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 SEC on February 24, 2021 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.

1. Description of Business

 

Vapotherm, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global medical technology company primarily 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. In certain countries outside of the United States, the Company offers the Oxygen Assist Module, which was launched in the United Kingdom, select European markets, and Israel in late 2020. 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 adapters. 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 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 experienced a significant increase in worldwide demand for its products from both new and existing accounts in 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, as compared to prior year periods. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s 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 variants of the virus and the actions taken to treat or contain COVID-19 or to otherwise limit its impact, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, among other factors.

On November 13, 2020, the Company acquired HGE Health Care Solutions LLC (“HGE”). The Company undertook the acquisition to expand its capabilities by providing a remote monitoring platform designed to empower respiratory patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) and providers to manage day-to-day symptoms, prevent exacerbations, lower costs and improve patient quality of life. See Note 3 “Business Combinations” to these condensed consolidated financial statements for details of this transaction.

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, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Our accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2020 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 Medical Ltd. (“Solus”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in the United Kingdom, HGE, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company located in the United States, and Vapotherm Deutschland GmbH, a new wholly owned subsidiary of the Company located in Germany. 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 three reporting units, Vapotherm, Solus and HGE. 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 $0.2 million as of each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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, including the fair value of contingent consideration and estimated incurred but not reported insurance obligations, and the valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in 2021. None of the reclassifications had any impact to the Company’s results of operations.

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2021, 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 or market interest rates. All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at creditworthy financial institutions. At March 31, 2021, deposits exceeded the amount of any federal depository 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 its 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 the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at 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, 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 March 31, 2021, $0.6 million of our $94.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was located outside the United States.

beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company changed to the units-of-production method to better reflect the pattern of economic consumption of the tooling. The prospective change to the units-of-production depreciation method had an immaterial impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements and is included in depreciation expense. Demonstration equipment represents internally manufactured capital equipment that is used on-site at trade shows and at customer locations to demonstrate the Precision Flow system. Depreciation expense on demonstration equipment is recorded in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Placement and evaluation systems represent capital equipment placed at customer locations under placement or evaluation agreements for which depreciation expense is included in cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

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, 2020 to March 31, 2021 is as follows:

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 systems, the 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 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, the sale of extended service contracts and preventative maintenance plans, which are purchased by a small portion of the Company’s customer base and revenue related to HGE’s “software as a service” platform. 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 Codifications (“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 Company 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

12


VAPOTHERM, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

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. 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.

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 a practical expedient under ASC 606, 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.

The Company’s contracts with its customers generally 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 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), 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 present value of the lease payments due over the lease term as revenue at the inception of the lease. The Company records the present value of future lease payments in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; these amounts totaled $2.1 million and $2.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Equipment included in arrangements that do not include the transfer of title, nor any of the sales-type or direct financing lease criteria, are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis 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 obligation.

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 March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.5 and $0.3 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.

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 of its common stock 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 months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020 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 December 31, 2020 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

 

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, emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates, or public entities meeting the definition of smaller reporting companies as of the date of issuance of this update. Since the Company met the definition of a smaller reporting company as of the date of issuance of this update, the Company is not required to adopt ASU 2016-13 until January 1, 2023. 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 Combination

On November 13, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding membership interests of HGE, whose principal assets included intangible assets related to customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and trade names. The Company undertook the acquisition to expand its capabilities by providing a remote monitoring platform which is designed to empower respiratory patients with COPD and providers to manage day-to-day symptoms, prevent exacerbations, lower costs and improve patient quality of life.

The purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $19.3 million was funded with an initial cash payment of $8.4 million and $10.9 million of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is payable in cash or common stock, at the sole discretion of the Company, and will be remitted in future milestone payments, one following calendar year 2021, one following calendar year 2022, and one following calendar year 2023. The final three payments will be adjusted up or down based on the revenue performance of certain HGE service offerings during those three years. The acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The Company is in the process of finalizing its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an adjustment to correct immaterial errors related to the acquisition which reduced the estimated purchase price by $2.3 million and decreased goodwill, intangible assets and other liabilities by $2.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

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. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be subject to change as additional information is received. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

The fair value of the intangible asset associated with customer relationships was 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 expense forecast was built based upon specific intangible asset revenue and expense estimates. The fair value of the intangible asset associated with developed technology, trademarks and trade names was valued using the relief from royalty method. Under this method, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of the estimated after-tax royalty savings generated over the life of the assets. Royalty rates were selected based on market review of third-party licensing arrangements. The fair value of the contingent consideration was valued based on a Monte-Carlo simulation of HGE’s estimated future revenue discounted to its present value.

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 HGE.

The amortization period for each of the intangible assets is 10 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 expansion opportunity of the remote monitoring platform for respiratory patients and providers. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has included the financial results of HGE 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 2020.

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.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had two items, cash equivalents and contingent consideration, measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s cash equivalents primarily consist of money market deposits which total approximately $77.3 million at March 31, 2021 and are valued based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s contingent consideration which totals $11.1 million at March 31, 2021 relates to the 2020 acquisition of HGE and is valued based on Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as describe in Note 3 “Business Combination.” There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, 2 or 3.

The Company recognized $0.1 million of amortization expense within sales and marketing expenses related to the intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company also recognized less than $0.1 million of amortization expense within general and administrative expenses related to intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2021 with no such amounts being recorded within general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

8. Debt

Current Credit Facilities

On October 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Innovation Banking (“CIBC”) which 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 former revolving loan facility and term loan facility, described in more detail below.

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 Revolving Facility bears interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 1.0% and is subject to a floor of 3.25%. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 4.25%. The outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility was $4.9 million at March 31, 2021 and there were letters of credit of $1.2 million outstanding at March 31, 2021. Availability under the Revolving Facility is determined based on eligible receivables reduced by letters of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2021, there were no additional borrowings available under the Revolving Facility.

The Term Facility will mature on October 21, 2025. Advances under the Term Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5% and is subject to a floor of 3.25%. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 5.75%. The outstanding balance was $40.0 million at March 31, 2021. The Loan Agreement provides for interest-only payments on the Term Facility for the first 36 months through October 21, 2023. Thereafter, amortization payments on the Term Facility will be payable monthly in 24 equal installments. The Term Facility may not be prepaid prior to October 21, 2021 without prepaying all of the interest that otherwise would have been payable on the Term Facility during the period commencing on October 21, 2020 and ending on October 21, 2021, 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 October 21, 2021 but on or prior to October 21, 2022, and (ii) 1.0%, if such prepayment occurs after October 21, 2022 but on or prior to October 21, 2023. The Term Facility and Revolving Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s 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) the Company’s failure to make any payments of principal or interest under the Loan Agreement or other loan documents, (2) the Company’s 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 funds of the Company or its subsidiaries, (5) the Company’s insolvency or bankruptcy, or (6) the occurrence of certain material defaults with respect to any other of the Company’s 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.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement.

Prior Credit Facilities

On October 21, 2020, the Company used $40 million of the Term Facility, approximately $4.9 million of the Revolving Facility, and approximately $6.3 million of cash on hand to pay off all obligations owing under, and to terminate, both its prior Credit Agreement and Guaranty, as amended (the “Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”), with Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP (“Perceptive”) and its Business Financing Agreement, as amended (the “Amended Revolver Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank. As a result of the termination of the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty and the Amended Revolver Agreement, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million, which included the prepayment penalty, exit fees, write-off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, and legal fees, during the fourth quarter of 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $42.6 million of term debt outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty, which accrued interest at an annual rate equal to 9.06% plus the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR or (b) 1.75% per year, and $4.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver Agreement, which accrued interest monthly on the average outstanding balance at the WSJ Prime Rate plus 1.75%, floating, subject to a floor of 3.5%. This prior term debt was scheduled to mature in 2023 and although the prior line of credit was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2020, this was extended during the third quarter of 2020, to April 6, 2023. The Amended Revolver Agreement had made available up to $7.5 million of revolving credit 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). As previously mentioned, both of these term debt and revolving line of credit were paid off and terminated on October 21, 2020 when the Company established its new Facilities.

 

 

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

 

In May 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office and storage space at 100 Domain Drive, Exeter New Hampshire and has entered into several amendments since then to lease additional space. In total, the Company occupies approximately 95,320 square feet of space at this facility and the lease, as most recently amended, is scheduled to expire on January 28, 2025. The Company has the option to renew the lease for two additional five-year terms by providing written notice twelve months prior to end of the initial or first lease extension term. The Company is not reasonably certain that it will renew the lease beyond January 2025.

 

In October 2019, the Company entered into an assignation and variation agreement for a lease of 453 square meters of office and warehouse space at 2 Dryden Loan, Bilston Glen Industrial Estate, Loanhead in the United Kingdom. The lease term expires on February 15, 2022 and will automatically renew for an additional five-year period unless the Company terminates the lease by providing written notice to the landlord one month prior to the end of the current lease term. The Company is not reasonably certain that it will renew the lease beyond February 2022.

 

In November 2020, in connection with the acquisition of HGE, the Company assumed a real estate lease for 22,524 square feet of office space at 1301 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. The lease term expires on July 31, 2025. The Company has the option to renew the lease for one additional five-year term by providing written notice six months prior to end of the current lease term. The Company is not reasonably certain that it will renew the lease beyond July 2025.

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2020. As a result, the March 31, 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements have been updated, as applicable, to reflect the adoption of this standard. There was no effect of the change on the Company’s 2020 results of operations as a result of the adoption. The following table presents operating lease cost and information related to operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for the periods indicated:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

The ESPP provides for successive discrete offering periods of approximately six months or as determined by the plan administrator. Offering periods begin on each November 15th and May 15th or the first trading day thereafter.

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. 

 

13. Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company excluded the following potential common shares, based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

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 March 31, 2021, 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 2020 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Vapotherm is a global medical technology company primarily 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 products deliver 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 technology, 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 March 31, 2021, more than 2.8 million patients have been treated with our Precision Flow systems, and we have a global installed base of over 30,000 capital units.

The efficacy of our 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 NiPPV while addressing many of its limitations, evidenced in part by our sponsored 204 patient, multisite randomized controlled trial in the ED which was published in the July 2018 issue of Annals of Emergency Medicine. 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 February 2021, Critical Care Explorations published a multi-center, prospective observational case study that showed High Velocity Therapy was an effective tool for reducing the respiratory rate in COPD patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Our business was significantly transformed during 2020 due to increased demand for our High Velocity Therapy technology for treatment of COVID-19 patients, as evidenced by year over year revenue growth of 161.4% from 2019 to 2020. For the first quarter of 2021, our net revenues grew by 55.4% over the same period in 2020. In addition, our worldwide installed base of Precision Flow Hi-VNI systems grew by 72.5% compared to the first quarter of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to this transformation in at least two primary ways: First, it resulted in increased awareness of high flow therapy, including recognition by the CDC, WHO, NIH, Society for Critical Care Medicine, American College of Emergency Physicians, and the Chinese, German, Italian, and Australian thoracic societies of high flow therapy as an appropriate first line therapy for those suffering from low oxygen levels. Second, many respiratory distress patients who require ventilatory support are initially treated in a hospital’s ED with the goal of stabilizing these patients with a non-invasive ventilation therapy so their underlying condition can be treated. Our existing focus on hospital emergency departments as an effective entry point for our products resulted in our systems being in the right place at the right time when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. This exposed a significant number of new physicians to the efficacy of our High Velocity Therapy technology, especially as they were able to see patients moved out of the emergency room and into lower acuity settings in the hospital after receiving our High Velocity Therapy. We expect that increased awareness among physicians of the efficacy of our High Velocity Therapy to treat patients in respiratory distress, whether they are hypoxic or hypercapnic, will result in expanded use of our products in a variety of settings.

 

We currently offer four versions of our Precision Flow systems: Precision Flow Hi-VNI, Precision Flow Plus, Precision Flow Classic and Precision Flow Heliox. In certain countries outside of the United States we currently offer our Oxygen Assist Module, which was fully launched in the United Kingdom, select European markets, and Israel in late 2020. The Oxygen Assist Module can be used with all versions of our Precision Flow systems except for the Precision Flow Heliox. The Oxygen Assist Module is designed to help clinicians maintain a patient’s pulse oxygen saturation (“SpO2”) within a target SpO2 range over a greater period 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. In neonates, these risks include visual or developmental impairment or death.

 

In February 2021, we upgraded the software on approximately 45 Oxygen Assist Module units outside of the United States from software version 2.2.0 to software version 2.5.0. Subsequently, a bug in software version 2.5.0 was discovered by one of our employees. Although there have been no reports of patient injury associated with this bug and we believe risk of patient injury is unlikely, out of an abundance of caution, we immediately notified our users and undertook a field action to remove software version

25


 

2.5.0 from all upgraded units and downgrade these units to software version 2.2.0 until the issue is resolved. All software downgrades have been completed.

 

The Oxygen Assist Module was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA on April 2, 2020 for the following indication: Oxygen Assist Module 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 delivered to spontaneously breathing patients based on continuous non-invasive monitoring of pulse oxygen saturation. Oxygen Assist Module is intended to treat pediatric patients (neonates and infants ≥1000g) in monitored clinical environments (e.g., the NICU). We are continuing to work with FDA through the Breakthrough Device program to make our Oxygen Assist Module available in the United States, with the first step being an investigational device exemption for pediatric evaluation of the Oxygen Assist Module in the United States. Our IDE clinical study was approved on April 29, 2021. We expect to begin enrollment in this clinical study later in the second quarter of 2021.

 

We are also in the process of seeking FDA clearance for our High Velocity Therapy 2.0 (“HVT 2.0”) as the next generation of our Precision Flow system. Subject to receipt of FDA clearance, the HVT 2.0 is targeted to be released in the United States in the second half of 2021. The HVT 2.0 represents the next generation of High Velocity Therapy. The system retains the core competencies of the current Precision Flow platform and, with an internal blower, is designed to eliminate the need for wall air. With a variable oxygen connection (tank, wall or concentrator) the HVT 2.0 system is designed to support patients wherever they need respiratory support, including outside of the hospital in a home or future use in a field transport setting. A large intuitive display with touchscreen operation, on screen troubleshooting guidance, and a fully assembled disposable are designed to minimize clinician time spent on operating the equipment so they can focus on their patient. Despite not yet having received 510(k) clearance from the FDA, on February 12, 2021, the FDA notified us that, under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) issued on March 24, 2020, the HVT 2.0 was authorized for emergency use in healthcare settings to treat patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, subject to the conditions set forth in the EUA. We recently received a positive assessment from our Notified Body for the HVT 2.0, allowing us to affix the CE mark and sell HVT 2.0 in the European Union. As a result, we expect to initiate a limited market release in certain European countries in the second quarter of 2021 before moving to a full market release in the second half of 2021.

Historically, we have generated revenue primarily from sales of the disposable products utilized with our proprietary Precision Flow systems and our Oxygen Assist Module, and to a lesser extent, from the sale or lease of the capital units themselves. However, due to demand for our High Velocity Therapy technology during the COVID-19 pandemic, we generated revenue primarily from sales of our Precision Flow systems in 2020, which although putting pressure on our margins also resulted in a 72.8% increase in our installed base, which we expect will drive future recurring disposable revenue. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business during 2021 and beyond 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 variants of the virus, and the actions taken to treat or contain COVID-19 or to otherwise limit its impact, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, among other factors. For example, as COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to decrease and vaccinations continue to increase, we expect our product mix to normalize back to historical levels and the overall demand for our products may be negatively impacted. Also, worldwide precautionary measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections, have impacted, and may continue to impact, flu and flu-related illnesses, which could negatively impact our future revenue.

We sell our Precision Flow systems to hospitals through a direct sales organization in the United States and in the United Kingdom and we sell our Precision Flow systems through distributors in other select countries outside of the United States and the United Kingdom. Our Oxygen Assist Module is sold through a direct sales organization in the United Kingdom and through distributors in Europe and the Middle East. We expanded the commercial launch of our Oxygen Assist Module throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we employ field-based clinical educators who focus on medical education and training in the effective use of our products and help facilitate increased adoption and 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. As of March 31, 2021, we have sold our Precision Flow systems to over 1,700 hospitals across the United States, where they have been primarily deployed in the ICU setting.

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity securities, sales of our Precision Flow systems and their associated disposables, 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, Oxygen Assist Module and HVT 2.0, 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, including our Vapotherm Academy which was instrumental during the pandemic and used to train more than 28,000 caregivers during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.

26


 

We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization by increasing the number of U.S. sales representatives, expanding the number of clinical educators internationally along with our international marketing programs and expanding worldwide 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, we expect to continue to make investments in our production capabilities related to future generations of High Velocity Therapy products. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur net losses for the next several years and we expect to require additional funding, which may include future equity and debt financings.

Net revenue increased $13.2 million, or 69.0%, to $32.3 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $19.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net revenue was primarily attributable to a $6.2 million and $4.7 million increase in capital equipment and disposable revenue, respectively. Capital equipment revenue increased 123.4% in the first quarter of 2021 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. Disposable revenue increased 38.0% in the first quarter of 2021 primarily driven by an increase in the worldwide installed base of Precision Flow units, higher volume 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. The increase in service and other revenue in the first quarter of 2021 is primarily the result of HGE revenue as a result of the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Revenue generated in the United States increased $7.7 million, or 53.9%, to $22.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. Revenue generated in our International markets increased $5.5 million, or 114.5%, to $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. Both United States and International revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in the number of Precision Flow units sold period over period due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in disposable sales due to higher installed bases of Precision Flow units. Revenue growth in the United States was also driven by an increase in average selling prices on capital equipment and disposables for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

 

Cost of revenue increased $5.2 million, or 53.0%, to $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher materials and labor costs due to an 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 53.1% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 48.2% in the first quarter of 2020. Gross profit was positively impacted by improved overhead and labor absorption due to higher 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 and disposables 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 46.0%, to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 15.2% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 17.6% in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in research and development expenses was due to increased product development, prototype, and patent-related 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 $0.6 million, or 4.4%, to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $13.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 43.0% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 69.7% in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to increased employee-related expenses as a result of an increase in the size of the sales and marketing organization and increased stock-based compensation, partially offset by a reduction in travel expenses and certain marketing initiatives, such as trade shows, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million, or 53.5%, to $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 24.9% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 27.5% in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses, stock-based compensation, audit and compliance related costs, changes in the value of contingent consideration, and increased insurance, legal costs, bank services charges and rent, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable.

28


 

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net decreased $0.4 million, or 37.6%, to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in other expense, net was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to lower average interest rates on outstanding borrowings in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $94.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $327.4 million. Our primary sources of capital to date have been from sales of our equity securities, sales of our Precision Flow systems and their associated disposables and amounts borrowed under credit facilities. Since inception, we have raised a total of $162.6 million in net proceeds from sales of our equity securities.

We believe that our existing cash resources and availability under our revolving facility described below 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 enter new debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders would experience dilution. Additional 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 products and services.

Credit Facilities

On October 21, 2020, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Innovation Banking (“CIBC”) which 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 former term loan facility and revolving line of credit, which are described in more detail below. As of March 31, 2021, we had $4.9 million and $40.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Facility and Term Facility, respectively.

The Revolving Facility will mature on October 21, 2022 and may be renewed on an annual basis thereafter by mutual agreement of us and CIBC. The Revolving Facility bears interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 1.0% and is subject to a floor of 3.25%. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 4.25%. The outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility was $4.9 million at March 31, 2021 and there were letters of credit of $1.2 million outstanding at March 31, 2021. Availability under the Revolving Facility is determined based on eligible receivables reduced by letters of credit outstanding. At March 31, 2021, there were no additional borrowings available under the Revolving Facility.

The Term Facility will mature on October 21, 2025. Advances under the Term Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5% and is subject to a floor of 3.25%. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 5.75%. The outstanding balance was $40.0 million at March 31, 2021. The Loan Agreement provides for interest-only payments on the Term Facility for the first 36 months through October 21, 2023. Thereafter, amortization payments on the Term Facility will be payable monthly in 24 equal installments. The Term Facility may not be prepaid prior to October 21, 2021 without prepaying all of the interest that otherwise would have been payable on the Term Facility during the period commencing on October 21, 2020 and ending on October 21, 2021, 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 October 21, 2021 but on or prior to October 21, 2022, and (ii) 1.0%, if such prepayment occurs after October 21, 2022 but on or prior to October 21, 2023. The Term Facility and Revolving Facility 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.

As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement.

On October 21, 2020, we used $40 million of the Term Facility, approximately $4.9 million of the Revolving Facility, and approximately $6.3 million of cash on hand to pay off all obligations owing under, and to terminate, both our prior Credit Agreement and Guaranty, as amended (the “Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”), with Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP (“Perceptive”) and our Business Financing Agreement, as amended (the “Amended Revolver Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank. As a result of the termination of the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty and the Amended Revolver Agreement, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million, which included the prepayment penalty, exit fees, write-off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, and legal fees, during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

At-the-Market Agreement

On December 20, 2019, we entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) under which we may offer and sell our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Jefferies as our sales agent. We did not sell any shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. The ATM Agreement will remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement or such date that the maximum offering amount has been sold in accordance with the terms of the agreement. As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $39.8 million in remaining capacity under this program.

(a)

Represents interest on our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Facility. See further discussion in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The amounts reflected in the table above exclude estimated contingent consideration of up to $11.1 million related to the HGE  acquisition which is payable in cash or Vapotherm common stock, at the sole discretion of the Company, and will be remitted in future milestone payments, one following calendar year 2021, one following calendar year 2022, and one following calendar year 2023. The three payments will be adjusted up or down based on the revenue performance of certain HGE service offerings during those three years. See further discussion in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Portions of these payments are denominated in foreign currencies and were translated in the table above based on their respective U.S. dollar exchange rates at March 31, 2021. These future payments are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

The amounts reflected in the table above for operating leases represent future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases primarily for certain office space and equipment.

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 material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management believes that such estimates have been based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and the resulting estimates are reasonable for use in the preparation of the condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgements and uncertainties, the most important and pervasive accounting policies used and areas most sensitive to material changes from external factors. The critical accounting policies that we believe affect our more significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from variable interest rates applicable to borrowings under our Revolving Facility and our Term Facility and interest rates associated with our invested cash balances. Borrowings under our Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 1.0% and is subject to a floor of 3.25%. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 4.25%. Borrowings under our Term Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the WSJ Prime Rate plus 2.5% and is subject to a floor of 3.25%. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 5.75%. As of March 31, 2021, borrowings under our Revolving Facility and Term Facility total $4.9 million and $40.0 million, respectively. Based on our outstanding borrowings and the WSJ Prime Rate, a 100 basis point increase in the annual interest rate on our outstanding borrowings would have a $0.5 million impact on our interest expense on an annual basis.

On March 31, 2021, we had cash invested in money market deposits of $77.3 million. We believe that a 10 basis point change in interest rates is reasonably possible in the near term. Certain of our cash and cash equivalents balances exceed FDIC insured limits. We place our cash and cash equivalents in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Based on our current level of cash investments, an increase or decrease of 10 basis points in interest rates would have a $0.1 million impact to our interest income on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency Risk

For our non-U.S. subsidiary that transacts in a functional currency in British pound sterling, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date. 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. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period. As a result, our financial condition and operating results are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to the British pound sterling. Revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar represented approximately 2.4% and 4.9% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total assets denominated in the British pound sterling represented less than 0.1% of our total assets at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Given the immateriality of net revenues and assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, a 10% fluctuation in exchange rates would have an immaterial impact to our consolidated net revenues and consolidated total assets. We do not use foreign exchange contracts or derivatives to hedge any foreign currency exposures.

Inflation Risk

 

Inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold and selling and operating expenses, may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin and sales and marketing and operating expenses as a percentage of our revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase as much as or more than these increased costs.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(b)

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 of March 31, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

(c)

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).

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 2020 Form 10-K which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. 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 February 24, 2021.

 

ITEM 5.     OTHER INFORMATION

 

On April 21, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an amendment to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) providing for double-trigger vesting in the event of a change in control (as defined in the Plan). The addition of double-trigger vesting is consistent with prevailing market practice and is intended to help attract and retain top talent. Under the amendment, if the acquirer in a change of control does not offer a Plan participant a substantially similar job and equity grant, all unvested equity awards held by such participant would accelerate and vest, and all unvested performance awards held by such participant (if any) would accelerate and vest and be paid out for the entire performance period based on the higher of target or actual performance.

 

The foregoing description of the Plan amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated Plan, itself, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.1

 

Vapotherm, Inc.

Amended and Restated 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 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.

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 and except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b) or below, the following rules will apply if a Participant’s Employment ceases:

(A)Except as provided in (B) and (C) below or in Section 7(b), 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 or in Section 7(b), 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

-3-

 

 


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.

(C)Subject to (D) below and Section 7(b), 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)Subject to Section 7(b), 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 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

-4-

 

 


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 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

-5-

 

 


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

-6-

 

 


(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 Section 7(b) below or 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.  

(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

-7-

 

 


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)Effect of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan and except as otherwise expressly provided in an Award agreement or Individual Agreement, in each case which provides for treatment that is more favorable to a Participant than as provided under this Section 7(b), the following provisions will apply in the event of a Change in Control and will apply to all Awards outstanding under this Plan as of such Change in Control, including, for the avoidance of any doubt, all Awards outstanding under this Plan as of such Change in Control which were granted on or after the Initial Adoption Date:

(1)Continuation, Assumption or Substitution of Outstanding Awards.  In the event of a Change in Control in which the surviving or successor organization (or parent thereof) (the “Successor”) proposes to continue, assume or substitute equivalent awards (with such adjustments as may be required or permitted by Section 7(c) of this Plan), any substitute equivalent award must (a) have a value at least equal to the value of the Award being substituted; (b) relate to a publicly-traded equity security of the Successor involved in the Change in Control or another publicly traded entity that is affiliated with the Successor following the Change in Control; (c) be the same type of award as the Award being substituted; (d) be vested to the extent the Award being substituted was vested at the time of the Change in Control and (e) have other terms and conditions (including by way of example, vesting, exercisability and Change in Control Protection that are

-8-

 

 


the same or more favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Award being substituted, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Committee (as constituted prior to the Change in Control) in good faith. If a Participant’s Award is continued, assumed or substituted by the Successor pursuant to this Section 7(b)(1), then, provided such Participant has not suffered a Termination of Continued Employment in connection with the Change in Control, and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 7(b), such Award will not vest or lapse solely as a result of the Change in Control but will instead remain outstanding under the terms pursuant to which it has been continued, assumed or substituted and will continue to vest or lapse pursuant to such terms.

(2)Termination of Continued Employment; No Continuation, Assumption or Substitution of Outstanding Awards; Dissolution or Liquidation. If an Award Participant suffers a Termination of Continued Employment in connection with a Change in Control, or if for any reason outstanding Awards are not continued, assumed or substituted with equivalent awards pursuant to Section 7(b)(1) of this Plan (including where the proposed terms offered by the Successor are determined by the Committee not to meet the requirements of Section 7(b)(1)), or in the case of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, such outstanding Awards will be subject to the following rules, in each case effective immediately prior to such Change in Control but conditioned upon completion of such Change in Control:

(A)Stock Options and SARs. All Stock Options and SARs will become fully vested and exercisable. The Administrator will give Participants a reasonable opportunity (at least twenty (20) days if practicable) to exercise any or all Stock Options and SARs before the transaction resulting in the Change in Control (including cashless exercise by such Participants) (but any such exercise will be contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control and if the Change in Control does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the exercise will be null and void and such Stock Options and SARs will be restored to their status as if there had been no Change in Control). If a Participant does not exercise all Stock Options and SARs prior to the Change in Control, the Administrator will pay such Participant in exchange for the cancellation of each such unexercised Stock Option and SAR the difference between the exercise price for such Option or the grant price for such SAR and the per share of Stock consideration provided to other similarly situated stockholders in such Change in Control; provided, however, that if the exercise price of such Stock Option or the grant price of such SAR exceeds the aforementioned consideration provided, then such unexercised Stock Option or SAR will be canceled and terminated without any payment.

(B)Lapse of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit and Stock Unit Restrictions that are not Performance Awards. All restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units that are not Performance Awards will lapse and be of no further force and effect. Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units will be settled and paid in cash or shares of Stock and at such time, each as provided in the Award agreement; provided, however that if any such payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the Committee may in its discretion, provide such holders the consideration provided to other similarly situated stockholders in such Change in Control; and provided, further, that if the Change in Control does not take place, the restrictions imposed on such Restricted Stock, Restricted

-9-

 

 


Stock Units or Stock Units will be restored to their status as if there had been no Change in Control.

(C)Vesting, Payment and Achievement Performance Awards. All Performance Awards for which the Performance Period has been completed as of the date of the Change in Control but have not yet been paid will vest and be paid in cash or shares of Stock and at such time, each as provided in the Award agreement, based on actual attainment of each Performance Goal. All Performance Awards for which the Performance Period has not been completed as of the date of the Change in Control will with respect to each Performance Goal, vest and be paid out for the entire Performance Period (and not pro rata) based on the higher of target performance or actual performance achieved through the date of the Change in Control, with the manner of payment to be made in cash or shares of Stock as provided in the Award agreement as soon as reasonably practicable after the Change in Control, but no later than within thirty (30) days following the date of the Change in Control; provided, however that if any such payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the Administrator may in its reasonable discretion, provide such holders the consideration provided to other similarly situated stockholders in such Change in Control; and provided, further, that if the Change in Control does not take place, the performance-based vesting imposed on such Performance Awards will be restored to their status as if there had been no Change in Control.

(3)Treatment of Awards Upon Termination Subsequent to Continuation, Assumption or Substitution of Awards. If within two (2) years following a Change in Control, (i) a Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated by the Successor (or an Affiliate thereof) without Cause, or if the Participant is a Director, his or her service as a Director is terminated by the Successor (or an Affiliate thereof) without Cause or (ii) the Participant resigns as an Employee for Good Reason, then the following rules will apply to all of the continued, assumed or substituted Awards held by such Participant:

(A)Vesting of Stock Options and SARs. All Stock Options and SARs will become immediately vested and exercisable in full and will remain exercisable for the remainder of their respective terms.

(B)Lapse of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit and Stock Unit Restrictions that are not Performance Awards. All restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units that are not Performance Awards will lapse and be of no further force and effect. Such Restricted Stock Units and Stock Units will be settled and paid in cash or shares of Stock as provided in the Award agreement. If such Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units will be paid within thirty (30) days following such termination or resignation. If such Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units are considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Restricted Stock Units or Stock Units will be paid within the thirty (30) day period following the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) (a “Separation from Service”); provided, however, that if at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service, such Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), then payment will be

-10-

 

 


suspended as provided under Section 6(a)(10)(C), except as permitted under Code Section 409A.

(C)Vesting, Payment and Achievement of Performance Awards. All Performance Awards for which the Performance Period has been completed as of the date of such termination or resignation but have not yet been paid will vest and be paid in cash or shares of Stock and at such time, each as provided in the Award agreement, based on actual attainment of each Performance Goal. All Performance Awards for which the Performance Period has not been completed as of the date of such termination or resignation will with respect to each Performance Goal, vest and be paid out for the entire Performance Period (and not pro rata) based on the higher of target performance or actual performance achieved through the date of the such termination or resignation, with the manner of payment to be made in cash or shares of Stock as provided in the Award agreement within thirty (30) days following the date of such termination or resignation. If such Awards are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Awards will be paid within the thirty (30) day period following the Participant’s Separation from Service; provided, however, that if at such time, such Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), then payment will be suspended as provided under Section 6(a)(10)(C), except as permitted under Code Section 409A.

(4)Termination, Amendment, and Modifications of Change in Control Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Award agreement, the provisions of this Section 7(b) may not be terminated, amended, or modified in any manner that adversely affects any then-outstanding Award or Award Participant without the prior written consent of the Participant.

(5)Limitation on Change in Control Payments. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7(b)(1), 7(b)(2) or 7(b)(3) of this Plan to the contrary, if, with respect to a Participant, the acceleration of the vesting of an Award or the payment of cash in exchange for all or part of a Stock-based Award (which acceleration or payment could be deemed a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), together with any other “payments” that such Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation that is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the “payments” to such Participant pursuant to Section 7(b)(1), 7(b)(2) or 7(b)(3) of this Plan will be reduced (or acceleration of vesting eliminated) to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such “payments” being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that such reduction will be made only if the aggregate amount of the payments after such reduction exceeds the difference between (a) the amount of such payments absent such reduction minus (b) the aggregate amount of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code attributable to any such excess parachute payments; and provided, further that such payments will be reduced (or acceleration of vesting eliminated) in the following order: (a) Stock Options with an exercise price above fair market value that have a positive value for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, (b) pro rata among Awards that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and (c) finally, among the Awards that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a Participant is subject to a separate agreement with the Company or an Affiliate that expressly

-11-

 

 


addresses the potential application of Section 280G or 4999 of the Code, then this Section 7(b)(5) will not apply and any “payments” to a Participant pursuant to Section 7(b)(1), 7(b)(2) or 7(b)(3) of this Plan will be treated as “payments” arising under such agreement; provided, however, such separate agreement may not modify the time or form of payment under any Award that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code if the modification would cause such Award to become subject to the adverse tax consequences specified in Section 409A of the Code.

(c)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.

(2)Certain Other Adjustments.  The Administrator may also make adjustments of the type described in Section 7(c)(1) to take into account distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 7(a) and 7(c)(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 (the “1933 Act”), 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.

-12-

 

 


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.

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.

-13-

 

 


(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.  

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

-14-

 

 


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.

Change in Control Protection”: Provisions intended to protect a pre-Change in Control Award Participant from forfeiture by ceasing the vesting or otherwise causing a lapse of pre-Change in Control Awards as a result of: (a) a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, in each case within a specified period of time after the Change in Control; or (b) a Termination of Continued Employment.

“Fair Market Value”:  As of a particular date, (i) the closing price for a share of Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or any other national securities exchange on which the Stock is then listed) on that date or, if no closing price is reported for that date, the closing price on the immediately preceding date on which a closing price was reported or (ii) in the event that the Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange, the fair market value of a share of Stock determined by the Administrator consistent with the rules of Section 422 and Section 409A to the extent applicable.

“Good Reason”:  unless otherwise provided in an Award agreement, the occurrence of any of the following without the prior written consent of the Participant, unless such act or failure to act is corrected by the Company within thirty (30) days of such occurrence:

(a)a material reduction in the Participant’s then current responsibilities or  assignment to the Participant of duties materially inconsistent with such Participant’s then current range of duties and responsibilities; for the avoidance of doubt, the following circumstances would be considered a material reduction of a Participant’s responsibilities: (i) the reporting structure of a Participant who reports to the Chief Executive Officer of the entire organization is modified or the Participant is informed that it will be modified such that the Participant would no longer report to such Chief Executive Officer or (ii) a Participant who is the Chief Executive Officer or organization-wide leader of a material function in a public company would no longer be, or is informed that he or she will no longer be, the Chief Executive Officer or organization-wide leader of such function, or would no longer lead that function in a public company environment;

(b)a material reduction (i.e., more than ten percent (10%)) in the Participant’s aggregate annualized compensation target (including bonus opportunity as a percentage of base salary) and benefit opportunities, except for an across the board reduction or modification to any benefit plan affecting all similarly situated Participants;

A-4

 


 

(c)failure to pay to the Participant any portion of the Participant’s current compensation and benefits, under any plan, program or policy of, or other contract or agreement within thirty (30) days of the date such compensation and/or benefits are due;

(d)cancellation or material reduction in scope of any indemnification and/or director and officer liability insurance;

(e)the relocation, or the Participant is informed of the anticipated relocation, of the Participant’s then current principal place of employment (“Principal Location”) to a location which is more than forty (40) miles from the Principal Location; or

(f)material breach other than by the Participant of any material provision of the Participant’s employment, severance or similar agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, placing the Participant on a paid leave for up to ninety (90) days pending a determination of whether there is a basis to terminate the Participant for Cause will not constitute Good Reason. The Participant’s continued employment will not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.  In all events, if the Participant fails to deliver a notice of termination with respect to a termination of the Participant’s employment for Good Reason within ninety (90) days after the Participant becomes aware of the event giving rise to such right to terminate or the Company cures such act within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice, the Participant will be deemed to waive the Participant’s right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such event.

“ISO”: A Stock Option intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422.  Each Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan will be treated as providing by its terms that it is to be an NSO unless, as of the date of grant, it is expressly designated as an ISO in the applicable Award agreement.

“NSO”:  A Stock Option that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422.
