Convertible notes

As discussed in Note 10, Convertible Notes, the Company issued Notes in March 2018. The Schuler Family Foundation (the “Foundation”) purchased an aggregate of $30.0 million of the Notes in the March 2018 offering on the same terms as those under which other investors purchased the Notes, although no discount or commission in respect of such notes purchased by the Foundation was paid by the Company to the initial purchasers of the Notes. During 2019, the Foundation purchased an additional $12.0 million of Notes on the open market. Jack W. Schuler, a member of our Board, is the President of the Foundation.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Foundation transferred by gift the $42.0 million aggregate
principal amount of Notes held by the Foundation to the Schuler Initiative Supporting Charitable Trust (the “Supporting Organization”), a tax-exempt organization that is not an affiliate of Jack W. Schuler.

In connection with the exchange transactions discussed in Note 19, Stockholders' Equity, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Supporting Organization exchanged $42.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes held by it for 5,428,699 shares of the Company's common stock. Using the closing stock price on September 22, 2021 of $5.81, the 5,428,699 shares of the Company's common stock were determined to have a value of $31.5 million which was recorded to contributed capital during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Supporting Organization had the same or similar terms as the other holders of Notes that participated in the Exchange Transactions. The Company determined the Exchange Transactions were in accordance with extinguishment accounting and were accounted for as an extinguishment of debt opposed to a capital transaction.
