Note 8. Series X Preferred Stock Liability

In connection with the Acquisition of Aceragen, the Company issued five shares of its Series X. The Series X shares are non-convertible and non-voting and are entitled to discrete development and commercial milestone payments as well as royalty payments on net product sales of ACG-801 for Farber disease. The royalty rates range between low single digits to low double digits and expire, unless terminated earlier, upon the later of the expiration of the last valid claim in the licensed patent rights in such country covering such product and the expiration of data exclusivity in such country for such product.  In addition, the payments due to the holders of the Series X shares are secured by substantially all of the assets related to ACG-801. the underlying products related to ACG-801.

The Company concluded the Series X shares do not represent a residual interest in the Company and are accounted for as debt. The liabilities associated with the Series X shares require the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions, particularly about the achievement of future development and regulatory milestones and future product sales. Such estimates and assumptions are utilized in determining the expected repayment term, accretion of interest expense and classification between current and long-term portions of amounts outstanding. The Company elected to carry the Series X preferred stock liability at fair value, and the debt instrument is outside the scope of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and thus will be classified as a liability under ASC 470,

Debt, in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the Series X represents the present value of estimated future payments, including royalty payments, as well as estimated payments that are contingent upon the achievement of specified milestones. The fair value of the Series X Preferred Stock Liability is based on the cumulative probability of the various estimated payments. The fair value measurement is based on significant Level 3 unobservable inputs such as the probability of achieving the milestones, anticipated timelines, probability and timing of an early redemption of all obligations under the agreement and discount rate. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations until it is settled.
