Hybrid Debt Instrument

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Pharmsynthez providing for the issuance of a minimum of a $3 million 10% Senior Secured Collateralized Convertible Promissory Note (the “SPA Note”). The SPA also provides for the issuance of certain warrants up to the amount of the SPA Note. The convertible debt and its embedded debt-like features were recorded on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet within current liabilities as an aggregate hybrid debt instrument.

 

On November 13, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Pharmsynthez providing for the issuance of a minimum of a $3.5 million 10% Senior Secured Collateralized Convertible Promissory Note (the “APA Note”) and the transfer to the Company of certain intellectual property rights with respect to Virexxa in exchange for, among others, 111.5 million shares of our common stock. The APA also provides for the issuance of certain warrants covering up to half the amount of the APA Note. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued $3.5 million of convertible debt as well as the associated warrants, both in connection with the APA Note. The convertible debt and its embedded debt-like features were recorded on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet within current liabilities as an aggregate hybrid debt instrument. See also Note 12. Subsequent Events

 

On April 22, 2016, Pharmsynthez converted all convertible notes (in the principal amount of $6.5 million plus accrued interest of approximately $228,000), issued by the Company to Pharmsynthez in 2015 and 2016. The conversion rate was $4.95 per share. As such, the Company issued to Pharmsynthez 1,373,036 shares of common stock in connection with conversion of the convertible notes. The related embedded derivatives, which had been bifurcated from the host debt and accounted for separately, were settled by action of the conversion. The Company recognized a net loss on conversion, including a final mark-to-market of the compound derivative, of $4.4 million, which is recorded in other expense in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Interest expense related to the SPA Note and the APA Note of approximately $102,000 and $347,000 was recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
