BRICKELL BIOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Brickell Biotech, Inc. (the “Company” or “Brickell”) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative and differentiated prescription therapeutics for the treatment of debilitating skin diseases. The Company’s pipeline consists of potential novel therapeutics for hyperhidrosis and other prevalent dermatological conditions. The Company’s pivotal Phase 3-ready clinical-stage product candidate, sofpironium bromide, is a proprietary new molecular entity that belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. The Company intends to develop sofpironium bromide as a potential best-in-class, self-administered, once daily, topical therapy for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. The Company’s operations to date have been limited to business planning, raising capital, developing its pipeline assets (in particular sofpironium bromide), identifying product candidates, and other research and development.

On August 31, 2019, the Company, then known as Vical Incorporated (“Vical”), and Brickell Biotech, Inc., a then privately-held Delaware corporation that began activities in September 2009 (“Private Brickell”), completed a recapitalization in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated June 2, 2019, as further amended on August 20, 2019 and on August 30, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Vical, Victory Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vical (“Merger Sub”), and Private Brickell. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Private Brickell, with Private Brickell surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vical (the “Merger”). Additionally, on August 31, 2019, immediately after the completion of the Merger, the Company changed its name from “Vical Incorporated” to “Brickell Biotech, Inc.” and Private Brickell changed its name from “Brickell Biotech, Inc.” to “Brickell Subsidiary, Inc.”

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect the historical results of Private Brickell prior to the Merger and of the combined company following the Merger, and do not include the historical results of Vical prior to the completion of the Merger. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 18, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and has an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing efforts to develop product candidates, including conducting preclinical and clinical trials and providing general and administrative support for these operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $4.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of $6.6 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $89.1 million.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020, combined with $4.0 million in refundable prepaid research and development expenses, funds received under the Paycheck Protection Program (see Note 9. “Subsequent Events”), and periodic sales of the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Agreement (see Note 7. “Capital Stock”), are sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, in order to sell additional shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) will need to purchase shares of common stock from the Company, subject to the conditions under the Purchase Agreement. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, including under the Purchase Agreement, the Company expects to conserve resources, including but not limited to potentially reducing cash compensation arrangements to management, employee and/or contractor downsizing, and further reductions in operating expenditures. The Company expects to continue to incur additional substantial losses in the foreseeable future as a result of the Company’s research and development activities. Additional funding beyond the sale of additional shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement will be required in the future to proceed with the Company’s current and proposed research activities, including conducting the pivotal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trials of sofpironium bromide.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brickell Subsidiary, Inc., and are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020, for any other interim period, or for any other future period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates in one operating segment and, accordingly, no segment disclosures have been presented herein. The Company’s management performed an evaluation of its activities through the date of filing of these financial statements and concluded that there are no subsequent events requiring disclosure, other than as disclosed.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which requires it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may take in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business is subject to significant risks common to early-stage companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the ability to develop appropriate formulations, scale up and produce the compounds; dependence on collaborative parties; uncertainties associated with obtaining and enforcing patents and other intellectual property rights; clinical implementation and success; the lengthy and expensive regulatory approval process; compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements; competition from other products; uncertainty of broad adoption of its approved products, if any, by physicians and patients; significant competition; ability to manage third-party manufacturers, suppliers, contract research organizations, business partners and other alliance management; and obtaining additional financing to fund the Company’s efforts.

The product candidates developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current and future product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied approval or approval is delayed, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and its financial condition.

The Company expects to incur substantial operating losses for the next several years and will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete clinical studies and launch and commercialize any product candidates for which it receives regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to the Company.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent counterparty in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. A three-tier hierarchy is established to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs), and establishes a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

10




The hierarchy is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities)

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of each class of financial instrument disclosed herein:

Money Market Funds—The carrying amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and/or market rates of interest (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy).

U.S. Treasuries—The Company designated its investments in U.S. treasury securities as available-for-sale securities and accounted for them at their respective fair values. The securities were classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Securities that were readily available for use in current operations are classified as short-term available-for-sale marketable securities and are reported as a component of current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy).

Securities classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, including accrued interest, with temporary unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity until their disposition. The Company reviews available-for-sale securities at the end of each period to determine whether they remain available-for-sale based on its then current intent. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. An impairment charge would occur when a decline in the fair value of the investments below the cost basis is judged to be other-than-temporary.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less and not to separate lease components and non-lease components for long-term real estate leases. Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate based on industry peers in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s facility operating lease has one single component. The lease component results in a right-of-use asset being recorded on the

11



balance sheet, which is amortized as lease expense on a straight-line basis in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct and determines those that are performance obligations. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

To date, the Company’s drug candidates have not been approved for sale by the FDA or any other country’s regulatory authority, and the Company has not generated or recognized any revenue from the sale of products.

In March 2015, the Company entered into a license, development, and commercialization agreement (as amended, the “Kaken Agreement”) with Kaken Pharmaceutical, Co., Ltd. (“Kaken”). Under the Kaken Agreement, the Company granted to Kaken an exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the Company’s sofpironium bromide compound, a topical anticholinergic, in Japan and certain other Asian countries (the “Territory”). In exchange, Kaken paid the Company an upfront, non-refundable payment of $11.0 million (the “upfront fee”). In addition, the Company was entitled to receive aggregate payments of up to $10.0 million upon the achievement of specified development milestones, and $30.0 million upon the achievement of commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties based on a percentage of net sales of licensed products in the Territory. The Kaken Agreement further provides that Kaken will be responsible for funding all development and commercial costs for the program in the Territory. Kaken is also required to enter into negotiations with the Company, to supply the Company, at cost, with clinical supplies to perform Phase 3 clinical trials in the United States.

The Company evaluates collaboration arrangements to determine whether units of account within the collaboration arrangement exhibit the characteristics of a vendor and customer relationship. The Company determined that the licenses transferred to Kaken in exchange for the upfront fees were representative of this type of a relationship. If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, upfront fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other performance obligations, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition on a prospective basis.

Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), the Company evaluated the terms of the Kaken Agreement, and the transfer of intellectual property and manufacturing rights (the “license”) was identified as the only performance obligation as of the inception of the agreement. The Company concluded that the license for the intellectual property was distinct from its ongoing supply obligations. The Company further determined that the transaction price under the arrangement was comprised of the $11.0 million upfront payment, which was allocated to the license performance obligation. The future potential milestone amounts were not included in the transaction price, as they were all determined to be fully constrained. As part of its evaluation of the development and regulatory milestones constraint, the Company determined that the achievement of such milestones is contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals, each of which is uncertain at this time. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price each quarter and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. Future potential milestone amounts would be recognized as revenue from collaboration arrangements, if unconstrained. The remainder of the arrangement, which largely consisted of both parties incurring costs in their respective territories, provides for the reimbursement of the ongoing supply costs. These costs were representative of a collaboration arrangement outside of the scope of Topic 606 as they do not have the characteristics of a vendor and customer relationship. Reimbursable program costs are recognized proportionately with the delivery of drug substance and are accounted for as reductions to research and development expense and are excluded from the transaction price.


12



In May 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Kaken Agreement, pursuant to which the Company received an upfront non-refundable fee of $15.6 million (the “Kaken R&D Payment”), which was initially recorded as deferred revenue, to provide the Company with research and development funds for the sole purpose of conducting certain clinical trials and other such research and development activities required to support the submission of a new drug application for sofpironium bromide. These clinical trials have a benefit to Kaken and have the characteristics of a vendor and customer relationship. The Company has accounted for the Kaken R&D Payment under the provisions of Topic 606. This Kaken R&D Payment is being initially recognized using an input method over the average estimated performance period of 1.45 years in proportion to the cost incurred. Upon receipt of the Kaken R&D Payment, on May 31, 2018, a milestone payment originally due upon the first commercial sale in Japan was removed from the Kaken Agreement and all future royalties to the Company under the Kaken Agreement were reduced 150 basis points.

Consequently, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $1.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to the Kaken R&D Payment. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a deferred revenue balance related to the Kaken R&D Payment of $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which is recorded in deferred revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Milestones

At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments (variable consideration), the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the Company or the Company’s collaboration partner’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are generally not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts the Company’s estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license, collaboration or other revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment.

To date, Kaken has paid the Company $10.0 million in milestone payments under the Kaken Agreement.
Royalties

For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, the Company has not recognized any royalty revenue from any collaborative arrangement.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. When the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares.

Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, including stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory notes, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted earnings per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be issued from the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted stock units, or the exercise of warrants. Potentially dilutive common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in net loss periods because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends certain disclosure requirements over Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, however, the effect of adoption did not have a material impact on its disclosures.

NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

In March 2019, the Company initiated a convertible promissory notes offering pursuant to which the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Prom Notes”), bearing interest at 12.00% with a maturity of one year. Through August 31, 2019, the Company had raised an aggregate principal amount of $7.4 million in Prom Notes, including $1.7 million from certain of the Company’s management and board of directors. On August 31, 2019, immediately prior to the Merger, the Prom Notes and related accrued interest converted into 1,069,740 shares of Private Brickell common stock at a conversion price of $7.54 per share (the “Conversion”).

The Prom Notes also provided for the issuance of warrants at 50% coverage, to acquire 490,683 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a term of five years at an exercise price of $10.36. The Company evaluated the various financial instruments under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), and determined the warrants required fair value accounting. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as a warrant liability upon issuance. The fair value of the warrants on the dates of issuance of $1.5 million was determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as a debt discount upon issuance and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the Prom Notes based on the effective interest method.

At inception of the Prom Notes offering, the Company analyzed the conversion feature of the agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815 and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative, which was required to be bifurcated and recorded as a derivative liability.

The embedded derivative for the Prom Notes was carried on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The derivative liability was marked-to-market each measurement period and any change in fair value was recorded as a component

14



of the statements of operations. The fair value of the derivative liabilities on the date of issuance of $1.4 million was determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. The fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount upon issuance and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the Prom Notes based on the effective interest method.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $13 thousand of interest expense, including $10 thousand of accretion of discounts using an effective interest rate of 12.00%. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, no interest expense was recognized.

NOTE 5. NOTE PAYABLE

On February 18, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (the “Lender”) under which the Company borrowed $7.5 million upon the execution of the Loan Agreement on February 18, 2016. The interest rate applicable to each tranche was variable based upon the greater of either (i) 9.2% and (ii) the sum of (a) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal minus 3.5%, plus (b) 9.2%. Payments under the Loan Agreement were interest only until June 1, 2017, followed by equal monthly payments of principal and interest through the maturity date of September 1, 2019. The Company paid the Lender aggregate facility fees of $0.2 million in connection with the Loan Agreement.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to the Lender, which are exercisable for 9,005 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $33.31 (the “Hercules Capital Warrants”). The Hercules Capital Warrants will terminate, if not earlier exercised, on February 18, 2026. The fair value of the Hercules Capital Warrants was recorded at inception as a redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability upon issuance.
On September 3, 2019, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding loan balance of $2.6 million and an associated accrued interest and aggregate end-of-term payment of $0.6 million, and the Loan Agreement was terminated. At the effective time of the Merger, the warrant liability was reclassified to equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2020, there were no remaining unaccreted debt discounts and issuance costs.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

In August 2016, the Company entered into a five-year lease for office space in Boulder, Colorado that expires on October 31, 2021 (the “Boulder Lease”) subject to the Company’s option to renew the Boulder Lease for two additional terms of three years each. Pursuant to the Boulder Lease, the Company leased 3,038 square feet of space in a multi-suite building. Rent payments under the Boulder Lease included base rent of $4,430 per month during the first year of the Boulder Lease with an annual increase of 3.5%, and additional monthly fees to cover the Company’s share of certain facility expenses, including utilities, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, which were $2,160 per month during the first year of the Boulder Lease.

The Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on January 1, 2019, by calculating the present value of lease payments, discounted at 12.0%, the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate, over the 2.8 years expected remaining term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on industry peers. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the biotechnology industry with comparable characteristics, including clinical trials progress and therapeutic indications. Amortization of the operating lease right-of-use asset for the Boulder Lease amounted to $18 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and was included in operating expense. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining lease term was 1.6 years.

The terms of the Boulder Lease provide for rental payments on a monthly basis on a graduated scale. Lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $23 thousand and $28 thousand, respectively.

Amended and Restated License Agreement with Bodor
In February 2020, the Company, together with Brickell Subsidiary and Bodor Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Nicholas S. Bodor (collectively, “Bodor”) entered into an amended and restated license agreement (the “Amended and Restated License Agreement”). The Amended and Restated License Agreement supersedes the License Agreement, dated December 15, 2012, entered into between Brickell Subsidiary and Bodor, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to License Agreement, effective as of October 21, 2013, and Amendment No. 2 to License Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2015.

The Amended and Restated License Agreement retains with the Company a worldwide, exclusive license to develop, manufacture, market, sell and sublicense products containing the proprietary compound sofpironium bromide based upon the patents referenced in the Amended and Restated License Agreement for a defined field of use. In exchange for entering into the Amended and Restated License Agreement, settling the previously disclosed dispute, and resolving the associated litigation between the Company and Bodor, the Company made an upfront payment of $1.0 million in cash to Bodor following the execution of the Amended and Restated License Agreement and the settlement agreement by and among the Company, Brickell Subsidiary, Inc., and Bodor, dated February 17, 2020. The Company is required to further pay Bodor (i) a royalty on sales of product outside Kaken’s territory, including a low single-digit royalty on sales of certain product not covered by the patent estate licensed from Bodor; (ii) a specified percentage of all royalties the Company receives from Kaken for sales of product within its territory; (iii) a percentage of non-royalty sublicensing income the Company receives from Kaken or other sublicensees; and (iv) a specified cash amount following the occurrence of certain new milestone events.

The Company also agreed to issue to Bodor (i) $500,000 of shares of common stock (at a price per share equal to the closing price on the day preceding such issuance) at the time the Company enrolls its first patient in a Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial in the United States for subjects with hyperhidrosis and (ii) $1.0 million of shares of common stock (at a price per share equal to the closing price on the day preceding such issuance) at the time the Company submits a new drug application with the FDA for a product containing sofpironium bromide. If the Company enters into a change of control transaction prior to the occurrence of either of such triggering events, any amount not previously paid in shares of common stock will be accelerated and become payable in cash, in lieu of shares of common stock, upon the closing of the change of control transaction. The Amended and Restated License Agreement also imposes various diligence, sublicensing, patent cost reimbursement, and other customary obligations and restrictions on the Company. Both parties have the right to terminate the Amended and Restated License Agreement if the other party commits a material breach and fails to cure it within the applicable cure period. If the Company were to commit a material breach of the Amended and Restated License Agreement and fails to cure that breach within the applicable cure period, and if in response Bodor were to exercise its termination right, the Company would lose its rights under the Amended and Restated License Agreement and be forced to discontinue development and/or commercialization of sofpironium bromide.

Private Placement Offerings
On February 17, 2020, the Company and Lincoln Park entered into (i) a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”); (ii) a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”); and (iii) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park purchased, and the Company sold, (i) an aggregate of 950,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”); (ii) a warrant to initially purchase an aggregate of up to 606,420 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Series A Warrant”); and (iii) a warrant to initially purchase an aggregate of up to 1,556,420 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.16 per share (the “Series B Warrant” and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”). The aggregate gross purchase price for the Common Shares and the Warrants was $2.0 million.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $28.0 million in the aggregate of shares of common stock. Sales of common stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing on the date the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied (such date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, the “Commencement Date”).

Following the Commencement Date, under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by the Company, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock on such business day (each, a “Regular Purchase”), provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 125,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock is not below $3.00 on the purchase date; and (ii) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 150,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock is not below $5.00 on the purchase date. In each case, Lincoln Park’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1,000,000. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be based off of prevailing market prices of common stock immediately preceding the time of sale. In addition to Regular Purchases, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional accelerated purchases if the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

The Company agreed with Lincoln Park that it will not enter into any “variable rate” transactions with any third party, subject to certain exceptions, for a period defined in the Purchase Agreement. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty.

The Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no shares of preferred stock outstanding and had not designated the rights, preferences, or privileges of any class or series of preferred stock. Under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, at its discretion, in one or more classes or series and to fix the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications,

17



limitations, or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, and liquidation preferences, without further vote or action by the Company’s stockholders.

NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2009 Plan”), provides for the Company to sell or issue common stock or restricted common stock, or to grant incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock, to employees, members of the board of directors, and consultants of the Company. At March 31, 2020, the total shares authorized under the 2009 Plan were 1,634,655 shares. The board of directors or a designated committee of the board of directors is responsible for the administration of the 2009 Plan and determines the term, exercise price, and vesting terms of each option. Options granted under the 2009 Plan have an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock at the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2020, a total of 46,828 shares were available for grant under the 2009 Plan.

In connection with the Merger, the Company adopted Vical’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Vical Plan”). At March 31, 2020, the total shares authorized under the Vical Plan were 413,710 shares. The Vical Plan, as amended, provides for the Company to sell or issue common stock or restricted common stock, or to grant incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock, to employees, members of the board of directors, and consultants of the Company. The plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonstatutory stock options and the direct award or sale of shares, including restricted stock. The exercise price of stock options must equal at least the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of options granted under the plan is ten years. The Vical Plan also limits the number of options that may be granted to any plan participant in a single calendar year to 1,300,000 shares. At March 31, 2020, a total of 7,561 shares were available for grant under the Vical Plan.

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At Market Issuance Sales Agreement
On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as the Company’s sales agent (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agent shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the “Shares”). Any Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-236353). Sales of the Shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market at market prices or as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Agent. Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may also sell the Shares from time to time to the Agent as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of the Shares to the Agent as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate placement notice between the Company and the Agent.
2020 Omnibus Plan
On April 20, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”), which replaces, with respect to new award grants, the two predecessor plans (the 2009 Plan and the Vical Plan) that were in

18



effect as of March 31, 2020. The number of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan includes 625,000 new shares and 54,389 shares that remained available for future grants pursuant to the 2009 Plan and the Vical Plan, plus any shares that are forfeited pursuant to outstanding grants under the 2009 Plan or the Vical Plan that would have again become available for grants pursuant to the terms of those other plans. Following the approval of the Omnibus Plan on April 20, 2020, no additional grants will be made pursuant to the 2009 Plan or the Vical Plan, but awards outstanding under those plans as of that date will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
Paycheck Protection Program
On April 15, 2020, the Company executed an unsecured promissory note to IberiaBank (the “Loan”) pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. A PPP loan is for the purpose of helping businesses keep their workforce employed during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. The Company plans to use the Loan proceeds for covered payroll costs and certain other permitted costs in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act.
The Loan is in the principal amount of $437,123, bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum and matures on April 15, 2022. The Loan requires equal monthly payments of principal and interest commencing on November 15, 2020. The Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty. Under the terms of the PPP, the Company may apply for forgiveness of the amount due on the Loan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative and differentiated prescription therapeutics for the treatment of debilitating skin diseases. Our pipeline consists of potential novel therapeutics for hyperhidrosis and other prevalent dermatological conditions. Our executive management team and board of directors bring extensive experience in product development and global commercialization, having served in leadership roles at large global pharmaceutical companies and biotechs that have developed and/or launched successful products, including several that were first-in-class and/or achieved iconic status, such as Cialis®, Taltz®, Gemzar®, Prozac®, Cymbalta® and Juvederm®.

Our pivotal Phase 3-ready clinical-stage product candidate, sofpironium bromide, is a proprietary new molecular entity. It belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. Anticholinergics block the action of acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits signals within the nervous system that are responsible for a range of bodily functions, including activation of the sweat glands. Sofpironium bromide was retrometabolically designed. Retrometabolic drugs are designed to exert their action topically and are potentially rapidly metabolized once absorbed into the blood. This proposed mechanism of action may allow for highly effective doses to be used while limiting systemic side effects. We intend to develop sofpironium bromide as a potential best-in-class, self-administered, once daily, topical therapy for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

Hyperhidrosis is a life-altering condition of sweating beyond what is physiologically required to maintain normal thermal regulation. It is believed to be caused by an overactive cholinergic response of the sweat glands and affects an estimated 15.3 million, or 4.8%, of the U.S. population. According to a 2016 update on the prevalence and severity of hyperhidrosis in the United States by Doolittle et al., axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis, which is the targeted first potential indication for sofpironium bromide, is the most common occurrence of hyperhidrosis, affecting approximately 65% of patients in the United States or an estimated 10 million individuals.

20




We and our development partner in Asia, Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., (“Kaken”), have conducted 19 clinical trials of sofpironium bromide gel that encompass over 1,300 subjects in the United States and Japan. These trials evaluated the potential safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of sofpironium bromide gel in adult and pediatric primary axillary hyperhidrosis patients and healthy adult subjects. Under our License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Kaken, dated March 31, 2015 (as amended, the “Kaken Agreement”), in exchange for paying us an upfront, nonrefundable payment, we granted Kaken the exclusive right to develop, manufacture and commercialize sofpironium bromide in Japan and certain other Asian countries. In March 2019, Kaken completed a Phase 3 trial in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis in Japan, achieving statistical significance (p<0.05) on all primary and secondary endpoints. In January 2020, we announced that Kaken submitted a new drug application (“NDA”) for approval in Japan of manufacturing and marketing of sofpironium bromide for primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

Based on the positive results in the clinical trials for sofpironium bromide globally to date, we intend to initiate two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials in up to 350 subjects per trial with primary axillary hyperhidrosis in the United States, subject to obtaining substantial additional funding. Assuming the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials are favorable, we plan thereafter to submit an NDA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis by sofpironium bromide.

Recent Developments
Study Announcements
On May 13, 2020, we announced that, based on a preliminary review of the top-line results from the 12-month Phase 3 open-label long-term safety study, in 300 subjects >9 years old with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sofpironium bromide gel, 5% and 15% was safe and generally well tolerated, which was consistent with the earlier Phase 2 clinical trial results. No treatment-related serious adverse events were observed.
On March 4, 2020, we announced that positive results from Kaken’s Phase 3 pivotal study of topically applied sofpironium bromide gel, 5% in Japanese subjects with primary axillary hyperhidrosis were selected for oral presentation at the Late-Breaking Research Program of the American Academy of Dermatology (“AAD”) Annual Meeting. Due to concerns related to COVID-19, the AAD canceled the conference and it is now rescheduled to be a virtual forum on June 12, 2020.
On February 20, 2020, we announced that positive results from our Phase 2b study with sofpironium bromide in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis were published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (“JAAD”). In this Phase 2b dose-finding study, sofpironium bromide elicited clinically meaningful and statistically significant sustained reductions in sweating severity and was well tolerated. For additional information regarding the results of this study, see Part I, Item 1. “Business - Clinical Development of Sofpironium Bromide - Phase 2b U.S. Clinical Trial (BBI-4000-CL-203)” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
On January 19, 2020, we presented the results from pharmacokinetics and long-term safety extension trials with sofpironium bromide gel, 15% in pediatric patients (ages 9 to <17) with primary axillary hyperhidrosis at the Dermatology, Aesthetic & Surgical Conference. Sofpironium bromide was safe and well-tolerated over 24 weeks of treatment in this clinical trial.
At the Market Agreement
On April 14, 2020, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as our sales agent (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, we may sell from time to time through the Agent shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8.0 million (the “Shares”). Any Shares will be issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-236353). Sales of the Shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market at market prices or as otherwise agreed by us and the Agent. Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, we may also sell the Shares from time to time to the Agent as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of the Shares to the Agent as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate placement notice between us and the Agent.

Private Placement
In February 2020, we entered into (i) a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”); (ii) a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”); and (iii) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Lincoln Park”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park purchased, and we sold, (i) an aggregate of 950,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”), (ii) a warrant to initially purchase an aggregate of up to 606,420 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Series A Warrant”), and (iii) a warrant to initially purchase an aggregate of up to 1,556,420 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.16 per share (the “Series B Warrant”, and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”). The aggregate gross purchase price for the Common Shares and the Warrants was $2.0 million.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $28.0 million in the aggregate of shares of our common stock. Sales of common stock by us, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at our sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing on the date the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied (such date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, the “Commencement Date”).
Following the Commencement Date, under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by us, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock on such business day (each, a “Regular Purchase”), provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 125,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock is not below $3.00 on the purchase date; and (ii) the Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 150,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock is not below $5.00 on the purchase date. In each case, Lincoln Park’s maximum commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1,000,000. The purchase price per share for each such Regular Purchase will be based off of prevailing market prices of common stock immediately preceding the time of sale. In addition to Regular Purchases, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional accelerated purchases if the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In all instances, we may not sell shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
We agreed with Lincoln Park that we will not enter into any “variable rate” transactions with any third party, subject to certain exceptions, for a period defined in the Purchase Agreement. We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty.
Amended and Restated License Agreement with Bodor
In February 2020, we, together with Brickell Subsidiary and Bodor Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Nicholas S. Bodor (collectively, “Bodor”) entered into an amended and restated license agreement (the “Amended and Restated License Agreement”). The Amended and Restated License Agreement supersedes the License Agreement, dated December 15, 2012, entered into between Brickell Subsidiary and Bodor, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to License Agreement, effective as of October 21, 2013, and Amendment No. 2 to License Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2015.

The Amended and Restated License Agreement retains with us a worldwide, exclusive license to develop, manufacture, market, sell and sublicense products containing the proprietary compound sofpironium bromide based upon the patents referenced in the Amended and Restated License Agreement for a defined field of use. In exchange for entering into the Amended and Restated License Agreement, settling the previously disclosed dispute, and resolving the associated litigation between us and Bodor, we made an upfront payment of $1.0 million in cash to Bodor following the execution of the Amended and Restated License Agreement and the settlement agreement by and among the Company, Brickell Subsidiary, Inc., and Bodor, dated February 17, 2020. We are required to further pay Bodor (i) a royalty on sales of product outside Kaken’s territory, including a low single-digit royalty on sales of certain product not covered by the patent estate licensed from Bodor; (ii) a specified percentage of all royalties we receive from Kaken for sales of product within its territory; (iii) a percentage of non-royalty sublicensing income we receive from Kaken or other sublicensees; and (iv) a specified cash amount following the occurrence of certain new milestone events.

We also agreed to issue to Bodor (i) $500,000 of shares of common stock (at a price per share equal to the closing price on the day preceding such issuance) at the time we enroll our first patient in a Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial in the United States for subjects with hyperhidrosis and (ii) $1.0 million of shares of common stock (at a price per share equal to the closing price on the day preceding such issuance) at the time we submit a new drug application with the FDA for a product containing sofpironium

bromide. If we enter into a change of control transaction prior to the occurrence of either of such triggering events, any amount not previously paid in shares of common stock will be accelerated and become payable in cash, in lieu of shares of common stock, upon the closing of the change of control transaction. The Amended and Restated License Agreement also imposes various diligence, sublicensing, patent cost reimbursement, and other customary obligations and restrictions on us. Both parties have the right to terminate the Amended and Restated License Agreement if the other party commits a material breach and fails to cure it within the applicable cure period. If we were to commit a material breach of the Amended and Restated License Agreement and fail to cure that breach within the applicable cure period, and if in response Bodor were to exercise its termination right, we would lose our rights under the Amended and Restated License Agreement and be forced to discontinue development and/or commercialization of sofpironium bromide.

Corporate History
On August 31, 2019, the Delaware corporation formerly known as “Vical Incorporated” (“Vical”), completed a reverse merger transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated June 2, 2019, as further amended on August 20, 2019 and August 30, 2019, by and among Vical, Brickell Biotech, Inc., a then privately-held Delaware corporation that began activities in September 2009 (“Private Brickell”) and Victory Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vical (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Private Brickell, with Private Brickell surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vical (the “Merger”). Additionally, on August 31, 2019, immediately after the completion of the Merger, the Company changed its name from “Vical Incorporated” to “Brickell Biotech, Inc.”
Financial Overview

Our operations to date have been limited to business planning, raising capital, developing our pipeline assets (in particular sofpironium bromide), identifying product candidates, and other research and development. To date, we have financed operations primarily through funds received from license and collaboration agreements, cash and investments acquired in connection with the Merger, and funds received from the sale of convertible preferred stock, debt, convertible notes, common stock, and warrants. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any product sales. Since inception and through March 31, 2020, we have raised or generated an aggregate of $126.6 million to fund our operations, of which $39.1 million was through license and collaboration agreements, $37.0 million was from cash and investments acquired in the Merger, $33.6 million was from the sale of convertible preferred stock, $7.5 million was from the sale of debt, $7.4 million was from the sale of convertible notes, and $2.0 million was from the sale of common stock and warrants. As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million. In addition, we had approximately $4.0 million in refundable prepaid expenses related to the Phase 3 program of sofpironium bromide.

Since inception, we have incurred operating losses. We recorded a net loss of $4.1 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $89.1 million. We expect to continue incurring significant expenses and operating losses for at least the next several years as we:

initiate and execute our two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials for sofpironium bromide in the United States;
contract to manufacture product candidates;
advance research and development-related activities to develop and expand our product pipeline;
maintain, expand, and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
hire additional staff, including clinical, scientific, and management personnel; and
add operational and finance personnel to support product development efforts and to support operating as a public company.
We do not expect to generate significant revenue unless and until we successfully complete development of, obtain marketing approval for, and commercialize product candidates, either alone or in collaboration with third parties. We expect these activities may take several years and our success in these efforts is subject to significant uncertainty, especially in light of our need to raise substantial funding in order to commence our Phase 3 program. Accordingly, we expect we will need to raise substantial additional capital prior to the regulatory approval and commercialization of any of our product candidates. Until such time, if ever, that we generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our operations through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborations or licenses, or other available financing transactions. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds through these or other means when needed.

Key Components of Operations
Collaboration Revenue
Collaboration revenue generally consists of revenue recognized under our strategic collaboration agreements for the development and commercialization of our product candidates. Our strategic collaboration agreements generally outline overall development plans and include payments we receive at signing, payments for the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties. For these activities and payments, we utilize judgment to assess the nature of the performance obligations to determine whether the performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue. We have not recognized any royalty revenue to date. Other than the revenue we may generate in connection with these agreements, we do not expect to generate any revenue from any product candidates that we develop unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize our products or enter into other collaborative agreements with third parties.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses principally consist of payments to third parties known as Clinical Research Organizations (“CROs”). These CROs help plan, organize, and conduct clinical and nonclinical studies under our direction. Personnel costs, including wages, benefits, and share-based compensation, related to our research and development staff in support of product development activities are also included, as well as costs incurred for supplies, preclinical studies and toxicology tests, consultants, and facility and related overhead costs.
Below is a summary of our research and development expenses related to sofpironium bromide by categories of costs for the periods presented. The other expenses category includes travel, lab and office supplies, clinical trial management software, license fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Investment and other income (loss), net consists primarily of realized gains and losses associated with marketable securities and interest earned on cash and cash equivalent and marketable securities balances. Our interest income will vary each reporting

24



period depending on our average cash balances during the period and market interest rates. We expect interest income to fluctuate in the future with changes in average cash balances and market interest rates.

Interest Expense

Interest expense historically consisted primarily of interest and amortization related to the issuance of $1.3 million of convertible promissory note principal during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and principal borrowings of $7.5 million provided by the loan and security agreement entered into with Hercules Capital, Inc. on February 18, 2016 (the “Loan Agreement”). In August 2019, the convertible promissory note was converted and the Loan Agreement was repaid, and therefore, there was no interest expense thereafter related to these agreements.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

In connection with the Loan Agreement, we issued warrants to Hercules Capital, Inc., which are exercisable for 9,005 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $33.31. In connection with the convertible promissory notes, we issued warrants which are exercisable for 490,683 shares of common stock at a per share exercise price of $10.36.

We accounted for the warrants as liabilities at their estimated fair value. The warrants were subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, and any fair value adjustments were recognized as changes in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The liability was adjusted for changes in fair value through August 2019, and at that time the final warrant liability fair value was reclassified to equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and no longer remeasured to fair value each period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its critical estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued research and development expenses, convertible promissory notes, redeemable convertible preferred stock, warrants, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on assumptions that we believe are reasonable; however, actual results differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020.

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue decreased by $2.4 million, or 70%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue in both periods was driven by research and development activities related to the Kaken Agreement for which Kaken provided funding. The decrease in revenue recognized was attributable to the Phase 3 long-term safety study of sofpironium bromide gel and other ancillary studies that were ongoing in 2019 but were concluded or winding down by the first quarter of 2020. Conducting these studies is the basis for revenue recognition for a $15.6 million R&D payment that was received from Kaken in the second quarter of 2018.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased by $3.4 million, or 56%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, which was primarily due to a decrease in clinical study and other related regulatory and administrative costs of the Phase 3 long-term safety study of sofpironium bromide gel and other ancillary studies that were ongoing in 2019, but were concluded or winding down by the first quarter of 2020.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 20%, for three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to $0.3 million in higher fees for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, $0.2 million in higher stock and other compensation expense that was driven by increased headcount, and $0.1 million in reduced other miscellaneous expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred significant operating losses and have an accumulated deficit as a result of ongoing efforts to develop our product candidates, including conducting preclinical and clinical trials and providing general and administrative support for these operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had a net loss of $4.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $89.1 million and $85.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million. Since inception, we have financed operations primarily through payments received under strategic collaboration and licensing agreements, cash and investments acquired in the Merger, and funds received from the sale of convertible preferred stock, debt, convertible notes, common stock, and warrants.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020, combined with $4.0 million in refundable prepaid research and development expenses, funds received under the Paycheck Protection Program (see Note 9. “Subsequent Events” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), and periodic sales of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of this Quarterly Report. However, in order to sell additional shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park will need to purchase shares of common stock from us, subject to the conditions under the Purchase Agreement. If we are unable to raise additional capital, including under the Purchase Agreement, we expect to conserve resources, including but not limited to potentially reducing cash compensation arrangements to management, employee and/or contractor downsizing,

26



and further reductions in operating expenditures. We expect to continue to incur additional substantial losses in the foreseeable future as a result of the Company’s research and development activities. Additional funding beyond the sale of additional shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement will be required in the future to proceed with our current and proposed research activities, including conducting the pivotal U.S. Phase 3 clinical trials of sofpironium bromide.

Cash Flows

Since inception, we have primarily used our available cash to fund expenditures related to product discovery and development activities. The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the periods presented:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of $6.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased compared to $5.3 million during the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase related to changes in working capital of $1.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in net loss of $0.5 million and an increase of other non-cash expenses of $0.1 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities of $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased compared to cash used in investing activities of $2 thousand during the same period in the prior year. The $4.5 million increase was primarily the result of maturities of marketable securities in 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased compared to $0.5 million during the prior year. The increase was primarily related to higher net proceeds received in 2020 from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $2.0 million, compared to net proceeds received in 2019 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $1.3 million and the impact of repayment of principal associated the Loan Agreement in 2019 of $0.8 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had not been involved in any material off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of 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 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is

27



accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has determined that there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Although we do not believe the action is likely to be material, nor that the claims will be determined to be meritorious, Dr. Patricia S. Walker, our former President and Chief Scientific Officer, commenced litigation against us, one of our officers, our Board Chairperson and others, alleging wrongful termination for unspecified damages, claiming discrimination based on age, gender, and association with a person with a disability. We are contesting, and will continue to contest, these claims vigorously.
From time to time, we may become involved in other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any other legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business, financial condition, and operating results may be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report”), under the heading “Risk Factors.” Any one or more of such factors could directly or indirectly cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to vary materially from past or anticipated future results of operations and financial condition, and, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our 2019 Annual Report, except as set forth below. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could exacerbate or trigger other risks discussed in our 2019 Annual Report, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The following risk factor is added:
Major public health issues, and specifically the pandemic caused by the spread of COVID-19, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations and other aspects of our business.

The outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has evolved into a global pandemic. The coronavirus has spread to many regions of the world. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Should the coronavirus continue to spread, our business operations could be delayed or interrupted. For instance, our clinical trials may be affected by the pandemic. Site initiation, participant recruitment and enrollment, participant dosing, manufacturing and distribution of clinical trial materials, study monitoring and data analysis may be paused or delayed due to changes in hospital or university policies, federal, state or local regulations, prioritization of hospital resources toward pandemic efforts, or other reasons related to the pandemic. If the coronavirus continues to spread, some participants and clinical investigators may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols. For example, quarantines or other travel limitations (whether voluntary or required) may impede participant movement, affect sponsor access to study sites, or interrupt healthcare services, and we may be unable to conduct our clinical trials. Further, if the spread of the coronavirus pandemic continues and our operations are adversely impacted, we risk a delay, default and/or nonperformance under existing agreements which may increase our costs. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. Infections and deaths related to the pandemic may disrupt the United States’ and other countries’ healthcare and healthcare regulatory systems. Such disruptions could divert healthcare resources away from, or materially delay FDA or other regulatory review and/or approval with respect to, our clinical trials. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue, were they to occur. Any elongation or de-prioritization of our clinical trials or delay in regulatory review resulting from such disruptions could materially affect the development and study of our product candidates.

We currently rely on third parties, such as contract laboratories, contract research organizations, medical institutions and clinical investigators to conduct these studies and clinical trials. If these third-party parties themselves are adversely impacted by restrictions resulting from the coronavirus outbreak, we will likely experience delays and/or realize additional costs. As a result, our efforts to obtain regulatory approvals for, and to commercialize, our therapeutic candidates may be delayed or disrupted.

The spread of the coronavirus, which has caused a broad impact globally, including restrictions on travel and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, may have a material economic effect on our business. While the potential economic

29


impact brought by and the duration of the pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital either at all or on favorable terms. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the coronavirus could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock.

The ultimate impact of the current pandemic, or any other health epidemic, is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On February 17, 2020, the Company agreed to issue to Bodor (i) $500,000 of shares of common stock (at a price per share equal to the closing price on the day preceding such issuance) at the time the Company enrolls its first patient in a Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial in the United States for subjects with hyperhidrosis and (ii) $1.0 million of shares of common stock (at a price per share equal to the closing price on the day preceding such issuance) at the time the Company submits a new drug application with the FDA for a product containing sofpironium bromide. If the Company enters into a change of control transaction (as described in the Amended and Restated License Agreement) prior to the occurrence of either of the triggering events described in the preceding sentence, any amount not previously paid in shares of common stock will be accelerated and become payable in cash, in lieu of shares of common stock, upon the closing of the change of control transaction. The nature of the transaction and the consideration received by the Company are described in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - Amended and Restated License Agreement with Bodor” above in this Quarterly Report. Such issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Exhibit 3.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED
BYLAWS
OF
BRICKELL BIOTECH, INC.
ARTICLE I
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.    Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place within or outside the State of Delaware as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors or the chief executive officer, or if not so designated, at the registered office of the corporation.
Section 2.    Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such date, time and place as designated by the Board of Directors or the chief executive officer and stated in the notice of meeting. At the annual meeting the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote those directors to hold office based on the number of directors in the class whose terms are expiring and do so for a term of three (3) years until the annual meeting of stockholders coinciding with the end of such term.
At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business either (i) must be specified in a written notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the chief executive officer or secretary of the corporation, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at one of the principal executive office(s) of the corporation, not less than ninety (90) calendar days nor more than one-hundred and twenty (120) calendar days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than forty-five (45) calendar days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder’s notice to the secretary of the corporation shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new notice time period (or extend any notice time period).

1



Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2 by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.
The chairperson of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2, or is otherwise not compliant with these bylaws, and if the chairperson should so determine, the chairperson shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
Section 3.    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, may be called only by the chief executive officer at his or her discretion, or by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
Section 4.    Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, annual or special, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) calendar days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notices of meetings otherwise may be given to stockholders, any such notice may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and as that statute may be amended. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any stockholder who, either before or after the meeting, shall submit a waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
Section 5.    Voting List. The officer responsible for the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) calendar days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder limited to any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) calendar days before the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list was provided with the notice of the meeting; (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation; or (c) either at a place within the city or town where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list also shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Except as provided by

2


applicable law, the stock ledger of the corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger and the list of stockholders or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 6.    Quorum. The holders of one-third (1/3) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of stockholders for transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by subsequent withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.
Section 7.    Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and/or any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these bylaws, which time and place shall be announced at the meeting, by a majority of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, though less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder is present or represented by proxy, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as corporate secretary of such meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) calendar days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 8.    Action at Meetings. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the question shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of law, the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 1.    Actions Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 2.    Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment or legally binding decision in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence, fraud or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty or obligations to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 3.    Success on the Merits. To the extent that any person described in Section 1 or 2 of this Article V has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any

10


action, suit or proceeding referred to in said Sections, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified by the corporation against their expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 4.    Specific Authorization. Any indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of any person described in said Sections is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in said Sections. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by a majority vote of a quorum of the stockholders of the corporation.
Section 5.    Advance Payment. Expenses incurred in defending a civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is appropriate under these bylaws may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the manner provided for in Section 4 of this Article V upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of any person described in said Section to repay such amount unless it ultimately is determined that such person is entitled to indemnification by the corporation as authorized in this Article V.
Section 6.    Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7.    Insurance. The Board of Directors may authorize, by a vote of the majority of the full board, the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance of any type and amount on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article V or applicable law.
Section 8.    Severability. If any word, clause or provision of this Article V or any award made hereunder shall for any reason be determined to be invalid, the provisions hereof shall not be affected otherwise thereby but shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 9.    Intent of Article. The intent of this Article V is to provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by section 145 of the General Corporation Law of

11


Delaware or any other applicable law. To the extent that such Section or any successor section, or other applicable law, may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this Article V shall be amended automatically and construed so as to permit indemnification to the fullest extent from time to time permitted by the law.

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 3.    Transfer of Stock. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, and proper evidence of compliance with other conditions to rightful transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books.

more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to any other action to which such record date relates. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held.
