SCYNEXIS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.

Description of Business and Basis of Preparation

Organization

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (“SCYNEXIS” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on November 4, 1999. SCYNEXIS is a biotechnology company, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections.  The Company is developing its lead product candidate, ibrexafungerp, as a broad-spectrum, intravenous (IV)/oral agent for multiple fungal indications in both the community and hospital settings. In June 2021, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp 150mg tablets) for oral use in patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (“VVC”), also known as vaginal yeast infection, and the Company has commenced the commercialization of BREXAFEMME in the U.S.  

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its initial public offering in May 2014 and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $329.6 million at June 30, 2021 and limited capital resources to fund ongoing operations. These capital resources primarily comprised cash and cash equivalents of $112.4 million at June 30, 2021. While the Company believes its capital resources are sufficient to fund the Company’s on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's liquidity could be materially affected over this period by, among other things: (1) its ability to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding; (2) costs associated with new or existing strategic alliances, or licensing and collaboration arrangements; (3) negative regulatory events or unanticipated costs related to its development of ibrexafungerp; (4) its ability to commercialize ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and; (5) any other unanticipated material negative events or costs.  One or more of these events or costs could materially affect the Company’s liquidity.  If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its research and development programs, or make significant changes to its operating plan.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Reverse Stock Split

On July 16, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), which became effective on Friday, July 17, 2020, (a) implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and (b) decreasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.  All share and per share amounts presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse stock split and certain items in the prior period financial statements have been revised to conform to the current presentation.  The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split effected a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding.

New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program

The New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) program, administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, enables approved biotechnology companies to sell their unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) and research and development tax credits to unaffiliated, profitable corporate taxpayers in the State of New Jersey.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a $4.1 million income tax benefit for the sale of a portion of the Company’s unused New Jersey NOLs and research and development credits.  

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.  The results of operations

Table of Contents

 

for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC) on March 29, 2021.  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include: determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation grants; the estimate of services and effort expended by third-party research and development service providers used to recognize research and development expense; and the estimates and assumptions utilized in measuring the fair values of the warrant and derivative liabilities each reporting period.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described below.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs include amounts related to third party manufacturing.  Prior to the regulatory approval of an investigational drug, the Company recognizes as research and development expense costs related to the manufacture of an investigational drug when incurred.  Upon regulatory approval, the Company begins capitalizing such manufacturing expenses as inventory.  For BREXAFEMME, capitalization of costs as inventory began upon regulatory approval on June 2, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has entered into arrangements involving the sale or license of intellectual property and the provision of other services.  When entering into any arrangement involving the sale or license of intellectual property rights and other services, the Company determines whether the arrangement is subject to accounting guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), as well as ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements ("Topic 808"). If the Company determines that an arrangement includes goods or services that are central to the Company’s business operations for consideration, the Company will then identify the performance obligations in the contract using the unit-of-account guidance in Topic 606.  For a distinct unit-of-account that is within the scope of Topic 606, the Company applies all of the accounting requirements in Topic 606 to that unit-of-account, including the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements.  For a distinct unit-of-account that is not within the scope of Topic 606, the Company will recognize and measure the distinct unit-of-account based on other authoritative ASC Topics or on a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied policy election.

Analyzing the arrangement to identify performance obligations requires the use of judgment. In arrangements that include the sale or license of intellectual property and other promised services, the Company first identifies if the licenses are distinct from the other promises in the arrangement.  If the license is not distinct, the license is combined with other services into a single performance obligation. Factors that are considered in evaluating whether a license is distinct from other promised services include, for example, whether the counterparty can benefit from the license without the promised service on its own or with other readily available resources and whether the promised service is expected to significantly modify or customize the intellectual property.

The Company classifies non-refundable upfront payments, milestone payments and royalties received for the sale or license of intellectual property as revenues within its statements of operations because the Company views such activities as being central to its business operations. For the sale of intellectual property that is distinct, fixed consideration and variable consideration are included in the transaction price and recognized in revenue immediately to the extent that it is probable that there would not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue in the future.  For the license of intellectual property that is distinct, fixed and variable consideration (to the extent there will not be a significant reversal in the future) are also recognized immediately in income, except for consideration received in the form of royalty or sales-based milestones, which is recorded when the customer’s subsequent sales or usages occur.  If the sale or license of intellectual property is not distinct, revenue is deferred and recognized over the estimated period of the Company’s combined performance obligation.  For contractual arrangements that meet the definition of a collaborative arrangement under Topic 808, consideration received for any units-of-account that are outside the scope of Topic 606 are recognized in the statements of operations by considering (i) the nature of the arrangement, (ii) the nature of the Company’s business operations, and (iii) the contractual terms of the arrangement.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company calculates net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Per ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding utilized for determining the basic net income (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 includes the pre-funded warrants to purchase 5,260,000 shares of common stock issued in the December 2020 Public Offering.  Diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was determined as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2019-10”), which revised the effective dates for ASU 2016-13 for public business entities that meet the SEC definition of a smaller reporting company to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.  As a smaller reporting company, the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in and Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The amendments in ASU 2020-06 reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt

instruments and revises certain guidance relating to the derivative scope exception and earnings per share.  The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer and a smaller reporting company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those years.  As a smaller reporting company, the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. This guidance was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2021 and it did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings

Loan Agreement

On May 13, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (“SVB,” and collectively with Hercules, the “Lenders”) for an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the “Term Loan”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Term Loan is available to the Company in four tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company received an initial tranche of $20.0 million from the Lenders on the Closing Date. The second tranche of the Term Loan, consisting of up to an additional $10.0 million, became available to the Company upon receipt of approval from the FDA of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections (the “First Performance Milestone”) and was fully funded in June 2021.  The third tranche of the Term Loan, consisting of an additional $5.0 million, will be available to the Company upon (a) the First Performance Milestone and (b) the achievement of the primary endpoint from the Phase 3 study of ibrexafungerp in patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, and will be available, if specified conditions are met, from September 30, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The fourth tranche of the Term Loan, consisting of up to an additional $25.0 million, will be available to the Company from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023 in $5.0 million increments, subject to certain terms and conditions, including in maintaining a ratio of total outstanding Term Loan principal to net product revenues for ibrexafungerp below a certain specified level for a given draw period.  The Company estimated the fair value of the loan payable using a credit spread valuation model and Level 3 inputs which included an implied secured spread, risk free rate, and secured yield of 9.45%, 0.54%, and 9.99%, respectively.  At June 30, 2021, the fair value of the loan payable is $29.2 million.

The Term Loan will mature on March 3, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”); provided that, the Maturity Date shall be automatically extended to May 1, 2025 subject to the occurrence of certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Term Loan bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.05% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 5.80% (the “Interest Rate”). The Company may make payments of interest only through November 1,

Table of Contents

 

2023, which may be extended to May 1, 2024 upon the achievement of the First Performance Milestone prior to November 1, 2023, and which is further extendable in quarterly increments until the Maturity Date, subject to continued compliance with the financial covenant of the Loan Agreement (the “interest-only period”). After the interest-only period, the principal balance and related interest will be required to be repaid in equal monthly installments and continuing until the Maturity Date.

The Loan Agreement contains customary closing fees, prepayment fees and provisions, events of default, and representations, warranties and covenants, including a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain certain levels of trailing three-month net product revenue solely from the sale of ibrexafungerp commencing on June 30, 2022. The financial covenant will be waived at any time in which the Company maintains unrestricted and unencumbered cash in accounts maintained with SVB equal to at least 50.0% of the total outstanding Term Loan principal amount, subject to certain requirements.  

Future principal debt payments on the currently outstanding loan payable as of June 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

April 2020 Note Purchase Agreement

On April 9, 2020, the Company entered into the April 2020 Note Purchase Agreement with Puissance Life Science Opportunities Fund VI (“Puissance”) and issued and sold to Puissance $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of its April 2020 Notes, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $9.5 million after deducting $0.5 million for an advisory fee and other issuance costs.  At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the April 2020 Notes was $7.4 million.  

In January 2021, Puissance converted the remaining $6.0 million of the April 2020 Notes for 959,080 shares of common stock.  Upon conversion of the $6.0 million of the April 2020 Notes, the Company recognized a $2.7 million extinguishment loss which represents the difference between the total net carrying amount of the convertible debt and derivative liability of $4.8 million and the fair value of the consideration issued of $7.5 million.  

March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Senior Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement”) with Puissance.  Pursuant to the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, on March 7, 2019, the Company issued and sold to Puissance $16.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2025 (“March 2019 Notes”), resulting in $14.7 million in net proceeds after deducting $1.3 million for an advisory fee and other issuance costs.  

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s March 2019 Notes consists of the convertible debt balance of $9.8 million, presented net of the unamortized debt issuance costs allocated to the convertible debt of $0.4 million, and the bifurcated embedded conversion option derivative liability of $2.2 million.  In connection with the Company’s issuance of its March 2019 Notes, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option, inclusive of the interest make-whole provision and make-whole fundamental change provision, and recorded the embedded conversion option as a long-term derivative liability in the Company’s balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, at its initial fair value of $7.0 million as the interest make-whole provision is settled in shares of common stock.  The convertible debt and derivative liability associated with the March 2019 Notes are presented in total on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as the convertible debt and derivative liability.  The derivative liability will be remeasured at each reporting period using the binomial lattice model with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations in other (income) expense.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a gain of $0.5 million and a loss of $0.2 million, respectively, on the fair value adjustment for the derivative liability.  For both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized gains of $0.5 million on the fair value adjustment for the derivative liability.  For both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0.2 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount related to the March 2019 Notes.  For both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0.5 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount related to the March 2019 Notes.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the convertible debt and derivative liability for the March 2019 Notes is $12.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

The March 2019 Notes were issued and sold for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), due to the March 2019 Notes being issued to one financially sophisticated investor. The March 2019 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2019. The March 2019 Notes will mature on March 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The March 2019 Notes constitute general, senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The holder of the March 2019 Notes may convert their March 2019 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2025 into shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion rate is 73.9096 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of March 2019 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.53 and is subject to adjustment in certain events described in the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement. The Holder upon conversion may also be entitled to receive, under certain circumstances, an interest make-whole payment payable in shares of common stock. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate if the holder elects to convert its March 2019 Notes in connection with such a corporate event. Subject to adjustment in the conversion rate, the number of shares that the Company may deliver in connection with a conversion of the March 2019 Notes, including those delivered in connection with an interest make-whole payment, will not exceed a cap of 81 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the March 2019 Notes.  

On or after March 15, 2022, the Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all or any portion of the March 2019 Notes not previously converted if the last reported sale price per share of common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the March 2019 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.  If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement) occurs, then, subject to certain exceptions, the Company must offer to repurchase the March 2019 Notes for cash at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the March 2019 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a long-term lease agreement for approximately 19,275 square feet of office space in Jersey City, New Jersey, that the Company identified as an operating lease under ASC 842 (the “Lease”). The lease term is eleven years from August 1, 2018, the commencement date, with total lease payments of $7.3 million over the lease term. The Company has the option to renew for two consecutive five-year periods from the end of the first term and the Company is not reasonably certain that the option to renew the Lease will be exercised. Under the Lease, the Company furnished a security deposit in the form of a standby letter of credit in the amount of $0.3 million, which was reduced by fifty-five thousand dollars on the first anniversary of the commencement date.  The security deposit will continue to be reduced by fifty-five thousand dollars every two years on the commencement date anniversary for eight years. The security deposit is classified as restricted cash in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The consideration in the Lease allocated to the single lease component includes the fixed payments for the right to use the office space as well as common area maintenance.  The Lease also contains costs associated with certain expense escalation, property taxes, insurance, parking, and utilities which are all considered variable payments and are excluded from the operating lease liability.  The incremental borrowing rate utilized approximated the prevailing market interest rate the Company would incur to borrow a similar amount equal to the total Lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the Lease.  The following table summarizes certain quantitative information associated with the amounts recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Lease (dollars in thousands):

License Arrangement with Potential Future Expenditures

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a license arrangement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., or Merck, as amended, that involves potential future expenditures. Under the license arrangement, executed in May 2013, the Company exclusively licensed from Merck its rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health.  In January 2014, Merck assigned the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to the Company.  Ibrexafungerp is the Company's lead product candidate. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, Merck was originally eligible to receive milestone payments from the Company that could total $19.0 million upon occurrence of specific events, including initiation of a Phase 3 clinical study, new drug application, and marketing approvals in each of the U.S., major European markets, and Japan. In addition, Merck is eligible to receive tiered royalties from the Company based on a percentage of worldwide net sales of ibrexafungerp. The aggregate royalties are mid- to high-single digits.

 

In December 2014, the Company and Merck entered into an amendment to the license agreement that deferred the remittance of a milestone payment due to Merck, such that no amount would be due upon initiation of the first Phase 2 clinical

trial of a product containing the ibrexafungerp compound (the “Deferred Milestone”). The amendment also increased, in an amount equal to the Deferred Milestone, the milestone payment that would be due upon initiation of the first Phase 3 clinical trial of a product containing the ibrexafungerp compound.  In December 2016 and January 2018, the Company entered into second and third amendments to the license agreement with Merck which clarified what would constitute the initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial for the purpose of milestone payment.  In January 2019, a milestone payment became due to Merck as a result of the initiation of the VANISH Phase 3 VVC program and was paid in March 2019.  On December 2, 2020, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the license agreement with Merck.  The amendment eliminates two cash milestone payments that the Company would have paid to Merck upon the first filing of an NDA, triggered by the FDA acceptance for filing of the Company’s NDA for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC, and first marketing approval in the U.S., anticipated in June 2021 for the Company’s NDA for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC.  Such cash milestone payments would have been creditable against future royalties owed to Merck on net sales of ibrexafungerp. With the amendment, these milestones will not be paid in cash and, accordingly, credits will not accrue. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company will also forfeit the credits against future royalties that it had accrued from a prior milestone payment already paid to Merck.  All other key terms of the license agreement are unchanged.

Clinical Development Arrangements

The Company has entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties who support its clinical trials, preclinical research studies, and other services related to its development activities. The scope of the services under these agreements can generally be modified at any time, and the agreement can be terminated by either party after a period of notice and receipt of written notice.

Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized, Issued, and Outstanding Common Stock

The Company’s authorized common stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and consists of 100,000,000 shares as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020; 23,147,552 and 19,663,698 shares were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

On July 16, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation  (the “Amendment”), which became effective on Friday, July 17, 2020, (a) implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and (b) decreasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On April 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Aspire Capital from time to time in its sole discretion up to $20.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock over the next 30 months, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to Aspire Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 1,956,547 shares of the Company’s common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), including the 70,910 commitment shares (the Exchange Cap), unless either (a) shareholder approval is obtained to issue more, in which case the Exchange Cap will not apply, or (b) the average purchase price of all shares sold under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement exceeds $8.461; provided that at no time shall Aspire Capital (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not sell any shares of its common stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Warrants Associated with the March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020 Public Offerings

The outstanding warrants associated with the March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020 public offerings contain a provision where the warrant holder has the option to receive cash, equal to the Black-Scholes fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant, as cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined to include various merger, acquisition or stock transfer activities). Due to this provision, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires that these warrants be classified as liabilities. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 360,134 and 2,060,000 of the December 2020 public offering warrants and prefunded warrants were exercised for proceeds of $2.6 million and $2,000, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized gains of $15.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in the warrant liabilities fair value adjustment.  During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized gains of $16.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in the warrant liabilities fair

value adjustment.  As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the warrant liabilities was $35.0 million and $51.2 million, respectively.

Warrants Associated with Loan Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to each of Hercules and SVB a warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”).  The amount of shares that may be purchased for the Warrants, collectively between Hercules and SVB, will not exceed 0.04 multiplied by the aggregate amount of the term loan advances, divided by the exercise price of the Warrants.  At the closing of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued 113,607 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and recognized the initial warrants at their relative fair value in shareholder's equity.  In accordance with ASC 815-40, the remaining warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at closing were recognized at their fair value as warrant liabilities given the variable settlement amount of the warrant shares.  

Warrant Associated with Solar Loan

On the closing date of the Company’s previous loan agreement with Solar, pursuant to the loan agreement the Company issued to Solar the warrant to purchase an aggregate of up to 12,243 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $36.754 per share. The warrant will expire five years from the date of the grant. The warrant was classified as equity and recorded at its relative fair value at issuance in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Stock-based Compensation

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), on January 1, 2021 and 2020, the Company automatically added 786,547 and 389,650 shares to the total number shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2014 Plan, respectively.

The fair value of RSUs is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  RSUs generally vest 25% annually over a four-year period from the date of grant. Upon vesting, the RSUs are net share settled to cover the required withholding tax with the remaining shares issued to the holder.  The Company recognizes compensation expense for such awards ratably over the corresponding vesting period.

Compensation Cost

The compensation cost that has been charged against income for stock awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2015 Plan was $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was zero for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The Company measures cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the Level 3 warrant liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility.  The unobservable input for all of the Level 3 warrant liabilities includes volatility.  The historical volatility of the Company, using its closing common stock prices, is utilized to reflect future volatility over the expected term of the warrants.  At June 30, 2021, the range and weighted average of the Level 3 volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model to fair value the warrant liabilities were 67.6% to 77.2% and 73.7%, respectively.  The Company utilizes a probability assessment to estimate the likelihood of vesting for the remaining Loan Agreement warrants and allocated the probability of occurrence percentage to the fair values calculated.  

The Company uses the binomial lattice valuation model to value the Level 3 derivative liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.  This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, dividend yield, risk-free rate, historical volatility, credit rating, market credit spread, and estimated effective yield.  The unobservable inputs associated with the Level 3 derivative liabilities are adjusted equity volatility, market credit spread, and

estimated yield.  As of June 30, 2021, these inputs were 61.3%, 1,397 basis points, and 14.6%, respectively.  The senior convertible notes are initially fair valued using the binomial lattice model and with the straight debt fair value calculated using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount for lack of marketability, 7.0% as of June 30, 2021, is applied to the value of the March 2019 Notes.  The residual difference represents the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities are reassessed using the binomial lattice valuation model on a quarterly basis.

License Agreement Revenue

In February 2021, the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hansoh (Shanghai) Health Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Company Limited (collectively, “Hansoh”), pursuant to which the Company granted to Hansoh an exclusive license to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (the “Territory”).  The Company also granted to Hansoh a non-exclusive license to manufacture ibrexafungerp solely for development and commercialization in the Territory. Under the terms of the Agreement, Hansoh shall be responsible for the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of ibrexafungerp in the Territory.  

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company received as consideration for the licenses a nonrefundable upfront cash payment of $10.0 million and is entitled to an additional payment that was payable upon the transfer of certain data related to the manufacturing license.  In addition, the Company will also be eligible to receive up to $110.0 million in potential development and commercial milestones.  In addition, during the term of the licensing agreement, the Company is entitled to low double-digit royalties on net product sales.  The obligation to pay royalties with respect to sales in a specified region will continue until the later of the date of expiration of all intellectual property and regulatory exclusivity for the product in the region and ten years from the first commercial sale, unless earlier terminated by Hansoh with advanced notice for convenience or under other specified circumstances.  The Company is also eligible to receive a milestone related to the successful completion of a manufacturing batch by Hansoh.

The Company evaluated the Agreement and concluded that it was subject to ASC 606 as the Company viewed the Agreement as a contract with a customer as the activities were central to its business operations.  As such, the Company assessed the terms of the Agreement and identified one performance obligation for the licenses to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Territory, including the underlying know-how related to such licenses.  The Company also evaluated options for additional goods and services included in the Agreement related to (1) optional technical assistance related to development, regulatory or manufacturing activities and (2) an optional supply agreement for ibrexafungerp.  Such options for additional goods or services were not considered to contain material rights as pricing approximated standalone selling prices and therefore the Company concluded that such options did not represent performance obligations and will be accounted for as separate transactions if and when they occur in the future.

The Company determined that the transaction price of $12.1 million included the fixed upfront cash payment of $10.0 million, an additional amount that was payable upon the transfer of certain data related to the manufacturing license, and $1.1 million related to withholding tax obligations that Hansoh remitted on behalf of the Company.  The remaining amounts related to the successful completion of a manufacturing batch by Hansoh and potential development milestones represent variable consideration and were constrained as it was concluded that it was not probable that a significant reversal in cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and therefore not included in the transaction price as of June 30, 2021.  Potential commercial milestones and royalties on net product sales will be recognized in the same period that the underlying net product sales occur as they were determined to relate to the license.  The transaction price was recorded in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 at a point in time upon control of the license transferring to Hansoh.  The Company will reevaluate the transaction price at the end of each reporting period as uncertain events or resolved, or as other changes in circumstances occur.

Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, both the Company and Hansoh agreed to make reasonable efforts to account for applicable taxes, fees, duties, levies, or similar amounts imposed on net income, franchise taxes and profits arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Agreement.  To the extent Hansoh is required by applicable laws to withhold or deduct any tax on any payment to the Company, Hansoh agreed to make certain increases on payments to the Company to ensure that the Company receives a sum equal to what the Company would have received had there been no deduction or withholding.  As a result, the Company has recorded revenue and tax withholding expense primarily associated with the up-front payment received by the Company on a gross basis.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $1.1 million in revenue and $1.1 million in income tax expense to account for the tax withholding expense primarily on the $10.0 million up-front that the Company is responsible to remit under applicable tax law.  

In July 2016, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with UK-based Cypralis Limited (or "Cypralis"), a life sciences company, for the sale of its cyclophilin inhibitor assets. Cypralis also acquired all patents, patent applications and know-how related to the acquired portfolio. In connection with the asset purchase agreement, the Company is eligible to receive milestone payments upon the successful progression of Cypralis clinical candidates into later stage clinical studies and royalties payable upon product commercialization. The Company retains the right to repurchase the portfolio assets from Cypralis if abandoned or deprioritized.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no revenue recognized associated with this agreement given the variable consideration associated with the sale of intellectual property to Cypralis was fully constrained as of March 31, 2021.  Additionally, in October 2014 the Company entered into a license agreement with Waterstone Pharmaceutical HK Limited (or “Waterstone”) and granted Waterstone an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize certain non-strategic compounds.  The Company is entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties from Waterstone; however, there was no revenue recognized by the Company associated with this agreement given the variable consideration was fully constrained as of June 30, 2021.

These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

Overview

SCYNEXIS, Inc. is pioneering innovative medicines to potentially help millions of patients worldwide in need of new options to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections.  We are developing our lead product candidate, ibrexafungerp, as a broad-spectrum, intravenous (IV)/oral agent for multiple fungal indications in both the community and hospital settings. In June 2021, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BREXAFEMMEâ (ibrexafungerp 150mg tablets) for oral use in patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), also known as vaginal yeast infection, and we have commenced the commercialization of BREXAFEMME in the U.S.  We are also continuing late-stage clinical development of ibrexafungerp for the prevention of recurrent VVC as well as the treatment of life-threatening invasive fungal infections in hospitalized patients.

Ibrexafungerp, the first representative of a novel class of antifungal agents called triterpenoids and designated by the suffix “-fungerp”, is a structurally distinct glucan synthase inhibitor and has shown in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad range of human fungal pathogens such as Candida and Aspergillus species, including multidrug-resistant strains, as well as Pneumocystis, Coccidioides, Histoplasma and Blastomyces species. Candida and Aspergillus species are the fungi responsible for approximately 85% of all invasive fungal infections in the United States (U.S.) and Europe. To date, we have characterized the antifungal activity, pharmacokinetics, and safety profile of the oral and IV formulations of ibrexafungerp in multiple in vitroin vivo, and clinical studies. The FDA has granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations to ibrexafungerp for the indications of VVC (including the treatment of VVC episodes and the prevention of recurrent VVC), invasive candidiasis (IC) (including candidemia), and invasive aspergillosis (IA), and has granted Orphan Drug designations for the IC and IA indications. These designations may provide us with additional market exclusivity and expedited regulatory paths.

BREXAFEMME Update

In June 2021, we announced that the FDA approved BREXAFEMME for oral use in patients with VVC with approval based on the positive results from two Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center studies (VANISH-303 and VANISH-306), in which oral ibrexafungerp demonstrated statistically superior efficacy compared to placebo and a favorable tolerability profile in women with VVC.  The FDA granted BREXAFEMME five years of exclusivity extension under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act, which will be added to any other applicable exclusivity periods, such as the five years of new chemical entity (NCE) exclusivity, for a combined ten-year period of regulatory exclusivity. BREXAFEMME is also protected by multiple patents, including a composition-of-matter patent covering the ibrexafungerp molecule. With patent term extension, this patent is expected to expire in 2035, providing an expected 14 years of protection from generic competitors in the U.S. 

Treatments for VVC have historically included several topical azole antifungals and oral fluconazole.  Approximately 80% of VVC sufferers will have more than one yeast infection and over a third of women may have six yeast infections or more in a lifetime. There are over 17 million prescriptions written for VVC in the U.S. annually, all of which belong to a single drug class, the azoles.  Additionally, of the 9.5 million women in the U.S. who received a prescription for VVC in the previous year, about 40% of them required multiple prescriptions, illustrating that many patients’ symptoms are not adequately addressed by existing azole treatments.

We have partnered with Amplity Inc. (Amplity), a leading global contract commercialization organization, to support the ongoing U.S. commercialization of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of VVC which commenced in August 2021. We are utilizing Amplity’s commercial execution expertise and resources for sales force, remote engagement, training, market access and select operations services.  BREXAFEMME is now available at pharmacies and our full sales team is in the field actively engaging healthcare providers (HCPs). An Early Experience Program was successfully implemented with key HCPs in July 2021, confirming the need for a new treatment option and their willingness to prescribe BREXAFEMME. The Pharmacy and Therapeutic (P&T) review process with payers continues to rapidly progress with many P&T meetings already scheduled.

Ibrexafungerp Update

Enrollment is complete in the CANDLE study, a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ibrexafungerp for the prevention of recurrent VVC, for which there is no approved therapy in the U.S.  We expect the last-patient/last-visit for the CANDLE study by the end of 2021.  We anticipate both top-line data and a potential supplemental NDA submission for the prevention of recurrent VVC in the first half of 2022, resulting in a potential approval in late 2022.

Enrollment is ongoing in our refractory invasive fungal infections (rIFI) program, which comprises two open-label Phase 3 studies (FURI and CARES) designed to support a potential future NDA submission for ibrexafungerp through the Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (LPAD), as well as our Phase 2 study (SCYNERGIA study) of oral ibrexafungerp in combination with voriconazole (SoC) in patients with IA.  We intend to continue to enroll and analyze the data of patients that have completed the treatment course in our FURI and CARES studies.

Enrollment is ongoing in our Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the IV liposomal formulation of ibrexafungerp in healthy subjects.  The study is being conducted in South Africa and dosing started in March 2021.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020.  The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on our operations is uncertain.  We have continued to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and have not identified any significant adverse effects on our business.

Corporate Update

In May 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (Hercules), as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Agent) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (SVB), and collectively with Hercules, the Lenders) for an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the Term Loan).  We received $20.0 upon closing of the Loan Agreement and $10.0 million upon the FDA approval of BREXAFEMME for oral use in patients with VVC. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Term Loan is now available to us in two additional tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions.

In May 2021, we entered into an agreement with a third party to sell a portion of our unused New Jersey NOLs and research and development credits for approximately $4.2 million.

In February 2021, we partnered with Amplity Inc. (Amplity) for the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of VVC.  Under the terms of the 5-year agreement, we are utilizing Amplity’s commercial execution expertise and resources for sales force, remote engagement, training, market access and select operations services.   Amplity is deferring a portion of its direct service costs in the first two years (2021 and 2022), which we will repay over three years starting in 2023.  Amplity has the potential to earn a performance-based success fee in the 2023-2025 time frame by exceeding certain revenue targets.

In February 2021, we entered into an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement (the Hansoh Agreement) with Hansoh (Shanghai) Health Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Company Limited (collectively, Hansoh), pursuant to which Hansoh obtains an exclusive license from us to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Under the terms of the Hansoh Agreement, Hansoh shall be responsible for the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of ibrexafungerp in Greater China. We received a $10.0 million upfront payment in the first quarter of 2021 and will also be eligible to receive development and commercial milestones, plus low double-digit royalties on net product sales.

Liquidity

We have operated as a public entity since we completed our initial public offering (IPO) of our common stock in May 2014. We also completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock in April 2015 and public offerings of our common

20


Table of Contents

 

stock and warrants in June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020.  As of June 30, 2021, we had received an aggregate of $253.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and warrants in these six offerings.  Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $112.4 million as of June 30, 2021, and availability to issue up to $17.3 million of our common stock under our common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.  We received $30.0 million under our Term Loan and could potentially be eligible to receive up to an additional $30.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions.

We have incurred net losses since our inception, including the year ended December 31, 2020, and the six months ended June 30, 2021.  As of June 30, 2021, our accumulated deficit was $329.6 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next several years.  We expect we will continue to incur significant research and development expense as we continue to execute our research and drug development strategy, but that our research and development expenses will decrease primarily given the completion of the VANISH Phase 3 registration program and the completion of enrollment in the CANDLE Phase 3 study.  Consistent with our operating plan, we also expect that we will continue to incur significant selling, general and administrative expenses to support our public reporting company operations, and that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the VVC indication and our ongoing operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registrations, and the common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.

We are party to a number of licensing and collaboration agreements with partners in human health, including: (1) Merck, a pharmaceutical company, under which we exclusively licensed the rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health, and agreed to pay Merck milestones upon the occurrence of specified events as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide sales of ibrexafungerp when and if it is approved (in 2014, Merck assigned to us the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to us and, as contemplated by the agreement, we will continue to pay milestones and royalties); (2) Hansoh, a pharmaceutical company, which we exclusively provide a license from us to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, under which we are entitled to receive development and commercial milestones and royalties (3) R-Pharm, CJSC, or "R-Pharm," a leading supplier of hospital drugs in Russia, granting it exclusive rights in the field of human health to develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in Russia and several non-core markets, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties and reimbursement for certain development costs incurred by us; (4) Waterstone, an international pharmaceutical business, granting Waterstone exclusive worldwide rights to development and commercialization of SCY-635 for the treatment of viral diseases in humans, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties; and (5) Cypralis Limited, or "Cypralis," a life sciences company, transferring to it certain cyclophilin inhibitor assets of ours, under which we are eligible to receive milestone payments upon the successful progression of certain Cypralis clinical candidates into later stage clinical studies and royalties payable upon product commercialization.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

Revenue primarily consists of a non-refundable upfront payment received under our license agreement with Hansoh.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover, develop, or improve potential product candidates we seek to develop. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing and other development efforts, and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consists of:

 

costs related to executing preclinical and clinical trials, including development milestones, drug formulation, manufacturing and other development;

 

salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits and any stock-based compensation, for personnel in research and development functions;

 

fees paid to consultants and other third parties who support our product candidate development and intellectual property protection;

21


Table of Contents

 

 

other costs in seeking regulatory approval of our products; and

 

allocated overhead.

Our ibrexafungerp project was the only significant research and development project during the periods presented.  We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expense for the foreseeable future as we continue our effort to develop ibrexafungerp, and to potentially develop our other product candidates, subject to the availability of additional funding.  

The successful development of product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, including employee benefits and any stock-based compensation. This includes personnel in executive, finance, human resources, business development, medical affairs, marketing, and administrative support functions. Other expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal services, consulting costs for general and administrative purposes, information systems maintenance and marketing efforts.

Other Expense (Income)

All of our other income recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, consists of amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, interest income, interest expense, other income, the warrant liabilities fair value adjustment, the derivative liabilities fair value adjustment, and the loss recognized for the extinguishment of debt.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

All of our income tax (benefit) expense recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 consists of an income tax benefit associated with the sale of our NOLs and research and development credits and tax withholding expense associated with the upfront payment received from Hansoh.

Research and Development. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, research and development expenses decreased to $4.7 million compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.  The decrease of $3.8 million, or 44%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.5 million in chemistry, manufacturing, and

22


Table of Contents

 

controls (CMC) expense, a decrease of $1.4 million in clinical development expense, a decrease of $0.3 million in preclinical expense, a decrease of $0.2 million in regulatory expense, and a net decrease in other research and development expense of $0.4 million.

The $1.5 million decrease in CMC for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a $0.9 million expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020 for drug product shipped in the period.  The $1.4 million decrease in clinical development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease of $0.8 million and $0.5 million in expense associated with our CANDLE Phase 3 study and the VANISH Phase 3 program, respectively.  Additionally, we incurred a decrease of $0.3 million in expense associated with the SCYNERGIA study.  The $0.3 million decrease in preclinical expenses was primarily driven by a $0.3 million decrease in certain pharmacokinetic and preclinical expenses incurred during the prior year comparable quarter.  

Selling, General & Administrative. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $12.8 million from $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $9.4 million, or 281%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a $5.8 million increase in commercial related expense associated with the ongoing commercialization of BREXAFEMME, an increase of $1.1 million in salary related costs, an increase of $1.0 million in medical affairs expense, an increase of $0.8 million in expense associated with increased information technology costs, and a net increase of $0.7 million in other selling, general and administrative expense.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount. For both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.3 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount.  The 2021 and 2020 debt issuance costs and discount for both the April 2020 and March 2019 convertible notes primarily consisted of an allocated portion of advisory fees and other issuance costs.

Interest Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $6,000 and $36,000, respectively, in interest income primarily on our money market fund.

Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.4 million and $0.3 million in interest expense.  The interest expense recognized in both periods is primarily associated with the Loan Agreement and the April 2020 and March 2019 convertible notes.  

Other Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $0.1 million in other income associated with certain research and development tax credits.

Other Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $0.6 million in expense associated with the noncash consideration associated with the common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.

Warrant Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized gains of $15.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the warrant liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarter.  

Derivative Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized gains of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the derivative liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarter.  

Income Tax Benefit.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a $4.1 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits, compared to a $3.1 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Revenue. Revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2021, consists primarily of a non-refundable upfront payment received under our license agreement with Hansoh.  

Research and Development. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, research and development expenses decreased to $11.7 million from $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The decrease of $6.7 million, or 36%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease of $3.5 million in clinical development expense, a decrease of $2.4 million in chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) expense, a decrease of $0.7 million in preclinical expense, a decrease of $0.2 million in regulatory expense, offset by a net increase of $0.1 million in other research and development expense.

The $3.5 million decrease in clinical development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.2 million and $0.9 million in expense associated with the VANISH Phase 3 program and CANDLE study, respectively.  Additionally, we incurred a decrease of $1.0 million and $0.9 million in expense associated with two drug-drug interaction studies to support the NDA for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and the SCYNERGIA study, respectively.  The $2.4 million decrease in CMC for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by $2.1 million in expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 for drug product shipped in the period.  The $0.7 million decrease in preclinical expenses was primarily driven by a $0.7 million decrease in certain pharmacokinetic and preclinical expenses incurred during the prior comparable period.  

Selling, General & Administrative. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $19.5 million from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $13.5 million, or 226%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by a $7.3 million increase in commercial related expense, an increase of $1.4 million in salary related costs, an increase of $1.3 million in expense associated with increased information technology, and an increase of $1.0 million in medical affairs expense, all primarily due to the costs recognized to support the ongoing commercialization of BREXAFEMME.  The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was also driven by an increase of $1.2 million in business development expense associated with the licensing agreement entered into with Hansoh in February 2021, a $0.8 million increase in certain professional fees, and a net increase of $0.5 million in other selling, general and administrative expense.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $2.7 million in loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the January 2021 conversation of our remaining April 2020 convertible notes.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.5 million and $0.6 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount.  The 2021 and 2020 debt issuance costs and

24


Table of Contents

 

discount for both the April 2020 and March 2019 convertible notes primarily consisted of an allocated portion of advisory fees and other issuance costs.

Interest Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $12,000 and $0.2 million, respectively, in interest income.  The decrease was primarily due to the maturity of all our short-term investments during 2020.

Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.7 million and $0.5 million in interest expense, respectively.  The interest expense recognized in the periods is primarily associated with the Loan Agreement and the April 2020 and March 2019 convertible notes.  

Other Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $0.4 million in other income associated with certain research and development tax credits.

Other Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $0.6 million in expense associated with the noncash consideration associated with the common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.

Warrant Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized gains of $16.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the warrant liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarter.  

Derivative Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized gains of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the derivative liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarter.  

Income Tax Benefit.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a $4.1 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits and $1.1 million of tax withholding expense primarily associated with the upfront payment received from Hansoh.  For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a $3.1 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Through June 30, 2021, we have primarily funded our operations from net proceeds from equity and debt issuances and through revenue from development services. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $112.4 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $93.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase in our cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the $28.7 million in net proceeds received from the Loan Agreement and the $10.0 million cash receipt from Hansoh, offset in part by our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp.  We have incurred annual net losses since our inception, and we incurred a net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  As of June 30, 2021, our accumulated deficit was $329.6 million.

We expect that we will continue to incur losses for at least the foreseeable future.  Consistent with our operating plan, we expect our research and development expenses to decrease primarily given the completion of the VANISH Phase 3 registration program and the completion of enrollment in our CANDLE study and we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support the ongoing commercial launch for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and our ongoing operations. As a result, we may need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registrations, including the related at-the-market facility entered into on May 17, 2021 with Cantor and Ladenburg, and the common stock purchase agreement entered into on April 10, 2020 with Aspire Capital.  During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold 96,668 shares and received net proceeds of $0.8 million under our at-the-market facility and issued 2,420,134 shares of common stock upon exercise of the December 2020 public offering warrants and prefunded warrants for proceeds of $2.6 million.

Operating Activities

The $10.5 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily due to the $28.7 million in net proceeds received from the Loan Agreement and the cash receipt of $10.0 million from Hansoh received during the current period which offset our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp.  Consistent with our operating plan, we expect that our research and development expenses will decrease primarily given the completion of the VANISH Phase 3 registration program and the completion of enrollment in the CANDLE Phase 3 study and we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and our ongoing operations.

Net cash used in operating activities of $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily consisted of the $3.0 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $16.6 million, the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $0.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $0.5 million, and the loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million, plus a net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $3.1 million. The net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other of $1.2 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other of $1.9 million.  The $1.2 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $1.3 million and an increase of $0.8 million in other liabilities associated with the long term deferred fees due to Amplity, offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in accrued expenses primarily due to the payment of the 2020 related employee bonus compensation in 2021.  The decrease in prepaid expense, deferred cost, and other of $1.9 million was primarily due to the collection of a $2.9 million receivable in February 2021, primarily offset by an increase of $0.4 million in prepaid insurance.

Net cash used in operating activities of $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily consisted of the $13.4 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $8.3 million, the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1.4 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million, plus a net unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $2.8 million. The net unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other of $3.8 million and offset in part by a decrease in prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other of $1.1 million.  The $3.8 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other was primarily due to the decrease of $1.4 million in accrued employee bonus compensation as a result of the payment of the 2019 related employee bonus compensation in 2020 and the decrease in accounts payable of $2.4 million as of June 30, 2020.  The decrease in prepaid expense, deferred cost, and other of $1.1 million was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in prepaid research and development costs associated with drug product shipped during the period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisted solely of purchases of intangible assets.  

Net cash provided by investing activities of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, consisted of purchases and maturities of short-term investments of $14.2 million and $17.1 million, respectively.  

26


Table of Contents

 

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $32.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisted primarily of the net proceeds of $28.7 million received from the Loan Agreement and $3.4 million in proceeds from common stock issued.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, consisted primarily of gross proceeds from the sale of the April 2020 convertible notes for $10.0 million and the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock issued under our at-the-market facility of $2.8 million.  

Future Funding Requirements

As disclosed in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, to date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We expect to generate revenue from product sales for BREXAFEMME beginning in the third quarter of 2021.  In addition, we expect to incur significant expenses in connection with our ongoing efforts to commercialize BREXAFEMME and further other development activities, particularly as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, product candidates. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing future operations.  

Based upon our existing operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the sale of a portion of our New Jersey NOLs, and the anticipated sales of BREXAFEMME will enable us to fund our operating requirements into 2023.  These funds will also be sufficient to enable us to support the commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and complete the development activities for the CANDLE study.  However, we are continually evaluating our operating plan and assessing the optimal cash utilization for our ibrexafungerp development strategy. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses necessary to complete the development of product candidates.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

the costs and potential revenue associated with the commercialization of BREXAFEMME;

 

the progress, and costs, of the clinical development of ibrexafungerp;

 

the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;

 

the ability of product candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;

 

our need to expand our research and development activities;

 

the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization and manufacturing capabilities;

 

our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

 

our need and ability to hire additional management and scientific and medical personnel;

 

our need to implement additional, as well as to enhance existing, internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting processes and systems and the associated compliance costs; and

 

the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of net proceeds from equity offerings, debt financings or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities as we did in April 2015, June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020, as well as through our common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through sales of assets, other third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies, significant judgments, and estimates are described within Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as Note 2 and Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2021, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On May 13, 2021, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Hercules, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Agent) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (SVB, and collectively with Hercules in such capacity, the Lenders) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million.

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, we issued to each of Hercules and SVB a warrant (collectively, the Warrants) to purchase shares of our common stock (the Shares).  The number of Shares that may be purchased equals: for the Warrant issued to Hercules, 0.02666 multiplied by the aggregate amount of term loan advances, divided by the exercise price of the Warrant; and for the Warrant issued to SVB, 0.01333 multiplied by the aggregate amount of term loan advances, divided by the exercise price of the Warrant.  Accordingly, the number of Shares for which each Warrant is exercisable will increase as the term loan is funded. The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $7.04, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Warrant.

The issuance of the Warrants by us to the Lenders was made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as they were issued to two accredited investors.
