Acquisition of Bestewil

Note 6. Acquisition of Bestewil

On April 1, 2009 Mymetics and Norwood Immunology Limited (NIL) closed the acquisition of Bestewil Holding B.V. (“Bestewil”) from its parent, NIL, under a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Mymetics agreed to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Bestewil Shares”) of Bestewil from its parent, NIL, and all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Virosome Biologicals B.V. which were held by Bestewil. Mymetics paid NIL E5,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) raised from bridge financing (the “Bridge Loan”) and issued to NIL a convertible redeemable note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of E2,500 due 36 months after the closing date, bearing interest at 5% per annum, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 (“the Conversion Price” since September 2010) and secured by the Company’s pledge of 1/3rd of the Bestewil Shares. The reduction of the Conversion price from $0.80 to $0.50 in September 2010 did not result in an extinguishment and reissuance of the note, nor did it result in a material adjustment in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, Mymetics granted NIL an option to acquire shares of Mymetics common stock equal to the result obtained by dividing $9,609 by the Conversion Price. As part of the Share Purchase Agreement, if Mymetics had issued shares of capital stock in connection with a financing to repay the Bridge Loan that had more favorable financial rights and preferences than the original conversion price or other terms, NIL had the right, at its election, to acquire those shares at the better terms. The advantage of this lower conversion price for the providers of the Bridge Loan has been treated in accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-20-40. The difference in the fair value of the shares issuable based on the terms of the original conversion price and the fair value of the shares actually issued based on the inducement terms was recorded as an expense of E807 in September 2010.

Since the Company reduced the conversion price of the Bridge Loan to finance the acquisition from $0.80 to $0.50 in September 2010, the result is that the option allowed NIL to acquire 19,218,450 shares of common stock. Prior to this, the option allowed NIL to acquire 12,011,531 shares of common stock at $0.80 per share. The difference between the fair value calculation of the option at the original exercise price of $0.80 and the now established $0.50 per share is E484 and has been recorded as a general and administrative expense and an increase in additional paid-in capital. The fair values were calculated with Black Scholes methodology using the following assumptions:

Risk free interest rate		0.38	%
Expected dividends		0	%
Expected term	1.5 years
Volatility		131.92	%

This option expired on April 1, 2012.

During the first quarter of year 2013, Mymetics agreed with Norwood Immunology Ltd (NIL) to amend the terms and conditions of the E2,500 loan that expired on March 31, 2013. Under the terms of the Amendment, Mymetics agreed to make a series of payments as follows to release it from any obligation to share future revenues from the sale of Mymetics' intranasal influenza vaccine, RSV vaccine and HSV vaccine: (i) by April 30, 2013 E521 consisting of E500 of principal under the Loan Note and E21 of accrued interest for the month of April 2013 on the outstanding principal balance of E2,500 (ii) by May 31, 2013 E517 consisting of E500 of principal under the Loan Note and E17 of accrued interest for the month of May 2013 on the outstanding principal balance of E2,000, (iii) by September 30, 2013 accrued interest of E51 on the outstanding principal balance of E1,500 under the Loan Note and (iv) by March 31, 2014 E1,576 consisting of E1,500 to extinguish the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Note and E76 to extinguish the remaining unpaid accrued interest owed on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Note. In addition, Mymetics shall issue, within twenty days of receipt of the first tranche of the investment but no later than March 31, 2014, US$325 in shares of the Company’s common stock at the lower of (i) the average closing price of the last two months prior to the repayment date or (ii) the lowest conversion price for any Mymetics shareholder loan that has been converted two months prior or two months after such repayment or (iii) Investor Price.
