Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Description of the Business

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The consolidated financial statements of Egalet Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Egalet” or the “Company”) as of March 31, 2019 (Successor) and for the periods from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (Successor), January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 (Predecessor) and the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Predecessor) are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, though, as described below, such prior financial statements will not be comparable to the interim financial statements due to the adoption of fresh start accounting on January 31, 2019. For additional information, see   Note 3- Fresh Start Accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (Successor) are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

 

Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 Proceedings

 

Chapter 11 Cases

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (The “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the SOLUMATRIX® products and INDOCIN® products and one development product from Iroko Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Iroko”). To facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Iroko Products Acquisition”) and to reorganize its financial structure, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and a related Joint Plan of Reorganization ( “the Plan”) on October 30, 2018. The Iroko Products Acquisition was consummated, and the Plan became effective, on January 31, 2019.

 

The Company requested that the Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) be jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption “In re Egalet Corporation, et al., Case No. 18-12439”. Upon filing, the Company continued to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Company continued ordinary course operations substantially uninterrupted during the Chapter 11 Cases and sought approval from the Bankruptcy Court for relief under certain “first day” motions authorizing the Company to continue to conduct its business in the ordinary course. On January 14, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 31, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), and substantially concurrent with the consummation of the acquisition of the  Iroko products named below (the “Iroko Products Acquisition”), the Plan became effective.

 

Organization and Business Overview

 

The Company is a commercial-stage life sciences company focused on developing and marketing important treatments for patients and healthcare providers. Egalet currently has a portfolio of innovative treatments for different types of pain and inflammation. The Company has seven commercially available products: SPRIX ® (ketorolac tromethamine) Nasal Spray, ZORVOLEX ®   (diclofenac), VIVLODEX ®   (meloxicam), TIVORBEX ®   (indomethacin), INDOCIN ® (indomethacin) suppositories, INDOCIN® oral suspension and OXAYDO ® (oxycodone HCI, USP) tablets for oral use only —CII.  To augment its current product portfolio, the Company is seeking to acquire additional product

candidates or approved products to develop and/or market. The Company plans to grow its business through its commercial revenue and potential business development opportunities.

 

Liquidity and Substantial Doubt in Going Concern

 

Substantial Doubt Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10.5 million and working capital of $1.5 million. Even though the Company emerged from bankruptcy, it continues to have significant indebtedness and its ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful integration of the Iroko Products Acquisition, increasing its revenue, managing its expenses and complying with the terms of its new debt agreements. Refer to Note 9—Debt for additional details of debt agreements.

 

These factors, in combination with others described above, resulted in the conclusion that there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the one-year period after the date that these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern .

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Accounting

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company’s consolidation policy requires the consolidation of entities where a controlling financial interest is held. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations , which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on February 1, 2019. As a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements subsequent to January 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, any other interim periods or any future year or period . See  Note 3 – Fresh Start Accounting  for further details on the impact of fresh start accounting on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on March 29, 2019 with the SEC.

 

References to "Successor" or "Successor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to January 31, 2019. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, January 31, 2019.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of those financial statements, new accounting policies are noted below.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the reorganization equity value over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets pursuant to ASC 852 Reorganizations . Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment

Table of Contents

at the reporting unit level at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of net assets are below their carrying amounts. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. Our operations are currently comprised of a single, entity wide reporting unit.

 

The Company determined that no events have occurred or circumstances changed during the period from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 (Predecessor) that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of the Company’s reporting units below their respective carrying amounts. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration 

 

Pursuant to the Iroko Products Acquisition, the Company has obligations relating to contingent payment consideration for future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million . The Company recorded the acquisition-date fair value of these contingent liabilities, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting date.  The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The royalty term commenced on the Effective Date and ends on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, January 31, 2029.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (ASC 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases" (ASU 2018-10), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842)-Targeted Improvements" (ASU 2018-11), which addressed implementation issues related to the new lease standard. These and certain other lease-related ASUs have generally been codified in ASC 842. ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, Leases (ASC 840). ASC 842 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date, which allows the Company to not adjust the comparative periods presented. The Company has elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, the lease classification for existing or expired leases or the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date. Further, the Company does not expect the amendments in ASU 2018-01: Land Easement Practical Expedient to have an effect on its financial position because it did not enter into land easement arrangements. The Company has elected, as an accounting policy, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less.

 

Upon adoption, the Predecessor Company recorded a lease liability of $2.5 million with a corresponding ROU asset of $1.9 million for its operating leases.  The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

3. Fresh Start Accounting

 

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting as (i) the reorganization value of the assets of the Successor Company immediately before the date of confirmation of the Plan was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (ii) the holders of the Predecessor Company’s voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity.

 

GAAP requires the adoption of fresh start accounting on the later of (i) the Plan confirmation date, or (ii) when all material conditions precedent to the Plan’s becoming effective are resolved, which occurred on January 31, 2019. Accordingly, the Company selected January 31, 2019 as the fresh start reporting date. Upon the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values. Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill.

 

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan based upon an estimated enterprise value of the Company between $162 million and $200 million, which was estimated using various valuation methods, including (i) comparable public company analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company relative to other publicly traded companies with similar operation and financial characteristics; (ii) discounted cash flow analysis, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the asset or business based on its projection, and (iii) precedent transaction analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company by examining comparable public merger and acquisition transactions. Based upon a reevaluation of relevant factors used in determining the range of enterprise value and updated expected cash flow projections, the Company concluded the enterprise value, or fair value, was $196.6 million.

 

The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the enterprise value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions. While the Company considers such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and, therefore, may not be realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the Company’s enterprise value. The assumptions used in the calculations for the discounted cash flow analysis, which had the most significant effect on our estimated enterprise value, included the following: forecasted revenue, costs and free cash flows through 2023, discount rate of 15.1 %. A terminal value of $217.3 million was established, which was determined using a perpetual long-term growth rate of 3%.

 

The four-column consolidated statement of financial position as of January 31, 2019, included herein, applies effects of the Plan and fresh start accounting to the carrying values and classifications of assets or liabilities. Upon adoption of fresh start accounting, the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values. Accordingly, the reported historical financial statements of the Predecessor Company prior to the adoption of fresh start accounting for periods ended on or prior to January 31, 2019 are not comparable to those of the Successor Company.

 

In applying fresh start accounting, the Company followed these principles:

 

·

The reorganization value, which represents the concluded enterprise value plus excess cash and cash equivalents and non-interesting bearing liabilities of the entity, was allocated to the entity’s reporting units in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations . The reorganization value exceeded the sum of the fair value assigned to assets and liabilities. This excess was recorded as Successor Company goodwill as of January 31, 2019.

·

Each asset and liability existing as of the fresh start accounting date, other than deferred taxes, has been stated at the fair value, and determined at appropriate risk adjusted interest rates.

·

Deferred taxes were reported in conformity with applicable income tax accounting standards, principally ASC 740, Income Taxes .

c)

Adjustments to accrued expense reflect i) $2.15 million success fees to be paid after the Effective Date upon the completion of the Iroko Products Acquisition and Chapter 11 proceedings, ii) $1.0 million transaction fees to be paid after the Effective Date for expenses Iroko incurred in connection with the acquisition, and iii) $17.03 million product related liabilities such as rebate, coupon payment, etc. assumed from Iroko.

d)

Reflects obligations entered into upon emergence to finance transactions effectuated by the Plan: i) $90.3 million in 13% Notes, net of discount for interest-free period, and a royalty rights agreement giving the right to receive payment equal to 1.5% of net sales on all reorganized entity products, ii) $4.5 million pursuant to the Interim Promissory Note, and iii) $14.8 million in contingent consideration. Specifically, the contingent consideration represents the fair value of future royalty payments due to Iroko in the event Indocin net sales exceed $20.0 million in any fiscal year between the Effective Date and January 31, 2029 (“Indocin Royalty”). The current portion of the 13% Notes, Interim Promissory Note, and Indocin Royalty is $1.1 million, $0.4 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.

e)

The adjustment to liabilities subject to compromise relates to the extinguishment of the former 13% Notes and associated royalty rights, the 5.50% and 6.50% Notes, and rejected contracts. The former 13% Notes were settled with $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes newly issued common stock of the Successor Company representing approximately 19.38% of the common stock then outstanding, and $20.0 million in cash equal to the sum of adequate protection payments of $1.8 million and cash distribution of $18.2 million. The 5.50% and 6.50% Notes were settled with newly issued common stock of the Successor Company representing approximately 31.62% of the common stock then outstanding. Contracts rejected in the Chapter 11 cases did not receive any consideration.

f)

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s predecessor common stock was cancelled, and new common stock and warrants were issued.  The adjustment eliminated the Predecessor Company’s common stock, additional paid-in capital and recorded the Successor Company’s new $0.001 par value common stock, warrants and additional paid-in capital.  The Company issued 9,360,968 shares of new common stock and additional paid-in capital of $60.8 million and $26.1 million of warrants.  The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of such warrants at issuance include an assumed share price volatility of 60%, a risk-free rate of return of 2.43% with a 5 year term, and marketability discount between 7% and 20% for the lock-up periods.

Fresh Start Adjustments

 

h)

A $3.2 million adjustment was recorded to adjust the Company’s legacy inventory, excluding inventory assumed from Iroko, to fair value.  The Company obtained an independent third-party valuation specialist’s assistance in the determination of the fair values of inventory. The inventory valuation included an analysis of net realizable value of the work in progress inventory and finished goods. Finished goods are valued using the comparative sales method as a function of the estimated selling price less the sum of any cost to complete, costs of disposal, holding costs, and a reasonable profit allowance. Carrying value of raw materials and packaging is assumed to represent a reasonable proxy for fair value.

i)

Reflects fresh start adjustments recorded to adjust intangible assets related to the Company’s legacy products, SPRIX and OXAYDO, to fair value. The Company obtained independent-third party valuation specialist’s assistance in determination of the fair values of intangibles. SPRIX and OXAYDO intellectual property values are valued using the multi period excess earnings method under the income approach. The multi-period excess earnings method measures economic benefit indirectly by calculating the income attributable to an asset after appropriate returns are paid to complementary assets used in conjunction with the subject asset to produce contributory asset charges. Key components of the excess earnings methods include revenue, adjusted operating margin, charges for use of other assets, and discount rate.

4. Revenue From Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers.  To recognize revenue pursuant to the provisions of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct to determine those that are performance obligations.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.  To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price to which the Company expects to be entitled after giving effect to returns, rebates, sales allowances and other variable elements with contracts between the Company and its customers.  Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a

13


 

Table of Contents

significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.  Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance under the contract and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.  Sales taxes and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component.  Applying the significant financing practical expedient, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less.  None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component during the period ended March 31, 2019.

The Company’s existing contracts with customers contain only a single performance obligation and, as such, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.  Should future contracts contain multiple performance obligations, those would require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation.  The Company determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices or a cost-plus margin approach when one is not available.

The Company’s performance obligations are to provide pharmaceutical products to several wholesalers or a single specialty pharmaceutical distributor.  All of the Company's performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good to a customer, which is typically upon delivery.  Payments for invoices are generally due within 30 to 65 days of invoice date.

Reserves for Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from returns, rebates and sales allowances that are offered within or impacted by contracts between the Company and its customers. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns.  Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract as of the date of determination.  The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.  Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates.  If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Table of Contents

Product Returns   

Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for its products. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized.  The Company estimates product return liabilities using the expected value method based on its historical sales information and other factors that it believes could significantly impact its expected returns, including product discontinuations, product recalls and expirations, of which it becomes aware. These factors include its estimate of actual and historical return rates for non-conforming product and open return requests.

Specialty Pharmacy Fees 

The Company pays certain specialty pharmaceutical distributor fees based on a contractually determined rate. The Company records the fees on shipment to the distributor and recognizes the fees as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Wholesaler Fees

The Company pays certain pharmaceutical wholesalers fees based on a contractually determined rate. The Company accrues the fees on shipment to the respective wholesalers and recognizes the fees as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Prompt Pay Discount

The Company offers cash discounts to its customers, generally 2% of the sales price, as an incentive for prompt payment. The Company estimates cash discounts using the mostly likely amount method by reducing accounts receivable by the prompt pay discount amount. The discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue in the same period as the related revenue.

Patient Discount Programs

The Company offers co-pay discount programs to patients for each of its products, in which patients receive a co-pay discount on their prescriptions. For discount amounts that are not immediately available, the Company estimates the total amount that will be redeemed using the expected value   method based on the quantity of product shipped. The Company recognizes the discount as a reduction of revenue in the same period as the related revenue.

Commercial and Government Rebates

The Company contracts with various commercial and government payor organizations, primarily private insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of its products.  The Company estimates these rebates using the expected value   method and records such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of net product sales and the establishment of an accrued expense.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of March 31, 2019. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement including performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. All of the Company’s contracts are eligible for the practical expedient provided by ASC 606, therefore the Company elected not to disclose any remaining performance obligations.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers

When the Company receives consideration from a customer, or such consideration is unconditionally due from a customer prior to the transfer of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, the Company records a contract liability. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company classifies contract liabilities as deferred revenue. The Company had no deferred revenue as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.  

 

Contract assets primarily relate to rights to consideration for goods or services transferred to the customer when the right is conditional on something other than the passage of time.  Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.  The Company had no contract assets as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company has elected to account for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of finished products to customers are expensed as incurred and are recorded in costs of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, commissions) when incurred as the period of benefit is less than one year.

13% Senior Secured Notes Indenture Due 2024

 

On the Effective Date, the Company issued $95.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% senior secured notes (the “13% Notes”) and entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the 13% Notes with the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). The 13% Notes were issued in two series: (x) $50.0 million of “Series A-1 Notes”, issued pursuant to the Plan to former holders of First Lien Secured Notes Claims (the “former 13% Notes”) and which will be subject to an interest holiday from the Effective Date through November 1, 2019 and (y) $45.0 million of “Series A-2 Notes,” issued to Iroko and certain of its affiliates and which are subject to the rights of set-off and recoupment and related provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On the Effective Date, the Company recorded a discount associated with interest holiday on the Series A-1 Notes of $4.6 million.  The obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the 13% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by the Guarantors.

 

Interest on the 13% Notes accrues at a rate of 13% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year (each, a “Payment Date”) commencing on May 1, 2019 (subject to the interest holiday referred to above with respect to the Series A-1 Notes). On each Payment Date, the Company will also pay an installment of principal on the 13% Notes in an amount equal to 15% of the aggregate net sales of OXAYDO (oxycodone HCI, USP) tablets for oral use only —CII, SPRIX (ketorolac tromethamine) Nasal Spray, ARYMO ER, Egalet-002, the SOLUMATRIX® products and the INDOCIN products for the two consecutive fiscal quarter period most recently ended, less the amount of interest paid on the 13% Notes on such Payment Date.

 

The 13% Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and will be equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company, will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, will have the benefit of a security interest in the 13% Notes collateral and will be junior in lien priority in respect of any collateral that secures any first priority lien obligations incurred from time to time in accordance with the Indenture. The stated maturity date of the 13% Notes is January 31, 2024. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, subject to certain conditions, or certain Asset Sales events (each, as defined in the Indenture), holders of the 13% Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 13% Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Table of Contents

The Company may redeem the 13% Notes at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, prior to January 31, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate in respect of such redemption date plus 1%. The Company may redeem the 13% Notes at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, on or after January 31, 2020, at a redemption price equal to: (i) from and including January 31, 2020 to and including January 30, 2021, 103% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes to be redeemed and (ii) from and including January 31, 2021 and thereafter, 100% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes to be redeemed, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to January 31, 2020, the Company may redeem, at its option, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes with the proceeds of one or more public or private equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 113.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption in accordance with the Indenture; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of 13% Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption and provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering.  No sinking fund is provided for the 13% Notes, which means that the Company is not required to periodically redeem or retire the 13% Notes.

 

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries must also comply with certain affirmative covenants, such as furnishing financial statements to the holders of the 13% Notes, and negative covenants, including limitations on the following: the incurrence of debt; the issuance of preferred and/or disqualified stock; the payment of dividends, the repurchase of shares and under certain conditions making certain other restricted payments; the prepayment, redemption or repurchase of subordinated debt; the merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving the Company; engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; and the making of investments other than those permitted by the Indenture.  In addition, commencing December 31, 2019, the Company must maintain a minimum level of consolidated liquidity, based on unrestricted cash on hand and availability under any revolving credit facility, equal to the greater of (1) the quotient of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes divided by 9.5 and (2) $7.5 million.

 

The Indenture governing the 13% Notes contains customary events of default with respect to the 13% Notes (including the Company’s failure to make any payment of principal or interest on the 13% Notes when due and payable or the Company’s failure to comply with the minimum consolidated liquidity covenant described above), and upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 13% Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the 13% Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as well as the then-applicable optional redemption premium under the Indenture, will be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture), the Notes will automatically become due and payable. With respect to any event of default due to the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant, the Company may, within ten business days, cure such default through the issuance of equity securities, subordinated debt securities or certain other capital contributions.

 

Preemptive Rights Agreements

 

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into preemptive rights agreements (the “Preemptive Rights Agreements”) with certain of the holders of the former 13% Notes. The Preemptive Rights Agreements provide for customary preemptive rights in favor of the parties thereto with respect to certain future issuances of debt or equity securities by the Company, subject to certain exceptions, for so long as such party continues to hold at least 2.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Collateral Agreement

 

On the Effective Date and in connection with its entry into the Indenture, the Company entered into a collateral agreement, dated as of the Effective Date, with the Collateral Agent and the subsidiary parties from time to time party thereto (the “Collateral Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreement, the Notes and the related guarantees are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, in each

21


 

Table of Contents

case, subject to certain prior liens and other exclusions, and a pledge of 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (other than Egalet Limited and any Specified IP Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture), of which 100% of the voting equity interests have been pledged) to the extent and only for so long as the Company determines in good faith that permitting a pledge of 100% of such voting Equity Interests would result in material adverse tax consequences for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, it being understood that, if a percentage less than 100% but greater than 65% of such voting equity interests may be pledged without any such material adverse tax consequences, then such percentage shall be pledged.

 

Royalty Rights Obligation

 

In connection with 13% Notes, the Company entered into royalty rights agreements (the “Royalty Rights”) with each of the holders of the 13% Notes pursuant to which the Company will pay the holders of the 13% Notes aggregate 1.5% royalty on Net Sales (as defined in the Indenture) from the Effective Date through December 31, 2022.

 

The Royalty Rights were determined to be a freestanding element with respect to the 13% Notes and the Company is accounting for the Royalty Rights obligation relating to future royalties as a debt instrument.  The Company has Royalty Rights obligations of $5.5 million as of March 31, 2019, which are classified as current and non-current debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The accounting for the 13% Notes requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about the future net sales. The estimates of the magnitude and timing of net sales are subject to significant variability due to the extended time period associated with the financing transaction, and are thus subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, these estimates and assumptions are likely to change, which may result in future adjustments to the portion of the debt that is classified as a current liability, the amortization of debt issuance costs and discount as well as the accretion of the interest expense. Any such adjustments could be material.  On the Effective Date, the fair value of the Royalty Rights obligation associated with net product sales was estimated to be approximately $5.7 million using a probability-weighted present value analysis.  On the Effective Date, the Royalty Rights obligation was recorded with an offsetting discount recognized on the 13% Notes.

 

Credit Agreement

 

On March 20, 2019, (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”) and certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), which Credit Agreement consists of a $20.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company drew $5.0 million on the Closing Date and must maintain at least 25% of the commitment amount outstanding at all times. The Company will use the proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement for working capital purposes and to pay costs and expenses incurred by the Credit Agreement and related transactions. This arrangement will be recognized as a related party transaction as the Lenders are holders of a portion of the Company’s 13% Notes that were issued on January 31, 2019.

 

Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. The Credit Agreement matures on March 20, 2022.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Egalet US Inc. and Egalet Ltd. (collectively, the “Guarantors”). As security for the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and other secured parties, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible personal property (other than certain specified excluded assets), including proceeds and accounts related to this property and the capital stock of the Guarantors, pursuant to the terms of that certain Collateral Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Collateral Agreement”), among the Company and the Guarantors in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and other secured parties. The Credit Agreement will (i) be equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company, (ii) be senior in right of payment to the obligations of the Company pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2019 (the “Indenture”), among the

22


 

Table of Contents

Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, and (iii) be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

 

The Company may terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, subject to a termination fee equal to (x) 1.0% from the Closing Date through March 20, 2020 and (y) 0.50% from March 20, 2020 through March 20, 2021.

 

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries must also comply with certain customary affirmative covenants, such as furnishing financial statements to the Lenders, and negative covenants, including limitations on the following: incurring debt; issuing preferred and/or disqualified stock; paying dividends, repurchasing shares and, under certain conditions, making certain other restricted payments; prepaying, redeeming or purchasing subordinated debt; conducting a merger or consolidation involving the Company; engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; disposing of assets under certain circumstances; and making certain investments, in each case, other than those permitted by the Credit Agreement. In addition, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2019, the Company must maintain a minimum level of consolidated liquidity, based on unrestricted cash on hand and availability under any revolving credit facility, equal to the greater of (1) the quotient of the outstanding principal amount of the senior secured notes issued pursuant to the Indenture divided by 9.5 and (2) $7,500,000.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (including the Company’s failure to make any payment of principal or interest when due and payable, the failure to comply with the minimum consolidated liquidity covenant or other covenants described above, or upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement)), and, upon such events of default occurring and continuing, the Lenders may accelerate the loans.  In the event of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or its subsidiaries, the obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become due and payable. With respect to any event of default due to the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant (described above), the Company may, within ten business days, cure such default through the issuance of equity securities, subordinated debt securities or certain other capital contributions.

 

On the Closing Date and in connection with its entry into of the Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors entered into the Collateral Agreement, which granted a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, in each case subject to certain existing liens and other exclusions.

 

Interim Promissory Note

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a $4.5 million promissory note to an affiliate of Iroko in respect of certain inventory purchases by Iroko as a part of the Iroko Products Acquisition (the “Interim Promissory Note”). The Interim Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum (payable by way of increasing the principal amount of the Interim Promissory Note on each interest payment date) and matures on July 31, 2020.

Predecessor Company Debt

 

Former 13% Senior Secured Notes

 

In August 2016 and January 2017, the Company issued a total of $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes (the “former 13% Notes”). The former 13% Notes were sold only to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The former 13% Notes were senior secured obligations of the Company and equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company (including the 5.50% Notes), were senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, had the benefit of a security interest in the Notes collateral and are junior in lien priority in respect of any collateral that secures any first priority lien obligations incurred, which includes intellectual property, from time to time in accordance with the indenture governing the former 13% Notes.

 

On the Effective Date, in addition to the cash settlement of $20.0 million, the outstanding 13% Notes were converted into the number of shares of common stock of the Company (or Warrants) representing, in the aggregate, 19.4% of the shares outstanding as of the Effective Date and the issuance of the Series A-1 Notes of $50.0 million.  As of December 31, 2018, a total of $80.0 million in principal amount of the former 13% Notes remained outstanding. Refer to Note 3 – Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

 

Former 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes

 

In April and May 2015, the Company issued through a private placement $61.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.50%  Convertible Senior Notes (the “5.50% Notes”). 

 

The 5.50% Notes were general, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and ranked senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness that was expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 5.50% Notes.  The 5.50% Notes were effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

 

On the Effective Date, the outstanding 5.50% Notes were cancelled and the 5.50% noteholders received shares of common stock of the Successor Company (or warrants) representing, in the aggregate, 16.1 % of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the Effective Date.  As of March 31, 2019, the 5.50% Notes were no longer outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, a total of $24.7 million in principal amount of the 5.50% Notes remained outstanding.  Refer to Note 3 – Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

 

Former 6.50% Convertible Notes

 

In December 2017, the Company entered into exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s 5.50% Notes pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exchange, in the aggregate, approximately $36.4 million of outstanding principal amount of the 5.50% Notes for, in the aggregate, (i)

24


 

Table of Contents

approximately $23.9 million of 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “6.50% Notes”) issued by the Company, (ii) a warrant exercisable for 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and (iii) payments, in cash, of all accrued but unpaid interest as of the closing on the 5.50% Notes exchanged in the transaction (the “Exchange”).  At the closing of the Exchange, 2,500,000 warrants were exercised.  The remaining 1,000,000 warrants were exercised in January 2018.

 

On the Effective Date, the outstanding 6.50% Notes were cancelled and the 6.50% noteholders received shares of common stock of the Successor Company (or warrants) representing, in the aggregate, 15.5% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the Effective Date.  As of March 31, 2019, the 6.50% Notes were no longer outstanding.  As of December 31, 2018, a total of $23.9 million in principal amount of the 6.50% Notes remained outstanding. Refer to Note 3 – Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

 

10. Leases

 

The Company leases office space, vehicles and office equipment under operating lease arrangements. The leases have initial lease terms ranging from one to five years. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal options to extend the lease, which if the Company determined it is reasonably certain to exercise, that renewal option would be included in the total lease term.

 

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the Company the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: (1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment), and (2) the Company has the right to control the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset.

 

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases where the Company is the lessee are included in ROU assets, Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determined the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) it uses to present value the unpaid lease payments, the lease term and lease payments.

 

ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its IBR. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore, management uses its IBR based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease asset or liabilities comprised of fixed payments. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company recognizes lease expense associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

Successor

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Successor Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par values of $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2019, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

The Successor Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2019, there were 9,360,968 shares issued and outstanding. Outstanding shares were issued to holders of Predecessor first lien obligations and convertible notes claims of 4,774,093 shares and Iroko and its affiliates of 4,586,875 shares.

 

Amended and Restated Charter and Bylaws

 

On February 1, 2019, in accordance with the Plan, the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and restated, the “A&R Charter”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, at which time the A&R Charter became effective.  Among other things, the A&R Charter decreases the

number of shares of authorized common stock of the Company from 275,000,000 to 100,000,000 and decreases the maximum number of directors that may serve on the Board to seven.

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “A&R Bylaws”) became effective. Among other things, the A&R Bylaws provide for special director nomination procedures, related party transaction approval procedures and independence requirements with respect to certain directors appointed by the Supporting Noteholders pursuant to the Plan (or such directors successors), in each case, for a two-year period following the Effective Date.

 

Stockholders’ Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a stockholders’ agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) with Iroko and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, Iroko and the other stockholder parties have agreed to a customary lock-up with respect to their shares of common stock for a period of 90 days following the Effective Date and a customary standstill provision for a period of 24 months following the Effective Date, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the stockholder parties are entitled to designate two nominees to the Company’s board of directors for so long as such entities hold 25% of the equity consideration received on the Effective Date. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for customary preemptive rights in favor of the stockholder parties with respect to future issuance of equity securities by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

Warrant Agreements

 

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into warrant agreements (the “Warrant Agreements”) with Iroko, certain of Iroko’s affiliates and certain other parties entitled to receive shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or in satisfaction of certain claims pursuant to the Plan. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreements, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,972,365 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, subject to certain ownership limitations including, with respect to Iroko and its affiliates, that no such exercise may increase the aggregate ownership of such parties above 49% of the number of shares of its common stock then outstanding for a period of 18 months.  All of the Company’s outstanding warrants have similar terms whereas under no circumstance may the warrants be net-cash settled. As such, all warrants are equity-classified.

 

Predecessor

 

In connection with the Company’s Plan of Reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy, all equity interests in the Predecessor Company were cancelled, including common stock and equity-based awards.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Iroko pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC, upon Iroko’s request at any time following the date which is 180 days following the date on which any equity securities of the Company are accepted for listing on any national securities exchange, a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and thereafter to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as promptly as practicable, one or more registration statements for the offer and resale of the Company’s common stock held by Iroko and certain of its affiliates. The Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions with respect to blackout periods, underwrite cutbacks, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification.

 

12. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance in ASC 820 outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. In determining fair value, the Company maximizes the use of quoted prices and observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

 

·

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

 

·

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and models that are significant to the overall fair value m easurement.

 

Cash equivalents  - Cash equivalents primarily consisted of money market funds with overnight liquidity and no stated maturities. The Company classified cash equivalents as Level 1, due to their short-term maturity, and measured the fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration  - As of March 31, 2019, the Company had obligations to make contingent payment consideration for future royalties to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million . Pursuant to the Iroko Products Acquisition, the Company recorded the acquisition-date fair value of these contingent

28


 

Table of Contents

liabilities, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting date.  The Company classified the acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities to be settled in cash as Level 3, due to the lack of relevant observable inputs and market activity. Changes in assumptions described above could have an impact on the payout of contingent consideration.

 

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis :

13. Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

 

On the Effective Date the Predecessor Company's equity was cancelled and new equity was issued. Additionally, the Predecessor Company's 5.50% and 6.50% Convertible Notes were cancelled. See Note 11 – Stockholders' Equity and Note 16 – Reorganization Items for further details.

 

Basic net loss per common share excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. 4,972,364 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants “penny warrants” are included in the number of outstanding shares used for the computation of basic and diluted loss per share.

14. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Successor

 

2019 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan

 

In March 2019, the Company adopted its 2019 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Stock Plan”) for the benefit of employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  The 2019 Stock Plan is designed to attract and retain valued employees, consultants and non-employee directors by offering them a greater stake in the Company’s success and a closer identity with it, and to encourage ownership of the Company’s stock by such persons.  Under the 2019 Stock Plan, 2,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance, including 1,433,333 shares reserved for grants to executives and 716,667 shares reserved for persons other than executives, subject to equitable adjustment based on the effect of certain corporate transactions.  The Stock Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).  In the discretion of the committee, the right of a 2019 Stock Plan participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to performance goals as may be specified by the committee.  Awards granted to executives that are forfeited or otherwise terminate will once again be available for issuance to executives under the 2019 Stock Plan.  Similarly, awards granted to persons other than executives that are forfeited or otherwise terminate will once again be available for issuance to persons who are not executives under the Stock Plan.  Any award granted under the 2019 Stock Plan, including a common stock award, will be subject to mandatory repayment by the participant to the Company pursuant to the terms of any “clawback” or recoupment policy that is directly applicable to the 2019 Stock Plan and set forth in an award agreement or as required by applicable law.

 

For restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements, stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.  All of the restricted stock awards and restricted stock units reflected above vest based on performance conditions or over time as stipulated in the individual award agreements. In the event of a change in control, the unvested awards will be accelerated and fully vested immediately prior to the change in control.

 

On March 26, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company granted 511,000 time-based RSUs and 509,000 performance-based RSUs to certain executive officers of the Company.  367,000 of the time-based RSUs vest ratably over three years. 144,000 of the time-based RSUs vest 100% on the first anniversary of the date of grant.   367,000 of the performance-based RSUs are eligible to vest as follows: a maximum of 50% are eligible to vest on each of March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021 (provided that at least 75% of the Company’s 2019 Corporate Goals are attained  — ratably, between 75% and 100% attainment).   142,000 of the performance-based RSUs are scheduled to vest as follows: a

30


 

Table of Contents

maximum of 100% are eligible to vest on March 1, 2020 (provided that at least 75% of the Company’s 2019 Corporate Goals are attained - ratably, between 75% and 100% attainment).

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the compensation cost for the March 2019 Grant.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $60,000 in the Successor period February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019.

 

As of March 31, 2019, there was $6.1 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to restricted stock units under the 2019 Plan.

 

Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

 

Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2019 Stock Plan will be awarded pursuant to a time-based restricted stock unit agreement with the Company. On March 26, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a form of time-based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Time RSU Agreement”).  The Time RSU Agreement provides for grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with two potential vesting schedules: (i) 1/3 of the RSUs vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant; and (ii) 100% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, in each case subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary date.  In the event of a change of control (as defined in the 2019 Stock Plan) prior to a termination of the participant’s service, any remaining unvested time-based RSUs will vest and be settled immediately prior to the change of control.  Participants holding time-based RSUs will be entitled to receive the benefit of any dividends paid on shares in the form of additional RSUs, the number of which will be determined by a formula set forth in the Time RSU Agreement.

 

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

 

Performance-based RSUs granted under the 2019 Stock Plan will be awarded pursuant to a performance-based restricted stock unit agreement with the Company. On March 26, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a form of performance-based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Performance RSU Agreement”). The Performance RSU Agreement provides for grants of RSUs, which only vest if the Company achieves at least 75% of its 2019 Corporate Goals, as set by the Board in March 2019, with the exact number of performance-based RSUs vesting pro-rated based on the level of achievement between 75% and 100%.  2019 Corporate Goals include financial performance, business development goals and other corporate metrics.  Assuming those parameters are satisfied, the performance-based RSUs have two potential issuance schedules: (i) one with 50% of the performance-based RSUs eligible for issuance on each of March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021 and (ii) one with 100% of the performance-based RSUs eligible for issuance on March 1, 2020, in each case subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary date.  In the event of a change of control (as defined in the 2019 Stock Plan) prior to a termination of the participant’s service, any remaining unvested performance-based RSUs will vest and be settled immediately prior to the change of control. Participants holding performance-based RSUs will be entitled to receive the benefit of any dividends paid on shares in the form of additional restricted stock units, the number of which will be determined by a formula set forth in the Performance RSU Agreement.

Table of Contents

Predecessor

 

The Predecessor Company’s common stock was cancelled and new common stock was issued on the Effective Date.  Accordingly, the Predecessor Company’s then existing stock-based compensation awards were also cancelled, which resulted in the recognition of any previously unamortized expense on the date of cancellation.  Stock-based compensation for the Successor and Predecessor periods are not comparable.

 

The Predecessor Company had granted stock-based awards that were cancelled upon emergence from bankruptcy. In conjunction with the cancellation, the Predecessor Company accelerated the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense and recorded $4.1 million of compensation expense in the period from January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On January 27, 2017 and February 10, 2017, respectively, two putative securities class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania that named as defendants Egalet Corporation and current officer Robert S. Radie and former officers Stanley J. Musial and Jeffrey M. Dayno (the “Officer Defendants” and together with Egalet Corporation, the “Defendants”). These two complaints, captioned Mineff v. Egalet Corp. et al., No. 2:17-cv-00390-MMB and Klein v. Egalet Corp. et al., No. 2:17-cv-00617-MMB, assert securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) on behalf of putative classes of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Egalet Corporation securities between December 15, 2015 and January 9, 2017 and seek damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other expenses.  On May 1, 2017, the Court entered an order consolidating the two cases (the “Securities Class Action Litigation”) before it, appointing the Egalet Investor Group (consisting of Joseph Spizzirri, Abdul Rahiman and Kyle Kobold) as lead plaintiff and approving their selection of lead and liaison counsel.  On July 3, 2017, the plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint, which named the same Defendants and also asserted claims for purported violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.  Plaintiffs brought their claims individually and on behalf of a putative class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Egalet between November 4, 2015 and January 9, 2017 inclusive.  The consolidated amended complaint based its claims on allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or failures to disclose information about the likelihood that ARYMO ER would be approved for intranasal abuse-deterrent labeling.  The Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on September 1, 2017 (the “Motion to Dismiss”), the plaintiffs filed their opposition on October 31, 2017, and the Defendants filed their reply on December 8, 2017.  The Court heard oral arguments on the Motion to Dismiss on February 20, 2018 and entered an order pursuant to which the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on March 6, 2018.  The Defendants responded on March 20, 2018 and the plaintiffs filed their reply on March 27, 2018.  The Court heard oral arguments on the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on July 12, 2018.  On August 2, 2018, the Court granted the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the Securities Class Action Litigation with prejudice.  On August 31, 2018, plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeal for the Third Circuit.  On November 7, 2018, the Defendants filed a notice of suggestion of bankruptcy and unopposed motion to stay the appeal as to the Officer Defendants (the appeal was automatically stayed as to the Company upon the Chapter 11 filing).  On February 6, 2019, the Officer Defendants filed a Notice of Lifting of Automatic Stay of Proceedings and Discharge of Subordinated Claims, as plaintiffs’ claim against us was extinguished as part of the bankruptcy, which restarted the appellate process.  On April 22, 2019, plaintiffs filed their brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and intend to defend these actions vigorously.  The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from these lawsuits.

 

On May 1, 2019, the Company was served in a lawsuit entitled International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 728 Family Healthcare Plan v. Allergan, PLC, et al., which was filed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas on March 29, 2019 in which the Company was named as a defendant.  In the lawsuit, plaintiff alleges that the Company, along with numerous other named defendants, manufactured, promoted, sold and distributed branded and generic opioid pharmaceutical products in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Florida and the City of Philadelphia.  Plaintiffs assert that the defendants’ conduct has exacted a financial burden on the plaintiff which has unnecessarily spent considerably more on costs directly attributable to opioid use and over-use in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and City of Philadelphia.   The Company disputes the allegations made in this lawsuit and intends to defend these actions vigorously.  The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

 

In January 2017, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lupin Limited (together “Lupin”) notified iCeutica Pty Ltd. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC that Lupin had submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) to United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) requesting permission to manufacture and market a generic version of VIVLODEX® (meloxicam). In the notice, Lupin alleges that U.S. Patent No. 9,526,734 covering meloxicam is invalid as obvious and that Lupin’s generic product will not infringe any claim of the patent. On February 10, 2017, Plaintiffs iCeutica Pty Ltd. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC filed a complaint in the District Court for the District of Maryland alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,526,734 by Lupin under 35 U.S.C. sections 271(e)(2) and 271(a)-(b).  On

June 5, 2017, Lupin sent a second notice alleging that U.S. Patent No. 9,649,318 was invalid and not infringed. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734 and 9,649,318 by the Lupin defendants under 35 U.S.C. sections 271(e)(2) and 271(a)-(b) on July 7, 2017.  On February 1, 2018, the district court granted Lupin’s motion for summary judgment on non-infringement and dismissed Plaintiffs’ amended complaint.  Plaintiffs filed a timely notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and filed their opening brief on July 13, 2018.  Lupin filed its answering brief on October 22, 2018 and Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on January 4, 2019.  With the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Iroko and the assignment of Iroko’s exclusive license to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734; 9,526,734; and 9,649,318 to the Company, Egalet has been substituted for Iroko as a Plaintiff in this matter.  The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

 

In March 2018, Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) notified iCeutica Pty Ltd. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC that Novitium had submitted an ANDA to FDA requesting permission to manufacture and market a generic version of VIVLODEX® (meloxicam).  In the notice, Novitium alleges that its generic product will not infringe any claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734; 9,526,734; and 9,649,318.  On April 20, 2018, Plaintiffs iCeutica Pty Ltd and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC filed a complaint in the District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of United States Patent Nos. 9,526,734, 9,649,318, and 9,808,468 by Novitium under 35 U.S.C. sections 271(e)(2) and 271(a)-(c).  With the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Iroko and the assignment of Iroko’s exclusive license to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734; 9,526,734; and 9,649,318 to the Company, Egalet has been substituted for Iroko as a Plaintiff in this matter.  The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company filed the Bankruptcy Petitions in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  The Company requested that the Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) be jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re Egalet Corporation, et al., Case No. 18-12439. Upon filing, the Company intended to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Company continued ordinary course operations substantially uninterrupted during the Chapter 11 Cases and sought approval from the Bankruptcy Court for relief under certain “first day” motions authorizing the Debtors to continue to conduct its business in the ordinary course. On January 14, 2019, the Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, and substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Iroko Products Acquisition, the Plan became effective.  On March 26, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases. 

 

18. Acquisitions and License and Collaboration Agreements

 

Purchase Agreement with Iroko

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Iroko pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company acquired certain assets and rights of Iroko, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as the “Transferred Assets,” and assumed certain liabilities of Iroko, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as the “Assumed Liabilities,” including assets related to Iroko’s marketed products, the SOLUMATRIX products under the iCeutica License Agreement and the INDOCIN products. The Iroko Products Acquisition was completed on January 31, 2019.

 

iCeutica License Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company assumed the rights and obligations of Iroko and its subsidiaries pursuant to the Amended and Restated Nano-Reformulated Compound License Agreement, dated October 30, 2018 (the “iCeutica License”), with iCeutica Inc. and iCeutica Pty Ltd. (collectively, “iCeutica”) to license certain technology, intellectual property and expertise related to iCeutica’s SOLUMATRIX ® technology, meloxicam and certain other rights of iCeutica.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the iCeutica License, iCeutica granted to the Company (as the assignee of Iroko) a sole and exclusive, world-wide right and license under certain iCeutica intellectual property to make, use, sell, offer and import certain products made from the compounds indomethacin, diclofenac, naproxen and meloxicam.  In consideration of the grant of the iCeutica License, the Company is obligated to pay to iCeutica a mid-single digit royalty on all Net Sales of any licensed products, including pro rata portions of any combination products that include a licensed product.

 

The iCeutica License will terminate on a country-by-country basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire of any patent rights in such country, and otherwise twenty years after the date of the first commercial introduction of a licensed product in such country.  Either party may terminate the license in its entirety if the other party materially breaches the License Agreement, subject to applicable cure periods.  The iCeutica License also contains customary provisions for an agreement of this type related to intellectual property matters, confidentiality, representations and warranties and indemnification.

 

Iroko Royalty Arrangement

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company is also obligated to pay to Iroko a 5% royalty payment on Net Sales of TIVORBEX, ZORVOLEX and the development product acquired on a quarterly basis.

 

Collaboration and License Agreement with Acura

 

In January 2015, the Company entered into the OXAYDO License Agreement with Acura to commercialize OXAYDO tablets containing Acura’s Aversion Technology. OXAYDO (formerly known as Oxecta®) is currently approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States. in 5 mg and 7.5 mg strengths, but was not actively marketed at the time of the OXAYDO License Agreement. Under the terms of the OXAYDO License Agreement, Acura transferred the approved New Drug Application (“NDA”) for OXAYDO to the Company and the Company was granted an exclusive license under Acura’s intellectual property rights for development and commercialization of OXAYDO worldwide in all strengths.

 

Under the OXAYDO License Agreement, Acura will be entitled to a one-time $12.5 million milestone payment when OXAYDO net sales reach a level of $150.0 million in a calendar year.

 

In addition, Acura receives from the Company, a tiered royalty percentage based on sales thresholds.  Based on the Company’s current level of net sales, the royalty percentage payable to Acura is in the mid-single digits; however, the percentage may increase in future years in the event the Company achieves the higher sales thresholds set forth in the License Agreement.   In addition, in any calendar year in which net sales exceed a specified threshold, Acura is entitled receive a double-digit royalty on all OXAYDO net sales in that year. The Company’s royalty payment obligations commenced on the first commercial sale of OXAYDO and expire, on a country-by-country basis, upon the expiration of the last to expire valid patent claim covering OXAYDO in such country (or if there are no patent claims in such country, then upon the expiration of the last valid claim in the U.S.).  Royalties will be reduced upon the entry of generic equivalents, as well for payments required to be made by the Company to acquire intellectual property rights to commercialize OXAYDO, with an aggregate minimum floor.  The term of the Acura license agreement expires, in its entirety, upon the final expiration of any such patent claim in any country. OXAYDO is currently sold in the United States and is covered by six U.S. patents that expire between 2023 and 2025. Patents covering OXAYDO in foreign jurisdictions expire in 2024.  Either the Company or Acura may terminate the license agreement for certain customary reasons, including cause, insolvency or patent challenge. The Company may terminate the license agreement upon 90 days prior written notice.

 

Purchase Agreement with Luitpold

 

In January 2015, the Company entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by the SPRIX Purchase Agreement with Luitpold (the “SPRIX Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities associated with SPRIX Nasal Spray, the Company was assigned an exclusive license with Recordati Ireland Ltd. (“Recordati”) for intranasal formulations of ketorolac tromethamine (the “Licensed Product”), the

Table of Contents

active ingredient in SPRIX Nasal Spray.  The Company is required to pay a fixed, single-digit royalty to Recordati on net sales of the Licensed Product.  The exclusive term of the license agreement expires, on a country-by-country basis, on the later of the final expiration of any patent right in such country that contains a valid claim covering the Licensed Product, or ten years from the date of the first commercial sale of the Licensed Product in such country, and thereafter the Company will retain a non-exclusive, perpetual license in such country. In addition, during the exclusivity period with respect to the United States, Canada and Latin America, the royalty payable to Recordati is decreased if no patent containing a valid claim is in force in the country at the time of sale.  SPRIX Nasal Spray is currently sold in the United States and the patent expired in December 2018 and the first commercial sale of SPRIX Nasal Spray in the United States occurred in May 2011.

 

 

19. Income Taxes

 

The Company had a deferred tax liability of $24,000 as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively . The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets for federal and foreign purposes except for the net deferred tax liability as management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize these future tax benefits.

 

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), enacted on December 22, 2017, became effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act had significant changes to U.S. tax law, including the lowering of U.S. corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and modified the taxation of other income and expense items.  Due to the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, these provisions do not have any material impact on the Company.

 

The Tax Act contains additional international provisions which may impact the Company prospectively, including the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income.   The Company does not believe the impact will be material given the historical losses in its international subsidiary and projected future losses.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Our Current Business

 

We are a commercial-stage life sciences company focused on developing and marketing treatments for patients and healthcare providers. Egalet currently has a portfolio of innovative treatments for different types of pain and inflammation. We have seven commercially available products: SPRIX ® (ketorolac tromethamine) Nasal Spray,

37


 

Table of Contents

ZORVOLEX ®   (diclofenac), VIVLODEX ®   (meloxicam), TIVORBEX ®  (indomethacin), INDOCIN ®  (indomethacin) suppositories, INDOCIN ® oral suspension and OXAYDO ® (oxycodone HCI, USP) tablets for oral use only —CII. To augment our current product portfolio, we are seeking to acquire additional product candidates or approved products.

 

Since we acquired and licensed SPRIX Nasal Spray and OXAYDO, respectively, we have built a fully scaled commercial organization focused on educating providers taking care of individuals with pain and inflammation. As the market demonstrated a greater appetite for non-narcotics, we increased our focus on the promotion of our NSAID SPRIX Nasal Spray. We acquired the Iroko products not only because they are NSAIDs, but because they can be promoted with our existing salesforce with little additional expense. Prior to our acquisition of the five Iroko products, we had over 80 territories focused on similar targets. We added additional geographies where the Iroko products had been previously marketed. With our dedicated employee sales force, we can cover 99 percent of existing SPRIX targets and 98 percent of existing ZORVOLEX targets. Our 87 sales representatives promote our products to approximately 8,000 healthcare providers in the United States. We believe that our focused targeting, sales force execution, proper brand positioning, message delivery and education, as well as our focus on ensuring proper product access to patients who require our therapies, will help us achieve our promotional goals. As part of our commercial strategy, we are working to enhance patient access to our products where possible through minimizing co-pays, increasing availability of our products in pharmacies and, in some cases, providing more access to product samples. We believe we can significantly increase our potential annual revenue for approximately the same operating expense.

 

While our current focus is on our commercial products, we are seeking to acquire product candidates or approved products that we can develop and/or market. We plan to grow our business through our commercial revenue and potential business development opportunities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as discussed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on March 29, 2019, other than as noted below.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the reorganization equity value over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets pursuant to ASC 852 Reorganizations . Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of net assets are below their carrying amounts. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. Our operations are currently comprised of a single, entity wide reporting unit.

 

We determined that no events have occurred or circumstances changed during the period from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 (Predecessor) that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of our reporting units below their respective carrying amounts. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration 

 

Pursuant to the Iroko Products Acquisition, we have obligations relating to contingent payment consideration for future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million . We recorded the acquisition-date fair value of these contingent liabilities, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting date.  The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The royalty term commenced on the Effective Date and ends on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, January 31, 2029.

Net product sales

 

Net product sales increased by $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.  Net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of $5.2 million for SPRIX Nasal Spray, $1.1 million for OXAYDO, $3.8 million for the SOLUMATRIX products and $7.5 million for INDOCIN products.  Net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 consisted of $4.8 million for SPRIX Nasal Spray, $1.3 million for OXAYDO and $187,000 for ARYMO ER.

 

Cost of sales (excluding amortization of product rights)

 

Cost of sales (excluding amortization of product rights) increased by $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray and OXAYDO reflect the average cost of inventory shipped to wholesalers and specialty pharmaceutical companies from January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019.  Cost of sales for SPRIX

Table of Contents

Nasal Spray, OXAYDO, SOLUMATRIX products and INDOCIN products reflects the fair value of finished goods inventory for the period from February 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019.

 

Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray, OXAYDO and ARYMO ER for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflects the average cost of inventory shipped to wholesalers and specialty pharmaceutical companies during the period. There was a charge related to the minimum manufacturing requirements for ARYMO ER of $634,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018

 

Amortization of product rights

 

Amortization of product rights increased by $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.  Amortization of product rights relates to the INDOCIN, OXAYDO and SPRIX Nasal Spray intangible assets. The increase was due to the acquisition on January 31, 2019 of the INDOCIN product rights that were valued at $90.1 million and the increase in the value of the SPRIX Nasal Spray intangible assets to $31.9 million, offset in part by a decrease in the value of OXAYDO, as a result of a Fresh Start Accounting adjustment.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million, an increase in regulatory fees related to the acquisition of the SOLUMATRIX and INDOCIN products of $373,000. We recognized $3.5 million of unamortized stock-based compensation on January 31, 2019 as a result of the reorganization. These expenses were offset by a decrease in ARYMO ER and OXAYDO post-marketing study fees of $687,000, a decrease in salary expense of $503,000 due to reduced headcount and a decrease in other administrative expenses of $120,000.

 

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to an $817,000 decrease in marketing expenses as a result of the discontinuation of promotion of ARYMO ER in September 2018 and a $293,000 decrease in other sales and marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.  This decrease was driven by a discontinuation of operating expenses that did not directly support the growth of our commercial business.

 

Restructuring and other charges

 

Restructuring and other charges of $799,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 reflect costs related to our reduction in force in our Denmark facility in January 2019. There were no restructuring charges in the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

 

Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration

 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists of our future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million, was recorded on the acquisition date, January 31, 2019, at the estimated fair value of the obligation, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured quarterly. The change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration for the period from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 was $200,000. The change in fair

40


 

Table of Contents

value of the contingent consideration for the period from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 was due primarily to the passage of time as there were no other significant changes in the key assumptions during the periods.

 

Change in fair value of warrant and derivative liability

 

The interest make-whole provisions of the 6.50% Notes, as well as the warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in our July 2017 equity offering are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date.  Refer to Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements for further details.  We recognize any change in fair value in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a change in fair value of the derivative liabilities.   During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized a change in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $5.1 million. The 6.50% Notes were cancelled as a part of the reorganization.

 

Interest expense

 

The decrease of $1.4 million was driven primarily by the cancellation of the 5.50% Convertible Notes and 6.50% Convertible Notes as a result of our Chapter 11 filing.

 

The interest expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount totaling $1.2 million.  The interest expense of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 includes non-cash interest of and amortization of debt discount totaling $449,000.

 

Reorganization items

 

Reorganization items of $114.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of a gain on the revaluation of assets and liabilities of $91.2 million, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $30.0 million and fees of $6.6 million related to the bankruptcy and Iroko Acquisition.

 

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

 

We had no provision nor benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or March 31, 2018 since we have been in a full valuation allowance for federal and state purposes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the period from February 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019 was $16.4 million and consisted primarily of a net loss of $10.5 million.  The net loss was partially offset by $2.5 million in depreciation and amortization expense. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $9.6 million consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $35.8 million, offset by decrease in inventory of $10.6 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $12.1 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 was $822,000 and consisted primarily of net income of $107.2 million. In addition to net income, there were reorganization items of $121.1 million. Net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $10.4 million primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.9 million, a decrease in other receivables of $711,000 and a decrease in accrued expenses of $5.2 million.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $20.7 million and included a net loss of $12.4 million.  Net non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operations were $2.5 million, and included $5.1 million in change in fair value of our derivative liability, partially offset by depreciation and amortization expense of $1.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $952,000 and non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount of $496,000. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $5.8 million consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $11.2 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $4.0 million.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities was $19.1 million for the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 and consisted of repayments to former 13% Noteholders.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and consisted of $4.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our at-the-market offering and employee stock purchase plan.

 

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

 

We have not achieved profitability since our inception and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, sales and marketing expenses, commercial infrastructure, legal and other regulatory expense, business development opportunities and general overhead costs, including interest and principal repayments on indebtedness.

   

To date, we have been unable to achieve profitability, and with just our existing products and product candidates, we believe we are unlikely to achieve profitability in the future.

 

Until such time if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings and collaboration arrangements. In order to meet these additional cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or convertible debt securities that may result in dilution to our holders of our Successor Egalet common stock. The indenture governing the 13% Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to issue additional indebtedness.  Although our ability to issue additional indebtedness is significantly limited by such covenants, if we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those of our Successor Egalet common stock and could contain covenants that restrict our operations.  We may also seek to raise additional financing through the issuance of debt which, if available and permitted pursuant to the documents governing the 13% Senior Secured Notes and any other indebtedness we may incur in the future, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants limiting our ability to take important actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.  If we raise additional funds through collaboration arrangements in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.  In addition, certain agreements we entered into in connection with the consummation of the Iroko Products Acquisition and the Chapter 11 Cases further restrict and limit our ability to raise additional capital, including agreements with respect to pre-emptive rights. Accordingly, our ability to raise additional capital is restricted by these agreements as well.

 

Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $10.8 million. Even though we have emerged from bankruptcy and have funds available under the Credit Agreement with Highbridge, we continue to have significant indebtedness and our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful integration of the Iroko Products Acquisition, increasing our revenue, managing our expenses and complying with the terms of our new debt agreements.  We cannot be certain that these initiatives will be successful.

 

Our current debt arrangements with holders of the Series A-1 and Series A-2 Notes as well as the Credit Agreement with Highbridge involve agreements that include minimum liquidity requirements and covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with pharmaceutical partners, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2019 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our

uncertain ability to successfully integrate the Iroko Products into our business, increasing our revenue, managing our expenses and complying with the terms of our new debt agreements. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On January 31, 2019, we issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 13% senior secured notes, designated as Series A-1 Notes, to former holders of First Lien Secured Notes Claims. The Series A-1 Notes are subject to an interest holiday from January 31, 2019 through November 1, 2019. Interest on the Series A-1 notes accrues at a rate of 13% per annum, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November of each year, commencing on May 1, 2019, subject to the interest holiday referred to above.  The stated maturity date of the Series A-1 Notes is January 31, 2024.

On January 31, 2019, pursuant to the Iroko Products Purchase Agreement, we issued a $4.5 million promissory note to an affiliate of Iroko in respect of certain inventory purchases by Iroko as a result of the Iroko Products Acquisition (the “Interim Promissory Note”). The Interim Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum (payable by way of increasing the principal amount of the Interim Promissory Note on each interest payment date), is subordinate to the Notes, and matures on July 31, 2020.

 

(5)

On March 20, 2019, (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities as administrative agent and collateral agent certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as lenders, which Credit Agreement consists of a $20.0 million revolving line of credit. We drew $5.0 million on the Closing Date and must maintain at least 25% of the commitment amount outstanding at all times.  Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. The Credit Agreement matures on March 20, 2022.

and supply of INDOCIN Suppositories to Egalet for commercial distribution in the United States.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

 

JOBS Act

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, we can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are electing not to delay our adoption of such new or revised accounting standards. As a result of this election, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

The tiered Price and annual stability Price for the Products for the first Year are listed in Schedules B and  C  and are subject to the adjustments set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

4. 2         Price Adjustments -  Subsequent Years' Pricing.

After the first Year of the Agreement, Patheon may adjust the Price effective January 1sL of each Year as follows:

(a)          Manufacturing Costs. Patheon may adjust the Price for inflation, based upon the preliminary number for any change in the Producer Price Index pcu325412325412 for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (“PPl”) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics in August of the preceding Year compared to the final number for the same month of the Year prior to that, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the calculation for the inflation adjustment to be applied in calculating the Price for the next Year.

(b)          Component Costs. If Patheon incurs an increase or decrease in Component costs during the Year, it may adjust the Price for the next Year to pass through the change in the Component costs. On or about November 1st of each Year, Patheon will give Client information about the change in Component costs which will be applied to the calculation of the Price for the next Year to reasonably demonstrate that the Price adjustment is justified. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that Is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers.

(c)           Pricing Basis. Client acknowledges that the Price in any Year is quoted based upon the Minimum Run Quantity and the price tiers specified in Schedule B .

For greater certainty, If Patheon and Client agree that the Minimum Run Quantity will be reduced or the minimum Annual Volume in the lowest tier will not be ordered in a Year whether as a result of a decrease in estimated annual  volume  or  otherwise  and, as a result  of  the  reduction, Patheon  demonstrates  to Client that  its  costs to perform the Manufacturing Services and to acquire the Materials  for  the  Product will increase  on  a per unit basis (including the amount of the increase),  then Patheon may increase the Price by an amount sufficient to absorb the  documented increased costs. On or about November 1 of each Year, Patheon will give Client a statement setting forth the information to be applied in calculating those cost increases for the next Year. But Patheon will not be required to give information to Client that is subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its   suppliers.

(d)          Adjustments Due to Currency Fluctuations. Patheon will adjust the Price for all Product that Is manufactured outside the United States or Puerto Rico to reflect currency fluctuations. The adjustment will be calculated after all other annual Price adjustments under this Section 4.2 have been made. The adjustment will proportionately reflect the increase or decrease, If any, in the Set Exchange Rate compared to the Set Exchange Rate established for the prior Year or the Initial Set Exchange Rate, as the case may be. An example of the calculation of the price adjustment Is set forth in Schedule G .  

8


 

 

For all Price adjustments under this Section 4.2, Patheon will deliver to Client on or about November 1st of each Year a revised Schedule B to be effective for the next Year.

4. 3         Price Adjustments -   Current Year Pricing.

During any Year of this Agreement, the Prices will be adjusted as follows:

Extraordinary Changes jn Component Costs. If, at any time, market conditions result in Patheon's cost of Components being materially different than normal forecasted changes, then Patheon or Client will be entitled to an adjustment to the Price for any affected Product to compensate It for the change in Component costs. Changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases will have occurred if: (i) the cost of a Component changes by [****] of the cost for that Component upon which the most recent fee quote was based; or (II) the aggregate cost for all Components required to manufacture a Product changes by [****] of the total Component costs for the Product upon which the most recent fee quote was based. If Component costs have been previously adjusted to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments set out in (I) and (ii) above will operate based on the last cost adjustment for the Components.

For a Price adjustment under this Section 4.3, Patheon will deliver to Client a revised Schedule B and budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documents reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that a Price adjustment is justified. Patheon will have no obligation to deliver any supporting documents that are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers. The revised Price will be effective for any Product delivered on or after the first day of the month following Client's receipt of the revised Schedule B.

4. 4         Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.

Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by Client will only be implemented following a technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to Client and Patheon reaching agreement on Price changes required because of the amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement or the Manufacturing Site requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, the approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If Client accepts a proposed Price change, the proposed change in the Specifications will be implemented, and the Price change will become effective, only for those orders of Products that are manufactured under the revised Specifications. In addition, Client agrees to purchase, at Patheon's cost (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Inventory), all Inventory used under the “old" Specifications and purchased or maintained by Patheon in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2, if the Inventory can no longer be used under the revised Specifications. Open purchase orders for Components no longer required under any revised Specifications that were placed by Patheon with suppliers in order to fill Firm Orders or under Section 5.2 will be cancelled where possible, and If the orders may not be cancelled without penalty, will be assigned to and satisfied by    Client.

ORDERS, SHIPMENT, INVOICING, PAYMENT

5. 1         Orders and Forecasts .

(a)          Rolling 18 Month Forecast. When this Agreement is executed, Client will give Patheon a non-binding 1B month Forecast of the volume of Product that Client expects to order in the first 18 months of commercial manufacture of the Product (the "Forecast”). This Forecast will then be updated by Client on or before the 101h day of each month on a rolling forward basis. Client will update the Forecast forthwith if it determines that the volumes estimated in the most recent Forecast have changed by more than 20%. The most recent 1B month Forecast will prevail. Patheon acknowledges and agrees that it will make every effort to ensure that it has adequate capacity to fulfill Client's requirements under the Forecast.

(b)          Firm Orders for Initial Manufacturing Month . At least three months before the start  of  commercial manufacture of the Product, Client will update the rolling forecast for the first three months of manufacture of the Product (the "Initial Manufacturing  Period”).  The first month of this updated forecast ("Initial  Manufacturing Month") will constitute a final written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise ("First Firm Order") by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture the quantity of the Product.  [****].

(c)           Firm Orders Thereafter. After the Initial Manufacturing  Month, on a rolling basis during the term of this Agreement, and on or before the 10th day of each month, Client will issue an updated 1B month forecast and the first three months of that updated forecast will constitute a firm written order in the form of a purchase order or otherwise ("Firm Order") by Client to purchase and, when accepted by Patheon, for Patheon to manufacture and deliver the agreed quantity of the Products on a date not less than three months from the first day of the month Immediately following the date that the Firm Order is submitted. Finn Orders submitted to Patheon will specify Client's Manufacturing Services purchase order number, quantities by Product type, monthly delivery schedule, and any other elements necessary to ensure the timely manufacture and shipment of the Products.   The quantities of Products ordered in those written orders will be firm and binding on Client and may not be reduced by Client.

(d)          Three Year Forecast. On or before the 10th day of June of each Year, Client will give Patheon a written non-binding three year forecast, broken down by quarters for the second and third years of the forecast, of the volume of each Product Client then anticipates will be required to be manufactured and delivered to Client during the three year period.

5. 2         Reliance by Patheon .

(a)          Client understands and acknowledges that Patheon will rely on the Firm Orders and rolling forecasts submitted under Sections 5.1(a), (b), and (c) in ordering the Components required to meet the Firm Orders. In addition, Client understands that to ensure an orderly supply of the Components, Patheon may want to purchase the Components in sufficient volumes to meet the production requirements for Products during part or all of the forecasted periods referred to in Section 5.1(a) or to meet the production requirements of any longer period agreed to by Patheon and Client. Accordingly, Client authorizes Patheon to purchase Components to satisfy the Manufacturing Services requirements for Products for the first six months contemplated in the most recent forecast given by Client under Section 5.1(a). Patheon may make other purchases of Components to meet Manufacturing Services requirements for longer periods If agreed to in writing by the parties. The Client will give Patheon written authorization to order Components for any launch quantities of Product requested by Client which will be considered a Finn Order when accepted by Patheon. If Components ordered by Patheon under Firm Orders or this Section 5.2 are not included in finished Products manufactured for Client within six (6) months after the forecasted month for which the purchases have been made (or for a longer period as the parties may agree) or if the Components have expired during the period, then Client will pay to Patheon its costs therefor (including all costs incurred by Patheon for the purchase and handling of the Components). But if these Components are used in Products subsequently manufactured for Client or in third party products manufactured by Patheon, Client will receive credit for any costs of those Components previously paid to Patheon by   Client.

10


 

 

(b)         If Client fails to take possession or arrange for the destruction of Components within 12 months of purchase or, in the case of finished Product, within three months of manufacture, Client will pay Patheon [****], per month thereafter for storing the Components or finished Product. Storage fees for Components or Product which contain controlled substances or require refrigeration will be charged at [****]. Storage fees are subject to a one pallet minimum charge per month. Patheon may ship finished Product held by It longer than 3 months to the Client at Client's expense on 14 days written notice to the Client.

Client has the right to reject any portion of any shipment of Products that deviates from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws without invalidating  any remainder of the shipment. Client will inspect the Products manufactured by Patheon upon receipt and will give Patheon written notice (a “Deficiency Notice”) of all claims for Products that deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws within 30 days after Client's receipt thereof (or, in the case of any defects not reasonably susceptible to discovery upon receipt of the Product, within 30 days after discovery by Client, but not  after the expiration  date of the Product). Should Client fail to give Patheon the Deficiency Notice within the applicable 30 day period, then the delivery  will be deemed to have been accepted by  Client  on the 30" day after delivery or discovery, as applicable. Except as set out in Section 6.3, Patheon will have no liability for any deviations for which it has not received notice within the applicable 30 day period.

(b)          Determination of Deficiency . Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice, Patheon will have ten days to advise Client by notice in writing that it disagrees with the contents of the Deficiency Notice. If Client and Patheon fall to agree within ten days after Patheon's notice to Client as to whether any Products Identified in the Deficiency Notice deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, then the parties will mutually select an independent laboratory to evaluate If the Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws. This evaluation will be binding on the parties. If the evaluation certifies that any Products deviate from the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Client may reject those Products in the manner contemplated in this Section 6.1 and Patheon will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.  If the evaluation does not so certify for any of the Products, then Client   will be deemed  to  have accepted  delivery  of  the  Products  on  the  40th  day    after  delivery (or, in the case of any defects  not reasonably  susceptible  to  discovery  upon receipt  of  the  Product,  on the  40th  day   after  discovery  thereof by  Client, but  not  after the  expiration date of the Product) and Client will be responsible for the cost of the evaluation.

If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client's election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (Iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefore under Section 3.1. contingent upon Patheon being able to obtain from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products.

(b)          Recalled Product . If a Recall or return results from, or arises out of, a failure by Patheon to perform the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, and Applicable Laws, Patheon will be responsible for the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Recall or return and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the Recalled or returned Products with new Products, contingent upon Patheon being able to obtain from Client of all Active Materials required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. If Patheon is unable to replace the Recalled or returned Products (except where this inability results from a failure to receive the required Active Materials), then Client may request Patheon to reimburse Client for the price that Client paid to Patheon for Manufacturing Services for the affected Products. In all other circumstances, Recalls, returns, or other corrective actions will be made at Client’s cost and expense.

(c)          Except as set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and (b) above, Patheon will not be able to Client nor have any responsibility to Client for any deficiencies in, or other liabilities associated with, any Product manufactured by it, (collectively, "Product Claims").

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO MANUFACTURING SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") to the Manufacturing  Services Agreement is entered into as of June 2, 2011 by and among Patheon Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Patheon"), having its principal office at 2100 Syntex Court, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L5N 7K9, and lroko Pharmaceuticals LLC ("lroko"), having a principal office at One Crescent Drive, Suite 400, Philadelphia, PA  19112,  USA.

WHEREAS Patheon and lroko entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement dated May 29, 2009 and amended as of June 29, 2010 and August 5, 2010 (the "Agreement");  and

WHEREAS  the parties hereto wish to further amend the Agreement in order to provide  for the qualification of a new source of lndomethacin USP from [****];

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein  contained  and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that the Agreement is amended as follows:

1.    A new Schedule C-3 is added to the Agreement as attached hereto.

Except as set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the term thereof. In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall control. Upon execution, the Agreement and this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute the entire Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by duly authorized representatives on the dates set forth below.

SCHEDULE C-3

QUALIFICATION OF NEW [****] INDOMETHACIN API SOURCE

Project

This change of scope describes development activities to be performed for lroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC ("Client") by Patheon Inc. ("Patheon") under the terms and conditions of Technology Transfer Agreement IRO-FW01-0900-0109-R2 by and between Patheon and the Client which is hereby revised to include this change of scope in its entirety.

Due to the fact that there is only a limited remaining supply of indomethacin USP (the active pharmaceutical ingredient in lndocin Oral Suspension), from the current supplier (Merck), lroko has sourced a replacement. The existing supplies of Merck API expire in Nov 2012. lroko has selected material manufactured by [****] as a suitable replacement.

Patheon will purchase sufficient quantities of 3 distinct batches of [****] API for use in (1) the qualification of all methods necessary to test and release the API and (2) to manufacture 3 batches of lndocin Oral Suspension (qualification batches) for a stability study. The data generated from the stability study will be used in support of the FDA filing for this new API source.  An API cost [****] per kg is assumed in this proposal.

Current commercial manufacturing and packaging processes are assumed however the revised unit pricing (see tables below) will apply due to the increased API cost (as compared to current assumed Merck API costs). Unit pricing includes manufacturing, packaging and release testing. There will be an up-charge for validation testing (above and beyond routine commercial release testing) during the manufacturing of these qualification batches.

5.3         Discrepant Results . If the parties disagree as to whether Product is Defective Product and/or whether the cause of the nonconformity is Catalent Defective Processing, and this is not resolved within [****] days of the Exception Notice date, the parties shall cause a mutually acceptable independent third-party laboratory to review records, test data and to perform comparative tests and/or analyses on samples of the alleged Defective Product and its components, including Iroko-supplied Materials.  The independent party's results as to whether or not Product is Defective Product and the cause of any nonconformity shall be final and binding.

If the Participant's employment or other service relationship with the Company and the Company Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than Cause (regardless of whether such termination is initiated by the Company, any Company Affiliate or the Participant), the Participant or, if applicable, the Participant’s legal guardian,  executor, administrator, heir or legatee, may exercise the vested portion of the Option, but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of: (a) the date three months following the termination of the Participant's employment or other service relationship or (b) the Expiration Date.  Any portion of the Option that is unvested as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or other service with the Company and the Company Affiliates shall be immediately forfeited upon such termination with no compensation or other payment due to the Participant or any other Person.


 

3.2     Termination for Cause . If the Participant's employment or other service relationship is terminated for Cause, the Option (whether vested or unvested) shall immediately be cancelled for no compensation and cease to be exercisable.

3.3     Definition of Cause :  For purposes of this Agreement, (i) if the Participant is party to an effective employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company or any Company Affiliate at the time of the Participant’s termination that contains a definition of Cause, then “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth therein and (ii) if clause (i) does not apply, then “Cause” means (a) the Participant’s indictment for, conviction of, or the entering of a guilty plea or plea of no contest (or its equivalent under any applicable legal system) by Participant with respect to, a felony, the equivalent thereof, or any other crime involving moral turpitude; (b) the Participant’s commission of fraud, embezzlement or theft against the Company or any Company Affiliate, or the Participant’s commission of sexual harassment against any Person; (c) the Participant’s material breach of the terms of this Agreement; (d) the Participant’s willful misconduct in the performance of the Participant’s duties, or the willful and material violation by the Participant of any material written Company or Company Affiliate policy or code of conduct applicable to and previously provided or made available to the Participant in writing; (e) the Participant’s material breach of any confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-competition, non-solicitation or other restrictive covenant in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Company Affiliate; (f) the Participant’s refusal or failure to follow the lawful instructions of the Board or the Participant’s supervisor that are consistent with the Participant’s position; (g) the Participant’s material breach of any fiduciary duty owed under applicable law, statute or regulation to the Company or any Company Affiliate; or (h) the Participant’s engagement in any intentional activity that injures or would reasonably be expected to injure (monetarily or otherwise), in any material respect, the reputation, the business or a material business relationship of the Company or any Company Affiliate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cause shall not exist until and unless (i)  the Participant has been provided with written notice from the Board (excluding, if applicable, the Participant) finding that the Participant has engaged in the conduct described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of this Section 3.3 and expressing its intention to terminate the Participant’s employment for Cause and (ii)  with respect to clauses (c), (e), (f) or (g) of this Section 3.3, the Participant fails to cure such breach, refusal or failure (if such breach, refusal or failure is capable of cure) within ten (10) business days after Participant’s receipt of such written notice.

4.    Manner of Exercise .

4.1     Election to Exercise .  To exercise the Option, the Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant's death or incapacity, the Participant's executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company a notice of intent to exercise in the manner designated by the Committee.  If someone other than the Participant exercises the Option, then such Person must submit documentation

2


 

reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such Person has the legal right to exercise the Option.

4.2     Payment of Exercise Price .  The entire Exercise Price of the Option shall be payable within three days of the date of exercise (i) in cash or (ii) with the consent of the Committee in its sole discretion, by (a) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Option (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise),  (b)  tendering proceeds received from a broker-dealer whom the Participant has authorized to sell all or a portion of the Common Stock covered by the Option or (c)  delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

4.3     Withholding .  If the Company, in its discretion, determines that it is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of the Option, the Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay or provide for any applicable federal, state,  local and other withholding obligations of the Company or any Company Affiliate. The Participant may satisfy any tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise of the Option by (i) tendering a cash payment or (ii) with the consent of the Committee in its sole discretion, by (a) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Option (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), (b) tendering proceeds received from a broker-dealer whom the Participant has authorized to sell all or a portion of the Common Stock covered by the Option or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the 1934 Act may elect to pay all or a portion of any withholding or other taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Option by directing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be received in connection with such exercise (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise).  The Company and the Company Affiliates have the right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant.

4.4     Issuance of Shares .  Provided that the exercise notice and payment are in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Participant, the Participant's authorized assignee, or the Participant's legal representative, which shall be evidenced by stock certificates representing the shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto, appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company.

5.    No Right to Continued Service; No Rights as Stockholder .  Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in any position with the Company or any Company Affiliate as an Employee or other service provider.

3


 

Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company or any Company Affiliate to terminate the Participant's employment or other service relationship at any time for any reason, with or without notice. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option unless and until certificates representing the shares have been issued by the Company to the holder of such shares, or the shares have otherwise been recorded on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent as owned by such holder.

6.    Transferability .  Except with the prior written consent of the Committee in its sole discretion, the Option is not transferable by the Participant other than to a designated beneficiary upon the Participant's death or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by him or her (or his or her legal guardian in the event of the Participant’s incapacity). No assignment or transfer of the Option, or the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except to a designated beneficiary, upon death, by will or the laws of descent or distribution or with the Committee’s prior written consent) will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Option will terminate and become of no further effect.

7.    Change in Control .  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 4.3 of the Plan, a Change in Control shall have no effect on the Option.

8.    Adjustments . The exercise price of the Option and the number and kind of securities subject to the Option may be adjusted in any manner as contemplated by Section 12 of the Plan.

9.    Tax Liability and Withholding . Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (" Tax-Related Items "), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting, or exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired on exercise; and (b) does not commit to structure the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items.

10.  Compliance with Law . The exercise of the Option and the issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of federal,  state and all other securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to this Option unless and until any then applicable requirements of state,  federal and all other laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Participant understands that the

4


 

Company is under no obligation to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any other securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

11.  Notices . Any notice required to be delivered to the Company under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the Company's principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Participant under this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the Participant's address as shown in the records of the Company.
