Catalyst Biosciences, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1.

Nature of Operations and Liquidity

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Catalyst”) is a fully integrated research and clinical development biopharmaceutical company with expertise in protease engineering, discovery, translational research, clinical development, and manufacturing. The Company is focused on advancing its protease product candidates in the fields of hemostasis and complement regulation. The Company is located in South San Francisco, California and operates in one segment.

The Company had a net loss of $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and an accumulated deficit of $279.8 million as of June 30, 2020. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the next several years. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $117.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Its primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, including research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Based on the current status of its research and development plans, the Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2020 will be sufficient to fund its cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this quarterly report. If, at any time, the Company’s prospects for financing its research and development programs decline, the Company may decide to reduce research and development expenses by delaying, discontinuing or reducing its funding of one or more of its research or development programs. Alternatively, the Company might raise funds through strategic collaborations, public or private financings or other arrangements. Such funding, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. These interim results and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”).

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in “Part II - Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (“ASU 2018-18”). The amended guidance precludes presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-18 as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity's expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology currently used today with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, to provide entities with more flexibility in applying the fair value option on adoption of the credit impairment standard. ASU 2018-19 and ASU 2019-05 have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 and related updates as of January 1, 2023. The Company will assess the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Cost of License and Collaboration Revenue

Cost of license revenue includes sublicense fees paid or payable to Mosaic Biosciences, Inc. (“Mosaic”), incurred in the period, under the terms of the Mosaic collaboration agreement, and fees for patent development and protection paid or payable to other third-party vendors corresponding to the recognition of license revenue from the Biogen Agreement. See Notes 7 and 11. Cost of license revenue does not include any allocated overhead costs.

Cost of collaboration revenue includes fees for research and development services paid or payable to Mosaic and other third-party vendors and personnel cost, incurred in the period pertaining to the Biogen Agreement. See Notes 7 and 11. Cost of collaboration revenue does not include any allocated overhead costs.

3.

Fair Value Measurements

For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Company’s fair value methodology, see “Part II - Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report. There were no significant changes in these methodologies during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 or 2 during the periods presented. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Lease

The Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters, located in South San Francisco, CA. The lease term is through April 30, 2023 and there are no stated renewal options. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company has elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the original lease term and not the remaining lease term. The lease includes non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) that are paid separately from rent based on actual costs incurred and therefore were not included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability but are reflected as an expense in the period incurred.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach. Due to its limited history as a public company and limited number of sales of its common stock, the Company estimated its volatility considering a number of factors including the use of the volatility of comparable public companies. The expected term of options granted under the Plan, all of which qualify as “plain vanilla” per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, is determined based on the simplified method due to the Company’s limited operating history. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent with the option. This fair value is being amortized ratably over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Collaborations

Pfizer

Pursuant to the termination agreement entered into on December 8, 2016, in connection with the termination of a prior license and development agreement, Pfizer granted the Company an exclusive license to Pfizer’s proprietary rights for manufacturing materials and processes that apply to Factor VIIa variants, CB 813a and marzeptacog alfa (activated) - MarzAA. Pfizer also transferred to the Company the IND application and documentation related to the development, manufacturing and testing of the Factor VIIa products as well as the orphan drug designation. The Company agreed to make contingent cash payments to Pfizer in an aggregate amount up to $17.5 million, payable upon the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones. Following commercialization of any covered product, Pfizer will also receive a single-digit royalty on net product sales on a country-by-country basis for a predefined royalty term. In February 2018, the Company paid Pfizer a $1.0 million milestone payment based on the dosing of the first patient in its Phase 2 study; the amount was recorded as a research and development expense. No payments were made to Pfizer in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

ISU Abxis

In December 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated license agreement with ISU Abxis (the “A&R ISU Abxis Agreement”), which amended and restated its previous license and collaboration agreement with ISU Abxis previously entered

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

into in September 2013, as subsequently amended in October 2014 and December 2016 (the “Original ISU Abxis Agreement”). Under the A&R ISU Abxis Agreement, ISU Abxis will receive commercialization rights in South Korea to the Company’s engineered Factor IX dalcinonacog alfa - DalcA and the Company will receive clinical development and commercialization rights in the rest of world (excluding South Korea) and manufacturing development and manufacturing rights worldwide (including South Korea). The A&R ISU Abxis Agreement eliminates the profit-sharing arrangement in the Original ISU Abxis Agreement and provides for a low single-digit royalty payment to ISU Abxis, on a country-by-country basis, for net product sales of DalcA by the Company or its affiliates in each country other than South Korea. Pursuant to the A&R ISU Abxis Agreement, the Company will also pay up to an aggregate of $19.5 million in milestone payments to ISU Abxis, including $2.5 million in regulatory and development milestone payments and up to $17.0 million in commercial milestone payments, if the applicable milestones are met. As of June 30, 2020, no milestones have been met.

Biogen

On December 18, 2019, the Company and Biogen International GmbH (“Biogen”) entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Biogen Agreement”), under which the Company granted Biogen a worldwide, royalty-bearing, exclusive, with the right to sublicense, license (“Exclusive License”) to develop and commercialize CB 2782-PEG and other anti-C3 proteases for potential treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”) and other disorders. Pursuant to the Biogen Agreement, the Company will perform certain pre-clinical and manufacturing activities (“Research Services”), and Biogen will be solely responsible for funding the pre-clinical and manufacturing activities and performing IND-enabling activities, worldwide clinical development, and commercialization. The Company will provide the Research Services over a term of thirty months with Biogen having the option to extend the term for two additional twelve-month periods.

Under the terms of the Biogen Agreement, the Company received an up-front payment for the transfer of the Exclusive License (inclusive of certain know-how) of $15.0 million in January 2020. The Company is eligible to receive development milestones and sales milestones of up to $340.0 million. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties in the range of single-digit to low double-digit percentage rates of annual net sales on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis. The Company will also receive reimbursements for costs associated with the performance of the Research Services.

The Company determined that the performance obligations under the Biogen Agreement were the Exclusive License and the Research Services. For the Exclusive License, the Company used the residual approach in determining the standalone selling price, or SSP, which includes the upfront payments, milestones and royalties. For the Research Services, the Company used the historical pricing approach for determining the SSP, which includes the reimbursement of personnel and out-of-pocket costs.

The Biogen Agreement will continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the first product in a country, unless terminated earlier by either party as specified under the agreement.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized the $15.0 million in license revenue upon the transfer of the Exclusive License and the related know-how, and $0.1 million in license revenue for reimbursable out-of-pocket costs incurred.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in collaboration revenue for reimbursable out-of-pocket and personnel costs incurred related to research services.

Overview

We are a research and clinical development biopharmaceutical company focused on addressing unmet needs in rare hematologic and complement-mediated disorders. Our protease engineering platform includes two late-stage clinical programs in hemophilia; a research program on engineering of subcutaneous (“SQ”) complement inhibitors; and a partnered preclinical development program with Biogen for dry age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”). The product candidates generated by our protease engineering platform have improved functionality and potency that allow for: SQ administration of recombinant coagulation factors and complement inhibitors; low-dose, high activity gene therapy constructs; and less frequently dosed intravitreal therapeutics.

Our most advanced product candidate is marzeptacog alfa (activated) (“MarzAA”), a next-generation SQ FVIIa entering a Phase 3 registration study in late 2020. Our next most advanced product candidate is dalcinonacog alfa (“DalcA”), a next-generation SQ FIX, which has demonstrated efficacy and safety in a Phase 2b clinical trial in individuals with Hemophilia B. We have a discovery stage Factor IX gene therapy construct - CB 2679d-GT - for Hemophilia B, that has demonstrated superiority compared with the Padua variant in preclinical models. Finally, we have a global license and collaboration agreement with Biogen for the development and commercialization of anti-complement Factor 3 (“C3”) pegylated CB 2782.

 

The following table summarizes our current development programs.

Our most advanced product candidate is MarzAA, a potent, SQ administered, next-generation recombinant Factor VIIa variant. We are entering into a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MarzAA for on-demand treatment and control of episodic bleeding in subjects with Hemophilia A or Hemophilia B with inhibitors.  We expect to enroll the first patient in late 2020. The Phase 3 study will be an open-label cross-over trial, evaluating the safety and efficacy of SQ MarzAA in the treatment of bleeding episodes in approximately 60 patients, compared with standard of care. The study will assess the effectiveness of SQ MarzAA, using up to three doses to treat a bleeding episode. The primary endpoint will be hemostatic efficacy using a standard 4-point assessment scale.

We completed a Phase 2 open-label SQ prophylaxis trial in 2019 that met all primary and secondary end points. The Phase 2 trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of MarzAA in preventing bleeding episodes. The primary endpoint was to assess the effect of MarzAA on the annualized bleed rate (“ABR”) at a subject’s final dose level, with each patient’s prior 6-month ABR serving as his own control. The secondary endpoints included safety, tolerability and lack of anti-drug-antibody or neutralizing antibody formation.

We also plan to initiate a Phase 1/2 trial of MarzAA in Factor VII Deficiency, Glanzmann Thrombasthenia, and patients with Hemophilia A with inhibitors treated with Hemlibra for treatment of bleeding in late 2020.  Our preclinical data suggest that MarzAA has the potential to be used for treatment of episodic bleeding and supports further clinical testing in individuals with hemophilia with inhibitors or for other conditions.

We completed a Phase 1/2 PK/PD study, MAA-102, to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ascending single dose levels of MarzAA and twice and thrice dosing of 60 µg/kg at 3-hourly intervals in individuals with Hemophilia A or B with or without inhibitors. The purpose of the trial was to determine if the timing and peak levels achieved were sufficient to treat episodic or breakthrough bleeding with SQ dosing and determine if increasing dose levels resulted in dose proportional pharmacokinetics. This trial, together with population pharmacokinetic simulations, confirms that we have optimized dosing for the MarzAA Phase 3 study. We reported final data from the MAA-102 trial at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostatis on July 12, 2020, which demonstrated that MarzAA reaches target levels we believe are required to effectively treat episodic and breakthrough bleeds.

Intravenous NovoSeven is the primary therapy used to stop breakthrough bleeding in Hemophilia A inhibitor patients being treated with Hemlibra. Our preclinical data indicates that MarzAA can potentially have a safety profile comparable to that of NovoSeven when used in combination with Hemlibra. Specifically, in vitro testing using a thrombin-generation assay with Hemophilia A plasma, both MarzAA and NovoSeven were equally effective at triggering blood coagulation when combined with Hemlibra at their respective clinically relevant concentrations without generation of excessive thrombin levels. The concurrent administration of FEIBA with Hemlibra has been associated with thrombotic events (when a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel), requiring a boxed warning in the package insert. While NovoSeven is safe in patients on Hemlibra prophylaxis, it must be administered through an IV infusion to treat a bleed. Ideally, an add-on therapy for patients on SQ Hemlibra would also be given subcutaneously. We believe MarzAA provides a potential solution as a SQ rescue therapy for Hemophilia A patients with inhibitors who experience breakthrough bleeds while being treated prophylactically with Hemlibra.

DalcA

We completed a Phase 2b study for our next most advanced product candidate, DalcA, a next-generation SQ Factor IX (“FIX”) drug for the prophylactic treatment of individuals with Hemophilia B.  The trial was designed to evaluate daily SQ dosing and the ability to maintain protective steady state FIX levels above 12% in six individuals with severe Hemophilia B. Each subject received a single intravenous dose, followed by daily SQ doses of DalcA for 28 days during which FIX activity levels, clotting parameters, half-life, safety, tolerability and anti-drug antibody formation were monitored.

We reported at the World Federation of Hemophilia Virtual Summit on June 15, 2020 that 28 days of daily SQ dosing of DalcA at 100 IU/kg achieved protective target FIX levels of >12% in all participants, with FIX levels of up to 27% and a half-life of 2.5 to 5.1 days.  No bleeds were reported during the 28 days of dosing and the 5 day wash-out, demonstrating effective prophylaxis and the potential for lower or less frequent dosing. Injection volumes were less than 1 mL. One subject withdrew on day 7 after reporting injection site reactions (“ISR”) from the first 3 SQ doses. No neutralizing anti-drug antibodies were detected, and no serious adverse events were reported. A single non-neutralizing anti-drug antibody to DalcA was observed at the end of study time point and had no clinical effect. Some subjects reported mild ISR of pain and/or redness, primarily with the initial injections. No thrombotic events occurred and blood coagulation markers did not show any prothrombotic signals.

Factor IX Gene Therapy

Our Factor IX gene therapy construct CB 2679d-GT has demonstrated 2-fold to 3-fold higher activity compared with the Padua variant of Factor IX resulting in significantly improved clotting time and reduced blood loss in a preclinical Hemophilia B mouse model. Fidanacogene elaparvovec (“Pfizer/Spark”), AMT-061 (“uniQure/CSL”) and FLT180A (“Freeline”) use the Padua variant as the transgene in their AAV-based gene therapy clinical programs. Fidanacogene elaparvovec, AMT-061 and FLT180A have demonstrated encouraging Factor IX levels in their respective Phase 1/2 and Phase 2/3 studies with median Factor IX activity levels of approximately 30-45%. We have licensed AAV technology from The Board of Trustees of The Leland Stanford Junior University (“Stanford”) and are currently optimizing the vector under a sponsored research agreement with Stanford. The Company presented preclinical data at the 13th Annual Congress of the European Association of Haemophilia and Allied Disorders in February 2020 demonstrating that a proprietary chimeric AAV capsid licensed from Stanford expressing our CB 2679d-GT FIX variant may significantly reduce the vector dose required of a gene therapy treatment while maintaining high factor activity levels.

We reported at the World Federation of Hemophilia Virtual Summit on June 19, 2020 that studies of CB 2679d-GT in Hemophilia B mice have demonstrated a 4-fold reduction in blood loss and an 8-fold reduction in bleeding time when compared with the same dose of the Padua variant of FIX. Furthermore, when packaged in a proprietary chimeric AAV capsid, CB 2679d-GT demonstrated a clear dose response of high stable FIX levels across the three dose levels in Hemophilia B mice.

A pilot non-human primate study compared the expression and tolerability of CB 2679d-GT in the novel chimeric capsid KP1 with the LK03 chimeric capsid. The study demonstrated that CB 2679d-GT was well tolerated with high FIX expression that stabilized to approximately 25% to 50% FIX above baseline levels at the 6-week interim data cutoff. The novel chimeric capsid had differentiated and superior response to anti-capsid neutralizing antibodies compared to that observed for the LK03 comparator during the screening of non-human primates for the study.

SQ Systemic Complement Inhibitors

We have initiated discovery research to identify novel complement pathway regulating proteases and expect to nominate our first development candidate in late 2020.

Recent Collaborations

On December 18, 2019, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Biogen to develop and commercialize CB 2782-PEG and our other anti-C3 proteases for the potential treatment of dry AMD and other disorders. Under the collaboration agreement,

18


 

we will perform pre-clinical and manufacturing activities, and Biogen is solely responsible for funding the pre-clinical and manufacturing activities and performing IND-enabling activities, worldwide clinical development, and commercialization. We received a $15.0 million upfront payment from Biogen in January 2020 for the grant of an exclusive license and the related know-how, and we are eligible to receive up to $340.0 million in milestone payments, along with tiered royalties for worldwide net sales of this product candidate up to low double-digits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $1.6 million and $2.9 million in collaboration revenue. Unless earlier terminated, the agreement will remain in effect until the expiry of all royalty obligations. Biogen has the right to terminate the agreement at will, on a product-by-product basis or in its entirety at any time upon 60 days prior written notice. In addition, either party has the right to terminate the agreement following a material breach that remains uncured for 90 days, or in connection with an insolvency event involving the other party.

 

We also collaborated with Mosaic Biosciences (“Mosaic”) in the development of our Complement product candidates including CB 2782-PEG. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended in December 2019, Mosaic will perform all future services for a fee, and pursuant to a subsequent amendment in May 2020, Mosaic received a one-time cash payment of $0.8 million and is eligible to receive up to $4.0 million in potential future milestone payments related to regulatory and clinical development events for CB 2782-PEG and an additional anti-complement product candidate in cash, or in common stock if the Company elects, in lieu of our obligations to pay Mosaic a double-digit percentage of funds we receive from Biogen or any other amounts we receive related to sublicense fees, research and development payments, or any other research, regulatory, clinical or commercial milestones and royalties on any other development candidates. We now own one hundred percent of all future payment streams related to these product candidates.

Dr. Usman, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, and Mr. Lawlor, a member of our board of directors, were members of the board of directors of Mosaic. Transactions with related parties, including the transaction referred above, are reviewed and approved by independent members of our Board of Directors in accordance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Recent Manufacturing Updates

We have a long-term development and manufacturing services agreement with AGC Biologics, Inc. (“AGC”). AGC has global manufacturing sites and we use their facilities in the U.S. and Europe for drug substance manufacturing of MarzAA and DalcA. We also have long-term clinical supply services agreements with Symbiosis Pharmaceutical Services (“Symbiosis”) and Catalent Indiana, LLC (“Catalent”). Symbiosis has facilities in Europe and conducts drug product manufacturing for MarzAA. Catalent has facilities in the U.S. and Europe and conducts drug product development, manufacturing and packaging for MarzAA and DalcA.

MarzAA

We have successfully manufactured MarzAA to support our global Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MarzAA for on-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes in subjects with Hemophilia A or Hemophilia B with inhibitors. At the end of 2019, we successfully completed development work for a variety of vial sizes which will support flexible dosing. As of June 30, 2020, we have successfully completed two large-scale GMP batches of MarzAA that will be sufficient to support the Phase 3 clinical trial through its completion.

In January 2020, we completed a successful CMC Scientific Advice meeting with the Paul Ehrlich Institute in the EU which endorsed our current CMC activities and plans required for registration filing. 

DalcA

We have completed the transfer of manufacturing technology of the drug substance for DalcA from ISU Abxis, with whom we had collaborated on the Phase 1 development of DalcA, to AGC, including the associated development activities and our first large-scale GMP batch of DalcA that will support the initiation of further clinical trials. At the end of 2019, we successfully completed development work for a variety of vial sizes which will support flexible dosing in future clinical trials. As of June 30, 2020, we have successfully manufactured a large-scale drug product engineering batch of DalcA.

Recent Other Developments

COVID-19 business impact

The current COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world and is affecting our employees, potential trial participants and business operations.  The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.  

19


 

To date, we have instructed our employees to stay at home except as needed to ensure continuity of our operations. As we continue to actively advance our clinical programs, we are in close contact with our principal investigators, clinical sites and contractors, including manufacturers, and are assessing the impact of COVID-19 on planned trials, expected timelines and costs on an ongoing basis. We are continuing study start-up activities where possible to allow rapid site activation and enrollment of our Phase 3 MarzAA trial at the appropriate time.

Given the focus of healthcare providers and hospitals on treating patients with the virus, and the reluctance of potential trial participants to visit hospitals or other clinical trial sites, we may experience delays in the enrollment of patients in our upcoming clinical trials as well as delays in the analysis of data from our trials that have completed. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and will reevaluate the timing of our anticipated clinical milestones as we learn more and the impact of COVID-19 on our industry becomes clearer.

 

Financing

In June 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 4,615,384 shares of our common stock at a price of $6.50 per share. The net proceeds to us, after deducting $2.0 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $28.0 million.

In February 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 5,307,692 shares of our common stock (including 692,307 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) at a price of $6.50 per share. The net proceeds to us, after deducting $2.5 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, were $32.0 million.

 

We have no products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. From inception to June 30, 2020, we have raised net proceeds of approximately $449.6 million, primarily from private placements of convertible preferred stock, proceeds from our merger with Targacept, issuances of shares of common stock and warrants, including $73.1 million in total revenue from our license and collaboration agreements.

We have never been profitable and have incurred significant operating losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were $17.2 million and $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $21.3 million and $28.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $279.8 million. As of June 30, 2020, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance were $117.4 million. Substantially all our operating losses were incurred in our research and development programs and in our general and administrative operations.

We expect to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue the preclinical, manufacturing and clinical development, and seek regulatory approval for our drug candidates. Our operating losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year due to timing of preclinical, manufacturing, clinical development programs and regulatory guidance spending.

New Leadership Appointments

On June 15, 2020, we appointed Clinton Musil as our new Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, 2020. Clinton Musil was previously Chief Business Officer at Personalis, where he helped build a pipeline and rapidly scale revenue as well as complete the Company’s $150.0 million initial public offering. Prior to Personalis, Mr. Musil was a member of the executive management team at ARMO Biosciences, where he oversaw the Company’s initial public offering and $1.6 billion sale to Eli Lilly. In addition to his operational experience, Clinton brings an extensive background in healthcare investment banking. Earlier in his career, Mr. Musil served in various positions at Gilead Sciences and Sanofi. Mr. Musil received a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.

Financial Operations Overview

License and Collaboration Revenue

License and collaboration revenue consist of revenue earned for performance obligations satisfied pursuant to our Biogen Agreement. In December 2019, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Biogen. In consideration for the grant of an Exclusive License and related know-how, we received an up-front payment of $15.0 million in January 2020, which was recorded in license revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We also incurred reimbursable out-of-pocket and personnel costs pertaining to the Biogen Agreement of $1.7 million and $3.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. There can be no assurance when any future milestone or royalty payments under the Biogen agreement may occur, if at all.

20


 

We have not generated any revenue from the sale of any drugs, and we do not expect to generate any revenue until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize our product candidates.

Cost of License and Collaboration

Cost of license and collaboration revenue consists of sublicense fees and fees for research and development services payable to Mosaic, fees for research and development services payable to third-party vendors, and personnel costs, corresponding to the recognition of license and collaboration revenue from Biogen. Cost of license and collaboration revenue does not include any allocated overhead costs. In connection with the license revenue recognized from Biogen as discussed above, we paid Mosaic a $3.0 million sublicense fee and recorded such payment as cost of license revenue. We also incurred reimbursable out-of-pocket and personnel costs pertaining to the Biogen Agreement of $1.7 million and $3.1 million and recorded such costs as cost of collaboration revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to conduct research, such as the discovery and development of our product candidates. We recognize all research and development costs as they are incurred.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of the following:

 

employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;

 

laboratory and vendor expenses, including payments to consultants, related to the execution of preclinical, non-clinical, and clinical studies;

 

the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical materials and developing manufacturing processes;

 

clinical trial expenses, including costs of third-party clinical research organizations;

 

performing toxicity studies; and

 

facilities and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation and amortization expense and other supplies.

Prior year numbers have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

The largest component of our total operating expenses has historically been our investment in research and development activities, including the clinical and manufacturing development of our product candidates. We are currently focusing substantially all our resources and development efforts on MarzAA, DalcA and our anti-complement program. Our internal resources, employees and infrastructure are not directly tied to individual product candidates or development programs. As such, we do not maintain information regarding these costs incurred for these research and development programs on a project-specific basis.

We expect our aggregate research and development expenses will increase during the next year as we advance the clinical and manufacturing development of our programs. The global coronavirus pandemic may also delay and increase costs of our current development plans.

On May 20, 2016, we signed a development and manufacturing services agreement with AGC, formerly known as CMC ICOS Biologics, Inc., pursuant to which AGC will conduct manufacturing development of agreed upon product candidates. We will own all intellectual property developed in such manufacturing development activities that are specifically related to our product candidates and will have a royalty-free and perpetual license to use AGC’s intellectual property to the extent reasonably necessary to make these

21


 

product candidates, including commercial manufacturing. In 2016 we commenced manufacturing activities for MarzAA, and successfully manufactured MarzAA for the Phase 2 portion of a planned Phase 2/3 clinical trial.

The initial term of the agreement is ten years or, if later, until all stages under outstanding statements of work have been completed. Either party may terminate the agreement in its entirety upon written notice of a material uncured breach or upon the other party’s bankruptcy, and we may terminate the agreement upon prior notice for any reason. In addition, each party may terminate the agreement in the event that the manufacturing development activities cannot be completed for technical or scientific reasons. We have committed to a total of $11.3 million in payments to AGC pursuant to the statements of work for MarzAA and DalcA and $3.2 million of those payments are outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

On October 9, 2019, we signed a clinical supply services agreement with Catalent, effective Oct 4, 2019, pursuant to which Catalent will conduct drug product development of agreed upon product candidates. We will own, and Catalent assigns to us, the intellectual property that is specifically related to our products including the products’ composition and use, and Catalent will own, and we assign to Catalent, the intellectual property that result from Catalent’s performance of its services under the clinical supply agreement.

The initial term of the clinical supply agreement is three years, although the term may be extended for successive twelve-month periods, unless either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to extend the term at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial term or the then-current extension.  Either party may terminate the clinical supply agreement in its entirety upon written notice of a material uncured breach or upon the other party’s bankruptcy, and we may terminate the clinical supply agreement for its convenience upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. In addition, each party may terminate the clinical supply agreement in the event that the other party fails to perform its obligations under the agreement for reasons beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as technical or scientific reasons. If we cancel or reschedule a project plan or purchase order outside the parameters set in the clinical supply agreement, we would be obligated to pay for a portion of Catalent’s costs less certain fees that Catalent is able to mitigate. We have committed to a total of $0.5 million in payments to Catalent pursuant to the statements of work for DalcA and zero of those payments are outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

The process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. We may never succeed in achieving marketing approval for our product candidates. The probability of success of each product candidate may be affected by numerous factors, including clinical data, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. As a result, we are unable to determine the duration of and costs to complete our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates.

Successful development of current and future product candidates is highly uncertain. Completion dates and costs for our research programs can vary significantly for each current and future product candidate and are difficult to predict. Thus, we cannot estimate with any degree of certainty the costs we will incur in the development of our product candidates. We anticipate we will make determinations as to which programs and product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each program and product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the scientific success of early research programs, results of ongoing and future clinical trials, our ability to enter into collaborative agreements with respect to programs or potential product candidates, as well as ongoing assessments as to each current or future product candidate’s commercial potential.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, allocated expenses and other expenses for outside professional services, including legal, human resources, audit and accounting services. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonus, benefits and stock-based compensation. We incur expenses associated with operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), insurance expenses, audit expenses, investor relations activities, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance expenses and other administrative expenses and professional services. We expect such expenses to increase as we advance our programs.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income consists primarily of interest income on our investment portfolio and a payment received in the first quarter of 2020 under an agreement associated with neuronal nicotinic receptor assets sold in 2016.

License and Collaboration Revenue

License and collaboration revenue of $1.7 million and $18.0 million generated in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, was from our Biogen Agreement, which was entered into on December 18, 2019.

Cost of License and Collaboration

Cost of license in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily the $3.0 million sublicense fee we paid to Mosaic in connection with the recognition of the license revenue from Biogen. Cost of collaboration in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was reimbursable third-party vendor and personnel costs we incurred pertaining to the Biogen Agreement.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were $12.9 million and $11.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $1.8 million, or 16%. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $2.7 million in preclinical spending and an increase of $0.6 million in personnel and facilities costs, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in clinical and manufacturing costs.

Research and development expenses were $26.2 million and $23.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $3.0 million, or 13%. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $3.6 million in preclinical spend and an increase of $0.8 million in personnel costs, partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in clinical manufacturing costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $4.4 million and $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 34%. This increase was due primarily to an increase in professional services.

General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million and $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 16%. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $1.4 million in professional services, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in personnel-related costs.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net was $0.1 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income on investments.

Interest and other income, net was $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $0.8 million, partially offset by a $0.7 million final contingent payment from a prior asset sale.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020, we had $117.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a $21.3 million net loss and $19.9 million cash used in operating activities. We have an accumulated deficit of $279.8 million as of June 30, 2020. Our primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, including research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

We believe that our existing capital resources, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We plan to continue to fund losses from operations and capital funding needs through future equity and/or debt financings, as well as potential additional asset sales, licensing transactions, collaborations or strategic partnerships with other companies. We have effective registration statements on Form S-3 that enable us to sell up to $170.0 million in securities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Licensing transactions, collaborations or strategic partnerships may result in us relinquishing valuable rights. We can provide no assurance that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding we may be forced to delay, make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019. For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates. We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity in our investment portfolio. Fixed rate securities and borrowings may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to fluctuations in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall and floating rate borrowings may lead to additional interest expense if interest rates increase. Due in part to these factors, our future

25


 

investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.

However, because of the short-term nature of the instruments in our portfolio, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on the fair market value of our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $117.4 million, which included bank deposits and money market funds and short-term investments of $58.1 million. Accordingly, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. The disclosure below modifies the risk factors previously disclosed in “Part I - Item 1A - Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2020.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties disclosed as “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, together with all of the other information in this Report, including the section titled “Part I - Financial Information - Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.  

The risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 have expanded to include the following additional risk factor:

 

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, could adversely impact our business, including our preclinical studies and clinical trials.

 

The global coronavirus pandemic has resulted in widespread requirements for individuals to stay in their homes and strained medical facilities worldwide. It is too early to assess the full impact of the coronavirus outbreak on our business, including our trials for MarzAA and DalcA and our development activities in our anti-complement program but coronavirus may affect our ability to complete recruitment and data analysis for our clinical trials and our ability to conduct research and development of our complement programs in our planned timeframe. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience disruptions that could severely impact our business, preclinical studies, drug manufacturing and clinical trials including:

 

 

delays or difficulties in enrolling potential trial participants in our clinical trials;

 

delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site staff;

 

diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials;

 

interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site data monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others or interruption of clinical trial subject visits and study procedures, which may impact the integrity of subject data and clinical study endpoints;

 

interruption or delays in the operations of the Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency or other regulatory authorities, which may impact review and approval timelines;

 

interruption of, or delays in receiving, supplies of our product candidates from our contract manufacturing organizations due to staffing shortages, production slowdowns or stoppages and disruptions in delivery systems;

 

interruptions in preclinical studies due to restricted or limited operations at laboratory facilities;

 

suspension or termination of our clinical trials for various reasons, such as a finding that the participants are being exposed to infectious diseases like COVID-19 or the participants involved in our clinical trials have become infected with COVID-19;

 

limitations on employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people; and

 

material delays and complications with respect to our research and development programs.

 

27


 

In addition, the trading prices for our common stock and other biopharmaceutical companies have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our operations and the value of our common stock.

6.Proprietary Information; Materials

6.1Proprietary Information.  Each of Catalyst and Mosaic understands that the Research may involve access by the other Party to confidential, proprietary or trade secret information or materials of Catalyst or Mosaic, as applicable (each a “Disclosing Party”) (or their respective affiliates, licensors, suppliers, vendors, clients, customers or any other third party to whom the Disclosing Party owes a duty of confidentiality), in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed or provided to the other Party before or after the execution of this Agreement (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). Proprietary Information further includes, without limitation, any trade secrets and know-how, and any: information, ideas or materials of a technical or creative nature, such as inventions, improvements, discoveries, developments, techniques, processes, research and development plans and results, reports, drawings, designs, specifications, works of authorship, data, formulas, files, patent applications, and other materials and concepts relating to Catalyst’s or Mosaic’s respective business, services, processes or technology.

6.2Restrictions on Use and Disclosure.  Each of Catalyst and Mosaic agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, it shall (a) hold Proprietary Information of the other Party in trust and confidence;

4CONFIDENTIAL

 


 

(b) not use Proprietary Information of the other Party in any manner or for any purpose not expressly set forth in this Agreement; (c) not reproduce such Proprietary Information of the other Party except to the extent reasonably required to fulfill its obligations hereunder; and (d) not disclose, deliver, provide, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party, directly or indirectly, any Proprietary Information of the other Party without first obtaining such Partys express written consent. Each Party may disclose Proprietary Information of the other Party only to employees and agents who have a need to know such Proprietary Information, and who are each obligated by a written agreement to comply with confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement.  Each Party shall take at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of Proprietary Information of the other Party.

6.3Exclusions.  The foregoing obligations in Section 6.2 shall not apply to any Proprietary Information (a) is or has become generally known or available other than by any act or omission of the non-Disclosing Party; (b) was rightfully known by the non-Disclosing Party prior to the time of first disclosure to the Disclosing Party; (c) is independently developed by the non-Disclosing Party without the use of Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party; or (d) is rightfully obtained without restriction from a third party who has the right to make such disclosure and without breach of any duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party. In addition, either Party may use or disclose Proprietary Information of the other Party to the extent (i) approved in advance in writing by the Disclosing Party or (ii) if legally compelled to disclose such Proprietary Information, provided that non-Disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to give advance notice of such compelled disclosure to the Disclosing Party, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in connection with any efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Proprietary Information.

6.4Materials.

(a)Catalyst is willing to transfer to Mosaic, and Mosaic is willing to receive, the materials specified in a work plan pursuant to Section 2.1 (“Materials”), for the sole purpose of conducting the Research at the facilities of Mosaic.  Materials shall also include CB2782 and CB2963 which had been provided to Mosaic pursuant to the Original Agreement, and shall include the original biological and/or other materials transferred to Mosaic, as well as any derivatives, formulations, conjugates, progeny, or improvements developed by Mosaic therefrom, and any combination of the foregoing with other substances.  All Materials shall be deemed the Proprietary Information of Catalyst.

14.General Provisions

14.1Independent Contractor Relationship.  Mosaic’s relationship with Catalyst shall be that of an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or employer-employee relationship between the Parties.  Mosaic is not the agent of Catalyst and is not authorized and shall not have any authority to make any representation, contract or commitment on behalf of Catalyst, or otherwise bind Catalyst in any respect whatsoever.

14.2Governing Law; Venue.  This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the Parties.  Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be commenced in a state or federal court in the State of Delaware, and each Party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding.

14.3Severability.  If the application of any provision of this Agreement to any particular facts or circumstances shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court, arbitration panel or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision as applied to any other particular facts or circumstances, and the other provisions of this Agreement, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible so as to effect the intent of the Parties. If, moreover, any provision contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law.

14.4Assignment.  Neither Party shall be entitled to assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, this Agreement and any of its rights or obligations of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that this Agreement may be assigned by either Party (including an assignment by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the other Party in connection with a Change of

11CONFIDENTIAL

 


 

Control of such Party, and may be assigned by Catalyst without the prior written consent of Mosaic to: (i) an Affiliate or (ii) to an acquirer of all or substantially all of the business or assets of Catalyst to which this Agreement relates, and rights to the Initial Payment or any Subsequent Payment may be assigned, in whole or part, by Mosaic without the prior written consent of Catalyst to a single Affiliate of Mosaic, which Affiliate shall not have any right to further assign such rights. Except as provided herein, any purported assignment, transfer or delegation by a Party shall be null and void.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.5Notices.  Any notice, request, demand, or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall reference this Agreement and shall be deemed to be properly given: (a) when delivered personally; (b) when sent by facsimile, with written confirmation of receipt by the sending facsimile machine; (c) five (5) business days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) two (2) business days after deposit with a private industry express courier, with written confirmation of receipt. All notices shall be sent to the address set forth on the preamble to this Agreement and to the notice of the person executing this Agreement (or to such other address or person as may be designated by a Party by giving written notice to the other Party pursuant to this Section 14.5).

14.6Legal Fees.  If any legal action, including, without limitation, an action for arbitration or injunctive relief, is brought relating to this Agreement or the breach hereof, the prevailing Party in any final judgment or arbitration award, or the non-dismissing Party in the event of a voluntary dismissal by the Party instituting the action, shall be entitled [***].

14.7Equitable Relief.  Each Party recognizes that the covenants contained in Sections 6 and 8 hereof are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the other Party, that each Party would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such covenants, and that the other Party’s breach or threatened breach of such covenants may cause irreparable harm and significant injury, the amount of which shall be extremely difficult to estimate and ascertain, thus, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore, each Party agrees that the other party shall be entitled, without the necessity of posting of any bond or security, to seek the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of such covenants and for any other relief such court deems appropriate.  This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.

14.8Waiver.  The waiver by either Party of a breach of or a default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under the same or any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either Party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy.

14.9Construction.  This Agreement has been negotiated by the Parties and shall be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any construction in favor of or against either Party.

12CONFIDENTIAL

 


 

14.10Captions and Section Headings.  The captions and section and paragraph headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.11Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed (including, without limitation, by facsimile signature) in one or more counterparts, with the same effect as if the Parties had signed the same document.  Each counterpart so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one Agreement.

14.12Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference) is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior or contemporaneous representations, discussions, proposals, negotiations, conditions, communications and agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and all past courses of dealing or industry custom, including the Original Agreement, which Original Agreement shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever following the date hereof. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

Nature of Operations and Liquidity

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Catalyst”) is a fully integrated research and clinical development biopharmaceutical company with expertise in protease engineering, discovery, translational research, clinical development, and manufacturing. The Company is focused on advancing its protease product candidates in the fields of hemostasis and complement regulation. The Company is located in South San Francisco, California and operates in one segment.

The Company had a net loss of $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and an accumulated deficit of $279.8 million as of June 30, 2020. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the next several years. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $117.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Its primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, including research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Based on the current status of its research and development plans, the Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2020 will be sufficient to fund its cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this quarterly report. If, at any time, the Company’s prospects for financing its research and development programs decline, the Company may decide to reduce research and development expenses by delaying, discontinuing or reducing its funding of one or more of its research or development programs. Alternatively, the Company might raise funds through strategic collaborations, public or private financings or other arrangements. Such funding, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. These interim results and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”).

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in “Part II - Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (“ASU 2018-18”). The amended guidance precludes presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-18 as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity's expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology currently used today with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-

13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, to provide entities with more flexibility in applying the fair value option on adoption of the credit impairment standard. ASU 2018-19 and ASU 2019-05 have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 and related updates as of January 1, 2023. The Company will assess the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Cost of license revenue includes sublicense fees paid or payable to Mosaic Biosciences, Inc. (“Mosaic”), incurred in the period, under the terms of the Mosaic collaboration agreement, and fees for patent development and protection paid or payable to other third-party vendors corresponding to the recognition of license revenue from the Biogen Agreement. See Notes 7 and 11. Cost of license revenue does not include any allocated overhead costs.

Cost of collaboration revenue includes fees for research and development services paid or payable to Mosaic and other third-party vendors and personnel cost, incurred in the period pertaining to the Biogen Agreement.

Lease

The Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters, located in South San Francisco, CA. The lease term is through April 30, 2023 and there are no stated renewal options. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company has elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the original lease term and not the remaining lease term. The lease includes non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) that are paid separately from rent based on actual costs incurred and therefore were not included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability but are reflected as an expense in the period incurred.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s operating lease expense was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s operating lease expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The present value assumptions used in calculating the present value of the lease payments were as follows:

Stock Based Compensation

2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan

In June 2018, stockholders of the Company approved the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Compensation Committee of the Board, subject to stockholder approval. The 2018 Plan became effective on June 13, 2018. On June 11, 2020, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment previously approved by the Board to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 1,300,000 to a total of 2,800,000 shares. The amendment became effective immediately upon stockholder approval.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach. Due to its limited history as a public company and limited number of sales of its common stock, the Company estimated its volatility considering a number of factors including the use of the volatility of comparable public companies. The expected term of options granted under the Plan, all of which qualify as “plain vanilla” per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, is determined based on the simplified method due to the Company’s limited operating history. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent with the option. This fair value is being amortized ratably over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Collaborations

Pfizer

Pursuant to the termination agreement entered into on December 8, 2016, in connection with the termination of a prior license and development agreement, Pfizer granted the Company an exclusive license to Pfizer’s proprietary rights for manufacturing materials and processes that apply to Factor VIIa variants, CB 813a and marzeptacog alfa (activated) - MarzAA. Pfizer also transferred to the Company the IND application and documentation related to the development, manufacturing and testing of the Factor VIIa products as well as the orphan drug designation. The Company agreed to make contingent cash payments to Pfizer in an aggregate amount up to $17.5 million, payable upon the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones. Following commercialization of any covered product, Pfizer will also receive a single-digit royalty on net product sales on a country-by-country basis for a predefined royalty term. In February 2018, the Company paid Pfizer a $1.0 million milestone payment based on the dosing of the first patient in its Phase 2 study; the amount was recorded as a research and development expense. No payments were made to Pfizer in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

ISU Abxis

In December 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated license agreement with ISU Abxis (the “A&R ISU Abxis Agreement”), which amended and restated its previous license and collaboration agreement with ISU Abxis previously entered

into in September 2013, as subsequently amended in October 2014 and December 2016 (the “Original ISU Abxis Agreement”). Under the A&R ISU Abxis Agreement, ISU Abxis will receive commercialization rights in South Korea to the Company’s engineered Factor IX dalcinonacog alfa - DalcA and the Company will receive clinical development and commercialization rights in the rest of world (excluding South Korea) and manufacturing development and manufacturing rights worldwide (including South Korea). The A&R ISU Abxis Agreement eliminates the profit-sharing arrangement in the Original ISU Abxis Agreement and provides for a low single-digit royalty payment to ISU Abxis, on a country-by-country basis, for net product sales of DalcA by the Company or its affiliates in each country other than South Korea. Pursuant to the A&R ISU Abxis Agreement, the Company will also pay up to an aggregate of $19.5 million in milestone payments to ISU Abxis, including $2.5 million in regulatory and development milestone payments and up to $17.0 million in commercial milestone payments, if the applicable milestones are met. As of June 30, 2020, no milestones have been met.

Biogen

On December 18, 2019, the Company and Biogen International GmbH (“Biogen”) entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Biogen Agreement”), under which the Company granted Biogen a worldwide, royalty-bearing, exclusive, with the right to sublicense, license (“Exclusive License”) to develop and commercialize CB 2782-PEG and other anti-C3 proteases for potential treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”) and other disorders. Pursuant to the Biogen Agreement, the Company will perform certain pre-clinical and manufacturing activities (“Research Services”), and Biogen will be solely responsible for funding the pre-clinical and manufacturing activities and performing IND-enabling activities, worldwide clinical development, and commercialization. The Company will provide the Research Services over a term of thirty months with Biogen having the option to extend the term for two additional twelve-month periods.

Under the terms of the Biogen Agreement, the Company received an up-front payment for the transfer of the Exclusive License (inclusive of certain know-how) of $15.0 million in January 2020. The Company is eligible to receive development milestones and sales milestones of up to $340.0 million. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties in the range of single-digit to low double-digit percentage rates of annual net sales on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis. The Company will also receive reimbursements for costs associated with the performance of the Research Services.

The Company determined that the performance obligations under the Biogen Agreement were the Exclusive License and the Research Services. For the Exclusive License, the Company used the residual approach in determining the standalone selling price, or SSP, which includes the upfront payments, milestones and royalties. For the Research Services, the Company used the historical pricing approach for determining the SSP, which includes the reimbursement of personnel and out-of-pocket costs.

The Biogen Agreement will continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the first product in a country, unless terminated earlier by either party as specified under the agreement.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized the $15.0 million in license revenue upon the transfer of the Exclusive License and the related know-how, and $0.1 million in license revenue for reimbursable out-of-pocket costs incurred.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in collaboration revenue for reimbursable out-of-pocket and personnel costs incurred related to research services.

On October 24, 2017, the Company announced a strategic research collaboration with Mosaic to develop intravitreal anti-complement factor C3 products for the treatment of dry AMD and other retinal diseases. Dr. Usman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s board of directors, and Mr. Lawlor, a member of the Company’s board of directors, were also members of the board of directors of Mosaic. On December 21, 2018, the Company amended its collaboration agreement with Mosaic to, among other things, include certain additional products. Pursuant to the Mosaic collaboration agreement, as amended, the Company and Mosaic co-funded certain research. Expenses related to the collaboration were $1.3 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expenses related to the collaboration were $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The amount incurred in 2020 is fully reimbursable under the Biogen Agreement, see Note 7.

On December 18, 2019, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Mosaic collaboration agreement following completion of the co-funded research. Pursuant to the second amendment, any future services provided by Mosaic will be performed on a fee-for-service basis.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. These interim results and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”).

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in “Part II - Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (“ASU 2018-18”). The amended guidance precludes presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-18 as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity's expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology currently used today with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-

13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, to provide entities with more flexibility in applying the fair value option on adoption of the credit impairment standard. ASU 2018-19 and ASU 2019-05 have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 and related updates as of January 1, 2023. The Company will assess the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Cost of License and Collaboration Revenue

Cost of License and Collaboration Revenue

Cost of license revenue includes sublicense fees paid or payable to Mosaic Biosciences, Inc. (“Mosaic”), incurred in the period, under the terms of the Mosaic collaboration agreement, and fees for patent development and protection paid or payable to other third-party vendors corresponding to the recognition of license revenue from the Biogen Agreement. See Notes 7 and 11. Cost of license revenue does not include any allocated overhead costs.

Cost of collaboration revenue includes fees for research and development services paid or payable to Mosaic and other third-party vendors and personnel cost, incurred in the period pertaining to the Biogen Agreement.
