Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business Overview

 

Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MDRNA Research, Inc. (“MDRNA”), Cequent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cequent”), Atossa Healthcare, Inc. (“Atossa”), and IThenaPharma, Inc. (“IThena”) (collectively “Adhera,” or the “Company”), is an emerging specialty biotech company that, to the extent that resources and opportunities become available, is strategically evaluating its focus including a return to a drug discovery and development company.

 

Previously, the Company was a commercially focused entity that leveraged innovative distribution models and technologies to improve the quality of care for patients in the United States suffering from chronic and acute diseases with a focus on fixed dose combination therapies in hypertension. On January 4, 2021, the licensor terminated the licensing agreement for the product candidate.

 

As of the date of this report, the Company is not engaged in any research, development, or commercialization activities, and is not generating any revenues from operations.

 

On July 28, 2021, the Company and Melior Pharmaceuticals II, LLC entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development, commercialization and exclusive license of MLR-1019. MLR-1019 is being developed as a new class of therapeutic for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, the only drug candidate today to address both movement and non-movement aspects of PD. Under the Agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive license to use the MP Patents and know-how to develop products in consideration for cash payments upon meeting certain performance milestones as well as a royalty of 5% of gross sales.

 

To the extent that resources have been available, the Company has continued to work with its advisors to restructure our company and to identify potential strategic transactions, including the Melior transaction described above. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising sufficient capital to meet its obligations under the Melior license agreement. If the Company does not raise substantial additional capital to develop and commercialize repay its indebtedness which is in default or restructure the indebtedness, it is likely that the Company will discontinue all operations and seek bankruptcy protection.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future period.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. and the wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ithena, Cequent, MDRNA, and Atossa, and eliminate any inter-company balances and transactions. All wholly-owned subsidiaries of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. are inactive.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $42,000 and has negative working capital of approximately $16.3 million.

 

The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has funded its operating losses through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock, convertible notes and secured promissory notes. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $942,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $46.8 million as of June 30, 2021.

 

In addition, to the extent that the Company continues its business operations, the Company anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. However, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to obtain such funds required for our operations at terms acceptable to us or at all. General market conditions, as well as market conditions for companies in our financial and business position, as well as the ongoing issue arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, may make it difficult for us to seek financing from the capital markets, and the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing in the future, there may be a negative impact on the financial viability of the Company. The Company plans to increase working capital by managing its cash flows and expenses, divesting development assets and raising additional capital through private or public equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such financing or partnerships will be available on terms which are favorable to the Company or at all. While management of the Company believes that it has a plan to fund ongoing operations, there is no assurance that its plan will be successfully implemented. Failure to raise additional capital through one or more financings, divesting development assets or reducing discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the resolution of any of the above uncertainties.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods consolidated statements of operations including adjustments related to the adoption of ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on prior periods consolidated net loss or stockholders’ deficit.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include accruals related to our operating activity including legal and other consulting expenses, the fair value of non-cash equity-based issuances, the fair value of derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.

 

  8  
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company considers the fair value of cash, accounts payable, debt, and accrued expenses not to be materially different from their carrying value. These financial instruments have short-term maturities. We follow authoritative guidance with respect to fair value reporting issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for financial assets and liabilities, which defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. The guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company measured a conversion feature on an outstanding convertible note loan as a derivative liability using significant unobservable prices that are based on little or no verifiable market data, which is Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, resulting in a fair value estimate of approximately $103,000. There were no liabilities or assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and there were no liabilities or assets measured at fair value on a reoccurring or non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2020.

Convertible Debt and Warrant Accounting

 

Debt with warrants

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 470-20-25, when the Company issues debt with warrants, the Company treats the warrants as a debt discount, recorded as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets if the warrants are not treated as a derivative. The Company determines the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”),the binomial model or the Monte Carlo Method based upon the underlying conversion features of the debt and then computes and records the relative fair value as a debt discount. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Convertible debt – derivative treatment

 

When the Company issues debt with a conversion feature, it first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlyings, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in stockholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.

Convertible debt – beneficial conversion feature

 

Prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) on January 1, 2021, if the conversion feature was not treated as a derivative, the Company assessed whether it is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF exists if the effective conversion price of the convertible debt instrument is less than the stock price on the commitment date. This typically occurs when the conversion price is less than the fair value of the stock on the date the instrument was issued. The value of a BCF is equal to the intrinsic value of the feature, the difference between the conversion price and the common stock into which it is convertible and is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a debt discount in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

If the conversion feature does not qualify for either the derivative treatment or as a BCF, the convertible debt is treated as traditional debt.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (“ASU 2017-04”), which will simplify the goodwill impairment calculation by eliminating Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test. The new standard does not change how a goodwill impairment is identified. The Company will continue to perform its quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying amount, but if the Company is required to recognize a goodwill impairment charge, under the new standard, the amount of the charge will be calculated by subtracting the reporting unit’s fair value from its carrying amount. Under the current standard, if the Company is required to recognize a goodwill impairment charge, Step 2 requires it to calculate the implied value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the amount of the charge is calculated by subtracting the reporting unit’s implied fair value of goodwill from the goodwill carrying amount. The standard was effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which will simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including certain convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the new standard will remove the separation models required for convertible debt with cash conversion features and convertible instruments with beneficial conversion features. It will also remove certain settlement conditions that are currently required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and will simplify the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2022, for the Company and may be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, for the Company. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Management determined such adoption did not have a material impact on the overall stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities which include outstanding warrants, stock options and preferred stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss were the same.

Note 2 – Notes Payable

 

2019 Term Loan

 

During 2019, the Company entered into term loan subscription agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.7 million. The Company paid $707,000 in debt issuance costs which was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the straight-line method.

 

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly with the first interest payment to be made on December 28, 2019, and each subsequent payment every three months thereafter.

 

The unpaid principal balance of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will mature on the earliest to occur of: (i) June 28, 2020 (subject to extension for up to (60) days based upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the holders of a majority of the unpaid principal balance of all outstanding Notes) or (ii) at any time following an Event of Default. The Notes may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the holders of the Notes. The Notes are secured by a first lien and security interest on all the assets of the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

  11  
 

 

On December 28, 2019, the Company defaulted on the initial interest payment on the loan and the interest rate per annum increased to the default rate of 15%.On June 28, 2020, the Company defaulted on the maturity date principal payment.

 

The Company recognized approximately $382,000 and $771,000 in interest expense related to Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, including $171,000 and $347,000 related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. The Company recognized approximately $212,000 and $422,000 in interest expense related to the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the debt discount and issuance costs for this term loan were fully amortized.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.6 million of accrued interest on the notes included in accrued expenses and remains in default on the repayment of approximately $5.7 in principal and interest on the notes.

 

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding convertible notes as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

 

(in thousands)   June 30, 2021     December 31, 2020  
Convertible Notes   $ 906     $ 720  
Unamortized discounts     (89 )     (79 )
    $ 817     $ 641  

 

Four convertible notes with outstanding principal of approximately $772,000 were in default as of the issuance date of this report.

Secured Convertible Promissory Note – February 2020

 

On February 5, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with accredited investors pursuant to purchase: (i) original issue discount unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), with a principal of $550,500 issued at a 10% original issue discount, for a total purchase price of $499,950, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to such number of shares of the common stock of the Company as is equal to the product obtained by multiplying 1.75 by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the principal amount of the Notes by (B) the then applicable conversion price of the Notes.

 

The maturity date is the six (6) month anniversary of the original issue date, or August 5, 2020, or such earlier date as the Note is required or permitted to be repaid as provided thereunder, and to pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Note. Interest shall accrue to the Holders on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Notes at the rate of 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and shall accrue daily commencing on the original issue date until payment in full of the outstanding principal (or conversion to the extent applicable), together with all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts which may become due thereunder, has been made.

 

On or after May 5, 2020, until the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Notes shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the noteholder. The conversion price shall be the lower of: (i) $0.50 per share of Common Stock and (ii) 70% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading for the prior ten (10) trading days (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events); provided, that if the Notes are not prepaid on or before May 5, 2020, then the conversion price shall be the lower of (x) 60% of the conversion price as calculated above or (y) $0.05 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events). The conversion price of the Notes shall also be adjusted as a result of subsequent equity sales by the Company, with customary exceptions.

 

The exercise price of the Warrants shall be equal to the conversion price of the Notes, provided, that on the date that the Notes are no longer outstanding, the exercise price shall be fixed at the conversion price of the Notes on such date, with the exercise price of the Warrants thereafter (and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof) being subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrants. The warrants have a 5-year term.

 

The Company recorded a discount related to the warrants of approximately $322,000, including a discount of $30,000 and issuance costs of $53,000 based on the relative fair value of the instruments as determined by using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The Company also recorded a debt discount related to the convertible debt of approximately $21,000 and debt issuance cost of $38,000 using the relative fair value method to be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the straight-line method.

 

On June 15, 2020, the Company defaulted on certain covenants in the 2020 term loan and the interest rate reset to the default rate of 18%.

 

  12  
 

 

The Company recognized $35,000 and $55,000 in interest expense related to the notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively including $18,000 and $30,000 related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. The Company amortized $171,000 and $276,000 of debt discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company recognized $25,000 and $50,000 in interest expense related to the notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the debt discount and issuance costs for this term loan were fully amortized.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 7, 2021. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform them to actual results, new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

 

The following factors, among others, could cause our or our industry’s future results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated:

 

our ability to obtain additional funding for our company, whether pursuant to a capital raising transaction arising from the sale of our securities, a strategic transaction or otherwise;
   
our ability to satisfy our disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to maintain the registration of our common stock thereunder; and
   
our ability to attract and retain qualified officers, directors, employees and consultants as necessary.

 

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2021, any of which may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results.

 

As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Adhera Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MDRNA Research, Inc., Cequent Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Atossa Healthcare, Inc., and IthenaPharma, Inc. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts are expressed in United States dollars. Our common stock is currently listed on the OTC Pink Market, under the symbol “ATRX.”

Corporate Overview

 

Nature of Business

 

Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MDRNA Research, Inc. (“MDRNA”), Cequent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cequent”), Atossa Healthcare, Inc. (“Atossa”), and IThenaPharma, Inc. (“IThena”) (collectively “Adhera,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is an emerging specialty biotech company that, to the extent that resources and opportunities become available, is strategically evaluating its focus including a return to a drug discovery and development company. As of June 30, 2021, all of the subsidiaries of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. are inactive.

 

As a result, as of the date of this report, we are not engaged in any research, development or commercialization activities, and we are not generating any revenues from operations. Moreover, as of the date of this report, we do not have any personnel other than a contracted Chief Executive Officer.

 

On July 28, 2021, the Company and Melior Pharmaceuticals II, LLC entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development, commercialization and exclusive license of MLR-1019. MLR-1019 is being developed as a new class of therapeutic for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is, to the best of our knowledge, the only drug candidate today to address both movement and non-movement aspects of PD. Under the Agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive license to use the MP Patents and know-how to develop products in consideration for cash payments upon meeting certain performance milestones as well as a royalty of 5% of gross sales.

 

To the extent that resources have been available, we have continued to work with its advisors to restructure our company and to identify potential strategic transactions, including the Melior transaction described above to enhance the value of our company. Because of our substantial unpaid debt, if we do not raise substantial additional capital in the immediate future, it is likely that the Company will discontinue all operations and seek bankruptcy protection.

 

Appointment of Director

 

On April 20, 2021, we appointed Trond K. Waerness to serve as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

Need for Future Financing

 

We will require substantial additional funds on an immediate basis to continue our business operations. We have, in the past, raised additional capital to supplement our commercialization, clinical and pre-clinical development and operational expenses. We will need to raise additional funds through equity financing, debt financing, strategic alliances, or other sources, which may result in significant further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares or result in further encumbrances being placed on our assets. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, or that it will be sufficient for us to successfully engage in any of our planned business operations. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis as required or generate significant capital from the out-licensing and/or divestiture of existing assets, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and will be forced to scale down or even cease our operations altogether.

Sales and Marketing

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, sales and marketing expense decreased by approximately $5,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021 were primarily related to storage and other related costs incurred for Prestalia® inventory.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expense decreased by approximately $222,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in personnel related expenses and public company fees including legal expenses and insurance for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of 2020.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $169,000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the amortization of debt discounts for our outstanding convertible notes. The amortization of debt discount decreased by $123,000 primarily due to the maturity of outstanding convertible notes. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was a result of fees received from release of certain intellectual property rights in 2019 from a third-party vendor and fees received from the cancellation of a contractual obligation with a third-party vendor. The derivative expense was due to a conversion feature on a convertible note that was classified as a derivative on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.

Sales and Marketing

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, sales and marketing expense decreased by approximately $781,000 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily related to regulatory costs incurred for maintaining the Prestalia® NDA including approximately $679,000 of PFUFA fees. No such costs were incurred for the same period of 2021.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expense decreased by approximately $659,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in personnel related expenses and public company fees including legal expenses and insurance for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, decreased by $336,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the amortization of debt discounts for our convertible notes loans. The amortization of debt discount decreased by $153,000 primarily due to the maturity of our outstanding convertible notes. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was a result of fees received from release of certain intellectual property rights in 2019 from a third-party vendor and fees received from the cancellation of a contractual obligation with a third-party vendor. The derivative expense was due to a conversion feature on a convertible note that was classified as a derivative on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.

Current assets   $ 42     $ 1  
Current liabilities     (16,382 )     (14,774 )

Negative working capital as of June 30, 2021, was approximately $16.3 million as compared to negative working capital of approximately $14.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to an increase in current liabilities of approximately $1.5 million including approximately $747,000 in accrued dividends, $559,000 of accrued expenses and an increase in our convertible notes payable of approximately $176,000.

 

26
 

 

Cash Flows and Liquidity

 

Net cash used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $118,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to our net operating loss of approximately $942,000, partially offset by non-cash interest expense related to our term loans of $487,000, non-cash amortization of debt discount and fees of $129,000 and other changes in operating assets and liabilities including an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $121,000.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $490,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was primarily due to our net operating loss of approximately $2.7 million, partially offset by increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $914,000, and non-cash interest expense related to our term loans and other changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash used in Investing Activities

 

There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, or June 30, 2020.

 

Net cash provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 was approximately $159,000 and $448,000, respectively from the issuance of convertible notes to certain accredited investors, net of issuance costs

 

We will need to raise immediate additional operating capital to maintain our operations and to realize our business plan. Without additional sources of cash and/or the deferral, reduction, or elimination of significant planned expenditures, we will not have the cash resources to continue as a going concern thereafter.

 

Future Financing

 

We will require immediate additional funds to continue our business. Historically, we have raised additional capital to supplement our commercialization, clinical development and operational expenses. We will need to raise additional funds required through equity financing, debt financing, strategic alliances or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Failure to raise additional capital through one or more financings, divesting development assets or reducing discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included herein for the period ended June 30, 2021, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Any new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements included herein for the period ended June 30, 2021.

 

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness(es) in internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, was not effective.

 

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

 

Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
   
Lack of qualified accounting personnel to prepare and report financial information in accordance with GAAP; and
   
Lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

 

28
 

 

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

 

Providing funds are available, management plans to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies, contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

 

Identifying gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company; and
   
Continuing to develop policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.

 

We will continue to reassess our plans to remedy our internal control deficiencies in light of our personnel structure and our financial condition. We hope that such measures will lead to an improvement in the timely preparation of financial reports and strengthen our segregation of duties at our company. We are committed to developing a strong internal control environment, and we believe that the remediation efforts that we will implement will result in significant improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

General

 

Currently, there is no material litigation pending against our company. From time to time, we may become a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of such litigation and claims in the ordinary course of business cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2021, in addition to other information contained in those documents and reports that we have filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act since the date of the filing of the Annual Report, including, without limitation, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected due to any of those risks.

 

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

If we are unable to successfully commercialize MLR-1019 or are unable to make milestone payments, our result of operations would be adversely affected. 

 

We recently entered into an exclusive license agreement with Melior Pharmaceuticals II, LLC to develop and commercialize MLR-1019 as a new class of therapeutics for Parkinson’s Disease.   Upon MLR-1019 meeting certain milestones, the Company is required to make payments which aggregate approximately $21.75 million.  We currently do not have enough capital to meet any milestone and cannot assure you will be successful in raising the $250,000 we need to attempt to meet the first milestone.   If any milestone is met, we can provide you with no assurance that we will be able to raise capital in order to fund that milestone.   Additionally, if the drug candidate fails to meet any of the milestones and therefore is unable to be commercialized, we will receive no benefits from this license.   In any such event, our results of operations will suffer and we may need to cease operations.

THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER (THE “1933 ACT”)

ADHERA THERAPEUTICS INC.

10% CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE NOTE

DUE JUNE 25, 2022

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ADHERA THERAPEUTICS INC. (the “Company”) promises to pay to the order of GS CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC and its authorized successors and Permitted Assigns, defined below, (“Holder”), the aggregate principal face amount Sixty Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars exactly (U.S. $66,500.00) on June 25, 2022 (“Maturity Date”) and to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the rate of 10% per annum commencing on June 25, 2021 (“Issuance Date”). The Company acknowledges this Note was issued with a $3,500.00 original issue discount and as such the purchase price was $63,000.00. The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 30 Washington Street, Suite 5L, Brooklyn, NY 11201, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein. Permitted Assigns means any Holder assignment, transfer or sale of all or a portion of this Note accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith. To the extent that Holder subsequently transfers, assigns, sells or exchanges any of the multiple lesser denomination notes, Holder acknowledges that it will provide the Company with Opinions of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

 

3. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”) and applicable state securities laws. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company’s records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prequalified prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted (“Notice of Conversion”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date. All notices of conversion will be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after cash payment, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price for each share of Common Stock equal to a fixed price of $0.075 per share (the “Fixed Price”). Provided, however that in the event, the Company’s Common Stock trades below $0.08 per share for more than three (3) consecutive trading days, the Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price (“Conversion Price”) for each share of Common Stock equal toto 65% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future (“Exchange”), for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company or its transfer agent after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the Conversion Price shall be decreased to 55% instead of 65% while that “Chill” is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’ prior written notice by the Investor). The conversion discount, look back period and other terms will be adjusted on a ratchet basis if the Company offers a more favorable conversion discount, prepayment rate, interest rate, (whether through a straight discount or in combination with an original issue discount), look back period or other more favorable term to another party for any financings while this Note is in effect, including but not limited to defaults, penalties and the remedy for such defaults or penalties.

(b) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock (“Interest Shares”). Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

 

(c) The Notes may be prepaid or assigned with the following penalties/premiums:

 

PREPAY DATE   PREPAY AMOUNT
≤ 60 days   110% of principal plus accrued interest
61- 120 days   125% of principal plus accrued interest
121-180 days   140% of principal plus accrued interest

 

This Note may not be prepaid after the 180th day. Such redemption must be closed and funded within 3 days of giving notice of redemption of the right to redeem shall be null and void. Any partial prepayments will be made in accordance with the formula set forth in the chart above with respect to principal, premium and interest.

 

(d) Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization (excluding an increase in authorized capital) or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a “Sale Event”), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

(e) In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

 

5. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

 

6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

 

7. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.

 

8. If one or more of the following described “Events of Default” shall occur:

 

(a) The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note or any other note issued to the Holder by the Company; or

 

(b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note, shall be false or misleading in any respect; or

 

(c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note or any other note issued to the Holder; or

 

(d) The Company shall (1) become insolvent (which does not include a “going concern opinion); (2) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (3) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (5) file a petition for bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or

(e) A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or

 

(f) Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or

 

(g) One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

 

(h) Defaulted on or breached any term of any other purchase agreement or note or similar debt instrument into which the Company has entered and failed to cure such default within the appropriate grace period; or

 

(i) The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange (including the OTC Markets exchange) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days or ceases to file its 1934 act reports with the SEC;

 

(j) If a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving as members of the Board;

 

(k) The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion which includes an Opinion of Counsel expressing an opinion which supports the removal of a restrictive legend; or

 

(l) The Company shall not replenish the reserve set forth in Section 12, within 3 business days of the request of the Holder.

Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within 5 days, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder’s rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law. In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued beginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company. This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day. In an event of a breach of Section 8(h) the Holder may elect to utilize the same remedy available under the defaulted interest and such remedy shall be incorporated by reference into the terms of this Note. The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%. Further, if a breach of Section 8(m) occurs or is continuing after the 6 month anniversary of the Note, then the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion. For example, if the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period is $0.01 per share and the conversion discount is 50% the Holder may elect to convert future conversions at $0.005 per share.

 

If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.

 

9. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

10. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

 

11. The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell” issuer. Further. The Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a 144 opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion from Holder’s counsel.

 

12. The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 3,410,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled. The Company shall pay all transfer agent costs associated with issuing and delivering the share certificates to Holder. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price. The Company should at all times reserve a minimum of four times the amount of shares required if the note would be fully converted. The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to reserve such amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.

 

13. The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.

 

14. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest on this Note.

 

15. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York or in the Federal courts sitting in the county or city of New York. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.

Exhibit 4.6

 

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTION OR SAFE HARBOR PROVISION.

 

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

ADHERA THERAPEUTICS INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 800,000 Initial Issue Date: June 25, 2021
Aggregate Exercise Amount: $76,000  

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, GS CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC, or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Issue Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the three (3) year anniversary of the Initial Issue Date (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Termination Date”), to subscribe for and purchase from ADHERA THERAPEUTICS INC., a California corporation (the “Company”), up to 800,000 shares (as subject to adjustment herein, the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 1.2.

 

ARTICLE 1 EXERCISE RIGHTS

 

The Holder will have the right to exercise this Warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock as set forth below.

 

1.1 Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time, by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or emailed copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto. Within three (3) business days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 1.3 below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise form within two (2) business days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

1.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.095 per share, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). The aggregate exercise price is $76,000.

 

1.3 Cashless Exercise. In the event that shares covered by this Warrant are not subject to a registration statement at the time of exercise, then, in addition to a cash exercise, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

1
 

 

  (A) = the closing price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
       
  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
       
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

1.4 Delivery of Warrant Shares. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder will be delivered to Holder within three (3) business days of Notice of Exercise by “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) or by delivery of physical certificate. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Holder may assess penalties or liquidated damages (both referred to herein as “penalties”) as follows. For each exercise, in the event that shares are not delivered by the third business day (inclusive of the day of exercise if received before 4:00 pm EST), the Company shall pay the Holder in cash a penalty of $1,000 per day for each day after the third business day until share delivery is made. The Company will not be subject to any penalties once its transfer agent correctly processes the shares to the DWAC system. The Company will make its best efforts to deliver the Warrant Shares to the Holder the same day or next day.

 

1.5 Delivery of Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company. If the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, this Warrant shall automatically be cancelled without the need to surrender the Warrant to the Company for cancellation. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant and, for purposes of Rule 144, shall tack back to the original date of this Warrant.

 

1.6 Intentionally Omitted.

 

1.7 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to abide by the terms of this Warrant and fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other fees, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either (x) reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded), (y) deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder, or (z) pay in cash to the Holder the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.

1.8 Make-Whole for Market Loss after Exercise. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails to abide by the terms of this Warrant and fails to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares by DWAC/FAST electronic transfer (such as by delivering a physical certificate) and if the Holder incurs a Market Price Loss, then at any time subsequent to incurring the loss the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Market Price Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:

 

Market Price Loss = [(High trade price on the day of exercise) x (Number of Warrant Shares)] – [(Sales price realized by Holder) x (Number of Warrant Shares)]

 

The Company must pay the Market Price Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.

 

1.9 Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver Loss. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails to abide by the terms of this Warrant and fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:

 

Failure to Deliver Loss = [(High trade price at any time on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of Warrant Shares)]

 

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.

 

1.10 Choice of Remedies. Nothing herein, including, but not limited to, Holder’s electing to pursue its rights under Sections 1.8 or 1.9 of this Warrant, shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

1.11 Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Company for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Holder, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder. The Holder shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

 

1.12 Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both the Company and the Holder, at no time will the Holder exercise any amount of this Warrant to purchase Common Stock that would result in the Holder owning more than 9.9% of the Common Stock outstanding of the Company (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written request of Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

 

ARTICLE 2 ADJUSTMENTS

 

2.1 Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any other time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

3
 

 

2.2 Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

2.3 Intentionally Omitted.

 

2.3 Notice to Holder. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Article 2, the Company and the Holder shall promptly notify each other (by written notice) setting forth the proposed Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ARTICLE 3 COMPANY COVENANTS

 

3.1 Reservation of Shares. As of the issuance date of this Warrant and for the remaining period during which the Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company represents that upon issuance, such Warrant Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant constitutes full authority to its officers, agents and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing shares to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. No further approval or authority of the stockholders of the Board of Directors of the Company is required for the issuance of the Warrant Shares

 

3.2 No Adverse Actions. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

ARTICLE 4 MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1 Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

4.2 Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, by a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. If necessary to obtain a new warrant for any assignee, the Company, upon surrender of this Warrant, shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and such new Warrants, for purposes of Rule 144, shall tack back to the original date of this Warrant. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

4
 

 

4.3 Assignability. The Company may not assign this Warrant. This Warrant will be binding upon the Company and its successors, and will inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder to anyone of its choosing without the Company’s approval.

 

4.4 Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and either personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier. Notices will be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.

 

4.5 Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State of New York. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

 

4.6 Delivery of Process by Holder to the Company. In the event of any action or proceeding by Holder against the Company, and only by Holder against the Company, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by Holder via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, or process server to the Company at its last known address or to its last known attorney set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

 

4.7 No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 1.1. So long as this Warrant is unexercised, this Warrant carries no voting rights and does not convey to the Holder any “control” over the Company, as such term may be interpreted by the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of whether the price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the Exercise Price.

 

4.8 Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

4.9 Attorney Fees. In the event any attorney is employed by either party to this Warrant with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for the enforcement of this Warrant or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such proceeding will be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

 

4.10 Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any matter related to this Warrant, Holder has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.

 

4.11 Nonwaiver. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.

 

4.12 Amendment Provision. The term “Warrant” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, means this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

4.13 No Shorting. Holder agrees that so long as this Warrant remains unexercised in whole or in part, Holder will not enter into or effect any “short sale” of the common stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the common stock of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that as of the date of delivery to the Company of a fully and accurately completed Notice of Exercise, Holder immediately owns the common shares described in the Notice of Exercise and any sale of those shares issuable under such Notice of Exercise would not be considered short sales.
