Baker Purchase Rights and Private Placement Purchase Rights
The fair value of the Baker Purchase Rights, and the subsequent change in fair value of these rights upon exercise of such rights, was determined as the maximum of (i) the fair value of rights to purchase the additional $10 million Baker Notes and (ii) the fair value of the shares of on as-if converted basis, which was determined by the lattice model. The fair value of rights to purchase an additional 2,049,180 Baker Warrants was valued using a Geske option-pricing model. The Geske model was based on the applicable assumptions, including the underlying stock price, warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the rights to purchase the Baker Warrants, the term of the Baker Warrants, the term of the rights to purchase the Baker Warrants, the expected volatility of the Company’s peer group, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.
The fair value of the Private Placement Purchase Rights issued in connection with the 2019 Private Placement, and the change in fair value of the Private Placement Purchase Rights as a result of the mark-to-market upon stockholder approval of the 2019 Private Placement, was determined using a combination of a lattice model and a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The lattice model was used to determine a range of future value of the Company's common stock. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was based on the applicable assumptions, including the future value of the Company's common stock as determined by the lattice model, warrant exercise price, time to expiration, expected volatility of our peer group, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.
8.Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
Fleet Lease
In December 2019, the Company (the Lessee) and Enterprise FM Trust (the Lessor) entered into a Master Equity Lease Agreement (the Fleet Lease Agreement), whereby the Company leases vehicles to be delivered by the Lessor from time to time with various monthly costs depending on the vehicles delivered for a term of 24 or 36 months, commencing on each corresponding delivery date. The leased vehicles are for use by eligible employees of the Company's commercial operations personnel (the Fleet Lease). There was a total of 54 and 70 vehicles delivered during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company maintains a letter of credit as collateral in favor of the Lessor, which was included in restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. This letter of credit was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2020. There was no such amount as of December 31, 2019. The Company determined that the leased vehicles are accounted for as operating leases under ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842).
2020 Lease and the First Amendment
On October 9, 2019, the Company entered into an office lease for approximately 24,474 square feet (Existing Premises) pursuant to a non-cancelable lease agreement (the 2020 Lease). The 2020 Lease commenced on April 1, 2020 and will expire on September 30, 2025, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The Company has a right to extend the term of the lease for an additional five years and does not anticipate exercising such extension. The Company provided the landlord with a $750,000 security deposit in the form of a letter of credit for the Existing Premises. On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into the first amendment to the 2020 Lease for an additional 8,816 rentable square feet of the same office location (Expansion Premises), which commenced on September 1, 2020 (Expansion Premises Commencement Date) and will expire on September 30, 2025.

2015 Lease
Effective January 30, 2015, Private Evofem entered into a sublease for office space under a noncancelable lease agreement that expired in March 2020 (the 2015 Lease), which is the Company’s primary office space. The sublease provided for two renewal periods of five years each, but the sub-lessor did not renew its lease. In lieu of paying a security deposit directly to the sub-lessor, the Company maintained a time deposit in favor of the sub-lessor (the Deposit), which is included in restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During months 13 through 58 of the 2015 Lease term, subject to certain restrictions, approximately $5,000 of the Deposit was released each month through November 2019 and approximately $66,000 of the Deposit was released each month between December 2019 and March 2020. The 2015 Lease expired on March 31, 2020.
Leased Space
In August 2017, the Company entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with an outside supplier for a term of one year from August 2017. This agreement was further renewed by both parties to cover the period from August 2018 to September 2019. Under the agreement, the supplier provides a dedicated packaging space for the Company at a fixed monthly cost. The Company determined that this dedicated space is accounted for as an operating lease under ASC 842. The lease for this space expired in September 2019.

Other Contractual Commitments
In November 2019, the Company entered into a supply and manufacturing agreement with a third-party to manufacture Phexxi and potentially other product candidates in accordance with all applicable current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) regulations, pursuant to which the Company has certain contractual commitments commencing in 2020.
In accordance with the aforementioned Fleet Lease Agreement, the Company has certain contractual commitments for the vehicles to be delivered for use by the Company's sales force, for which ROU assets and lease liabilities will be recognized upon delivery.
Contingencies
From time to time the Company may be involved in various lawsuits, legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. There were no claims or actions pending against the Company as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which management believes would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, liquidity, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business.
Intellectual Property Rights
In 2014, Private Evofem entered into an amended and restated license agreement with Rush University (the Rush License Agreement) pursuant to which Rush University granted Private Evofem an exclusive, worldwide license of certain patents and know-how related to its multipurpose vaginal pH modulator technology authorizing Private Evofem to make, distribute and commercialize products and processes for any and all therapeutic, prophylactic and/or diagnostic uses, including, without limitation, use for female vaginal health and/or birth control. Pursuant to the Rush License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to Rush University an earned royalty based upon a percentage of net sales in the range of mid-single digits. In September 2020, the Company entered the first amendment to the Rush License Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is also obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty amount of $100,000 to the extent the earned royalties do not equal or exceed $100,000 commencing January 1, 2021. Such royalty payment was immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
In October 2015, the Company entered into separate sublicense agreements (the Sublicenses) with WomanCare Global Trading CIC (WCGCIC) for a contraceptive vaginal ring for aggregate consideration of (i) payments or potential payments to WCGCIC of (a) an upfront payment of $10.0 million, (b) potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments up to $32.0 million, (c) potential royalty payments on net product sales and (d) potential royalty payments on net sales of an equivalent generic product and (ii) $5.0 million in annual sublicense fees through October 1, 2019 to WCGCIC.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Sublicenses were reassigned to WCG Cares, upon which, the unpaid sublicense fees ceased accruing interest and all accrued sublicense fees and interest expense of $1.3 million were transferred and became payable to WCG Cares. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company and WCG Cares entered into a settlement agreement, whereby the Company paid $1.0 million to WCG Cares to settle the entire outstanding balance. The Company recorded the difference of $0.3 million as a concession recorded within other income (expense) in its condensed consolidated statement of operations during the third quarter of 2019. See Note 9- Related-party Transactions for a summary of the Company’s transactions with WCGCIC, WomanCare Global International, a non-profit organization registered in England and Wales (WCGI) and related entities, and WCG Cares.

Consulting fees incurred under the 2017 and 2019 Consulting Agreements were zero and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Transactions with WCGI and Related Entities
From 2009 to 2016, Ms. Saundra Pelletier was the founding CEO of WCGI. In February 2013, Private Evofem and WCGI formed an alliance (the WCGI Alliance) and Ms. Pelletier also became Private Evofem’s CEO. Concurrent with the forming of the WCGI Alliance, Private Evofem and WCGI entered into a (i) service agreement to which the companies shared resources and employees and (ii) three-year grant agreement under which Private Evofem provided funding to WCGI.
From 2011 to 2017, Ms. Pelletier served as a director of the board of WomanCare Global Trading, Inc., a WCGI subsidiary. As described in Note 8- Commitments and Contingencies, in October 2015, Private Evofem, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into two sublicense agreements whereby Private Evofem was responsible for paying $5.0 million in annual sublicense fees, net of amounts paid under the grant agreement during 2015, to WCGCIC, also a WCGI affiliate.
Effective January 2016, Private Evofem and WCGI entered into a shared-services agreement (the SSA), which replaced the prior service agreement. Under the terms of the SSA, Private Evofem and WCGI cross charged the other company’s services provided by each entity on behalf of the other. The SSA also allowed for netting of due to and due from shared-services fees. In July 2019, the SSA was terminated. Services provided under the SSA on behalf of WCGI were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The amounts of receivables and payables related to the Company’s transactions with WCGI related entities as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were immaterial. All accrued sublicense fees and interest expense related to the Sublicenses as of December 31, 2018 became payable to WCG Cares during the first quarter of 2019.
Transactions with WCG Cares
In 2013, WCG Cares, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was incorporated under the laws of the State of California. Its primary purpose is to directly engage in and/or fund the development and implementation of programs that promote reproductive health, education, research and increased access to high-quality, innovative and affordable reproductive healthcare and healthcare products around the world. Ms. Pelletier served as the CEO and President of WCG Cares from 2013 to November 2017. She was a member of its board from November 2017 to March 1, 2020, and also served as chair of its board of directors from November 2017 to May 2018. Additionally, Mr. Justin J. File served as WCG Cares' Chief Financial Officer from November 2017 to May 2018. Dr. Kelly Culwell served as WCG Cares' Chief Medical Officer from November 2017 to December 2018. Dr. Culwell was also appointed to its board of directors in January 2019 with a term of three years until December 31, 2021.
In March 2018, the Company and WCG Cares entered into a shared-services agreement (the Cares Shared Services Agreement). Under the terms of the Cares Shared Services Agreement, the Company and WCG Cares cross charged services provided by each entity (or their subsidiaries) on behalf of the other. The Cares Shared Services Agreement also allowed for netting of due to and due from shared-services fees. In July 2019, the Company provided a notice of termination to WCG Cares to terminate the Cares Shared Services Agreement effective September 2019. Services provided under the Cares Shared Services Agreement on behalf of WCG Cares were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the net shared-services due to the Company were immaterial as of September 30, 2019.
Variable Interest Entity Considerations
Due to shared management and numerous agreements between the Company and WCGI and the Company and WCG Cares, management reviewed its relationship with both WCGI and its subsidiaries and WCG Cares in accordance with the authoritative guidance for variable interest entities within ASC 810, Consolidation. The Company concluded that due to WCGI’s and WCG Cares’ status as not-for-profit entities the scope exception from qualifying as a variable interest entity was met and, therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate WCGI or WCG Cares.
10.2019 Private Placement
On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with PDL BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (PDL), funds discretionally managed by Invesco Ltd. (Invesco) and funds managed by Woodford Investment Management Ltd. (WIM, collectively with Invesco and PDL, the 2019 Purchasers), providing for the issuance and sale to the 2019 Purchasers of an aggregate of up to $80 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Private Placement Shares) at a purchase price of $4.50 per share, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of $6.38 per share (collectively, the Private Placement Securities) in a private placement (the Private Placement) to be funded in up to two separate closings.
The first closing was completed on April 11, 2019 (the Private Placement First Closing), pursuant to which the Company (i) issued and sold to PDL 6,666,667 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,666,667 shares of common stock (the Private Placement First Closing Warrants) and (ii) provided to the 2019 Purchasers an option, but not an obligation, from the Company to issue and sell to each 2019 Purchaser the shares of common stock and warrants as specified in the aforementioned Securities Purchase Agreement during the period beginning on April 11, 2019 and ending on June 10, 2019 (the Private Placement Purchase Rights). The total consideration for the Private Placement First Closing was $30 million.
The second closing was completed on June 10, 2019 (the Private Placement Second Closing), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to PDL, Invesco and WIM (i) 6,666,667, 2,222,222 and 2,222,223 shares of its common stock, respectively and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 1,666,667, 555,556 and 555,556 shares of common stock (the Private Placement Second Closing Warrants), respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million. Shares of common stock issued to WIM included one voting share issued in connection with the issuance of its warrants.
The Company’s stockholders approved the Private Placement at its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 5, 2019 (the Private Placement Approval Date).
The warrants have a 7-year term and will become exercisable at any time on or after the date that is six (6) months following their respective issuance dates. The Company determined the Private Placement First Closing Warrants were free standing financial instruments and a liability classified in accordance with ASC 480 due to the requirement to obtain stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of warrants at issuance and on the Private Placement Approval Date for the Private Placement First Closing Warrants, and recorded the following in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2019: (i) $3.6 million warrant liability at issuance; (ii) $3.3 million change in fair value of warrants in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as a result of mark-to-market on the Private Placement Approval Date; and (iii) $6.9 million reclassification from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on the Private Placement Approval Date.
The Private Placement Second Closing Warrants were determined to be free standing financial instruments and equity classified in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of warrants at issuance and recorded an estimated fair value of $12.7 million as additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company also determined the Private Placement Purchase Rights were free standing financial instruments and liability classified in accordance with ASC 480 due to the stockholder approval provision noted above. As described in Note 7- Fair Value Financial Instruments, the Company utilized a combination of a lattice model and a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of the Private Placement Purchase Rights at issuance and on the Private Placement Approval Date. The Company recorded the following in the condensed consolidated financial statements during the second quarter of 2019: (i) $3.2 million purchase rights liability at issuance for the purchase rights provided to PDL; (ii) $0.7 million loss on issuance of purchase rights at issuance in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the purchase rights provided to Invesco and WIM; (iii) $19.6 million change in fair value of purchase rights in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as a result of mark-to-market on the Private Placement Approval Date; and (iv) $22.8 million reclassification from purchase rights liability to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on the Private Placement Approval Date.
Upon completion of the Private Placement First Closing and Private Placement Second Closing, the Company received proceeds of approximately $28.2 million and $47.2 million, net of $1.8 million and $2.8 million in advisory fees to financial advisors, respectively, and used these proceeds for clinical research and development purposes, including resubmission of the New Drug Application for Phexxi to the FDA, commercialization activities, and for general corporate purposes.
Additionally, upon completion of the Private Placement Second Closing, the previously issued WIM Warrants and Reload Warrants (as defined below) to purchase up to 475,000 shares and 1,188,029 shares of common stock, respectively,
were canceled. See Note 11- Stockholders' Equity for additional details on the Reload Warrants. The Company included such cancellation in valuing the purchase rights described above.
11.Stockholders' Equity
Warrants
On February 5, 2019, the Company entered into letter agreements (the Repricing Letter Agreements) with WIM and certain other holders of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of the Company by exercising certain outstanding warrants. Upon execution of the Repricing Letter Agreements, investment funds affiliated with WIM exercised certain warrants received upon the completion of the Merger (WIM Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of 1,525,000 shares of common stock, and WIM and other holders of common warrants issued in the public offering in May 2018 (Public Offering Warrants) exercised their common warrants to purchase an aggregate of 851,062 shares of common stock at a reduced exercise price of $2.64 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $6.3 million from these exercises.
The Company determined that the incremental fair value as a result of the modification to these warrants from the change of the exercise price was approximately $1.4 million and $0.5 million for the WIM Warrants and Public Offering Warrants, respectively, which were recorded as a change in fair value of warrants in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In addition, on February 8, 2019 and per the terms of the Repricing Letter Agreements, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,188,029 shares of the Company’s common stock (Reload Warrants) to the holders' party to the Repricing Letter Agreements at an exercise price of $5.20 per share. The Company determined the Reload Warrants are free standing financial instruments and equity classified in accordance with ASC 480. Since the Reload Warrants were issued in addition to the reduced exercise price to induce the holders of WIM Warrants and common warrants to exercise their warrants, the Company determined the fair value of the Reload Warrants was also the incremental fair value as a result of the modification to the WIM warrants and common warrants exercised. To determine the fair value of the Reload Warrants, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which resulted in an estimated fair value of the Reload Warrants of $2.5 million, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and change in fair value of warrants in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
On June 10, 2019, upon the Second Closing of the Private Placement as discussed in Note 10- 2019 Private Placement, the remaining WIM Warrants to purchase up to 475,000 shares of common stock and all Reload Warrants were cancelled. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,444,446 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the Private Placement at an exercise price of $6.38 per share in April and June 2019.
In April and June 2020, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement as discussed in Note 5- Convertible Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 5,122,950 shares of common stock in a private placement at an exercise price of $2.44 per share.
As of September 30, 2020, warrants to purchase up to 10,426,107 shares of the Company’s common stock remain outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $4.54 per share. These warrants are summarized below:

On June 2, 2020, in connection with the Public Offering discussed in Note 11- Stockholders’ Equity, the Equity Distribution Agreement was terminated. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds of approximately $3.8 million in cash and cash equivalents (including $0.3 million that was included in other receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019), net of commissions, from the sale of 676,656 shares of its common stock.

Stockholder Rights Agreement
On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a rights agreement (the Rights Agreement) with Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc., as rights agent. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Agreement and pursuant to its terms, the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared a dividend of one right (each, a Right) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 8, 2020 (the Record Date), and authorized the issuance of one Right for each share of common stock issued by the Company (except as otherwise provided in the Rights Agreement) between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (as defined below).
Each Right entitles stockholders to purchase from the Company, when exercisable and subject to adjustment, one one-thousandth of a share (a Unit) of Series A Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) at a purchase price of $17.50 per Unit (the Purchase Price). The Rights generally become exercisable (the Distribution Date) upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days
following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an Acquiring Person) has acquired or otherwise obtained beneficial ownership of 32% or more of the then‑outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the date of such public announcement, the Stock Acquisition Date), and (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. If a person becomes an Acquiring Person, then each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Units of Preferred Stock or, at the option of the Company, shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right. If the Company is acquired in a merger or similar business combination transaction at any time after a person has become an Acquiring Person, each holder of a right (other than the Acquiring Person and certain related parties) will be entitled to purchase a similar amount of common stock of the acquiring entity.

In September 2012, Private Evofem adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2012 Plan) that provides for the issuance of RSAs, RSUs, or non-qualified and incentive common stock options to its employees, non-employee directors and consultants, from its authorized shares. In general, the options expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest either (i) over a four-year period, with 25% exercisable at the end of one year from the employee’s hire date and the balance vesting ratably thereafter or (ii) over a three-year period, with 25% exercisable at the grant date and the balance vesting ratably thereafter. Upon completion of the Merger, Private Evofem’s 2012 Plan was assumed by the Company and awards outstanding under the 2012 Plan became awards for the Company’s common stock. Effective as of the Merger, no further awards may be issued under the 2012 Plan.
On September 15, 2014, Neothetics’ board of directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan), which was amended and restated on each of May 2018 and February 26, 2019 (the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan), which among other things, increased the number of authorized shares under the 2014 Plan from 749,305 to an aggregate of 7,800,000 shares. On February 25, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, and recommended its stockholders approve at the 2020 Annual Meeting, an additional 2,000,000 authorized shares reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan to an aggregate of 11,725,515 shares, including the Evergreen Shares discussed below. Such stockholder approval was obtained on May 12, 2020. Per the terms of the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, the shares reserved will automatically increase on each January 1 through 2024, by an amount equal to the smaller of (i) 4% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31; or (ii) an amount determined by our board of directors. This provision resulted in an additional 1,925,515 shares (Evergreen Shares) added to the total number of authorized shares on January 1, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,752,262 shares available to grant under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan.
On July 24, 2018, upon the recommendation by the Compensation Committee, the Company's board of directors adopted the Evofem Biosciences, Inc. 2018 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the Inducement Plan), pursuant to which the Company reserved 250,000 shares for the issuance of equity awards under the Inducement Plan. The Inducement Plan was amended effective February 25, 2020 (the Amended Inducement Plan), which increased the number of authorized shares to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares. The only persons eligible to receive awards under the Inducement Plan are individuals who satisfy the standards for inducement grant recipients under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4), generally, a person not previously an employee or director of the Company, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to the individual’s entering into employment with the Company. As of September 30, 2020, there were 484,175 shares available to grant under the Inducement Plan.
Stock Options
There were 631,200 and 290,000 shares of stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2,873,685 and 733,000 shares of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of the total stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 1,027,400 were granted out of the share reserve increase approved by the board of directors under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan on February 25, 2020 and were subject to the Company obtaining the requisite stockholder approval. This stockholder approval was obtained on May 12, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employee stock options was approximately $10.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.4 years, assuming all unvested options become fully vested.
Summary of Assumptions
The fair value of noncash stock-based compensation for stock options granted to employees and non-employees was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted for the periods indicated.

Expected volatility. The expected volatility assumption is based on volatilities of a peer group of similar companies whose share prices are publicly available. The peer group was developed based on companies in the biotechnology industry.
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock option grants.
Expected dividend yield. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.
Expected term. The expected term represents the period options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected term assumption using the practical expedient as provided for under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which is the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option.
Restricted Stock Awards and Units
There were zero and 150,000 shares of RSAs granted under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 1,265,000 and 625,500 shares of RSAs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively, to its executive management team and certain non-executive employees. The vesting conditions for 1,245,000 shares of RSAs granted during the first quarter of 2020 and 460,500 shares of RSAs granted during the first quarter of 2019 are connected to the Company’s achievement of certain performance milestones in the corresponding fiscal year (Performance-based RSAs).
For the Performance-based RSAs, (i) the fair value of the award was determined on the grant date, (ii) the Company assessed the probability of achieving each individual milestone associated with the award using reasonable assumptions based on the Company's operation performance towards each milestone and (iii) the fair value of the shares subject to the milestone is expensed over the implicit service period commencing once management believes the performance criteria is probable of being met. The non-performance based RSAs and RSUs were valued at the fair value on the grant date and the associated expenses will be recognized over the vesting period.
The Company recognized $0.1 million and $6.5 million stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, for RSAs and RSUs. As of September 30, 2020, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested RSAs and RSUs was approximately $0.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.3 years.
On April 1, 2020, under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, the Company issued 150,000 RSUs to the former chairman of the Company’s board of directors in consideration for certain consulting services to be provided to the Company in connection with the 2019 Consulting Agreement, which were immediately forfeited upon the passing of Mr. Lynch.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In November 2014, Neothetics adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2014 ESPP), which initially authorized the issuance of 28,333 shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees, and an additional 258,672 evergreen shares were added to the total shares authorized on January 1, 2019. Following completion of the Merger, there was no enrollment in the 2014 ESPP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no shares of common stock purchased under the 2014 ESPP.
On May 7, 2019, the board of directors terminated the 2014 ESPP and approved a new 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2019 ESPP), which was approved by stockholders at the 2019 annual meeting held on June 5, 2019. The 2019 ESPP initially authorized the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 ESPP will increase on January 1 of each year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1,000,000 shares, (ii) 2% of the shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, or (iii) such lesser number of shares as is determined by the board of directors. As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,354,968 shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the 2019 ESPP. The 2019 ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
The 2019 ESPP enables eligible full-time and part-time employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of between 1% and 15% of eligible compensation during an offering period. A new offering period begins approximately every June 15 and December 15. At the last business day of each offering period, the accumulated contributions made during the offering period will be used to purchase shares. The purchase price is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or the last business day of an offering period. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased by any participant during an offering period will be equal to $25,000 divided by the fair market value of the common stock on the first business day of an offering period. The current active offering period under the 2019 ESPP commenced on June 15, 2020 and will end on December 14, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were zero and 67,454 shares of common stock purchased under the 2019 ESPP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no shares of common stock purchased under the 2019 ESPP.
The fair value of shares to be issued to employees under the 2019 ESPP is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the grant date, which requires the use of subjective and complex assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) the expected dividend yield. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value of shares under the 2019 ESPP at the grant dates for the period indicated.

13.Subsequent Events
Subsequent events were evaluated through the filing date of this Quarterly Report, November 9, 2020.
On October 14, 2020, the Company sold and issued unsecured convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million (the Notes) to Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund, L.P., and Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund DE, L.P. (the 2020 Purchasers) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) by and between the Company and the 2020 Purchasers. Proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used to support EVOGUARD and to expand global market access for Phexxi.
The Notes have a five-year term and may be prepaid at the option of the Company and/or will become payable at the option of the 2020 Purchasers in connection with certain Company change of control transactions. The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum, and accrued interest will accrete on a quarterly basis in arrears to the outstanding balances
of the Notes. The Notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Baker Notes described in Note 5- Convertible Notes.
The Notes are convertible, subject to certain beneficial ownership blockers, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time at the option of the 2020 Purchasers at a conversion price of $3.65 per share (the Conversion Price). The Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price immediately following the earliest of the time at which the (i) 30-day value-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is $10.00 per share, or (ii) Company achieves cumulative net sales from the sales of Phexxi of $100,000,000, provided such net sales are achieved prior to July 1, 2022.
