JAGUAR ANIMAL HEALTH, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Business

 

Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) was incorporated on June 6, 2013 (inception) in Delaware. The Company, a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo” or the “Parent”) until May 13, 2015, was formed to develop and commercialize gastrointestinal products for companion and production animals. The Company is an animal health company whose activities since inception have consisted principally of raising capital, recruiting management, and performing research and development. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to complete the development and commercialization of its products before another company develops similar products. The Company operates in one segment and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

 

The following series of transactions between Jaguar and Napo were executed in order to separate the Company’s business from Napo:

 

On June 11, 2013, Jaguar issued 2,666,666 shares of common stock to Napo in exchange for cash and services. On July 1, 2013, Jaguar entered into an employee leasing and overhead agreement (the “Service Agreement”) with Napo, under which Napo agreed to provide Jaguar with the services of certain Napo employees for research and development and the general administrative functions of Jaguar. On January 27, 2014, Jaguar executed an intellectual property license agreement with Napo pursuant to which Napo transferred fixed assets and development materials, and licensed intellectual property and technology to Jaguar. On February 28, 2014, the Service Agreement terminated and the associated employees became employees of Jaguar effective March 1, 2014.  See Notes 4 and 5 for the Service Agreement and license agreement details, respectively.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

In October 2014, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved a 1-for-1.5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares. The Company effected the Reverse Split on October 27, 2014. Under the terms of the Reverse Split, each share of common stock, issued and outstanding as of such effective date, was automatically reclassified and changed into two-thirds of one share of common stock, without any action by the stockholder. Fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

In May 2015, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock.  In connection with its IPO, the Company issued 2,860,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $7.00 per share.  The Company’s shares of common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on May 13, 2015.  As a result of the IPO, the Company received approximately $15.9 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.2 million and offering expenses of $2.9 million.  At the closing of the IPO, 3,015,902 shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 2,010,596 shares of common stock.  Following the IPO, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.  In connection with the IPO, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the authorized capital stock to 50,000,000 shares designated as common stock and 10,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock, all with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

Liquidity

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $21,571,507 as of September 30, 2015. The Company expects to incur substantial losses in future periods. Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis.

 

The Company plans to finance its operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing as well as revenue from future product sales. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all, or that the Company will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund operating needs or ultimately achieve profitability. If the Company is unable to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its products, the Company will need to curtail planned activities and reduce costs. Doing so will likely have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the prospectus that forms part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-198383), which prospectus was filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 on May 14, 2015.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP.

 

The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date and has disclosed all events or transactions that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would require recognition or disclosure in the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its financial statements and the accompanying notes. The accounting policies that reflect the Company’s more significant estimates and judgments and that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are valuation of stock options; valuation of warrant liabilities; impairment of long lived assets; useful lives for depreciation; valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory; deferred taxes and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; and evaluation and measurement of contingencies. Those estimates could change, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales to distributors are made under agreements that may provide distributor price adjustments and rights of return under certain circumstances. Until the Company develops sufficient sales history and pipeline visibility, revenue and costs of distributor sales will be deferred until products are sold by the distributor to the distributor’s customers. Revenue recognition depends on notification either directly from the distributor that product has been sold to the distributor’s customer, when the Company has access to the data. The Company will maintain system controls to verify that the reported distributor and third party data is accurate. Deferred revenue on shipments to distributors will reflect the estimated effects of distributor price adjustments, if any, and the estimated amount of gross margin expected to be realized when the distributor sells through product purchased from the Company. Accounts receivable from distributors will be recognized and included in deferred revenue when shipped to the distributor. Inventory will be relieved and revenue recognized, typically upon shipment by the distributor to their customer. The Company had no revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $203,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

·              Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

·              Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

 

·              Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

There were no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015.

 

4. Employee Leasing and Overhead Allocation Agreement

 

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company entered into an employee leasing and overhead allocation agreement (the “Service Agreement”) with its parent, Napo. The term of the Service Agreement was from July 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014. In connection with the Service Agreement, Napo provided the Company with the services of Napo employees. The Service Agreement also stipulated that Jaguar would pay for a portion of Napo’s overhead costs. The Company agreed to pay Napo $71,811 per month (consisting of $38,938 for executive compensation, $26,873 for employee services, and $6,000 for overhead costs) for the months from July 2013 through February 2014 as follows: (1) for the period from July 2013 through November 2013, in 2,666,666 shares of common stock and (2) for the period from December 2013 through February 2014, in cash. Commencing March 1, 2014, the relevant Napo employees became employees of the Company and all overhead costs related to the animal health business will be paid by the Company.

 

General and administrative expense recognized under the Service Agreement was $114,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Research and development expense recognized under the Service Agreement $28,764 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

5. License Agreement

 

On July 11, 2013, Jaguar entered into an option to license Napo’s intellectual property and technology (the “Option Agreement”). Under the Option Agreement, upon the payment of $100,000 in July 2013, the Company obtained an option for a period of two years to execute an exclusive worldwide license to Napo’s intellectual property and technology to use for the Company’s animal health business. The option price was creditable against future license fees to be paid to Napo under the License Agreement (as defined below).

In January 2014, the Company exercised its option and entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Napo for an exclusive worldwide license to Napo’s intellectual property and technology to permit the Company to develop, formulate, manufacture, market, use, offer for sale, sell, import, export, commercialize and distribute products for veterinary treatment uses and indications for all species of animals. The Company was originally obligated to pay a one-time non-refundable license fee of $2,000,000, less the option fee of $100,000. At the Company’s option, the license fee could have been paid in common stock. Milestone payments aggregating $3,150,000 may also be due to Napo based on regulatory approvals of various veterinary products. In addition to the milestone payments, the Company will owe Napo an 8% royalty on annual net sales of products derived from the Croton lechleri tree, up to $30,000,000 and then, a royalty of 10% on annual net sales of $30,000,000 or more. Additionally, if any other products are developed, the Company will owe Napo a 2% royalty on annual net sales of pharmaceutical prescription products that are not derived from Croton lechleri and a 1% royalty on annual net sales of nonprescription products that are not derived from Croton lechleri . The royalty term expires at the longer of 10 years from the first sale of each individual product or when there is no longer a valid patent claim covering any of the products and a competitive product has entered the market. However, because an IPO of at least $10,000,000 was consummated prior to December 31, 2015, the royalty was reduced to 2% of annual net sales of its prescription products derived from Croton lechleri and 1% of net sales of its nonprescription products derived from Croton lechleri and no milestone payment will be due and no royalties will be owed on any additional products developed.  As of September 30, 2015, $2,214 is the amount of royalties due Napo.

 

In addition to receiving a License Agreement to Napo’s intellectual property and technology, the License also transferred to the Company certain materials and equipment. Materials transferred from Napo have been included in research and development expense on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2014. Equipment of $817,374 related to the License is included on the balance sheet at September 30, 2015 at the cost paid by Napo, which approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2015, the equipment has not been placed into service. The Company will begin depreciating the equipment on a straight-line basis over its estimated life of 10 years at the time it is placed into service.

 

The Company has agreed under the License Agreement to defend, indemnify and hold Napo, its affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, consultants and contractors of Napo harmless from and against any losses, costs, damages, liabilities, fees and expenses arising out of any third-party claim related to the Company’s gross negligence, breach of covenants or the manufacture, sale or use of the product or products.

 

In January 2015, the License Agreement was amended to decrease the one-time non-refundable license fee payable from $2,000,000 to $1,750,000 in exchange for acceleration of the payment of the fee. In 2015, payments totalling $1,175,000 will be made, with the balance paid during the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, the terms of the License Agreement were amended to require the mutual agreement of the parties for payment of the license fee to be remitted in the form of the Company’s common stock. The Company may also, at its sole discretion, elect to remit any milestone payments and/or royalties in the form of the Company’s common stock.  Given that Napo is a significant shareholder of the Company, the abatement of the license fee amount has been recorded as a capital contribution in the accompanying condensed financial statements.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Since March 1, 2014, the date the Service Agreement terminated (Note 4), the Company paid Napo $33,897 for rent related to the office space utilized by the Company for the months of March, April and May of 2014.

 

Effective June 26, 2014 the Company entered into a technology transfer and commercial manufacturing agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with a contract manufacturer in Italy (the “Manufacturer”), whereby the Company and the Manufacturer will cooperate to develop and refine the manufacturing process for the Company’s prescription and non-prescription products. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Company was to make prepayments to the Manufacturer as follows: (1) a start-up fee of €500,000, €250,000 of which was to be paid at the earlier to occur of September 15, 2014 or the closing date of an initial public offering and €250,000 of which was to be paid at the time of installation and qualification of the Company’s equipment at their facility, (2) related to the technology transfer, €620,000, €310,000 of which was paid subsequent to the signature of the Transfer Agreement and €310,000 of which was to be paid after the delivery of a final study report, (3) for design of a portion of the Manufacturer’s facility, €100,000 was to be paid within five days of the signature of the Transfer Agreement, and (4) a €300,000 bonus fee payable in two equal installments, the first of which is due by the end of March 2015, with the remainder paid by the end of December 2015. The first €150,000 of the bonus fee payable was paid in May 2015. Additionally, the Transfer Agreement stipulated that the Company was to pay the Manufacturer an aggregate of €500,000 upon the delivery of agreed-upon levels of satisfactory product. Further, the Company issued the Manufacturer warrants to purchase 16,666 shares of common stock with an exercise price of 90% of the initial public offering price, amended to $6.30 in March 2015. (Note 8)

 

Effective February 12, 2015, March 25, 2015 and July 15, 2015 the Company entered into amendments delaying payments to the Manufacturer as follows: i) the €500,000 start-up fee was due by the end of April 2015 and has been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, (ii) related to the technology transfer, of the remaining €310,000, €215,000 was due April 2015 and €95,000 was due June 30, 2015, both of which were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, (iii) related to the design of a portion of the Manufacturer’s facility, the payment has increased to €170,000, €150,000 of which was due at the end of April 2015 and €20,000 was due on June 30, 2015, both of which have been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (iv) the fees linked to the deliverables are now due €250,000 on December 31, 2015 and €250,000 on March 31, 2016, 2015, (v) the bonus fee payable of €300,000, €150,000 was due at the end of April 2015 and has been paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and €150,000 due at December 31, 2015. In May 2015, the Company paid the start-up fee of €500,000 and the technology transfer fee of €215,000.  In accordance with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Manufacturer will supply 400Kg of SB300 at no cost in anticipation of the future deduction by December 2015.

 

In September 2015, the Company entered into a four year manufacture and supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with a contract manufacturer in India for the manufacture and supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”).  For each calendar year, the Company and the manufacturer will agree to a minimum annual quantity that the Company will purchase.  In connection with the Supply Agreement, the Company paid $49,090 in September 2015 as an advance payment for the API, which has been included in prepaid expenses at September 30, 2015.

 

In accordance with a sublease assignment, effective in June 19, 2015, the Company leased 6,008 square fee of office space.  The term of the sublease began upon the delivery of the premises, which was July 1, 2015, and will expire on August 31, 2018.  The base rent is $29,539 with $500 annual increases.  In addition, the Company will be responsible for certain costs and charges specified in the sublease, including operating expenses and taxes.  Future minimum lease payments will total $1,054,909.

 

8. Debt and Warrants

 

From July through September 2013, the Company issued four convertible promissory notes (collectively the “Notes”) for gross aggregate proceeds of $525,000 to various third-party lenders. The Notes bore interest at 8% per annum. The Notes automatically matured and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest, was due and payable in cash at the earlier of July 8, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) or ten business days after the date of consummation of the initial closing of a first equity round of financing.

 

The Company consummated a first equity round of financing prior to the Maturity Date with a pre-money valuation of greater than $3,000,000, and, accordingly, principal and accrued interest was converted into shares of common stock at 75% of the purchase price paid by such equity investors.

 

In connection with the Notes, the Company issued to the noteholders warrants, which became exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 207,664 shares of common stock as of the issuance of the first equity round of financing (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are fully exercisable from the initial date of the first equity round of financing and have a five-year term subsequent to that date.

 

In February 2014, the Company closed its first equity round of financing and sold 2,224,991 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock at a price of $2.2472 per share. The pre-money valuation was in excess of $3,000,000 setting the exercise price of the Warrants at 75% of the purchase price paid by the investors, or $2.5281 (as adjusted for the 1-for-1.5 reverse stock split approved in October 2014) per share. As such, the fair value of the Warrants, $6,895, was recorded as equity in February 2014. The Warrants were valued at $6,895 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $2.5281, term of five years, volatility of 64%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.82%. Based on the fair value of the Warrants, the Company used the residual value of the total proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and Warrants to record the Notes on the balance sheet as of issuance of the Notes. Thus, the amount recorded, in the aggregate, for the Notes on issuance was $518,105, net. The debt discount of $6,895 is recorded as interest expense over the five-year term of the Warrants.

In February 2014, in connection with the first equity round of financing and issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the noteholders exercised their option to convert their Notes into 207,664 shares of common stock and accrued interest was paid in cash to the noteholders. The accreted interest expense related to the discount on the Notes was $1,443 for the period from January 1, 2014 to the conversion date of the Notes. Upon conversion, the entire remaining debt discount of $4,071 was recorded as interest expense.

 

On June 2, 2014, pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to two accredited investors, including a convertible promissory note for $200,000 to a board member to which Series A preferred stock was sold. These notes accrued interest at 3% per annum and automatically were to mature on June 1, 2015. Accrued interest was to be paid in cash upon maturity. Upon the closing of the IPO, the outstanding principal amount automatically converted into 53,571 shares common stock at $5.60, as amended in March 2015. Upon issuance, the Company analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) existed because the effective conversion price on issuance of the notes was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method and recorded a BCF of $75,000 as a discount to the notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company amortized $31,250 and $6,250, respectively, of the discount, which has also been recorded as interest expense.

 

On July 16, 2014, pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000 to an accredited investor. This note accrued interest at 3% per annum and automatically was to mature on June 1, 2015. Accrued interest was to be paid in cash upon maturity. Upon the closing of the IPO, the outstanding principal amount automatically converted into 26,785 shares of common stock at $5.60, as amended in March 2015. Upon issuance, the Company analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a BCF existed because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method and recorded a BCF of $37,500 as a discount to the notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized $17,857 of the discount, which has also been recorded as interest expense.

 

In connection with the Transfer Agreement (Note 7) the Company issued fully vested and immediately exercisable warrants to the Manufacturer to purchase 16,666 shares of common stock at 90% of the IPO price, amended to $6.30 in March 2015, for a period of five years. The fair value of the warrants, $37,840, was recorded as research and development expense and additional paid-in capital in June 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: stock price of $4.83, exercise price of $4.35, term of five years, volatility of 49%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.64%.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a standby line of credit with an accredited investor for up to $1,000,000 pursuant to a Line of Credit and Loan Agreement dated August 26, 2014. In connection with the entry into the standby line of credit, the Company issued the lender a fully vested warrant to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015, which expires in August 2016.  The fair value of the warrants, $114,300, was recorded as interest expense and additional paid-in capital in August 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: stock price of $8.00, exercise price of $6.40, term of two years, volatility of 52%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 0.52%. The line of credit expired on March 31, 2015 and there have been no drawdowns under the facility.

 

On October 30, 2014, the Company entered into a standby bridge financing agreement with two lenders, which was amended and restated on December 3, 2014, which provided a loan commitment in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Bridge”). Proceeds to the Company were net of a $100,000 debt discount under the terms of the Bridge. This debt discount was recorded as interest expense using the effective interest method, over the six month term of the Bridge. The Bridge became payable upon the IPO.  The Bridge was paid in May 2015, including interest thereon in an amount of $321,600. In connection with the Bridge, the lenders were granted warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $1,000,000 by the exercise price of 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015.  The fair value of the warrants, $505,348, was originally recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 3, 2014.  The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:  stock price of $5.01, exercise price of $5.23, term of five years, volatility of 63%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.61%. Based on the circumstances, the value derived using the Black-Scholes model approximated that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was recorded as interest expense over the six month term of the Bridge. Of the aggregate debt discount of $605,348 (warrants and original $100,000 discount), $521,291 was recorded as interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Additional financing costs of $104,000 were incurred related to the Bridge and deferred on closing. These are being recognized as interest expense over the six-month term of the Bridge using the effective interest method. During the nine months ended September, 2015, the remaining $86,667 of these deferred financing charges was recorded as interest expense.

On December 23, 2014, pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 to three accredited investors, including a convertible promissory note for $250,000 to the same board member to which the June 2, 2014 $200,000 convertible promissory note was issued and to which Series A preferred stock was sold. These notes accrued interest at 12% per annum and became payable within thirty days following the IPO. Upon consummation of the Company’s IPO, the noteholders converted the notes into 116,070 shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. In connection with these notes, the Company also issued the lenders a fully vested warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. These warrants entitle the noteholders to purchase 58,035 shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants, $147,943, was recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 23, 2014. The Company amortized the remaining $141,890 of this discount during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: stock price of $4.59, exercise price of $4.15, term of three years, volatility of 49%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.10%. Based on the circumstances, the value derived using the Black-Scholes model approximated that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was be recorded as interest expense over the one hundred ninety days from issuance of the notes through their first maturity date of July 31, 2015, beginning in January 2015. The Company analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a BCF existed because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method. A BCF of $502,057 has been recorded as a discount to the notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized the remaining $484,326 of the BCF which has also been recorded as interest expense.

 

In February 2015, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to two accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000. These notes were issued pursuant to the convertible note purchase agreement dated December 23, 2014.  Principal and interest of $103,912 was paid in May 2015 for $100,000 of these notes.

 

In March 2015, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC (“Dechra”). In connection therewith, Dechra paid the Company $1,000,000.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had recorded this amount as a loan advance on the balance sheet.  In April 2015, Dechra purchased $1,000,000 of convertible promissory notes from the Company, the terms of which provided that such notes were to be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of an IPO at a conversion price of $5.60 per share. In connection with the purchase of the notes, the Company issued Dechra a warrant to purchase 89,285 shares at $5.60 per share, which expires December 31, 2017.  The notes accrued simple interest of 12% per annum and, upon consummation of the Company’s IPO in May 2015, converted into 178,571 shares of the Company’s common stock.   The Company analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a BCF existed because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method. A BCF of for the full face value was recorded as a discount to the notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized the entire BCF of $1,000,000 which has also been recorded as interest expense.

 

In August 2015, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender for up to $8,000,000, which provided for an initial loan commitment of $6,000,000.  The loan agreement requires the Company to maintain $4,500,000 of the proceeds in cash, which amount may be reduced or eliminated on the achievement of certain milestones.  An additional $2,000,000 is available contingent on the achievement of certain further milestones.  The agreement has a term of three years, with interest only payments through February 29, 2016.  Thereafter, principal and interest payments will be made with an interest rate of 9.9%.  Additionally, there will be a balloon interest payment of $560,000 on August 1, 2018.  This amount is being recognized over the term of the loan agreement and the effective interest rate, considering the balloon payment, is 15.0%.  Proceeds to the Company were net of a $134,433 debt discount under the terms of the loan agreement.  This debt discount is being recorded as interest expense, using the interest method, over the term of the loan agreement.  Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to prepay principal and accrued interest upon five days prior notice to the lender.  In the event of prepayment, the Company is obligated to pay a prepayment charge.  If such prepayment is made during any of the first twelve months of the loan agreement, the prepayment charge will be (a) during such time as the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 2% of the minimum cash balance amount plus 3% of the difference between the amount being prepaid and the minimum cash balance, and (b)  after such time as the Company is no longer required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 3% of the amount being prepaid.  If such prepayment is made during any time after the first twelve months of the loan agreement, 1% of the amount being prepaid.

Effective November 1, 2013, the Company’s board of directors and sole stockholder adopted the Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan allows the Company’s board of directors to grant stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had reserved 300,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In July 2014, the Company adopted the Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to eligible employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs to eligible employees, directors and consultants. The Company has reserved 333,333 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2014 Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 147,500 options were granted, 90,000 of which were granted to members of the Company’s board of directors, 25,000 to an outside consultant and 32,500 to employees.  Following the effective date of the IPO, any stock awards granted by the Company will be under the 2014 Plan.  The Company has 185,833 shares available for grant at September 30, 2015.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of the awards that are expected to vest. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $429,468 as research and development expense, $44,462 as selling and marketing expense and $354,119 as general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

11. Related Party Transactions

 

The Company was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo until its IPO. The Company had total outstanding receivables from Napo in the amount of $4,209 as of September 30, 2015.  The Company had outstanding liabilities to Napo in the amount of $16,581 as of December 31, 2014. Additionally, Lisa A. Conte, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is also the interim Chief Executive Officer of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

12. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

 

The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Overview

 

We are an animal health company focused on developing and commercializing first-in-class gastrointestinal products for companion and production animals. Canalevia is our lead prescription drug product candidate for the treatment of various forms of watery diarrhea in dogs. We achieved statistically significant results in a canine proof-of-concept study completed in February 2015, supporting the conclusion that Canalevia treatment is superior to placebo, with 91% of the Canalevia-treated dogs achieving a formed stool during the study versus 50% of the placebo-treated dogs. We also initiated filing of a rolling new animal drug application, or NADA, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for Canalevia for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea, or CID, in dogs, at the end of 2014. Canalevia is a canine-specific formulation of crofelemer, an active pharmaceutical ingredient isolated and purified from the Croton lechleri tree. A human-specific formulation of crofelemer, Fulyzaq, was approved by the FDA in 2012 for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy. Members of our management team developed crofelemer, including while at Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Napo. Neonorm is our lead non-prescription product to improve gut health and normalize stool formation in animals suffering from watery diarrhea, or scours. We launched Neonorm in the United States at the end of 2014 for preweaned dairy calves under the brand name Neonorm Calf and expect to launch additional formulations of Neonorm for other animal species in 2015. We have already shipped approximately $508,000 of Neonorm Calf to distributors. Neonorm is a botanical extract also derived from the Croton lechleri tree. Canalevia and Neonorm are distinct products that are formulated to address specific species and market channels. We have filed nine investigational new animal drug applications, or INADs, with the FDA and intend to develop species-specific formulations of Neonorm in six additional target species.

 

Since inception, we have been primarily focused on designing protocols for studies of Canalevia to treat multiple preselected and distinct types of watery diarrhea in dogs and for Neonorm to improve gut health and normalize stool formation in preweaned dairy calves suffering from scours. We have also conducted a clinical study of Neonorm in preweaned dairy calves with scours. A portion of our activities has also been focused on other efforts associated with being a newly formed company, including securing necessary intellectual property, recruiting management and key employees and initial financing activities.

 

Financial Operations Overview

 

We were incorporated in June 2013 in Delaware. Napo formed our company to develop and commercialize animal health products. Prior to our incorporation, the only activities of Napo related to animal health were limited to the retention of consultants to evaluate potential strategic alternatives. We were previously a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo. However, following the closing of our May 2015 initial public offering, we are no longer majority-owned by Napo.

 

We have not generated any material revenue to date and expect to continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses. Our net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $9.3 million and $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had a total stockholders’ equity of $8.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $10.4 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our product development activities, seek necessary approvals for our product candidates, conduct species-specific formulation studies for our non-prescription products, establish API manufacturing capabilities and begin commercialization activities.  As a result, we expect to experience increased expenditures for 2015.

 

Recent Developments

 

In May 2015, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock.  In connection with our initial public offering, we issued 2,860,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $7.00 per share.  Our shares of common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on May 13, 2015.  As a result of the initial public offering, we received approximately $15.9 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.2 million and estimated offering expenses of $2.9 million.

 

In September 2015, the Company entered into a four year manufacture and supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with a contract manufacturer in India for the manufacture and supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”).  For each calendar year, the Company and the manufacturer will agree to a minimum annual quantity that the Company will purchase.  In connection with the Supply Agreement, the Company paid $49,090 in September 2015 as an advance payment for the API, which has been included in prepaid expenses at September 30, 2015.

 

In October 2015, the Company entered into a formulation development and manufacturing contract with a manufacturer, whereby the manufacturer will provide enteric-coated tablets to the Company for use in animals.  The total amount committed to be paid by the Company during 2015 and 2016 under this contract is estimated to be approximately $850,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of the Prospectus. Our critical accounting policies are described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Prospectus.

We expect to incur additional general and administrative expense as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, general and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries and related benefits, accounting, legal, and travel. Legal fees were related to general corporate activities. Other expenses included costs related to marketing studies and business development consultants.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 general and administrative expense primarily consists of salaries and related benefits for employees, third-party consulting fees, legal fees, travel expenses, including hotel and airfare, and two months of services provided by Napo personnel pursuant to the Service Agreement, as well as Napo overhead allocation expense and legal costs related to intellectual property development and general corporate activities.  In March 2014, upon the conclusion of the Service Agreement with Napo, four Napo employees joined us as our employees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have not generated any material revenue to date and expect to continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses. Our net loss attributable to common stockholders was $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had a total stockholders’ equity of $8.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $10.4 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next two years due to expenses relating to:

 

·              trials of our products and product candidates;

 

·              toxicology studies for our product candidates;

 

·              establishing contract manufacturing capabilities; and

 

·              commercialization of one or more of our prescription drug product candidates, if approved, and commercialization of our non-prescription products.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.4 million.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we issued $250 thousand, $1.0 million and $6.0 million aggregate principal amounts of promissory notes in February 2015, March 2015, and August 2015 respectively. Additionally, we received net cash of approximately $15.9 million as a result of our initial public offering, net of offering cost and underwriters discounts.

 

Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, regarding our assessment of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We believe the net proceeds from our initial public offering, our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the achievement of certain milestones which will allow us to access an additional $1.5 million from the restricted cash portion of our senior secured loan facility with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (announced on August 19, 2015) will be sufficient to fund our operating plan through April 2016 and anticipated commercial launch of Canalevia for CID in dogs, as well as for the pivotal data and regulatory filing with the FDA to expand the indication to general watery diarrhea in dogs. However, our operating plan may change due to many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations. Such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations or other restrictions that may affect our business. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. We may also not be successful in entering into partnerships that include payment of upfront licensing fees for our products and product candidates for markets outside the United States, where appropriate. If we do not generate upfront fees from any anticipated arrangements, it would have a negative effect on our operating plan.

 

We expect that we will increase our expenditures in the future in order to continue our efforts to develop animal health products, continue to commercially launch Neonorm and continue development of Canalevia in the near term. We have agreed to pay Indena S.p.A. aggregate fees of approximately €2.1 million under memorandums of understanding relating to the establishment of our commercial manufacturing arrangement. The exact amounts and timing of any expenditures may vary significantly from our current intentions.

Standby Lines of Credit, Convertible Notes and and Warrant Issuances

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a standby line of credit with an accredited investor for up to $1,000,000 pursuant to a Line of Credit and Loan Agreement dated August 26, 2014. In connection with the entry into the standby line of credit, the Company issued the lender a fully vested warrant to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015, which expires in August 2016.  The fair value of the warrants, $114,300, was recorded as interest expense and additional paid-in capital in August 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: stock price of $8.00, exercise price of $6.40, term of two years, volatility of 52%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 0.52%. The line of credit expired on March 31, 2015 and there have been no drawdowns under the facility.

 

On October 30, 2014, the Company entered into a standby bridge financing agreement with two lenders, which was amended and restated on December 3, 2014, which provided a loan commitment in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Bridge”). Proceeds to the Company were net of a $100,000 debt discount under the terms of the Bridge. This debt discount was recorded as interest expense using the effective interest method, over the six month term of the Bridge. The Bridge became payable upon the IPO.  The Bridge was paid in May 2015, including interest thereon in an amount of $321,600. In connection with the Bridge, the lenders were granted warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $1,000,000 by the exercise price of 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015.  The fair value of the warrants, $505,348, was originally recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 3, 2014.  The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:  stock price of $5.01, exercise price of $5.23, term of five years, volatility of 63%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.61%. Based on the circumstances, the value derived using the Black-Scholes model approximated that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was recorded as interest expense over the six month term of the Bridge. Of the aggregate debt discount of $605,348 (warrants and original $100,000 discount), $521,291 was recorded as interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Additional financing costs of $104,000 were incurred related to the Bridge and deferred on closing. These are being recognized as interest expense over the six-month term of the Bridge using the effective interest method. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the remaining $86,667 of these deferred financing charges was recorded as interest expense.

On December 23, 2014, pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 to three accredited investors, including a convertible promissory note for $250,000 to the same board member to which the June 2, 2014 $200,000 convertible promissory note was issued and to which Series A preferred stock was sold. These notes accrued interest at 12% per annum and became payable within thirty days following the IPO. Upon consummation of the Company’s IPO, the noteholders converted the notes into 116,070 shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. In connection with these notes, the Company also issued the lenders a fully vested warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. These warrants entitle the noteholders to purchase 58,035 shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants, $147,943, was recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 23, 2014. The Company amortized the remaining $141,890 of this discount during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: stock price of $4.59, exercise price of $4.15, term of three years, volatility of 49%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.10%. Based on the circumstances, the value derived using the Black-Scholes model approximated that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was be recorded as interest expense over the one hundred ninety days from issuance of the notes through their first maturity date of July 31, 2015, beginning in January 2015. The Company analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a BCF existed because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method. A BCF of $502,057 has been recorded as a discount to the notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized the remaining $484,326 of the BCF which has also been recorded as interest expense.

 

In February 2015, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to two accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000. These notes were issued pursuant to the convertible note purchase agreement dated December 23, 2014.  Principal and interest of $103,912 was paid in May 2015 for $100,000 of these notes.

 

In March 2015, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC (“Dechra”). In connection therewith, Dechra paid the Company $1,000,000.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had recorded this amount as a loan advance on the balance sheet.  In April 2015, Dechra purchased $1,000,000 of convertible promissory notes from the Company, the terms of which provided that such notes were to be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of an IPO at a conversion price of $5.60 per share. In connection with the purchase of the notes, the Company issued Dechra a warrant to purchase 89,285 shares at $5.60 per share, which expires December 31, 2017.  The notes accrued simple interest of 12% per annum and, upon consummation of the Company’s IPO in May 2015, converted into 178,571 shares of the Company’s common stock.   The Company analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a BCF existed because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method. A BCF of for the full face value was recorded as a discount to the notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized the entire BCF of $1,000,000 which has also been recorded as interest expense.

 

In August 2015, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender for up to $8,000,000, which provided for an initial loan commitment of $6,000,000.  The loan agreement requires the Company to maintain $4,500,000 of the proceeds in cash, which amount may be reduced or eliminated on the achievement of certain milestones.  An additional $2,000,000 is available contingent on the achievement of certain further milestones.  The agreement has a term of three years, with interest only payments through February 29, 2016.  Thereafter, principal and interest payments will be made with an interest rate of 9.9%.  Additionally, there will be a balloon interest payment of $560,000 on August 1, 2018.  This amount is being recognized over the term of the loan agreement and the effective interest rate, considering the balloon payment, is 15.0%.  Proceeds to the Company were net of a $134,433 debt discount under the terms of the loan agreement.  This debt discount is being recorded as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan agreement.  Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to prepay principal and accrued interest upon five days prior notice to the lender.  In the event of prepayment, the Company is obligated to pay a prepayment charge.  If such prepayment is made during any of the first twelve months of the loan agreement, the prepayment charge will be (a) during such time as the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 2% of the minimum cash balance amount plus 3% of the difference between the amount being prepaid and the minimum cash balance, and (b)  after such time as the Company is no longer required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 3% of the amount being prepaid.  If such prepayment is made during any time after the first twelve months of the loan agreement, 1% of the amount being prepaid.

JOBS Act

 

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period, and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.                           Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

7.3 Procedures .

 

(a) A party making a claim for indemnity under this Article 7 hereinafter is referred to as an “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claim is asserted is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All claims by any Indemnified Party under this Section shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with the following provisions. If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Third Party, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand stating with reasonable specificity the circumstances of the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced. After receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, then upon reasonable notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, or upon the written request of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall defend, manage and conduct any proceedings,

 



 

negotiations or communications involving any claimant whose claim is the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice to the Indemnifying Party as set forth above, and shall take all actions necessary, including the posting of such bond or other security as may be required by any governmental authority, so as to enable the claim to be defended against or resolved without expense or other action by the Indemnified Party.

 

(b) In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of such Indemnified Party

 

(c) Upon written request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent it may legally do so and to the extent that it is compensated in advance by the Indemnifying Party for any costs and expenses thereby incurred, (1) take such action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such action, (2) allow the Indemnifying Party to dispute such action in the name of the Indemnified Party and to conduct a defense to such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, or (3) render to the Indemnifying Party all such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such dispute and defense.

 

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

 

ARTICLE 8

(iii) Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason with ninety (90) day notice subject to Section 2.3.

 

(iv) immediately upon written notice in the event that, as a result of an order of government or any other official authority, the continued operation of this Agreement in its entirety or in substantial part is prevented or delayed for an unspecified and indeterminate period.

Either Party shall not be liable for any amount that could have been avoided if cancelled upon notice of termination.

 



 

(f) No Waiver.  The termination or expiration of this Agreement, as the case may be, shall not act as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement and shall not act as a release of either Party from any liability or obligation incurred under this Agreement through the date of such termination or expiration, including payments due to Glenmark pursuant to this Agreement.
