| Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Due to the Company’s net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, all of its outstanding stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs), and warrants to purchase common stock (Common Warrants) are considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. Accordingly, the treasury method was not used in determining the number of anti-dilutive stock options, RSUs, PSUs, or Common Warrants. |
| Warrants | Warrants The Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock (Pre-Funded Warrants) in a follow-on offering on February 23, 2022 (the Follow-On Offering). The Pre-Funded Warrants, which were exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock for $0.0001 per share, were exercised in full on May 4, 2022, and subsequently settled with the counterparty. While outstanding, the Pre-Funded Warrants were considered equity instruments and reported in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants were included in the determination of the Company’s loss per share. The Company also issued Common Warrants in the Follow-On Offering. The Common Warrants expire on August 23, 2027, and are exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock for $14.10 per share, as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The Common Warrants have been classified as a liability because they include a put option election available to their holder that is contingently exercisable if the Company enters into a fundamental transaction (Fundamental Transaction). Pursuant to the terms of the Common Warrants, a Fundamental Transaction occurs if (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person in which the Company is not the surviving entity, (ii) the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which holders of the Company’s Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (the Fundamental Change Put). If the Fundamental Change Put is exercised by the holder of a Common Warrant, holder may elect to receive either the consideration of the Fundamental Transaction or put the Common Warrant back to the Company in exchange for cash, based on terms and timing specified in the Common Warrant agreement. If the Fundamental Change Put option is exercised, the Company is required to pay cash to the holder in an amount as determined by the Black Scholes pricing model, with assumptions determined in accordance with the terms of the Common Warrants. The Company believes that the merger with Cibus, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, does not qualify as a Fundamental Transaction. Common Warrants are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company reports the changes in fair value of the Common Warrants in
non-operating income (expenses) in its consolidated statements of operations. |
| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and in July 2018, ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements (collectively, the New Lease Standard). The New Lease Standard requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The New Lease Standard establishes a right-of-use The Company adopted the New Lease Standard as of January 1, 2022, using the transition method which does not require revisions to comparative periods. The Company elected to implement the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the New Lease Standard, which among other things, allows it to carry forward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and it also made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s adoption of the New Lease Standard required it to remove the previously reported amounts for land, buildings, and equipment associated with its headquarters and laboratory facility lease as well as the associated liability. The Company assessed the elements of its lease agreement and upon adoption, recorded an operating lease associated with the sale leaseback of the land component of the lease, and a second operating lease associated with the building component of the lease. The Company recorded operating lease assets and liabilities of $14.1 million within its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The New Lease Standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. The $0.8 million cumulative effect of the adoption of the New Lease Standard was recorded to stockholders’ equity. See Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s leases. |
| Reverse Stock Split | Reverse Stock Split In an effort to regain compliance with the listing rule of the Nasdaq Capital market requiring that the bid price of the Company’s common stock be $
1.00 per share or higher (the Bid Price Rule), the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the Reverse Stock Split) of its common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on April 24, 2023, pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Reverse Stock Split was reflected on the Nasdaq Capital Market beginning with the opening of trading on April 25, 2023. The par value and authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock of the Company were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this Reverse Stock S plit
fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and instead, fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share number. |
