On May 1, 2020, we completed our acquisition of Noachis Terra Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation (“Noachis Terra”), dedicated to the development and commercialization of a vaccine candidate to provide specific immunity from the novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), in accordance with the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, and Mr. Joseph Hernandez, the sole shareholder of Noachis Terra. On May 1, 2020, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired from Mr. Hernandez one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Noachis Terra, and Noachis Terra became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Transaction”). For his interest in Noachis Terra, Mr. Hernandez, received the following consideration: (i) cash consideration equal to $1,925,000, of which approximately $500,000 has been applied to extinguish Noachis Terra’s pre-Transaction liabilities (a portion of which were due to Mr. Hernandez); (ii) 9,200,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, the sale of which shares cannot occur until the earlier of (a) the Company’s share price closing above $2.50 per share, (b) the Company’s announcement that it has received funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), or (c) six months from the Transaction’s closing; and (iii) warrants to purchase 9,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which warrants carry an exercise price of $1.25 per share, a five-year term, and may not be exercised until the Company has obtained shareholder approval with respect to the exercisability of the warrants pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSE”) requirements. Following such approval, the warrants may not be exercised until the earlier of (a) notification of BARDA’s willingness to fund development of the TerraCoV2 vaccine product candidate, (b) phase 1 clinical results demonstrating activity, and (c) the first anniversary of the Transaction’s closing.

 

In addition to the above consideration, Mr. Hernandez is entitled to receive contingent consideration based upon the exercise of certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants as follows: (i) twenty percent (20%) of the cash proceeds received by the Company upon exercise of the Company’s warrants carrying an exercise price of $0.75 and $0.90 and (ii) forty-five percent (45%) of the cash proceeds received by the Company upon exercise of the Company’s warrants carrying an exercise price of $1.00, in each case, for so long as the warrants remain outstanding.

 

The Company had 9,583,334 shares attributable to short term Series 1 Warrants subject to expire on the earlier of on the earlier of (1) the eighteen-month anniversary of the date of issuance and (2) twenty-one trading days following our release of top-line data related to its Phase 2 double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of AG013. On April 15, 2020, the Company announced top-line data thereby triggering the earlier expiration of the warrants to May 14, 2020. On May 14, 2020, 9,545,334 of the Company’s short-term Series 1 Warrants expired unexercised (exclusive of 38,000 shares previously exercised). As of May 15, 2020, the Company had a total of 26,155,259 warrants outstanding.

 

In addition, as a result of the expiration of the Company’s $0.75 Series 1 Warrants, Mr. Hernandez did not receive any additional consideration associated therewith as described above.
