Description of Business

Antares Pharma, Inc. (“Antares” or the “Company”) is a combination drug device company focused primarily on the development and commercialization of self-administered parenteral pharmaceutical products and technologies.  The Company develops and commercializes, for itself or with partners, novel therapeutic products using its advanced drug delivery technology to enhance existing drug compounds and delivery methods. The Company’s intramuscular and subcutaneous injection technology platforms include the VIBEX ® and VIBEX ® QuickShot ® pressure-assisted auto injector systems suitable for branded and generic injectable drugs in unit dose containers and disposable multi-dose pen injectors. The Company has a portfolio of proprietary and partnered commercial products and ongoing product development programs in various stages of development. The Company has formed significant strategic alliances with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (“Teva”), AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG”) and Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”).

The Company markets and sells its proprietary product XYOSTED ® (testosterone enanthate) injection, which is indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone. XYOSTED ® was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on September 28, 2018 and launched for commercial sale in November 2018.

The Company also markets and sells its proprietary product OTREXUP ® (methotrexate) injection in the U.S., which is indicated for adults with severe active rheumatoid arthritis, children with active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adults with severe recalcitrant psoriasis.  

Through its commercialization partner Teva, the Company sells Sumatriptan Injection USP, indicated in the U.S. for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache in adults.  

In collaboration with AMAG, the Company developed a subcutaneous auto injector for use with AMAG’s progestin hormone drug Makena ® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection) under an exclusive license and development agreement.  In February 2018, the FDA approved AMAG’s supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) for the Makena ® subcutaneous auto injector drug-device combination product, which is a ready-to-administer treatment indicated to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women pregnant with one baby and who spontaneously delivered one preterm baby in the past. The Company is the exclusive supplier of the devices and final assembled and packaged commercial product. AMAG launched the product for commercial sale in the first quarter of 2018.

Through a license, development and supply agreement with Teva, Antares developed and is the exclusive supplier of the device for Teva’s Epinephrine Injection USP, which is indicated for emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions in adults and certain pediatric patients. The product was approved by the FDA in August 2018 and launched for commercial sale in late fourth quarter of 2018.

The Company is also developing two multi-dose pen injector products in collaboration with Teva, a combination drug device rescue pen in collaboration with Pfizer, and has other ongoing internal research and development programs.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Revisions of Prior Period Financial Statements

During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, management revised the presentation of certain regulatory fees between research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, the Company also made revisions to its prior period interim consolidated statements of operations as follows:

These revisions had no impact on the Company’s total operating expenses or net loss. The revisions also had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets or the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity or cash flows. Management evaluated the materiality of the revisions from a quantitative and qualitative perspective and concluded that the revisions are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases (“Topic 842”) effective January 1, 2019, electing the package of practical expedients and applying the transition provisions as of the effective date. Reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts, as reported under previous GAAP, were not adjusted. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had non-cancellable operating leases for its corporate headquarters facility in Ewing, New Jersey, and its office, research and development facility in Plymouth, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, which were not required to be recorded on the balance sheet. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842, the Company recognized approximately $1.0 million in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in connection with its existing operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The amendment in this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods for those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In 2018, the FASB issued new guidance on a customer's accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by the vendor (i.e., a service contract). Under the new guidance, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify the interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with Customers standards. The guidance clarifies that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for under revenue guidance, adds unit of account guidance to the collaborative arrangement guidance to align with the revenue standard, and clarifies presentation guidance for transactions with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not accounted for under the revenue standard. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Certain components of the Company’s products are provided by a limited number of vendors, and the Company’s production, assembly, warehousing and distribution operations are outsourced to third-parties where substantially all of the Company’s inventory is located.  Disruption of supply from key vendors or third-party suppliers may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.  The Company provides a reserve for potentially excess, dated or obsolete inventories based on an analysis of inventory on hand compared to forecasts of future sales, which was $1,200 and $847 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  Inventories consist of the following:

Equipment, Molds, Furniture, and Fixtures

Equipment, molds, furniture, and fixtures are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s equipment, molds, furniture and fixtures totaled $14,994 and $14,895, respectively, which is presented net of accumulated depreciation of $8,633 and $7,570 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Leases

The Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities when it obtains the right to control an asset under a leasing arrangement with an initial term greater than twelve months. The Company evaluates the nature of each lease at the inception of an arrangement to determine whether it is an operating or financing lease and recognizes the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company’s leases do not generally contain an implicit interest rate and therefore the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate it would expect to pay to borrow on a similar collateralized basis over a similar term in order to determine the present value of its lease payments. Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements contain renewal options that have not been included in the determination of the lease term, as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. For contracts that contain lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for both components as a single lease component. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from proprietary and partnered product sales, license and development activities and royalty arrangements.  Revenue is recognized when or as the Company transfers control of the promised goods or services to its customers at the transaction price, which is the amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

At inception of each contract, the Company identifies the goods and services that have been promised to the customer and each of those that represent a distinct performance obligation, determines the transaction price including any variable consideration, allocates the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations and determines whether control transfers to the customer at a point in time or over time. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company reassesses its reserves for variable consideration at each reporting date and makes adjustments, if necessary, which may affect revenue and earnings in periods in which any such changes become known.

The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping activities as fulfilment cost. Amounts bil led to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of underlying goods are transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are includ ed in cost of revenue.

Proprietary Product Sales

The Company sells its proprietary products OTREXUP ® and XYOSTED ® primarily to wholesale and specialty distributors. Revenue is recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which is typically upon delivery, at the net selling price, which reflects the variable consideration for which reserves and sales allowances are established for estimated returns, wholesale distribution fees, prompt payment discounts, government rebates and chargebacks, plan rebate arrangements and patient discount and support programs.

The determination of certain of these reserves and sales allowances require management to make a number of judgements and estimates to reflect the Company’s best estimate of the transaction price and the amount of consideration to which it believes it is ultimately entitled to receive. The expected value is determined based on unit sales data, contractual terms with customers and third-party payers, historical and expected utilization rates, any new or anticipated changes in programs or regulations that would impact the amount of the actual rebates, customer purchasing patterns, product expiration dates and levels of inventory in the distribution channel. Reserves for prompt payment discounts are recorded as a reduction in accounts receivable. Reserves for returns, rebates and chargebacks, distributor fees and customer co-pay support programs are included within current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Partnered Product Sales

The Company is party to several license, development, supply and distribution arrangements with pharmaceutical partners, under which the Company produces and is the exclusive supplier of certain products, devices and/or components. Revenue is recognized when or as control of the goods transfers to the customer as follows:

The Company is the exclusive supplier of the Makena ® subcutaneous auto injector product to AMAG. Because the product is custom manufactured for AMAG with no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment for performance completed to date, control is continuously transferred to the customer as product is produced pursuant to firm purchase orders. Revenue is recognized over time using the output method based on the contractual selling price and number of units produced.  The amount of revenue recognized in excess of the amount shipped/billed to the customer, if any, is recorded as contract assets due to the short-term nature in which the amount is ultimately expected to be billed and collected from the customer.

All other partnered product sales are recognized at the point in time in which control is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment. Sales terms and pricing are governed by the respective supply and distribution agreements, and there is generally no price protection or right of return. Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which includes the contractual per unit selling price and estimated variable consideration, if any.  For example, the Company sells Sumatriptan Injection USP to Teva at cost and is entitled to receive 50 percent of the net profits from commercial sales made by Teva, payable to the Company within 45 days after the end of the quarter in which the commercial sales are made. The Company recognizes revenue, including the estimated variable consideration it expects to receive for contract margin on future commercial sales, upon shipment of the goods to Teva.  The estimated variable consideration is recognized at an amount the Company believes is not subject to significant reversal based on historical experience, and is adjusted at each reporting period if the most likely amount of expected consideration changes or becomes fixed.

Licensing and Development Revenue

The Company has entered into several license, development and supply arrangements with pharmaceutical partners under which the Company grants a license to its device technology and know-how and provides research and development services that often involve multiple performance obligations and highly customized deliverables. For such arrangements, the Company identifies each of the promised goods and services within the contract and the distinct performance obligations at inception, and allocates consideration to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price, which is generally determined based on the expected cost plus margin.

(UNAUDITED)

 

If the contract includes an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date and performance obligations are satis fied over time, the Company recognized revenue over the development period using either the input or output method depending on which is most appropriate given the nature of the distinct deliverable. For other contracts that do not contain an enforceable r ight to payment for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. Factors that may indicate that the transfer of control has occurred include the transfer of legal title, transfer of physical possession, the customer has obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the assets and the Company has a present right to payment.

The Company’s typical payment terms for development contracts may include an upfront payment equal to a percentage of the total contract value with the remaining portion to be billed upon completion and transfer of the individual deliverables or satisfaction of the individual performance obligations. The Company records a liability for cash received in advance of performance, which is presented within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet and recognized as revenue when the associated performance obligations have been satisfied. The Company recognized $505 in licensing and development revenue in connection with contract liabilities that were outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and satisfied during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

License fees and milestones received in exchange for the grant of a license to the Company’s functional intellectual property (“IP”) such as patented technology and know-how in connection with a partnered development arrangement are generally recognized at inception of the arrangement, or over the development period depending on the facts and circumstances, as the license is not generally distinct from the non-licensed goods or services to be provided under the contract. Milestone payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, are evaluated and recorded at the most likely amount, and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur when the associated uncertainty is resolved.

Royalties

The Company earns royalties in connection with licenses granted under license and development arrangements with partners. Royalties are based upon a percentage of commercial sales of partnered products with rates ranging from mid-single digit to low double digit and are tiered based on levels of net sales. These sales-based royalties, for which the license was deemed the predominant element to which the royalties relate, are estimated and recognized in the period in which the partners’ commercial sales occur.  The royalties are generally reported and payable to the Company within 45 to 60 days of the end of the period in which the commercial sales are made.  The Company bases its estimates of royalties earned on actual sales information from its partners when available or estimated prescription sales from external sources and estimated net selling price. If actual royalties received are different than amounts estimated, the Company would adjust the royalty revenue in the period in which the adjustment becomes known.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represents the allocation of transaction price of firm orders and development contract deliverables for which work has not been completed or orders fulfilled, and excludes potential purchase orders under ordering-type supply contracts with indefinite delivery or quantity.  As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate value of remaining performance obligations, excluding contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, was $9.9 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next three years.

 

3.

Leases

The Company leases its facilities under non-cancellable operating leases. In May 2019, the Company amended its existing lease of the Company’s corporate headquarters in Ewing, New Jersey to extend the lease term for an additional two years. The lease extension period commences on November 1, 2019 and expires on October 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company also entered into a master lease arrangement for a fleet of vehicles for use by its sales force.  

As of June 30, 2019, all of the Company’s leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases. Operating lease costs were $330 and $505 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $538  and $716 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, operating lease ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were $2,377, including the impact of the lease amendment for the corporate headquarters. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average discount rate was approximately 9.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.7 years.

Long-Term Debt

In June 2017, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc., for a term loan of up to $35.0 million (the “Term Loan”), under which the Company initially borrowed $25.0 million (“Tranche I”.) The amortizing Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property, accrues interest at a prime-based variable rate with a maximum of 9.5%, provided for payments of interest-only until August 1, 2019 and matures on July 1, 2022.

On June 26, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement, which increased the aggregate principal amount available under the Term Loan from $35.0 million to $50.0 million. Upon signing of the Amendment, an additional $15.0 million (“Tranche II”) was funded to the Company. The Company may, but is not obligated to, request one or more additional advances of at least $5.0 million, not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate (“Tranche III”). The Company’s option to request additional advances is available between January 1, 2020 and September 15, 2020. The Amendment extended the interest-only payment period of the Term Loan to August 1, 2021, which may be further extended to August 1, 2022 if the Company achieves a certain loan extension milestone. The Term Loan maturity date remains July 1, 2022, but may be extended to July 1, 2024 contingent upon satisfaction of a certain loan extension milestone.

The Company is required to pay an end of term fee (“End of Term Charge”) equal to 4.25% of Tranche I and 3.95% of the borrowings under Tranche II and Tranche III, payable upon the earlier of July 1, 2022 or repayment of the loan.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the Term Loan was $40,143 and $25,126, respectively, which consisted of the principal amounts outstanding and the End of Term Charge accrual, less unamortized debt issuance costs that are being amortized/accrued to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method. Future principal payments under the Term Loan, excluding the contractual End of Term Charges, are due in the following periods:

Stockholders’ Equity

In August 2017, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) under which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time and at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Cowen as the Company’s sales agent and/or as principal. Cowen was permitted to sell the common stock through any method deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ATM Facility”).

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made no sales of its common stock under the ATM Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold 2.3 million shares of common stock under the ATM Facility. The sale of common stock resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $8.1 million, less sales commission and payment of offering costs, resulting in net offering proceeds to the Company of $7.8 million.

On June 26, 2019, the Company delivered written notice to Cowen that it was terminating its Sales Agreement effective July 6, 2019. With the provision of such notice, the ATM Facility is no longer available for use. The Company sold a total of 4.4 million shares in connection with the ATM Facility, representing gross proceeds of approximately $15.6 million to the Company.

6 .

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has an Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which was amended and restated pursuant to stockholder approval on June 13, 2019 in order to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, extend the term of the Plan and modify certain provisions. The Plan allows for grants in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock units, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards. All of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors are eligible to receive grants under the Plan.  The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan is 40.2 million and the maximum number of shares of stock that may be granted to any one employee for qualified performance-based compensation during a calendar year is four million shares.  Options to purchase shares of common stock are granted at exercise prices not less than 100% of fair market value on the dates of grant.  The term of each option is ten years and the options typically vest over a three-year period with a minimum vesting period of one year.  As of June 30, 2019, the Plan had approximately 7.5 million shares available for grant. Stock option exercises are satisfied through the issuance of new shares.

The Company’s Board of Directors has also approved a long-term incentive program (“LTIP”), pursuant to which the Company’s senior executives have been awarded stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) with targeted values based on values granted to similarly situated senior executives in the Company’s peer group. The stock options have a ten-year term, have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, vest in annual installments over three years, and are granted on the same standard terms and conditions as other stock options granted pursuant to the Plan. The RSU awards made to senior executives vest and convert into shares of the Company’s stock in three equal annual installments.  The PSU awards vest and convert into shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Company’s attainment of certain performance goals as established by the Company’s Board of Directors over a performance period, which is typically three years.

A portion of the compensation provided to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors is awarded in the form of stock options and RSUs, which vest in full one year from the date of grant and are otherwise granted on the same standard terms and conditions as other awards granted under the Plan.

Compensation expense recognized in connection with RSU awards was $702 and $523 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The LTIP awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with a value equivalent to the employees’ tax obligations for applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The Company withheld 362 and 208 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to satisfy tax obligations, which was determined based on the fair value of the shares on their vesting date equal to the Company’s closing stock price on such date. The Company paid $1,063 and $527 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to taxing authorities for the employees’ tax obligations, which is reflected as a cash outflow from financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows. Net-share settlements have the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduce the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting.

Sale of Assets

In October 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Ferring International Center S.A. (together with Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Ferring B.V. individually and collectively referred to as “Ferring”) to sell the worldwide rights, including certain assets, related to the needle-free auto injector device product line for a total purchase price of $14.5 million. The purchase price was to be paid in four installments consisting of the following: a $2.0 million upfront payment, which was received upon entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transfer of certain assets; a second installment of $2.75 million received upon delivery of certain documentation and satisfaction of certain conditions primarily related to product manufacturing; a third installment of $4.75 million received upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including further document transfer, the successful completion of a regulatory audit by a notified body, and a pilot manufacturing run under Ferring’s supervision; and a final installment of $5.0 million due upon Ferring’s receipt of the CE Mark needed to continue to commercialize the product in certain territories and the final transfer of certain product-related inventory, equipment and agreements to Ferring (the “Completion Date”).

On May 1, 2019, the Company and Ferring entered into the First Amendment of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to extend the term of the agreement to the third anniversary, to provide for the manufacture and delivery of additional product by Antares to Ferring prior to the Completion Date, and to bifurcate the payment of the final installment of the purchase price such that $2.5 million was paid to the Company upon the First Amendment effective date, with the remaining $2.5 million to be paid at the Completion Date, which is expected to occur by the end of 2019. The Company will continue to manufacture and supply needle-free devices until the Completion Date, and will receive payment for devices manufactured and supplied to its partners, and a royalty on net product sales, in accordance with the existing license and supply agreements.

The Company previously recorded the gain on sale of assets as it was determined that, based on the satisfaction of certain conditions and the status of remaining closing requirements, it was probable that a significant reversal of the gain will not occur. The receipt of the $2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 was recorded as a reduction in the related contract asset balance and a cash inflow from investing activities in the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock.  Potentially dilutive stock options and other share-based awards excluded from dilutive loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive totaled 19,264 and 17,326 at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

Pending Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal matters generally incidental to its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, after discussion with legal counsel, management is not aware of any matters for which the likelihood of a loss is probable and reasonably estimable and which could have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

On October 23, 2017, Randy Smith filed a complaint in the District of New Jersey, captioned Randy Smith, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Antares Pharma, Inc., Robert F. Apple and Fred M. Powell (“ Smith ”), Case No. 3:17-cv-08945-MAS-DEA, on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Antares securities between December 21, 2016 and October 12, 2017, inclusive, asserting claims for purported violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against Antares, Robert F. Apple and Fred M. Powell.  The Smith complaint contends that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Antares had provided insufficient data to the FDA in connection with the NDA for XYOSTED ® ; and (ii) accordingly, Antares had overstated the approval prospects for XYOSTED ® .  On July 27, 2018, the court entered an order appointing Serghei Lungu as lead plaintiff, Pomerantz LLP as lead counsel, and Lite DePalma Greenberg, LLC as liaison counsel for plaintiff.  On August 3, 2018, the parties submitted a stipulation and proposed order, setting forth an agreed-upon schedule for responding to the complaint, which the court granted. Pursuant to that order, plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on October 9, 2018. On November 26, 2018, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion on January 10, 2019 and defendants filed a reply in support of their motion on February 25, 2019. On July 2, 2019, the court dismissed the complaint in its entirety without prejudice. On July 29, 2019, plaintiff filed a Consolidated Second Amended Class Action Complaint against the same parties alleging substantially similar claims. The Company believes that the claims in the Smith action lack merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

On January 12, 2018, a stockholder of the Company filed a derivative civil action, captioned Chiru Mackert, derivatively on behalf of Antares Pharma, Inc., v. Robert F. Apple, et al. , in the Superior Court of New Jersey Chancery Division, Mercer County (Case No. C-000011-18).  On January 17, 2018, another stockholder filed a derivative action in the same court, captioned Vikram Rao, Derivatively on Behalf of Antares Pharma, Inc. v. Robert F. Apple, et al. (Case No. C-000004-18). Both complaints name Robert F. Apple, Fred M. Powell, Thomas J. Garrity, Jacques Gonella, Anton Gueth, Leonard S. Jacob, Marvin Samson and Robert P. Roche, Jr. as defendants, and the Company as nominal defendant, and they assert claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets arising from the same facts underlying the Smith securities class action.  The plaintiffs seek damages, corporate governance and internal procedure reforms and improvements, restitution, reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, costs, and expenses. The parties have filed a stipulation consolidating the two actions and staying the proceedings pending the court’s decision on defendants’ motion to dismiss the Smith action.

On January 17, 2018, a stockholder of the Company filed a derivative civil action, captioned Robert Clark, Derivatively on Behalf of Antares Pharma, Inc. v. Robert F. Apple, et al. (“ Clark ”) (Case No. 3:18-cv-00703-MAS-DEA), against Robert F. Apple, Thomas J. Garrity, Jacques Gonella, Leonard S. Jacob, Marvin Samson, Anton G. Gueth and Robert P. Roche, Jr. as defendants, and Company as a nominal defendant.  The action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, and a violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  This complaint relates to the same facts underlying the Smith securities class action and the other derivative actions.  The plaintiff in Clark seeks damages, corporate governance and internal procedure reforms and improvements, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses.   The parties have filed a stipulation staying the action pending the court’s decision on defendants’ motion to dismiss the Smith action.

Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with Whitewater Properties I, LLC (the “Landlord”) for approximately 75,000 square feet of office, laboratory, manufacturing and warehousing space in the building known as 12500 Whitewater Drive, Minnetonka, Minnesota. The initial term of the Lease is 12 years and the Company may renew the Lease, at its option, for one additional renewal period of three years. The Landlord delivered possession of the premises to the Company on July 1, 2019 (the “Delivery Date”) and payment of rent will commence on January 1, 2020.  The annual base rent is $180,372 in year one, $281,160 in year two, and $625,224 in year three, with annual increases of approximately 2% thereafter over the remaining initial lease term. The Company will also pay additional rent for operating expenses, insurance premiums and taxes. The Company is performing the build-out of the premises at the Company’s cost with an allowance provided by the Landlord of up to approximately $1.2 million, to be disbursed over four disbursement periods, all within 36 months after the Delivery Date.

Company Overview

Antares Pharma, Inc. (“Antares,” “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company”) is a combination drug device company focused primarily on the development and commercialization of self-administered parenteral pharmaceutical products and technologies.  Our strategy is to identify new or existing approved drug formulations and apply our patented drug delivery technology to enhance the drug delivery methods.  We develop, manufacture and commercialize, for ourselves or with partners, novel therapeutic products using our advanced drug delivery systems that are designed to provide commercial or functional advantages, such as improved safety and efficacy, reduced side effects, and enhanced patient comfort and adherence. Our intramuscular and subcutaneous injection technology platforms include the VIBEX ® and VIBEX ® QuickShot ® pressure-assisted auto injector systems suitable for branded and generic injectable drugs in unit dose containers as well as disposable multi-dose pen injectors. We have a portfolio of proprietary and partnered commercial products and ongoing product development programs in various stages of development.  We have formed significant strategic alliances and partnership arrangements with industry leading pharmaceutical companies including Teva, AMAG and Pfizer.  

We developed and commercialized XYOSTED ® (testosterone enanthate) injection, indicated for testosterone replacement therapy in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone, which was approved by the FDA on September 28, 2018 and launched for commercial sale in November 2018. XYOSTED ® is the only FDA approved subcutaneous testosterone enanthate product for once-weekly, at-home self-administration. In connection with the launch of XYOSTED ® , we hired approximately 50 additional sales representatives and cross-trained the combined sales force to leverage our existing resources and enhance our commercial organization. Our sales representatives started detailing XYOSTED ® to physicians in the second half of December 2018.

We market and sell our proprietary product OTREXUP ® (methotrexate) injection, which is a subcutaneous methotrexate injection for once weekly self-administration with an easy-to-use, single dose, disposable auto injector, indicated for adults with severe active rheumatoid arthritis, children with active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adults with severe recalcitrant psoriasis.

Through our commercialization partner Teva, we sell Sumatriptan Injection USP indicated in the U.S. for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache in adults. We received FDA approval of our Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for 4 mg/0.5 mL and 6 mg/0.5 mL single-dose prefilled syringe auto-injectors, a generic equivalent to Imitrex ® STATdose Pen ® .  Sumatriptan Injection USP is the Company’s first ANDA approval of a complex generic and second product approved using the VIBEX ® auto injector platform.

We developed and supply a variation of our VIBEX ® QuickShot ® subcutaneous auto injector for use with AMAG’s progestin hormone drug Makena ® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection) under an exclusive license and development agreement. The Makena ® subcutaneous auto injector drug-device combination product is a ready-to-administer treatment indicated to help reduce the risk of preterm birth in women pregnant with one baby and who spontaneously delivered one preterm baby in the past, which was approved by the FDA in February 2018. We are the exclusive supplier of the devices and the final assembled and packaged commercial product, which was launched in the U.S. for commercial sale by AMAG in March 2018, and we receive royalties on AMAG’s net sales of the product.

In collaboration with Teva, we developed a version of our VIBEX ® auto injector for use in a generic epinephrine auto injector product that was approved by the FDA in August 2018 and commercially launched in limited quantities in late fourth quarter of 2018.  Teva’s Epinephrine Injection USP is indicated for emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions including those that are life threatening (anaphylaxis) in adults and certain pediatric patients and was approved as a generic drug product with an AB rating, meaning that it is therapeutically equivalent to Mylan, Inc.’s branded products EpiPen ® and EpiPen Jr ® and therefore, subject to state law, substitutable at the pharmacy. We are the exclusive supplier of the device and Teva is responsible for commercialization and distribution of the finished product, for which we also receive royalties on Teva’s net sales.

We are also collaborating with Teva on a multi-dose pen for a generic form of BYETTA ® (exenatide injection) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and another multi-dose pen for a generic form of Forteo ® (teriparatide [rDNA origin] injection) for the treatment of osteoporosis. Teva continues to work through the regulatory process with the FDA for exenatide and teriparatide using the ANDA pathway.  Teva and Eli Lilly and Company settled their Paragraph IV patent litigation related to Teva’s ANDA for teriparatide, the terms of which have not been disclosed. Teva also successfully completed a decentralized procedure registration process in 17 countries in Europe for teriparatide, and is awaiting patent clearance in the EU prior to launch.

In August 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Pfizer to develop a combination drug device rescue pen. This rescue pen will utilize the Antares QuickShot ® auto injector and an undisclosed Pfizer drug. We will develop the product and Pfizer will be responsible for obtaining FDA approval of the combination product. We intend to enter into a separate supply agreement with Pfizer pursuant to which we will provide fully packaged commercial ready finished product to Pfizer and Pfizer will then be responsible for commercializing the product in the U.S. , pending FDA approval, for which the Company will receive royalties on net sales.

We are committed to advancing our internal research and development programs and continue to invest in the development of our proprietary product pipeline. Our research and development efforts are focused primarily on leveraging our existing product and technology platforms by broadening their applications for use in other drug/device combination products, as well as exploring new pharmaceutical products, technologies and drug delivery methods.

We also make reusable, needle-free injection devices, which are currently marketed primarily through Ferring and JCR Pharmaceuticals CO., Ltd. for use with human growth hormone. However, in October 2017, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Ferring to sell the worldwide rights, including certain assets related to the needle-free auto injector device product line for $14.5 million (the “Ferring Transaction”). The purchase price was to be paid in four installments consisting of: a $2.0 million upfront payment, which was received upon entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transfer of certain assets; a second installment of $2.75 million received upon delivery of certain documentation and satisfaction of certain conditions primarily related to product manufacturing; a third installment of $4.75 million received upon satisfaction of certain conditions including further document transfer, the successful completion of a regulatory audit by a notified body, and a pilot manufacturing run under Ferring’s supervision; and a final installment of $5.0 million due upon the Completion Date.

The Asset Purchase Agreement was amended in May 2019 in order to extend the term of the agreement, provide for the manufacture and delivery of additional product by Antares to Ferring prior to the Completion Date, and to bifurcate the payment of the final installment of the purchase price such that $2.5 million was paid to the Company upon the effective date of the First Amendment, with the remaining $2.5 million to be paid at the Completion Date. We will continue to manufacture and supply needle-free devices and receive payment for devices and a royalty on net product sales in accordance with the existing license and supply agreements until the Completion Date, which we expect to occur in 2019.

Results of Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we continued to generate significant growth in our product sales and total revenue, and to invest in our commercial infrastructure and research and development activities. We reported net losses of $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and net losses of $7.8 million and $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net loss per share was $0.01 and $0.05 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $0.03 and $0.07 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.  The following is an analysis and discussion of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018.

Revenues

We generate revenue from proprietary and partnered product sales, license and development activities and royalty arrangements.  Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $28.4 million and $14.2 million, respectively, representing an increase in total revenue of 101% on a comparative basis. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $51.7 million and $26.9 million, respectively, representing an increase of 93%.

Product Revenue

Revenue from product sales was $20.6 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of 86% on a period over period basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we generated revenue from product sales of $38.9 million and $22.0 million, respectively, representing an increase of 77%. The increases in product revenue were driven primarily by sales of recently approved products, both proprietary and partnered, as discussed below.

Sales of our proprietary products OTREXUP ® and XYOSTED ® , which are presented net of estimated product returns and sales allowances, generated revenue of $9.0 million and $13.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to $3.8 million and $7.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in proprietary product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were principally attributable to sales of XYOSTED ® , which was launched for commercial sale in late 2018.  

We manufacture and sell devices, components and fully assembled and packaged product to our partners Teva, AMAG and Ferring. Partnered product sales were $11.6 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $25.2 million and $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in sales of partnered products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily attributable to sales of auto injector devices to Teva for use with their Epinephrine Injection USP, an increase in sales of Sumatriptan Injection USP and pen injector devices to Teva, and sales of needle-free devices to Ferring. We will continue to manufacture and supply needle-free devices through the completion of the Ferring Transaction, which is expected to occur in 2019.  

Licensing and development revenue

Licensing and development revenue includes license fees received from partners for the right to use our intellectual property and amounts earned in joint development arrangements with partners under which we perform joint development activities or develop new products on their behalf.  Licensing and development revenue was $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $3.2 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increases in development revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 was primarily a result of the ongoing development programs with Pfizer and Teva.

Royalties

Royalty revenue was $5.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $9.6 million versus $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The significant increases in royalty revenue were primarily attributable to royalties received from AMAG on their net sales of the Makena ® subcutaneous auto injector and royalties received from Teva on their net sales of Epinephrine Injection USP, which was launched in late 2018.

Fluctuations in our gross profit and gross profit percentage are driven by our overall revenue mix. Our gross profit was $16.0 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $28.3 million and $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The increase in our gross profit and gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to the significant increases in our royalty revenue, which has no associated incremental cost, and our proprietary product sales. Other variations in cost of revenue and gross profit were attributable to our increase in product revenue, and to our development activities, which fluctuate depending on the mix of development projects in progress and stages of completion in each period.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of external costs for clinical studies and analysis activities, design work and prototype development, FDA application fees, personnel costs and other general operating expenses associated with our research and development activities.  Research and development expenses were $2.5 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $4.9 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The decrease in research and development costs on a comparative basis was primarily due to higher spending associated with XYOSTED ® prior to its approval in 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.1 million and $7.9 million for three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $30.0 million and $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The significant increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were principally attributable to incremental sales and marketing costs incurred in connection with the recent launch of XYOSTED ® , including the increase in compensation and benefits expense associated with approximately 50 additional sales representatives hired in late 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $40.2 million. Our principal liquidity needs are to fund our product manufacturing, research and development activities and for the payment of other operating expenses. We have not historically generated, and do not currently expect to generate, enough revenue or operating cash flow to support or grow our operations and we continue to operate primarily by raising capital. Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from equity offerings and debt issuance. We believe that the combination of our current cash and cash equivalents, projected product sales, development revenue milestones and royalties will provide us with sufficient funds to meet our obligations and support operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.

Long-term Debt Financing

In June 2017, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc., for a term loan of up to $35.0 million (the “Term Loan”), under which we initially borrowed $25.0 million (“Tranche I”.) The amortizing Term Loan is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property, accrues interest at a prime-based variable rate with a maximum of 9.5%, provided for payment of interest-only until August 1, 2019 and matures on July 1, 2022.

On June 26, 2019, we entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement, which increased the aggregate principle amount available under the Term Loan from $35.0 million to $50.0 million. Upon signing of the Amendment, an additional $15.0 million (“Tranche II”) was funded to us, resulting in total principle balance outstanding under the loan of $40.0 million. We may, but are not obligated to, request one or more additional advances of at least $5.0 million, not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate (“Tranche III”), between January 1, 2020 and September 15, 2020. The Amendment extended the interest-only payment period of the Term Loan to August 1, 2021, which may be further extended to August 1, 2022 if we achieve a certain loan extension milestone. The loan maturity date of the Term Loan remains July 1, 2022, but may be extended to July 1, 2024 contingent upon satisfaction of a certain loan extension milestone.

At the Market Common Stock Offering Program

In August 2017, we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) under which we could offer and sell, from time to time and at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Cowen as the sales agent and/or as principal. Cowen was permitted to sell the common stock through any method deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ATM Facility”).

There were no sales of common stock made pursuant to the ATM Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 2.3 million shares of common stock under the ATM Facility. The sale of common stock resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $8.1 million, less sales commission and payment of offering costs, resulting in net offering proceeds to the Company of $7.8 million.

On June 26, 2019, we delivered written notice to Cowen that we were terminating the Sales Agreement effective July 6, 2019. With the provision of such notice, the ATM Facility is no longer available for use. The Company sold a total of 4.4 million shares in connection with the ATM Facility, representing gross proceeds of approximately $15.6 million to the Company.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating cash inflows are generated primarily from product sales, license and development fees and royalties.  Operating cash outflows consist principally of expenditures for manufacturing costs, personnel costs, general and administrative expenses, research and development projects, and sales and marketing activities. Fluctuations in cash used in operating activities are primarily a result of the timing of cash receipts and disbursements. Net cash used in operating activities was $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by inventory build, growth in accounts receivable and other changes in operating assets and liabilities due to timing of cash receipts and cash payments.  

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included the receipt of $2.5 million in connection with the Ferring Transaction offset by capital expenditures of $1.1 million. The net cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included the receipt of $7.5 million in connection with the Ferring Transaction and $5.0 million in proceeds from investment maturities, offset by payments for capital expenditures and patent acquisition costs.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net cash flow provided by financing activities was $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and consisted of $15.0 million in new debt proceeds received in connection with the Amendment of our Term Loan, $7.8 million in net cash proceeds received from sales of our common stock through the ATM Facility, and $0.5 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options offset by $1.1 million paid to taxing authorities in connection with net-share settled stock-based awards for which we withheld shares equivalent to the value of the employees’ tax obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.2 million, which included proceeds received in connection with the exercise of stock options offset by amounts paid to taxing authorities for net-share settled equity awards.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preceding discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates, and significant variances could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.

The accounting policies we believe to be most critical to understanding our results of operations and financial condition related to revenue recognition and inventory valuation, which are fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, including any arrangements with any structured finance, special purpose or variable interest entities.

Item 3.

Q UANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure is foreign exchange rate fluctuations of the Swiss Franc to the U.S. dollar as the financial position and operating results of our subsidiaries in Switzerland are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations also arises from transferring funds to our Swiss subsidiaries in Swiss Francs.  In addition, we have exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between the Euro and the U.S. dollar. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge against exchange rate risk.  The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results for the period ended June 30, 2019 was not material.

We may be exposed to interest rate risk and interest rate fluctuations as a result of our long-term debt financing. Our loan, with a current outstanding principal balance of $40.0 million accrues interest at a calculated prime-based variable rate with a maximum interest rate of 9.50%, which was the rate in effect during the six months ended June 30, 2019. A hypothetical increase or decrease in the interest rate of 1.0% would result in additional or lower incremental annual interest expense of $400,000.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  The evaluation was performed to determine whether the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - O THER INFORMATION

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 23, 2017, Randy Smith filed a complaint in the District of New Jersey , captioned Randy Smith, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Antares Pharma, Inc., Robert F. Apple and Fred M. Powell (“Smith”) , Case No. 3:17-cv-08945-MAS-DEA, on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Antares securities between December 21, 2016 and October 12, 2017, inclusive, asserting claims for purported violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Antares, Robert F. Apple and Fred M. Powell.  The Smith complaint contends that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Antares had provided insufficient data to the FDA in connection with the NDA for XYOSTED ® ; and (ii) accordingly, Antares had overstated the approval prospects for XYOSTED ® . On July 27, 2018, the court entered an order appointing Serghei Lungu as lead plaintiff, Pomerantz LLP as lead counsel, and Lite DePalma Greenberg, LLC as liaison counsel for plaintiff.  On August 3, 2018, the parties submitted a stipulation and proposed order, setting forth an agreed-upon schedule for responding to the complaint, which the court granted. Pursuant to that order, plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint on October 9, 2018. On November 26, 2018, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion on January 10, 2019 and defendants filed a reply in support of their motion on February 25, 2019. On July 2, 2019, the court dismissed the complaint in its entirety without prejudice. On July 29, 2019, plaintiff filed a Consolidated Second Amended Class Action Complaint against the same parties alleging substantially similar claims. The Company believes that the claims in the Smith action lack merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

On January 12, 2018, a stockholder of our Company filed a derivative civil action, captioned Chiru Mackert, derivatively on behalf of Antares Pharma, Inc., v. Robert F. Apple, et al. , in the Superior Court of New Jersey Chancery Division, Mercer County (Case No. C-000011-18).  On January 17, 2018, another stockholder filed a derivative action in the same court, captioned Vikram Rao, Derivatively on Behalf of Antares Pharma, Inc. v. Robert F. Apple, et al. (Case No. C-000004-18). Both complaints name Robert F. Apple, Fred M. Powell, Thomas J. Garrity, Jacques Gonella, Anton Gueth, Leonard S. Jacob, Marvin Samson and Robert P. Roche, Jr. as defendants, and the Company as nominal defendant, and they assert claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets arising from the same facts underlying the Smith securities class action.  The plaintiffs seek damages, corporate governance and internal procedure reforms and improvements, restitution, reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, costs, and expenses. The parties have filed a stipulation consolidating the two actions and staying the proceedings pending the court’s decision on defendants’ motion to dismiss the Smith action. 

On January 17, 2018, a stockholder of our Company filed a derivative civil action, captioned Robert Clark, Derivatively on Behalf of Antares Pharma, Inc. v. Robert F. Apple, et al. (“ Clark ”) (Case No. 3:18-cv-00703-MAS-DEA), against Robert F. Apple, Thomas J. Garrity, Jacques Gonella, Leonard S. Jacob, Marvin Samson, Anton G. Gueth and Robert P. Roche, Jr. as defendants, and Company as a nominal defendant.  The action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, and a violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  This complaint relates to the same facts underlying the Smith securities class action and the other derivative actions.  The plaintiff in Clark seeks damages, corporate governance and internal procedure reforms and improvements, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses.   The parties have filed a stipulation staying the action pending the court’s decision on defendants’ motion to dismiss the Smith action.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

 

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT

 

This NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of _________ __, 20___ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by Antares Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) to _______________ (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

A. The Company maintains the Antares Pharma, Inc. Equity Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has decided to make a stock option grant as an inducement for the Grantee to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  

B. The Board is authorized to appoint a committee to administer the Plan and if a committee is appointed, all references in this Agreement to the “Board” shall be deemed to refer to the committee.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Option .  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase ___________ shares of common stock of the Company (“Shares”) at an exercise price of $_________ per Share.  The Option shall become exercisable according to Paragraph 2 below.  

2. Exercisability of Option .  

(a) Service-Based Vesting .  Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 2(b) below and provided that the Grantee continues to be Employed by, or provide service to, the Employer (as defined in the Plan) from the Date of Grant through the applicable vesting date, the Option with respect to one-third of the Shares will vest and become exercisable on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant.  The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Shares subject to the Option.  If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Shares, the number of Shares for which the Option becomes vested and exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share and any fractional Shares will be accumulated and will vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Grantee is Employed by, or providing service to, the Employer as of such date.

(b) Change of Control .  Except as otherwise provided in a written employment agreement entered into by and between the Grantee and the Employer (as defined in the Plan), in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) before the Option is fully exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in subparagraph 2(a) above, the Board may take such actions with respect to the exercisability of the Option as it deems appropriate pursuant to

 

DB1/ 83696093.3


 

the Plan; provided that if the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation) as a result of the Change of Control and the Option is assumed by, or replaced with an award with comparable terms by, the surviving corporation (or parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation) and the Grantee ceases to be Employed by, or provide service to, the Employer on account of a termination by the Employer without Cause (as defined in the Plan) upon or within 12 months following a Change of Control and before the Option is fully exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in subparagraph 2(a) above, any unexercisable portion of the Option shall become fully exercisable upon such termination of employment.  If the Grantee continues to be Employed by, or provide service to, the Employer through each of the applicable Vesting Dates set forth in subparagraph 2(a) following the Change of Control, the Option will become exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in subparagraph 2(a).

3. Term of Option .

(a) The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at the expiration of that period, unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan.

(b) The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of the first of the following events:

(i) The expiration of the 90‑day period after the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer, if the termination is for any reason other than Disability (as defined in the Plan), death or Cause (as defined in the Plan).

(ii) The expiration of the one‑year period after the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer on account of the Grantee’s Disability.

(iii) The expiration of the one‑year period after the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer, if the Grantee dies while employed by, or providing service to, the Employer or if the Grantee dies within 90 days after the Grantee ceases to be so employed or provide such services on account of a termination described in subparagraph (i) above.

(iv) The date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer for Cause.  In addition, notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph 3, if the Grantee engages in conduct that constitutes Cause after the Grantee’s employment or service terminates, the Option shall immediately terminate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after the date that is immediately before the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant.  Except as otherwise provided in a written employment agreement entered into by and between the Grantee and the Employer, if any, or as set forth in subparagraph 2(b) above, any portion of the Option that is not exercisable in accordance with this Agreement at the time the Grantee ceases to be Employed by, or provide service to, the Employer shall immediately terminate as of the date on which the Grantee ceases to be Employed by, or provide service to, the Employer.

4. Exercise Procedures .  

(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Grantee may exercise part or all of the exercisable Option by giving the Company written notice of intent to exercise in the manner provided in this Agreement, specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option is to be exercised and the method of payment.  Payment of the exercise price shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Board from time to time based on type of payment being made but, in any event, prior to issuance of the Shares.  The Grantee shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) unless the Board determines otherwise, by delivering Shares owned by the Grantee and having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of exercise at least equal to the exercise price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Board) to ownership of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, (iv) through a net exercise of the Option whereby the Grantee instructs the Employer to withhold that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option being exercised and deliver to the Grantee the remainder of the Shares subject to such exercise, or (v) by such other method as the Board may approve.  The Board may impose from time to time such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of Shares to exercise the Option.  

(b) The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Board, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations.    

(c) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Employer as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable.  Subject to Board approval, the tax withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the Option may be satisfied by having Shares withheld in accordance with procedures established by the Board.

5. Change of Control .  Except as otherwise provided in a written employment agreement entered into by and between the Grantee and the Employer, if any, or as set forth in subparagraph 2(b) above, the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Option, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Board may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

6. Restrictions on Exercise .  Except as the Board may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, only the Grantee may exercise the Option during the Grantee’s lifetime and, after the Grantee’s death, the Option shall be exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to this Agreement.

7. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions .  This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan.  The grant and exercise of the Option are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company and (d) other requirements of applicable law.  The Board shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Option pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.  By accepting this Option, the Grantee acknowledges that all the decisions and determinations of the Board shall be final and binding on the Grantee, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under the Option.  The Grantee acknowledges receipt of the Plan and the Plan prospectus, which are available on the Company’s internal X drive (or successor drive); provided that paper copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus are available upon request by contacting Human Resources (609) 359-3020.

8. No Employment or Other Rights .  The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time.  The right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

9. No Stockholder Rights .  Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the Grantee’s rights in the event of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, until certificates for Shares have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

10. Assignment and Transfers .  Except as the Board may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Grantee under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Grantee, and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void.  The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Grantee’s consent.

11. Complete Agreement .  This Agreement will become effective as of the Date of Grant.  This Agreement records the final, complete, and exclusive understanding of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and, except with respect to any written employment agreement by and between the Grantee and the Employer, supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, representation, or understanding, whether oral or written, by either of them, relating to the matters addressed herein.

5. Change of Control .  Except as otherwise provided in a written employment agreement entered into by and between the Grantee and the Employer, if any, or as set forth in Paragraph 3(b) above, the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Board may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT SUMMARY OF GRANT

 

Antares Pharma, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its Equity Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), hereby grants to the individual listed below (the “Grantee”), this performance stock unit award representing the target number of performance stock units set forth below (the “Performance Stock Units”) that may become earned and vested by the Grantee based on the level of achievement of the Performance Goals.  The actual number of Performance Stock Units earned and vested will be based on the actual performance level achieved with respect to the Performance Goals set forth on Schedule A .  The Performance Stock Units are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement”) and the Plan, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and made part hereof.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Performance Stock Unit Summary of Grant (the “Summary of Grant”) and the Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.  

 

Grantee :

[__________________________]

Date of Grant :

[_____]

Target Award :

[______] Performance Stock Units

Performance Period :

As set forth on Schedule A , the period beginning on [_______] and ending on [_____] (the “Performance Period”).

Performance Goals :

The Performance Goals are based on the [___] performance measures set forth on Schedule A .

 

DB1/ 105264189.1


 

Vesting Schedule :

The Performance Stock Units will become earned and vested based on the performance level achieved with respect to the Performance Goals and the Grantee’s continued employment or service with the Employer through the last day of the Performance Period (each such day, a “Vesting Date”).  

The number of Performance Stock Units set forth above is equal to the target number of shares of Company Stock that the Grantee will earn and become vested in for 100% achievement of the Performance Goals (referred to as the “Target Award”).  The actual number of shares of Company Stock that the Grantee will become earned and vested in with respect to the Performance Stock Units may be greater or less than the Target Award, or even zero, and will be based on the performance level achieved by the Company with respect to the Performance Goals, as set forth on Schedule A .  Performance Stock Units can be earned and vested with respect to some or all of the Performance Goals.  Performance level is measured based on the threshold, target and maximum performance levels set forth on Schedule A .  Each performance level is calculated as a percentage of target level performance.  Threshold performance level is 50% of target, target performance level is 100% of target and maximum performance level is 150% of target.  If actual performance with

respect to the [_______] Performance Goals is between threshold and maximum performance levels, the number of Performance Stock Units earned and vested with respect to those Performance Goals, if any, will be interpolated on a straight line basis for pro-rata achievement of the Performance Goal.  Failure to achieve the threshold performance level with respect to any Performance Goal will result in no Performance Stock Units being earned and vested with respect to that Performance Goal.  Any fractional Performance Stock Units resulting from the vesting of the Performance Stock Units in accordance with the terms herein shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.  

In the event a Change of Control occurs while the Grantee is employed by, or providing service to, the Employer, the Performance Stock Units will vest as if target performance had been achieved as to each Performance Goal, such that the Target Award is deemed fully earned and vested as of the date of the Change of Control.  

Issuance Schedule :

The Grantee will receive a distribution with respect to the Performance Stock Units earned and vested pursuant to this Performance Stock Unit Award, if any, within 60 days following the applicable Vesting Date (each, a “Payment Date”); provided, however, that such distribution will be made not later than March 15 of the fiscal year following the applicable Vesting Date.  Distribution will be made with respect to the Performance Stock Units on the Payment Date in shares of Company Stock, with each Performance Stock Unit earned and vested equivalent to one share of Company Stock.  In no event shall any fractional shares be issued.  Although performance with respect to some or all of the Performance Goals may be achieved at or above the threshold performance level during the Performance Period, the Grantee must be employed by, or providing service, to the Employer on the applicable Vesting Date in order to earn and vest in the Performance Stock Units, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

Grantee Acceptance :

By signing the acknowledgement below, the Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement and this Summary of Grant and accepts the Performance Stock Units following the date of the Company’s notification to the Grantee of the award of the Performance Stock Units (the “Notification Date”).   The Grantee will accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan, this Summary of Grant or the Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement.  

The Grantee acknowledges delivery of a copy of the Plan and the Plan prospectus, which are available on the Company’s internal X drive (or successor drive), together with this Summary of Grant and the Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement.  Additional copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus are available upon request by contacting Human Resources at (609) 359-3020.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Grantee may exercise part or all of the exercisable Option by giving the Company written notice of intent to exercise in the manner provided in this Agreement, specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option is to be exercised and the method of payment.  Payment of the exercise price shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Board from time to time based on type of payment being made but, in any event, prior to issuance of the Shares.  The Grantee shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) unless the Board determines otherwise, by delivering Shares owned by the Grantee and having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of exercise at least equal to the exercise price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Board) to ownership of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, (iv) through a net exercise of the Option whereby the

Grantee instructs the Employer to withhold that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option being exercised and deliver to the Grantee the remainder of the Shares subject to such exercise, or (v) by such other method as the Board may approve.  The Board may impose from time to time such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of Shares to exercise the Option.  

(b) The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Board, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations.    

(c) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Employer as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable.  Subject to Board approval, the tax withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the Option may be satisfied by having Shares withheld in accordance with procedures established by the Board.

5. Change of Control .  Except as otherwise set forth in subparagraph 2(b) above, the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Option, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Board may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

6. Restrictions on Exercise .  Except as the Board may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, only the Grantee may exercise the Option during the Grantee’s lifetime and, after the Grantee’s death, the Option shall be exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to this Agreement.

7. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions .  This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan.  The grant and exercise of the Option are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company and (d) other requirements of applicable law.  The Board shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Option pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder.  By accepting this Option, the Grantee acknowledges that all the decisions and determinations of the Board shall be final and binding on the Grantee, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under the Option.  The Grantee acknowledges receipt of the Plan and the Plan prospectus, which are available on the Company’s internal X drive (or successor drive); provided that paper copies of the Plan and the Plan prospectus are available upon request by contacting Human Resources (609) 359-3020.

8. No Employment or Other Rights .  The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time.  The right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

9. No Stockholder Rights .  Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the Grantee’s rights in the event of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, until certificates for Shares have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

Assignment and Transfers .  Except as the Board may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Grantee under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Grantee, and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void.  The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Grantee’s consent.

11. Complete Agreement .  This Agreement will become effective as of the Date of Grant.  This Agreement records the final, complete, and exclusive understanding of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, representation, or understanding, whether oral or written, by either of them, relating to the matters addressed herein.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR FORM

ANTARES PHARMA, INC.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of ____________, _____ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by Antares Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”), to _______________ (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

The Company maintains the Antares Pharma, Inc. Equity Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of restricted stock units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has decided to grant restricted stock units to the Grantee as an inducement for the Grantee to promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Restricted Stock Unit Grant .  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee ______ restricted stock units (“Stock Units”).  Each Stock Unit shall represent the right of the Grantee to receive a share of Company common stock (“Company Stock”) on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below).  The Grantee accepts the grant of Stock Units and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

2. Restricted Stock Unit Account .  Stock Units represent hypothetical shares of Company Stock and not actual shares of stock.  The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account, as a bookkeeping account on its records, for the Grantee and shall record in such account the number of Stock Units granted to the Grantee.  No shares of Company Stock shall be issued to the Grantee at the time the grant is made, and the Grantee shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Stock Units recorded in the account.  The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this award or the Restricted Stock Unit account established for the Grantee.

3. Vesting of Stock Units .

(a) Service-Based Vesting .  Subject to Paragraphs 3(b) and 3(c) below, the Stock Units will vest in full on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, provided that the Grantee continues to be employed by, or providing service to, the Employer (as defined in the Plan) from the Date of Grant through such first anniversary.

 

DB1/ 104838562.1


 

(b) Death or Disability .  If the Grantee incurs a Disability or dies before the Stock Units are vested in accordance with Paragraph 3(a), the Stock Units will vest in full on the date of the Grantee’s Disability or death, as applicable.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that the Grantee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected to result in death or to last for continuous period of at least 12 months, or the Grantee being determined by the Social Security Administration to be totally disabled, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  

(c) Forfeiture .  Except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 3(b) above, if the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer for any reason before the Stock Units are fully vested in accordance with this Agreement, any Stock Units that have not yet vested shall automatically terminate and be forfeited as of the date on which the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Employer.

4. Redemption .

(a) The Stock Units that become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 above shall be redeemed by the Company on the earliest to occur of the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Grantee’s Disability or the Grantee’s death, as applicable (such date, the “Redemption Date”), or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but not later than 30 days following the Redemption Date, if the Grantee continues to be employed by, or providing service to, the Employer, from the Date of Grant to Redemption Date.  On the Redemption Date, all Stock Units that have become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 will be redeemed and converted to an equivalent number of shares of Company Stock, and the Grantee shall receive a single sum distribution of such shares of Company Stock, which shall be issued under the Plan, subject to any deferral election made by the Grantee and permitted by the Board pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan (any such election, a “Permitted Deferral Election”).  To the extent the Grantee has made a Permitted Deferral Election, the payment terms of such Permitted Deferral Election are hereby incorporated by reference and made part hereof, and will govern the redemption of the Stock Units.

(b) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Employer (as defined in the Plan) as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable.  The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Employer, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Employer to provide for the payment of any federal, state, local or other taxes that the Employer is required to withhold with respect to the Stock Units.

(c) The obligation of the Company to deliver Company Stock shall also be subject to the condition that if at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of shares of Company Stock, the shares may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.  The issuance of shares of Company Stock to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any applicable tax and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.

 

DB1/ 104838562.1


 

5. Change of Control .  The provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) shall apply to the Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Board may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

6. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions .  This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan.  The grant of , and issuance of shares of Company Stock with respect to, the Stock Units are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company, and (d) other requirements of applicable law.  The Board shall have the authority to interpret and construe the grant of Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder and the Grantee’s acceptance of this grant of Stock Units is the Grantee’s agreement to be bound by the interpretations and decisions of the Board with respect to this grant and the Plan.

7. No Employment or Other Rights .  This Agreement shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Employer to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved.

8. No Stockholder Rights .  Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the Grantee’s rights in the event of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Stock Units, until certificates for shares have been issued upon redemption of the Stock Units.

9. Assignment and Transfers .  The rights and interests of the Grantee under this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Stock Units or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Agreement, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Stock Units by notice to the Grantee, and the Stock Units and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void.  The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Company without the Grantee’s consent.

10. Complete Agreement.   This Agreement will become effective as of the Date of Grant.  Each executed counterpart of this Agreement will constitute an original document and, all of them, together, will constitute the same agreement.  This Agreement records the final, complete, and exclusive understanding of the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein (except for a Permitted Deferral Election), and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, representation, or understanding, whether oral or written, by either of them, relating to the matters addressed herein (other than a Permitted Deferral Election).  

 

DB1/ 104838562.1


 

11. Applicable Law .  The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

12. Section 409A of the Code .  Absent a Permitted Deferral Election, this Agreement is not intended to constitute or result in deferred compensation subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  However, to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement is determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be administered in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code.  In such case, distributions made under this Agreement may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by section 409A of the Code  To the extent that any provision of this Agreement would cause a conflict with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of this Agreement to fail to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law.  E xcept for any Permitted Deferral Election, the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of redemption.  This Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Grantee in any respect deemed by the Board to be necessary in order to preserve compliance with section 409A of the Code.  All distributions pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed as a separate payment.  

13. Notice .  Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of the General Counsel at the corporate headquarters of the Company, and any notice to the Grantee shall be addressed to such Grantee at the current address shown on the payroll of the Employer, or to such other address as the Grantee may designate to the Employer in writing.  Any notice shall be delivered by hand, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.
