SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY |
Common Stock:
The Company is authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 22,925,860 issued shares and 22,920,160 outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Share Exchange:
As detailed in Note 1, as part of the Recapitalization Transaction on October 28, 2019, the Company issued 15,069,058 Common Shares in exchange for approximately 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and all the preferred shares of BiomX Israel. The number of shares prior to the Recapitalization Transaction have been retroactively adjusted based on the equivalent number of shares received by the accounting acquirer in the Recapitalization Transaction.
In addition, the Company also agreed to issue the following number of additional shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, to shareholders on a pro rata basis, subject to the Company's achievement of the conditions specified below following the recapitalization transaction (all with respect to the Company's common shares traded on the NYSE):
Preferred Stock:
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors.
In 2015, the board of directors of BiomX Israel approved a plan (original option plan) for the allocation of options to employees, service providers, and officers (the "2015 Plan"). The options represented a right to purchase 1 Ordinary Share of the BiomX Israel in consideration of the payment of an exercise price. Also, the options were granted in accordance with the "capital gains route" under section 102 and section 3(i) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance and section 409A of the Israeli Internal Revenue Code.
The original option plan was adjusted in 2019 following the Recapitalization Transaction on October 28, 2019. Following the Recapitalization Transaction, each outstanding option entitles its holder to purchase 1 Common Stock share of the Company. As a result, the number of options and exercise price per share were adjusted in a technical manner such that there was no change in the fair value of the awards under the adjusted option plan. The number of outstanding options and exercise prices in this Note have been restated to reflect the adjusted option plan. As of March 31, 2020, there are no shares remaining for issuance under the original option plan.
During 2019, the Board approved the grant of 704,669 options without consideration to 22 employees and 79,630 options without consideration to 2 consultants. 527,716 of the options granted are to the executive officers of the Company. Option were granted under the 2015 plan.
During 2019, 74,581 options were exercised to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.34 per share.
Certain senior employees are entitled to full acceleration of their unvested options upon the occurrence of cumulative two certain events.
The Company adopted a new incentive plan in 2019 (the "2019 Plan") to grant 1,000 options, exercisable to Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. On January 1, 2020 number of options available to grant was increased by 914,741 options.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the 2019 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the total number of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may act prior to January 1 of a given year to provide that there will be no January 1 increase for such year or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of Common Stock than provided herein. On January 1, 2020, there were 915,741 shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.
On March 25, 2020, the Board approved the grant of 814,700 options without consideration to 65 employees, one consultant, four senior officers (one of whom is a consultant) and six directors under the 2019 Incentive Plan. Options were granted at an exercise price of $ 6.21 per share with vesting periods ranging from three to four years. Directors and Senior officers are entitled to full acceleration of their unvested options upon the occurrence of cumulative two certain events. As of March 31, 2020, there are 101,041 shares available for issuance under the 2019 plan.
The fair value of each option was estimated as of the date of grant or reporting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using the following assumptions:
The cost of the benefit embodied in the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on their fair value as at the grant date, is estimated to be approximately $3.6 million. These amounts will be recognized in statements of operations over the vesting period.
Warrants:
As of March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company had the following outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock as follows:
236,552 warrants were fully vested and exercisable on the date of their issuance. The remainder of the warrants will vest and become exercisable subject to achievement of certain milestones specified in the agreement as follows:
The Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a "cashless basis," as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Common Stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.
