Immix Biopharma Inc

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Nature of Business

Immix Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical pharmaceutical company organized as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2014, which is focused on developing cell therapies in AL Amyloidosis and select immune-mediated diseases. In August 2016, the Company established a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Immix Biopharma Australia Pty Ltd. (“IBAPL”), in order to conduct various preclinical and clinical activities for its development candidates. In November 2022, the Company established a majority-owned subsidiary, Nexcella, Inc. (“Nexcella”), its cell therapy division, which subsequently merged into the Company in May 2024, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. To ensure continuity of operations, the Company re-established Nexcella in 2024 as a wholly-owned subsidiary

Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of September 30, 2024, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the Company’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

**Risk and Uncertainties -**The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, contract manufacturers and contract research organizations, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.

Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that the products will receive the necessary approvals, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed, or the Company is unable to maintain approval, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and other third parties.

The Company has expended and plans to continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. The Company may require additional funds to commercialize its products. The Company is unable to entirely fund these efforts with its current financial resources and will need to raise additional funding in the future. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company uses significant judgments when making estimates related to the valuation of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, accrual and prepayment of research and development expenses, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Principles of Consolidation –**The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Immix Biopharma, Inc. and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For previously consolidated entities where the Company owned less than 100% of the subsidiary, the Company recorded net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling parties.

**Segment Reporting -**The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company at the consolidated level using information about its revenues, gross profit, income from operations, and other key financial data. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company asone operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.

Liquidity and Going Concern – These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the initial public offering of its common stock in December 2021, the Company has financed its operations through various equity financing. On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an additional ATM Sales Agreement (the “July Sales Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company, could, from time to time, issue and sell through the Sales Agent shares of the Company’s common stock in sales deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “July ATM Facility”) (see Note 7). Initially, the Company is eligible to sell up to $4,200,000 worth of shares of its common stock as the aggregate market value of the Company’s shares of common stock eligible for sale under the July Sales Agreement is subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 until such time that the Company’s public float equals or exceeds $75.0 million. In the event the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75.0 million, then the one-third limitation on sales set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to the July Sales Agreement.

From July 14, 2023 through February 5, 2024, the Company has sold 328,136 common shares pursuant to the July ATM Facility for net proceeds of $1,091,887, after offering expenses. On February 5, 2024, the Company suspended, and is not offering any shares of its common stock pursuant to, the prospectus supplement dated July 14, 2023, relating to the July Sales Agreement by and between the Company and the Sales Agent. The Company will not make any sales of common stock pursuant to the July Sales Agreement unless and until a new prospectus supplement is filed with the SEC; however, the July Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect.

In February 2024, the Company conducted an underwritten public offering of 5,535,055 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $2.71 per share, for net proceeds of $13,565,760, after underwriter discounts and offering expenses (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company granted the underwriter a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 783,970 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was exercised in full on March 1, 2024, for net proceeds of $1,954,594, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses (see Note 7).

On July 25, 2024, the Company was awarded an $8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to support the clinical development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy NXC-201 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. The award is payable to the Company upon achievement of milestones that are primarily based on patient enrollment in the Company’s clinical trials. Additionally, if CIRM determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company has not complied with the terms and conditions of the grant, CIRM may suspend or permanently cease disbursements. Funds received under this grant may only be used for allowable project costs specifically identified with the CIRM-funded project. Such costs can include, but are not limited to, salary for personnel, itemized supplies, consultants, and itemized clinical study costs. Under the terms of the grant, both CIRM and the Company will co-fund the research project and the amount of the Company’s co-funding requirement is predetermined as a part of the award. The Company signed the grant agreement in November 2024 and expects to begin receiving funds from the grant beginning in November of 2024.

The Company has a history of, and expects to continue to report, negative cash flows from operations and net losses. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2024 will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Concentration of Credit Risk – Periodically, the Company may carry cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000, or the Australian insured limit of AUD 250,000. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company’s cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at fair value.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments –**The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, tax receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

As of September 30, 2024, the Company hadno liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company hadno liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

**Australian Tax Incentive –**IBAPL is eligible to receive a cash refund from the Australian Taxation Office for eligible research and development (“R&D”) expenditures under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive Program (the “Australian Tax Incentive”). The Australian Tax Incentive is recognized as a reduction to R&D expense when there is reasonable assurance that the relevant expenditure has been incurred, the amount can be reliably measured and that the Australian Tax Incentive will be received. The Company recognized additional R&D expense of $66,594 and reductions to R&D expense of $378,390 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $1,076,193 and $599,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Deferred Offering Costs – The Company had capitalized qualified legal, accounting and other direct costs related to its efforts to raise capital through the sale of its common stock under the July ATM Facility. Deferred offering costs were deferred and being amortized ratably upon sales under the July ATM Facility to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the July ATM proceeds. As a result of the Company pausing the July ATM Facility, all of the remaining deferred offering costs were immediately amortized to additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the proceeds received in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, no remaining amounts of deferred offering costs were capitalized related to the July ATM Facility.

Stock-Based Compensation – Stock-based compensation expense represents the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s equity awards, consisting of stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan and restricted common stock (see Note 7). The fair value of equity awards is recognized over the requisite service period of such awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the remaining service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved.

Research and Development Costs – R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist primarily of clinical research fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, other expenses relating to design, development and testing of the Company’s therapy candidates, and for license and milestone costs related to in-licensed products and technology. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged to R&D expense if the technology licensed has not reached commercial feasibility and has no alternative future use. Such licenses purchased by the Company require substantial completion of research and development, regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach commercial feasibility and have no alternative future use.

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. The Company estimates expenses incurred for clinical trials that are in process based on services performed under contractual agreements with clinical research organizations and actual clinical investigators. Included in the estimates are (1) the fee per patient enrolled as specified in the clinical trial contract with each institution participating in the clinical trial and (2) progressive data on patient enrollments obtained from participating clinical trial sites and the actual services performed. Changes in clinical trial assumptions, such as the length of time estimated to enroll all patients, rate of screening failures, patient drop-out rates, number and nature of adverse event reports, and the total number of patients enrolled can impact the average and expected cost per patient and the overall cost of the clinical trial. The Company monitors the progress of the trials and their related activities and adjusts expense accruals, when applicable. Adjustments to accruals are charged to expense in the period in which the facts give rise to the adjustments become known.

**Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) –**Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income.

**Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains (Losses) –**The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Nexcella, maintain their accounting records in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s operating subsidiary, IBAPL, is located in Australia and maintains its accounting records in Australian Dollars, which is its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated by using the average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated at exchange rates approximating those in effect at the transaction dates. Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and were $(2,849) and $8,095 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(22,326) and $6,372 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**Loss Per Common Share **- Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include 1,913,661 shares underlying Pre-Funded warrants to purchase common shares (See Note 7). As the shares underlying these Pre-Funded warrants can be issued for nominal consideration (an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share), these shares are deemed to be issued for purposes of basic loss per common share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included stock options and warrants exercisable for 4,408,488 and 2,911,412 shares of common stock, respectively.

Property and Equipment - Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consists of manufacturing space improvements and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

Estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss are included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized to expenses as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

**Leases **- At the inception of a contract the Company determines if the arrangement is, or contains a lease. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has made certain accounting policy elections whereby it (i) does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12-months or less) and (ii) separates lease and non-lease elements of its operating leases as separate lease components. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any finance leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280):*Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,*which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company has implemented this ASU effective January 1, 2024, and determined no retrospective changes were necessary.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740):*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,*which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

Note 3 –Prior Agreements with Nexcella Subsidiary

Nexcella Absorption

On May 20, 2024, Nexcella, was merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Nexcella Absorption”). The Merger was effected pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) when the Company filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger (“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company owned greater than 95% of outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis of Nexcella, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Nexcella Shares”), and 100% of the outstanding shares of each other class of capital stock of Nexcella. Under the DGCL, the only approval required was that of the Company’s Board of Directors for the Merger to become effective. As a result of the Merger, Nexcella ceased to exist and all assets, operations and other property and rights of Nexcella have been succeeded to by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Merger, as a result of the Merger, each of the outstanding Nexcella Shares (other than Nexcella Shares held by the Company) were converted into common stock of the Company (“Company Merger Shares”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 989,876 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Nexcella (other than shares held by the Company) (including Company common stock issued to third-party cash investors in Nexcella) (the “Merger Shares”). The shares were issued on a pro-rata basis and as such resulted in no change in fair value. In addition, the Company issued to the former participants in the Nexcella 2022 Equity Incentive Plan,275,759 restricted stock awards to receive common stock in the Company and options to purchase up to 595,676 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $2.47 per share (the closing price on May 17, 2024), under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. As such, as of May 20, 2024, the Founders Agreement and Management Services Agreement agreements listed below with Nexcella are no longer in effect.

Founders Agreement

Effective December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Founders Agreement with Nexcella (the “Nexcella Founders Agreement”).

The Nexcella Founders Agreement provided that prior to a Qualified IPO (as defined in Nexcella’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Nexcella COI”)) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), the Company shall provide funds to Nexcella as requested by Nexcella, in good faith, to be evidenced by a senior unsecured promissory note. In exchange for the time and capital expended in the formation of Nexcella and the identification of specific assets, the acquisition of which benefit Nexcella, on December 21, 2022, the Company loaned Nexcella approximately $2.1 million, evidenced by a senior unsecured promissory note, representing the up-front fee required to acquire Nexcella’s license agreement with Hadasit Medical Research Services & Development, Ltd. (“HADASIT”) and BIRAD Research and Development Company Ltd. (“BIRAD”), and for use as working capital for its research and development activities. The note, which had a maturity date of January 31, 2030, accrued interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum and was convertible into shares of common stock of Nexcella at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment; provided, however, that such note shall automatically convert into shares of Nexcella common stock immediately prior to certain conversion triggers set forth in the note. Nexcella may not prepay the note without the Company’s prior written consent. The note and accrued interest were converted in full prior to the Nexcella Absorption. The Nexcella Founders Agreement had a term of 15 years, which, upon expiration, would automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless terminated by the Company upon notice at least six months prior to the end of the term or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement). In connection with the Nexcella Founders Agreement, the Company was issued 250,000 shares of Nexcella’s Class A Preferred Stock,1,000,000 shares of Nexcella’s Class A Common Stock, and 5,000,000 shares of Nexcella’s common stock. The Class A Preferred Stock was identical to the common stock other than as to conversion rights, the PIK Dividend right (as defined below) and voting rights.

Each share of Class A Preferred Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. As a holder of Nexcella’s Class A Preferred Stock, the Company received on each March 13 (each a “PIK Dividend Payment Date”) until the date all outstanding Class A Preferred Stock was converted into Nexcella’s common stock or redeemed (and the purchase price is paid in full), pro rata per share dividends paid in additional fully paid and nonassessable shares of Nexcella common stock (“PIK Dividends”) such that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to such PIK Dividend was equal to 2.5% of Nexcella’s fully-diluted outstanding capitalization on the date that was one business day prior to any PIK Dividend Payment Date. In addition, as a holder of Class A Preferred Stock, the Company was entitled to cast for each share of Class A Preferred Stock held as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on matters presented to the stockholders of Nexcella, the number of votes that was equal to 1.1 times a fraction, the numerator of which was the sum of (A) the shares of outstanding Nexcella common stock and (B) the whole shares of Nexcella common stock into which the shares of outstanding Nexcella Class A Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock were convertible and the denominator of which was the number of shares of outstanding Nexcella Class A Preferred Stock.

Each share of Class A Common Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, upon a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Nexcella COI) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), each share of Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock; provided however, if at that time, the Class A Common Stock was not then convertible into a number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of: (a) in the case of a Qualified IPO, at least $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering, or (b) in the case of a Qualified Change in Control, at least $5,000,000 in cash or at least $5,000,000 of equity based on the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control, the Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into such number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering or the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control (or if such Qualified Change of Control results in the Class A Shares being exchanged solely for cash, then $5,000,000 in cash). The Company was entitled to cast such number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Nexcella common stock into which the Company’s Class A Common Stock was convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on matters presented to the stockholders of Nexcella.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company was entitled to one vote for each share of Nexcella common stock held by it. Except as provided by law or by the Nexcella COI, holders of Nexcella Class A Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Nexcella common stock, as a single class.

As additional consideration under the Nexcella Founders Agreement, Nexcella also agreed to:(i) pay an equity fee in shares of common stock, payable within five business days of the closing of any equity or debt financing for Nexcella or any of its respective subsidiaries that occurs after the effective date of the Nexcella Founders Agreement and ending on the date when the Company no longer has majority voting control in Nexcella’s voting equity, equal to 2.5% of the gross amount of any such equity or debt financing; and (ii) pay a cash fee equal to 4.5% of Nexcella’s annual Net Sales (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement), payable on an annual basis, within 90 days of the end of each calendar year. In the event of a Change of Control, Nexcella agreed to pay a one-time change in control fee equal to five times the product of (A) Net Sales for the 12 months immediately preceding the Change of Control and (B) 4.5%.

Management Services Agreement

Effective as of December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Nexcella MSA”) with Nexcella. Pursuant to the terms of the Nexcella MSA, the Company rendered management, advisory and consulting services to Nexcella. Services provided under the Nexcella MSA may include, without limitation, (i) advice and assistance concerning any and all aspects of Nexcella’s operations, clinical trials, financial planning and strategic transactions and financings and (ii) conducting relations on behalf of Nexcella with accountants, attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals (collectively, the “Services”). At the request of the Company, Nexcella utilized clinical research services, medical education, communication and marketing services and investor relations/public relation services of companies or individuals designated by the Company, provided those services are offered at market prices. In consideration for the Services, Nexcella paid the Company an annual base management and consulting fee of $500,000 (the “Annual Consulting Fee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Annual Consulting Fee payment was not due until the first business day of the calendar quarter immediately following the completion of the first equity financing for Nexcella that was in excess of $10 million in gross proceeds, which did not occur. Actual and direct out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in performing the Services were reimbursed to the Company by Nexcella.

The Nexcella MSA was terminated on May 20, 2024 in connection with the Nexcella Absorption. In addition, as a result of the Nexcella Absorption, the Class A Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock, and the Founders Agreement cease to exist.

Note 11 –Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and may provide for indemnification of the counterparty. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against it in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not been subject to any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations.

The Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as the director or officer may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such individual in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. The Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of September 30, 2024.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not currently have any pending litigation to which it is a party or to which its property is subject that it believes to be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, and it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting the Company’s overall operations.
