FORM 10-Q

Organization

KemPharm, Inc. (the “Company”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs to treat serious medical conditions through its proprietary Ligand Activated Therapy ("LAT") technology. The Company utilizes its proprietary LAT technology to generate improved prodrug versions of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") approved drugs as well as to generate prodrug versions of existing compounds that may have applications for new disease indications. The Company's product candidate pipeline is focused on the high need areas of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD") and stimulant use disorder ("SUD"). The Company has received FDA approval for APADAZ, an immediate-release combination product containing benzhydrocodone, a prodrug of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. On March 2, 2021, the Company announced that the FDA approved the new drug application ("NDA") for AZSTARYS (formerly referred to as KP415), a once-daily product for the treatment of ADHD in patients age six years and older. The Company's additional clinical product candidate for the treatment of ADHD include KP484, and the Company's clinical product candidate for the treatment of SUD includes KP879. 

Reverse Stock Split

On December 23, 2020, the Company completed a one-for-sixteen reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which reduced the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split and the par value of the Company’s common stock remained unchanged at $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise held fractional shares of the Company’s common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares. Except where disclosed, all amounts related to number of shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated in these unaudited condensed financial statements to reflect this Reverse Stock Split.

Entry into 2020 ELOC Agreement

In February 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for an equity line of credit (the “2020 ELOC Agreement”) with Lincoln Park which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to $4.0 million of shares of common stock from time to time over the 12-month term of the 2020 ELOC Agreement, and upon execution of the 2020 ELOC Agreement the Company issued an additional 19,289 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as commitment shares in accordance with the closing conditions within the 2020 ELOC Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the 2020 ELOC Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park (the “2020 ELOC Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the sale of the shares of common stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the 2020 ELOC Agreement pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a new registration statement. In May 2020, the Company reached the maximum allowable shares to be issued under the registration statement of 579,260 shares (inclusive of the 19,289 commitment shares) as defined in Section 2(f)(i) of the 2020 ELOC Agreement and therefore cannot issue additional shares under the 2020 ELOC Agreement. Through May 2020, the Company sold 559,971 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park (exclusive of the 19,289 commitment shares) under the 2020 ELOC Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 million.

Underwriting Agreement

On January 8, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Underwriter” or "Roth"), to issue and sell 6,765,463 shares of common stock of the Company, pre-funded warrants to purchase 926,844 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 7,692,307 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $6.50 in an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-250945) and a related prospectus, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The offering price to the public was $6.50 per share of common stock and accompanying warrant, representing a public offering price of $6.4999 per share of common stock and $0.0001 per related warrant. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter an option to purchase, for a period of 45 days, up to an additional 1,153,846 shares of the Company’s common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,153,846 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On January 8, 2021, the Underwriter exercised its over-allotment option, in part, for warrants to purchase 754,035 shares of the Company’s common stock. Further on February 1, 2021, the Underwriter again exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 374,035 shares of common stock.

On January 12, 2021, the Company closed the Public Offering. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Public Offering, including over-allotment, totaled approximately $52.4 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.

Listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market

On January 7, 2021, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on January 8, 2021 under the ticker symbol “KMPH”.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, the useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the incremental borrowing rate for leases, and assumptions used for purposes of determining stock-based compensation, income taxes, and the fair value of the derivative and warrant liability, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company commenced recognizing revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), starting January 1, 2018.

Arrangements with Multiple-Performance Obligations

From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements for research and development, manufacturing and/or commercialization services. Such arrangements may require the Company to deliver various rights, services, including intellectual property rights/licenses, research and development services, and/or commercialization services. The underlying terms of these arrangements generally provide for consideration to the Company in the form of nonrefundable upfront license fees, development and commercial performance milestone payments, royalty payments, consulting fees and/or profit sharing.

In arrangements involving more than one performance obligation, each required performance obligation is evaluated to determine whether it qualifies as a distinct performance obligation based on whether (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and (ii) the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The consideration under the arrangement is then allocated to each separate distinct performance obligation based on its respective relative stand-alone selling price. The estimated selling price of each deliverable reflects the Company’s best estimate of what the selling price would be if the deliverable was regularly sold by the Company on a stand-alone basis or using an adjusted market assessment approach if selling price on a stand-alone basis is not available.

The consideration allocated to each distinct performance obligation is recognized as revenue when control of the related goods or services is transferred. Consideration associated with at-risk substantive performance milestones is recognized as revenue when it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Should there be royalties, the Company utilizes the sales and usage-based royalty exception in arrangements that resulted from the license of intellectual property, recognizing revenues generated from royalties or profit sharing as the underlying sales occur.

Licensing Agreements

The Company enters into licensing agreements with licensees that fall under the scope of ASC 606.

The terms of the Company’s licensing agreements typically include one or more of the following: (i) upfront fees; (ii) milestone payments related to the achievement of development, regulatory, or commercial goals; and (iii) royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments may result in licensing revenues.

As part of the accounting for these agreements, the Company must develop estimates and assumptions that require judgment to determine the underlying stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation which determines how the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations. Generally, the estimation of the stand-alone selling price may include such estimates as, independent evidence of market price, forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, and probability of regulatory success. The Company evaluates each performance obligation to determine if they can be satisfied at a point in time or over time, and it measures the services delivered to the licensee which are periodically reviewed based on the progress of the related program. The effect of any change made to an estimated input component and, therefore revenue or expense recognized, would be recorded as a change in estimate. In addition, variable consideration (e.g., milestone payments) must be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price.

Up-front Fees: If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from the transaction price allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time.

Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments (variable consideration), the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the Company’s or the licensee’s control, such as non-operational developmental and regulatory approvals, are generally not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of milestones that are within its or the licensee’s control, such as operational developmental milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect collaboration revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment. Revisions to the Company’s estimate of the transaction price may also result in negative licensing revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.

KP415 License Agreement

In September 2019, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “KP415 License Agreement”) with Commave Therapeutics SA, an affiliate of Gurnet Point Capital (“Commave”). Under the KP415 License Agreement, the Company granted to Commave an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize the Company’s product candidates containing serdexmethylphenidate (“SDX”) and d-methylphenidate (“d-MPH”), including AZSTARYS, KP484, and, at the option of Commave, KP879, KP922 or any other product candidate developed by the Company containing SDX and developed to treat ADHD or any other central nervous system disorder (the “Additional Product Candidates” and, collectively with AZSTARYS and KP484, the “Licensed Product Candidates”). Pursuant to the KP415 License Agreement, Commave (i) paid the Company an upfront payment of $10.0 million; (ii) agreed to pay milestone payments of up to $63.0 million upon the occurrence of specified regulatory milestones related to AZSTARYS and KP484; (iii) agreed to pay additional payments of up to $420.0 million upon the achievement of specified U.S. sales milestones; and (iv) has agreed to pay the Company quarterly, tiered royalty payments ranging from a percentage in the high single digits to the mid-twenties of Net Sales (as defined in the KP415 License Agreement) in the United States and a percentage in the low to mid-single digits of Net Sales in each country outside the United States, in each case subject to specified reductions under certain conditions as described in the KP415 License Agreement. Commave is obligated to make such royalty payments on a product-by-product basis until expiration of the Royalty Term (as defined in the KP415 License Agreement) for the applicable product.

In exchange for the exclusive, worldwide license, discussed above, Commave paid the Company a non-refundable upfront payment of $10.0 million. The Company is also entitled to additional payments from Commave of up to $63.0 million, conditioned upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones related to AZSTARYS and KP484. In May 2020, the FDA accepted the Company’s NDA for AZSTARYS. Per the KP415 License Agreement, the Company received a regulatory milestone payment of $5.0 million following the FDA’s acceptance of the AZSTARYS NDA. In addition, the Company is entitled to payments from Commave of up to $420.0 million in the aggregate, conditioned upon the achievement of certain U.S. sales milestones, which are dependent upon, among other things, the timing of approval for a new drug application for AZSTARYS and its final approved label, if any. Further, Commave will pay the Company quarterly, tiered royalty payments ranging from a percentage in the high single digits to mid-twenties of Net Sales (as defined in the KP415 License Agreement) in the U.S. and a percentage in the low to mid-single digits of Net Sales in each country outside of the U.S., in each case subject to specified reductions under certain conditions as described in the KP415 License Agreement.

Commave also agreed to be responsible for and reimburse the Company for all of the development, commercialization and regulatory expenses incurred on the licensed products, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the KP415 License Agreement. As part of this agreement the Company is obligated to perform consulting services on behalf of Commave related to the licensed products. For these consulting services, Commave has agreed to pay the Company a set rate per hour on any consulting services performed on behalf of Commave for the benefit of the licensed products.

The KP415 License Agreement also established a joint steering committee, which monitors progress of the development of both AZSTARYS and KP484. Subject to the oversight of the joint steering committee, the Company otherwise retains all responsibility for the conduct of all regulatory activities required to obtain new drug application approval of AZSTARYS and KP484; provided that Commave shall be the sponsor of any clinical trials conducted by the Company on behalf of Commave.

In accordance with the terms of the Company’s March 20, 2012 Termination Agreement with Aquestive Therapeutics (formerly known as MonoSol Rx, LLC), Aquestive Therapeutics has the right to receive an amount equal to 10% of any royalty or milestone payments made to the Company related to AZSTARYS, KP484 or KP879 under the KP415 License Agreement.

The KP415 License Agreement is within the scope of ASC 606, as the transaction represents a contract with a customer where the participants function in a customer / vendor relationship and are not exposed equally to the risks and rewards of the activities contemplated under the KP415 License Agreement. Using the concepts of ASC 606, the Company identified the grant of the exclusive, worldwide license and the performance of consulting services, which includes the reimbursement of out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs, as its only two performance obligations at inception. The Company further determined that the transaction price, at inception, under the agreement was $10.0 million upfront payment plus the fair value of the Development Costs (as defined in the KP415 License Agreement) which was allocated among the performance obligations based on their respective related stand-alone selling price.

The consideration allocated to the grant of the exclusive, worldwide license was $10.0 million, which reflects the standalone selling price. The Company utilized the adjusted market assessment approach to determine this standalone selling price which included analyzing prospective offers received from various entities throughout our licensing negotiation process as well as the consideration paid to other competitors in the market for a similar type transaction. The Company determined that the intellectual property licensed under the KP415 License Agreement represented functional intellectual property and it has significant standalone functionality and therefore should be recognized at a point in time as opposed to over time. The revenue related to the grant of the exclusive, worldwide license was recognized at a point in time at the inception of the KP415 License Agreement.

The consideration allocated to the performance of consulting services, which includes the reimbursement of out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs, was the fair value of the Development Costs (as defined in the KP415 License Agreement), which reflects the standalone selling price. The Company utilized a blended approach which took into consideration the adjusted market assessment approach and the expected cost plus a margin approach to determine this standalone selling price. This blended approach utilized the adjusted market approach and expected cost plus margin approach to value the performance of consulting services which included analyzing hourly rates of vendors in the a market who perform similar services to those of the Company to develop a range and then analyzing the average cost per hour of our internal resources and applying a margin which placed the value in the median of the previously identified range. For the reimbursement of out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs the Company utilized the expected cost plus a margin approach, which included estimating the actual out-of-pocket cost the Company expects to pay to third-parties for research and development costs and applying a margin, if necessary. The Company determined that no margin was necessary of these out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs as these are purely pass-through costs and the margin for managing these third-party activities is included within the value of the performance of consulting services. The Company determined that the performance of consulting services, including reimbursement of out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs, is a performance obligation that is satisfied over time as the services are performed and the reimbursable costs are paid. As such, the revenue related to the performance obligation will be recognized as the consulting services are performed and the services associated with the reimbursable out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs are incurred and paid by the Company, in accordance with the practical expedient allowed under ASC 606 regarding an entity’s right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly to the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date. As discussed above, the combination of the standalone selling price of these consulting services and certain out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs for AZSTARYS was the fair value of the Development Costs at inception. These Development Costs effectively created a cap on certain consulting services and out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs identified in the initial product development plan for AZSTARYS which was anticipated at the inception date of the KP415 License Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has recognized all of the consulting services and out-of-pocket third-party research and development costs under this cap.

Under the KP415 License Agreement, Commave was granted an exclusive right to first negotiation whereby upon completion of a Phase 1 proof-of-concept study, the Company and Commave may negotiate the economic terms under which certain Additional Products may be included as a Product (both as defined in the KP415 License Agreement) under the KP415 License Agreement (the “Additional Product Option”). In addition to the Additional Product Option, Commave was also granted a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to acquire, license and/or commercialize any of the Additional Product Candidates should they choose not to exercise the Additional Product Option. Should Commave choose to exercise the Additional Product Option on any Additional Product Candidates, Commave and the Company shall negotiate in good faith regarding the economic terms of such Additional Product Candidate. Further, should Commave exercise the ROFR on any Additional Product Candidate, the economic terms of the agreement shall be the same as those offered to the third-party. Under ASC 606 an option to acquire additional goods or services gives rise to a performance obligation if the option provides a material right to the customer. The Company concluded that the above described Additional Product Option and ROFR do not constitute material rights to the customer as Commave would acquire the goods or services at a to be negotiated price, which the Company expects to approximate fair value and therefore Commave would not receive a material discount on these goods or services compared to market rates.

The Company is entitled to additional payments from Commave conditioned upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones related to AZSTARYS and KP484 and the achievement of certain U.S. sales milestones, which are dependent upon, among other things, the timing of approval for a new drug application for AZSTARYS and its final approved label, if any. Further, Commave will pay the Company quarterly, tiered royalty payments ranging from a percentage in the high single digits to mid-twenties of Net Sales (as defined in the KP415 License Agreement) in the U.S. and a percentage in the low to mid-single digits of Net Sales in each country outside of the U.S., in each case subject to specified reductions under certain conditions as described in the KP415 License Agreement. The Company concluded that these regulatory milestones, sales milestones and royalty payments each contain a significant uncertainty associated with a future event. As such, these milestone and royalty payments are constrained at contract inception and are not included in the transaction price as the Company could not conclude that it is probable a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur surrounding these milestone payments. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment of whether the milestone and royalty payments are constrained by considering both the likelihood and magnitude of the potential revenue reversal.

For example, in May 2020, the FDA accepted the Company’s NDA for AZSTARYS. Per the KP415 License Agreement, the Company received a regulatory milestone payment of $5.0 million following the FDA’s acceptance of the AZSTARYS NDA. Since the FDA accepted the Company’s NDA for AZSTARYS the constraint was removed and revenue recognized. The associated revenue was allocated among the two performance obligations identified at contract inception. Since both performance obligations were satisfied as of the end of the second quarter of 2020 the full $5.0 million payment was recognized as revenue during the second quarter of 2020.

On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the KP415 Amendment (the "KP415 Amendment"). Pursuant to the KP415 Amendment, the Company and Commave agreed to modify the compensation terms of the KP415 License Agreement. Pursuant to the KP415 Amendment, Commave paid the Company $10.0 million in connection with the entry into the KP415 Amendment as a result of the regulatory approval of AZSTARYS in the United States which occurred on March 2, 2021. Commave also agreed to pay the Company $10.0 million within thirty calendar days following receipt of the scheduling determination of the compound SDX by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (the "DEA"), which occurred on May 7, 2020. SDX is the prodrug component of AZSTARYS. In addition, the KP415 Amendment increases the total remaining future regulatory and sales milestone payments related to AZSTARYS to up to an aggregate of $590.0 million in payments upon the occurrence of specified regulatory milestones related to AZSTARYS and upon the achievement of specified U.S. net sales milestones. Further, Commave agreed to pay the Company quarterly, tiered royalty payments ranging from a percentage in the high single digits to the mid-twenties of Net Sales in the United States and a percentage in the low to mid-single digits of Net Sales in each country outside the United States, in each case subject to specified reductions under certain conditions, including with respect to the final approval label, as described in the KP415 License Agreement. Commave is obligated to make such royalty payments on a product-by-product basis until expiration of the Royalty Term for the applicable product.

Pursuant to the KP415 Amendment, Commave and the Company also agreed to modify Commave’s right of first refusal such that the Company’s product candidate, KP922, is no longer subject to Commave’ right of first refusal to acquire, license or commercialize any Additional Product Candidate.  Commave’s right of first refusal shall only apply to any Additional Product Candidate which contains SDX, with such right of first refusal expiring upon the acceptance of an NDA for such Additional Product Candidate containing SDX.

Per the KP415 Amendment, the Company earned a regulatory milestone payment of $10.0 million following the FDA’s approval of the AZSTARYS NDA. Since the FDA approved the NDA for AZSTARYS the constraint was removed and revenue recognized. The associated revenue was allocated among the two performance obligations identified at contract inception. Since both performance obligations were satisfied as of the end of the first quarter of 2021 the full $10.0 million was recognized as revenue during the first quarter of 2021. In accordance with ASC 340-40, Contracts with Customers, the Company recognized $1.0 million of royalty costs due to payment to Aquestive related to the regulatory milestone earned and recorded it in the item titled royalty and direct contract acquisition costs in the unaudited condensed statements of operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized revenue under the KP415 License Agreement of $10.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. There was no deferred revenue related to this agreement as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

APADAZ License Agreement

In October 2018, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “APADAZ License Agreement”) with KVK Tech, Inc. (“KVK”) pursuant to which we have granted an exclusive license to KVK to conduct regulatory activities for, manufacture and commercialize APADAZ in the United States.

Pursuant to the APADAZ License Agreement, KVK agreed to pay the Company certain payments and cost reimbursements of an estimated $3.4 million, which includes a payment of $2.0 million within 10 days of the achievement of a specified milestone related to the initial formulary adoption of APADAZ (the “Initial Adoption Milestone”). In addition, KVK has agreed to make additional payments to the Company upon the achievement of specified sales milestones of up to $53.0 million in the aggregate. Further, the Company and KVK will share the quarterly net profits of APADAZ by KVK in the United States at specified tiered percentages, ranging from the Company receiving 30% to 50% of net profits, based on the amount of net sales on a rolling four quarter basis. The Company is responsible for a portion of commercialization and regulatory expenses for APADAZ until the Initial Adoption Milestone is achieved, after which KVK will be responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with commercialization and maintaining regulatory approval in the United States.

The APADAZ License Agreement will terminate on the later of the date that all of the patent rights for APADAZ have expired in the United States or KVK’s cessation of commercialization of APADAZ in the United States. KVK may terminate the APADAZ License Agreement upon 90 days written notice if a regulatory authority in the United States orders KVK to stop sales of APADAZ due to a safety concern. In addition, after the third anniversary of the APADAZ License Agreement, KVK may terminate the APADAZ License Agreement without cause upon 18 months prior written notice. The Company may terminate the APADAZ License Agreement if KVK stops conducting regulatory activities for or commercializing APADAZ in the United States for a period of six months, subject to specified exceptions, or if KVK or its affiliates challenge the validity, enforceability or scope of any licensed patent under the APADAZ License Agreement. Both parties may terminate the APADAZ License Agreement (i) upon a material breach of the APADAZ License Agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period, (ii) if the other party encounters bankruptcy or insolvency or (iii) if the Initial Adoption Milestone is not achieved. Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted by the Company to KVK pursuant to the APADAZ License Agreement would revert to the Company.

The APADAZ License Agreement also established a joint steering committee, which monitors progress of the commercialization of APADAZ.

Consulting Arrangements

The Company enters into consulting arrangements with third-parties that fall under the scope of ASC 606.  These arrangements may require the Company to deliver various rights, services, including research and development services, regulatory services and/or commercialization support services. The underlying terms of these arrangements generally provide for consideration to the Company in the form of consulting fees and reimbursements of out-of-pocket third-party research and development, regulatory and commercial costs.

Corium Consulting Agreement

In July 2020, the Company entered into a consultation services arrangement (the “Corium Consulting Agreement”) with Corium, Inc. (“Corium”) under which Corium engaged the Company to guide the product development and regulatory activities for certain current and potential future products in Corium’s portfolio, as well as continue supporting preparation for the potential commercial launch of AZSTARYS (together, “Corium Consulting Services”). Corium is a portfolio company of Gurnet Point Capital and is responsible for leading all commercialization activities for AZSTARYS under the KP415 License Agreement, as discussed above.

Under the Corium Consulting Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive payments from Corium of up to $15.6 million, $13.6 million of which will be paid in quarterly installments through March 31, 2022. The remaining $2.0 million is conditioned upon the achievement of a specified regulatory milestone related to Corium’s product portfolio. Corium also agreed to be responsible for and reimburse the Company for all development, commercialization and regulatory expenses incurred as part of the performance of the Corium Consulting Services.

The Corium Consulting Agreement is within the scope of ASC 606, as the transaction represents a contract with a customer where the participants function in a customer / vendor relationship and are not exposed equally to the risks and rewards of the activities contemplated under the Corium Consulting Agreement. Using the concepts of ASC 606, the Company identified the performance of consulting services, which includes the reimbursement to the Company of third-party pass-through costs, as its only performance obligation at inception. The Company further determined that the transaction price, at inception, under the agreement was $13.6 million which is the fair value of the consulting services, including the reimbursement of third-party pass-through costs. The Company concluded that the regulatory milestone contains a significant uncertainty associated with a future event. As such, this milestone is constrained at contract inception and is not included in the transaction price as the Company could not conclude that it is probable a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur surrounding these milestone payments. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment of whether the milestone is constrained by considering both the likelihood and magnitude of the potential revenue reversal.

The Company determined that the performance of consulting services, including reimbursement of third-party pass-through costs, is a performance obligation that is satisfied over time as the services are performed and the reimbursable costs are paid. As such, the revenue related to the performance obligation will be recognized as the consulting services are performed and the services associated with the reimbursable third-party pass-through costs are incurred and paid by the Company, in accordance with the practical expedient allowed under ASC 606 regarding an entity’s right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly to the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has recognized approximately 45% of the consulting services and third-party pass-through costs under the Corium Consulting Agreement.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue under the Corium Consulting Agreement of $1.6 million. There was no revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the Corium Consulting Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had deferred revenue related to this agreement of $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred revenue related to this agreement or $0.1 million.

Other Consulting Arrangements

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue under other consulting arrangements of $0.5 million. There was no revenue recognized from other consulting arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was no deferred revenue from other consulting arrangements as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Accounts and Other Receivables

Accounts and other receivables consists of receivables under the KP415 License Agreement and Corium Consulting Agreement, as well as receivables related to other consulting arrangements, income tax receivables and other receivables due to the Company. Receivables under the KP415 License Agreement and Corium Consulting Agreement are recorded for amounts due to the Company related to reimbursable third-party costs and performance of consulting services. These receivables, as well as the receivables related to other consulting arrangements, are evaluated to determine if any reserve or allowance should be established at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had receivables related to the Corium Consulting Agreement in the amount of $0.6 million, other consulting arrangements in the amount of $0.6 million and $10.0 million related to the KP415 License Agreement. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had receivables related to the Corium Consulting Agreement of $2.1 million, other consulting arrangements of $0.4 million and no receivables related to the KP415 License Agreement. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no reserve or allowance for doubtful accounts has been established.

Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards—Adopted

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies issue accounting standards that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update applies to all entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which the FASB finalized on August 28, 2018, including the consideration of costs and benefits. This update applies to all entities that are required, under existing U.S. GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which addresses issues identified as a result of the complexities associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This update addresses, among other things, the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (“EPS”) guidance and amendments to the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, as well as the related EPS guidance. This update applies to all entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 could have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no convertible notes outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had convertible notes outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $68.2 million.

Deerfield Facility Agreement

In June 2014, the Company entered into a $60 million multi-tranche credit facility (the “Deerfield Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, LP (“Deerfield”). At the time the Company entered into the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company borrowed the first tranche, which consisted of a term loan of $15 million (the “Term Note”) and a senior secured loan of $10 million (the “Deerfield Convertible Note”). Deerfield was able to convert any portion of the outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on the Deerfield Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $5.85 per share (the “Deerfield Note Put Option”). After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the conversion price became $93.60.

The Deerfield Convertible Note originally bore interest at 9.75% per annum, but was subsequently reduced to 6.75%. Interest accrued on the outstanding balance under the Deerfield Convertible Note was due quarterly in arrears. The Company originally had to repay one-third of the outstanding principal amount of the Deerfield Convertible Note on the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Deerfield Facility Agreement (June 2018 and June 2019). In June 2018, Deerfield agreed to convert the $3,333,333 of the principal amount then due, plus $168,288 of accrued interest, into 37,410 shares of our common stock (as discussed below in the section entitled “Facility Agreement Waiver and Fifth Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note”). In September 2019, the Company entered into an amendment with Deerfield in order to (i) reduce the interest rate applicable under the Deerfield Facility Agreement from 9.75% to 6.75%, (ii) provide for “payment in kind” of interest on the Loans (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement), and (iii) defer the Loan payments due pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement until June 1, 2020 (as discussed below in the section entitled “2021 Note Exchange Effected in September 2019”). In December 2019, the Company entered into another amendment with Deerfield in order to (i) defer the Loan payments due pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement until March 31, 2021 and (ii) allow for the entries of additional debt and debt holders under the Deerfield Facility Agreement (as discussed below in the section entitled “2021 Note Exchange Effected in December 2019”). The Company was also obligated to repay principal of the Deerfield Convertible Note in the amount of $6,980,824 plus any capitalized interest to date on March 31, 2021. Prepayment of the outstanding balance was not allowed without written consent of Deerfield.

Pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company issued to Deerfield a warrant to purchase 14,423,076 shares of Series D Preferred at an initial exercise price of $0.78 per share, which is exercisable until June 2, 2024 (the “Deerfield Warrant”). Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering, the Deerfield Warrant automatically converted into a warrant to purchase 1,923,077 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.85 per share. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the shares issuable upon conversion of the warrant became 120,192 shares of common stock, and the exercise price of the Deerfield Warrant became $93.60 per share, which in January 2021 was further adjusted to $46.25 per share in connection with the Company entering into the Inducement Transaction (as defined in Note F) which triggered the anti-dilution provisions of the Deerfield Warrant. This warrant qualifies as a participating security under ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, and is treated as such in the net loss per share calculation (Note I). If a Major Transaction occurs (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement) Deerfield may require the Company to redeem the Deerfield Warrant for a cash amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of the portion of the Deerfield Warrant to be redeemed (the “Warrant Put Option”).

The Company recorded the fair value of the shares of Series D Preferred to debt issuance costs on the date of issuance. The Company also recorded the fair value of the Deerfield Warrant and the embedded Warrant Put Option to debt discount on the date of issuance. The debt issuance costs and debt discount were amortized over the term of the related debt and the expense was recorded as interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs and discount in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. In February 2021, the debt was extinguished and the discount and debt issuance costs were written off as a loss on extinguishment.

Pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company was not able to enter into specified transactions, including a debt financing in the aggregate value of $750,000 or more, other than permitted indebtedness under the Deerfield Facility Agreement, a merger, an asset sale or any other change of control transaction or any joint venture, partnership or other profit-sharing arrangement, without the prior approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement). Additionally, if the Company were to enter into a major transaction, including a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets or other change of control transaction, Deerfield would have had the ability to demand that prior to consummation of such transaction the Company repay all outstanding principal and accrued interest of any notes issued under the Deerfield Facility Agreement. Under each warrant issued pursuant to the Deerfield Facility Agreement, Deerfield has the right to demand that the Company redeem the warrant for a cash amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of a portion of the warrant upon the occurrence of specified events, including a merger, an asset sale or any other change of control transaction.

Issuance of 5.50% Senior Convertible Notes and Third Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note and Warrant

In February 2016, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) to Cowen and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), who subsequently resold the 2021 Notes to qualified institutional buyers (the “Note Offering”) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The 2021 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 9, 2016 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Interest on the 2021 Notes was payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2016, at a rate of 5.50% per year. The 2021 Notes had an original maturity of February 1, 2021 unless earlier converted or repurchased.

The net proceeds from the Note Offering were approximately $82.8 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses. Concurrent with the Note Offering, the Company used approximately $18.6 million of the net proceeds from the Note Offering to repay in full the Term Note, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, a make-whole interest payment and a prepayment premium on the Term Note.

The 2021 Notes were not redeemable prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund was provided for the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes were convertible at an initial conversion rate of 58.4454 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, subject to adjustment under the Indenture, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $17.11 per share of common stock. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the conversion rate of the 2021 Notes would have been approximately 3.6528 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Notes, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $273.76 per share.

If the Company underwent a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders could have required that the Company repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2021 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Indenture included customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2021 Notes may have become due and payable immediately.

As described in more detail below, in multiple exchanges occurring in December 2019 and January 2020, all outstanding 2021 Notes were exchanged by the holders thereof for either shares of our common stock or senior secured convertible promissory notes issued under the terms of the Deerfield Facility Agreement.

2021 Note Exchange Effected in December 2019

In December 2019, the Company entered into the December 2019 Exchange Agreement and Amendment to Facility Agreement, Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants (the “December 2019 Exchange Agreement”) with the Deerfield Lenders and Delaware Street Capital Master Fund, L.P. (“DSC” and, collectively with the Deerfield Lenders, the “December 2019 Holders”). Under the December 2019 Exchange Agreement, the Company issued senior secured convertible promissory notes under the Deerfield Facility Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $71,418,011 (the “December 2019 Notes”), in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of $71,418,011 principal amount and accrued interest of the Company’s 2021 Notes. Upon entering into the December 2019 Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the December 2019 Holders, in the aggregate, an interest payment of $745,011 which represents 50% of the accrued interest, as of December 18, 2019, on the 2021 Notes owned by the December 2019 Holders. The remainder of such interest was included in the principal amount of the December 2019 Notes.

The December 2019 Notes bore interest at 6.75% per annum. The December 2019 Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $17.11 per share (which represented the conversion price of the 2021 Notes), subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the December 2019 Notes. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the conversion price of the December 2019 Notes would have been $273.76 per share. The Company subsequently amended the December 2019 Notes to provide that such notes would have been convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $93.60 per share (which represented the conversion price of the Deerfield Convertible Note). The conversion price of the December 2019 Notes would have been adjusted downward if the Company issued or sold any shares of common stock, convertible securities, warrants or options at a sale or exercise price per share less than the greater of the December 2019 Notes’ conversion price or the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading date immediately prior to such issuance, or, in the case of a firm commitment underwritten offering, on the date of execution of the underwriting agreement between the Company and the underwriters for such offering. However, if the Company effected an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of its common stock, the conversion price of the December 2019 Notes would have been adjusted downward pursuant to this anti-dilution adjustment only if such sales were made at a price less than $93.60 per share, provided that this anti-dilution adjustment would not have applied to any sales made under (x) the 2020 ELOC Agreement, (y) the ATM Agreement, or (z) the September 2019 Exchange Agreement (as amended). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the December 2019 Notes, the anti-dilution adjustment of such notes would not have resulted in the conversion price of the December 2019 Notes being less than $9.328 per share. The December 2019 Notes were convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof, provided that a holder of a December 2019 Note was prohibited from converting such note into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would have beneficially owned more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. However, the December 2019 Note issued to DSC, due to the fact DSC was a beneficial owner of more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding, had a beneficial ownership cap equal to 19.985% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the December 2019 Notes, the December 2019 Holders had the option to demand repayment of all outstanding principal, and any unpaid interest accrued thereon, in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined in the December 2019 Notes), which included, among others, any acquisition or other change of control of the Company; a liquidation, bankruptcy or other dissolution of the Company; or if at any time after March 31, 2021, shares of the Company’s common stock are not listed on an Eligible Market (as defined in the December 2019 Notes). The December 2019 Notes were subject to specified events of default, the occurrence of which would have entitled the December 2019 Holders to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the December 2019 Notes. Such events of default included, among others, failure to make any payment under the December 2019 Notes when due, failure to observe or perform any covenant under the Deerfield Facility Agreement (as defined below) or the other transaction documents related thereto (subject to a standard cure period), the failure of the Company to be able to pay debts as they come due, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, a material judgement levied against the Company and a material default by the Company under the Deerfield Warrant, the December 2019 Notes or the Deerfield Convertible Note.

The December 2019 Exchange Agreement amended the Deerfield Facility Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) provide for the Deerfield Facility Agreement to govern the December 2019 Notes received by the December 2019 Holders pursuant to the December 2019 Exchange Agreement, (ii) extend the maturity of the Deerfield Convertible Note from February 14, 2020 and June 1, 2020, as applicable, to March 31, 2021, (iii) defer interest payments on the Deerfield Convertible Note until March 31, 2021 (which such interest shall accrue as “payment-in-kind” interest), (iv) designate DSC as a Lender under (and as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement), (v) name Deerfield as the “Collateral Agent” for all Lenders and (vi) modify the terms and conditions under which the Company may issue additional pari passu and subordinated indebtedness under the Deerfield Facility Agreement (subject to certain conditions specified in the Deerfield Facility Agreement).

The December 2019 Exchange Agreement also amended and restated the Deerfield Convertible Note to conform the definitions of “Eligible Market” and “Major Transactions” to the definition in the December 2019 Notes, to remove provisions that were only applicable prior to the Company’s initial public offering and to make certain other changes to conform to the December 2019 Notes. The conversion price for the Deerfield Convertible Note remained $93.60 per share, subject to adjustment on the same basis as the December 2019 Notes.

The December 2019 Exchange Agreement also amended the Deerfield Warrant to conform the definitions of “Eligible Market” and “Major Transaction” in the Deerfield Warrant with the definitions of such terms in the December 2019 Notes.

The December 2019 Exchange Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and the December 2019 Holders, including a covenant of the Company to, upon request, use commercially reasonable efforts to use its technology to discover a product based upon a compound that may be identified by the Deerfield Lenders in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to the Deerfield Lenders, or one of their affiliates, with the terms of such discovery plan, including the Company’s compensation thereunder, to be mutually agreed to by the parties.

In connection with entering into the December 2019 Exchange Agreement, on December 18, 2019, the Company amended and restated that certain Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated June 2, 2014, by and between the Company and the other parties thereto (the “GSA”) to, among other things, (i) provide that all of the notes will be secured by the liens securing the indebtedness under the Deerfield Facility Agreement, and (ii) name Deerfield as the “Collateral Agent” under the GSA.

In connection with entering into the December 2019 Exchange Agreement, the Company also entered into an amendment (the “September 2019 Exchange Agreement Amendment”) to the September 2019 Exchange Agreement to, among other things, (i) amend and restate Annex I of the September 2019 Exchange Agreement to allow the Deerfield Lenders to effect optional exchanges of the December 2019 Notes and the Deerfield Convertible Note under the terms of the September 2019 Exchange Agreement; (ii) amend the common stock exchange price under the September 2019 Exchange Agreement to be a per share price equal to the greater of (x) $0.60, subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events, or (y) the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock on each of the 15 trading days immediately preceding such exchange, (iii) provide that no more than 28,439,015 of shares of the Company’s common stock shall be issued pursuant to optional exchanges under the September 2019 Exchange Agreement (whether by common stock exchange or upon conversion of Series B-2 Shares (as defined in the September 2019 Exchange Agreement Amendment)), subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events and (iv) eliminate limitations regarding the timing and aggregate amount of principal which may be exchanged under the September 2019 Exchange Agreement. These changes in the September 2019 Exchange Agreement Amendment significantly modified the Optional Exchange Principal Amount, as such after giving effect to the September Exchange Agreement Amendment the Optional Exchange Principal Amount ceases to exist the new optional exchanges are referred to as the Deerfield Optional Conversion Feature. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the exchange price of the Deerfield Optional Conversion Feature would have been $9.60 per share or the average of the volume-weighted average price of the common stock on the principal securities exchange or trading market on which the common stock is then trading on each of the 15 trading days immediately preceding such exchange and the shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the optional exchanges would have been 1,777,437 shares of common stock.

In connection with entering into the September 2019 Amendment, the Company filed an amendment to the Series B-2 Certificate of Designation (the “Series B-2 Certificate of Designation Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State Delaware. The Series B-2 Certificate of Designation Amendment provides that each share of the Company’s Series B-2 preferred stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price equal to the common stock exchange price under the September 2019 Exchange Agreement, which equals the greater of (i) $9.60 (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events), or (ii) the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock on each of the 15 trading days immediately preceding such exchange.

As of March 31, 2021, the Deerfield Lenders have converted $17.1 million of principal under the December 2019 Notes into all 1,777,437 shares of common stock available under the Deerfield Optional Conversion Feature.

The Company determined the changes to the Deerfield Convertible Note met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors, as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and Deerfield granted a concession. The amendments to the terms of the Deerfield Convertible Note resulted in no gain on restructuring because the total cash outflows required under the amended Deerfield Convertible Note exceeded the carrying value of the original Deerfield Convertible Note immediately prior to amendment. Prospectively, the Deerfield Convertible Note will continue to be carried net of the associated discount and debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using a modified effective interest rate based on the amendments.

The changes to the 2021 Notes, under the December 2019 Exchange Agreement, referred to after as the December 2019 Notes, were accounted for as a debt modification, prospectively, the December 2019 Notes will be carried net of the associated discount and debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using a modified effective interest rate based on the amendments.

2021 Note Exchange Effected in January 2020

In January 2020, the Company entered into the January 2020 Exchange Agreement (the “January 2020 Exchange Agreement”) with M. Kingdon Offshore Master Fund, LP (“Kingdon”). Under the January 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company issued a senior secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,037,354 (the “January 2020 Note”) in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of $3,037,354 principal amount and accrued interest of the 2021 Note then owned by Kingdon. Upon entering into the January 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Kingdon an interest payment of $37,354, which represents 50% of the accrued and unpaid interest, as of January 13, 2020, on Kingdon’s 2021 Note. The remainder of such interest was included in the principal amount of the January 2020 Note.

The January 2020 Note was issued with substantially the same terms and conditions as the December 2019 Notes (as amended by the amendment described in more detail below).

In connection with entering into the January 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company entered into an Amendment to Facility Agreement and December 2019 Notes and Consent (the “December 2019 Note Amendment”) with the December 2019 Holders that, among other things, (i) amended the December 2019 Notes to (a) reduce the Conversion Price (as defined in the December 2019 Notes) from $17.11 to $5.85 per share and (b) increased the Floor Price (as defined in the December 2019 Notes) from $0.38 to $0.583 per share, and (ii) amended the Deerfield Facility Agreement to (x) provide for Kingdon to join the Deerfield Facility Agreement as a Lender (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement) and (y) provide that the 2020 Note and shall constitute a “Senior Secured Convertible Note” (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement) for purposes of the Deerfield Facility Agreement and other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Deerfield Facility Agreement). After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the Conversion Price became $93.60 per share and the Floor Price became $9.328 per share.

The changes to the 2021 Note, under the January 2020 Exchange Agreement, referred to after as the January 2020 Note, were accounted for as a debt modification, prospectively, the January 2020 Note will be carried net of the associated discount and debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using a modified effective interest rate based on the amendments.

December 2020 Exchange Agreement and Amendment to Facility Agreement, Notes and Investors’ Rights Agreement

In December 2020, the Company entered into a December 2020 Exchange Agreement and Amendment to Facility Agreement, Notes and Investors’ Rights Agreement, as amended (the “December 2020 Exchange Agreement”) with the Deerfield Lenders, DSC and Kingdon (collectively, the “Facility Agreement Note Holders”). Under the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Facility Agreement Note Holders agreed that (a) the Company will make a cash pre-payment of a portion of principal amount of the Deerfield Convertible Note, the December 2019 Notes and the January 2020 Note (collectively, the “Facility Agreement Notes”) to the Facility Agreement Note Holders (the “Debt Payment”) equal to approximately $30.3 million, plus accrued interest if such payment is made on or after January 1, 2021, and (b) subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions specified in the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, including the making of the Debt Payment, issue shares of its Series B-2 Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable for shares of its common stock (the “Exchange Warrants”), in exchange for the cancellation of a portion of the principal amount of the Facility Agreement Notes owned by the Facility Agreement Note Holders in an aggregate amount equal to the Debt Payment, plus the Q4 PIK Interest Payment (as defined in the December 2020 Exchange Agreement) (such transaction, the “December 2020 Exchange”).

The December 2020 Exchange Agreement amended the Facility Agreement Notes to provide that the failure of the Company’s common stock to remain listed on an eligible securities market will not constitute a “Major Transaction” unless such failure occurs after March 31, 2023.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions specified in the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, including the making of the Debt Payment and the consummation of the exchange, the December 2020 Exchange Agreement amended that certain Facility Agreement dated as of June 2, 2014, as amended (the “Facility Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Facility Agreement Note Holders in order to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Facility Agreement Notes to March 31, 2023, (ii) provide for cash payments of interest on the Loans (as defined in the Facility Agreement) for the periods following July 1, 2021, and (iii) provide for specified prepayment terms on the Loans.

The December 2020 Exchange Agreement amended that certain Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2015 (the “IRA”), by and among the Company, Deerfield and the other parties signatory thereto in order to, among other things, add Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. as a party thereto and to give effect to the issuance of the Exchange Warrants and the Company’s registration obligations under the December 2020 Exchange Agreement (as described in more detail below).

The Exchange Warrants issued pursuant to the December 2020 Exchange Agreement were exercisable for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 75% of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock issued in the Exchange (without regard for any beneficial ownership limitations included therein). The Exercise Warrants were subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued to the public in the public offering of the Company’s securities contemplated pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, file no. 333-250945 (the “Public Offering”), with an exercise price equal to the exercise price per share of the warrants issued in the Public Offering and provided that the Facility Agreement Note Holders will be limited from exercising such Exchange Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, such holders (together with certain affiliates and “group” members of such holders) would beneficially own more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding.

In anticipation of the Public Offering, and to meet the Nasdaq Listing Requirements, the Company agreed in December 2020 to restructure the December 2019 Notes and the January 2020 Note in the aggregate principal amount of $60.8 million and the Deerfield Note in the principal amount of $7.5 million (collectively the "the Facility Notes"). The total outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Facility Notes was $69.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

Under the terms of the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company, on January 12, 2021, in connection with the closing of the Public Offering:

Following the completion of these transactions, the aggregate balance of principal and accrued interest remaining outstanding under the Facility Notes was approximately $7.6 million. With respect to this remaining outstanding balance under the Facility Notes, the December 2020 Exchange Agreement amended the terms of that debt to provide that:

The changes to the Facility Notes, under the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, were accounted for as a debt extinguishment as the cash flows immediately after the December 2020 Exchange Agreement were substantially different from the cash flows immediately prior to the December 2020 Exchange Agreement and while the Company was experiencing financial difficulties it was determined that the lender did not grant a concession. As such a loss of extinguishment related to the extinguishment of the old notes was recorded in the unaudited condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and additional debt issuance costs related the new notes were capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method through the Payoff of Facility Agreement Notes (discussed below).

The transactions contemplated under the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, including the obligation to pre-pay any portion of the Facility Agreement Notes or to complete the Exchange and the effectiveness of the amendments to the Facility Agreement, the Notes and the IRA, were subject to specified conditions of closing, including certain closing of the Public Offering, the filing of the Restated Series B-2 Certificate of Designation (as defined below) and the approval for listing of the Company’s common stock, including the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and exercise of the Exchange Warrants, on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As a condition to closing of the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Restated Series B-2 Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State Delaware, setting forth the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock.

Each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock had an aggregate stated value of $1,000 and was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price equal to the price per share to the public of the Company’s common stock in the Public Offering (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and similar events).

The Series B-2 Preferred Stock was convertible at any time on or after the PDUFA Date (as defined in the Restated Series B-2 Certificate of Designation) at the option of the holders thereof; provided that the holders thereof will be prohibited from converting shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holders (together with certain affiliates and “group” members of such Holders) would beneficially own more than 4.985% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is not redeemable. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up or a change in control of the Company (each, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will receive, prior to any distribution or payment on our common stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 per share (in the case of a change in control, transaction consideration with such value), or (ii) the amount (in the case of a change in control, in the form of the transaction consideration) per share each such holder would have been entitled to receive if every share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, in each case, plus any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. With respect to rights upon liquidation, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock, on parity with any Parity Securities (as defined in the Restated Series B-2 Certificate of Designation) and junior to existing and future indebtedness. Except as otherwise required by law (or with respect to approval of certain actions involving the Company’s organizational documents that adversely affect the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock and other specified matters regarding the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock), the Series B-2 Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is not subject to any price-based anti-dilution protections and does not provide for any accruing dividends, but provides that holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will participate in any dividends on the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis (without giving effect to the limitation on conversion described above). The Restated Series B-2 Certificate of Designation also provides for partial liquidated damages in the event that the Company fails to timely convert shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock into common stock in accordance with the Restated Series B-2 Certificate of Designation.

Payoff of Facility Agreement Notes and Termination of Facility Agreement

On February 8, 2021, the Company entered into a payoff letter with the Facility Agreement Note Holders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay off and thereby terminate the Facility Agreement.

Pursuant to the payoff letter, the Company paid a total of $8.0 million to the Facility Agreement Note Holders, representing the principal balance, accrued interest outstanding and a prepayment fee in repayment of the Company’s outstanding obligations under the Facility Agreement.

Pursuant to the payoff letter, all outstanding indebtedness and obligations of the Company owing to the Facility Agreement Note Holders under the Facility Agreement have been paid in full. The Facility Agreement and the notes thereunder, as well as the security interests in the assets of the Company securing the Facility Agreement and note obligations, have been terminated. The Facility Agreement Note Holders will retain the warrants previously issued to them by the Company.

The Company determined the payoff letter met the liability derecognition threshold under ASC 405-20, Liabilities - Extinguishment of Liabilities, as the Company repaid the debt (and has been relieved of the related obligation) without entering into new debt with the Facility Agreement Note Holders and there is no other continuing debt with the Facility Agreement Note Holders. The payoff letter resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt which is recorded on the unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

PPP Loan

On April 23, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $0.8 million from the PPP Loan under the PPP of the CARES Act, a portion of which may be forgiven, which the Company used to retain current employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. The PPP Loan matures on April 23, 2022 and bears annual interest at a rate of 1.0%. Payments of principal and interest on the PPP Loan were originally deferred for the first six months of the PPP Loan term. Thereafter, the Company would have been required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest. As of March 31, 2021, $0.7 million of the PPP Loan is recorded on the unaudited condensed balance sheets in current portion of loans payable and $0.1 million is recorded in loan payable, less current portion. 

The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, the Company may apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or part of the PPP Loan. The Company applied for forgiveness for all of the PPP Loan in the fourth quarter of 2020 and is still awaiting a decision on forgiveness. The amount of loan proceeds eligible for forgiveness was originally based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including the amount of loan proceeds used by the Company during the eight-week period after the loan origination for certain purposes, including payroll costs, interest on certain mortgage obligations, rent payments on certain leases, and certain qualified utility payments, provided that at least 75% of the loan amount was used for eligible payroll costs. Subject to the other requirements and limitations on loan forgiveness, only loan proceeds spent on payroll and other eligible costs during the covered eight-week period would have qualified for forgiveness.

On June 5, 2020, President Trump signed into law the PPP Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”), which among other things provided the following important changes to the PPP:

Based on the changes provided by the Flexibility Act the Company took advantage of (i) the extended covered period for loan forgiveness from eight weeks to 24 weeks, (ii) the lowered requirement that a certain percentage of loan proceeds must be used for payroll costs from 75 percent to 60 percent, (iii) the extended deferral period for payments of principal, interest and fees from six months after loan disbursement to 10 months after the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender and (iv) any safe harbor provisions as applicable. The Company will be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, in accordance with the amortization schedule described above. Based on the changes provided by the Flexibility Act the Company expects that substantially all of the PPP loan will be forgiven, however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be eligible for loan forgiveness or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has one irrevocable letter of credit supporting certain finance lease agreements. This letter of credit is guaranteed by a money market account which is reported as restricted cash on the unaudited condensed balance sheets.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. For some matters, a liability is not probable, or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, an accrual has not been made. However, for such matters when it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and can reasonably estimate the amount, the Company accrues and discloses such estimates. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no accruals have been made related to commitments and contingencies.

Authorized, Issued, and Outstanding Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, of which 9,578 shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,576 shares were designated as Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 31,480 shares were designated as Series B-2 Preferred Stock. Of the designated preferred stock, 9,577 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 1,576 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 31,476.98412 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock were issued as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, of which 9,578 shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,576 shares were designated as Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 27,000 shares were designated as Series B-2 Preferred Stock. Of the designated preferred stock, 9,577 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 1,576 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock and no shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock were issued as of December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series B-2 Preferred Stock were outstanding.

Series B-2 Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, on January 12, 2021, the Company issued to the Facility Note Holders an aggregate of 31,476.98412 shares of its Series B-2 Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 3,632,019 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Warrants”).

The Series B-2 Preferred Stock was convertible into an aggregate of 4,842,690 shares of the Company’s common stock upon issuance at a conversion price equal to $6.4999. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock. Instead, for any such fractional share that would have otherwise been issued upon conversion of a share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Company will round such fraction up to the next whole share.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock

On January 11, 2021, as a condition to closing of the transactions contemplated by the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-2 Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State Delaware, setting forth the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock.

Immediately following, the closing of the Public Offering, pursuant to the terms of the December 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company:

Upon the closing of the Exchange and related Debt Payment, the amendments to the Facility Agreement, the Notes and the Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2015, by and among the Company, Deerfield and the other parties signatory thereto, contemplated by the December 2020 Exchange Agreement that were conditional upon, among other things, the closing of the Public Offering, the filing of the Series B-2 Certificate of Designation and/or the approval for listing of the Company’s common stock, including the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and exercise of the Exchange Warrants, on the Nasdaq Capital Market, became effective on January 12, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock have been converted into 4,842,699 shares of common stock. 

Authorized, Issued, and Outstanding Common Shares

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had authorized shares of common stock of 250,000,000 shares. Of the authorized shares, 28,480,156 and 4,537,321 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had reserved authorized shares of common stock for future issuance as follows:

Common Stock Activity

The following table summarizes common stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

Warrants

On June 2, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Deerfield Facility Agreement, the Company issued the Deerfield Warrant to purchase 14,423,076 shares of Series D Preferred (Note C). The Company recorded the fair value of the Deerfield Warrant as a debt discount and a warrant liability. The Deerfield Warrant, if unexercised, expires on the earlier of June 2, 2024, or upon a liquidation event. Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), the Deerfield Warrant automatically converted into a warrant to purchase 1,923,077 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.85 per share. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the exercise price of the Deerfield Warrant became $93.60 and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Deerfield Warrant became 120,192 shares of common stock. As a result of the Warrant Inducement transaction on January 26, 2021 (discussed below) the anti-dilution provisions within the Deerfield Warrant were triggered and the exercise price was reduced from $93.60 per share to $46.25 per share. The Company amortized the debt discount over the term of the Deerfield Convertible Note and the expense was recorded as interest expense related to amortization of debt issuance costs and discount in the unaudited condensed statements of operations. The Deerfield Convertible Note was extinguished in February 2021 and the remaining debt discount was written off and recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The Company determined that the Deerfield Warrant should be recorded as a liability and stated at fair value at each reporting period upon inception. As stated above, upon completion of the IPO, the Deerfield Warrant automatically converted into warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The Deerfield Warrant remains classified as a liability and is recorded at fair value at each reporting period since it can be settled in cash. Changes to the fair value of the warrant liability are recorded through the unaudited condensed statements of operations as a fair value adjustment (Note H).

In connection with the APADAZ License Agreement, in October 2018, the Company issued to KVK a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.30 per share, which reflected the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the execution date of the APADAZ License Agreement (the “KVK Warrant”). The KVK Warrant is initially not exercisable for any shares of common stock. Upon the achievement of each of four specified milestones under the KVK Warrant, the KVK Warrant will become exercisable for an additional 125,000 shares, up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price and the number and type of shares underlying the KVK Warrant are subject to adjustment in the event of specified events, including a reclassification of the Company’s common stock, a subdivision or combination of the Company’s common stock, or in the event of specified dividend payments. The KVK Warrant is exercisable until October 24, 2023. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price may be paid, at KVK’s election, in cash or on a net issuance basis, based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split effected in December 2020, the exercise price of the KVK Warrant became $36.80 and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the KVK Warrant became 31,250 shares of common stock.

The Company determined that, since KVK qualifies as a customer under ASC 606, the KVK Warrant should be recorded as a contract asset and recognized as contra-revenue as the Company recognizes revenue from the APADAZ License Agreement. In addition, the Company determined that the KVK Warrant qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 and should be recorded as a liability and stated at fair value each reporting period. The Company calculates the fair value of the KVK Warrant using a probability-weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in the inputs to the Black Scholes model are accounted for as changes in the fair value of the derivative under ASC 815 and are recorded as fair value adjustment related to derivative and warrant liability in the statements of operations. Changes in the number of shares that are expected to be issued are treated as changes in variable consideration under ASC 606 and are recorded as a change in contract asset in the balance sheets. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a contract asset of $0.4 million is recorded in other long-term assets on the balance sheets related to the KVK Warrant.

Pre-Funded Warrants

On January 12, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase 926,844 shares of the Company’s common stock to specified investors in the Public Offering. Each pre-funded warrant had an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.0001. The pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable. The pre-funded warrants were exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder was able to elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the pre-funded warrants. As of March 31, 2021, all pre-funded warrants have been exercised for 926,841 shares of common stock and gross proceeds of approximately $72. 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On January 12, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and December 2020 Exchange Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 12,078,361 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Offering Warrants”) in the Public Offering and in connection with the transactions contemplated under the December 2020 Exchange Agreement. The Offering Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on the fifth anniversary of their issuance date, at an exercise price per share of common stock equal to $6.50 per share. The Offering Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a duly executed exercise notice, provided that payment in full for the number of shares of the Company’s common stock purchased upon such exercise is delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offering Warrants. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Offering Warrants. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Offering Warrant to the extent that the holder and its affiliates and any other person or entities with which such holder would constitute a Section 13(d) “group” would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Offering Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock, the holders of the Offering Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Offering Warrants, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Offering Warrants. The Offering Warrants provide that holders have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on the Company’s common stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Offering Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets, the Company’s consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by the Company’s outstanding common stock, the holders of the Offering Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Offering Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, in the event of a fundamental transaction which is approved by the Company’s board of directors, the holders of the warrants have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the Offering Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the Offering Warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction which is not approved by the Company’s board of directors, the holders of the Offering Warrants have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the Offering Warrants in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the Offering Warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction payable in the form of consideration paid to the holders of common stock in such fundamental transaction. The Offering Warrants meet the equity classification requirements and thus are recorded in additional paid-in capital on the unaudited condensed balance sheets. As of March 31, 2021, 3,157,895 Offering Warrants have been exercised for 2,726,918 shares of common stock and gross proceeds of approximately $14.9 million. These amounts are exclusive of the Offering Warrants exercised as part of the Inducement Transaction discussed below.

Underwriter Warrant

On January 12, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued to the Underwriter a warrant to purchase 806,932 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Underwriter Warrant”). The Underwriter Warrant is subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the Warrants, provided that the exercise price for the Underwriter Warrant is $8.125 per share. If the Underwriter exercises any additional portion of its over-allotment option, then the Company shall issue the Underwriter an additional Underwriter Warrant exercisable for a number of shares of common stock equal to 5.0% of the number of shares of common stock issued in such over-allotment exercise (including the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants issued in connection therewith). In connection with the closing of the Underwriter's partial exercise of its over-allotment option, on February 3, 2021, the Underwriter was issued an additional warrant to purchase 18,702 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2021, no Underwriter Warrants have been exercised.

Warrant Exercise Inducement Letters and Issuance of Warrants

On January 26, 2021, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (“Inducement Transaction”) with certain holders of warrants issued in the Public Offering discussed above (the "Existing Warrants") (collectively, the “Exercising Holders”) pursuant to which such holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants to purchase 6,620,358 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) on substantially the same terms as the Existing Warrants, except as set forth in the following sentence, to purchase up to 7,944,430 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equal to 120% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants. The purchase price of the Inducement Warrants was $0.125 per share underlying each Inducement Warrant, and the Inducement Warrants have an exercise price of $6.36 per share. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $44.0 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Exercising Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. The Company engaged Roth as its exclusive placement agent in connection with these transactions and paid Roth a fee equal to 6% of gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Exercising Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. As a result of this transaction the anti-dilution provisions contained with the Deerfield Warrant were triggered and the exercise price of the Deerfield Warrant was reduced from $93.60 per share to $46.25 per share.

The Inducement Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on the fifth anniversary of their issuance date, at an exercise price per share of common stock equal to $6.36 per share. The Inducement Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a duly executed exercise notice, provided that payment in full for the number of shares of the Company’s common stock purchased upon such exercise is delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Inducement Warrants. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrants. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Inducement Warrant to the extent that the holder and its affiliates and any other person or entities with which such holder would constitute a Section 13(d) “group”  would own more than 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to the issuance of its Inducement Warrants, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Inducement Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock, the holders of the Inducement Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Inducement Warrants. The Inducement Warrants provide that holders have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on the Company’s common stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Inducement Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets, the Company’s consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by the Company’s outstanding common stock, the holders of the Inducement Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Inducement Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Inducement Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, in the event of a fundamental transaction which is approved by the Company’s board of directors, the holders of the Inducement Warrants have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the Inducement Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the Inducement Warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction which is not approved by the Company’s board of directors, the holders of the Inducement Warrants have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the Inducement Warrants in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the Warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction payable in the form of consideration paid to the holders of common stock in such fundamental transaction. As of March 31, 2021, 1,676,921 Inducement Warrants have been exercised for 1,676,921 shares of common stock and gross proceeds of approximately $10.7 million. 

In accordance with the Inducement Transaction we recognized a deemed dividend of $37.4 million which is the difference between the grant date fair value of the Inducement Warrants and the purchase price of the Inducement Warrants. This deemed dividend is added to net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders on the unaudited condensed statements of operations. 

The Company maintains a stock-based compensation plan (the “Incentive Stock Plan”) that governs stock awards made to employees and directors prior to completion of the IPO.  

In November 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company ("the Board"), and in April 2015, the Company’s stockholders, approved the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which became effective in April 2015. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, other forms of equity compensation, and performance cash awards. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2014 Plan is 589,659 as of March 31, 2021. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2016, and ending on and including January 1, 2024, by 4% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan, on January 1, 2021, the common stock reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan automatically increased by 181,492 shares.

During 2020, the Company granted to certain consultants fully vested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) under the 2014 Plan. The RSAs were granted as compensation in accordance with each consultants consulting agreement for services performed during 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, RSAs were granted for a total of 3,806 shares of common stock. No RSAs were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.

Stock-based compensation expense recorded under the Incentive Stock Plan and the 2014 Plan is included in the following line items in the accompanying statements of operations (in thousands):

There was $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

The fair values of the Deerfield Convertible Note, December 2019 Notes and the January 2020 Note were $7.3 million, $56.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The Deerfield Convertible Note, December 2019 Notes and the January 2020 Note were all extinguished in the first quarter of 2021 and therefore had no value as of March 31, 2021. The Deerfield Convertible Note, December 2019 Notes and the January 2020 Note fell within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as their value was based on the credit worthiness of the Company, which was an unobservable input. The Company used a Tsiveriotis-Fernandes model to value the Deerfield Convertible Note, December 2019 Notes and the January 2020 Note as of December 31, 2020.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made. The following table summarizes the conclusions reached regarding fair value measurements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

The Company’s Deerfield Warrant liability and embedded Warrant Put Option are, and the embedded Deerfield Note Put Option was, measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2021, the Deerfield Warrant liability and embedded Warrant Put Option are, and as of December 31, 2020 the Deerfield Warrant liability, embedded Warrant Put Option and the embedded Deerfield Note Conversion Feature were, reported on the unaudited condensed balance sheets in derivative and warrant liability. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation to value the Deerfield Warrant liability, embedded Warrant Put Option and the embedded Deerfield Note Conversion Feature for all periods presented. Significant unobservable inputs used in measuring the fair value of these financial instruments included the Company’s estimated enterprise value, an estimate of the timing of a liquidity or fundamental change event and a present value discount rate. Changes in the fair value of the Deerfield Warrant liability and embedded Warrant Put Option are, and changes in the fair value of the embedded Deerfield Note Put Option were, reflected in the unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as a fair value adjustment related to derivative and warrant liability.

The derivative liability for the Deerfield Warrant was $240,000 and $230,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The derivative liability for the embedded Warrant Put Option was $52,000 and $25,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The derivative liability for the Deerfield Note Conversion Feature had no value at December 31, 2020. A 10% increase in the enterprise value would result in an increase of $61,000 in the estimated fair value of the Deerfield Warrant liability and an increase of $1,000 in the estimated fair value of the embedded Warrant Put Option liability. In addition, the Company assumed a weighted-average probability of a liquidity event occurring of approximately 14% with an estimated probability-weighted value of approximately $35.3 million and a weighted-average probability of a fundamental change event occurring of approximately 30% with an estimated probability-weighted value of approximately $1.1 billion, respectively, with estimated timing in each scenario of the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Company’s KVK Warrant liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the KVK Warrant liability is reported on the unaudited condensed balance sheets in derivative and warrant liability. The Company estimates the fair value of the KVK Warrant using a probability-weighted Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the warrant, the expected stock price volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant. The expected term represents the period of time the warrant is expected to be outstanding. For the KVK Warrant, the Company used an expected term equal to the contractual term of the warrant. Expected volatility is based on the Company's historical volatility since the IPO. The Company assumes no dividend yield because dividends are not expected to be paid in the near future, which is consistent with the Company’s history of not paying dividends. Changes in the fair value of the KVK Warrant liability are reflected in the unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as a fair value adjustment related to derivative and warrant liability.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the derivative and warrant liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows (in thousands):

Under the two-class method, for periods with net income, basic net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income attributable to shares of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income attributable to shares of common stock is computed by subtracting from net income the portion of current period earnings that participating securities would have been entitled to receive pursuant to their dividend rights had all of the period’s earnings been distributed. No such adjustment to earnings is made during periods with a net loss as the holders of the participating securities have no obligation to fund losses. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed under the two-class method by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the potential dilutive effects of stock options and warrants. In addition, the Company analyzes the potential dilutive effect of the outstanding convertible securities under the if-converted method when calculating diluted loss per share of common stock in which it is assumed that the outstanding convertible securities convert into common stock at the beginning of the period or date of issuance, if the convertible security was issued during the period. The Company reports the more dilutive of the approaches (two-class or if-converted) as its diluted net loss per share of common stock during the period.

Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive for the respective periods. The following securities, presented on a common stock equivalent basis, have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding because their effect is anti-dilutive:

In February 2020, the Company eliminated the chief business officer role and Gordon K. Johnson separated from the Company. In connection with his separation, Mr. Johnson was entitled to severance benefits as documented in his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement entered into in June 2015. The severance benefits consisted of personnel and other related charges of approximately $0.4 million and stock compensation expense of approximately $0.4 million related to the acceleration of vesting on unvested shares subject to certain stock options. These severance benefits are presented as severance expense in the unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had accrued severance expense recorded within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $0.1 million. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was no accrued severance or severance expense, respectively.

The Company has operating and finance leases for office space, laboratory facilities and various laboratory equipment, furniture and office equipment and leasehold improvements. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to approximately 5 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. In February 2020, the Company agreed to sublease office space in Florida, comprised of one of the two contiguous suites, under a non-cancelable operating lease, which expires in February 2026. In October 2020, the Company agreed to terminate this sublease, in exchange for a termination payment, due to financial difficulties encountered by the subtenant as a result of COVID-19.

On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into the KP415 Amendment. Pursuant to the KP415 Amendment, the Company and Commave agreed to modify the compensation terms of the KP415 License Agreement. Pursuant to the KP415 Amendment, Commave paid the Company $10.0 million in connection with the entry into the KP415 Amendment as a result of the regulatory approval of AZSTARYS in the United States which occurred on March 2, 2021. Commave also agreed to pay the Company $10.0 million within thirty calendar days following receipt of the scheduling determination of the compound SDX by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (the "DEA"), which occurred on May 7, 2020. In addition, the KP415 Amendment increased the total remaining future regulatory and sales milestone payments related to AZSTARYS to up to an aggregate of $590.0 million in payments upon the occurrence of specified regulatory milestones related to AZSTARYS and upon the achievement of specified U.S. net sales milestones. Further, Commave agreed to pay the Company quarterly, tiered royalty payments ranging from a percentage in the high single digits to the mid-twenties of Net Sales in the United States and a percentage in the low to mid-single digits of Net Sales in each country outside the United States, in each case subject to specified reductions under certain conditions, including with respect to the final approval label, as described in the KP415 License Agreement. Commave is obligated to make such royalty payments on a product-by-product basis until expiration of the Royalty Term for the applicable product.

On May 7, 2021, the Company announced that SDX was classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance by the DEA. AZSTARYS is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance as it includes a 70:30 mixture of SDX (Schedule IV) and d-MPH (Schedule II), respectively. Per the KP415 Amendment, the Company earned a $10.0 million milestone payment which is payable within 30 days following the scheduling determination of SDX by the DEA.
