CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. All statements other
than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly
Report, including statements regarding our anticipated future
clinical and regulatory events, future financial position, business
strategy and plans and objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward looking
statements are generally written in the future tense and/or are
preceded by words such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “forecast,” “could,”
“expect,” “suggest,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “continue,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,”
or similar words, or the negatives of such terms or other
variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such
forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the planned
expanded commercialization of our products and the potential future
commercialization of our product candidates, our anticipated future
cash position; our plan to acquire additional assets; our
anticipated future growth rates; anticipated
sales increases; anticipated net revenue increases;
amounts of certain future expenses and
costs of goods sold; anticipated
increases to operating expenses, research and development expenses,
and selling, general, and administrative expenses; and
future events under our current and potential future
collaborations. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including without
limitation the risks described in “Risk Factors” in
Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K, and in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These risks are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in
a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk
factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our
management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the
impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
predictions of future events. We can provide no assurance that the
events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking
statements will be achieved or occur and actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement
forward-looking statements, except as may be required under
applicable law.
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes trademarks, such as Aytu,
Natesto, Tuzistra, ZolpiMist, MiOXSYS, and RedoxSYS, which are
protected under applicable intellectual property laws and we own or
have the rights to. Solely for convenience, our trademarks and
trade names referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may
appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such
references are not intended to indicate in any way that we will not
assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to
these trademarks and trade names.

AYTU BIOSCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Business, Basis of Presentation, License and Supply
Agreements
Business
Aytu
BioScience, Inc. (“Aytu”, the “Company” or
“we”) was incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on
August 9, 2002 in the State of Colorado. Aytu was
re-incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2015. Aytu
is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global
commercialization of novel products addressing significant medical
needs such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), cough and
upper respiratory symptoms, insomnia, and male infertility
and plans to expand
opportunistically into other therapeutic areas.
Basis of Presentation
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this
report represent the financial statements of Aytu and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Aytu Women’s Health, LLC. The
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with Aytu’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2018, which included all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the financial position of Aytu and the results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The
results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2019 are not
necessarily indicative of expected operating results for the full
year. The information presented throughout this report, as of and
for the periods ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, is
unaudited.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP. On August 10, 2018, Aytu
effected a reverse stock split in which each common stockholder
received one share of common stock for every 20 shares held (herein
referred to collectively as the “Reverse Stock Split”).
All share and per share amounts in this report have been adjusted
to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
License and Supply Agreement—Natesto
In
April 2016, Aytu entered into a license and supply agreement to
acquire the exclusive U.S. rights to commercialize Natesto®
(testosterone) nasal gel from Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation,
or Acerus. We acquired the rights effective upon the expiration of
the former licensee’s rights, which occurred on June 30,
2016. The term of the license runs for the greater of eight years
or until the expiry of the latest to expire patent, including
claims covering Natesto or until the entry on the market of at
least one AB-rated generic product.
In
addition to the previously disclosed upfront payments made to
Acerus, we agreed to make one-time, non-refundable milestone
payments to Acerus within 45 days of the occurrence of certain
agreed upon milestones. The maximum aggregate amount payable under
such milestone payments is $37.5 million.
The
fair value of the net identifiable Natesto asset acquired was
determined to be $10.5 million, which is being amortized over eight
years. The aggregate amortization expense for each of the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $330,000. The
aggregate amortization expense for each of the nine-month periods
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $989,000.
The
contingent consideration was initially valued at $3.2 million using
a Monte Carlo simulation, as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2018,
the contingent consideration was revalued at $1.8 million using the
same Monte Carlo simulation methodology, and based on current
interest rates, expected sales potential, and Aytu stock trading
variables. The contingent consideration accretion expense for each
of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was
$17,000, and $178,000, respectively. The contingent consideration
accretion expense for each of the nine-month periods ended March
31, 2019 and 2018 was $48,000, and $508,000, respectively. As of
March 31, 2019, no milestone payments have been made.
License Agreement—ZolpiMist
In June
2018, Aytu signed an exclusive license agreement for
ZolpiMist™ (zolpidem tartrate oral spray) from Magna
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (“Magna”). This agreement allows
for Aytu’s exclusive commercialization of ZolpiMist in the
U.S. and Canada.
Aytu
made an upfront payment of $400,000 to Magna upon execution of the
agreement. In July 2018, we paid an additional $300,000, of which,
$297,000 was included in current contingent consideration at June
30, 2018.
The
ZolpiMist license agreement was valued at $3.2 million and will be
amortized over the life of the license agreement up to seven years.
The amortization expense for each of the three months ended March
31, 2019 and 2018 was $116,000 and $0, respectively. The
amortization expense for each of the nine months ended March 31,
2019 and 2018 was $348,000 and $0, respectively.
We also
agreed to make certain royalty payments to Magna which will be
calculated as a percentage of ZolpiMist net sales and are payable
within 45 days of the end of the quarter during which the
applicable net sales occur.
The
contingent consideration related to these royalty payments was
valued at $2.6 million using a Monte Carlo simulation, as of June
11, 2018. The contingent consideration accretion expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $64,000, and $0,
respectively. The contingent consideration accretion expense for
the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $184,000, and $0,
respectively.
License, Development, Manufacturing and Supply
Agreement—Tuzistra XR
On
November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a License, Development,
Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “Tris License
Agreement”) with TRIS Pharma, Inc. (“TRIS”).
Pursuant to the Tris License Agreement, TRIS granted the Company an
exclusive license in the United States to commercialize Tuzistra
XR. In addition, TRIS granted the Company an exclusive license in
the United States to commercialize a complementary antitussive
referred to as “CCP-08” (together with Tuzistra XR, the
“Products”) for which marketing approval has been
sought by TRIS under a New Drug Application filed with the Food and
Drug Administration (“FDA”). As consideration for the
Products license, the Company: (i) made an upfront cash payment to
TRIS; (ii) issued shares of Series D Convertible preferred stock to
TRIS; and (iii) will pay certain royalties to TRIS throughout the
license term in accordance with the Tris License
Agreement.
The
Tris License Agreement was valued at $9.9 million and will be
amortized over the life of the Tris License Agreement up to twenty
years. The amortization expense for each of the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $123,000 and $0, respectively.
The amortization expense for each of the nine-month periods ended
March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $205,000 and $0,
respectively.
We also
agreed to make certain quarterly royalty payments to TRIS which
will be calculated as a percentage of our Tuzistra XR net sales,
payable within 45 days of the end of the applicable
quarter.
As of
November 2, 2018, the contingent consideration, related to this
asset, was valued at $8.8 million using a Monte Carlo simulation.
The contingent consideration accretion expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $73,000, and $0, respectively.
The contingent consideration accretion expense for the nine months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $119,000, and $0,
respectively.
Liquidity Assessment
Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Presentation of
Financial Statements - Going Concern, requires management to
evaluate the company’s ability to continue as a going concern
one year beyond the filing date of the financial statements
contained herein. This evaluation requires management to perform
two steps. First, management must evaluate whether there are
conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Second, if
management concludes that substantial doubt is raised, management
is required to consider whether it has plans in place to alleviate
that doubt. Disclosures in the notes to the financial statements
are required if management concludes that substantial doubt exists
or that its plans alleviate the substantial doubt that was
raised.
Prior
to the date of this Report, we have financed operations through a
combination of private and public debt and equity financings,
receipts from the sale of our products, and occasionally through
divestures of non-strategic assets. Our financing transactions have
included private placements of stock and convertible notes, and
public offerings of the Company’s equity securities. Since
the formation of Aytu in June 2015, the Company has raised
approximately $70.3 million, inclusive of the $15.2 million we
raised in October 2018, from the sale of securities to investors,
the exercise of warrants by investors and the $5.0 million of debt
issued in November 2018. Although it is difficult to predict our
liquidity requirements, based upon our current operating plan, as
of the date of this Report, we believe we will have sufficient cash
to meet our projected operating requirements for the next 12
months.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Topic 606,
Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU provide a
single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers and supersedes prior revenue recognition
guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core
principle of the new ASU is that revenue should be recognized to
depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
Disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are
also required. ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 also require the deferral of
incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers and
subsequent amortization of those costs of the period of anticipated
benefit. Collectively, we refer to this guidance as “ASC
606.”
Effective July 1,
2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC 606”). Adoption of this ASU
was done through the modified retrospective method and did not
result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or
accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. This is due to the
fact that the impact of adopting the new standard is not
significant as it relates to historical revenues, future revenues,
or accounting for incremental costs of obtaining contracts with our
customers.
We
adopted the new standard through applying the following conclusions
(resulting from a thorough analysis of all contract types): (1) The
new guidance did not materially change our existing policy and
practice for identifying contracts with customers, nor did it give
rise to changes to our existing policy and practice or create new
concern surrounding the collectability of our receivables from
customers, (2) none of our contracts with customers contain
multiple performance obligations that are not fulfilled at the same
time, (3) the new guidance did not change our existing policy and
practice regarding the recording of variable consideration, and (4)
we did not identify any customer acquisition costs that are
incremental and that are expected to be recovered at a future
time.
As
mentioned above, the modified retrospective method of transition
did not result in a cumulative adjustment as of July 1, 2018.
Additionally, no other line items in the statement of operations or
the balance sheet reflect any changes due to the adoption of the
new standard. Adoption of the standards related to revenue
recognition had no impact to cash from or used in operating,
financing, or investing on our consolidated cash flows
statement.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Adopted as of March
31, 2019
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The
amendments in the standard apply to all entities that are required,
under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or
nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 removes,
modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements in ASC 820, Fair
Value Measurement. The standard is effective for all entities for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2019.
The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range
and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to
develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative
description of measurement uncertainty should be applied
prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period
presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other
amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods
presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted
upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. An entity is permitted to early adopt
any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13
and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their
effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that
ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.
In June
2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments
– Credit Losses” to require the measurement of expected
credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date
based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable
forecasts. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial
statement users with more decision-useful information about the
expected credit losses on financial instruments and other
commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each
reporting date. The standard is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption
is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the
impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial
statements but does not anticipate there to be a material
impact.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02, “Leases
(Topic 842).” The
new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a
lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance
sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases
will be classified as either finance or operating, with
classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the
income statement. Lessees are required to use a modified
retrospective transition approach for capital and operating leases
existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest
comparative period presented in the financial statements, with
certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB
issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification
Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” to clarify how to apply certain aspects of
the new lease standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU
2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842):
Targeted Improvements,” to give reporting entities another option
for transition. The additional option for transition allows an
entity to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and
recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings in the period of adoption. In March 2019, the
FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842):
Codification Improvements,” which clarified that reporting entities are exempt
from the interim period transition disclosure requirements in
paragraph 250-10-50-3 of the guidance when adopting ASC 842.The new
standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those
fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its
pending adoption of this standard on its financial statements. As
of March 31, 2019, the Company has future operating lease payments
of approximately $166,000 that are being evaluated. The Company is
gathering and evaluating all key lease data elements to meet the
requirements of the new guidance.
Note 2 – Revenue Recognition
We
generate revenues from the sale of products. Revenue is recognized
when control of products is transferred to our customers, in an
amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to
in exchange for those products.
The
Company determines revenue recognition through the following
five-step model:
(i)
identification of
the promised goods or services in the contract;
(ii)
determination of
whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations,
including whether they are distinct in the context of the
contract;
(iii)
measurement of the
transaction price, including the constraint on variable
consideration;
(iv)
allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v)
recognition of
revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance
obligation.
Product
Revenues, Net
The
Company sells its products principally to a limited number of
wholesale distributors and pharmacies in the United States, which
account for the largest portion of our total revenue. International
sales are made primarily to specialty distributors, as well as
hospitals, laboratories, and clinics, some of which are government
owned or supported (collectively, its “Customers”). The
Company’s Customers in the United States subsequently resell
the products to patients and pharmacies. In accordance with ASC
606, the Company recognizes net revenues from product sales when
the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which
typically occurs upon delivery to the Customer. The Company’s
payment terms are between 30 to 60 days in the United States and
consistent with prevailing practice in international
markets.
Revenue
from product sales is recorded at the net sales price, or
“transaction price,” which includes estimates of
variable consideration that result from coupons, discounts,
chargebacks and distributor fees, processing fees, as well as
allowances for returns and government rebates. Provisions are
established for the estimates of variable consideration based on
the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sale. Provision
balances related to estimated amounts payable to direct customers
are netted against accounts receivable from such customers.
Balances related to indirect customers are included in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. Where appropriate, the Company
utilizes the expected value method to determine the appropriate
amount for estimates of variable consideration based on factors
such as the Company’s historical experience and specific
known market events and trends. We constrain our estimates by
giving consideration to factors that could otherwise lead to a
probable reversal of revenue.

Revenue, Net
The
license revenue of $6,000 and $0 recognized in the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represent the
payment received from the Company’s ZolpiMist sublicensing
agreement with SUDA Pharmaceuticals. In connection with the
ZolpiMist License Agreement, Aytu assumed the SUDA Pharmaceuticals
sublicensing agreement for ZolpiMist outside of the United States
and Canada. This licensing agreement calls for SUDA to lead
commercial development and sublicensing efforts for ZolpiMist in
major territories outside the United States and Canada, including
Europe, Asia, and Latin America. SUDA has already entered into
sublicensing agreements in key markets with large, multi-national
pharmaceutical companies and has agreements in place in China,
Chile, Brazil, and throughout Southeast Asia.
Note 3 - Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and
are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with
cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Aytu periodically
reviews the composition of its inventories to identify obsolete,
slow-moving or otherwise unsaleable items. If unsaleable items are
observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, Aytu
will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that
the impairment is first recognized. We currently have a reserve of
$10,000 for slow moving inventory as of March 31, 2019 and $0 at
June 30, 2018.

Note 6 – Fair Value Considerations
Aytu’s
financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
debt, warrant derivative liability, and contingent consideration.
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and
cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due
to their short maturities. The carrying amount of debt approximates
its fair value. The fair value of the warrant derivative liability
was valued using the lattice valuation methodology. The fair value
of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on a Monte
Carlo methodology using estimated discounted future cash flows and
periodic assessments of the probability of occurrence of potential
future events. The valuation policies are determined by the Chief
Financial Officer, and the Company’s Board of Directors is
informed of any policy change.
Authoritative
guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in
measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs
and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the
most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs
are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources
independent of Aytu. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect
Aytu’s assumptions of what market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken
down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as
follows:
Level 1:
|
Inputs
that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are
accessible to Aytu for identical assets or
liabilities;
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs
that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active or inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or
liability either directly or indirectly; and
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable
inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity.
|
Aytu’s
assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value are
classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to their fair value measurement. Aytu’s
policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value
hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in
circumstances caused the transfer. Aytu has consistently applied
the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods
presented.
The
following table presents Aytu’s financial liabilities that
were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March
31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, by level within the fair value
hierarchy.

The
warrant derivative liability was valued using the lattice valuation
methodology because that model embodies the relevant assumptions
that address the features underlying these instruments. The
warrants related to the warrant derivative liability are not
actively traded and are, therefore, classified as Level 3
liabilities. Significant assumptions in valuing the warrant
derivative liability, based on estimates of the value of Aytu
common stock and various factors regarding the warrants, were as
follows as of issuance and as of March 31, 2019:

We
classify our contingent consideration liability in connection with
the acquisition and licensing of Natesto, ZolpiMist and Tuzistra XR
within Level 3 as factors used to develop the estimated fair value
are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity.
We estimate the fair value of our contingent consideration
liability based on projected payment dates, discount rates,
probabilities of payment, and projected revenue. Projected
contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current
period using a discounted cash flow methodology.

Prescription Database
In May
2016, Aytu entered into an agreement with a vendor that will
provide Aytu with prescription information. Aytu agreed to pay
approximately $1.9 million over three years for access to the
database of prescriptions written for Natesto. Aggregate payments
have been broken down into quarterly payments. In December 2018,
Aytu executed an amendment to the contract that added Tuzistra XR
and extended the contract through May of 2022. The amendment added
$1.7 million to the contract value and as of March 31, 2019, Aytu
has $2.0 million of payments remaining.
Milestone Payments
In
connection with our intangible assets, Aytu has certain milestone
payments, totaling $5.5 million, that will be payable in the future
based on sales performance.
Office Lease
In June
2018, the Company entered into a 12-month operating lease,
beginning on August 1, 2018, for office space in Raleigh, North
Carolina. This lease has base rent of $1,100 a month, with total
rent over the term of the lease of approximately $13,200. In
September 2015, the Company entered into a 37-month operating lease
in Englewood, Colorado. This lease had an initial base rent of
$9,000 a month with a total base rent over the term of the lease of
approximately $318,000. In October 2017, the Company signed an
amendment to the 37-month operating lease in Englewood, Colorado,
extending the lease for an additional 24 months beginning October
1, 2018. The base rent remained $9,000 per month. In April 2019,
the Company extended the lease for an additional 36 months
beginning October1, 2020 (see Note 12). Rent expense for the
respective periods was as follows:

Note 8 – Debt–Related Party
On
November 29, 2018, Aytu issued a $5.0 million promissory note (the
“Note”) to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd.
(“Armistice”). The Note was collateralized by the
future revenue stream from the products licensed to the Company
under the Tris License Agreement between the Company and TRIS. The
Note carried an annual interest rate of 8% and had a three-year
term with principal and interest payable at maturity. The Company
had the right, in its sole discretion, to repay the Note without
penalty at any time after December 29, 2018. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2019, the Company did not exercised the early repayment
option. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company exchanged the
Note for a combination of common stock, preferred stock and
warrants (see Note 12).
Interest
expense for the Note for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and
2018 was $99,000 and $0, respectively. Interest expense for the
Note for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $135,000
and $0, respectively.
Note 9 – Common stock
At
March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, Aytu had 12,848,499 and 1,794,762
shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, and 2,335,665 and
0 shares of preferred stock outstanding, respectively. The Company
has 100 million shares of common stock authorized with a par
value of $0.0001 per share and 50 million shares of
preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001 per share,
of which 500 are designated Series A Convertible preferred stock,
161 are designated as Series B Convertible preferred stock,
8,342,993 are designated as Series C Convertible preferred stock,
and 400,000 are designated as Series D Convertible preferred stock.
Included in the common stock outstanding are 2,719,312 shares of
restricted stock issued to executives, directors, employees and
consultants.
On
October 9, 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering for,
total gross proceeds of $15.2 million which includes the full
exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to
purchase additional shares and warrants, before deducting
underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses
payable by the Company.
The
securities offered by the Company consisted of: (i) an aggregate of
457,007 shares of its common stock; (ii) an aggregate of 8,342,993
shares of its Series C Convertible preferred stock convertible into
an aggregate of 8,342,993 shares of common stock at a conversion
price of $1.50 per share; and (iii) warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 8,800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $1.50 per share. The securities were issued at a public offering
purchase price of $1.50 per fixed unit consisting of: (a) one share
of common stock and one warrant; or (b) one share of Series C
preferred stock and one warrant. The common stock issued had a
relative fair value of $533,000 in the aggregate and a fair value
of $594,000 in the aggregate. The Series C preferred stock issued
had a relative fair value of $9.7 million in the aggregate and a
fair value of $10.8 million in the aggregate. The warrants are
exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date
of issuance. The warrants have a relative fair value of $1.6
million in the aggregate, a fair value of $1.8 million in the
aggregate, and generated gross proceeds of $88,000. The conversion
price of the Series C preferred stock in the offering as well as
the exercise price of the warrants are fixed and do not contain any
variable pricing features, or any price based anti-dilution
features.
In
connection with this offering, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option in full, purchasing an additional 1,320,000
shares of common stock and 1,320,000 warrants. The common stock
issued had a relative fair value of $1.5 million and a fair value
of $1.7 million. The warrants have the same terms as the Warrants
sold in the registered offering. These warrants have a relative
fair value of $238,000, a fair value of $265,000, and gross
proceeds of $13,000, which was the purchase price per the
underwriting agreement.
In
October 2018, Aytu issued 9,000 shares of common stock to a former
employee.
On
November 2, 2018, the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series D
Convertible preferred stock as consideration for a purchased
asset.
In
March 2019, warrants issued from the
October registered offering to purchase an aggregate of 172,231
shares of common stock were exercised for aggregate gross proceeds
to our Company of approximately $259,000.
As of
March 31, 2019, investors holding shares of Series C preferred
stock exercised their right to convert 6,407,328 shares of Series C
preferred stock into 6,407,328 shares of common stock. As of March
31, 2019, Aytu has 1,935,665 shares of Series C preferred stock
outstanding.
Note 10 – Equity Instruments
Share-based Compensation Plans
On
June 1, 2015, Aytu’s stockholders approved the Aytu
BioScience 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2015
Plan”), which, as amended in July 2017, provides for the
award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
and other equity awards for up to an aggregate of 3.0 million
shares of common stock. The shares of common stock underlying any
awards that are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by Aytu prior to
vesting, satisfied without any issuance of stock, expire or are
otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2015 Plan
will be added back to the shares of common stock available for
issuance under the 2015 Plan. As of March 31, 2019, we have 205,562
shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan.
Pursuant
to the 2015 Plan, 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common
stock, are reserved for issuance. The fair value of options granted
has been calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain
assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including
the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, the
risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and
the expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause
significant adjustments to valuation. Aytu estimates the expected
term of granted options based on the average of the vesting term
and the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest
rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of
the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity. There
were no issuances during the three months ended March 31, 2019,
therefore, no assumptions are used for this quarter.

As
of March 31, 2019, there was $28,000 of total
unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested
stock options. The Company expects to recognize this expense over a
weighted-average period of 0.43 years.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Aytu issued 75,000
performance-based stock options out of the 2015 Plan to a
consultant. These options vest based on meeting certain market
criteria with an exercise price of $1.00. Market options that
require specific events before they begin to vest are valued at
grant date. The fair value of the options granted has been
calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions
at issuance in valuing the options were as follows:

In
connection with our October 2018 registered offering, we issued
warrants to investors and underwriters to purchase an aggregate of
10,423,600 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise price of $1.50 and a term of five years. These warrants
are accounted for under equity treatment. These warrants had a
relative fair value of $1.8 million and a fair value of $2.0
million.
In
March 2019, warrants issued from the
October registered offering to purchase an aggregate of 172,331
shares of common stock were exercised for aggregate gross proceeds
to our Company of approximately $259,000.
Note 11 – Related Party Transactions
Armistice
In
February 2019, the Company waived its right to disallow Armistice
from holding more than 4.99% of Aytu common stock and agreed to
allow Armistice to hold up to 40% of the outstanding shares of our
common stock. Also, in February 2019, Armistice converted 1.9
million shares of Series C preferred stock into Aytu common stock,
resulting in Armistice holding more than 10% of the Company’s
common stock. The Company also had a promissory note to Armistice
with a face value of $5.0 million (see Note 8), which was
subsequently exchanged for a combination of common stock, preferred
stock and warrants (see Note 12). Therefore, Armistice is now
considered an affiliate of the Company.
Co-Pay Support
In June
2018, the Company entered into a master services agreement with
TrialCard Incorporated (“TCI”), a vendor selected to
support the Company sponsored co-pay program. In supporting the
program, Aytu will prefund certain amounts from which TCI will make
disbursements to qualified patients presenting valid prescriptions
for Natesto, Tuzistra XR and ZolpiMist on behalf of Aytu.
Disbursements will be based upon business rules determined by Aytu.
The Company agreed to pay fees monthly to TCI for account
management, data analytics, implementation, and technology and to
reimburse TCI for certain direct costs incurred by TCI to support
the Company’s program. One of the Aytu directors, Mr.
Donofrio, was an executive officer of TCI but has no direct
interest in the arrangement. As of February 2019, Mr. Donofrio
is no longer employed by TCI.
Note 12 – Subsequent Events
During
April 2019, 691,832 of Aytu Series C Preferred shares outstanding
converted into 691,832 shares of our common stock.
On
April 4, 2019, Aytu entered into a 36-month extension of our
operating lease for the Englewood, Colorado office space. The base
rent will be at $10,000 per month.
On
April 18, 2019, pursuant to the exchange agreement between Aytu and
Armistice, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company on
April 12, 2019, Aytu exchanged the Armistice Note into: (1)
3,120,064 shares of common stock of the Company, (2) 2,751,148
shares of Series E Convertible preferred stock of the Company, and
(3) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 4,403,409
shares of common stock of the Company.
On May
1, 2019, Aytu entered into an Independent Contractor Services
Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Averaden, LLC (the
“Contractor”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the
Contractor agreed to perform certain consulting services with
respect to corporate business development activities for the
Company. In return, the Company has agreed to pay the Contractor
$8,400 per month, which amount shall not exceed $110,000 in
aggregate. The Agreement will terminate on May 15, 2020. Gary
Cantrell, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a
Principal of the Contractor.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with Aytu BioScience,
Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2018, filed on September 6, 2018. The following discussion and
analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. For additional
information regarding these risks and uncertainties, please see the
risk factors included in Aytu’s Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6,
2018.
Overview, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Aytu is
a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel
products that address significant patient needs such as
hypogonadism (low
testosterone), cough and upper respiratory symptoms,
insomnia, and male infertility and plans to expand
opportunistically into other therapeutic areas as the Company
continues to execute on its growth plans.
On
October 9, 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering, with
total gross proceeds of $15.2 million which includes the full
exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to
purchase additional shares and warrants, before deducting
underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses
payable by the Company.
The
securities offered by the Company consisted of (i) an aggregate of
457,007 shares of its common stock, (ii) an aggregate of 8,342,993
shares of its Series C Convertible preferred stock convertible into
an aggregate of 8,342,993 shares of common stock at a conversion
price of $1.50 per share, and (iii) Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 8,800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $1.50 per share. The securities were issued at a public offering
purchase price of $1.50 per fixed unit of (a) one share of common
stock and one warrant or (b) one share of Series C preferred stock
and one warrant. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance and
will expire five years from the date of issuance. The conversion
price of the Series C preferred stock in the offering as well as
the exercise price of the warrants are fixed and do not contain any
variable pricing features, or any price based anti-dilution
features.
In
connection with this offering, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 1,320,000
shares of common stock and 1,320,000 Warrants.
During
fiscal 2019, the Board of Directors of Aytu expanded the size of
the Board of Directors by two seats. On November 30, 2018, the
Board of Directors elected Ketan B. Mehta as a director and elected
Steven J. Boyd as a director on April 15, 2019.
Prior
to the date of this quarterly report, we have financed operations
through a combination of private and public debt and equity
financings, funds from the sale of our products, and occasionally
through divestures of non-strategic assets. Our financing
transactions have included private placements of stock and
convertible notes, and public offerings of the Company’s
equity securities. Since the formation of Aytu in June 2015, we
have raised approximately $70.3 million from the sale of its
securities to investors and the exercise of warrants by investors.
Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements,
based upon our current operating plan, as of the date of this
quarterly report, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet
our projected operating requirements for fiscal 2019 and through
May 2020.
We have
incurred accumulated net losses since inception, and at March 31,
2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $91.9 million. Our net loss
was $12.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and we
used $10.4 million in cash from operating activities during the
nine months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we had
cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $14.7 million
and other current assets with an aggregate balance of $3.7 million
available to fund our operations, offset by an aggregate of $2.9
million in accounts payable and others and accrued liabilities. In
October 2018, we raised gross proceeds of $15.2 million in a public
offering, and in November 2018, we raised $5.0 million of debt
which required no cash payment until maturity in November 2022. On
April 18, 2019, the $5.0 million of debt was subsequently converted
to equity without any cash payment (see Note 12).
We are
a relatively young company with substantial revenue growth
expectations as demonstrated by the nearly 33% quarter-over-quarter
net revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and
105% growth in net revenue for the nine months of fiscal 2019 over
nine months period ended March 31, 2018. Our primary activities are
focused on commercializing our approved product portfolio,
including Natesto, Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist, and MiOXSYS, building
our commercial infrastructure, improving patient access, and
improving the effectiveness and reach of our sales
force.
Based
on our recent trend of increasing revenue, and management’s
operating strategy and plans for accelerating revenue growth, we
believe that our sales will continue to grow. We also believe that
our efforts and programs designed to reduce discounting of Natesto
while growing sales will continue to increase net revenue and
therefore reduce the rate of cash use. Our operating expenses
increased slightly as we expected to have several start-up costs
related to the launch of Tuzistra XR as well as the expected cost
of expanding our sales team in the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
With these assumptions and the additional capital we raised in
October and November, we believe that we have sufficient cash
resources to fund operations through May 2020, after which time we
could require additional new capital if our revenue does not
continue to grow as we have projected. If, in the judgment of
management, capital becomes available on terms that we consider to
be in the best interest of the Company, we may seek to raise
additional capital even if the need for additional capital is not
imminent. However, we can provide no assurance that our revenues
will increase as anticipated or that additional funding will be
available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we cannot
raise adequate additional capital in the future, if and when we
require it, we could be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or
eliminate one or more of our commercialization efforts, or our
development program. We may also be required to relinquish some or
all rights to product candidates at less favorable terms than we
would otherwise choose. This may lead to impairment or other
charges, which could materially affect our balance sheet and
operating results.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing
basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including
those related to recoverability and useful lives of long-lived
assets, stock compensation, valuation of derivative instruments,
allowances, contingencies and going concern. Management bases its
estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various
other factors the Company believes to be 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. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in
applying these critical accounting policies have a significant
impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial
statements. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on September 6,
2018.
Information
regarding our accounting policies and estimates can be found in the
Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Information
regarding the recently issued accounting standards (adopted and
pending adoption as of March 31, 2019) is combined in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations – Three and nine months ended March 31,
2019 compared to March 31, 2018
Results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the
three months ended March 31, 2018 reflected losses of approximately
$4.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively. These losses include,
in part, non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation,
depreciation, amortization and accretion, issuance of restricted
stock, and derivative income in the amount of $1.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2019 and $2.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The non-cash charges
decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to
a decrease in depreciation, amortization and accretion, and the
issuance of restricted stock.
Results
of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and the nine
months ended March 31, 2018 reflected losses of approximately $12.6
million and $10.7 million, respectively. These losses include, in
part, non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation,
depreciation, amortization and accretion, issuance of restricted
stock, and derivative income in the amount of $2.6 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2019 and $1.3 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The non-cash charges
increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to
the reduction in warrant derivative income.
Revenue
Product revenue
We
recognized net revenue from product sales of $2.4 million and
$607,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. We recognized net revenue from product sales of $5.6
million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019
and 2018, respectively. Our product portfolio includes Natesto,
Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist, and the MiOXSYS and RedoxSYS Systems, with
the majority of our revenue due to the sales of
Natesto.
As is
customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales
are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net
product sales. Over the past four quarters, we have taken steps to
improve our net revenue, which have resulted in substantial
increases in net revenue as indicated in the table below.
Provisions for deductions from gross revenue are recorded
concurrently with the recognition of gross product revenue and
include coupons, discounts, chargebacks, distributor fees,
processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government
rebates. Provision deductions relating to estimated amounts payable
to direct customers are netted against accounts receivable and
balances relating to indirect customers are included in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. The provisions recorded to reduce
gross product sales to net product sales are as

License
revenue
We
recognized net license revenue of $6,000 and $0 for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively. This
revenue represents the payment received from the Company’s
ZolpiMist sublicensing agreement with SUDA Pharmaceuticals. Aytu
assumed the SUDA Pharmaceuticals sublicensing agreement for
ZolpiMist outside of the United States and Canada. This licensing
agreement calls for SUDA to lead commercial development and
sublicensing efforts for ZolpiMist in major territories outside the
United States and Canada, including Europe, Asia, and Latin
America. SUDA has already signed sublicensing agreements in key
markets with large, multi-national pharmaceutical companies and has
agreements in place in China, Chile, Brazil, and throughout
Southeast Asia.
Expenses
Cost of Sales
Cost of
sales was $617,000 and $1.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.8
million was recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively. The current cost of sales is related to
Natesto, Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist, and the MiOXSYS and RedoxSYS
Systems. The decrease in cost of sales for the three months ending
March 31, 2019 was due to the impairment of inventory related to a
discontinued product in March 2018. We expect cost of sales to
increase in the future due to and in line with growth in revenue
from product sales.
Research and Development
Research
and development costs consist of clinical trials and sponsored
research which includes manufacturing development, and consultants
and other. These costs relate solely to research and development
without an allocation of general and administrative expenses and
are summarized as follows:
|
Three Months Ended

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and
2018
Research
and development expenses decreased $5,000, or 4.4%, for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018. Research and development expenses increased
$436,000, or 1,981.8%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019
compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was
due primarily to the absence of a reversal of a previously accrued liability, which was present
in December of 2017. We anticipate research and development
expense to increase in fiscal 2019 as we anticipate funding a study
to further support the clinical application of our MiOXSYS System,
and to fund further clinical studies for Natesto to potentially
support new claims and/or to comply with FDA post-marketing study
requirements.
Selling,
General and Administrative
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist of labor costs,
including personnel costs for employees in executive, commercial
operations, and administrative functions; stock-based compensation;
patents and intellectual property; professional fees including
legal, auditing, accounting, investor relations, shareholder
expense and printing and filing of SEC reports; occupancy, travel
and other expenses including rent, governmental and regulatory
compliance, insurance, and professional subscriptions; directors
fees; impairment expenses; and sales & marketing –
related party, which includes payments to TCI for the Company
sponsored co-pay program. These costs are summarized as

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and
2018
Selling,
general and administrative costs increased $738,000, or 15.9%, for
the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2018. Selling, general and administrative costs
increased $534,000, or 3.9%, for the nine months ended March 31,
2019, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The primary
increase was due to labor and occupancy, travel and other costs
related to expanding our commercial team, launching Tuzistra XR,
and stock-based on compensation. We expect selling, general and
administrative expenses to increase slightly in the remainder of
fiscal 2019 due to expanding our sales team and launching Tuzistra
XR. The impairment expense of $1,856,000 recognized in the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, represent the
impairment of the Aytu Women’s Health assets in fiscal 2018
based upon sales performance and the manufacturer no longer
supporting the product.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization
of intangible assets was $575,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2019, and $388,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Amortization of intangible assets was $1.6 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 2019, and $1.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2018. This expense increased due to amortization of
the related finite-lived intangible assets. We expect this expense
to remain flat for the remainder of 2019.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
During
the nine months ended March 31, 2019, our operating activities used
$10.4 million in cash, which was less than the reported net loss of
$12.6 million. Our cash use was lower
than our reported net loss due to an increase in accrued
liabilities, accrued compensation expense and interest payable,
along with the recognition of non-cash expenses such as
depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation,
and restricted stock. These were offset by derivative income, an
increase in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and
other.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, our operating
activities used $11.4 million in cash. Our cash use was a result of
an increase in accounts payable and accrued compensation expense,
with the recognition of non-cash expenses such as depreciation,
amortization and accretion, and the expense related to the
impairment of intangible assets. These were offset by derivative
income, other gain, an increase in accounts receivable, inventory
and prepaid expenses, and a decrease in accrued
liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During
the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we used $860,000 of cash for
investing activities to purchase fixed and operating assets, paid
$109,000 in contingent consideration, and received a $3,000 refund
of our deposit for office space.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we used $75,000 in
investing activities to purchase fixed assets and we made our first
revenue share payment to a discontinued product during the March
31,2018 quarter which was approximately $7,400.
Net Cash from Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended
March 31, 2019 was $19.0 million. This was primarily related to the
October 2018 public offering of $15.2 million, offset by the
offering cost of $1.5 million which was paid in cash. In addition,
we received proceeds of $5 million from the Note. We also received
proceeds of $259,000 from warrant exercises.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended
March 31, 2018 of $22.7 million was primarily related to the August
2017 Offering of $11.8 million, offset by the cash offering cost of
$1.4 million (which was paid in cash), the March 2018 Offering of
$12.9 million, offset by the cash offering cost of $1.3 million
(which was paid in cash) and the aggregate proceeds of $0.7 million
from warrants exercises.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do
not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also
known as “variable interest entities.”
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Information
regarding our Contractual Obligations and Commitments is contained
in Note 7 to the Financial Statements.
Item
3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are
not currently exposed to material market risk arising from
financial instruments, changes in interest rates or commodity
prices, or fluctuations in foreign currencies. We have not
identified a need to hedge against any of the foregoing risks and
therefore currently engages in no hedging activities.
Item 4. Controls
and Procedures.
As of
the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the
participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange
Act. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and are
operating in an effective manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This
Employment Agreement (the "Agreement"), is effective as of April
16, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between Aytu
BioScience, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered at 373
Inverness Parkway, Suite 206, Englewood, CO 80112 USA, hereinafter
referred to as the "Company"), and Joshua R. Disbrow
(“Employee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company is a duly organized
Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business within
the State of Colorado, and is in the business of developing and
marketing pharmaceutical products; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires assurance
of the continued association and services of the Employee in order
to continue to retain the Employee’s experience, skills,
abilities, background and knowledge, and is willing to continue to
engage the Employee’s services on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Employee desires to be in the
continued employ of the Company, and is willing to accept such
continued employment on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as follows:
1. Employment for Term. The Company hereby agrees to employ
Employee and Employee hereby accepts such employment with the
Company for the period of 24 months beginning on the Effective
Date. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall continue until
the termination of Employee's employment in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. The termination of Employee's
employment under this Agreement shall end the Term but shall not
terminate Employee's or the Company's other obligations that are
intended to survive the termination of this Agreement (including
without limitation, the payments under Section 7 and 8 and
Employee’s obligations under Section 9).
2. Position and Duties. During the Term, Employee shall
serve as Chairman of the Board (Chairman) and Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) of the Company, and perform such duties as are
consistent with this position. The Employee shall report to the
Board of Directors of the Company. During the Term, Employee shall
also hold such additional positions and titles as the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") may determine from time to
time. During the Term, Employee shall devote as much time as is
necessary to satisfactorily perform his duties as CEO of the
Company. Employee may engage in any civic and not-for-profit
activities so long as such activities do not materially interfere
with the performance of his duties hereunder or present a conflict
of interest with the Company During the Term of this Agreement,
Employee agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly
or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by the
Employee to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business
or prospects, its financial position, or otherwise or in any
company, person or entity that is, directly or indirectly, in
competition with the business of the Company or any of its
affiliates. This provision shall encompass any advisory boards of
which Employee is or becomes a member of during the term hereof.
Employee shall provide written disclosure to the Compensation
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as to all
advisory boards on which Employee sits, and will provide the
Company with written notice within 10 business days of Employee
agreeing to sit on any additional advisory boards. On termination
of Employee’s employment, regardless of the reason for such
termination, Employee shall immediately (and with contemporaneous
effect) resign any directorships, offices or other positions that
Employee may hold in the Company or any affiliate, unless otherwise
agreed in writing by the parties.
3. Compensation.
(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay
Employee a base salary of $330,000 per annum, payable at least
monthly on the Company's regular pay cycle for professional
employees (the “Base Salary”). Except as specifically
otherwise provided herein, the Base Salary may be increased only by
recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board and
ratified by the Compensation Committee or a majority of the
independent members of the Board.
(b) Annual Review. The Base Salary shall
be reviewed at the end of each fiscal year (the first such review
to occur at the end of fiscal year 2020).
(c) Equity Compensation. In connection
with the execution of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to
grant on or promptly after August 1, 2019 equity compensation to
Employee in the form of options to purchase shares of Company
Common Stock. These options shall vest in accordance with the terms
and schedule set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Such vesting schedule
will be accelerated, to the extent provided in Section 8 of this
agreement. Equity grants will be made annually during the Term of
this Agreement in the amount approved by the Compensation Committee
and commensurate with the performance level of the
Employee.
(d) Other and Additional Compensation.
Subsections (a) and (c) above establish Employee’s
compensation during the Term which shall not preclude the Board
from awarding Employee a higher salary or any bonuses or stock
options, restricted stock or other forms of additional equity
awards in the discretion of the Board during the Term at any time.
The Employee shall be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus
(hereinafter referred to as the “Bonus”) with a target
amount of one hundred and twenty five percent (125%) of the
Base Salary, subject to
standard deductions and withholdings, based on the Compensation
Committee’s determination, in good faith, and based upon the
Employee’s individual achievement and company performance
objectives as set by the Board or the Compensation Committee, of
whether the Employee has met such performance milestones as are
established for the Employee by the Board or the Compensation
Committee, in good faith, in consultation with the Employee
(hereinafter referred to as the “Performance
Milestones”). The Performance Milestones will be based on
certain factors including, but not limited to, the Employee’s
performance and the Company’s financial and operational
performance. The Employee’s Bonus target will be reviewed
annually and may be adjusted by the Board or the Compensation
Committee in its discretion, provided however, that the Bonus
target may only be reduced upon Employee’s written consent.
The Employee must be employed on the date the Bonus is awarded to
be eligible for the Bonus, subject to the termination provisions
hereof. Bonuses shall be paid during the calendar quarter following
the calendar quarter for which such Bonus was earned when
Performance Milestones are met during a calendar quarter. Fourth
quarter Bonuses and Bonuses calculated on the basis of partial
Performance Milestone satisfaction shall be paid within 75 days of
fiscal year-end.
4. Employee Benefits. During the Term, Employee shall be
entitled to participate at the same level as other senior executive
officers of the Company in any group insurance, hospitalization,
medical, health and accident, disability, fringe benefit and
tax-qualified retirement plans or programs of the Company now
existing or hereafter established to the extent that he is eligible
under the general provisions thereof. For the term of this
Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to paid time off at the rate
of (5) weeks per annum. In accordance with Company policy, unused
paid time off may not be carried over from year to
year.
5. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for
actual, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the
performance of his services for the Company upon the receipt of
appropriate documentation of such expenses which shall be submitted
in such form, and with such supporting documentation, as called for
or required by Company policy.
6. Termination.
(a) General. The Term shall end
immediately upon Employee's death. Employee’s employment may
also be terminated by the Company with or without Cause or as a
result of Employee’s Disability, as defined in Section 7 or
by Employee with or without Good Reason (as such terms are defined
below).
(b) Notice of Termination. Either party
shall give written notice of termination to the other
party.
(c) Notification of New Employer. In the
event that Employee leaves the employ of the Company, Employee
grants consent to notification by the Company to Employee’s
new employer about his rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the PIA (hereinafter defined).
7. Severance Benefits.
(a) Cause Defined. "Cause" means (i)
willful malfeasance or willful misconduct by Employee in connection
with his employment; (ii) Employee's gross negligence in performing
any of his duties under this Agreement; (iii) Employee's conviction
of, or entry of a plea of guilty to, or entry of a plea of
nolo contendere with
respect to, any crime other than a traffic violation or infraction
which is a misdemeanor; (iv) Employee’s willful and
deliberate violation of a Company policy, (v) Employee's unintended
but material breach of any written policy applicable to all
employees adopted by the Company which is not cured to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors within thirty
(30) business days after notice thereof; (vi) the Employee’s
unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or
trade secrets of the Company or any other party as to which the
Employee owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the
Employee’s relationship with the Company, (vii) the
Employee’s willful and deliberate breach of his obligations
under this Agreement, or (viii) any other material breach by
Employee of any of his obligations in this Agreement which is not
cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors
within thirty (30) business days after notice thereof.
(b) Disability Defined. "Disability"
shall mean (i) Employee's incapacity due to a physical or mental
condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law,
after any reasonable accommodation, that results in Employee being
substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for six
consecutive months (or for six months out of any nine month period)
or (ii) a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to
the Company and Employee determines that Employee is incapacitated
due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable
accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable
accommodation so as to be unable to regularly perform the duties of
his position and such condition is expected to be of a permanent or
near-permanent duration. Until such time as Employee is terminated
for Disability under this paragraph (b), Employee shall continue to
receive his Base Salary hereunder, provided that if the Company
provides Employee with disability insurance coverage, payments of
Employee's Base Salary shall be reduced by the amount of any
disability insurance payments received by Employee due to such
coverage. The Company shall give Employee written notice of
termination due to Disability which shall take effect sixty (60)
days after the date it is sent to Employee unless Employee shall
have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder during
such sixty (60) day period (whereupon such notice shall become
void). In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s
employment as a result of his Disability, Employee shall be
entitled to the same benefits as if his employment had been
terminated by the Company without Cause.
(c) Good Reason Defined. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean,
without Employee’s written consent: (i) there is a material
reduction of the level of Employee’s compensation (excluding
any bonuses) (except where there is a general reduction applicable
to the management team generally, provided, however, that in no
case may the Base Salary be reduced below the amount stated in
Section 3(a)), (ii) there is a material reduction in
Employee’s overall responsibilities or authority, or scope of
duties (it being understood that the occurrence of a Change in
Control shall not, by itself, necessarily constitute a reduction in
Employee’s responsibilities or authority); or (iii) there is
a material change in the principal geographic location at which
Employee must perform his services (it being understood that the
relocation of Employee to a facility or a location within forty
(40) miles of the State Capitol Building in Denver, Colorado shall
not be deemed material for purposes of this Agreement). No event
shall be deemed to be “Good Reason” if the Company has
cured the event (if susceptible to cure) within 30 days of receipt
of written notice from Employee specifying the event or events
which, absent cure, would constitute “Good
Cause.”
(d) Accrued Compensation Defined.
Accrued Compensation shall mean an amount which shall include all
amounts earned or accrued by Employee through the date of
termination of this Agreement but not paid as of such date,
including (i) Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for business expenses
incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Company, pursuant to the
Company’s expense reimbursement policy in effect at such
time, (iii) any expense allowance pursuant to Company policy, (iv)
accrued but unused vacation pay per Company policy, and (v) bonuses
and incentive compensation earned and awarded prior to the date of
termination. Accrued Compensation shall be paid on the first
regular pay date after the date of termination (or earlier, if
required by applicable law).
(e)
Termination.
(i) Cause; Without Good Reason; Death;
Disability. If the Company ends the Term for Cause, if
Employee resigns as an employee of the Company for reasons other
than an event of Good Reason, the Employee dies or Disability
occurs , then the Company shall pay to Employee the Accrued
Compensation but shall have no obligation to pay Employee any
amount, whether for salary, benefits, bonuses, or other
compensation or expense reimbursements of any kind, accruing after
the end of the Term, and such rights shall, except as otherwise
required by law or pursuant to the applicable award agreement or
plan, be forfeited immediately upon the end of the Term. For the
sake of clarity, any stock options, restricted stock or other
equity compensation shall, to the extent vested on the date of
resignation without Good Reason, the date the Company ends the Term
for Cause, or the date of Employee’s death, remain
outstanding and exercisable to the extent provided in the
applicable award agreement or plan, by the Employee or his personal
representative or executor.
(ii) Without Cause; Good Reason. In the
event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment
hereunder without Cause, or the Employee terminates his employment
with Good Reason, he shall be entitled to the Accrued Compensation
and, subject to Section 21 and 22 below,
(A) A lump sum payment equal to two
times his Base Salary in effect at the date of termination, less
applicable withholding
(B)
Continued participation (via state or federal insurance
continuation laws such as COBRA, to the extent available) in the
health and welfare plans (or comparable plans, if continued
participation in the Company’s plans is not available)
provided by the Company to Employee at the time of termination for
a period of two years from the date of termination or, if earlier,
until he is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent
employer. The Company agrees to reimburse the payments Employee
makes for such coverage, whether via continuation or separate
comparable policy. Premium reimbursements shall be made by the
Company to Employee consistent with the Company’s normal
expense reimbursement policy, provided that Employee submits
documentation to the Company substantiating his payments for
insurance coverage. Employee shall give the Company prompt notice
of his eligibility for comparable coverage.
(C) All
vested stock options shall remain exercisable from the date of
termination until the expiration date of the applicable
award. So
long as the Section 8 below does not apply, then all
options which are unvested at the date of termination Without Cause
or for Good Reason shall be accelerated as of the date of
termination such that the number
of option shares equal to 1/24th the number of
option shares multiplied by the number of full months of
Employee’s employment hereunder shall be deemed vested and
immediately exercisable by the Employee. Any unvested options over
and above the foregoing shall be cancelled and of no further force
or effect, and shall not be exercisable by the
Employee.
(D) Any
severance payments and/or other separation benefits contemplated by
this Agreement are conditional on Employee: (i) continuing to
comply with the terms of this Agreement and the PIA (as defined
herein); (ii) delivering prior to or contemporaneously with any
such severance payments, and not revoking, (x) a customary general
release of claims relating to Employee’s employment and/or
this Agreement against the Company or its successor, its
subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and
stockholders and (y) a customary affirmation of Employee’s
continuing obligations hereunder and under the PIA.
Unless
otherwise required by law, no severance payments and/or benefits
under this Agreement will be paid and/or provided until after the
expiration of any relevant revocation period. Subject to the
effectiveness of the release, the severance payments shall be paid
on the first payroll date that begins 30 days after
Employee’s termination of employment.
8. Change in Control Payments. The provisions of this
paragraph 8 set forth the terms of an agreement reached between
Employee and the Company regarding Employee's rights and
obligations upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company during the Term. These
provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance
Employee's continued attention and dedication to his assigned
duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the
occurrence of any such Change in Control. The following provisions
shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, in addition to any
payment or benefit that may be required pursuant to Section
7.
(a) Equity. Upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control, all stock options, restricted stock and other
stock-based grants to Employee by the Company or that may be
granted in the future shall, irrespective of any provisions of his
award agreements, immediately and irrevocably vest and become
exercisable and any restrictions thereon shall lapse. All stock
options shall remain exercisable from the date of the Change in
Control until the expiration of the term of such stock
options.
(b) Definitions. For purposes of this
paragraph 8, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
"Change
in Control" shall mean any of the following:
(1) the
acquisition by any individual, entity, or group (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (the
"Acquiring Person"), other than the Company, or any of its
Subsidiaries, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3- promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the
combined voting power or economic interests of the then outstanding
voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (excluding any issuance of securities by the
Company in a transaction or series of
transactions made principally for bona fide equity financing
purposes; or
(2) the
acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any
transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company
is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition,
reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any issuance
of securities by the Company in a transaction or series of transactions made
principally for bona fide equity financing purposes) other
than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the
holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior to such transaction or series of related
transactions retain, immediately after such transaction or series
of related transactions, as a result of shares in the Company held
by such holders prior to such transaction or series of related
transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power
represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or
such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such
other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary
immediately following such acquisition, its parent);
or
(3) the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company in one transaction or series of related
transactions.
9. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a
condition of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee
agrees to sign the Company’s standard form of Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement
(“PIA”).
10. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Employee. This Agreement is a
personal contract, and the rights and interests that the Agreement
accords to Employee may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated by him. All rights and
benefits of Employee shall be for the sole personal benefit of
Employee, and no other person shall acquire any right, title or
interest under this Agreement by reason of any sale, assignment,
transfer, claim or judgment or bankruptcy proceedings against
Employee. Except as so provided, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon Employee and his personal
representatives, distributees and legatees.
(b) The Company. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the Company and inure to the benefit of the Company
and of its successors and assigns, including (but not limited to)
any Company that may acquire all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or business or into or with which the Company may
be consolidated or merged. Any such successor of the Company will
be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this
Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose,
“successor” means any person, firm, corporation or
other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase,
merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or
substantially all of the assets or business of the
Company.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the
equity award agreements referred to herein) represents the entire
agreement between the parties concerning Employee's employment with
the Company and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions,
understanding and agreements, whether written or oral, between
Employee and the Company relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
12. Amendment or Modification, Waiver. No provision of this
Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver
is agreed to in writing signed by Employee and by a duly authorized
officer of the Company. No waiver by any party to this Agreement or
any breach by another party of any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the
same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.
13. Notices. Any notice to be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by overnight
courier or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, addressed to the party concerned at the address
indicated below, or to such other address of which such party
subsequently may give notice in writing:
If to
Employee:

|
Any
notice delivered personally or by overnight courier shall be deemed
given on the date delivered and any notice sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, shall be
deemed given on the date mailed.
14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application of any such provision to any party or circumstances
shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or
arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below to be invalid and
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the
application of such provision to such person or circumstances other
than those to which it is so determined to be invalid and
unenforceable shall not be affected, and each provision of this
Agreement shall be validated and shall be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this
Agreement containing restrictions is held to cover an area or to be
for a length of time that is unreasonable or in any other way is
construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision
shall not be determined to be entirely null, void and of no effect;
instead, it is the intention and desire of both the Company and
Employee that, to the extent that the provision is or would be
valid or enforceable under applicable law, any court of competent
jurisdiction or arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below
shall construe and interpret or reform this Agreement to provide
for a restriction having the maximum enforceable area, time period
and such other constraints or conditions (although not greater than
those contained currently contained in this Agreement) as shall be
valid and enforceable under the applicable law.
15. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of
such rights and obligations.
16. Headings. All descriptive headings of sections and
paragraphs in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of
reference, and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by
reference to the heading of any section or paragraph.
17. Withholding Taxes. All salary, benefits, reimbursements
and any other payments to Employee under this Agreement shall be
subject to all applicable payroll and withholding taxes and
deductions required by any law, rule or regulation of and federal,
state or local authority.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
but all of which together constitute one and same instrument. The
parties agree that facsimile signatures shall have the same force
and effect as original signatures.
19. Applicable Law; Arbitration. The validity,
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and any amendments
or modifications hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Colorado, as applied to a contract executed within and to be
performed in such State. The parties agree that any disputes shall
be definitively resolved by binding arbitration before the American
Arbitration Association in Denver, Colorado in accordance with its
rules of arbitration procedure then in effect. The parties consent
to the jurisdiction to the federal courts of the District of
Colorado or, if there shall be no jurisdiction, to the state courts
located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, to enforce any arbitration
award rendered with respect thereto. Each party shall choose one
arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator.
All costs and fees related to such arbitration (and judicial
enforcement proceedings, if any) shall be borne by the Company
unless Employee’s claim is deemed to be frivolous by the
arbitrator(s) or judge.
20. Legal Fees. The Company shall pay the reasonable
expenses of Employee’s counsel in negotiating this
Agreement.
21. Section 409A.
(a)
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at
the time of Employee’s separation from service within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), the Company determines that
Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any
payment or benefit that Employee becomes entitled to under this
Agreement on account of Employee’s separation from service
would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the
20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of
the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit
shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six
months and one day after Employee’s separation from service,
or (B) Employee’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is
otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall
include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise
have been paid during the six-month period but for the application
of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be
payable in accordance with their original schedule.
(b) All
in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement
under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred
by Employee during the time periods set forth in this Agreement.
All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively
practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after
the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in
which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits
provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year
shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year
(except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable
to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind
benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.
(c) To
the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement
constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or
benefit is payable upon Employee’s termination of employment,
then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon
Employee’s “separation from service.” The
determination of whether and when a separation from service has
occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set
forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 1(h).
(d) The
parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with
Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a
manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of
the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to
constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A 2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may
be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be
necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all
related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and
benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either
party.
22. Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G.
If any payment or benefit Employee would receive pursuant to a
Change in Control from the Company or otherwise
(“Payment”)
would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for
this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment
shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced
Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the
Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being
subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to
and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after
taking into account all applicable federal, state and local
employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at
the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s
receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit
notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be
subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits
constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that
the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the
manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for Employee.
If more than one method of reduction will result in the same
economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro
rata.
In the
event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service
that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant to
clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise
Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient
amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is
subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the
Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the
preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any
portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
Unless
Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm,
the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax
compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of
the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If
the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as
accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting
the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally
recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required
hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the
determinations by such accounting firm required to be made
hereunder.
The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to
provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting
documentation, to the Employee and the Company within fifteen
(15) calendar days after the date on which Employee’s
right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the
Employee or the Company) or such other time as requested by
Employee or the Company.
23.
Indemnification. As a condition to the
effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company and Employee shall
enter into a mutually acceptable indemnification
agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Agreement as of the date first written above.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This
Employment Agreement (the "Agreement"), is effective as of April
16, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between Aytu
BioScience, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered at 373
Inverness Parkway, Suite 206, Englewood, CO 80112 USA, hereinafter
referred to as the "Company"), and Jarrett T. Disbrow
(“Employee").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company is a duly organized
Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business within
the State of Colorado, and is in the business of developing and
marketing pharmaceutical products; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires assurance
of the continued association and services of the Employee in order
to continue to retain the Employee’s experience, skills,
abilities, background and knowledge, and is willing to continue to
engage the Employee’s services on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Employee desires to be in the
continued employ of the Company, and is willing to accept such
continued employment on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement as follows:
1. Employment for Term. The Company hereby agrees to employ
Employee and Employee hereby accepts such employment with the
Company for the period of 24 months beginning on the Effective
Date. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall continue until
the termination of Employee's employment in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. The termination of Employee's
employment under this Agreement shall end the Term but shall not
terminate Employee's or the Company's other obligations that are
intended to survive the termination of this Agreement (including
without limitation, the payments under Section 7 and 8 and
Employee’s obligations under Section 9).
2. Position and Duties. During the Term, Employee shall
serve as Chairman of the Board (Chairman) and Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) of the Company, and perform such duties as are
consistent with this position. The Employee shall report to the
Board of Directors of the Company. During the Term, Employee shall
also hold such additional positions and titles as the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board") may determine from time to
time. During the Term, Employee shall devote as much time as is
necessary to satisfactorily perform his duties as CEO of the
Company. Employee may engage in any civic and not-for-profit
activities so long as such activities do not materially interfere
with the performance of his duties hereunder or present a conflict
of interest with the Company During the Term of this Agreement,
Employee agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly
or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by the
Employee to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business
or prospects, its financial position, or otherwise or in any
company, person or entity that is, directly or indirectly, in
competition with the business of the Company or any of its
affiliates. This provision shall encompass any advisory boards of
which Employee is or becomes a member of during the term hereof.
Employee shall provide written disclosure to the Compensation
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as to all
advisory boards on which Employee sits, and will provide the
Company with written notice within 10 business days of Employee
agreeing to sit on any additional advisory boards. On termination
of Employee’s employment, regardless of the reason for such
termination, Employee shall immediately (and with contemporaneous
effect) resign any directorships, offices or other positions that
Employee may hold in the Company or any affiliate, unless otherwise
agreed in writing by the parties.
3. Compensation.
(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay
Employee a base salary of $250,000 per annum, payable at least
monthly on the Company's regular pay cycle for professional
employees (the “Base Salary”). Except as specifically
otherwise provided herein, the Base Salary may be increased only by
recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board and
ratified by the Compensation Committee or a majority of the
independent members of the Board.
(b) Annual Review. The Base Salary shall
be reviewed at the end of each fiscal year (the first such review
to occur at the end of fiscal year 2020).
(c) Equity Compensation. In connection
with the execution of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to
grant on or promptly after August 1, 2019 equity compensation to
Employee in the form of restricted stock or options to purchase
shares of Company Common Stock, at the discretion of the
Compensation Committee. In the event of issuance of options, these
options shall vest in accordance with the terms and schedule set
forth in Exhibit A hereto. Such vesting schedule will be
accelerated, to the extent provided in Section 8 of this agreement.
Equity grants will be made annually during the Term of this
Agreement in the amount approved by the Compensation Committee and
commensurate with the performance level of the
Employee.
(d) Other and Additional Compensation.
Subsections (a) and (c) above establish Employee’s
compensation during the Term which shall not preclude the Board
from awarding Employee a higher salary or any bonuses or stock
options, restricted stock or other forms of additional equity
awards in the discretion of the Board during the Term at any time.
The Employee shall be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus
(hereinafter referred to as the “Bonus”) with a target
amount of one hundred and twenty five percent (125%) of the
Base Salary, subject to
standard deductions and withholdings, based on the Compensation
Committee’s determination, in good faith, and based upon the
Employee’s individual achievement and company performance
objectives as set by the Board or the Compensation Committee, of
whether the Employee has met such performance milestones as are
established for the Employee by the Board or the Compensation
Committee, in good faith, in consultation with the Employee
(hereinafter referred to as the “Performance
Milestones”). The Performance Milestones will be based on
certain factors including, but not limited to, the Employee’s
performance and the Company’s financial and operational
performance. The Employee’s Bonus target will be reviewed
annually and may be adjusted by the Board or the Compensation
Committee in its discretion, provided however, that the Bonus
target may only be reduced upon Employee’s written consent.
The Employee must be employed on the date the Bonus is awarded to
be eligible for the Bonus, subject to the termination provisions
hereof. Bonuses shall be paid during the calendar quarter following
the calendar quarter for which such Bonus was earned when
Performance Milestones are met during a calendar quarter. Fourth
quarter Bonuses and Bonuses calculated on the basis of partial
Performance Milestone satisfaction shall be paid within 75 days of
fiscal year-end.
4. Employee Benefits. During the Term, Employee shall be
entitled to participate at the same level as other senior executive
officers of the Company in any group insurance, hospitalization,
medical, health and accident, disability, fringe benefit and
tax-qualified retirement plans or programs of the Company now
existing or hereafter established to the extent that he is eligible
under the general provisions thereof. For the term of this
Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to paid time off at the rate
of (5) weeks per annum. In accordance with Company policy, unused
paid time off may not be carried over from year to
year.
5. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for
actual, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the
performance of his services for the Company upon the receipt of
appropriate documentation of such expenses which shall be submitted
in such form, and with such supporting documentation, as called for
or required by Company policy.
6. Termination.
(a) General. The Term shall end
immediately upon Employee's death. Employee’s employment may
also be terminated by the Company with or without Cause or as a
result of Employee’s Disability, as defined in Section 7 or
by Employee with or without Good Reason (as such terms are defined
below).
(b) Notice of Termination. Either party
shall give written notice of termination to the other
party.
(c) Notification of New Employer. In the
event that Employee leaves the employ of the Company, Employee
grants consent to notification by the Company to Employee’s
new employer about his rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the PIA (hereinafter defined).
7. Severance Benefits.
(a) Cause Defined. "Cause" means (i)
willful malfeasance or willful misconduct by Employee in connection
with his employment; (ii) Employee's gross negligence in performing
any of his duties under this Agreement; (iii) Employee's conviction
of, or entry of a plea of guilty to, or entry of a plea of
nolo contendere with
respect to, any crime other than a traffic violation or infraction
which is a misdemeanor; (iv) Employee’s willful and
deliberate violation of a Company policy, (v) Employee's unintended
but material breach of any written policy applicable to all
employees adopted by the Company which is not cured to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors within thirty
(30) business days after notice thereof; (vi) the Employee’s
unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or
trade secrets of the Company or any other party as to which the
Employee owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the
Employee’s relationship with the Company, (vii) the
Employee’s willful and deliberate breach of his obligations
under this Agreement, or (viii) any other material breach by
Employee of any of his obligations in this Agreement which is not
cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors
within thirty (30) business days after notice thereof.
(b) Disability Defined. "Disability"
shall mean (i) Employee's incapacity due to a physical or mental
condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law,
after any reasonable accommodation, that results in Employee being
substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for six
consecutive months (or for six months out of any nine month period)
or (ii) a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to
the Company and Employee determines that Employee is incapacitated
due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable
accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable
accommodation so as to be unable to regularly perform the duties of
his position and such condition is expected to be of a permanent or
near-permanent duration. Until such time as Employee is terminated
for Disability under this paragraph (b), Employee shall continue to
receive his Base Salary hereunder, provided that if the Company
provides Employee with disability insurance coverage, payments of
Employee's Base Salary shall be reduced by the amount of any
disability insurance payments received by Employee due to such
coverage. The Company shall give Employee written notice of
termination due to Disability which shall take effect sixty (60)
days after the date it is sent to Employee unless Employee shall
have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder during
such sixty (60) day period (whereupon such notice shall become
void). In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s
employment as a result of his Disability, Employee shall be
entitled to the same benefits as if his employment had been
terminated by the Company without Cause.
(c) Good Reason Defined. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean,
without Employee’s written consent: (i) there is a material
reduction of the level of Employee’s compensation (excluding
any bonuses) (except where there is a general reduction applicable
to the management team generally, provided, however, that in no
case may the Base Salary be reduced below the amount stated in
Section 3(a)), (ii) there is a material reduction in
Employee’s overall responsibilities or authority, or scope of
duties (it being understood that the occurrence of a Change in
Control shall not, by itself, necessarily constitute a reduction in
Employee’s responsibilities or authority); or (iii) there is
a material change in the principal geographic location at which
Employee must perform his services (it being understood that the
relocation of Employee to a facility or a location within forty
(40) miles of the State Capitol Building in Denver, Colorado shall
not be deemed material for purposes of this Agreement). No event
shall be deemed to be “Good Reason” if the Company has
cured the event (if susceptible to cure) within 30 days of receipt
of written notice from Employee specifying the event or events
which, absent cure, would constitute “Good
Cause.”
(d) Accrued Compensation Defined.
Accrued Compensation shall mean an amount which shall include all
amounts earned or accrued by Employee through the date of
termination of this Agreement but not paid as of such date,
including (i) Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for business expenses
incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Company, pursuant to the
Company’s expense reimbursement policy in effect at such
time, (iii) any expense allowance pursuant to Company policy, (iv)
accrued but unused vacation pay per Company policy, and (v) bonuses
and incentive compensation earned and awarded prior to the date of
termination. Accrued Compensation shall be paid on the first
regular pay date after the date of termination (or earlier, if
required by applicable law).
(e)
Termination.
(i) Cause; Without Good Reason; Death;
Disability. If the Company ends the Term for Cause, if
Employee resigns as an employee of the Company for reasons other
than an event of Good Reason, the Employee dies or Disability
occurs , then the Company shall pay to Employee the Accrued
Compensation but shall have no obligation to pay Employee any
amount, whether for salary, benefits, bonuses, or other
compensation or expense reimbursements of any kind, accruing after
the end of the Term, and such rights shall, except as otherwise
required by law or pursuant to the applicable award agreement or
plan, be forfeited immediately upon the end of the Term. For the
sake of clarity, any stock options, restricted stock or other
equity compensation shall, to the extent vested on the date of
resignation without Good Reason, the date the Company ends the Term
for Cause, or the date of Employee’s death, remain
outstanding and exercisable to the extent provided in the
applicable award agreement or plan, by the Employee or his personal
representative or executor.
(ii) Without Cause; Good Reason. In the
event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment
hereunder without Cause, or the Employee terminates his employment
with Good Reason, he shall be entitled to the Accrued Compensation
and, subject to Section 21 and 22 below,
(A) A lump sum payment equal to two
times his Base Salary in effect at the date of termination, less
applicable withholding
(B)
Continued participation (via state or federal insurance
continuation laws such as COBRA, to the extent available) in the
health and welfare plans (or comparable plans, if continued
participation in the Company’s plans is not available)
provided by the Company to Employee at the time of termination for
a period of two years from the date of termination or, if earlier,
until he is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent
employer. The Company agrees to reimburse the payments Employee
makes for such coverage, whether via continuation or separate
comparable policy. Premium reimbursements shall be made by the
Company to Employee consistent with the Company’s normal
expense reimbursement policy, provided that Employee submits
documentation to the Company substantiating his payments for
insurance coverage. Employee shall give the Company prompt notice
of his eligibility for comparable coverage.
(C) All
vested stock options shall remain exercisable from the date of
termination until the expiration date of the applicable
award. So
long as the Section 8 below does not apply, then all
options which are unvested at the date of termination Without Cause
or for Good Reason shall be accelerated as of the date of
termination such that the number of option shares equal to
1/24th the
number of option shares multiplied by the number of full months of
Employee’s employment hereunder shall be deemed vested and
immediately exercisable by the Employee. Any unvested options over
and above the foregoing shall be cancelled and of no further force
or effect, and shall not be exercisable by the Employee. Any issued
restricted stock will vest 90 days following the termination
date.
(D) Any
severance payments and/or other separation benefits contemplated by
this Agreement are conditional on Employee: (i) continuing to
comply with the terms of this Agreement and the PIA (as defined
herein); (ii) delivering prior to or contemporaneously with any
such severance payments, and not revoking, (x) a customary general
release of claims relating to Employee’s employment and/or
this Agreement against the Company or its successor, its
subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and
stockholders and (y) a customary affirmation of Employee’s
continuing obligations hereunder and under the PIA.
Unless
otherwise required by law, no severance payments and/or benefits
under this Agreement will be paid and/or provided until after the
expiration of any relevant revocation period. Subject to the
effectiveness of the release, the severance payments shall be paid
on the first payroll date that begins 30 days after
Employee’s termination of employment.
8. Change in Control Payments. The provisions of this
paragraph 8 set forth the terms of an agreement reached between
Employee and the Company regarding Employee's rights and
obligations upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company during the Term. These
provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance
Employee's continued attention and dedication to his assigned
duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the
occurrence of any such Change in Control. The following provisions
shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, in addition to any
payment or benefit that may be required pursuant to Section
7.
(a) Equity. Upon the occurrence of a
Change in Control, all stock options, restricted stock and other
stock-based grants to Employee by the Company or that may be
granted in the future shall, irrespective of any provisions of his
award agreements, immediately and irrevocably vest and become
exercisable and any restrictions thereon shall lapse. All stock
options shall remain exercisable from the date of the Change in
Control until the expiration of the term of such stock
options.
(b) Definitions. For purposes of this
paragraph 8, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
"Change
in Control" shall mean any of the following:
(1) the
acquisition by any individual, entity, or group (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (the
"Acquiring Person"), other than the Company, or any of its
Subsidiaries, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3- promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the
combined voting power or economic interests of the then outstanding
voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (excluding any issuance of securities by the
Company in a transaction or series of
transactions made principally for bona fide equity financing
purposes; or
(2) the
acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any
transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company
is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition,
reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any issuance
of securities by the Company in a transaction or series of transactions made
principally for bona fide equity financing purposes) other
than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the
holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior to such transaction or series of related
transactions retain, immediately after such transaction or series
of related transactions, as a result of shares in the Company held
by such holders prior to such transaction or series of related
transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power
represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or
such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such
other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary
immediately following such acquisition, its parent);
or
(3) the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company in one transaction or series of related
transactions.
9. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a
condition of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee
agrees to sign the Company’s standard form of Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement
(“PIA”).
10. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Employee. This Agreement is a
personal contract, and the rights and interests that the Agreement
accords to Employee may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated by him. All rights and
benefits of Employee shall be for the sole personal benefit of
Employee, and no other person shall acquire any right, title or
interest under this Agreement by reason of any sale, assignment,
transfer, claim or judgment or bankruptcy proceedings against
Employee. Except as so provided, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon Employee and his personal
representatives, distributees and legatees.
(b) The Company. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the Company and inure to the benefit of the Company
and of its successors and assigns, including (but not limited to)
any Company that may acquire all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or business or into or with which the Company may
be consolidated or merged. Any such successor of the Company will
be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this
Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose,
“successor” means any person, firm, corporation or
other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase,
merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or
substantially all of the assets or business of the
Company.
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the
equity award agreements referred to herein) represents the entire
agreement between the parties concerning Employee's employment with
the Company and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions,
understanding and agreements, whether written or oral, between
Employee and the Company relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
12. Amendment or Modification, Waiver. No provision of this
Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver
is agreed to in writing signed by Employee and by a duly authorized
officer of the Company. No waiver by any party to this Agreement or
any breach by another party of any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the
same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.
13. Notices. Any notice to be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by overnight
courier or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, addressed to the party concerned at the address
indicated below, or to such other address of which such party
subsequently may give notice in writing:

Any
notice delivered personally or by overnight courier shall be deemed
given on the date delivered and any notice sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, shall be
deemed given on the date mailed.
14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application of any such provision to any party or circumstances
shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or
arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below to be invalid and
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the
application of such provision to such person or circumstances other
than those to which it is so determined to be invalid and
unenforceable shall not be affected, and each provision of this
Agreement shall be validated and shall be enforced to the fullest
extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this
Agreement containing restrictions is held to cover an area or to be
for a length of time that is unreasonable or in any other way is
construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision
shall not be determined to be entirely null, void and of no effect;
instead, it is the intention and desire of both the Company and
Employee that, to the extent that the provision is or would be
valid or enforceable under applicable law, any court of competent
jurisdiction or arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below
shall construe and interpret or reform this Agreement to provide
for a restriction having the maximum enforceable area, time period
and such other constraints or conditions (although not greater than
those contained currently contained in this Agreement) as shall be
valid and enforceable under the applicable law.
15. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of this
Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of
such rights and obligations.
16. Headings. All descriptive headings of sections and
paragraphs in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of
reference, and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by
reference to the heading of any section or paragraph.
17. Withholding Taxes. All salary, benefits, reimbursements
and any other payments to Employee under this Agreement shall be
subject to all applicable payroll and withholding taxes and
deductions required by any law, rule or regulation of and federal,
state or local authority.
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
but all of which together constitute one and same instrument. The
parties agree that facsimile signatures shall have the same force
and effect as original signatures.
19. Applicable Law; Arbitration. The validity,
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and any amendments
or modifications hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Colorado, as applied to a contract executed within and to be
performed in such State. The parties agree that any disputes shall
be definitively resolved by binding arbitration before the American
Arbitration Association in Denver, Colorado in accordance with its
rules of arbitration procedure then in effect. The parties consent
to the jurisdiction to the federal courts of the District of
Colorado or, if there shall be no jurisdiction, to the state courts
located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, to enforce any arbitration
award rendered with respect thereto. Each party shall choose one
arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator.
All costs and fees related to such arbitration (and judicial
enforcement proceedings, if any) shall be borne by the Company
unless Employee’s claim is deemed to be frivolous by the
arbitrator(s) or judge.
20. Legal Fees. The Company shall pay the reasonable
expenses of Employee’s counsel in negotiating this
Agreement.
21. Section 409A.
(a)
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at
the time of Employee’s separation from service within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), the Company determines that
Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any
payment or benefit that Employee becomes entitled to under this
Agreement on account of Employee’s separation from service
would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the
20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of
the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit
shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six
months and one day after Employee’s separation from service,
or (B) Employee’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is
otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall
include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise
have been paid during the six-month period but for the application
of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be
payable in accordance with their original schedule.
(b) All
in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement
under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred
by Employee during the time periods set forth in this Agreement.
All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively
practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after
the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in
which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits
provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year
shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year
(except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable
to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind
benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.
(c) To
the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement
constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or
benefit is payable upon Employee’s termination of employment,
then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon
Employee’s “separation from service.” The
determination of whether and when a separation from service has
occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set
forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 1(h).
(d) The
parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with
Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a
manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of
the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to
constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A 2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may
be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be
necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all
related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and
benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either
party.
22. Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G.
If any payment or benefit Employee would receive pursuant to a
Change in Control from the Company or otherwise
(“Payment”)
would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for
this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment
shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced
Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the
Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being
subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to
and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after
taking into account all applicable federal, state and local
employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at
the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s
receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit
notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be
subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits
constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that
the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the
manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for Employee.
If more than one method of reduction will result in the same
economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro
rata.
In the
event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service
that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant to
clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise
Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient
amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is
subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the
Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the
preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any
portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
Unless
Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm,
the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax
compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of
the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If
the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as
accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting
the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally
recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required
hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the
determinations by such accounting firm required to be made
hereunder.
The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to
provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting
documentation, to the Employee and the Company within fifteen
(15) calendar days after the date on which Employee’s
right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the
Employee or the Company) or such other time as requested by
Employee or the Company.
23. Indemnification. As a condition to the
effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company and Employee shall
enter into a mutually acceptable indemnification
agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Agreement as of the date first written above.

Exhibit 10.3
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (“Second
Amendment”) is made and entered into as of this 4th day of April, 2019
by and between BETA INVESTORS
GROUP, L.L.C., an Illinois limited liability company
(“Landlord”), as successor in interest to 373
Inverness, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“373
Inverness”) and AYTU
BIOSCIENCE, INC, a Delaware corporation
(“Tenant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, 373
Inverness, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, and Tenant
entered into that certain Office Lease on August 15, 2015,
(“Lease”) for the premises located at 373 Inverness
Parkway, Suite 206, Englewood, Colorado 80112, consisting of 6,579
rentable square feet (the “Premises”), and
WHEREAS, the
parties desire to extend the Term of the Lease for the Premises and
otherwise amend the Lease, all on the following terms and
conditions.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:
1.
Recitals. The recitals set
forth above are incorporated herein by reference.
2.
Lease Term. The Lease Term for
the Premises is hereby extended for a period of thirty-six (36)
months commencing on October 1, 2020 and expiring on September 30,
2023 (the “Second Extended Term”).
3.
Base Rent. The Base Rent for
the Second Extended Term shall be as follows:
Period
|
|
|
|
10/1/20-09/30/21
|
$17.50
|
$9,594.38
|
$115,132.50
|
10/1/21-09/30/22
|
$18.00
|
$9,868.50
|
$118,422.00
|
10/1/22-09/30/23
|
$18.50
|
$10,142.63
|
$121,711.50
|
4.
Right of First Refusal
(“RFR”). Before entering into a new lease on all
or any portion of the Building, and (1) as long as Tenant is not
then in default under the Lease, and (2) the existing tenant in
such available space elects not to renew its lease, Landlord will
notify Tenant of the fair market base rent, rental increases and
other applicable business terms (“Rental Terms”) upon
which it would be willing to lease such available space to Tenant.
Notwithstanding the sentence above, with respect to suite 110,
Landlord has a prior obligation to offer the RFR to the tenant in
suite 100. If the tenant in suite 100 declines to exercise its RFR
then Tenant would have the right to exercise its RFR on Suite
110.
If
within 5 business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice,
Tenant agrees in writing to lease “Additional Space” at
the Rental Terms, Landlord and Tenant will have a period of 30 days
to negotiate a lease for Additional Space after Landlord’s
receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to lease on all the same
terms of this Lease, except for the Rental Terms and tenant
improvements, and other matters dependent upon the size of the
Premises, such as Tenant’s Proportionate Share. If Tenant
does not deliver its notice of intent to lease Additional Space
offered in Landlord’s notice within such 5 business day
period, or if Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a fully
executed lease for Additional Space within such 30 day period, then
this RFR will lapse and be of no further force and effect and
Landlord will have the right to lease Additional Space to a third
party on terms in Landlord’s sole discretion whether or not
such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than those
offered to Tenant. This RFR is personal to Tenant and is not
assignable.
5.
Brokers. Landlord
and Tenant represent to each other that they have not dealt with
any brokers in connection with this Second Amendment. Each party
agrees to indemnify the other against any liability arising from a
breach of the representations contained in this
paragraph.
6.
Miscellaneous.
A. This
Second Amendment sets forth the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have
been no additional oral or written representations or
agreements.
B.
Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions
and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and
effect.
C. In
the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease
and this Second Amendment, the provisions of this Second Amendment
shall govern and control.
D. The
capitalized terms used in the Second Amendment shall have the same
definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such
capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this
Second Amendment.
E. The
foregoing Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of
which when taken together, shall constitute on and the same
document.
F. The
parties executing this Second Amendment hereby represent and
warrant that they have the authority to execute and bind the entity
for which they are executing this Second Amendment in all
respects.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Second
Amendment as of the date first written above.
