NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	Description of Business and Basis of Preparation

Organization

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (“SCYNEXIS” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on November 4, 1999. SCYNEXIS is a biotechnology company, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. The Company is developing its lead product candidate, ibrexafungerp, as the first representative of a novel oral and intravenous triterpenoid antifungal family for the treatment of several fungal infections, including serious and life-threatening invasive fungal infections.

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its initial public offering in May 2014 and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $331.3 million at March 31, 2021 and limited capital resources to fund ongoing operations. These capital resources primarily comprised cash and cash equivalents of $92.0 million at March 31, 2021. While the Company believes its capital resources are sufficient to fund the Company’s on-going operations for a period of at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's liquidity could be materially affected over this period by, among other things: (1) its ability to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding; (2) costs associated with new or existing strategic alliances, or licensing and collaboration arrangements; (3) negative regulatory events or unanticipated costs related to its development of ibrexafungerp; (4) its ability to potentially commercialize ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and; (5) any other unanticipated material negative events or costs. One or more of these events or costs could materially affect the Company’s liquidity. If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its research and development programs, or make significant changes to its operating plan. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Reverse Stock Split

On July 16, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), which became effective on Friday, July 17, 2020, (a) implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock and (b) decreasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. All share and per share amounts presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse stock split and certain items in the prior period financial statements have been revised to conform to the current presentation. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split effected a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses

Table of Contents

during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include: determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation grants; the estimate of services and effort expended by third-party research and development service providers used to recognize research and development expense; and the estimates and assumptions utilized in measuring the fair values of the warrant and derivative liabilities each reporting period.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as described below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has entered into arrangements involving the sale or license of intellectual property and the provision of other services. When entering into any arrangement involving the sale or license of intellectual property rights and other services, the Company determines whether the arrangement is subject to accounting guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), as well as ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements ("Topic 808"). If the Company determines that an arrangement includes goods or services that are central to the Company’s business operations for consideration, the Company will then identify the performance obligations in the contract using the unit-of-account guidance in Topic 606. For a distinct unit-of-account that is within the scope of Topic 606, the Company applies all of the accounting requirements in Topic 606 to that unit-of-account, including the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements. For a distinct unit-of-account that is not within the scope of Topic 606, the Company will recognize and measure the distinct unit-of-account based on other authoritative ASC Topics or on a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied policy election.

Analyzing the arrangement to identify performance obligations requires the use of judgment. In arrangements that include the sale or license of intellectual property and other promised services, the Company first identifies if the licenses are distinct from the other promises in the arrangement. If the license is not distinct, the license is combined with other services into a single performance obligation. Factors that are considered in evaluating whether a license is distinct from other promised services include, for example, whether the counterparty can benefit from the license without the promised service on its own or with other readily available resources and whether the promised service is expected to significantly modify or customize the intellectual property.

The Company classifies non-refundable upfront payments, milestone payments and royalties received for the sale or license of intellectual property as revenues within its statements of operations because the Company views such activities as being central to its business operations. For the sale of intellectual property that is distinct, fixed consideration and variable consideration are included in the transaction price and recognized in revenue immediately to the extent that it is probable that there would not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue in the future. For the license of intellectual property that is distinct, fixed and variable consideration (to the extent there will not be a significant reversal in the future) are also recognized immediately in income, except for consideration received in the form of royalty or sales-based milestones, which is recorded when the customer’s subsequent sales or usages occur. If the sale or license of intellectual property is not distinct, revenue is deferred and recognized over the estimated period of the Company’s combined performance obligation. For contractual arrangements that meet the definition of a collaborative arrangement under Topic 808, consideration received for any units-of-account that are outside the scope of Topic 606 are recognized in the statements of operations by considering (i) the nature of the arrangement, (ii) the nature of the Company’s business operations, and (iii) the contractual terms of the arrangement.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

The Company calculates net loss per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Per ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding utilized for determining the basic net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes the pre-funded warrants to purchase 5,260,000 shares of common stock issued in the December 2020 Public Offering. Diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Net loss	$	(4,676	)	$	(7,002	)
Dilutive effect of warrant liability		(1,323	)		—
Net loss allocated to common shares	$	(5,999	)	$	(7,002	)

Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		25,802,700			9,744,577

Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted		26,523,920			9,744,577

Net loss per share – diluted	$	(0.23	)	$	(0.72	)

The following potentially dilutive shares of common stock have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as the result would be anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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”). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2019-10”), which revised the effective dates for ASU 2016-13 for public business entities that meet the SEC definition of a smaller reporting company to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in and Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The amendments in ASU 2020-06 reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and revises certain guidance relating to the derivative scope exception and earnings per share. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer and a smaller reporting company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those years. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. This guidance was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2021 and it did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

April 2020 Note Purchase Agreement

On April 9, 2020, the Company entered into the April 2020 Note Purchase Agreement with Puissance Life Science Opportunities Fund VI (“Puissance”) and issued and sold to Puissance $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of its April 2020 Notes, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $9.5 million after deducting $0.5 million for an advisory fee and other issuance costs. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the April 2020 Notes was $7.4 million.

In January 2021, Puissance converted the remaining $6.0 million of the April 2020 Notes for 959,080 shares of common stock. Upon conversion of the $6.0 million of the April 2020 Notes, the Company recognized a $2.7 million extinguishment loss which represents the difference between the total net carrying amount of the convertible debt and derivative liability of $4.8 million and the fair value of the consideration issued of $7.5 million.

March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Senior Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement”) with Puissance. Pursuant to the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, on March 7, 2019, the Company issued and sold to Puissance $16.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2025 (“March 2019 Notes”), resulting in $14.7 million in net proceeds after deducting $1.3 million for an advisory fee and other issuance costs.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s March 2019 Notes consists of the convertible debt balance of $9.6 million, presented net of the unamortized debt issuance costs allocated to the convertible debt of $0.4 million, and the bifurcated embedded conversion option derivative liability of $2.6 million. In connection with the Company’s issuance of its March 2019 Notes, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option, inclusive of the interest make-whole provision and make-whole fundamental change provision, and recorded the embedded conversion option as a long-term derivative liability in the Company’s balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, at its initial fair value of $7.0 million as the interest make-whole provision is settled in shares of common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized gains of $42,000 and $0.7 million, respectively, on the fair value adjustment for the derivative liability. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0.3 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount related to the March 2019 Notes.

The Company estimated the fair value of the convertible debt and derivative liability for the March 2019 Notes using a binomial lattice valuation model and Level 3 inputs. At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the convertible debt and derivative liability for the March 2019 Notes is $12.9 million.

The March 2019 Notes were issued and sold for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), due to the March 2019 Notes being issued to one financially sophisticated investor. The March 2019 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2019. The March 2019 Notes will mature on March 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The March 2019 Notes constitute general, senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The holder of the March 2019 Notes may convert their March 2019 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2025 into shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion rate is 73.9096 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of March 2019 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.53 and is subject to adjustment in certain events described in the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement. The Holder upon conversion may also be entitled to receive, under certain circumstances, an interest make-whole payment payable in shares of common stock. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate if the holder elects to convert its March 2019 Notes in connection with such a corporate event. Subject to adjustment in the conversion rate, the number of shares that the Company may deliver in connection with a conversion of the March 2019 Notes, including those delivered in connection with an interest make-whole payment, will not exceed a cap of 81 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the March 2019 Notes.

On or after March 15, 2022, the Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all or any portion of the March 2019 Notes not previously converted if the last reported sale price per share of common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the March 2019 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the March 2019 Note Purchase Agreement) occurs, then, subject to certain exceptions, the Company must offer to repurchase the March 2019 Notes for cash at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the March 2019 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

6.	Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a long-term lease agreement for approximately 19,275 square feet of office space in Jersey City, New Jersey, that the Company identified as an operating lease under ASC 842 (the “Lease”). The lease term is eleven years from August 1, 2018, the commencement date, with total lease payments of $7.3 million over the lease term. The Company has the option to renew for two consecutive five-year periods from the end of the first term and the Company is not reasonably certain that the option to renew the Lease will be exercised. Under the Lease, the Company furnished a security deposit in the form of a standby letter of credit in the amount of $0.3 million, which was reduced by fifty-five thousand dollars on the first anniversary of the commencement date. The security deposit will continue to be reduced by fifty-five thousand dollars every two years on the commencement date anniversary for eight years. The security deposit is classified as restricted cash in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The consideration in the Lease allocated to the single lease component includes the fixed payments for the right to use the office space as well as common area maintenance. The Lease also contains costs associated with certain expense escalation, property taxes, insurance, parking, and utilities which are all considered variable payments and are excluded from the operating lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate utilized approximated the prevailing market interest rate the Company would incur to borrow a similar amount equal to the total Lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the Lease. The following table summarizes certain quantitative information associated with the amounts recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Lease (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2021			Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

License Arrangement with Potential Future Expenditures

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a license arrangement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., or Merck, as amended, that involves potential future expenditures. Under the license arrangement, executed in May 2013, the Company exclusively licensed from Merck its rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health. In January 2014, Merck assigned the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to the Company. Ibrexafungerp is the Company's lead product candidate. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, Merck was originally eligible to receive milestone payments from the Company that could total $19.0 million upon occurrence of specific events, including initiation of a Phase 3 clinical study, new drug application, and marketing approvals in each of the U.S., major European markets, and Japan. In addition, Merck is eligible to receive tiered royalties from the Company based on a percentage of worldwide net sales of ibrexafungerp. The aggregate royalties are mid- to high-single digits.

In December 2014, the Company and Merck entered into an amendment to the license agreement that deferred the remittance of a milestone payment due to Merck, such that no amount would be due upon initiation of the first Phase 2 clinical trial of a product containing the ibrexafungerp compound (the “Deferred Milestone”). The amendment also increased, in an amount equal to the Deferred Milestone, the milestone payment that would be due upon initiation of the first Phase 3 clinical trial of a product containing the ibrexafungerp compound. In December 2016 and January 2018, the Company entered into second and third amendments to the license agreement with Merck which clarified what would constitute the initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial for the purpose of milestone payment. In January 2019, a milestone payment became due to Merck as a result of the initiation of the VANISH Phase 3 VVC program and was paid in March 2019. On December 2, 2020, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the license agreement with Merck. The amendment eliminates two cash milestone payments that the Company would have paid to Merck upon the first filing of an NDA, triggered by the FDA acceptance for filing of the Company’s NDA for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC, and first marketing approval in the U.S., anticipated in June 2021 for the Company’s NDA for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC. Such cash milestone payments would have been creditable against future royalties owed to Merck on net sales of ibrexafungerp. With the amendment, these milestones will not be paid in cash and, accordingly, credits will not accrue. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company will also forfeit the credits against future royalties that it had accrued from a prior milestone payment already paid to Merck. All other key terms of the license agreement are unchanged.

Clinical Development Arrangements

The Company has entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties who support its clinical trials, preclinical research studies, and other services related to its development activities. The scope of the services under these agreements can generally be modified at any time, and the agreement can be terminated by either party after a period of notice and receipt of written notice.

The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to Aspire Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 1,956,547 shares of the Company’s common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), including the 70,910 commitment shares (the Exchange Cap), unless either (a) shareholder approval is obtained to issue more, in which case the Exchange Cap will not apply, or (b) the average purchase price of all shares sold under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement exceeds $8.461; provided that at no time shall Aspire Capital (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not sell any shares of its common stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Convertible Debt and Derivative Liabilities

In connection with the Company’s issuances of its April 2020 Notes and March 2019 Notes, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion options, inclusive of the interest make-whole provisions and make-whole fundamental change provisions, and recorded the embedded conversion options as long-term derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The convertible debt and derivative liability associated with the March 2019 Notes are presented in total on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as the convertible debt and derivative liability. The derivative liability will be remeasured at each reporting period using the binomial lattice model with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations in other (income) expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.7 million, respectively, due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities.

Warrants Associated with June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020 Public Offerings

The outstanding warrants associated with the June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020 public offerings contain a provision where the warrant holder has the option to receive cash, equal to the Black-Scholes fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant, as cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined to include various merger, acquisition or stock transfer activities). Due to this provision, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires that these warrants be classified as liabilities. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded gains of $1.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the warrant liabilities fair value adjustment. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the warrant liabilities was $49.9 million and $51.2 million, respectively.

9.	Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made. The following table summarizes the conclusions reached as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

			Fair Value Hierarchy Classification
	Balance		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The Company measures cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the Level 3 warrant liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. The unobservable input for all of the Level 3 warrant liabilities includes volatility. The historical volatility of the Company, using its closing common stock prices, is utilized to reflect future volatility over the expected term of the warrants. At March 31, 2021, the range and weighted average of the Level 3 volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model to fair value the warrant liabilities were 69.6% to 82.5% and 77.6%, respectively. Additionally, the expected term associated with the December 2019 Public Offering warrants is an unobservable unit given that the expiration of the warrants is the earlier of (i) such date that is six months after the Company publicly announces the approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis and (ii) June 12, 2023. The Company utilized a probability assessment to estimate the likelihood of occurrence for the two potential expiration dates and allocated the probability of occurrence percentage to the fair values calculated based on the two potential expected terms. The weighted average expected term is 0.9 years as of March 31, 2021 for the December 2019 Public Offering warrants with a range of 0.66 to 2.2 years.

Table of Contents

The Company uses the binomial lattice valuation model to value the Level 3 derivative liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, dividend yield, risk-free rate, historical volatility, credit rating, market credit spread, and estimated effective yield. The unobservable inputs associated with the Level 3 derivative liabilities are adjusted equity volatility, market credit spread, and estimated yield. As of March 31, 2021, these inputs were 61.5%, 1,451 basis points, and 15.1%, respectively. The senior convertible notes are initially fair valued using the binomial lattice model and with the straight debt fair value calculated using the discounted cash flow method. The discount for lack of marketability, 7.1% as of March 31, 2021, is applied to the value of the March 2019 Notes. The residual difference represents the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities are reassessed using the binomial lattice valuation model on a quarterly basis.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows (in thousands):

	Warrant Liabilities
Balance – December 31, 2020	$	51,156

10.	License Agreement Revenue

In February 2021, the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hansoh (Shanghai) Health Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Company Limited (collectively, “Hansoh”), pursuant to which the Company granted to Hansoh an exclusive license to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (the “Territory”). The Company also granted to Hansoh a non-exclusive license to manufacture ibrexafungerp solely for development and commercialization in the Territory. Under the terms of the Agreement, Hansoh shall be responsible for the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of ibrexafungerp in the Territory.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company received as consideration for the licenses a nonrefundable upfront cash payment of $10.0 million and is entitled to an additional payment that was payable upon the transfer of certain data related to the manufacturing license. In addition, the Company will also be eligible to receive up to $110.0 million in potential development and commercial milestones. In addition, during the term of the licensing agreement, the Company is entitled to low double-digit royalties on net product sales. The obligation to pay royalties with respect to sales in a specified region will continue until the later of the date of expiration of all intellectual property and regulatory exclusivity for the product in the region and ten years from the first commercial sale, unless earlier terminated by Hansoh with advanced notice for convenience or under other specified circumstances. The Company is also eligible to receive a milestone related to the successful completion of a manufacturing batch by Hansoh.

The Company evaluated the Agreement and concluded that it was subject to ASC 606 as the Company viewed the Agreement as a contract with a customer as the activities were central to its business operations. As such, the Company assessed the terms of the Agreement and identified one performance obligation for the licenses to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Territory, including the underlying know-how related to such licenses. The Company also evaluated options for additional goods and services included in the Agreement related to (1) optional technical assistance related to development, regulatory or manufacturing activities and (2) an optional supply agreement for ibrexafungerp. Such options for additional goods or services were not considered to contain material rights as pricing approximated standalone selling prices and therefore the Company concluded that such options did not represent performance obligations and will be accounted for as separate transactions if and when they occur in the future.

The Company determined that the transaction price of $12.1 million included the fixed upfront cash payment of $10.0 million, an additional amount that was payable upon the transfer of certain data related to the manufacturing license, and $1.1 million related to withholding tax obligations that Hansoh remitted on behalf of the Company. The remaining amounts related to the successful completion of a manufacturing batch by Hansoh and potential development milestones represent variable consideration and were constrained as it was concluded that it was not probable that a significant reversal in cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and therefore not included in the transaction price as of March 31, 2021. Potential

commercial milestones and royalties on net product sales will be recognized in the same period that the underlying net product sales occur as they were determined to relate to the license. The transaction price was recorded in revenue during the quarter March 31, 2021 at a point in time upon control of the license transferring to Hansoh. The Company will reevaluate the transaction price at the end of each reporting period as uncertain events or resolved, or as other changes in circumstances occur.

Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, both the Company and Hansoh agreed to make reasonable efforts to account for applicable taxes, fees, duties, levies, or similar amounts imposed on net income, franchise taxes and profits arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Agreement. To the extent Hansoh is required by applicable laws to withhold or deduct any tax on any payment to the Company, Hansoh agreed to make certain increases on payments to the Company to ensure that the Company receives a sum equal to what the Company would have received had there been no deduction or withholding. As a result, the Company has recorded revenue and tax withholding expense primarily associated with the up-front payment received by the Company on a gross basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $1.1 million in revenue and $1.1 million in income tax expense to account for the tax withholding expense primarily on the $10.0 million up-front that the Company is responsible to remit under applicable tax law.

In July 2016, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with UK-based Cypralis Limited (or "Cypralis"), a life sciences company, for the sale of its cyclophilin inhibitor assets. Cypralis also acquired all patents, patent applications and know-how related to the acquired portfolio. In connection with the asset purchase agreement, the Company is eligible to receive milestone payments upon the successful progression of Cypralis clinical candidates into later stage clinical studies and royalties payable upon product commercialization. The Company retains the right to repurchase the portfolio assets from Cypralis if abandoned or deprioritized. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was no revenue recognized associated with this agreement given the variable consideration associated with the sale of intellectual property to Cypralis was fully constrained as of March 31, 2021. Additionally, in October 2014 the Company entered into a license agreement with Waterstone Pharmaceutical HK Limited (or “Waterstone”) and granted Waterstone an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize certain non-strategic compounds. The Company is entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties from Waterstone; however, there was no revenue recognized by the Company associated with this agreement given the variable consideration was fully constrained as of March 31, 2021.

11.	Subsequent Events

In May 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell a portion of its unused New Jersey net operating losses (NOLs) for approximately $4.2 million.

In May 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (“SVB,” and collectively with Hercules, the “Lenders”) for an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the “Term Loan”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Term Loan is available to the Company in four tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company received an initial tranche of $20.0 million from the Lenders on the Closing Date. The second tranche of the Term Loan, consisting of up to an additional $10.0 million, will become available to the Company upon receipt of approval from the Food and Drug Administration of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections (the “First Performance Milestone”) and will be available, if specified conditions are met, during the period beginning on June 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The third tranche of the Term Loan, consisting of an additional $5.0 million, will be available to the Company upon (a) the First Performance Milestone and (b) the achievement of the primary endpoint from the Phase 3 study of ibrexafungerp in patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, and will be available, if specified conditions are met, from September 30, 2021 through June 30, 2022. The fourth tranche of the Term Loan, consisting of up to an additional $25.0 million, will be available to the Company from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023 in $5.0 million increments, subject to certain terms and conditions, including in maintaining a ratio of total outstanding Term Loan principal to net product revenues for ibrexafungerp below a certain specified level for a given draw period.

The Term Loan will mature on March 3, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”); provided that, the Maturity Date shall be automatically extended to May 1, 2025 subject to the occurrence of certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Term Loan bears interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.05% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 5.80% (the “Interest Rate”). The Company may make payments of interest only through November 1, 2023, which may be extended to May 1, 2024 upon the achievement of the First Performance Milestone prior to November 1, 2023, and which is further extendable in quarterly increments until the Maturity Date, subject to continued compliance with the financial covenant of the Loan Agreement (the “interest-only period”). After the interest-only period, the principal balance and related interest will be required to be repaid in equal monthly installments and continuing until the Maturity Date.

The Loan Agreement contains customary closing fees, prepayment fees and provisions, events of default, and representations, warranties and covenants, including a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain certain levels of trailing three-month net product revenue solely from the sale of ibrexafungerp commencing on June 30, 2022. The financial covenant will be waived at any time in which the Company maintains unrestricted and unencumbered cash in accounts maintained with SVB equal to at least 50.0% of the total outstanding Term Loan principal amount, subject to certain requirements.

Table of Contents

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to each of Hercules and SVB a warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of SCYNEXIS’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”). The amount of shares that may be purchased for the Warrants, collectively between Hercules and SVB, will not exceed 0.04 multiplied by the aggregate amount of the term loan advances, divided by the exercise price of the Warrants.

Overview

SCYNEXIS, Inc. is pioneering innovative medicines to potentially help millions of patients worldwide in need of new options to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. We are developing our lead product candidate, ibrexafungerp, as a broad-spectrum, intravenous (IV)/oral agent for multiple fungal indications in both the community and hospital settings. In December 2020, we announced that we had received the acceptance letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our New Drug Application (NDA) for oral ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC, also known as vaginal yeast infection) with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action goal date of June 1, 2021. The FDA has conditionally approved “Brexafemme” as the brand name for oral ibrexafungerp for vaginal yeast infections. We are also continuing late-stage clinical development for the prevention of recurrent VVC as well as the treatment of life-threatening invasive fungal infections in hospitalized patients.

Ibrexafungerp, the first representative of a novel class of antifungal agents called triterpenoids and designated by the suffix “-fungerp”, is a structurally distinct glucan synthase inhibitor and has shown in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad range of human fungal pathogens such as Candida and Aspergillus species, including multidrug-resistant strains, as well as Pneumocystis, Coccidioides, Histoplasma and Blastomyces species. Candida and Aspergillus species are the fungi responsible for approximately 85% of all invasive fungal infections in the United States (U.S.) and Europe. To date, we have characterized the antifungal activity, pharmacokinetics, and safety profile of the oral and IV formulations of ibrexafungerp in multiple in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. The FDA has granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations to ibrexafungerp for the indications of VVC (including the treatment of VVC episodes and the prevention of recurrent VVC), invasive candidiasis (IC) (including candidemia), and invasive aspergillosis (IA), and has granted Orphan Drug designations for the IC and IA indications. These designations may provide us with additional market exclusivity and expedited regulatory paths.

Ibrexafungerp Update

We previously announced that the FDA has accepted for filing our NDA for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC, also known as vaginal yeast infections. The FDA has granted this application Priority Review, a designation which is granted to applications for potential drugs that, if approved, would be significant improvements in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment of serious conditions when compared to standard applications. Under the PDUFA, the FDA has set a target action date of June 1, 2021. Additionally, the FDA has communicated that it is not currently planning to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss the application. The NDA is supported by positive results from two Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center studies (VANISH-303 and VANISH-306), in which oral ibrexafungerp demonstrated statistically superior efficacy and a favorable tolerability profile in women with VVC. We are currently in discussions with the FDA to finalize its recommended wording for different sections of the Prescribing Information to provide adequate information about efficacy, safety and potential contraindications, warnings and precautions of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC.

Enrollment is complete in the CANDLE study, a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ibrexafungerp for the prevention of recurrent VVC, for which there is no approved therapy in the U.S. We expect the last-patient/last-visit for the CANDLE study by the end of 2021. We anticipate

Table of Contents

both top-line data and a potential supplemental NDA submission for the prevention of recurrent VVC in the first half of 2022, resulting in a potential approval in late 2022.

Enrollment is ongoing in our refractory invasive fungal infections (rIFI) program, which comprises two open-label Phase 3 studies (FURI and CARES) designed to support a potential future NDA submission through the Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (LPAD), as well as our Phase 2 study (SCYNERGIA study) of oral ibrexafungerp in combination with voriconazole (SoC) in patients with IA. Similar to interim analyses of data previously reported, we intend to analyze the data of patients that have completed the treatment course in our FURI and CARES studies and announce these findings when complete.

Enrollment is ongoing in our Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the IV liposomal formulation of ibrexafungerp in healthy subjects. The study is being conducted in South Africa and dosing started in March 2021.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Business

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in December 2019, and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The full extent of the future impacts of COVID-19 on our operations is uncertain. We have continued to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and have not identified any significant adverse effects on our business.

Corporate Update

In May 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (Hercules), as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Agent) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (SVB, and collectively with Hercules, the Lenders) for an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the Term Loan) and we recently received $20.0 upon closing of the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Term Loan is available to us in four tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions.

In May 2021, we appointed a Chief Commercial Officer, who will play a significant role in the anticipated U.S. launch of and commercialization of Brexafemme, the expected trade name for ibrexafungerp.

In May 2021, we entered into an agreement with a third party to sell a portion of our unused New Jersey NOLs for approximately $4.2 million.

In February 2021, we partnered with Amplity Inc. (Amplity) for the potential upcoming commercial launch of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC. Under the terms of the 5-year agreement, we will utilize Amplity’s commercial execution expertise and resources for sales force, remote engagement, training, market access and select operations services. Amplity is deferring a portion of its direct service costs in the first two years (2021 and 2022), which we will repay over three years starting in 2023. Amplity has the potential to earn a performance-based success fee in the 2023-2025 time frame by exceeding certain revenue targets.

In February 2021, we entered into an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement (the Hansoh Agreement) with Hansoh (Shanghai) Health Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Company Limited (collectively, Hansoh), pursuant to which Hansoh obtains an exclusive license from us to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Under the terms of the Hansoh Agreement, Hansoh shall be responsible for the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of ibrexafungerp in Greater China. We received a $10.0 million upfront payment in the first quarter of 2021 and will also be eligible to receive development and commercial milestones, plus low double-digit royalties on net product sales.

Liquidity

We have operated as a public entity since we completed our initial public offering (IPO) in May 2014. We also completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock in April 2015 and public offerings of our common stock and warrants in June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we had received an aggregate of $253.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and warrants in these six offerings. Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $92.0 million as of March 31, 2021, and availability to issue up to $19.4 million of our common stock under our common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital. We recently received $20.0 million under our Term Loan and could potentially be eligible to receive up to an additional $40.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Table of Contents

We have incurred net losses since our inception, including the year ended December 31, 2020, and the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, our accumulated deficit was $331.3 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next several years. We expect we will continue to incur significant research and development expense as we continue to execute our research and drug development strategy, but that our research and development expenses will decrease primarily given the completion of the VANISH Phase 3 registration program and the completion of enrollment in the CANDLE Phase 3 study. Consistent with our operating plan, we also expect that we will continue to incur significant selling, general and administrative expenses to support our public reporting company operations, and that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase to support a potential commercial launch for the VVC indication and our ongoing operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registrations, and the common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.

Collaborations and Licensing Agreements

We are party to a number of licensing and collaboration agreements with partners in human health, including: (1) Merck, a pharmaceutical company, under which we exclusively licensed the rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health, and agreed to pay Merck milestones upon the occurrence of specified events as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide sales of ibrexafungerp when and if it is approved (in 2014, Merck assigned to us the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to us and, as contemplated by the agreement, we will continue to pay milestones and royalties); (2) Hansoh, a pharmaceutical company, which we exclusively provide a license from us to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, under which we are entitled to receive development and commercial milestones and royalties (3) R-Pharm, CJSC, or "R-Pharm," a leading supplier of hospital drugs in Russia, granting it exclusive rights in the field of human health to develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in Russia and several non-core markets, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties and reimbursement for certain development costs incurred by us; (4) Waterstone, an international pharmaceutical business, granting Waterstone exclusive worldwide rights to development and commercialization of SCY-635 for the treatment of viral diseases in humans, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties; and (5) Cypralis Limited, or "Cypralis," a life sciences company, transferring to it certain cyclophilin inhibitor assets of ours, under which we are eligible to receive milestone payments upon the successful progression of certain Cypralis clinical candidates into later stage clinical studies and royalties payable upon product commercialization.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

Revenue primarily consists of a non-refundable upfront payment received under our license agreement with Hansoh.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover, develop, or improve potential product candidates we seek to develop. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing and other development efforts, and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consists of:

•

costs related to executing preclinical and clinical trials, including development milestones, drug formulation, manufacturing and other development;

•

salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits and any stock-based compensation, for personnel in research and development functions;

•

fees paid to consultants and other third parties who support our product candidate development and intellectual property protection;

•

other costs in seeking regulatory approval of our products; and

•

allocated overhead.

Our ibrexafungerp project was the only significant research and development project during the periods presented. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expense for the foreseeable future as we continue our effort to develop ibrexafungerp, and to potentially develop our other product candidates, subject to the availability of additional funding.

Table of Contents

The successful development of product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, including employee benefits and any stock-based compensation. This includes personnel in executive, finance, human resources, business development, marketing, and administrative support functions. Other expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal services, consulting costs for general and administrative purposes, information systems maintenance and marketing efforts.

Other Expense (Income)

All of our other expense (income) recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, consists of amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, interest income, interest expense, other income, the warrant liabilities fair value adjustment, the derivative liabilities fair value adjustment, and the loss recognized for the extinguishment of debt.

Income Tax Expense

All of our income tax expense recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021 consists of tax withholding expense associated with the upfront payment received from Hansoh.

Revenue. Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2021, consists primarily of a non-refundable upfront payment received under our license agreement with Hansoh.

Research and Development. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, research and development expenses decreased to $6.9 million from $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease of $2.9 million, or 30%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease of $2.1 million in clinical development expense, a decrease of $0.9 million in chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) expense, and a decrease of $0.5 million in preclinical expense, offset in part by an increase in salary related costs of $0.3 million and a net increase in other research and development expense of $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

The $2.9 million decrease in clinical development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by a decrease of $0.9 million and $0.7 million in expense associated with two drug-drug interaction clinical studies and the VANISH Phase 3 program, respectively, that were both substantially complete at the beginning of the current quarter. Additionally, we incurred a decrease of $0.4 million and $0.3 million in expense associated with the SCYNERGIA study and a Phase 1 study to support the submission of the NDA for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, respectively. The $0.9 million decrease in CMC for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by a $1.2 million expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 for drug product shipped in the period. The $0.5 million decrease in preclinical expenses was primarily driven by a $0.5 million decrease in certain pharmacokinetic and preclinical expenses incurred during the prior comparable quarter. The increase in salary related costs of $0.3 million was primarily due to the increased employee headcount in comparison to the prior comparable quarter.

Selling, General & Administrative. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.7 million from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase of $4.1 million, or 156%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily driven by a $1.7 million increase in commercial related expense, an increase of $1.0 million in business development expense, an increase of $0.5 million in expense associated with increased information technology costs, and an increase of $0.3 million in salary related costs.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $2.7 million in loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the January 2021 conversation of our remaining April 2020 convertible notes.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount. For both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.3 million in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount. The 2021 and 2020 debt issuance costs and discount for both April 2020 Notes and March 2019 Notes primarily consisted of an allocated portion of advisory fees and other issuance costs.

Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $7,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, in interest income. The decrease was primarily due to the maturity of all our short-term investments during 2020.

Interest Expense. For both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.2 million in interest expense. The interest expense recognized in both periods is primarily associated with the April 2020 and March 2019 convertible notes.

Other Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $0.4 million in other income associated with certain research and development tax credits.

Warrant Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized gains of $1.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the warrant liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarter.

Derivative Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized a loss of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.7 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the derivative liabilities primarily due to the increase and decrease, respectively, in our stock price during the quarter.

Income Tax Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $1.1 million of tax withholding expense primarily associated with the upfront payment received from Hansoh.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Through March 31, 2021, we have primarily funded our operations from net proceeds from debt and equity issuances and through revenue from development services. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $92.0 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $93.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support a potential commercial launch of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp, offset in part by a $10.0 million cash receipt from Hansoh. We have incurred annual net losses since our inception, and we incurred a net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, our accumulated deficit was $331.3 million.

We expect that we will continue to incur losses for at least the foreseeable future. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect our research and development expenses to decrease primarily given the completion of the VANISH Phase 3 registration program and the completion of enrollment in our CANDLE study and we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support a potential commercial launch for the treatment of VVC and our ongoing operations. As a result, we may need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of

Table of Contents

equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registrations, and the common stock purchase agreement entered into on April 10, 2020 with Aspire Capital.

The $13.3 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily due to the cash receipt of $10.0 million from Hansoh during the current quarter which offset our increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support a potential commercial launch of ibrexafungerp for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect that our research and development expenses will decrease primarily given the completion of the VANISH Phase 3 registration program and the completion of enrollment in the CANDLE Phase 3 study and we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support a potential commercial launch for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and our ongoing operations.

Net cash used in operating activities of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily consisted of the $4.7 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $1.3 million, the loss on change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $0.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $0.3 million, and the loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million, plus a net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.7 million. The net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other of $0.1 million and offset in part by a decrease in prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other of $1.7 million. The $0.1 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $1.9 million as of March 31, 2021, offset in part by the decrease of $1.8 million in accrued employee bonus compensation as a result of the payment of the 2020 related employee bonus compensation in 2021 and a $0.2 million decrease in accrued research and development expenses. The decrease in prepaid expense, deferred cost, and other of $1.7 million was primarily due to the collection of a $2.9 million receivable in February 2021 offset by a $1.0 million other receivable recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net cash used in operating activities of $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily consisted of the $7.0 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $4.8 million, the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liability of $0.7 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, plus a net unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $2.3 million. The net unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other of $4.1 million and offset in part by a decrease in prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other of $1.7 million. The $4.1 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other was primarily due to the decrease of $1.4 million in accrued employee bonus compensation as a result of the payment of the 2019 related employee bonus compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the decrease in accounts payable of $2.0 million as of March 31, 2020. The decrease in prepaid expense, deferred cost, and other of $1.7 million was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in prepaid research and development costs associated with drug product shipped during the period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted solely of purchases of intangible assets. Net cash used in investing activities of $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 consisted of purchases and maturities of short-term investments of $14.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, consisted primarily of $0.1 million in payments of offering costs and underwriting discounts and commissions associated with our December 2020 public offering.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, consisted primarily of gross proceeds from common stock issued under our at-the-market facility of $0.2 million.

Future Funding Requirements

As disclosed in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, to date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenue from product sales. We do not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize ibrexafungerp. In addition, we expect to incur significant expenses in connection with our ongoing development activities, particularly as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, product candidates. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing future operations.

Based upon our existing operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the sale of a portion of our New Jersey NOLs, and the anticipated sales of Brexafemme will enable us to fund our operating requirements into 2023. These funds will also be sufficient to enable us to commercially launch Brexafemme for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, if approved, and complete the development activities for the CANDLE study. However, we are continually evaluating our operating plan and assessing the optimal cash utilization for our ibrexafungerp development strategy. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses necessary to complete the development of product candidates.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the progress, and costs, of the clinical development of ibrexafungerp;

•

the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;

•

the ability of product candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;

•

our need to expand our research and development activities;

•

the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization and manufacturing capabilities;

•

our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

•

our need and ability to hire additional management and scientific and medical personnel;

•

our need to implement additional, as well as to enhance existing, internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting processes and systems and the associated compliance costs; and

•

the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of net proceeds from equity offerings, debt financings or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities as we did in April 2015, June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, and December 2020, as well as through our common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through sales of assets, other third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies, significant judgments, and estimates are described within Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as Note 2 and Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Controls and Procedures.

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of March 31, 2021, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our 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. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On May 13, 2021, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Hercules, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Agent) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (SVB, and collectively with Hercules in such capacity, the Lenders) for an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million.

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, we issued to each of Hercules and SVB a warrant (collectively, the Warrants) to purchase shares of our common stock (the Shares). The number of Shares that may be purchased equals: for the Warrant issued to Hercules, 0.02666 multiplied by the aggregate amount of term loan advances, divided by the exercise price of the Warrant; and for the Warrant issued to SVB, 0.01333 multiplied by the aggregate amount of term loan advances, divided by the exercise price of the Warrant. Accordingly, the number of Shares for which each Warrant is exercisable will increase as the term loan is funded. The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $7.04, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Warrant.

The issuance of the Warrants by us to the Lenders was made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as they were issued to two accredited investors.

LICENSES

2.1License Grant to Hansoh. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Scynexis hereby grants to Hansoh (a) an exclusive (even as to Scynexis but subject to Scynexis’ retained rights as set forth in Section 2.3), royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses solely in accordance with Section 2.2, under the Licensed IP to research, Develop, use, promote, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise Commercialize or exploit the Compound and Product in the Field in the Territory; and (b) a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid up license, with the right to grant sublicenses solely in accordance with Section 2.2, under the Licensed IP to Manufacture the Compound and Product inside or outside of the Territory solely for Development and Commercialization use in the Field in the Territory; provided however that (i) Hansoh may

11.

not exercise such license granted in 2.1(b) to Manufacture the finished Product outside the Territory without Scynexis’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) Hansoh shall notify and discuss (through the JSC) with Scynexis if Hansoh wishes to exercise its license granted in 2.1(b) to Manufacture starting materials or components of the Product outside of the Territory, and Hansoh may do so in its or its Affiliate’s own facility without Scynexis’ prior written consent (but doing so in any Third Party’s facility shall require Scynexis’ prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Scynexis shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees (other than Hansoh) shall not, either directly or indirectly, research, Develop, use, promote, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise Commercialize or exploit the Compound and Product in the Field in the Territory, except as provided in Section 2.3.

2.2Right to Sublicense.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Hansoh shall have the right to grant sublicenses through one or multiple tiers of the license granted to it under Section 2.1: (i) to its Affiliates, with prior notice to (but not consent from) Scynexis, which sublicense shall continue only for so long as such entity remains an Affiliate of Hansoh; (ii) to Third Party subcontractors without notice to or consent from Scynexis to perform the subcontracted activities; and (iii) to Third Parties the right to Manufacture the finished Product or the right to Commercialize the Product in a Region, which shall require Scynexis’ express prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(b)Each sublicense shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall contain at least the following terms and conditions:

(i)requiring each such sublicensee to protect and keep confidential any Confidential Information of the Parties in accordance with Article 10 of this Agreement;

(ii)requiring each such sublicensee to assign or license to Hansoh all Arising Product IP developed by such sublicensee so that Hansoh can comply with its obligations to license the same to Scynexis in accordance with Section 9.1 (provided that a such sublicense agreement may be subject to customary provisions which provide for the sublicensee to own Know How and Patents that has general application to such sublicensee’s general business, so long as such sublicense agreement provides a sublicenseable license to Hansoh under such generally applicable Know-How or Patent that is sufficient to allow Hansoh to comply with its obligation under Section 9.1); and

(iii)not expressly imposing any obligation or liability on Scynexis.

(c)Hansoh shall provide a redacted copy of each sublicense agreement to Scynexis within [*] after the grant of a sublicense; provided that, such redaction is consistent with the SEC requirements and guidelines governing redaction of information from material agreements. Upon written request from Scynexis, Hansoh will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide Scynexis a complete and unredacted copy of each requested sublicense agreement, subject to Scynexis, Hansoh and the Sublicensee first entering into a confidentiality agreement if required by the Sublicensee to cover the disclosure of such sublicense prior to

12.

providing Scynexis with such copy. Hansoh shall remain directly responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement that have been delegated or sublicensed to any sublicensee. Any sublicensee conduct, act, omission or state of affairs that would have constituted a breach of this Agreement shall be imputed to Hansoh and deemed a breach of this Agreement as if such conduct, act, omission or state of affairs had been directly attributable to Hansoh. Hansoh shall not grant a sublicense to any sublicensee that has been debarred or disqualified by a Regulatory Authority.

2.3Retained Rights. Notwithstanding the exclusive license granted to Hansoh under Section 2.1(a), Scynexis hereby expressly retains the right to use the Licensed IP in the Field in the Territory in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party retains all rights under Know-How, Patents or other intellectual property Controlled by such Party not expressly granted to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. For clarity, Scynexis retains the exclusive right to practice, license and otherwise exploit the Licensed IP outside the scope of the license granted to Hansoh under Section 2.1, including the exclusive right to develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import the Compound and Product outside the Field in the Territory or for any use outside of the Territory. Scynexis also retains the right to make and have made the Compound and Product in the Territory solely for any use outside the Field and/or solely for Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of the Compound and Product outside of the Territory.

2.4Upstream Licenses.

(a)Hansoh acknowledges and agrees that:

(i)Scynexis obtained the right to certain Licensed IP from Third Parties under the agreements set forth on Exhibit C and previously disclosed to Hansoh for review (each, an “Upstream Agreement”);

(ii)the licenses granted to Hansoh in Section 2.1 under such Licensed IP constitutes sublicenses under the Upstream Agreement;

(iii)each such sublicense is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Upstream Agreement; and

(iv)certain Licensed IP is non-exclusively licensed to Scynexis under the Upstream Agreement, and therefore the exclusive license granted by Scynexis to Hansoh under such Licensed IP is exclusive only with respect to Scynexis, and is not exclusive with respect to the upstream licensor or its other licensees and sublicensees.

(b)Scynexis shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain the Upstream Agreements in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and conditions and without any further amendment that would materially and adversely affect the sublicense granted by Scynexis to Hansoh under such Upstream Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except with Hansoh’s prior written consent. In the event that Scynexis, or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees (other than Hansoh) is in breach or default of an Upstream Agreement, and the Third Party licensor or counterparty to such Upstream Agreement terminates or is expected to terminate Scynexis’ rights under such Upstream Agreement, then Scynexis shall promptly notify Hansoh in writing of such expectation

13.

or termination, as applicable, and shall use best efforts to ensure that Hansoh’s rights, as a sublicensee under such Upstream Agreement and within the scope of this Agreement, shall continue. This provision will not restrict or eliminate Hansoh’s remedies under this Agreement or otherwise available for Hansoh under law or equity. Hansoh agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the Upstream Agreements to the extent applicable and shall not take or fail to take any action that would cause Scynexis to be in material breach of any Upstream Agreement.

2.5No Implied Licenses; Negative Covenant. Except as expressly set forth herein, no license or other right or interest under any Know-How, Patent or other intellectual property of either Party is granted (by implication or otherwise) to the other Party under this Agreement. Hansoh shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or sublicensees to, practice any Licensed IP outside the scope of the license granted by Scynexis to Hansoh under Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

2.6Territory Restriction. Hansoh hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not, either directly or indirectly, promote, market, distribute, import, sell or have sold any Product, including via the Internet or mail order, to any Third Party or address or Internet Protocol address or the like outside the Territory, or to any Third Party that Hansoh, or any of its Affiliate or sublicensee knows (or is reasonably expected to know) has previously exported or is likely to export the Product outside the Territory. Hansoh shall not engage, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not engage, in any advertising or promotional activities relating to any Product directed primarily to customers or other buyers or users located in any country or jurisdiction outside the Territory, or solicit orders from any prospective customer or other buyer or user located in any country or jurisdiction outside the Territory. If Hansoh or its Affiliates or sublicensees receive any order for the Product from a prospective customer or other buyer or user located in a country or jurisdiction outside the Territory, Hansoh shall immediately refer that order to Scynexis and shall not accept any such orders. Hansoh shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees shall not, deliver or tender (or cause to be delivered or tendered) any Product outside the Territory.

The Alliance Managers shall serve as the primary contact points between the Parties regarding the activities contemplated by this Agreement. The Alliance Managers shall facilitate the flow of information and otherwise promote communication, coordination and collaboration between the Parties, providing single point communication for seeking consensus both internally within each Party’s respective organization, including facilitating review of external corporate communications, and raising cross-Party and/or cross-functional issues in a timely manner. Each Party may replace its Alliance Manager by written notice to the other Party.

14.

3.2Joint Steering Committee.

(a)Formation. Within [*] after the Effective Date, the Parties shall establish a joint steering committee (the “Joint Steering Committee” or the “JSC”) to oversee the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Compound and Product in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement. Each Party shall appoint two (2) representatives to the JSC, each of whom shall be an officer or employee of the applicable Party having sufficient seniority within such Party to make decisions arising within the scope of the JSC’s responsibilities. Each Party may replace its JSC representatives upon written notice to the other Party. Each Party shall appoint one of its JSC representatives to act as a co-chairperson of the JSC.

(b)Role. The JSC shall (i) provide a forum for the discussion of the Parties’ activities under this Agreement; (ii) review and discuss the overall strategy for the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Territory, provided that Hansoh will give due consideration to recommendations made by Scynexis; (iii) review and discuss the Development Plan and amendments thereto, including planning and execution of any clinical trials, regulatory filings and/or registration of the Product in the Field in the Territory, provided that Hansoh will give due consideration to recommendations made by Scynexis; provided further that the JSC shall review, discuss and approve (with Scynexis not to unreasonably withhold approval) clinical trial protocols; (iv) review, discuss and approve the Clinical Trial Participation Plan and amendments thereto; (v) review and discuss (but not approve) the Commercialization Plan and amendment thereto; (vi) review and discuss the Manufacturing and supply of the Compound and Product by Scynexis to Hansoh and coordinate Manufacturing technology transfer under Section 6.2; (vii) coordinate safety data reporting and review, discuss and approve any combination study and/or new Indications; (viii) establish joint subcommittees (such as Development subcommittee) as necessary or advisable to further the purpose of this Agreement; and (viii) perform such other functions as expressly set forth in this Agreement or allocated to it by the Parties’ written agreement.

(c)Limitation of Authority. The JSC shall only have the powers expressly assigned to it in this Article 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement and shall not have the authority to: (i) modify or amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) waive either Party’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (iii) determine any such issue in a manner that would conflict with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d)Meetings. The JSC shall hold meetings at such times as it elects to do so, but in no event shall such meetings be held less frequently than once every Calendar Quarter until the First Commercial Sale of the Product in the Territory. Thereafter, the JSC shall hold meeting no less frequently than once every two (2) Calendar Quarters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall in good faith consider whether the foregoing frequency for JSC meetings is appropriate and may mutually agree to adjust the frequency of JSC meetings. Each Party may call additional ad hoc JSC meetings as the needs arise with reasonable advance notice to the other Party. Meetings of the JSC may be held in person, by audio or video teleconference. The co-chairpersons of the JSC shall jointly prepare the agenda and minutes for each JSC meeting. Each Party shall be responsible for all of its own expenses of participating in the JSC meetings. No action taken at any JSC meeting shall be effective unless at least one representative of each Party is participating in such JSC meeting.

15.

(e)Non-Member Attendance. Each Party may from time to time invite a reasonable number of participants, in addition to its representatives, to attend the JSC meetings in a non‑voting capacity; provided that if either Party intends to have any Third Party (including any consultant) attend such a meeting, such Party shall provide prior written notice to the other Party. Such Party shall also ensure that such Third Party is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)Decision-Making. Each Party will act based on its good faith judgement taking into consideration the best mutual interests of the Parties and to avoid taking any actions pursuant to this Agreement that may materially and adversely affect the development and commercialization of the Products in the other Party’s territory. All decisions of the JSC shall be made by unanimous vote, with each Party having one vote irrespective of the number of representative(s) in attendance. If after reasonable discussion and good faith consideration of each Party’s view on a particular matter before the JSC, the JSC cannot reach a decision as to such matter within [*] after such matter was brought to the JSC for resolution, such matter shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Scynexis and the Chief Executive Officer of Hansoh or his/her designee (the “Executive Officers”) for resolution. The Executive Officers shall promptly meet and use good faith efforts to resolve such matter. If the Executive Officers cannot resolve such matter within [*] after such matter has been referred to them, then Hansoh shall have final decision making authority over matters concerning primarily the Development or Commercialization of the Compound and/or Product in the Field in the Territory, provided, however, that:

(i)Hansoh’s decision must be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including its obligations to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop and Commercialize the Compound and Product in the Field in the Territory;

(ii)any decision that may reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Compound and Product outside the Field and/or outside the Territory must be mutually agreed by the Parties; provided that if Hansoh reasonably believes that such decision is required in order to comply with Applicable Laws in the Territory or otherwise required by the applicable Regulatory Authority, then the Parties will discuss such requirement in good faith with SCYNEXIS not to unreasonably withhold its agreement;

(iii)the protocols (including any amendment thereto) of all Clinical Trials to be conducted by Hansoh, its Affiliates and sublicensees will be discussed in good faith and mutually agreed by both Parties prior to any patient enrollment. If Hansoh reasonably believes that protocol language or amendment is required in order to comply with Applicable Laws in the Territory or otherwise required by the applicable Regulatory Authority, the Parties shall discuss such requirement in good faith. Scynexis shall provide timely response to Hansoh after Hansoh provides the protocol (or any amendments thereto) to Scynexis for review and comment. In the event Hansoh has acted promptly to provide the protocols or amendments to Scynexis for review sufficient in advance of required deadlines, and there is a significant delay without providing any comments from Scynexis, Hansoh may proceed with the protocol (or such amendment thereto) to avoid missing material deadlines (i.e. for regulatory filings). For protocol review and approval process, Scynexis shall designate specific employees or officers from Scynexis to be responsible

16.

for this task to avoid the delay on reviewing and approving protocols due to unavailability of JSC members or delay in scheduling JSC meetings.

For clarity, the JSC shall have no decision making authority with respect to the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Compound and Product outside the Field and/outside the Territory.

3.3Discontinuation of JSC. The activities to be performed by the JSC shall solely relate to governance under this Agreement, and are not intended to be or involve the delivery of services. The JSC shall continue to exist until the first to occur of: (a) the Parties mutually agreeing to disband the JSC; or (b) Scynexis providing written notice to Hansoh of its intention to disband and no longer participate in the JSC. Once the Parties mutually agree or Scynexis has provided written notice to disband the JSC, the JSC shall have no further obligations under this Agreement and, thereafter, the Alliance Managers shall be the contact persons for the exchange of information under this Agreement and decisions of the JSC shall be decisions as between the Parties, subject to the same respective decision-making rights and limitations set forth in Section 3.2(f) and other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Article 4

The determination of the net sales of the Generic Product shall be based upon data provided by IQVIA (formerly IMS Health) or another mutually acceptable and reputable provider and the determination of Net Sales of the Product shall be determined by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For clarity, the royalty reduction set forth in this Section 8.5(c)(i) shall not apply to any Calendar Quarter during which the Net Sales of the Product rise above the threshold set forth above.

(ii)If it is necessary for Hansoh to obtain a license from a Third Party to any Patent (and any Know-How licensed together with such Patent) owned by such Third Party in order to avoid infringement of such Patent by the practice of the Licensed IP in the Development, Manufacture, Commercialization or otherwise exploitation of the Compound or Product (excluding the part of a Combination Product that is not a Compound) in a Region in the Territory

29.

and Hansoh obtains such a license, then, subject to Section 8.5(c)(iii) below, Hansoh shall have the right to deduct, from the royalty payment that would otherwise have been due pursuant to this Section 8.5 with respect to Net Sales of such Product in such Region in a particular Calendar Quarter, an amount equal to [*] of the royalties, license fees, upfront fees and other milestone fees paid by or on behalf of Hansoh to such Third Party pursuant to such license on account of the sale of the Product in such Region during such Calendar Quarter.

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the operation of Section 8.5(c)(i) or (ii), individually or in combination, reduce the royalties paid to Scynexis with respect to the Net Sales of the Product in any Region in the Territory in any Calendar Quarter to less than the royalties payable by Scynexis to its upstream licensors pursuant to the Upstream Agreements with respect to such sale of the Product.

(d)Basis for Royalty. This Section 8.5 is intended to provide for payments to Scynexis and through Scynexis, to its upstream licensors equal to the percentages of Net Sales set forth in this Section 8.5 for the duration of the applicable Royalty Term. In establishing this payment structure, the Parties recognize and acknowledge, the substantial value of the various actions and investments undertaken by Scynexis and its upstream licensors prior to the Effective Date and that Scynexis will undertake under this Agreement, and that the value of the Licensed IP licensed to Hansoh hereunder resides substantially in Licensed Know-How. As a result, the Parties attribute such value to Scynexis’ and its upstream licensors’ leading proprietary knowledge in the subject matter, including trade secrets, preclinical and clinical data pertaining to the Compound and Product, and regulatory filings made by or on behalf Scynexis prior to the Effective Date, in each case created or generated by Scynexis through the expenditure of significant resources and as a result of Scynexis’ unique innovative capabilities. The Parties have agreed to the payment structure set forth herein as a convenient and fair mechanism for both Parties in order to compensate Scynexis and its upstream licensors during the applicable Royalty Term for these additional benefits as part of the overall consideration for Scynexis to enter into this Agreement.

(e)Royalty Report and Payment. Within [*] after the end of each Calendar Quarter, commencing with the first Calendar Quarter in which there is any Net Sales of any Product anywhere in the Territory, Hansoh shall provide Scynexis with a preliminary report that contains the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter: (i) the aggregate amount of gross sales of each Product in each Region during the applicable Calendar Quarter, (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales showing separately each type of deduction provided for in the definition of “Net Sales,” (iii) a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales in Dollars, including the exchange rate used in such calculation in accordance with Section 8.6, and (iv) whether any sales milestone has been achieved. Upon receipt of the applicable quarterly preliminary royalty report, Scynexis will invoice Hansoh based on such preliminary royalty report and Hansoh shall pay to Scynexis in Dollars the royalties owed with respect to Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter based on such preliminary report within [*] after receipt of such invoice. Hansoh shall provide semi-annual final royalty report within [*] after the second and fourth Calendar Quarters of each Calendar Year instead of the foregoing preliminary report. Such final royalty report will reconcile (if necessary) the amounts paid by Hansoh to Scynexis pursuant to the invoice in the prior Calendar Quarter with the royalty amounts set forth in the semi-annual final royalty report for the two Calendar Quarters covered by such final report. Upon receipt of the applicable semi-annual final royalty report, Scynexis will invoice Hansoh based on such final report and

30.

Hansoh shall pay to Scynexis in Dollars the royalties owned with respect to Net Sales based on the semi-annual final royalty report within [*] after receipt of such invoice.

8.6Currency; Exchange Rate. All payments to be made by Hansoh to Scynexis under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank account designated by written notice from Scynexis. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars shall be made at the average of the closing exchange rates reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Eastern Edition) for the first, middle and last business days of the applicable reporting period for the payment due.

8.7Late Payments. If Scynexis does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date as set forth in this Agreement, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to Scynexis from the due date until the date of payment at a per-annum rate of prime (as reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Eastern Edition)) plus two percentage points or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Laws, whichever is less.

8.8Financial Records and Audits. Hansoh shall (and shall ensure that its Affiliates and sublicensees will) maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with GAAP, IFRS or equivalent internal standard policies and procedures of the applicable Selling Party and in sufficient detail to permit Scynexis to confirm the accuracy of Net Sales reported by Hansoh and amounts payable under this Agreement. Upon no less than [*] prior written notice, such records shall be available for examination, during regular business hours of Hansoh or its Affiliate or sublicensee, for a period of [*] from the creation of individual records, and not more often than once each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant mutually agreed by Scynexis and Hansoh (any independent certified public accountant from Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Ernst & Young (EY) or Klynveild Peat Marwick Goerdier (KPMG) shall be considered acceptable), for the sole purpose of verifying for Scynexis the accuracy of the Net Sales and royalty reports provided by Hansoh under this Agreement. Such independent certified public accountant may only share in a report its final determination of whether there has been an underpayment or overpayment and the amount of such underpayment or overpayment based on such audit with the Parties. In no event may such independent certified public accountant shall share any copies of or a portion of the underlying records with Scynexis, its Affiliates or any of its upstream licensors. Scynexis shall bear the cost of such audit unless such audit reveals an underpayment by Hansoh of more than [*] of the amount actually due for the period of time being audited, in which case Hansoh shall reimburse Scynexis for the costs of such audit. Hansoh shall pay to Scynexis any underpayment discovered by such audit within [*] after the accountant’s report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 8.7) from the original due date. Scynexis shall reimburse to Hansoh any overpayment discovered by such audit within [*] after the accountant’s report. Hansoh shall include in each relevant sublicense granted by it a provision requiring the sublicensee to maintain records of sales of the Product made pursuant to such sublicense and to grant access to such records to the same extent and under the same obligations as required of Hansoh under this Agreement.

31.

8.9Tax Withholding.

(a)As between the Parties, each Party shall bear all taxes, fees, duties, levies or similar amounts imposed on its net income (however denominated), franchise taxes and any branch profit taxes arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Parties and payments made under this Agreement.

(b)The Parties shall cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the payments made hereunder. To the extent Hansoh is required by Applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any tax on any payment to Scynexis, (i) the sum payable by Hansoh to Scynexis for the upfront payment set forth in Section 8.1(a) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Scynexis receives a sum equal to the sum that Scynexis would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding, (ii) the sum payable by Hansoh to Scynexis for the technology transfer fee, and all milestone payments shall be made to Scynexis after deduction [*] of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld (which withheld amount shall be treated as paid to Scynexis), and Hansoh shall be required to increase the amount associated with the remaining [*] of the amount required to be withheld to the extent necessary to ensure that Scynexis receives a sum equal to the sum that Scynexis would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding of such remaining [*] and (iii) the sum payable by Hansoh to Scynexis for all royalty payments shall be made to Scynexis after deduction [*] of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld (which withheld amount shall be treated as paid to Scynexis), and Hansoh shall be required to increase the amount associated with the remaining [*] of the amount required to be withheld to the extent necessary to ensure that Scynexis receives a sum equal to the sum that Scynexis would have received had there been no such deduction or withholding of such remaining [*]. For purposes of clarity and avoidance of doubt, any such withholding taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld in connection with payments of technology transfer fee and milestones shall be an expense of, and borne [*] by Hansoh and [*] by Scynexis. For purposes of clarity and avoidance of doubt, any such withholding taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld in connection with royalty payments shall be an expense of, and borne [*] by Hansoh and [*] by Scynexis. Upon Hansoh’s request, Scynexis shall use reasonable efforts to provide Hansoh any tax form that may be reasonably necessary in order for Hansoh to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Both Parties shall also provide the other Party reasonable assistance and cooperation to enable the recovery, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from the payments made under this Agreement. All amounts deducted or withheld shall be remitted to appropriate Government Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.

Article 14
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the Term which relate to either Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Article 14 to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, if and when a dispute arises under this Agreement.

14.2Internal Resolution. With respect to all disputes arising between the Parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any alleged breach under this Agreement or any issue relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within [*] after such dispute is first identified by either Party in writing to the other, the Parties shall refer such dispute to the Executive Officers of the Parties for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [*] after such notice is received.

14.3Binding Arbitration.

(a)If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute through escalation to the Executive Officers under Section 14.2, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) pursuant to its arbitration rules and procedures then in effect.

(b)The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators experienced in the pharmaceutical business: within [*] after initiation of arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator (who shall be the chairperson of the arbitration panel) within [*] of their appointment.

If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than [*] and equitable relief is not sought, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator agreed by the Parties (or appointed by ICC if the Parties cannot agree).

(c)The seat and location of the arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom (provided however that the Parties may agree to conduct the arbitration proceeding (or any part thereof) by teleconference if travel is restricted) and the language of the proceedings shall be English.

Without prejudice to such provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a competent court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional or interim remedies and to award damages for the failure of any Party to the dispute to respect the arbitral tribunal’s order to that effect.

(e)Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator; provided, however, the arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator.

(f)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.3, in the event of a dispute with respect to the validity, scope, enforceability or ownership of any Patent or other intellectual property rights, and such dispute is not resolved in accordance with Section 14.2, such dispute shall not be submitted to an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 14.3, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, and instead either Party may initiate litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction in any country in which such rights apply.
