ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Our board of directors has adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the policy, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person (including our executive officers, directors and 5% stockholders, as well as specified members of the family or household of any of these individuals or stockholders), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee (composed of Mr. Leibowitz, Mr. Mackie and Mr. Tamaroff, our independent directors), but only those independent directors who are disinterested, is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of this policy (other than the transactions described under “AHPAC’s Related Party Transactions” which were subject to the pre-business combination related party transactions policy) and no related party transactions with our independent directors were entered into.

AHPAC’s Related Party Transactions

Related Party Loans

AHPAC issued to Avista Acquisition Corp. (the “Sponsor”) on August 11, 2017, as amended and restated on August 30, 2018 and further amended on November 8, 2018, a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note pursuant to which AHPAC was permitted to borrow up to $850,000 in aggregate principal amount. As of the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018, AHPAC had borrowed $850,000 under such note, which amount was repaid at the closing of the business combination.

Administrative Services Agreement

AHPAC previously occupied office space provided by an affiliate of the Sponsor. Until the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018, the affiliate made such office space, as well as certain support services, available to AHPAC. AHPAC was required to pay the affiliate an aggregate of $10,000 per month for such office space and support services. As of April 30, 2017, the affiliate agreed to defer payment of the monthly administrative fee under the Administrative Services Agreement until the closing of the business combination. As of the closing of the business combination on December 10, 2018, $193,226 was accrued and included in accrued expenses related to the Administrative Services Agreement and was paid in full at the closing of the business combination.

Private Placement Warrants

The initial shareholders of AHPAC purchased 16,000,000 private placement warrants at $0.50 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000) in a private placement on the close date. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants were placed into AHPAC’s trust account. The initial shareholders also purchased an additional 400,000 private placement warrants at $0.50 per warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000) simultaneously with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the AHPAC initial public offering. Each private placement warrant was exercisable for one-half of one AHPAC Class A ordinary share. In connection with the closing of the business combination and the transactions contemplated thereby on December 10, 2018, all 16,400,000 of the private placement warrants were surrendered to the Company for no consideration and were cancelled.

Founder Shares

In connection with the organization of AHPAC, on December 14, 2015, an aggregate of 8,625,000 AHPAC Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares”) were sold to the Sponsor at a price of approximately $0.003 per share, for an aggregate price of $25,000. In October 2016, the Sponsor transferred 50,000 founder shares to each of AHPAC’s independent directors at a price per share of approximately $0.003 per share. In addition, at such time, each of AHPAC’s independent directors purchased an additional 421,250 founder shares from the Sponsor at a price per share of approximately $0.003 per share. The 8,625,000 founder shares included an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters of the AHPAC initial public offering in order to maintain the initial shareholders’ ownership at 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon completion of the AHPAC initial public offering. Following the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, 875,000 founder shares were forfeited in order to maintain the initial shareholders’ ownership at 20% of the issued and outstanding AHPAC ordinary shares. On August 17, 2018 the Sponsor and the other holders of founder shares agreed to surrender to the Company for no consideration an aggregate of 1,937,500 founder shares in connection with the execution of the merger agreement, which founder shares were cancelled. In connection with the closing of the business combination and the transactions contemplated thereby on December 10, 2018, an additional 4,421,507 of the founder shares were surrendered to the Company and cancelled. The remaining 1,390,993 outstanding founder shares became shares of the Company’s Class A common stock upon the closing of the business combination and are subject to the transfer restrictions described below. The outstanding founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until December 10, 2019. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the business combination, the outstanding founder shares will be released from the lock-up.

Concurrently with the signing of the merger agreement, AHPAC entered into a subscription agreement with Avista Capital Partners IV, L.P. and Avista Capital Partners IV (Offshore), L.P. (together, the “PIPE Investors”) for the purchase and sale of 9,022,741 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 4,100,000 warrants to purchase one half of one share of our Class A common stock (the “equity financing”) for an aggregate purchase price of $46 million, which was consummated concurrently with the consummation of the business combination on December 10, 2018. The effective price to the PIPE Investors of the equity financing was approximately $5.10 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The PIPE Investors also purchased, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement on August 17, 2018, 6,538,732 shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $46 million. The purpose of the private investment was to fund the business combination and related transactions and for general corporate purposes. The effective price of the private investment to the PIPE Investors was approximately $5.91 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock across their aggregate $92 million investment. As a result of the incremental surrender of founder shares described above, the effective price of the equity financing to the Company was approximately $7.035 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The warrants surrendered did not impact these calculations, as no purchase price was allocated to the warrants in light of the exercise price of the warrants.
