(a)    On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)); provided , however , that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written consent. If pursuant to SEC Guidance, such alternative appropriate form requires Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” and Holder chooses not to give consent to be so named, the Company’s obligations under this subsection register on another appropriate form shall be waived. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section  4(c) ) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities as provided herein (the “ Effectiveness Period ”).

Failure to so notify the Holder within one (1) Trading Day of such

 

8


notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section  2(d)(iv) .

(b)    Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section  2(a) , if all of the Registrable Securities cannot be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its best efforts (i) to file additional Registration Statements as may be available pursuant to SEC Guidance successively trying to register on each such Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Registrable Securities permitted to be registered pursuant to SEC Guidance for resale, until all of the Registrable Securities have been registered for resale, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section  2(d)(iv) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages, and (ii) to have each such additional Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable; provided , however , that prior to and following the filing of any such additional Registration Statements, the Company shall be obligated to use best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance.

(c)    Subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section  2(d)(iv) , if, notwithstanding the Company’s compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 2(b), the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering, unless otherwise directed to the Company in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

(i)    first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities; and

(ii)    second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented (applied, in the case that some Registrable Securities may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities held by such Holders).

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment.

(d)     If:

(i)    the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date or if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section  4(a) ; or

 

9


(ii)    the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within two (2) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; or

(iii)    prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Trading Days) after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective; or

(iv)    a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement (provided, however, that if all Registrable Securities cannot be included in the Initial Registration Statement under conditions contemplated in Section 2(c), the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 2(d) shall not begin to accrue until the Effectiveness Date of any additional Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2(b) or Section 4(c)); or

(v)    after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason (other than due to the inaccuracy of any information regarding the Holders) to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of twenty (20) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach set forth in clauses (i)-(v) being referred to as an “ Event ”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such tenth (10th) or twentieth (20th) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “ Event Date ”), then,

in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with respect to any Securities then held by, or issuable to, such Holder that are Registrable Securities. The parties agree that the maximum

 

10


aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement shall be 12% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2(d) in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until and through the date such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

(e)    If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or Affiliate of a Holder as any underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.

3.     Underwritten Offering of Initiating Holders .

(a)    Up to three (3) Underwritten Offerings for the Lead Investor and up to two (2) additional Underwritten Offerings for any other Initiating Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement may be initiated by an Initiating Holder, upon notice to the Company; provided that such Underwritten Offering is for at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of Registrable Securities owned by the Initiating Holder and the Participating Holders (as defined below) in the aggregate.

(b)    Upon any such request for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company shall (i) deliver to each Holder (other than the Initiating Holder) written notice of such contemplated Underwritten Offering and (ii) enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the Initiating Holder and the underwriters, and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including indemnities no less favorable to the recipient thereof than those provided in Section 7. The Initiating Holder shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in the negotiation of such underwriting agreement and shall give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Company regarding the form thereof. The Holders participating in such Underwritten Offering (the “ Participating Holders ”) shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting agreement shall (x) contain such representations

If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided , that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).

If the indemnification under Section  7(a) or Section  7(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section  7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section  7 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

8.     Miscellaneous .

(a)     Remedies . In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

24


(b)     No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements . Until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their equivalents, until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section  8(b) shall not prohibit the Company from filing supplements or amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.

(c)    [ Reserved ]

(d)     Discontinued Disposition . By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section  4(d )( iii) through (vi) , such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section  2(d )( iv) .

(e)     Piggy-Back Registrations ; Underwritten Offerings .

(i)    If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (the “ Piggy-Back Registration Statement ”), other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or one universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to provide notice or otherwise register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section  8(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the

 

25


subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if such registration involves an Underwritten Offering, such Holder must sell such Registrable Securities that such Holder requests to be registered to, if applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth in Section  5 ) and subject to such Holder entering into customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an underwritten public offering in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 3(b), and (ii) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section  8(e) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall deliver written notice to such Holder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligations to pay any expenses incurred in connection therewith in accordance with Section 5). The inclusion of any Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration Statement shall not constitute a waiver by any Holder of any rights such Holder may have by virtue of Section 8(a) being breached by the filing such Piggy-Back Registration Statement.

(ii)    If the Company determines to proceed with any Underwritten Offering of Common Stock, whether on its own behalf or on behalf of any other stockholder of the Company, the Company shall so advise the Holders in writing, and each Holder shall have the right to have its Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering and, in such event, the Company shall make such arrangements with the managing underwriter or underwriters so that such Holders may participate in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant is to be on any other basis, the Company shall so advise the Holders in writing and each Holder shall have the right to have its Registrable Securities included in such offering and the Company shall make such arrangements so that such Holder may participate in such offering.

(iii)    If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities informs the Company and the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities which such Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be (i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect on such offering, with such number to be allocated pro rata among such Holders that have requested to participate in such offering based on the relative number of Registrable

 

26


Securities then held by each such Holder (provided that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner) and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referred to in clause (ii) have been included in such offering, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such offering that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect in such offering.

(f)     Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 75% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security); provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section  8(f) . No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

(g)     Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email attachment at the facsimile number or email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email address at the facsimile number or email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.

 

27


(h)     Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lead Investor may assign, in whole or in part, its rights under this Agreement to (i) any transferee of its Registrable Securities upon such transferee executing a joinder to this Agreement as an additional Holder, and (ii) any of its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective members, stockholders, owners, equity holders and family members, in each case with respect to this clause (ii), that own any Common Stock.

(i)     No Inconsistent Agreements . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of March 8, 2018, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 8(i), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Original Agreement nor any provision thereof shall have any further force or effect.

(j)     Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

(k)     Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert

 

28


in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party hereto shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

(l)     Cumulative Remedies . The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(m)     Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(n)     Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(o)     Independent Nature of Holders Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights,

 

29


including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Independent Auditor’s Report

The Board of Directors

SafeOp Surgical, Inc.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SafeOp Surgical, Inc. which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence that we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SafeOp Surgical, Inc. as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SafeOp Surgical, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.

Description of Business

SafeOp Surgical, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 30, 2011. The Company is a private biotech company focused on the commercializing of a medical device that automatically monitors and detects nerve abnormalities during surgeries. The Company’s corporate office is in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

In January 2014, the Company received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to market its Evoked Potential Assessment Device (EPAD™). The device is portable and intended for use in monitoring neurological status by recording somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs).

In 2016, the Company officially launched its product and began recording revenues. Prior to 2016, the Company’s primary activities since incorporation were to establish its offices, recruit personnel, conduct research and development, perform business and financial planning, and raise capital.

 

2.

Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Since inception the Company has reported losses from operations and is expected to generate losses and consume significant cash resources in the foreseeable future as the Company continues development of modules around the core product and continues to expand its sales channels. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $300,581 and an accumulated deficit of $13,761,635 as of December 31, 2017. During 2017, the Company received bridge note financing of $2,387,500 in the form of convertible promissory notes. These promissory notes are convertible to Series D preferred stock. As part of the Series D Closing, the Company also plans to issue an additional 1,795,342 shares of Series D Preferred Stock raising $1,172,678 in additional funds. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2017 of $300,581, the funds raised by the Series D Closing, and cash flows from sales in 2018, will be sufficient to fund planned expenditures and meet the Company’s obligations through part of 2018. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms at all.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates, and any difference could be material to the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses generally approximate their respective fair value because of the short-term maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in depository accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Sources of Supply

Many of the purchased components used to manufacture the Company’s products are single-sourced due to technology, price, or other considerations. Some of these single-sourced components are manufactured to the Company’s design and specifications. Most of these items, however, may be sourced from other suppliers, often after a requalification process. In the event that the Company’s supply of critical components was interrupted due to the time required to requalify materials or modify product designs, the Company’s ability to manufacture the related product in desired quantities and in a timely manner could be adversely affected. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by working closely with key suppliers to coordinate product plans and the transition to replacement components for critical parts.

Inventories

Inventories consists primarily of finished goods, which includes specialized medical devices, and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out cost method. The Company evaluates inventories for obsolescence and excess quantities based on changes in market demand or introduction of competing technologies.

Equipment and Depreciation

Equipment consists of computers, office equipment and furniture and is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs include the costs to design, develop, test, deploy and enhance its product. Costs incurred under agreements with third parties are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with the specific contractual performance terms of such agreements. Milestone payments incurred are charged to expense in accordance with the specific contractual performance terms of such agreements.

Intangible Asset

Intangible asset consists of purchased developed technology, which is amortized over a period of 20 years.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, as well as the operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period such tax rate changes are enacted. The Company has incurred losses since September 30, 2011 (inception). Therefore, the Company has incurred no income tax liability and has not recorded any provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it is less than 50 percent likely of being sustained.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, and generally remain open for the last three years, as applicable.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from sale of goods and services associated with the EPAD device, and recognized upon delivery of such goods and services. Revenue is recorded at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding any trade discounts.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at realizable value. Allowance for uncollectible amounts are based upon prior experience and aging. Receivables are reduced by this allowance, if any. All allowances and offsets are charged against revenue.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the expected vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. The Company accounts for nonemployee equity-based awards, in which services are the consideration received for the equity instruments issued, at their fair value.

For purposes of calculating the stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of the options granted by the Company in 2012 through 2016 was determined giving appropriate analysis to the preference of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock, the Company’s cash position and prior to 2016, its stage of development. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, was further based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures, if any.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant.

In March 2012 a total of 900,000 shares of common stock were issued under the Agreement. At December 31, 2015, the entire 900,000 restricted shares granted became fully vested. During 2016, an additional 7,215,541 shares of common stock were issued under the Agreement.

Even after any of the awarded shares become transferable pursuant to this Agreement, they will remain subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

Common Stock Warrants: In connection with the April and June 2016 sale of the Company’s Series C preferred shares, the Company granted 3,540,950 warrant shares to the Series C shareholders for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Warrant Agreement. The warrants allow for either a cash or share settlement at the sole discretion of the Company, and are only exercisable, whether in whole or in part, concurrently with the consummation of the Company’s first firm commitment underwritten public offering of Warrant Shares which occurs before the expiration time of the warrants. The warrants expire upon the first to occur of (a) on June 30, 2026 and (b) the consummation of a liquidation of the Company.

Stock Option Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plan - Under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) including amendments, 10,200,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NSOs). Employees, Directors, consultants, and other individuals who provide services to the Company are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that only employees of the Company are eligible to be granted ISOs. ISOs and NSOs may be granted with an exercise price no lesser than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted to a 10% stockholder shall be at no less than 110% of the fair value, and ISO grants to such 10% stockholders expire five years from the date of grant. ISOs granted under the Plan generally vest 25% after completion of the first year of service, and the balance vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of service and expire ten years from the grant date, unless subject to provisions regarding 10% stockholders. NSOs vest per the specific agreement and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Stockholders’ Deficit (continued)

 

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Expected dividend yield

     0.00

Expected term (in years)

     10 years  

Risk-free interest rate

     2.019

Expected stock price volatility

     100

The Company has not paid dividends on its common shares in the past nor does it expect to pay dividends in the future. As such, the company used a dividend yield percentage of zero. Additionally, because the Company does not have a publicly traded common stock, the expected volatility was estimated by the Company to be 100% consistent with the historical changes in the fair value of its stock price. The risk-free rates approximated the rate of treasury securities with the same term as the options on the date of the respective grant.

For the year ended, December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $191,132 of compensation expense related to stock options. As of December 31, 2017, there was $433,039 of total unrecognized cost related to non-vested stock option grants which is expected to be recognized over the next four years.

Income Taxes

At December 31, 2017, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $13,714,000 and $7,614,000, respectively. The difference between the federal and the state tax loss carryforwards is primarily attributable to the apportionment of income to various states. The Company also has federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $227,000 available to reduce future income subject to income taxes.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are shown below. A valuation allowance of $3,467,000 has been established as of December 31, 2017, to offset the deferred tax assets as realization of such assets does not meet the more likely than not threshold set forth in the standards.

Holders of the Series D preferred stock shall be entitled to dividends only when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Upon liquidation, holders of the Series D preferred stock are also entitled to be paid before holders of the Series C, B, or A Series preferred stock. Series D shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate 1:1.

Independent Auditor’s Report

The Board of Directors

SafeOp Surgical, Inc.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of SafeOp Surgical, Inc. which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence that we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SafeOp Surgical, Inc. as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

Description of Business

SafeOp Surgical, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 30, 2011. The Company is a private biotech company focused on the commercializing of a medical device that automatically monitors and detects nerve abnormalities during surgeries. The Company’s corporate office is in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

In January 2014, the Company received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to market its Evoked Potential Assessment Device (EPAD™). The device is portable and intended for use in monitoring neurological status by recording somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs).

In 2016, the Company officially launched its product and began collecting revenues. Prior to 2016, the Company’s primary activities since incorporation were to establish its offices, recruit personnel, conduct research and development, perform business and financial planning, and raise capital.

 

2.

Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Since inception the Company has reported losses from operations and is expected to generate losses and consume significant cash resources in the foreseeable future as the Company continues development of modules around the core product and begins to expand its business. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $1,226,539 and an accumulated deficit of $10,375,845 as of December 31, 2016. During 2016, the Company completed the first two tranches of its Series C Closing raising $4,500,000 from the issuance of 7,096,900 shares of convertible Series C preferred stock. A total of $8,000,000 is planned to be raised from the Series C preferred stock financing. The remaining $3,500,000 is expected to close on or before December 31, 2017. Prior to 2016, the Company had completed its Series A and Series B Closings and received $4,340,000 and $2,470,012 in net proceeds from the sale of 4,340,000 and 1,097,783 shares of convertible Series A and B convertible preferred stock, respectively. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2016 of $1,226,539 in addition to $3,500,000 from the remainder of the Series C transaction in 2017, will be sufficient to fund planned expenditures and meet the Company’s obligations through 2017. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms at all.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate the continued existence of the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates, and any difference could be material to the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses generally approximate their respective fair value because of the short-term maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in depository accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Sources of Supply

Many of the purchased components used to manufacture the Company’s products are single-sourced due to technology, price, or other considerations. Some of these single-sourced components are manufactured to the Company’s design and specifications. Most of these items, however, may be sourced from other suppliers, often after a requalification process. In the event that the Company’s supply of critical components was interrupted due to the time required to requalify materials or modify product designs, the Company’s ability to manufacture the related product in desired quantities and in a timely manner could be adversely affected. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by working closely with key suppliers to coordinate product plans and the transition to replacement components for critical parts.

Inventories

Inventories consists primarily of finished goods, which includes specialized medical devices, and are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out cost method. The Company evaluates inventories for obsolescence and excess quantities based on changes in market demand or introduction of competing technologies.

Equipment and Depreciation

Equipment consists of computers, office equipment and furniture and is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs include the costs to design, develop, test, deploy and enhance its product. Costs incurred under agreements with third parties are charged to expense as incurred in accordance with the specific contractual performance terms of such agreements. Milestone payments incurred are charged to expense in accordance with the specific contractual performance terms of such agreements.

Intangible Asset

Intangible asset consists of purchased developed technology, which is amortized over a period of 20 years.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, as well as the operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period such tax rate changes are enacted. The Company has incurred losses since September 30, 2011 (inception). Therefore, the Company has incurred no income tax liability and has not recorded any provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the relevant tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it is less than 50 percent likely of being sustained.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdictions, and generally remain open for the last three years, as applicable.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the expected vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. The Company accounts for nonemployee equity-based awards, in which services are the consideration received for the equity instruments issued, at their fair value.

For purposes of calculating the stock-based compensation expense, the fair value of the options granted by the Company in 2012 through 2016 was determined giving appropriate analysis to the preference of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock, the Company’s cash position and prior to 2016, its stage of development. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, was further based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures, if any.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated transactions and events that occurred through February 16, 2017, the date that these financial statements were available to be issued, for recognition and/or disclosure in these financial statements.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In April 2016, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation and certain Stockholders Agreements, to among other things increase the aggregate number of shares of all classes of stock of which the Corporation has the authority to issue to 67,893,550, designated as follows: (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 17,893,550 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 4,340,000 are designated Series A Preferred Stock, 1,097,783 are designated Series B Preferred Stock and 12,455,767 are designated Series C Preferred Stock.

Series A

The Company issued a total of 4,340,000 shares of Series A preferred stock with a price of $1 per share. The net cash proceeds of this financing was $4,340,000. The Company’s Series A preferred stock has been classified as mezzanine on the balance sheet instead of stockholder’s equity in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 480-10-S99-3, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, under which if the preferred security holders control a majority of the votes of the Board of Directors through direct representation on the Board of Directors or through other rights, the preferred security is redeemable at the option of the holder, and its classification outside of permanent equity is appropriate. Accordingly, the Series A preferred stock is classified as other than permanent equity or mezzanine equity.

Conversion

Each share of Series A preferred stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, be converted at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of consideration by the holder thereof, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares of common stock which a Series A holder shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of its Series A preferred stock shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Series A preferred stock being converted at any time by, (b) the conversion rate then in effect; or (c) upon a qualified public offering; or (d) upon the affirmative vote or consent of, and written notice to, the Company by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock.

Effective April 2016, in connection with the issuance of the Series C preferred stock, the conversion rights of the Series A preferred stock was changed from a 1:1 conversion rate to a 1:2.8868 conversion rate. At December 31, 2016, the total preferred stock issued and outstanding of 4,340,000 shares equals 12,528,868 common stock shares upon conversion.

The rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock are as follows:

Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)

 

Voting

Each Series A preferred stock holder shall be entitled to vote together with the common stock and all other series and classes of stock permitted to vote with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock (including election of directors). For each vote in which the Series A holders are entitled to participate, each Series A holder shall be entitled to that number of votes per share to which such Series A holder would have been entitled had each share of Series A preferred stock held by such Series A holder then been converted into shares of common stock as specified in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. The approval of Series A preferred stockholders is required for a number of significant changes to the Company, including creation of new classes of shares and amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, election of the Company’s board members, in addition to other corporate actions.

Dividends

Holders of Series A preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of any assets legally available only when as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, prior to and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock, at a rate equal to 8% per annum (based upon a 365-day year) of $1.00 per share. Effective April 2016, the accreted value of such undeclared dividends were added to the liquidation value of the shares, and all further accretion has been cancelled. To date, the Board of Directors has not declared any dividends.

Liquidation

In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and upon certain other defined events, the holders of the Series A preferred stock are also entitled to receive liquidation preferences in an amount per share of Series A preferred stock equal to (a) the Series A Issue Price plus, (b) an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Series A dividends (whether or not declared) on such shares of Series A preferred stock. Liquidation payments are made in preference to any payments to the holders of common stock. At December 31, 2016, the total liquidation value of the Series A preferred stock is $5,698,512. If, upon liquidation, the available assets shall be insufficient to pay the full amount of the Series A liquidation preference, the Series A holders shall share in any distribution or payment of available assets pro rata in proportion to the respective Series A liquidation preference which would otherwise be payable upon a liquidation with respect to the outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock if the Series A liquidation preference payable with respect to such shares were paid in full.

After payment in full of the Series A liquidation preference, the remaining available assets, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of the common stock pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of common stock then held by such holders.

Series B

In July through November 2014, the Company issued a total of 1,097,783 shares of Series B preferred stock with a price of $2.25 per share. The net cash proceeds received were $2,470,012. The Company’s Series B preferred stock has been classified as mezzanine on the balance sheet instead of stockholder’s equity in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 480-10-S99-3, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, under which if the preferred security holders control a majority of the votes of the Board of Directors through direct representation on the Board of Directors or through other rights, the preferred security is redeemable at the option of the holder, and its classification outside of permanent equity is appropriate. Accordingly, the Series B preferred stock is classified as other than permanent equity or mezzanine equity.

The number of shares of common stock which a Series B holder shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of its Series B preferred stock shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Series B preferred stock being converted at any time by, (b) the conversion rate then in effect; or (c) upon a qualified public offering; or (d) upon the affirmative vote or consent of, and written notice to, the Company by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock.

Effective April 2016, in connection with the issuance of the Series C preferred stock, the conversion rights of the Series B preferred stock was changed from a 1:1 conversion rate to a 1:3.96 conversion rate. At December 31, 2016, the total preferred stock issued and outstanding of 1,097,783 shares equals 4,347,082 common stock shares upon conversion.

The rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock are as follows:

Voting

Each Series B preferred stock holder shall be entitled to vote together with the common stock and all other series and classes of stock permitted to vote with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock (including election of directors). For each vote in which the Series B holders are entitled to participate, each Series B holder shall be entitled to that number of votes per share to which such Series B holder would have been entitled had each share of Series B preferred stock held by such Series B holder then been converted into shares of common stock as specified in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. The approval of Series B preferred stockholders is required for a number of significant changes to the Company, including creation of new classes of shares and amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, election of the Company’s board members, in addition to other corporate actions.

Dividends

Holders of Series B preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of any assets legally available only when as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, prior to and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Series A preferred stock and the common stock, at a rate equal to 8% per annum (based upon a 365-day year) of $1.00 per share. Effective April 2016, the accreted value of such undeclared dividends were added to the liquidation value of the shares, and all further accretion has been cancelled. To date, the Board of Directors has not declared any dividends.

Liquidation

In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and upon certain other defined events, the holders of the Series B preferred stock are also entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution or payment to holders of the Company’s capital stock of all classes, before any distribution or payment is made to any holders of Series A preferred stock or common stock, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to (a) the Series B Issue Price plus, (b) an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Series B dividends (whether or not declared) on such shares of Series B preferred stock. Liquidation payments are made in preference to any payments to the holders of common stock. At December 31, 2016, the total liquidation value of the Series B preferred stock is $2,819,448. If, upon liquidation, the available assets shall be insufficient to pay the full amount of the Series B liquidation preference, the Series B holders shall share in any distribution or payment of available assets pro rata in proportion to the respective Series B liquidation preference which would otherwise be payable upon a liquidation with respect to the outstanding shares of the Series B preferred stock if the Series B liquidation preference payable with respect to such shares were paid in full.

Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)

 

Series C

In April and June 2016, the Company issued a total of 7,096,900 shares of Series C preferred stock for net cash proceeds of $4,511,018. The Company’s Series C preferred stock has been classified as mezzanine on the balance sheet instead of stockholder’s equity in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 480-10-S99-3, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, under which if the preferred security holders control a majority of the votes of the Board of Directors through direct representation on the Board of Directors or through other rights, the preferred security is redeemable at the option of the holder, and its classification outside of permanent equity is appropriate. Accordingly, the Series C preferred stock is classified as other than permanent equity or mezzanine equity.

Conversion

Each share of Series C preferred stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, be converted at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of consideration by the holder thereof, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares of common stock which a Series C holder shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of its Series C preferred stock shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Series C preferred stock being converted at any time by, (b) the conversion rate then in effect, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

The rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock are as follows:

Voting

Each Series C preferred stock holder shall be entitled to vote together with the common stock and all other series and classes of stock permitted to vote with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock (including election of directors). For each vote in which the Series C holders are entitled to participate, each Series C holder shall be entitled to that number of votes per share to which such Series C holder would have been entitled had each share of Series C preferred stock held by such Series C holder then been converted into shares of common stock as specified in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. The approval of Series C preferred stockholders is required for a number of significant changes to the Company, including creation of new classes of shares and amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, election of the Company’s board members, in addition to other corporate actions.

Dividends

Holders of Series C preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of any assets legally available only when as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. To date, the Board of Directors has not declared any dividends.

Liquidation

In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and upon certain other defined events, the holders of the Series C preferred stock are also entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution or payment to holders of the Company’s capital stock of all classes, before any distribution or payment is made to any holders of Series A or Series B preferred stock or common stock, an amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Series C holder equal to $4,511,018, subject to adjustment for any stock dividends, stock splits, and other subdivisions. If, upon liquidation, the available assets shall be insufficient to pay the full amount of the Series C liquidation preference, the Series C holders shall share in any distribution or payment of available assets pro rata in proportion to the respective Series C liquidation preference which would otherwise be payable upon a liquidation with respect to the outstanding shares of the Series C preferred stock if the Series C liquidation preference payable with respect to such shares were paid in full.

Stockholders’ Deficit

Common Stock: In connection with the sale of the Company’s Series A preferred shares in the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company entered in an Award Agreement for Restricted Shares (the “Agreement”) with several common stockholders, including one employee/officer. In March 2012 a total of 900,000 shares of common stock were issued under the Agreement. At December 31, 2015, the entire 900,000 restricted shares granted became fully vested. During 2016, an additional 7,215,541 share of common stock were issued under the Agreement. None of the awarded shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered, pledged or otherwise alienated or disposed of in any way until they have become non-forfeitable in accordance with the Agreement. Even after any of the awarded shares become transferable pursuant to this Agreement, they will remain subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

Common Stock Warrants: In connection with the April and June 2016 sale of the Company’s Series C preferred shares, the Company granted 3,540,950 warrant shares to the Series C shareholders for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The amount of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of this warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Warrant Agreement. The warrants allow for either a cash or share settlement at the sole discretion of the Company, and are only exercisable, whether in whole or in part, concurrently with the consummation of the Company’s first firm commitment underwritten public offering of Warrant Shares which occurs before the expiration time of the warrants. The warrants expire upon the first to occur of (a) on June 30, 2026 and (b) the consummation of a liquidation of the Company.

The Company has a total of 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. The following shares of stock are issued or are reserved for future issuance:

     8,274,708

Stock Option Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plan - Under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) including amendments, 10,200,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NSOs). Employees, Directors, consultants, and other individuals who provide services to the Company are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that only employees of the Company are eligible to be granted ISOs. ISOs and NSOs may be granted with an exercise price no lesser than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted to a 10% stockholder shall be at no less than 110% of the fair value, and ISO grants to such 10% stockholders expire five years from the date of grant. ISOs granted under the Plan generally vest 25% after completion of the first year of service, and the balance vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of service and expire ten years from the grant date, unless subject to provisions regarding 10% stockholders. NSOs vest per the specific agreement and expire ten years from the date of grant.

Stockholders’ Deficit (continued)

 

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Expected dividend yield

     0.00

Expected term (in years)

     10 years  

Risk-free interest rate

     2.13

Expected stock price volatility

     100

The Company has not paid dividends on its common shares in the past nor does it expect to pay dividends in the future. As such, the company used a dividend yield percentage of zero. Additionally, because the Company does not have a publicly traded common stock, the expected volatility was estimated by the Company to be 100% consistent with the historical changes in the fair value of its stock price. The risk-free rates approximated the rate of treasury securities with the same term as the options on the date of the respective grant.

For the year ended, December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $63,745 of compensation expense related to stock options. As of December 31, 2016, there was $624,171 of total unrecognized cost related to non-vested stock option grants which is expected to be recognized over the next four years.

Income Taxes

At December 31, 2016, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,347,000 and $4,762,000, respectively. The difference between the federal and the state tax loss carryforwards is primarily attributable to the apportionment of income to various states. The Company also has federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $168,000 available to reduce future income subject to income taxes.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are shown below. A valuation allowance of $4,021,000 has been established as of December 31, 2016, to offset the deferred tax assets as realization of such assets does not meet the more likely than not threshold set forth in the standards.

Exhibit 99.2

Alphatec Holdings, Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

On March 6, 2018, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary, Safari Merger Sub, Inc. (“Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SafeOp Surgical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SafeOp”), certain Key Stockholders of SafeOp and a Stockholder Representative. The Merger Agreement provides for a reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”), which was consummated on March 8, 2018, in which Sub was merged into SafeOp, with SafeOp being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the term of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid $15 million in cash, agreed to issue 3,265,132 shares of Common Stock, issued $3 million of notes that are convertible into 931,667 shares of Common Stock (the “Notes”), and issued warrants to purchase 2.2 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (the “Merger Warrants”). An additional 1,330,263 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon achievement of post-closing milestones.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and SafeOp using the acquisition method of accounting.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 is based on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and SafeOp’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Merger and the completed and anticipated financing as if it had occurred on December 31, 2017, and includes all adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the Merger and are factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 gives effect to the Merger and the completed and anticipated financing as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017 and includes all adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the Merger and the completed and anticipated financing, are expected to have a continuing impact, and are factually supportable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the results of operations and financial position that the Company would have reported had the Merger been completed as of the date set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect certain adjustments based on management’s preliminary estimates of the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired. Upon completion of detailed valuation studies the Company may make additional adjustments to the fair values, and these valuations could change significantly from those used to determine certain adjustments in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

In addition to the Merger, the pro forma financial statements include the effect of entering into a securities purchase agreement dated March 8, 2018, pursuant to which the Company sold in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), including certain directors and executive officers of the Company, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, 45,200 shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) (which Preferred Shares will be converted into approximately 14,349,236 shares (subject to adjustment as described below and in the Certificate of Designations) of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) upon approval by the Company’s stockholders (“Stockholder Approval”), and warrants to purchase up to 12,196,851 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (the “Private Offering Warrants”). The Private Offering Warrants will become exercisable following Stockholder Approval, are subject to certain ownership limitations in certain cases, and expire five years after the date of such Stockholder Approval. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement were $45.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes and to fund strategic initiatives, including a portion of the Merger consideration described above.


The pro forma financial statements also include the effect of the Company entering into a Warrant Exercise Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with Armistice Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“Armistice”) on March 8, 2018, a holder of an outstanding warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Original Warrant”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exercise Agreement, Armistice has agreed to exercise, from time to time and in accordance with the terms of the Original Warrant, including certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein, the Original Warrant for cash (the “Warrant Exercise”). As a result of the Warrant Exercise, the Company received gross proceeds of $3.4 million on March 8, 2018 from the exercise of the 1.7 million shares of the Original Warrant, and expects to receive additional gross proceeds of up to $1.4 million thereafter from additional exercises of the remaining shares under the Original Warrant following Stockholder Approval. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Original Warrant for general corporate and working capital purposes and to fund strategic initiatives.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with:

Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

Description of Transaction

On March 6, 2018, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary, Safari Merger Sub, Inc. (“Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SafeOp Surgical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SafeOp”), certain Key Stockholders of SafeOp and a Stockholder Representative. The Merger Agreement provides for a reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”), which was consummated on March 8, 2018, in which Sub was merged into SafeOp, with SafeOp being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid $15 million in cash, agreed to issue 3,265,132 shares of Common Stock, issued $3 million of notes that are convertible into 931,667 shares of Common Stock (the “Notes”), and issued warrants to purchase 2.2 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (the “Merger Warrants”). An additional 1,330,263 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon achievement of post-closing milestones.

In addition to the Merger, the pro forma financial statements include the effect of entering into a securities purchase agreement dated March 8, 2018, pursuant to which the Company sold in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), including certain directors and executive officers of the Company, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, 45,200 shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) (which Preferred Shares will be converted into approximately 14,349,236 shares (subject to adjustment as described below and in the Certificate of Designations) of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) upon approval by the Company’s stockholders (“Stockholder Approval”), and warrants to purchase up to 12,196,851 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (the “Private Offering Warrants”). The Private Offering Warrants will become exercisable following Stockholder Approval, are subject to certain ownership limitations in certain cases, and expire five years after the date of such Stockholder Approval. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement were approximately $45.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes and to fund strategic initiatives, including a portion of the Merger consideration described above.

The pro forma financial statements also include the effect of the Company entering into a Warrant Exercise Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with Armistice Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“Armistice”) on March 8, 2018, a holder of an outstanding warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Original Warrant”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exercise Agreement, Armistice has agreed to exercise, from time to time and in accordance with the terms of the Original Warrant, including certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein, the Original Warrant for cash (the “Warrant Exercise”). As a result of the Warrant Exercise, the Company received gross proceeds of $3.4 million on March 8, 2018 from the exercise of the 1.7 million shares of the Original Warrant, and expects to receive additional gross proceeds of up to $1.4 million thereafter from additional exercises of the remaining shares under the Original Warrant following Stockholder Approval. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Original Warrant for general corporate and working capital purposes and to fund strategic initiatives.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement have been prepared based on the Company’s and SafeOp’s historical financial information, giving effect to the Merger and related adjustments described in these notes. The Company and SafeOp prepares its financial statement in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, gives effect to the Merger and the completed and anticipated financing as if they were completed on January 1, 2017


and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, gives effect to the Merger and the completed and anticipated financing as if they had occurred on that date.

The historical financial information is adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events and are based on (i) the historical consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company; (ii) the historical consolidated results of operations and financial condition of SafeOp; and (iii) pro forma events directly attributable to the proposed merger and with respect to the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results, as further described below.

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price for the Merger has been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on management’s preliminary estimates of the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired. Upon completion of detailed valuation studies the Company may make additional adjustments to the fair values, and these valuations could change significantly from those used to determine certain adjustments in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of SafeOp to conform to the presentation used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. These reclassifications have no net impact on the historical operating loss, loss from continuing operations, total assets, liabilities, or shareholders’ equity reported by the Company or SafeOp.

Purchase Price

In connection with the Merger, the Company agreed to pay $15 million in cash (subject to a working capital adjustment), agreed to issue 3,265,132 shares of Common Stock, issued Notes for $3 million, and issued Merger Warrants to purchase 2.2 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the price per share of the Common Stock was based on the per share price at the time of entering into the Letter of Intent and the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock for the period commencing on December 31, 2017 and ending March 5, 2018. For accounting purposes, such shares were valued as of March 8, 2018, at a per share price of $3.48; a total of $11.4 million. The Merger Warrants were fair valued at $1.6 million using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Additionally, a portion of the consideration transferred was to pay for certain SafeOp transaction costs incurred related to the Merger. As such, payments related to these reimbursements are excluded from the purchase price below.


The Company agreed to issue additional shares of Common Stock for up to $4.3 million upon achievement of post-closing milestones (the “Contingent Consideration”). The first milestone includes payment of up to $1.4 million 10 days after 501(k) submission of an application for regulatory clearance for an indication for use of a product that includes specifically recording of muscle activity, also known as electromyography (“EMG”). The second milestone includes a payment of up to $2.9 million 10 days after the receipt of 501(k) clearance from any regulatory authority for an indication for use of a product specifically EMG. The Contingent Consideration is recorded as a liability and measured at fair value using a probability-weighted income approach, utilizing significant unobservable inputs including the probability of achieving each of the potential milestones and an estimated discount rate related to the risks of the expected cash flows attributable to the milestones. The material factors that may impact the fair value of the Contingent Consideration, and therefore, this liability, are the probabilities of achieving the related milestones and the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of the probabilities of success would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value, respectively. The fair value of the Contingent Consideration, and the associated liability relating to the Contingent Consideration at each reporting date, will be re-estimated with the changes in fair value reflected in earnings.
