  1. Nature of operation

General

Grace Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly known as Acasti Pharma Inc.) (“Acasti Delaware” or “the Company”), is a Delaware corporation that, as further described below, previously existed under the laws of the Province of Québec, Canada (“Acasti Québec”), before changing its jurisdiction on October 1, 2024 to the Province of British Columbia, Canada (“Acasti British Columbia”). On October 7, 2024, Acasti British Columbia changed its jurisdiction to the State of Delaware. Effective October 28, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name to Grace Therapeutics, Inc.

Continuance and Domestication

On October 1, 2024, Acasti Québec changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Province of Québec in Canada to the Province of British Columbia in Canada pursuant to a “continuance” effected in accordance with Chapter XII of the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (the “Continuance”). Subsequently on October 7, 2024, Acasti British Columbia changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Province of British Columbia in Canada to the State of Delaware in the United States of America pursuant to a “continuance” effected in accordance with Section 308 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and a “domestication” (the “Domestication”) under Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL). Both the Continuance and the Domestication were approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on September 30, 2024.

Prior to the Continuance and Domestication, the Company’s Class A common shares, without par value per share (“Common Shares”), were listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under symbol “ACST.” Upon the effectiveness of the Continuance, each outstanding Class A common share of Acasti Québec at the time of the Continuance remained issued and outstanding as a common share, without par value per share, of Acasti British Columbia. Upon effectiveness of the Domestication, each outstanding common share of Acasti British Columbia at the time of the Domestication automatically becameone outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Acasti Delaware. The Company’s common stock continues to be listed for trading on Nasdaq and in connection with its corporate name change to Grace Therapeutics, Inc., commenced trading under the symbol “GRCE” on October 28, 2024.

The Continuance and Domestication will be accounted for as an exchange of equity interest among entities under common control resulting in a change in reporting entity, and will be reflected when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the consummation of the Domestication, which is October 7, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). All assets and liabilities of Acasti British Columbia were assumed by the Company at the Effective Date, resulting in the retention of the historical basis of accounting as if they had always been combined for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Any excess resulting from the automatic conversion of each of the outstanding common share of Acasti British Columbia into one outstanding share of common stock of Acasti Delaware, will be presented as Additional Paid-in Capital in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in each period since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant expenses and continued operating losses for the foreseeable future.

In May 2023, the Company implemented a strategic realignment plan to enhance shareholder value that resulted in the Company engaging a new management team, streamlining its research and development activities, and greatly reducing its workforce. Following the realignment, the Company is a smaller, more focused organization, based in the United States, and concentrated on its development of its lead product candidate GTx-104. Further development of GTx-102 and GTx-101 will occur at such a time when the Company is able to secure additional funding or enters into strategic partnerships for license or sale with third parties.

On September 24, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors. Gross proceeds to the Company from this private placement were approximately $7.5 million, before deducting fees and expenses. The Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,951,371 Common Shares, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,106,853 Common Shares, each at a purchase price of $1.848 per Common Share and accompanying common warrants (the “Common Warrants” and, together with the Pre-funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,536,391 Common Shares. The Company currently uses the net proceeds from the private placement for clinical trial expenses to further the Phase 3 clinical trial for GTx-104, pre-commercial planning, working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations into the second calendar quarter of 2026.

The Company will require additional capital to fund its daily operating needs beyond that time. The Company does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until it successfully completes drug development and obtains regulatory approval, which the Company expects will take a few years and is subject to significant uncertainty. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through public offerings and private placements of its Common Shares, warrants and convertible debt and the proceeds from research tax credits. Until such time that the Company can generate significant revenue from drug product sales, if ever, it will require additional financing, which is expected to be sourced from a combination of public or private equity or debt financing or other non-dilutive sources, which may include fees, milestone payments and royalties from collaborations with third parties. Arrangements with collaborators or others may require the Company to relinquish certain rights related to its technologies or drug product candidates. Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s inability to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company plans to raise additional capital in order to maintain adequate liquidity. Negative results from studies or trials, if any, or depressed prices of the Company’s stock could impact the Company’s ability to raise additional financing. Raising additional equity capital is subject to market conditions that are not within the Company’s control. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, the Company may not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company remains subject to risks similar to other development stage companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including compliance with government regulations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on third-party contractors and consultants and potential product liability, among others. Please refer to the risk factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 21, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies:

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2024, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, the consolidated results of its operations for the three and the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, its statements of shareholders’ equity for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended March 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of March 31, 2024 presented for comparative purposes was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The results for the three and the six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 included in the Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the date of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 included in the Annual Report.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that management may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Estimates and assumptions include the measurement of stock-based compensation, derivative warrant liabilities, accruals for research and development contracts and contract organization agreements, and valuation of intangibles and goodwill. Estimates and assumptions are also involved in determining the extent to which research and development expenses qualify for research and development tax credits. The Company recognizes tax credits once it has reasonable assurance that they will be realized.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period reporting classifications.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has considered recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to the Company’s business or that the effect is not expected to be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

  1. Shareholders’ Equity

Private Placement

In September 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors in connection with a private placement of the Company’s securities (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to offer and sell 1,951,371 Common Shares, at a purchase price of $1.848 per Common Share and Pre-funded Warrants to purchase up to 2,106,853 Common Shares at a purchase price equal to the purchase price per Common Share less $0.0001. Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable forone Common Share at an exercise price of $0.0001 per Common Share, is immediately exercisable, and will expire once exercised in full. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued, to such institutional and accredited investors, Common Warrants to purchase Common Shares exercisable for an aggregate of 2,536,391 Common Shares. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, for each Common Share and each Pre-funded Warrant issued in the Offering, an accompanying five-eighths (0.625) of a Common Warrant was issued to the purchaser thereof. Each whole Common Warrant is exercisable forone Common Share at an exercise price of $3.003 per Common Share, is immediately exercisable, and will expire on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after the date of the acceptance by the FDA of an NDA for the Company’s product candidate GTx-104 or (ii)five years from the date of issuance. The Offering closed on September 25, 2023. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were $7,338, after deducting fees and expenses.

The Offering included the issuance of Common Shares, Pre-funded Warrants, and Common Warrants to related parties Shore Pharma LLC, an entity that was controlled by Vimal Kavuru, the Chair of our Board of Directors, at the time of the Offering and SS Pharma LLC, the beneficial owner of 5.5% of Common Stock outstanding prior to the Offering, resulting in proceeds of $2,500. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the balance of derivative warrant liabilities from these related parties was $868 and $1,453, respectively.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, of the 2,106,853 Pre-funded Warrants,740,480 were exercised into Common Shares.

Warrants

As further discussed above, on September 25, 2023, the Company issued Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 4,643,244 Common Shares in the Offering pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement entered into with certain institutional and accredited investors.

The Common Warrants issued as a part of the Offering are derivative warrant liabilities given the Common Warrants did not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria and that the Common Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Proceeds were allocated amongst Common Shares, Pre-funded Warrants, and Common Warrants by applying the residual method, with fair value of the Common Warrants determined using the Black-Scholes model, resulting in initial derivative warrant liabilities of $1,631 and issuance costs of $45 allocated to Common Warrants. Accordingly, $2,822 and $3,047 of the gross proceeds were allocated to Common Shares and Pre-funded Warrants, respectively, and $78 and $84 of issuance costs were allocated to Common Shares and Pre-funded Warrants, respectively.

The derivative warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting period and the reconciliation of changes in fair value is presented in the following table:

Beginning balance4,359—
Issued during the period—1,631
Change in fair value(1,756)1,826
Ending balance2,6033,457

The fair value of derivative warrant liabilities were determined based on the fair value of the Common Warrants at the issue date and the reporting dates using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions that will expire on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after the date of the acceptance by the FDA of an NDA for the Company’s product candidate GTx-104 or(ii)five years from the date on issuance.

Share price$3.00$3.43
Expected warrant life1.592.03
Dividend yield0%0%
Expected volatility69.14%85.94%

The weighted-average fair values of the Common Warrants were determined to be $1.03 and $1.72 per Common Warrant as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The risk-free interest rate at the issue date and on the reporting date of September 30, 2024 was based on the interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the Common Warrants. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility for the Company.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding Common Warrants to purchase 2,536,391 Common Shares, with an exercise price of $3.003, all of which were classified as derivative warrant liabilities. During the six months ended September 2024,740,480 Pre-funded Warrants were exercised into 740,457 Common Shares. At September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding Pre-funded Warrants to purchase 1,366,373 Common Shares, with an exercise price of $0.0001, all of which were classified within shareholders’ equity.

In connection with the Continuance and the Domestication, the Company continues its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the related Pre-Funded and Common Stock Warrants. Upon effectiveness of the Continuance, each outstanding warrant settleable into Class A common shares of Acasti Québec remained exercisable for or able to be settled into an equivalent number of common shares of Acasti British Columbia for the equivalent exercise price per share (if applicable), without any action by the holder. Upon effectiveness of the Domestication, each outstanding warrant settleable into common shares of Acasti British Columbia remained exercisable for or able to be settled into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of Acasti Delaware for the equivalent exercise price per share (if applicable).

  1. Stock-based compensation

Stock option plan

At September 30, 2024, the Company had in place a stock option plan for directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company (“Stock Option Plan”). As of September 30, 2024, there were 540,595 awards available under the Stock Option Plan for issuance.

The Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase Common Shares. Under the terms of the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of the stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not be lower than the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the close of such market the day preceding the grant. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued upon exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of July 28, 2022. The terms and conditions for acquiring and exercising options are set by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to, among others, the following limitations: the term of the options cannot exceedten years and (i) all options granted to a director will be vested evenly on a monthly basis over a period of at least twelve (12) months, and (ii) all options granted to an employee will be vested evenly on a quarterly basis over a period of at least thirty-six (36) months.

The total number of options issued to any one consultant within any twelve-month period cannot exceed 2% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis). The total number of options issued within any twelve-month period to all directors, employees and/or consultants of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) conducting investor relations services cannot exceed in the aggregate 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis), calculated at the date an option is granted to any such person.

The following table summarizes information about activities within the Stock Option Plan for the six months period ended September 30, 2024:

The weighted-average grant date fair value of awards for options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.52. The fair value of options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, resulting in the following weighted-average assumptions for the options granted:

As of September 30, 2024, there was $513 of total unrecognized compensation cost, related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.31 years.

Equity incentive plan

The Company established an equity incentive plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) for employees, directors, and consultants. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of 1,483,140 restricted share units, performance share units, restricted shares, deferred share units and other stock-based awards, subject to restricted conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors. There wereno such awards outstanding at September 30, 2024, andno stock-based compensation was recognized for the three and the six months ended September 30, 2024.

In connection with the Continuance and the Domestication, the Company continues its obligations under (i) the Stock Option Plan and (ii) the Equity Incentive Plan (together, the “Prior Plans”) and all of the outstanding equity awards under the Prior Plans. Upon effectiveness of the Continuance, each outstanding option, equity awards and restricted share unit settleable into Class A common shares of Acasti Québec remained exercisable for or able to be settled into an equivalent number of common shares of Acasti British Columbia for the equivalent exercise price per share (if applicable), without any action by the holder. Upon effectiveness of the Domestication, each outstanding option, equity awards and restricted share unit settleable into common shares of Acasti British Columbia remained exercisable for or able to be settled into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of Acasti Delaware for the equivalent exercise price per share (if applicable), without any action by the holder.

Following the Effective Date of the 2024 Plan (each as defined in Note 13), no awards shall be made under the Prior Plans. However, shares of common stock reserved under the Prior Plans to settle awards which are made under the Prior Plans prior to the Effective Date may be issued and delivered following the Effective Date to settle such awards.

  1. Loss per share

The Company has generated a net loss for all periods presented. Therefore, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect. All currently outstanding options and warrants could potentially be dilutive in the future.

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

Six months ended
September 30, 2024September 30, 2023
Options outstanding919,923561,365
September 2023 Common Warrants2,536,3912,536,391

Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated based upon the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Common Shares underlying the Pre-funded Warrants are included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

  1. Commitments and contingencies

Research and development contracts and contract research organizations agreements

The Company utilizes contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) for the development and production of clinical materials andcontract research organizations (“CROs”) to perform services related to its clinical trials. Pursuant to the agreements with these CMOs and CROs, the Company has either the right to terminate the agreements without penalties or under certain penalty conditions. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has $398 of commitments to CMOs and $3.9 million of commitments to CROs for the next twelve months.

Raw krill oil supply contract

On October 25, 2019, the Company signed a supply agreement with Aker BioMarine Antarctic AS. (“AKBM”) to purchase raw krill oil product for a committed volume of commercial starting material for CaPre, one of the Company’s former drug candidates, for a total fixed value of $3.1 million based on the value of krill oil at that time. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining balance of commitment amounted to $2.8 million. During the second calendar quarter of 2022, AKBM informed the Company that AKBM believed it had satisfied the terms of the supply agreement as to their obligation to deliver the remaining balance of raw krill oil product, and that the Company was therefore required to accept the remaining product commitment. The Company disagreed with AKBM’s position and believed that AKBM was not entitled to further payment under the supply agreement. Accordingly, no liability was recorded by the Company. The dispute remained unresolved as of both March 31, 2023 and 2022. On October 18, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with AKBM to settle any and all potential claims regarding amounts due under the supply agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in exchange for a release and waiver of claims arising out of the supply agreement by AKBM and any of AKBM’s affiliates, the Company and AKBM agreed to the following: (a) AKBM retained ownership of all raw krill oil product, including amounts previously delivered to the Company, (b) AKBM acquired and took ownership of all production equipment related to the production of CaPre, (c) AKBM acquired and took ownership of all data from research, clinical trials and pre-clinical studies with respect to CaPre, and (d) AKBM acquired and took ownership over all rights, title and interest in and to all intellectual property rights, including all patents and trademarks, related to CaPre owned by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, AKBM acknowledged that the CaPre assets were transferred on an “as is” basis, and in connection therewith the Company disclaimed all representations and warranties in connection with the CaPre assets, including any representations with respect to performance or sufficiency. The value of the raw krill oil previously delivered to the Company, the production equipment, and the intellectual property rights related to CaPre were fully impaired in prior reporting periods and had a carrying value of zero as of March 31, 2023. For the three and the six months ended September 30, 2024, there wasnil and $193, respectively, in expenses recorded by the Company in relation to shipping cost to transport the Company’s production equipment related to the production of CaPre.

Legal proceedings and disputes

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is at times subject to various legal proceedings and disputes. The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal contingencies may be adjusted to reflect any relevant developments. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not estimable, the Company does not accrue legal contingencies. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, management believes that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any incremental liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. No reserves or liabilities have been accrued at September 30, 2024.

  1. Restructuring costs

On May 8, 2023, the Company communicated its decision to terminate a substantial amount of its workforce as part of a plan that intended to align the Company’s organizational and management cost structure to prioritize resources to GTx-104, thereby reducing losses to improve cash flow and extend available cash resources. During the six months ended, September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $1,485 in costs primarily consisting of employee severance costs and legal fees. There wereno restructuring costs incurred during the three and the six months ended September 30, 2024.

  1. Subsequent Events
a.Adoption of Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

In connection with the consummation of the Domestication, on October 7, 2024, the Company adopted a Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

At the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on September 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the Acasti Pharma Inc 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) which became effective on the date of the Domestication. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance-based awards and other equity-based awards to eligible persons as defined under the 2024 Plan. Any of these awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward the holders of such awards for the achievement of performance goals in accordance with the terms of the 2024 Plan. Stock options granted under the 2024 Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, as provided in the 2024 Plan.

The 2024 Plan is administered by a committee designated from time to time, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors. The committee will also be responsible for determining, among others, the key terms of the awards including their grant dates, pricing, basis for fair value determination, vesting terms, restrictions, and terminations.

The 2024 Plan will terminate automaticallyten years after the Effective Date and maybe terminated on any earlier date as provided by the 2024 Plan, provided the incentive stock options may not be granted under the 10th year anniversary of the Board’s adoption of the 2024 Plan.
