(11) Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 14, 2020, the date at which the interim consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and there are no other items requiring disclosure except for the following:

 

RSUs

 

On July 2, 2020 the Company issued 653,845 restricted stock units under the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with vesting as to 50% on April 2, 2021 and 50% on April 2, 2022.

 

Series B Exercises

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, an aggregate of 2,223,863 shares of common stock have been issued upon the exercise of Series B Warrants resulting in proceeds of $223.

 

Warrant Exercise Amendment

 

In August 2020, in order to induce the holders to exercise their warrants for cash, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Series A Warrants from $5.3976 to $3.19 per share. In addition, each warrant holder has agreed not to purchase any shares of common stock, other than pursuant to exercises of the Series A Warrants, until such time that no Series A Warrants are held by such holder.

 

Upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, each holder will receive a Series C Warrant to purchase 3.4331 shares of the Company’s common stock, or an aggregate of 11,329,436 Series C Warrants. The Series C Warrants are substantially similar to the Series A Warrants, except that the Series C Warrants do not contain subsequent issuance price protection. The Series C Warrants are exercisable six months from the date of issuance and will expire on October 16, 2025.

 

In connection with the amendment to the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants no longer provide for resets to the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series B Warrants. As a result, the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Series B Warrants is 4,532,526 (of which 2,223,863 shares have already been issued upon exercises since June 30, 2020), which results from an increase of 2,284,800 shares pursuant to the terms of the amendment.

 

Subsequent to the amendment, the holders exercised 2,220,000 Series A warrants resulting in gross proceeds of $7,081,800.

 

Licensing Letter of Intent

 

On August 4, 2020, the Company executed a letter of intent to negotiate an agreement to license its SON-081 and SON-080 assets, both low-dose formulations of Interleukin 6, for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy to New Life Therapeutics Pte. Ltd. (“New Life”) of Singapore. The licensed territory would include the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, The Philippines, Cambodia, Brunei, Vietnam, Myanmar and Lao PDR.

 

The Company received a $500,000 non-refundable payment in connection with the execution of the letter of intent from New Life. The letter of intent outlines an agreement that could provide the Company total up to $40 million in milestone payments and a royalty of 30% on commercial sales. The letter of intent is non-binding and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to execute a definitive agreement with New Life on the terms set forth in the letter of intent or at all.
