convertible preferred stock.

In accordance with this guidance, the Company recognized an inducement equal to the incremental fair value conveyed to the warrant holders, measured as the difference between the fair value of the modified warrants and the fair value of the original warrants immediately prior to the modification. The inducement was recorded as an adjustment to net loss to arrive at loss available to common stockholders in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 in the amount of $64.

Warrant Modifications

On January 12, 2024, in connection with the January 2024 PIPE, the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of legacy warrants held by Dragasac to purchase 652,981 shares of common stock, which expired March 16, 2025, from $67.70 per share to $2.49 per share. On January 24, 2025, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of both the January 2024 PIPE Warrant and legacy warrants held by Dragasac from $2.49 per share to $2.07 per share. See Warrants section below for additional information. On March 13, 2024, in connection with the RWI Forbearance Agreement (see Note 10), the Company agreed to issue RWI a warrant to acquire up to 300,000 shares of common stock, which expires June 20, 2028, and has an exercise price of $5.90 per share. Additionally, on March 13, 2024, in connection with the Starr Forbearance Agreement (see Note 10), the Company agreed to amend the exercise price of the 75,000 March 2023 Loan Warrants expiring March 17, 2028 from $7.10 per share to $5.90 per share (the “Minimum Price” as determined pursuant to Nasdaq 5635(d) on March 13, 2024) and the 50,000 June 2023 Warrants expiring June 20, 2028 from $8.10 per share to $5.90 per share, each of which are held by C.V. Starr.

On February 12, 2025, the Company entered into binding term sheets with (i) RWI and (ii) C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. in connection with amendments to existing loan arrangements and extensions of forbearance agreements.

Under the RWI agreement, the maturity date of the Company’s senior secured loans aggregating $27.0 million (net of $3.75 million original issue discount) was extended to February 15, 2026. The Company will use proceeds from its next registered public offering to pay approximately $1.3 million of accrued and unpaid interest through January 31, 2025, and issued to RWI, on July 24, 2025, a new five-year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to the “New RWI Exercise Price” (as defined in the agreement), subject to a floor of $1.50 per share. In addition, the exercise price of certain outstanding RWI warrants was repriced based on a formula tied to the July 24, 2025 closing price, with similar $1.50 per share floor and existing exercise price cap provisions.

Under the Starr agreement, the maturity date of Starr’s $5.0 million loan (net of $0.1 million original issue discount) was extended to February 15, 2026. The Company will use proceeds from its next registered public offering to pay approximately $0.8 million of accrued and unpaid interest through January 31, 2025, and issued Starr a new five-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price equal to the “Starr New Exercise Price” (as defined in the agreement), subject to a $1.50 per share floor. The exercise price of certain outstanding Starr warrants was repriced to 10% below the Nasdaq closing price on the amendment date, subject to the same floor and existing exercise price cap provisions.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On March 13, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into a SEPA. Under the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $10,000 of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time, over a 36-month period. Sales of the common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville, in certain circumstances as described below.

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the SEPA, which include having a resale shelf for shares of common stock issued to Yorkville declared effective, the Company has the right to direct Yorkville to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock by delivering written notice (“Advance”). An Advance may not exceed 100% of the average of the daily trading volume of the common stock on Nasdaq, during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the written notice.

Yorkville will generally purchase shares pursuant to an Advance at a price per share equal to 97% of the VWAP, on Nasdaq during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the written notice (unless the Company specifies a minimum acceptable price or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day).

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Yorkville shall have made payment for shares of common stock equal to $10,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding advances for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Yorkville convertible promissory note (the “Initial Advance”) (see Note 10) has been paid in full. The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.

As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA, the Company paid Yorkville a $25 cash due diligence fee and a commitment fee equal to 16,964 shares of common stock. The Company recorded direct issuance costs of $125 inclusive of the commitment shares as other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss.

In connection with the entry into the SEPA, on March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC no later than May 3, 2024, a registration statement for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA (including the commitment fee shares). The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within 45 days of such filing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the 36-month commitment period. The Company will not have the ability to request any Advances under the SEPA (nor may Yorkville convert the Initial Advance into common stock) until such resale registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. The Company has not yet filed a registration statement with the SEC for the resale by Yorkville of the shares of common stock issued under the SEPA, which is deemed an event of default under the SEPA and as a result, the interest rate on the on the Yorkville convertible promissory note (see Note 10) increased to 18.0%.

The Company determined that the SEPA should be accounted for as a derivative measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Because the Company has not yet filed a registration statement and no shares can currently be issued under the SEPA, the SEPA is deemed to have no value as of the issuance date and as of March 31, 2025.

On March 17, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Yorkville to extend the maturity date of the convertible promissory note from March 13, 2025 to May 12, 2025. In addition, Yorkville agreed not to declare an event of default until May 12, 2025 (the “Forbearance”). In connection with the maturity date extension and Forbearance, the Company issued Yorkville 100,000 shares of its Class A common stock valued at $149 at the time of issuance. The shares of Class A common stock were issued with piggyback registration rights such that the resale of such shares by Yorkville are to be included on any such registration statement filed by the Company following the issuance.

The number of Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants outstanding was not adjusted for the reverse stock split. There are 14,374,478 Public Warrants and 8,499,999 Sponsor Warrants outstanding. After the reverse stock split, the number of warrants outstanding remains the same. However, each outstanding warrant is now exercisable for one-tenth of a share of Class A common stock, and the exercise price per share was adjusted to $115.00 as a result of the split.

In connection with the execution of the Starr Forbearance Agreement on March 13, 2024, described above under Warrant Modification and further in Note 10, the Company agreed to reprice 75,000 warrants with a previous exercise price of $7.10 and 50,000 warrants with a previous exercise price of $8.10 held by C.V. Starr to a new exercise price of $5.90. The term of the warrants was unchanged.
