NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

 

estimates regarding the annual total addressable market for our Precision Flow systems and future product offerings, future results of operations, financial position, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing;

our business model and strategic plans for our products, technologies and business, including our implementation thereof;

 

our ability to accurately forecast customer demand for our products and manage our production and inventory, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;

 

our ability to expand, manage and maintain our direct sales and marketing organizations in the United States and United Kingdom, and to market and sell our Precision Flow systems globally and to expand our limited release and eventually market and sell our Oxygen Assist Module in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East;

 

our ability to hire and retain our senior management and other highly qualified personnel;

 

our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;

 

our ability to commercialize or obtain regulatory approvals for our products, or the effect of delays in commercializing or obtaining regulatory approvals;

the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals;

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 5, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 4, 2020, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings with the SEC. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

We use “Vapotherm,” “Precision Flow,” “High Velocity Therapy,” “HVT,” “Hi-VNI,” “OAM,” and other marks as trademarks in the United States and/or in other countries. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains references to our trademarks and service marks and to those belonging to other entities. Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including logos, artwork and other visual displays, may appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate in any way that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the rights of the applicable licensor to these trademarks and trade names. We do not intend our use or display of other entities’ trade names, trademarks or service marks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other entity.

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations, market position and market opportunity, is based on our management’s estimates and research, as well as industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. We believe that the information from these third-party publications, research, surveys and studies included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is reliable. Management’s estimates are derived from publicly available information, their knowledge of our industry and their assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations which are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 5, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 4, 2020, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Vapotherm,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to Vapotherm, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary unless stated or the context otherwise requires.

1. Description of Business

Vapotherm, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded in 1993 and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2013. Since inception, the Company has focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary High Velocity Therapy products that are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress. The Company’s High Velocity Therapy delivers non-invasive ventilatory support by providing heated, humidified and oxygenated air at a high velocity to patients through a comfortable small-bore nasal interface. The Company’s Precision Flow systems, which use High Velocity Therapy, are clinically validated alternatives to, and address many limitations of, the current standard of care for the treatment of respiratory distress in a hospital setting.

The Company offers four versions of its Precision Flow systems: Precision Flow Hi-VNI, Precision Flow Plus, Precision Flow Classic and Precision Flow Heliox. The Company generates revenue from sales of its Precision Flow systems and related disposable products utilized with its Precision Flow systems. The Company also generates revenue from sales of its Precision Flow system’s companion products, which include the Vapotherm Transfer Unit 2.0, the Q50 compressor and various adaptors. The Company offers different options to its hospital customers for acquiring Precision Flow capital units, ranging from the purchase of the Precision Flow capital units with payment in full at the time of purchase, to financed purchases of the Precision Flow capital units, to bundled discounts involving the placement of Precision Flow capital units for use by the customer at no upfront charge in connection with the customer’s ongoing purchase of disposable products.

The Company sells Precision Flow systems to hospitals through a direct sales force in the United States and in the United Kingdom and through distributors in select other countries outside of the United States and United Kingdom. In addition, the Company utilizes clinical educators who are typically experienced users of high velocity therapy and who focus on medical education efforts to facilitate adoption and increase utilization. The Company is focused on physicians, respiratory therapists and nurses who work in acute hospital settings, including the emergency department (“ED”) and adult, pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (the “ICUs”). The Company’s relationship with these clinicians is particularly important, as it enables its products to follow patients through the care continuum.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The Company’s high velocity therapy is a first-line therapy for treating respiratory distress, which is experienced by many COVID-19 patients. The Journal of the American Medical Association published data from mainland China in April 2020 suggesting that 19% of all COVID-19 patients experience respiratory distress and require some amount of respiratory support. The Company’s hospital customers around the world are using the Company’s technology to support the respiratory distress experienced by many COVID-19 patients so that they can triage their sickest patients using a limited number of ventilators. As a result, the Company has seen a significant increase in worldwide demand for its products from both new and existing accounts in the first nine months of 2020.

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through public offerings of its common stock, private placements of its convertible preferred stock, sales of its Precision Flow systems and amounts borrowed under its credit facilities. The Company has devoted the majority of its resources to research and development activities related to its Precision Flow systems, including regulatory initiatives and sales and marketing activities. The Company has invested heavily in its sales and marketing function by increasing the number of sales representatives and clinical educators to facilitate adoption and increase utilization of its high velocity therapy products and expanded its digital marketing initiatives and medical education programs.

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to, risks relating to the successful development and commercialization of its Precision Flow products, fluctuations in operating results and financial risks, protection of proprietary knowledge and patent risks, dependence on key personnel and collaborative partners, competition, technological and manufacturing risks, customer acceptance and demand, compliance with the Food and Drug Administration and other governmental regulations, management of growth and effectiveness of marketing by the Company and by third parties.

On November 16, 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering of 4,600,000 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $14.00 per share, which raised net proceeds of $57.4 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $4.5 million and offering expenses of $2.5 million.

On February 28, 2019, the Company acquired Solus Medical Ltd. (“Solus”), its United Kingdom based distributor. See Note 3 “Business Combinations” to these condensed consolidated financial statements for details of this transaction.

In August 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 3,570,750 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 465,750 shares of common stock, at a price of $14.50 per share, which raised net proceeds of $48.3 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $3.1 million and offering expenses of $0.4 million.

On December 20, 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), under which the Company may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Jefferies as its sales agents. During April 2020, the Company sold 511,648 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement for gross proceeds of $10.2 million, or $9.8 million net of commissions and offering expenses.

In May 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 3,852,500 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 502,500 shares of common stock, at a price of $26.00 per share, which raised net proceeds of $93.8 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $6.0 million and offering expenses of $0.3 million.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). Our accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2019 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this report. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Solus, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in the United Kingdom, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2019. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company globally manages the business within one reporting segment, Vapotherm, Inc. and two reporting units, Vapotherm and Solus. Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance.

 

The majority of the Company’s long-term assets are located in the United States. Long-term assets located outside the United States totaled $0.1 million as of each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include calculation of stock-based compensation, valuation of warrants, fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill and intangibles assets, realizability of inventories, allowance for bad debts, accrued expenses and the valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are also unaudited. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Reclassification

Certain amounts in 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in 2020. None of the reclassifications had any impact to the Company’s results of operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s financial instruments were comprised of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt, the carrying amounts of which approximated fair value due to their short-term nature and market interest rates. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at creditworthy financial institutions. At September 30, 2020, deposits exceed the amount of any federal depositary insurance provided.

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business but typically does not require collateral or any other security to support amounts due. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of the Company’s customers. An allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts is provided based on history, economic conditions, and composition of the accounts receivable aging. In some cases, the Company makes allowances for specific customers based on these and other factors. Provisions for the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

Foreign Currency and Foreign Operations

The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the U.S. dollar. For our non-U.S. subsidiary that transacts in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Realized foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in other (expense) income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Unrealized foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company holds restricted cash related to certificates of deposits and collateral in relation to lease agreements. As of September 30, 2020, $0.4 million of our $140.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was located outside the United States.

Product Warranty

 

The Company provides its customers with a standard one-year warranty on its capital equipment sales. Warranty costs are accrued based on actual historical trends and estimated at the time of sale. The warranty liability is included within accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A roll-forward of the Company’s warranty liability from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 is as follows:

Insurance

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company was self-insured for certain obligations related to health insurance. The Company also purchases stop-loss insurance to protect itself from material losses. Judgments and estimates are used in determining the potential value associated with reported claims and for events that have occurred but have not been reported. The Company’s estimates consider expected claim experience and other factors. Receivables for insurance recoveries are recorded as assets, on an undiscounted basis. The Company’s liabilities are based on estimates, and, while the Company believes that its accruals are adequate, the ultimate liability may be significantly different from the amounts recorded. Changes in claims experience, the Company’s ability to settle claims or other estimates and judgments used by management could have a material impact on the amount and timing of expense for any period.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sale of products, leases and services. Product revenue consists of capital equipment and single-use disposables that are shipped and billed to customers both domestically and internationally. The Company’s main capital equipment products are the Precision Flow Hi-VNI, Precision Flow Plus, Precision Flow Classic, Vapotherm Transfer Unit 2.0 and Q50 compressor. The Company’s main disposable products are single-use disposables and nasal interfaces, or cannulas, and adaptors. Lease revenue consists of two components which include capital equipment that the Company leases out to its customers and, in certain situations, an allocation from disposable revenue to other lease revenue upon the sale of disposable products in bundled arrangements involving the placement of Precision Flow capital units for use by the customer at no upfront charge in connection with the customer’s ongoing purchase of disposable products. Service revenue consists of fees associated with routine service of capital units and the sale of extended service contracts and preventative maintenance plans, which are purchased by a small portion of the Company’s customer base. In addition, the Company sells small quantities of component parts in the United States, United Kingdom and to third-party international service centers who provide service on Precision Flow capital units outside of the United States and United Kingdom. Freight revenue is based upon actual freight costs plus a percentage markup of such costs associated with the shipment of products domestically, and to a lesser extent, internationally, and is included in service revenue. Rebates and fees consist of contractually obligated administrative fees and percentage-of-sales rebates paid to Group Purchasing Organizations (“GPOs”), Integrated Delivery Networks (“IDNs”) and distributor partners and accounted for as a reduction of service revenue.

Under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct and determines those that are performance obligations. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales, value-added, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally 30 days from the date of sale.

Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines stand-alone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the stand-alone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the stand-alone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.

The Company’s contracts with its customers have a duration of less than one year. Therefore, the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Lease Revenue

The Company also enters into agreements to lease its capital equipment. For such sales, the Company accounts for revenue under ASC 840, Leases, and assesses and classifies these transactions as sales-type or operating leases based on whether the lease transfers ownership of the equipment to the lessee by the end of the lease term. This criterion is met in situations in which the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title at or shortly after the end of the lease term. Equipment included in arrangements including transfer of title are accounted for as sales-type leases and the Company recognizes the total value of the lease payments due over the lease term to revenue at the inception of the lease. The Company records the current value of future lease payments under prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; these amounts totaled $1.7 and $0.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Equipment included in arrangements that do not include the transfer of title, nor any of the capital lease criteria, are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis as it becomes receivable monthly over the term of the lease.

The Company also enters into agreements involving the placement of Precision Flow capital units for use by the customer at no upfront charge in connection with the customer’s ongoing purchase of disposable products. In these bundled arrangements, revenue recognized for the sale of the disposables is allocated between disposable revenue and other lease revenue based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling prices of the individual performance obligations.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in service revenue. Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of sales. The total costs of shipping and handling for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.6 and $0.2 million, respectively. Shipping and handling costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $1.7 and $0.7 million, respectively.

Sales and Value-Added Taxes

When required by local jurisdictions, the Company bills its customers for sales tax and value-added tax calculated on each sales invoice and records a liability for the sales and value-added tax payable, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Sales tax and value-added tax billed to a customer are not included in the Company’s revenue.

Timing and Amount of Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales and service of its capital equipment and product sales of disposables to its end users in the United States and United Kingdom and to its distribution partners in other international markets. In each instance, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which generally occurs at a point in time upon shipment based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.

Product and service revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value amount method to which the Company expects to be entitled. As such, revenue on sales is recorded net of prompt pay discounts and payments made to GPOs, IDNs and distributors. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price is based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company believes that the estimates it has established are reasonable based upon current facts and circumstances. Applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances could result in different estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains an equity incentive plan to provide long-term incentives for employees, consultants, and members of the board of directors. The plan allows for the issuance of non-statutory and incentive stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units, including restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees and non-employees based on the grant date fair value of those awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all equity-based compensation awards, including grants of restricted shares and stock options, to be recognized as expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss based on their grant date fair values.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. For performance-based awards, the related compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on an accelerated attribution basis. Compensation cost associated with performance awards is based on fair value on the date of grant and the number of units expected to be earned after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met and the associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved. Cumulative adjustments are recorded each quarter to reflect estimated outcomes of the performance-related conditions until the results are determined and settled. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs, including the expected life (weighted average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company’s common stock and an assumed risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on historical volatility of a group of publicly traded companies that the Company considers a peer group. The expected life is estimated using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with a remaining term that approximates the expected life assumed at the date of grant. No dividend yield is assumed as the Company does not pay, and does not expect to pay, dividends on its common stock. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience with pre-vested forfeitures. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the estimate, the difference is recorded to compensation expense in the period of the forfeiture.

The Company recognizes stock-based expense for shares issued pursuant to its 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) on a straight-line basis over the related offering period. The Company estimates the fair value of shares to be issued under the ESPP based on a combination of options valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life is determined based on the contractual term. Dividend yield and forfeiture rates are estimated in a manner similar to option grants described above and expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility.

 

Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties.

The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the United States, New Hampshire and the United Kingdom. There is no provision or benefit for income taxes for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019 because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its United States net deferred tax assets.

Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and reduce taxes, respectively. The Company has not currently completed an evaluation of ownership changes through September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 to assess whether utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. To the extent an ownership change is determined to have occurred under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to limitation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use the adoption dates applicable to private companies. As a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective date for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. The Company expects it will no longer qualify as an EGC as of December 31, 2020 and, at that time, will begin to adopt certain accounting pronouncements at dates applicable to public companies.

Leases (Topic 842):

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard clarifies the definitions of a lease, requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications, and causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of more than twelve months. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2018-11”) which provided another transition method in addition to the existing transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842), which defers the effective date for ASU 2016-02 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for private companies or EGCs following private company adoption dates. The standard was effective for public companies for periods beginning after December 31, 2018. The new standard originally required a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of the initial application. The Company expects to adopt the new standard in the fourth quarter of 2020 with an effective date of January 1, 2020. The Company is in the process of adopting the new standard, including evaluating the changes that will be required under this standard to its future financial reporting and disclosures, and the Company has designed and implemented related processes and controls to address these changes. The Company expects the most significant effects of adoption to relate to (1) the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the Company’s facilities and certain other operating leases; and (2) the need to provide new disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

 

Credit Losses (Topic 326):

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842), which defers the effective date for ASU 2016-13 to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for private companies, EGCs following private company adoption dates, or public entities meeting the definition of smaller reporting companies as of the date of issuance of this update. The Company has not yet determined the effects, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

 

3. Business Combinations

On February 28, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding equity securities of Solus, whose principal assets included intangible assets related to supplier agreements. The Company undertook the acquisition to accelerate its penetration in the United Kingdom market. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $2.0 million was funded with an initial cash payment of approximately $1.6 million and a settlement of a $0.4 million receivable from a preexisting relationship. Additionally, the Company recognized $1.0 million in contingent consideration as compensation expense during 2019 and expects to recognize contingent consideration of $1.2 million as compensation expense in 2020. The acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions.

In determining the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the opportunity provided by a customer agreement with the National Health Service. The fair value of the intangible assets associated with this agreement were estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to only the subject intangible assets after deducting contributory asset charges. An income and expenses forecast was built based upon specific intangible asset revenue and expense estimates.

The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for each intangible asset was based upon a weighted average cost of capital calculation. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the assets acquired from Solus.

The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets is approximately 3.83 years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such assets. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the market expansion opportunity in the United Kingdom. The goodwill attributable to the United Kingdom jurisdiction is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has included the financial results of Solus in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $0.2 million and were recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred during 2019.

4. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company generally defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s cash equivalents primarily consist of money market deposits, which totaled approximately $123.2 million at September 30, 2020 and are valued based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As described in Note 8 “Debt”, during 2019, the Company granted warrants to purchase 19,789 shares of common stock in connection with an amendment to its financing arrangement. These equity-classified warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

8. Debt

Revolving Credit Line

On November 16, 2016, the Company entered a Business Financing Agreement (the “Revolver Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation, which replaced its then-existing revolving line of credit. The Revolver Agreement made available $7.0 million of revolving credit upon the closing date. Availability under the Revolver Agreement is calculated based upon 80% of the eligible receivables (net of pre-paid deposits, pre-billed invoices, other offsets, and contras related to each specific account debtor). The original maturity date under the Revolver Agreement was September 30, 2018. The Company refinanced the Revolver Agreement in April 2018 (the “Amended Revolver Agreement”), increasing the line of credit to $7.5 million and extending the maturity date to September 30, 2020. The principal is due upon maturity. On March 22, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended Revolver Agreement (as amended, the “First Amended Revolver Agreement”), which increased the allowable permitted indebtedness under the First Amended Revolver Agreement in connection with the Company’s credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. On July 7, 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended Revolver Agreement (as amended, the “Second Amended Revolver Agreement”), which, under certain circumstances, reduced the amount of funds required to be held on deposit with Western Alliance Bank. On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Amended Revolver Agreement (as amended, the “Third Amended Revolver Agreement”), which extended the maturity date to February 28, 2023. Under the Third Amended Revolver Agreement, interest is required to be paid monthly on the outstanding balance at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in effect from time to time, subject to a floor of 3.25%.

At September 30, 2020 the interest rate was 3.25%. The outstanding balance under the Third Amended Revolver Agreement was $4.5 million at September 30, 2020 and there was $0.8 million remaining availability based on eligible receivables. At December 31, 2019, the interest rate was 6.50%. The outstanding balance under the Third Amended Revolver Agreement was $3.5 million at December 31, 2019 and the remaining availability based on eligible receivables was $0.8 million. The Third Amended Revolver Agreement requires the Company to comply with a minimum liquidity covenant at all times. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Third Amended Revolver Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property.

As discussed in Note 15 “Subsequent Events,” the Company fully repaid and terminated the Third Amended Revolver Agreement on October 21, 2020.

Term Loans

On April 6, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Credit Agreement and Guaranty”) with Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP (“Perceptive”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, a total of $42.5 million was available in three tranches. The first tranche was drawn down in the amount of $20.0 million on the closing date, April 6, 2018, and was used to repay a former loan agreement in full. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted Perceptive warrants to purchase 37,693 shares of Series D preferred stock which were converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants had an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, were exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and would have expired in April 2028.

On July 20, 2018, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, the Company drew down the second tranche of $10.0 million. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted Perceptive warrants to purchase 18,846 shares of Series D preferred stock which were converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants had an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, were exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and would have expired in July 2028.

On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”) with Perceptive. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty, the Company was permitted to draw the final $12.5 million of availability at any time through March 31, 2019 and the minimum 2018 revenue requirement of $43.2 million that was required to draw down the final tranche was eliminated. Concurrently with the closing of the Amendment, the Company drew down $2.0 million of the remaining $12.5 million available. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted to Perceptive warrants to purchase 3,769 shares of its Series D preferred stock which were converted into warrants to

purchase shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants had an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, were exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and would have expired in September 2028.

On March 22, 2019, the Company drew the remaining $10.5 million of availability under the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted Perceptive warrants to purchase 19,789 shares of common stock. The warrants had an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, were exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and would have expired in March 2029.

On March 22, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty increasing the allowable permitted indebtedness in connection with the Company’s credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million.

On June 10, 2020, Perceptive exercised all of its outstanding warrants. See Note 10 “Warrants” for further details.

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”), which amended the prepayment premium by clarifying the methodology for calculating Perceptive’s annualized internal rate of return under the term loan.

Pursuant to the 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty, the outstanding principal amount accrues interest at an annual rate equal to 9.06% plus the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR and (b) 1.75% per year. At September 30, 2020, the interest rate was 10.81%. The outstanding balance, including accretion of the additional final payment due upon maturity and described below, was $42.6 million at September 30, 2020 and there was no remaining availability. The 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property. 

On the maturity date, in addition to the payment of principal and accrued interest, the Company will be required to make a payment of 0.5% of the total amount borrowed under the 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty unless the Company has already made such a payment in connection with an acceleration or prepayment of borrowings under the agreement. In the event the Company prepays all or part of the amounts borrowed under the 2020 Amended Credit and Guaranty prior to the maturity date, the Company will be subject to additional prepayment fees which decrease as the time to maturity decreases. The 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty requires the Company to comply with a minimum liquidity covenant at all times and a minimum revenue covenant measured at the end of each fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The annual principal maturities of the Company’s term loans as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

In connection with our initial public offering in November 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted the ESPP and a total of 166,500 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP is increased on the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2019 and each year thereafter until 2028 by the lessor of (i) 1% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, and (ii) the number of shares of common stock determined by the Company’s board of directors up to such an initial maximum of 1,741,300 shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock reserved under the plan at September 30, 2020 totals 512,048.

 

The ESPP provides for successive discrete offering periods of approximately six months or as determined by the plan administrator. The first offering period began on January 2, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, 36,389 shares of common stock were purchased by employees under the ESPP at a price of $9.88 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $0.4 million.

The ESPP permits eligible employees to elect to purchase shares of common stock through fixed whole percentage contributions from eligible compensation during each offering period, not to exceed 10% of the eligible compensation a participant receives during an offering period and not to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair value of the stock (determined on the grant date(s)) for each calendar year. A participant may purchase the lower of (a) a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing such participant’s accumulated payroll deductions on the exercise date by the option price, (b) 5,000 shares, or (c) such other lesser maximum number of shares as shall have been established by the plan administrator.

 

Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant will be used to purchase shares of common stock at the end of each offering period. The purchase price of the shares will be 85% of the lower of the fair value of common stock on the first trading day of each offering period or on the purchase date. Participants may end their participation during an offering period up to ten days in advance of the exercise date and will be paid their accumulated contributions that have not been used to purchase shares of common stock. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment.

15. Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Innovation Banking (“CIBC”) (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $12.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”) and a term loan facility of $40.0 million (the “Term Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”). The proceeds of the Facilities were used to repay the Company’s existing revolving loan facility and term loan facility and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Revolving Facility will mature on October 21, 2022 and may be renewed on an annual basis thereafter by mutual agreement of the Company and CIBC. The Term Facility will mature on October 21, 2025. Advances under the Facilities shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to, (i) in the case of the Revolving Facility, the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 1.0% and (ii) in the case of the Term Facility, the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5%. In each case, the WSJ Prime Rate is subject to a floor of 3.25%. The Loan Agreement provides for interest-only payments on the Term Facility for the first thirty-six months following the Closing Date. Thereafter, amortization payments on the Term Facility will be payable monthly in twenty-four equal installments. The Term Facility may not be prepaid prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date without prepaying all of the interest that otherwise would have been payable on the Term Facility during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date plus a prepayment charge of 2.0%. Thereafter, the Term Facility may be prepaid in full, subject to a prepayment charge of (i) 2.0%, if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) 1.0%, if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The Facilities are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, including intellectual property.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants and representations, including, without limitation, a minimum revenue covenant equal to 80% of each year’s annual operating plan (tested on a trailing twelve month basis at the end of each fiscal quarter) and other financial covenants, reporting obligations, and limitations on dispositions, changes in business or ownership, mergers or acquisitions, indebtedness, encumbrances, distributions and investments, transactions with affiliates and capital expenditures.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Some of the numbers included herein have been rounded for the convenience of presentation. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 5, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 4, 2020, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Vapotherm, Inc. is a global medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of our proprietary High Velocity Therapy products that are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress. Our High Velocity Therapy delivers non-invasive ventilatory support by providing heated, humidified and oxygenated air at a high velocity to patients through a comfortable small-bore nasal interface. Our Precision Flow systems, which use High Velocity Therapy, are clinically validated alternatives to, and address many limitations of, the current standard of care for the treatment of respiratory distress in a hospital setting. As of September 30, 2020, more than 2.5 million patients have been treated with our Precision Flow systems, and we have a global installed base of over 24,000 capital units.

The efficacy of Vapotherm’s products is supported by a significant body of clinical evidence across multiple patient populations suffering from respiratory distress. We have developed the only high velocity nasal insufflation device clinically validated as an alternative to non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (“NIPPV”) while addressing many of its limitations, evidenced in part by our sponsored 204 patient, multisite randomized controlled trial in the emergency department (“ED”) which was published in the July 2018 issue of Annals of Emergency Medicine. Additionally, in April 2020 Heart and Lung, the Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, published a subgroup analysis from this ED study that showed High Velocity Therapy may provide ventilatory support similar to NIPPV in patients presenting with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Vapotherm’s High Velocity Therapy is a first-line therapy for treating respiratory distress, which is experienced by many COVID-19 patients. The Journal of the American Medical Association published data from mainland China in April 2020 suggesting that 19% of all COVID-19 patients experience respiratory distress and require some amount of respiratory support. Our hospital customers around the world are using our technology to treat the respiratory distress experienced by many COVID-19 patients so that they can triage their sickest patients to a limited number of ventilators. As a result, we have seen a significant increase in worldwide demand for our products from both new and existing accounts in the first nine months of 2020. Our operations team, with support from our primarily domestic supply chain, has significantly increased our theoretical maximum production capacity. Looking ahead, our focus is on managing our production levels and supply chain to meet customer demand during this pandemic. The recent increase in demand for our products has been accompanied by gross profit headwinds, such as increases in air freight costs and expediting fees for components, a higher mix of capital equipment and international revenue, and many related risks to our business. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to treat or contain COVID-19 or to otherwise limit its impact, among others.

 

We currently offer four versions of our Precision Flow systems: Precision Flow Hi-VNI, Precision Flow Plus, Precision Flow Classic and Precision Flow Heliox. We also initiated a limited release of our Oxygen Assist Module to certain United Kingdom neonatal intensive care unit accounts in the first quarter of 2020 and to certain adult intensive care unit accounts in Europe and the Middle East in the second quarter of 2020 for adult hypoxic patients, and we expanded those limited releases to additional United Kingdom neonatal and European and Middle Eastern adult intensive care units during the third quarter. The Oxygen Assist Module is designed to be used with all versions of our Precision Flow systems except for the Precision Flow Heliox. Our Oxygen Assist Module is designed to help clinicians maintain the pulse oxygen saturation (“SpO2”) within the target SpO2 range over a significantly greater proportion of time while requiring significantly fewer manual adjustments to the equipment. Maintenance of the prescribed oxygen saturation range may reduce the health risks associated with dosing too much, or too little, oxygen. We intend to further expand the limited release in United Kingdom, European, and Middle Eastern neonatal and adult intensive care units during the fourth quarter and fully launch the Oxygen Assist Module commercially throughout the United Kingdom, and certain European and Middle Eastern countries in the first quarter of 2021, at which time we believe we will begin generating revenue from the product.

 

In the United States, the Oxygen Assist Module was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on April 2, 2020 for the following indication: The Oxygen Assist Module (“OAM”) is an optional module used only with the Vapotherm Precision Flow and is indicated for on-demand titration of oxygen into warm humidified breathing gases

28


 

delivered to spontaneously breathing patients based on continuous non-invasive monitoring of pulse oxygen saturation. OAM is intended to treat pediatric patients (neonates and infants ≥1000g) in monitored clinical environments (e.g., the neonatal intensive care unit, or “NICU). We are continuing to work on an Investigational Device Exemption and, if authorized, plan to initiate a NICU study in the first quarter of 2021.

We generate revenue from sales of our Precision Flow systems and the related disposable products utilized with our Precision Flow systems. To a lesser extent, we generate revenue from sales of the Precision Flow system’s companion products, which include the Vapotherm Transfer Unit 2.0, the Q50 compressor and various adaptors. We offer different options to our hospital customers for acquiring Precision Flow capital units, ranging from the purchase of the Precision Flow capital units with payment in full at the time of purchase, to the financed purchase of Precision Flow capital units, to bundled discounts involving the placement of Precision Flow capital units for use by the customer at no upfront charge in connection with the customer’s ongoing purchase of disposable products.

We sell our Precision Flow systems to hospitals through a direct sales organization in the United States and in the United Kingdom and through distributors in other select countries outside of the United States and United Kingdom. We intend to fully launch our Oxygen Assist Module commercially throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East in the first quarter of 2021 through a direct sales organization in the United Kingdom and through distributors in other select countries in Europe and the Middle East. In addition, we have clinical educators who are experienced users of High Velocity Therapy and who focus on our medical education efforts to facilitate adoption and increase utilization. We focus on physicians, respiratory therapists and nurses who work in acute hospital settings, including the ED and adult, pediatric and neonatal ICUs. Our relationship with these clinicians is particularly important, as it enables our products to follow patients through the care continuum. We have sold our Precision Flow systems to over 1,600 hospitals across the United States, where they have been primarily deployed in the ICU setting.

We assemble our Precision Flow systems in our facility in New Hampshire and we rely on third-party suppliers for a majority of the components of our products, including many single source suppliers. Historically we maintained, and as of the present date we maintain, higher levels of inventory to protect ourselves from supply interruptions, and, as a result, we have been and are currently subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence and expiration, which could lead to inventory impairment charges. At times during the past nine months, however, as we sought to fulfill increased demand in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, there were times when we were not able to carry higher levels of inventory, and as a result, we experienced and potentially in the future may again experience supply interruptions. We currently ship our Precision Flow systems from our facility in New Hampshire directly to our United States customers and many of our international distributors on a purchase order basis. Warehousing and shipping operations for some of our international distributors are handled by a third-party vendor with facilities located in the Netherlands. While our customers have the right to return purchased products subject to a restocking fee, our historical return experience has been immaterial. However, although we have priority shipping status with our carriers, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, shipping delays throughout the United States and internationally, and as a result, there have been and may in the future be delays in our ability to ship our product to customers and distributors in a timely manner, which may potentially result in a greater percentage of returned product than we have historically experienced.

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through public offerings of our common stock, private placements of our convertible preferred stock, sales of our Precision Flow systems and amounts borrowed under our credit facilities. We have devoted the majority of our resources to research and development activities related to our Precision Flow systems including regulatory initiatives and sales and marketing activities. We have invested heavily in our sales and marketing function by increasing the number of sales representatives and clinical educators to facilitate adoption and increase utilization of our High Velocity Therapy products and expanded our digital marketing initiatives and medical education programs. For the third quarter of 2020, we generated revenue of $30.6 million and had a net loss of $12.4 million compared to revenue of $10.8 million and a net loss of $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. Our accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2020 was $299.8 million. In the third quarter of 2020, 83.5% of our revenue was derived in the United States and 16.5% was derived outside the United States. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization by increasing the number of U.S. sales representatives and clinical educators, expanding our international marketing programs and expanding direct to clinician digital marketing efforts to help facilitate further adoption among existing hospital accounts as well as broaden awareness of our products to new hospitals. We also expect to continue to make investments in research and development, regulatory affairs and clinical studies to develop future generations of our High Velocity Therapy products, support regulatory submissions and demonstrate the clinical efficacy of our new products. In addition, as we seek to maintain our current increased production capacity and explore further expansion thereof to satisfy COVID-19 related demand, we expect to continue to make investments in our production capabilities. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur net losses for the next several years and we may require additional funding, which may include future equity, including sales under our at-the-market sales agreement with Jefferies LLC dated December 20, 2019 under which we may offer and sell from time to time our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million, and debt financings. During April 2020, the Company sold 511,648 shares of its common stock through its at-the-market stock offering

29


 

program. The sales generated net proceeds of approximately $9.8 million, net of sales commissions and offering expenses. As of September 30, 2020, there was approximately $39.7 million in remaining capacity under the at-the-market stock offering program.

Revenue increased $19.8 million, or 182.7%, to $30.6 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $13.2 million and $5.2 million increase in capital equipment and disposable revenue, respectively. Capital equipment revenue increased 641.8% in the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to increased sales of our Precision Flow units due to increased demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased average selling prices in the United States. Disposable revenue increased 66.7% in the third quarter of 2020 primarily driven by an increase in the worldwide installed base of Precision Flow units and increased utilization due to the COVID-19 pandemic and higher average selling prices in the United States. Lease revenue also increased primarily due to a higher volume of leases of our Precision Flow units and, to a lesser extent, due to higher utilization of disposables for Precision Flow units under placement arrangements.

Revenue increased $49.7 million, or 141.7%, to $84.8 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $35.1 million for the first nine months of 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $32.8 million and $13.3 million increase in capital equipment and disposable revenue, respectively. Capital equipment revenue increased 489.0% in the first nine months of 2020 primarily due to increased sales of our Precision Flow units as a result of increased demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased average selling prices in the United States and International. Disposable revenue increased 52.3% in the first nine months of 2020 primarily driven by an increase in the worldwide installed base of Precision Flow units and higher utilization due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both United States and International revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in the number of Precision Flow units sold year over year due to COVID-19 as well as an increase in single-use disposable sales due to higher installed bases of Precision Flow units and higher disposable utilization.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

 

Cost of revenue increased $9.1 million, or 150.9%, to $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2019. Cost of revenue increased $22.8 million, or 116.3%, to $42.5 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to $19.6 million in the first nine months of 2019. These increases were primarily due to higher materials and labor costs due to a rapid increase in sales volumes of our Precision Flow units and disposables in order to meet demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit increased to 50.8% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 44.5% in the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit increased to 49.9% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 44.0% in the first nine months of 2019. Gross profit was positively impacted by improved overhead absorption due to higher production volumes, partially offset by higher labor costs, increased supplier freight and expediting fees to meet the rapid increase in production capacity, and a higher mix of Precision Flow system sales. Gross profit was also positively impacted by higher average selling prices of capital equipment in the United States, partially offset by lower average selling prices of disposables in International markets.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $1.5 million, or 44.7%, to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 15.5% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 30.3% in the third quarter of 2019.

Research and development expenses increased $2.3 million, or 23.5%, to $12.0 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to $9.7 million in the first nine months of 2019. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 14.1% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 27.7% in the first nine months of 2019.

The increase in research and development expenses in both comparison periods was due to increased product development and prototype costs associated with the development of our future generation High Velocity systems and increased employee-related expenses and stock-based compensation.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased $6.7 million, or 73.3%, to $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 52.1% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 85.0% in the third quarter of 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $16.3 million, or 58.7%, to $44.1 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to $27.8 million in the first nine months of 2019. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 52.0% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 79.2% in the first nine months of 2019.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses in both comparison periods was primarily due to increased sales commissions as a result of increased revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic along with increases in the size of the sales and marketing organization and increased stock-based compensation, partially offset by a reduction in travel expenses due to COVID-19. Additionally, the increase in sales and marketing expenses during the first nine months of 2020 was also partially offset by a reduction in marketing initiatives such as trade shows and training costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 52.0%, to $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2019. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 19.8% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 36.8% in the third quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million, or 26.4%, to $16.9 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to $13.4 million in the first nine months of 2019. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 20.0% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 38.2% in the first nine months of 2019.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in both comparison periods was primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses, stock-based compensation, audit and compliance related costs, legal costs and insurance. Additionally, the increase in general and administrative expenses during the first nine months of 2020 was related to increased bank services charges and reserves for bad debt due to increased revenue, partially offset by a reduction in travel expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net increased $0.1 million, or 9.3%, to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2019. Other expense, net increased $0.4 million, or 14.5%, to $3.6 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2019. The increase in other expense, net in the third quarter of 2020 was due to decreased interest income primarily due to lower interest rates on invested balances, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings. The increase in other expense, net in the first nine months of 2020 was due to a decreased interest income primarily due to lower interest rates on invested balances and an increase in interest expense primarily related to additional borrowings under our credit facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $140.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $299.8 million. Our primary sources of capital to date have been from public offerings of our common stock, private placements of our since-converted preferred stock, sales of our Precision Flow systems and amounts borrowed under credit facilities. Since inception, we have raised a total of $162.6 million in net proceeds from private placements of our convertible preferred stock. On November 16, 2018, we completed an initial public offering of 4,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, which raised net proceeds of $57.4 million. In August 2019, we completed a public offering of 3,570,750 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 465,750 shares of common stock, at a price of $14.50 per share, which raised net proceeds of $48.3 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $3.1 million and offering expenses of $0.4 million.

On December 20, 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) under which the Company may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Jefferies as its sales agents. During April 2020, we sold 511,648 shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement for gross proceeds of $10.2 million, or $9.8 million net of commissions and offering expenses.

In May 2020, we completed a public offering of 3,852,500 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 502,500 shares of common stock, at a price of $26.00 per share, which raised net proceeds of $93.8 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $6.0 million and offering expenses of $0.3 million.

As of September 30, 2020, we had $4.5 million of outstanding borrowings and $0.8 million of availability under the Third Amended Revolver Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, we had $42.6 million of term debt outstanding under our 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty.

On October 21, 2020, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Innovation Banking (“CIBC”) (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $12.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”) and a term loan facility of $40.0 million (the “Term Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”). The proceeds of the Facilities were used to repay our existing revolving loan facility and term loan facility and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

We believe that our existing cash resources and availability under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements and fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or make additional borrowings under our existing line of credit facility or enter new debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders would experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. Additional financing may not be available at all, or may be available only in amounts or on terms unacceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to delay the development, commercialization and marketing of our Precision Flow systems and Oxygen Assist Module.

The net cash used in operating activities was $28.5 million in the first nine months of 2019 and consisted primarily of a net loss of $38.6 million, partially offset by a decrease of $5.2 million in net operating assets and $4.9 million in non-cash charges. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019 consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $5.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. In addition, the net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2019 included $1.6 million to acquire Solus.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $105.5 million in the first nine months of 2020 and consisted of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with public and at-the-market offerings of $94.2 and $9.9 million, respectively, borrowings of $1.0 million under our short-term line of credit, and proceeds from common stock issuances in connection with our ESPP and stock option exercises of $0.4 and $0.5 million, respectively, partially offset by common stock offering costs of $0.5 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $58.6 million in the first nine months of 2019 and consisted of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with a public offering of $48.7 million, net proceeds from borrowings of $10.2 million under our credit facilities, and proceeds from common stock issuances in connection with stock option exercises and purchases of restricted stock of $0.4 million, partially offset by common stock offering costs of $0.4 million and debt issuance costs of $0.3 million.

 

Indebtedness

Revolving Line of Credit

In November 2016, we entered into the Revolver Agreement with Western Alliance Bank, which provided for $7.0 million of available borrowings. Availability under the Revolving Facility is calculated based upon 80% of the eligible receivables (net of pre-paid deposits, pre-billed invoices, other offsets, and contras related to each specific account debtor).

On April 6, 2018, we amended and restated the Revolving Facility (the “Amended Revolver Agreement”) to extend the maturity date from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2020 and increase the revolving line of credit to $7.5 million. On March 22, 2019, we amended and restated the Amended Revolver Agreement (the “First Amended Revolver Agreement”), which increased the allowable permitted indebtedness under the First Amended Revolver Agreement in connection with our credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. On July 7, 2020, we entered into a second amendment to the Amended Revolver Agreement (as amended, the “Second Amended Revolver Agreement”), which, under certain circumstances, reduced the amount of funds required to be held on deposit with Western Alliance Bank. On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Amended Revolver Agreement (as amended, the “Third Amended Revolver Agreement”), which extended the maturity date to February 28, 2023. Under the Third Amended Revolver Agreement, interest is required to be paid monthly on the outstanding balance at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in effect from time to time, subject to a floor of 3.25%. The interest rate was 3.25% at September 30, 2020

The outstanding balance under the Third Amended Revolver Agreement was $4.5 million at September 30, 2020. The remaining amount available to borrow based on eligible receivables was $0.8 million at September 30, 2020. The Third Amended Revolver Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets, excluding intellectual property.

As discussed below, we fully repaid and terminated the Third Amended Revolver Agreement on October 21, 2020.

Term Debt

On April 6, 2018, we entered into the Credit Agreement and Guaranty with Perceptive. The Credit Agreement and Guaranty initially provided for a term loan facility in the amount of $42.5 million, available in three tranches, of which the first tranche of $20.0 million was drawn upon closing. This first tranche was used to repay the borrowings under a former loan arrangement. A second tranche of $10.0 million was drawn on July 20, 2018. The availability of the final tranche of $12.5 million was dependent upon the Company achieving a minimum of $43.2 million in revenue in 2018. On September 27, 2018, the Credit Agreement and Guaranty was amended to remove this revenue requirement and extend the final draw down date to March 31, 2019. We borrowed $2.0 million from this third tranche on September 27, 2018. On March 22, 2019, we drew the remaining $10.5 million under the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty increasing the total outstanding balance to $42.5 million. We also entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty increasing the allowable permitted indebtedness in connection with our credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. On June 16, 2020, we entered into a third amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”), which amended the prepayment premium by clarifying the methodology for calculating Perceptive’s annualized internal rate of return under the term loan.

34


 

The outstanding principal amount of the 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable margin of 9.06% plus the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR and (b) 1.75% per year. The term loan is secured by substantially all our personal property including intellectual property. All unpaid and accrued unpaid interest with respect to each such term loan is due and payable in full on the maturity date at April 6, 2023. On the maturity date, in addition to the payment principal and accrued interest, we will be required to make a payment of 0.5% of the total amount borrowed under the 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty, unless we have already made such payment in connection with an acceleration or prepayment of borrowings under the term loan. In the event we prepay all or part of this term loan facility prior to the maturity date, we may be subject to additional prepayment fees which decrease as the time to maturity decreases.

We issued warrants to Perceptive to purchase 37,693, 18,846 and 3,769 shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $15.92 per share in April 2018, July 2018 and September 2018, respectively. In connection with our initial public offering in November 2018 these warrants converted to common stock warrants at an exercise price of $15.92. Each of the warrants has a term of 10 years. In connection with the draw down on March 22, 2019, we granted warrants to purchase 19,789 shares of common stock. The warrants had an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, were exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and would have expired by March 2029. On June 10, 2020, Perceptive exercised all of its outstanding warrants in a cashless exercise transaction resulting in the issuance of 41,066 shares of common stock to Perceptive.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants under both the Third Amended Revolver Agreement and 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty at September 30, 2020.

As discussed below, we fully repaid and terminated the 2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty on October 21, 2020.

Subsequent Event – Debt Refinancing

On October 21, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into the Loan Agreement with CIBC. The Loan Agreement provides for a Revolving Facility of $12.0 million and a Term Facility of $40.0 million (the “Term Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”). The proceeds of the Facilities were used to repay our existing revolving loan facility and term loan facility and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Revolving Facility will mature on October 21, 2022 and may be renewed on an annual basis thereafter by mutual agreement of the Company and CIBC. The Term Facility will mature on October 21, 2025. Advances under the Facilities shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to, (i) in the case of the Revolving Facility, the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 1.0% and (ii) in the case of the Term Facility, the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5%. In each case, the WSJ Prime Rate is subject to a floor of 3.25%. The Loan Agreement provides for interest-only payments on the Term Facility for the first thirty-six months following the Closing Date. Thereafter, amortization payments on the Term Facility will be payable monthly in twenty-four equal installments. The Term Facility may not be prepaid prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date without prepaying all of the interest that otherwise would have been payable on the Term Facility during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date plus a prepayment charge of 2.0%. Thereafter, the Term Facility may be prepaid in full, subject to a prepayment charge of (i) 2.0%, if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) 1.0%, if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The Facilities are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, including intellectual property.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants and representations, including, without limitation, a minimum revenue covenant equal to 80% of each year’s annual operating plan (tested on a trailing twelve month basis at the end of each fiscal quarter) and other financial covenants, reporting obligations, and limitations on dispositions, changes in business or ownership, mergers or acquisitions, indebtedness, encumbrances, distributions and investments, transactions with affiliates and capital expenditures.

The events of default under the Loan Agreement include, without limitation, and subject to customary grace periods, (1) our failure to make any payments of principal or interest under the Loan Agreement or other loan documents, (2) our breach or default in the performance of any covenant under the Loan Agreement, (3) the occurrence of a material adverse effect or an event that is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect, (4) the existence of an attachment or levy on a material portion of our or our subsidiaries’ funds, (5) our insolvency or bankruptcy, or (6) the occurrence of certain material defaults with respect to any other of our indebtedness in excess of $500,000. If an event of default occurs, CIBC is entitled to take enforcement action, including acceleration of amounts due under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement also contains other customary provisions, such as expense reimbursement and confidentiality. CIBC has indemnification rights and the right to assign the Facilities, subject to customary restrictions.

 

On October 21, 2020, we used approximately $40 million of the Term Facility, approximately $4.9 million of the Revolving Facility and approximately $5.7 million of cash on hand to pay off all obligations owing under, and to terminate, both the

35


 

2020 Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty and the Third Amended Revolver Agreement, which included a prepayment penalty and exit fees of $3.7 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We monitor and analyze these items for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

For further information regarding our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and our critical accounting policies within the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in our accounting policies except for certain new policies or enhanced policy descriptions, which are discussed below related to self-insurance, other lease revenues, and stock compensation expense related to our 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP”).

 

Insurance

Effective January 1, 2020, we are self-insured for certain obligations related to health insurance. We also purchase stop-loss insurance to protect us from material losses. Judgments and estimates are used in determining the potential value associated with reported claims and for events that have occurred, but have not been reported. Our estimates consider expected claim experience and other factors. Receivables for insurance recoveries are recorded as assets, on an undiscounted basis. Our liabilities are based on estimates, and, while we believe that our accruals are adequate, the ultimate liability may be significantly different from the amounts recorded. Changes in claims experience, our ability to settle claims or other estimates and judgments used by us could have a material impact on the amount and timing of expense for any period.

 

Lease Revenue

We enter into agreements to lease our capital equipment. For such sales, we account for revenue under ASC 840, Leases, and assess and classify these transactions as sales-type or operating leases based on whether the lease transfers ownership of the equipment to the lessee by the end of the lease term. This criterion is met in situations in which the lease agreement provides for the transfer of title at or shortly after the end of the lease term in exchange for the payment of a nominal fee, for example, the minimum required by statutory regulation to transfer title. Equipment included in arrangements including transfer of title are accounted for as sales-type leases and we recognize the total value of the lease payments due over the lease term to revenue at the inception of the lease. We record the current value of future lease payments under prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and these amounts totaled $1.7 and $0.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Equipment included in arrangements that do not include the transfer of title, nor any of the capital lease criteria, are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis as it becomes receivable monthly over the term of the lease.

We also enter into agreements involving the placement of Precision Flow capital units for use by the customer at no upfront charge in connection with the customer’s ongoing purchase of disposable products. In these bundled arrangements, revenue recognized for the sale of the disposables is allocated between disposable revenue and other lease revenue based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling prices of the individual performance obligations.

Stock-Based Compensation

We maintain an equity incentive plan to provide long-term incentives for employees, consultants, and members of the board of directors. The plan allows for the issuance of non-statutory and incentive stock options to employees and non-statutory stock options to consultants and non-employee directors.

We recognize stock-based compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees and non-employees based on the grant date fair value of those awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 requires all

36


 

equity-based compensation awards, including grants of restricted shares and stock options, to be recognized as expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss based on their grant date fair values.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. For performance-based awards, the related compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on an accelerated attribution basis. Compensation cost associated with performance awards is based on fair value on the date of grant and the number of units expected to be earned after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met and the associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved. Cumulative adjustments are recorded each quarter to reflect estimated outcomes of the performance-related conditions until the results are determined and settled. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs, including the expected life (weighted average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of our common stock and an assumed risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on historical volatility of a group of publicly traded companies that we consider a peer group. The expected life is estimated using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with a remaining term that approximates the expected life assumed at the date of grant. No dividend yield is assumed as we do not pay, and do not expect to pay, dividends on our common stock. We estimate forfeitures based on historical experience with pre-vested forfeitures. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the estimate, the difference is recorded to compensation expense in the period of the forfeiture.

We recognize stock-based expense for shares issued pursuant to our ESPP on a straight-line basis over the related offering period. We estimate the fair value of shares to be issued under the ESPP based on a combination of options valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected life is determined based on the contractual term. Expected volatility, dividend yield and forfeiture rates are estimated in a manner similar to option grants described above.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

JOBS Act

As a company with (i) less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year (ii) a market value of our common stock of less than $700.0 million as of our most recently completed second quarter and (iii) less than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, as of the date of our last annual evaluation which occurred on December 31, 2019. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. We expect we will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020 and, at that time, will begin to adopt certain accounting pronouncements at dates applicable to public companies.

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) at the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We recognize that any controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

38


 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings, including those that may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes there is currently no litigation pending that could have, individually, or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the results of its operations or financial condition.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 5, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 4, 2020, and in our other filings with the SEC.

 

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, such as COVID-19, has and may in the future adversely affect our business.

 

If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs, our business may be adversely affected. Such events may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption or in an inability to scale our production to meet increased demand in a cost-effective manner or at all, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus has now spread globally, and United States residents and businesses were hit especially hard during March, April, and May in major urban centers like New York City, and in July throughout the sunbelt in states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Additionally, as we move further into the fall and schools and communities continue to implement plans to reopen, new hot spots of COVID-19 infection have emerged and are continuing to emerge. A resurgence in the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 may result in renewed stay-at-home orders and mandatory closings for non-essential businesses. The spread of COVID-19 during the first, second, and third quarters of 2020 resulted in certain disruptions to our business and may in the future result in additional disruptions to our business. Examples of such disruptions include without limitation the following:

 

 

The health and wellbeing of our employees, including our operations and production teams, our sales representatives and clinical educators who may visit our hospital customers, as well as that of our distributors and suppliers, is at risk – if a critical threshold of our personnel, or the personnel of our distributors or suppliers, were to be diagnosed with COVID-19, placed in quarantine due to potential exposure to COVID-19, or need to care for family members diagnosed with COVID-19, such developments may result in significant business, manufacturing, or distribution disruption.

 

 

As we scaled production to meet increased demand, we have asked, and will likely continue to ask, employees and suppliers to work extended and unusual hours and we and many of our suppliers have onboarded, and may in the future onboard, a significant number of personnel. While we require these personnel to complete all required training and education before they begin working, and we believe our suppliers, to the extent applicable, do as well, many of the new personnel do not have prior experience with the specific production skills they are being hired to perform and/or otherwise do not have prior experience manufacturing medical devices, and while we have not seen a negative impact to our quality management system or product quality to date, any of the foregoing may result in a negative impact on our quality management system and product quality in the future.

 

 

As we scaled production to meet increased demand, our employees or suppliers have in the past and may in the future change production processes or fail to document such changes to keep up with our production needs. While we have not seen a negative impact to our quality management system and product quality to date, these changes and/or failure to document such changes may have a negative impact on our quality management system and product quality in the future.

 

 

Demand for our products and services has been dynamic since March, with extended periods of intense demand resulting in the rapid hiring of temporary employees and scaling up of production and inventory, followed by periods of reduced demand resulting in the reduction of temporary employees and scaling back of production and inventory. The result of these fluctuations in demand have and in the future may continue to drive unevenness in our operations and supply chain and we have experienced and may continue to experience unevenness and volatility in our hiring, production, and inventory levels, any of which can have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

39


 

 

 

Demand for our products has previously increased at the same time that we began to experience limitations in our supply chain, which has resulted, and may in the future result, in a shortage of supply, increased costs of products, materials, and components and delays in the timely delivery thereof, which has required, and may in the future require, that we pass through expenses or otherwise increase our pricing in certain instances for our customers and distributors. Some of our customers and distributors have rejected, and others in the future may reject, these pricing increases, negatively impacting our business. Similarly, the demand we placed on our suppliers at the same time their sub-suppliers began to face limitations led to our suppliers seeking to pass through expenses or otherwise increase pricing for products, materials, and components we required to meet our production needs, and this may occur again in the future. 

 

 

Some of our suppliers have been, and some of our suppliers may in the future be, partially or, at times, wholly precluded from delivering to us products, materials, and components in the quantities needed on a timely basis, for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, an evolving understanding of how international, federal, and/or state authorities define “essential business”, their inability to remain open due to lost business in other parts of their portfolios, or because of international, federal, and/or state prioritization orders requiring our suppliers to produce for governmental entities and/or other manufacturers before they produce for us.

 

 

We have had to develop alternative sources of supply for certain products, materials, and components as a result of the partial or, at times, complete inability of some of some of our suppliers to meet our production needs. Although we have successfully been able to develop and validate these alternate sources of supply to date, doing so is time-consuming, difficult, and costly, and if we need to develop and validate alternative sources of supply in the future for any reason, including if any of our suppliers were to cease operations altogether, discontinue production of our key products, materials, and/or components, or go into extended backorder, we may not be able to do so in a timeframe acceptable to meet customer demand. Additionally, we have had to go to secondary broker markets for some of our alternative sourcing needs, which represent a greater risk for counterfeit products, materials and/or components. Although we were able to validate the products, materials and/or components we purchased from secondary broker markets to date, we may not be able to do so in the future which may result in a negative impact on our quality management system and product quality.

 

 

Customer demand has necessitated weekly and, in some cases, daily shipments of certain products, materials, and/or components from our suppliers to meet our production targets, and customer demand in the future may necessitate similar delivery frequencies. We have had to and may in the future have to shut down production temporarily if there are delays in the shipments of those products, materials and/or components.

 

 

Federal authorities may restrict our ability to export products outside the United States, which could negatively impact our business, operations, and relationships with our international distributors and customers in a significant and long-term way that we may not be able to rebuild for an extended period of time, or at all.

 

 

While we have priority shipping status with our carriers, we have experienced shipping delays throughout the United States and internationally, and as a result, there have been and may continue to be delays in our ability to ship our product to customers and distributors in a timely manner, potentially resulting in returned product, and we have faced and may in the future face extraordinary freight fees, including air freight fees and expedition fees for all modes of transportation.

 

 

Travel restrictions have impeded, and may in the future continue to impede, our ability to qualify and retain new suppliers or audit our existing suppliers, which may have a negative impact on our quality management system and our product quality in the future.

 

 

Travel restrictions and hospital limitations or denials of access for non-patients have impacted, and may in the future continue to impact, the ability of our direct sales team and clinical educators in the United States and United Kingdom and our distributors and suppliers in many other countries to access physicians and clinicians in order to train them on our products at a time when we are onboarding many new customers who have no prior experience using our products. We have been training our customers and distributors on our products through online training modules. We are not certain that these alternative means will be as effective as our standard training methods, particularly over the long term in terms of using our products on the full range of patients experiencing respiratory distress, including hypercapnia, or even using our products at all, and while we have not seen a negative impact to our complaint rates to date, we may see higher complaint rates in the future, particularly from new customers who are less familiar with our products.

 

40


 

 

Travel restrictions have prevented, and may in the future continue to prevent, physicians and other caregivers from traveling to attend our training programs, which has resulted, and may in the future continue to result, in fewer physicians trained in person on high velocity therapy, and in the United Kingdom and in Europe, on our Oxygen Assist Module.

 

 

Travel restrictions have impeded, and may in the future continue to impede, our ability to meet with distributors, negatively impacting our business in a number of ways, including without limitation our ability to train our existing distributors on new products such as the Oxygen Assist Module.

 

 

Some of our hospital customers in the United States may in the future be unable to continue with business operations as usual or at all due to lost business in other parts of their operations, which may negatively impact or eliminate our business with these customers. Similarly, some of our distributors may in the future be unable to continue with business operations as usual or at all due to lost business in other parts of their portfolios, which may negatively impact or eliminate our business with these distributors and their customers in the countries they serve.

 

 

We have asked most employees who are not directly involved in our production, shipping, quality, regulatory, and product development efforts to work from home and, while we have not seen a negative impact so far, this could impact our ability to effectively plan, execute, communicate and maintain our corporate culture. The increase in working remotely could also increase our cyber security risk, create data accessibility concerns, and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions, any of which could adversely impact our business operations.

 

 

Stay at home orders implemented in March, April, and May significantly restricted individuals from traveling outside the home, which limited our ability to hire new employees or backfill terminated employees; if additional stay at home orders are issued in the future, our ability to hire new employees or backfill terminated employees may be further impacted. Additionally, the federal unemployment compensation subsidy passed into law in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic created incentives for certain individuals to stay home rather than seek to enter the job market, which also limited our ability to hire new employees and backfill terminated employees. The federal unemployment compensation subsidy initially expired on July 31, 2020, then was extended in September at a lower rate, and is currently being negotiated further. Any further extension of the federal unemployment compensation subsidy may continue to limit our ability to hire new employees and backfill terminated employees in the future.

 

 

Our competitors, potentially including companies that we have not previously considered competitors due to their historical operation outside of the respiratory space or even outside of the medical device space entirely, may in the future secure significant purchase agreements from the federal government or various states before we are able to do so, may be selected instead of us, or may be added to these agreements after initially being excluded, and any of the foregoing could limit our access to or preclude us altogether from those commercial opportunities.

 

The U.S. federal government has cancelled, and the U.S. federal government and/or state or international governments may in the future cancel contracts they have entered into with suppliers to procure competitive respiratory support technologies, thereby leaving those suppliers with significant inventory of components and/or finished goods and creating motivation for those suppliers to enter markets around the world with those devices at extremely competitive pricing; to the extent those suppliers and their products would compete with us, our existing business in markets where we already are established and/or our ability to enter into new markets may be negatively impacted.

 

 

The transmission risk of different respiratory support modalities for COVID-19 has not been studied extensively. Our assessment of the issue suggests that the Precision Flow, its disposable patient circuits, and its accessories, including the Vapotherm Transfer Unit, the Q50 compressor, and, in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Oxygen Assist Module, do not represent a heightened risk, particularly when (1) used in COVID-19 cohorts or when adequately disinfected between patients, and (2) a simple surgical mask is placed over the patient’s nose and mouth while delivering high velocity nasal insufflation; however, this assessment could prove to be incorrect upon further analysis or new third party information.

 

 

The FDA or any foreign regulatory body may disagree with our interpretation that our promotional materials, sales practices, and training related to the use of our products on patients in respiratory distress who are suffering from COVID-19 are on label and they could request we modify our promotional materials, sales practices, or training or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state, or foreign enforcement authorities might take action under other regulatory authority, such as false claims laws, if they consider our business activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to, criminal, civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and the curtailment of our operations.

41


 

 

 

A significant disruption to our business resulting in an inability to build and ship product to customers for an extended period of time may impair our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants.

 

 

Equity and debt markets in general and Vapotherm securities in particular have experienced significant volatility since the spread of COVID-19 into the United States for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, media coverage of COVID-19, its impacts, and specific COVID-19 related technologies such as invasive mechanical ventilators and high flow nasal cannula in general and Vapotherm’s Precision Flow, an advanced form of high flow nasal cannula capable of delivering high velocity therapy, in particular. Should significant volatility continue or should the markets in general or Vapotherm securities in particular experience declines due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may not be able to raise capital or seek other sources of financing at a reasonable valuation or at all.

 

In addition, the increases in demand we have at times experienced since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic are correlated with the number of patients suffering from COVID-19 who are being treated for respiratory distress; these increases in demand may not continue after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. Moreover, the increases in demand we have experienced to date may result in decreased demand for our products after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides as hospitals may have a large surplus of ventilators and other respiratory support equipment, including high flow nasal cannula devices, potentially including Vapotherm’s Precision Flow systems. Additionally, we were awarded a blanket purchase agreement from the Department of Defense and may in the future be compelled to or otherwise enter into other blanket purchase agreements or supply agreements with domestic or foreign governmental entities, and orders may not materialize thereunder for a variety of reasons, including without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic subsiding or any decision by the relevant domestic or foreign governmental entity to otherwise cancel or alter their purchase order or supply agreement. Even if any such agreement is ultimately fulfilled, the domestic or foreign governmental entity might fail to adequately distribute and install our technology in hospitals where the potential exists for it to generate an ongoing disposable revenue stream. As a result, any present increase or potential future increase in our capital or disposable revenue may not be sustained and our revenue may significantly decrease after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any sudden and significant decrease in demand may result in a substantial inventory position, which could also have an adverse effect on our business.

 

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to treat or contain COVID-19 or to otherwise limit its impact, among others. Additionally, strategies relating to limiting the impact of COVID-19 have become highly politicized around the world, including in connection with the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, the outcome of which may result in significant political, economic, and civil instability. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic, whether on its own or in connection with any political, economic, and civil instability resulting from the 2020 U.S. Presidential election adversely affects our business and financial results, our distributors’ and suppliers’ business and financial results, or our customers’ business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, including without limitation those relating to our ability to generate revenue and improve on or hold our current gross margin, the price of our common stock, our susceptibility to securities or other types of litigation, our significant amount of indebtedness, our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our substantial indebtedness, and our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.

(a)

Vesting.  Unless earlier terminated, forfeited, relinquished or expired, [Insert Vesting Terms – e.g. “100% of the Restricted Stock Units will vest on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Grant”] subject to the Participant remaining in continuous Employment from the Date of Grant through such vesting date.

 

(b)

Cessation of Employment.  Except as expressly provided for in an employment agreement between the Participant and the Company that is in effect at the time of the Participant’s termination of employment, automatically and immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, (i) the unvested portion of this Award will terminate and be forfeited for no consideration, and (ii) the vested portion of this Award, if any, will terminate and be forfeited for no consideration if the Participant’s Employment is terminated for Cause or occurs in circumstances that in the determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause (in each case, without regard to the lapsing of any required notice or cure periods in connection therewith).

3.Delivery of Shares.  Subject to Section 4 below, the Company shall, as soon as practicable upon the vesting of any portion of the Award (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the date on which such Restricted Stock Units vest), effect delivery of the Shares with respect to such vested Restricted Stock Units to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to the person to whom the Award has passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution). No Shares will be issued pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable

 


 

to the issuance or transfer of such Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Administrator.  

4.Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation.  By accepting this Award, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights, and those of any permitted transferee of this Award, under this Award, including the right to any Shares acquired under this Award or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 6(a)(5) of the Plan (including any successor provision).  The Participant further agrees to be bound by the terms of any clawback or recoupment policy of the Company that applies to incentive compensation that includes Awards such as the Restricted Stock Units.  Nothing in the preceding sentence may be construed as limiting the general application of Section 9 of this Agreement.  

5.Dividends; Other Rights.  This Award may not be interpreted to bestow upon the Participant any equity interest or ownership in the Company or any subsidiary prior to the date on which the Company actually delivers Shares to the Participant.  The Participant is not entitled to vote any Shares by reason of the granting of this Award or to receive or be credited with any dividends declared and payable on any Share prior to the date on which any such Share is delivered to the Participant hereunder.  The Participant will have the rights of a shareholder only as to those Shares, if any, that are actually delivered under this Award.

7.Taxes.  

 

(a)

The Participant expressly acknowledges that the vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units acquired hereunder will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding.  No Shares will be delivered pursuant to this Award unless and until the Participant has remitted to the Company in cash or by check (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator) an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes required to be withheld in connection with such vesting or settlement.  

 

(b)

The Participant authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold any amounts due in respect of any required tax withholdings or payments from any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant, but nothing in this sentence may be construed as relieving the Participant of any liability for satisfying his or her obligation under the preceding provisions of this Section 7.

 

(c)

This Award is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code as a short-term deferral thereunder and shall be construed and administered in accordance with that intent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company or any of its subsidiaries have any liability relating to the failure or alleged failure of any payment or benefit under this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A.

8.Effect on Employment.  Neither the grant of this Award, nor the issuance of Shares upon the vesting of this Award, will give the Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affect the right of the Company or any of its

-2-

 


 

subsidiaries to discharge the Participant at any time, or affect any right of the Participant to terminate his or her Employment at any time.

9.Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been made available to the Participant.  By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.

By accepting this Award, the Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that he or she elects to sell Shares issued in respect of the Award to satisfy the statutory minimum amount of the tax withholdings described in subsection (a) above (the “Withholding Obligation”) and to allow the Agent to remit the cash proceeds of such sale to the Company (“Sell to Cover”).  The Participant’s election to Sell to Cover to satisfy the Withholding Obligation is irrevocable. 

 

(c)

The Participant hereby irrevocably appoints Shareworks, or such other registered broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as the Company may select, as the Participant’s agent (the “Agent”) to effectuate the Sell to Cover, and the Participant authorizes and directs the Agent to: (i) sell on the open market at the then prevailing market price(s), on the Participant’s behalf, as soon as practicable on or after the date on which the Shares are delivered to the Participant pursuant to Section 4 hereof in connection with the vesting of the

Restricted Stock Units, the number (rounded up to the next whole number) of Shares sufficient to generate proceeds to cover (A) the satisfaction of the Withholding Obligation arising from the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the related issuance and delivery of Shares to the Participant and (B) all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent with respect thereto; (ii) remit directly to the Company the proceeds from the sale of the Shares referred to in clause (i) above necessary to satisfy the Withholding Obligation; (iii) retain the amount required to cover all applicable fees and commissions due to, or required to be collected by, the Agent, relating directly to the sale of the Shares referred to in clause (i) above; and (iv) maintain any remaining funds from the sale of the Shares referred to in clause (i) above in the Participant’s account with the Agent. The Participant hereby authorizes the Company and the Agent to cooperate and communicate with one another to determine the number of Shares that must be sold to satisfy the Participant’s obligations hereunder and to otherwise effect the purpose and intent of this Agreement and satisfy the rights and obligations hereunder.

 

(d)

The Participant acknowledges that the Agent is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Shares at any particular price under a Sell to Cover and that the Agent may affect sales under any Sell to Cover in one or more sales and that the average price for executions resulting from bunched orders may be assigned to the Participant’s account. The Participant further acknowledges that he or she will be responsible for all brokerage fees and other costs of sale associated with any Sell to Cover or transaction contemplated by this Section 7 and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale.  In addition, the Participant acknowledges that it may not be possible to sell Shares as provided for in this Section 7 due to various circumstances. If it is not possible to sell Shares in a Sell to Cover or if the Company determines that the Withholding Obligation will be satisfied in a manner other than Sell to Cover, the Company will assist the Participant in determining additional alternatives available to the Participant.  In the event of the Agent’s inability to sell shares of Common Stock, the Participant will continue to be responsible for the timely payment to the Company of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be paid or withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Award.  In such event, or in the event that the Company determines that the cash proceeds from a Sell to Cover are insufficient to meet the Withholding Obligation, the Participant authorizes the Company and its subsidiaries to withhold such amounts from any amounts otherwise owed to the Participant, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed as relieving the Participant of any liability for satisfying his or her obligations under the preceding provisions of this Section.

 

(e)

The Participant hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent or the Company any other agreements or documents as the Agent or the Company reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, including without limitation, any agreement intended to ensure the Sell to Cover and the corresponding authorization and instruction to the Agent set forth in this

-3-

83849351_5


 

 

Section 7 to sell Shares to satisfy the Withholding Obligation comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Agent is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.

 

(f)

The Participant expressly acknowledges that because the Award consists of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Shares in the future, subject to the terms hereof, it is not possible to make a so-called “83(b) election” with respect to the Award.

8.Effect on Employment.  Neither the grant of this Award, nor the issuance of Shares upon the vesting of this Award, will give the Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affect the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to discharge the Participant at any time, or affect any right of the Participant to terminate his or her Employment at any time.

9.Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been made available to the Participant.  By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.  

10.Acknowledgements.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument; (ii) this Agreement may be executed and exchanged using facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, will constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder; and (iii) such signature by the Company will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when this Agreement is countersigned by the Participant.

Introduction

 

 

 

On January 23, 2019, Vapotherm, Inc. (hereafter referred to as “the Company”) adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as a way to attract, retain and reward key Employees and Directors of, and consultants and advisors to the Company and its subsidiaries, to incentivize them to generate stockholder value, to enable them to participate in the growth of the Company and to align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

 

The Plan permits the granting of the following types of Awards or a combination of them:

 

 

Stock Options,

 

Share Appreciation Rights,

 

Restricted Stock, Unrestricted Stock,

 

Stock Units including Restricted Stock Units (RSUs),

 

Performance Awards, and

 

Awards (other than Awards described above) that are convertible into or otherwise based on Stock.

 

The Plan is attached as an Appendix I to this Sub Plan. Exhibit A of the Plan provides that a granted Award can take the form of a Stock Option, i.e., an option entitling the holder to acquire shares of Stock upon payment of the exercise price. Section 12 of the Plan provides that “the Administrator may at any time and from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan (for local law compliance purposes or other purposes or administrative reasons determined by the Administrator) by adopting supplements to the Plan containing, in each case, (i) such limitations on the Administrator’s discretion under the Plan and (ii) such additional terms and conditions, as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable.  Each supplement so established will be deemed to be part of the Plan but will apply only to Participants within the group to which the supplement applies (as determined by the Administrator)”.

 

Based on these considerations, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the present appendix as a subplan of the Plan, which shall only and exclusively apply to qualifying Employees and officers who are residents of France.

 

The provisions of this Sub Plan prevail over those of the Plan which may only apply to the extent they do not contravene the French laws, and especially the Articles of the French Commercial Code (“code de commerce”, when applicable, governing the allocation of stock options and the allocation of free shares, to be complied with for favorable domestic social and tax treatment.

 

-3-


 

Under the Sub Plan, qualifying Employees and officers (i.e. those mentioned as Beneficiaries in section III of the Sub Plan) will be granted :

 

- Stock Options giving them the possibility to acquire shares of the Company under the conditions provided by the Sub Plan, or

- RSUs, which correspond to free shares governed by Articles L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-6 of the French Commercial Code, the conditions of which the Company and each Beneficiary (as such term is defined in section III.1 below) undertake to respect.

 

Definitions: the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan and notably its Appendix A: (i) Administrator, (ii) Award, (iii) Board, (iv) Company, (v) Employee, (vi) Fair Market Value, (vii) Performance Award, (viii) Plan, (ix) Restricted Stock, (x) Restricted Stock Units, (xi) SAR, (xii) Stock, (xiii) Stock Option, (xiv) Stock Unit, (xv) Unrestricted Stock.

The Stock Options give Employees and officers the right to subscribe to or buy Shares in the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement and under the conditions set forth below.

The RSUs give the Beneficiaries the conditional right to receive, without payment and pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, to receive, without payment, shares of the Company, under the conditions set forth below and in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.

III.3Stock subject to the Plan

 

The maximum aggregate number of Company’s Shares which may be issued for all Stock Options and all RSUs granted under the Sub Plan is 150,000 Shares.  

 

In any case :

 

- the total number of Stock Options granted to Beneficiaries under this Sub Plan and any future stock option plan cannot give right to subscribe to Company’s Shares in excess of 1/3rd of the Company’s share capital.

 

- the total number of RSUs granted to Beneficiaries under this Sub Plan cannot give right to hold Company’s Shares in excess of 10% of the Company’s total share capital nor have for effect of granting to any Beneficiary more than 10% of the Company’s share capital.

 

III.4Option exercise price (for Stock Options)

b)

A Beneficiary may exercise his/her Stock Options only if he still has the status of an Employee at the time of such exercise. As a result, unvested options terminate on a Beneficiary’s termination

This which implies the following considering the French rules applicable to employment termination and retirement:

 

 

-

In case of voluntary termination of employment by the Employee, said Employee may not exercise his/her vested Stock Options if the exercise date takes place more than 3 months following the delivery to his/her employer of his/her letter notifying his/her decision to leave his/her employment;

 

 

-

In case of retirement, the Employee will lose his/her rights to exercise his/her vested Stock Options 3 months after the day his/her professional activity stops.  

 

 

-

In case of termination of employment by the employer, the Employee’s rights to exercise his/her vested Stock Options will be maintained  during a 3-month period following the last day of work during the notice period (whether worked or not); the Employee will lose any such rights after that date.

 

III.6Allocation of RSUs

a)

Notwithstanding any contrary agreement, the vesting period of the RSUs granted shall not last less than one (1) year, as determined by the Board of Directors in compliance with the minimum duration determined by the shareholders of the Company. If the duration of the vesting period is inferior to two (2) years, the Beneficiaries shall also respect a holding period (hereafter the “Holding Period”) during which the Shares of the Company allocated in accordance with the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall not be transferred. The total duration of the vesting period and of the Holding Period together shall not be less than two (2 years).

 

It is specified that the Beneficiaries shall not be the legal owners of the Shares of the Company allocated under the RSU agreement until the end of the vesting period and can not be entitled before that date to the legal quality of shareholder of the Company nor to the rights attached to this quality.

 

In any case, the Shares of the Company allocated under any RSU agreement to a Beneficiary shall not be transferred, after the end of the Holding Period, within thirty (30) days preceding the announcement of the disclosing of an intermediate financial report of the Company or preceding the date on which the Company’s annual financial report is made public.

 

-7-


 

In accordance with Article L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, these Shares shall not be transferred by any Beneficiary who has knowledge of any privileged informationas defined by the regulation (EU) n°596/2014, which has not been made public.

 

 

b)

In the event of the death of a Beneficiary during the vesting period, according to provisions of article L 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code, his/her estate may at any time within a six-month period following the date of the death, ask for the allocation of the free Shares of the Company which would have been allocated in accordance with the RSU agreement, subject to any applicable condition.

 

 

c)

d)

III.7Adjustments upon changes in capital  (for Stock Options)

 

The number of Shares available to be acquired through a particular Stock Option grant issued under the Sub Plan as well as the exercise price of such Shares shall be definitely set upon the date of such Option grant.

 

However, applicable laws and notably section L 225-181 of the French Commercial Code provide for adjustment provisions in cases where operations on share capital affecting the number of Shares, such as capital increases by incorporation of reserves, capital decrease, issuance of preference shares. Similar provisions are provided in section 7 of the Plan.

 

In these situations, the Company shall make the necessary adjustments as provided by section L. 225-181 and L. 228-99 of the Commercial Code consistent with the terms of the Plan. These adjustments may be provided through price adjustment or adjustment in the number of Stock Options.

 

They may not take the form of substitutions (cash payment or alternative consideration) as mentioned in the Plan.

 

In order to make such adjustments, the Administrator may temporarily suspend all exercise rights under the Plan for a maximum of a 1-month period. The Beneficiaries will then be informed in writing.

Appendix I

2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

 

 

 

 


-11-


 

Vapotherm, Inc.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

1.Defined Terms

Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines certain terms used in the Plan and sets forth operational rules related to those terms.

2.Purpose

The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company by providing for the grant to Participants of Stock and Stock-based Awards.  The purposes of the Plan are to attract, retain, and reward key Employees and Directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company and its subsidiaries, to incentivize them to generate stockholder value, to enable them to participate in the growth of the Company and to align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

3.Administration

The Plan will be administered by the Administrator.  The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the Plan, to administer and interpret the Plan and any Awards; to determine eligibility for and grant Awards; to determine the exercise price, base value from which appreciation is measured, or purchase price, if any, applicable to any Award; to determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award; to determine the form of settlement of Awards (whether in cash, shares of Stock, other Awards, or other property); to prescribe forms, rules and procedures relating to the Plan and Awards; and to otherwise do all things necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the Plan and any Awards.  Determinations of the Administrator made with respect to the Plan or any Award are conclusive and bind all persons.

4.Limits on Awards Under the Plan

(a)Number of Shares.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(b), the number of shares of Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of Awards under the Plan is 998,900 shares of Stock (the “Initial Share Pool”).  The Initial Share Pool will automatically increase (i) by the number of shares of Stock underlying awards under the Prior Plan (which will not exceed 769,419 shares) that on or after the Date of Adoption expire or are terminated, surrendered or cancelled without the delivery of shares of Stock, are forfeited to, or repurchased by, the Company, or otherwise become available again for grant under the Prior Plan, in each case, in accordance with its terms and (ii) on January 1st of each year from 2019 until 2028, by the lesser of (A) four percent (4%) of the number of shares of Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the immediately preceding December 31st and (B) the number of shares of Stock determined by the Board on or prior to such date for such year (the Initial Share Pool, as it may be so increased, the “Share Pool”).  Up to 166,500 of the shares of Stock from the Share Pool may be issued in satisfaction of ISOs, but nothing in this Section 4(a) will be construed as requiring that any, or any fixed number of, ISOs be granted under the Plan.  For purposes of this Section 4(a), shares of Stock will not be treated as issued under the Plan, and will not reduce the

-12-


 

Share Pool, unless and until, and to the extent, the shares are actually issued to a Participant.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shares of Stock withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price or purchase price of an Award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with respect to an Award and shares of Stock underlying any portion of an Award that is settled or that expires, becomes unexercisable, terminates or is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, in each case, without the issuance (or retention (in the case of Restricted Stock)) of Stock, will not be treated as issued in satisfaction of Awards under the Plan and will not reduce the Share Pool.  The limits set forth in this Section 4(a) will be construed to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 422.  

(b)Substitute Awards.  The Administrator may grant Substitute Awards under the Plan.  To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 and the regulations thereunder and other applicable legal requirements (including applicable stock exchange requirements), shares of Stock issued in respect of Substitute Awards will be in addition to and will not reduce the Share Pool, but, notwithstanding anything in Section 4(a) to the contrary, if any Substitute Award is settled in cash or expires, becomes unexercisable, terminates or is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, in each case, without the issuance (or retention (in the case of restricted stock)) of Stock, the shares of Stock previously subject to such Award will not increase the Share Pool or otherwise be available for future issuance under the Plan.  The Administrator will determine the extent to which the terms and conditions of the Plan apply to Substitute Awards, if at all; provided that Substitute Awards will not be subject to, and will not count against, the individual limits described in Section 4(d).

(c)Type of Shares.  The shares of Stock issued under the Plan may be shares of authorized but unissued Stock, treasury Stock, or Stock acquired in an open-market transaction.  No fractional shares of Stock will be issued under the Plan.

(d)Limits on Director Compensation.  The aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid to any Director with respect to any calendar year, including Awards granted under the Plan and cash fees or other compensation paid by the Company to such Director outside of the Plan, in each case, for his or her services as a Director during such calendar year, may not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, calculating the value of any Awards based on the grant date fair value in accordance with the Accounting Rules and assuming maximum payout levels.

5.Eligibility and Participation

The Administrator will select Participants from among key Employees and Directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company and its subsidiaries.  Eligibility for ISOs is limited to employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code.  Eligibility for NSOs and SARs is limited to individuals who are providing direct services on the date of grant of the Award to the Company or to a subsidiary of the Company that would be described in the first sentence of Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iii)(E) of the Treasury Regulations.

-13-


 

6.Rules Applicable to Awards

(a)All Awards.

(1)Award Provisions.  The Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of all Awards, subject to the limitations provided herein.  By accepting (or, under such rules as the Administrator may prescribe, being deemed to have accepted) an Award, the Participant will be deemed to have agreed to the terms and conditions of the Award and the Plan.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Substitute Awards may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.

(2)Term of Plan.  No Awards may be made after ten years from the Date of Adoption, but previously granted Awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with their terms.

(3)Transferability.  Neither ISOs nor, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides in accordance with the third sentence of this Section 6(a)(3), other Awards may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  During a Participant’s lifetime, ISOs and, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides in accordance with the third sentence of this Section 6(a)(3), SARs and NSOs may be exercised only by the Participant.  The Administrator may permit the transfer of Awards other than ISOs, subject to applicable securities and other laws and such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

(4)Vesting; Exercisability. The Administrator will determine the time or times at which an Award vests or becomes exercisable and the terms and conditions on which a Stock Option or SAR remains exercisable.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of an Award (or any portion thereof), regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax or other consequences resulting from such acceleration.  Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, however, the following rules will apply if a Participant’s Employment ceases:

(A)Except as provided in (B) and (C) below, immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment each Stock Option and SAR (or portion thereof) that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate, and each other Award that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not then vested, will be forfeited.

(B)Subject to (C) and (D) below, each vested and unexercised Stock Option and SAR (or portion thereof) held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three months following such cessation of Employment or (ii) the period ending on the latest

-14-


 

date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate.

(C)Subject to (D) below, each vested and unexercised Stock Option and SAR (or portion thereof) held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment due to his or her death or by the Company as a result of his or her Disability, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one-year period ending on the first anniversary of the Participant’s death or the date on which the Participant’s Employment is terminated as a result of his or her Disability or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon immediately terminate.

(D)All Awards (whether or not vested or exercisable) held by a Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment will immediately terminate upon such cessation of Employment if the termination is for Cause or occurs in circumstances that in the determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause (in each case, without regard to the lapsing of any required notice or cure periods in connection therewith).

(5)Recovery of Compensation.  The Administrator may provide in any case that any outstanding Award (whether or not vested or exercisable), the proceeds from the exercise or disposition of any Award or Stock acquired under any Award, and any other amounts received in respect of any Award or Stock acquired under any Award will be subject to forfeiture and disgorgement to the Company, with interest and other related earnings, (i) if the Participant to whom the Award was granted is not in compliance with any provision of the Plan or any applicable Award, any non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire, non-disparagement, confidentiality, invention assignment, or other restrictive covenant by which he or she is bound, or any policy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is applicable to the Participant and that provides for forfeiture, disgorgement or clawback with respect to incentive compensation that includes Awards under the Plan; or (ii) to the extent required by law or applicable stock exchange listing standards, including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Each Participant, by accepting or being deemed to have accepted an Award under the Plan, agrees (or will be deemed to have agreed) to cooperate fully with the Administrator, and to cause any and all permitted transferees of the Participant to cooperate fully with the Administrator, to effectuate any forfeiture or disgorgement described in this Section 6(a)(5).  Neither the Administrator nor the Company nor any other person, other than the Participant and his or her permitted transferees, if any, will be responsible for any adverse tax or other consequences to a Participant or his or her permitted transferees, if any, that may arise in connection with this Section 6(a)(5).

(6)Taxes.  The issuance, delivery, vesting, and retention of Stock, cash or other property under an Award are conditioned upon the full satisfaction by the Participant of all tax and other withholding requirements with respect to the Award.  The Administrator will prescribe such rules for the withholding of taxes and other amounts with respect to any Award as

-15-


 

it deems necessary.  The Administrator may hold back shares of Stock from an Award or permit a Participant to tender previously-owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax or other withholding requirements (but not in excess of the maximum withholding amount consistent with the Award being subject to equity accounting treatment under the Accounting Rules).  Any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 6(a)(6) will be treated as though such payment had been made directly to the Participant.

(7)Dividend Equivalents.  The Administrator may provide for the payment of amounts, on such terms and subject to conditions established by the Administrator, in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions with respect to Stock subject to an Award, whether or not the holder of such Award is otherwise entitled to share in the actual dividend or distribution in respect of such Award.  Subject to Section 6(a)(10), any entitlement to dividend equivalents or similar entitlements will be established and administered either consistent with an exemption from, or in compliance with, the applicable requirements of Section 409A.  Dividends and dividend equivalent amounts payable in respect of Awards that are subject to restrictions may be subject to such limitations or restrictions as the Administrator may impose.

(8)Rights Limited.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award will be construed as giving any person the right to be granted an Award or to continued employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any rights as a stockholder except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan.  The loss of existing or potential profit in any Award will not constitute an element of damages in the event of a termination of a Participant’s Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Participant.

(9)Coordination with Other Plans. Awards under the Plan may be granted in tandem with, or in satisfaction of or substitution for, other Awards under the Plan or awards made under other compensatory plans or programs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  For example, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, awards under other compensatory plans or programs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries may be settled in shares of Stock (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Stock) under the Plan if the Administrator so determines, in which case the shares will be treated as issued under the Plan (and will reduce the Share Pool in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 4).  

(10)Section 409A.  

(A)Without limiting the generality of Section 11(b), each Award will contain such terms as the Administrator determines and will be construed and administered such that the Award either qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Section 409A or satisfies such requirements.  

(B)If a Participant is determined on the date of the Participant’s termination of Employment to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then, with regard to any payment that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable, payable on account of a “separation from service”, such payment will be made

-16-


 

or provided on the date that is the earlier of (i) the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 6(a)(10)(B) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) will be paid on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period in a lump sum and any remaining payments due under the Award will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them in the applicable Award agreement.

(C)With regard to any payment considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, to the extent applicable, that is payable upon a change in control of the Company or other similar event, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of any additional tax, interest, or penalty under Section 409A, no amount will be payable unless such change in control constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations.

(D)For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under the Plan will be treated as a separate payment.  

(b)Stock Options and SARs.

(1)Time and Manner of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, no Stock Option or SAR will be considered to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise in a form acceptable to the Administrator that is signed by the appropriate person and accompanied by any payment required under the Award.  Any attempt to exercise a Stock Option or SAR by any person other than the Participant will not be given effect unless the Administrator has received such evidence as it may require that the person exercising the Award has the right to do so.

(2)Exercise Price.  The exercise price (or the base value from which appreciation is to be measured) of each Award requiring exercise must be no less than 100% (in the case of an ISO granted to a 10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant.  

(3)Payment of Exercise Price.  Where the exercise of an Award (or portion thereof) is to be accompanied by a payment, payment of the exercise price must be made by cash or check acceptable to the Administrator or, if so permitted by the Administrator and if legally permissible, (i) through the delivery of previously acquired unrestricted shares of Stock, or the withholding of unrestricted shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise, in either case, that have a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price; (ii) through a broker-assisted exercise program acceptable to the Administrator; (iii) by other means acceptable to the Administrator; or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment.  The delivery of previously acquired shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (i) above may be

-17-


 

accomplished either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of ownership, subject to such rules as the Administrator may prescribe.

(4)Maximum Term.  The maximum term of Stock Options and SARs must not exceed 10 years from the date of grant (or five years from the date of grant in the case of an ISO granted to a 10-percent stockholder described in Section 6(b)(2)).

(5)Repricing.  Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (which term includes, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares) or as otherwise contemplated by Section 7 below, The Company may not, without obtaining stockholder approval, (i) amend the terms of outstanding Stock Options or SARs to reduce the exercise price or base value of such Stock Options or SARs; (ii) cancel outstanding Stock Options or SARs in exchange for Stock Options or SARs with an exercise price or base value that is less than the exercise price or base value of the original Stock Options or SARs; or (iii) cancel outstanding Stock Options or SARs that have an exercise price or base value greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of such cancellation in exchange for cash or other consideration.

7.Effect of Certain Transactions

(a)Covered Transactions.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in an Award agreement or by the Administrator, the following provisions will apply in the event of a Covered Transaction:

(1)Assumption or Substitution.  If the Covered Transaction is one in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may provide for (i) the assumption or continuation of some or all outstanding Awards or any portion thereof or (ii) the grant of new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate of the acquiror or survivor.

(2)Cash-Out of Awards. Subject to Section 7(a)(5), the Administrator may provide for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Awards or any portion thereof (including only the vested portion thereof), equal in the case of each applicable Award or portion thereof to the excess, if any, of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award or such portion, minus (ii) the aggregate exercise or purchase price, if any, of such Award or portion (or, in the case of a SAR, the aggregate base value above which appreciation is measured), in each case, on such payment and other terms and subject to such conditions (which need not be the same as the terms and conditions applicable to holders of Stock generally ) as the Administrator determines, including that any amounts paid in respect of such Award in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the per share exercise or purchase price (or base value) of an Award or portion thereof is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock, such Award or portion may be cancelled with no payment due hereunder or otherwise in respect thereof.  

-18-


 

(3)Acceleration of Certain Awards. Subject to Section 7(a)(5), the Administrator may provide that any Award requiring exercise will become exercisable, in full or in part, and/or that the issuance of any shares of Stock remaining issuable under any outstanding Award of Stock Units (including Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards to the extent consisting of Stock Units) will be accelerated, in full or in part, in each case, on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, following the exercise of the Award or the issuance of the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a stockholder in the Covered Transaction.

(4)Termination of Awards upon Consummation of Covered Transaction.  Except as the Administrator may otherwise determine, each Award will automatically terminate (and in the case of outstanding shares of Restricted Stock, will automatically be forfeited) immediately upon the consummation of the Covered Transaction, other than (i) any Award that is assumed, continued or substituted for pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) and (ii) any Award that by its terms, or as a result of action taken by the Administrator, continues following the Covered Transaction.

(5)Additional Limitations.  Any share of Stock and any cash or other property delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(2) or Section 7(a)(3) with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator, contain such limitations or restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate, including to reflect any performance or other vesting conditions to which the Award was subject and that did not lapse (and were not satisfied) in connection with the Covered Transaction.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a cash-out under Section 7(a)(2) or an acceleration under Section 7(a)(3) will not, in and of itself, be treated as the lapsing (or satisfaction) of a performance or other vesting condition.  In the case of Restricted Stock that does not vest and is not forfeited in connection with the Covered Transaction, the Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of such Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.

(6)Uniform Treatment.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) in a uniform matter, and may treat different Participants and/or Awards differently, in connection with a Covered Transaction.

(b)Changes in and Distributions with Respect to Stock.

(1)Basic Adjustment Provisions.  In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in the Company’s capital structure that constitutes an equity restructuring within the meaning of the Accounting Rules, the Administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares of Stock specified in Section 4(a) that may be issued under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or securities underlying Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise or purchase prices (or base values) relating to Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by such change.

-19-


 

(2)Certain Other Adjustments.  The Administrator may also make adjustments of the type described in Section 7(b)(1) to take into account distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 7(a) and 7(b)(1), or any other event, if the Administrator determines that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan or any Award.

(3)Continuing Application of Plan Terms.  References in the Plan to shares of Stock will be construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.

8.Legal Conditions on the Issuance of Stock

The Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove any restriction from shares of Stock previously issued under the Plan until:  (i) the Company is satisfied that all legal matters in connection with the issuance of such shares have been addressed and resolved; (ii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of issuance listed on any stock exchange or national market system, the shares to be issued have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange or system upon official notice of issuance; and (iii) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied or waived.  The Company may require, as a condition to the exercise of an Award or the issuance of shares of Stock under an Award, such representations or agreements as counsel for the Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state or non-U.S. securities law.  Any Stock issued under the Plan will be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator determines appropriate, including book-entry registration or delivery of stock certificates.  In the event that the Administrator determines that stock certificates will be issued in connection with Stock issued under the Plan, the Administrator may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend reflecting any restriction on transfer applicable to such Stock, and the Company may hold the certificates pending the lapse of the applicable restrictions.

9.Amendment and Termination

The Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by applicable law, and may at any time terminate the Plan as to any future grants of Awards; provided that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the applicable Award, the Administrator may not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of an Award so as to materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, unless the Administrator expressly reserved the right to do in the Plan or at the time the applicable Award was granted.   Any amendments to the Plan will be conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by applicable law (including the Code) or stock exchange requirements, as determined by the Administrator.  For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to any Award pursuant to the terms of Section 7 will be treated as an amendment requiring a Participant’s consent.

-20-


 

10.Other Compensation Arrangements

The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not affect the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to grant any person bonuses or other compensation in addition to Awards under the Plan.

11.Miscellaneous

(a)Waiver of Jury Trial.  By accepting or being deemed to have accepted an Award under the Plan, each Participant waives (or will be deemed to have waived), to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights under the Plan or any Award, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and agrees (or will be deemed to have agreed) that any such action, proceedings or counterclaim will be tried before a court and not before a jury.  By accepting or being deemed to have accepted an Award under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer, representative, or attorney of the Company has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Company would not, in the event of any action, proceeding, or counterclaim, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, nothing herein is to be construed as limiting the ability of the Company and a Participant to agree to submit any dispute arising under the terms of the Plan or any Award to binding arbitration or as limiting the ability of the Company to require any individual to agree to submit such disputes to binding arbitration as a condition of receiving an Award hereunder.

(b)Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award, neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor the Administrator, nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or the Administrator, will be liable to any Participant, to any permitted transferee, to the estate or beneficiary of any Participant or any permitted transferee, or to any other person by reason of any acceleration of income, any additional tax, or any penalty, interest or other liability asserted by reason of the failure of an Award to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A, by reason of Section 4999 of the Code, or otherwise asserted with respect to any Award.

(c)Unfunded Plan.  The Company’s obligations under the Plan are unfunded, and no Participant will have any right to specific assets of the Company in respect of any Award.  Participants will be general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to any amounts due or payable under the Plan.

(d)Section 162(m).  To the extent applicable, Awards granted pursuant to the Plan are intended to be eligible for exemption from the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code by reason of the post-initial public offering transition relief set forth in Section 1.162-27(f) of the Treasury Regulations.  

-21-


 

12.Establishment of Sub-Plans

The Administrator may at any time and from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan (for local law compliance purposes or other purposes or administrative reasons determined by the Administrator) by adopting supplements to the Plan containing, in each case, (i) such limitations on the Administrator’s discretion under the Plan and (ii) such additional terms and conditions, as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable.  Each supplement so established will be deemed to be part of the Plan but will apply only to Participants within the group to which the supplement applies (as determined by the Administrator).

13.Governing Law

(a)Certain Requirements of Corporate Law.  Awards and shares of Stock will be granted, issued and administered consistent with the requirements of applicable Delaware law relating to the issuance of stock and the consideration to be received therefor, and with the applicable requirements of the stock exchanges or other trading systems on which the Stock is listed or entered for trading, in each case, as determined by the Administrator.

(b)Other Matters.  Except as otherwise provided by the express terms of an Award agreement, under a sub-plan described in Section 12 or as provided in Section 13(a), the domestic substantive laws of the State of New Hampshire govern the provisions of the Plan and of Awards under the Plan and all claims or disputes arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award under the Plan or relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

(c)Jurisdiction.  By accepting (or being deemed to have accepted) an Award, each Participant agrees or will be deemed to have agreed to (i) submit irrevocably and unconditionally to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award; (ii) not commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Plan or any Award, except in the federal and state courts located within the geographic boundaries of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire; and (iii) waive, and not assert, by way of motion as a defense or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that he or she is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts that his or her property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the Plan or any Award or the subject matter thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.
