Commitments and Contingencies

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Indemnifications — In the ordinary course of its business, the Company makes certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. The Company, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its Bylaws, indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future

amounts paid. The Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company accrues for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. No such losses have been recorded to date.

Litigation — The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. As of September 30, 2021, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and no accrual has been recorded. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage to protect the Company’s assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s policy is to accrue for legal expenses in connection with legal proceedings and claims as they are incurred.

Contingencies — In July 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with the Milestone Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company granted the Milestone Rights to receive payments up to $90.0 million upon the occurrence of specified strategic and sales milestones, $65.0 million of which remains payable upon achievement of such milestones (see Note 6 – Borrowings). The fair value of the Milestone Rights is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, including $1.1 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $4.8 million in milestone rights liability.

Commitments — In July 2014, the Company entered into the Insulin Supply Agreement with Amphastar pursuant to which Amphastar manufactures for and supplies to the Company certain quantities of recombinant human insulin for use in Afrezza. Under the terms of the Insulin Supply Agreement, Amphastar is responsible for manufacturing the insulin in accordance with the Company’s specifications and agreed-upon quality standards.

 

In May 2021, the Company and Amphastar amended the Insulin Supply Agreement to extend the term and restructure the annual purchase commitments. In connection with the amendment, the Company agreed to pay $2.0 million of amendment fees, which were recognized in cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The remaining purchase commitments as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 (pre-amendment) were as follows:

Pursuant to the amendment, the term of the Insulin Supply Agreement expires on December 31, 2027, unless terminated earlier, and can be renewed for additional, successive two-year terms upon 12 months’ written notice given prior to the end of the initial term or any additional two-year term. The Company and Amphastar each have normal and customary termination rights, including termination for a material breach that is not cured within a specific time frame or in the event of liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. In addition, the Company may terminate the Insulin Supply Agreement upon two years’ prior written notice to Amphastar without cause or upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Amphastar if a controlling regulatory authority withdraws approval for Afrezza, provided, however, in the event of a termination pursuant to either of the latter two scenarios, the provisions of the Insulin Supply Agreement require the Company to pay the full amount of all unpaid purchase commitments due over the initial term within 60 calendar days of the effective date of such termination.

Warrants – In August 2019, in connection with the MidCap credit facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,171,614 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price equal to $1.11 per share, to the lenders. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the third amendment to the MidCap credit facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 111,853 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.91 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, MidCap exercised all outstanding warrants (see Note 6 – Borrowings).

 

Vehicle Leases – During the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a master lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management Inc. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 50 vehicles were retired and 37 of those vehicles were replaced, resulting in a fleet size of 76 vehicles. No gain or loss was recorded. The revised monthly payment inclusive of maintenance fees, insurance and taxes is approximately $0.1 million and the additional right of use asset and lease obligation is approximately $0.5 million in the consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Office Leases — In May 2017, the Company executed an office lease with Russell Ranch Road II LLC for the Company’s corporate headquarters in Westlake Village, California. The office lease commenced in August 2017. The Company agreed to pay initial monthly lease payments of $40,951, subject to 3% annual increases, plus the estimated cost of maintaining the property and common areas by the landlord, with a five-month concession from October 2017 through February 2018.  The lease also provides for allowances for tenant alterations and maintenance. The lease expires in January 2023 and provides the Company with a five-year renewal option. The lease expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In November 2017, the Company executed an office lease with Russell Ranch Road II LLC to expand the office space for the Company’s corporate headquarters in Westlake Village, California. The office lease commenced in October 2018. The Company agreed to pay initial monthly lease payments of $35,969, subject to a 3% annual increase, plus the estimated operating cost of maintaining the property by the landlord, which are allocable based an annual assessment made by the landlord. In addition, the Company received reimbursement from the landlord of $56,325 for tenant improvements and was not required to pay a first-year common area maintenance fee. The lease expires in January 2023 and provides the Company with a five-year renewal option.
