Exchanged Convertible Notes

Related to the Convertible Note Exchange (See Note 9, Debt) in the first quarter of 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $10.5 million in cash and issued an aggregate of approximately 7.0 million shares of its common stock in the transactions. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the shares of its common stock but recognized additional paid-in capital of $28.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the common stock share issuance, net of approximately $1.6 million of unamortized issuance costs related to the Exchanged Notes.

At-The-Market Program

The Company is party to a sales agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) as sales agent to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, from time to time, through an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering program having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. As a result of the issuance of the 2027 Convertible Notes (See Note 9, Debt), the Company has determined to suspend use of its ATM offering program. Prior to suspending the ATM offering program, 2,463,637 shares had been issued and settled at an average price of $3.02, through which the Company received gross proceeds of $7.4 million, and net proceeds after commission and fees of $7.0 million.

Warrant Agreements

Upon the Zyla Merger, the Company assumed Zyla’s outstanding warrants which provided the holder the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were exercisable at any time at an exercise price of $0.0016 per share, subject to certain ownership limitations including, with respect to Iroko Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its affiliates, that no such exercise may increase the aggregate ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock of such parties above 49% of the number of shares of its common stock then outstanding for a period of 18 months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 0.4 million warrants were exercised, and 0.4 million of the Company’s common shares, were issued by the Company. Subsequent to these warrant exercises in the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding warrants remaining.
