Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Standards
|
Our accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. Our consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at December 31, 2019, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of Plus Therapeutics, Inc., and our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes therein included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020.
On March 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset and Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Lorem Purchase Agreement”) with Lorem Vascular Pte. Ltd. (“Lorem”), pursuant to which, among other things, Lorem agreed to purchase the Company’s UK subsidiary, Cytori Ltd. (the “UK Subsidiary”), and the Company’s cell therapy assets, excluding such assets used in Japan or relating to the Company’s contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”). Both the Company and Lorem made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Lorem Purchase Agreement. The transaction was completed on April 24, 2019 and the Company received $4.0 million of cash proceeds, of which $1.7 million was used to pay down principal, interest and fees under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 29, 2015 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) (Note 5), with Oxford Finance, LLC (“Oxford”).
On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset and Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Shirahama Purchase Agreement”) with Seijirō Shirahama, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Shirahama agreed to purchase the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, Cytori Therapeutics, K.K. (the “Japanese Subsidiary”), and substantially all of the Company’s cell therapy assets used in Japan. Both the Company and Mr. Shirahama made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Shirahama Purchase Agreement. The transaction was completed on April 25, 2019 and the Company received $3.0 million of cash proceeds, of which $1.4 million was used to pay down principal, interest and fees under the Loan and Security Agreement.
Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation and Reverse Stock Split
On July 29, 2019, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name from Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. to Plus Therapeutics, Inc. The Company also changed its trading symbol for its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market to “PSTV”.
On August 5, 2019, following stockholder and Board approval, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “August 2019 Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Amendment), as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a one-for-fifty (1:50) reverse stock split (the “August 2019 Reverse Stock Split”)) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, without any change to its par value. The August 2019 Amendment became effective on the filing date. The August 2019 Reverse Stock Split became effective for trading purposes as of the commencement of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 6, 2019. There was no change in the Company’s Nasdaq ticker symbol, “PSTV,” as a result of the August 2019 Reverse Stock Split. Upon effectiveness, each 50 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one newly issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Company’s 5,000,000 shares of authorized Preferred Stock were not affected by the August 2019 Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the August 2019 Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of common Stock that would have otherwise resulted from the August 2019 Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Outstanding equity awards and the shares available for future grant under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 2014 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and 2015 New Employee Incentive Plan were proportionately reduced (rounded down to the nearest whole share), and the exercise prices of outstanding equity awards were proportionately increased (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) to give effect to the August 2019 Reverse Stock Split.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction in carrying value of the asset. Entities will no longer be permitted to consider the length of time that fair value has been less than amortized cost when evaluating when credit losses should be recognized. This new guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2023 for calendar-year SEC filers that are smaller reporting companies as of the one-time determination date. Early adoption is permitted beginning in 2019. The Company plans to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2023, and it does not expect that adoption of this standard will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 (ASU 2018-13), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The standard is effective for all entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020, which has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, reviewing assets for impairment, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense, valuing warrants, and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods they are determined to be necessary.

Liquidity and Going Concern
|
We incurred net losses of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We have an accumulated deficit of $426.4 million as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, we used net cash of $1.5 million to fund our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To date, these operating losses have been funded primarily from outside sources of invested capital in the Company’s common stock, proceeds raised from the Loan and Security Agreement, and gross profits. We have had, and we will continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our future clinical development programs and other operations. Our inability to raise additional cash would have a material and adverse impact on operations and would cause us to default on our loan.
On August 19, 2019, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that, based on the Company’s stockholders’ deficit of $6.3 million as of June 30, 2019, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, it is no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million.
Based on the Company’s stockholders’ equity of $85,000 as of March 31, 2020, the Company does not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). In April 2020, the Company entered into agreements (the “Warrant Amendments”) with certain holders of the Series U Warrants (the “Amending Warrant Holders”) to amend the terms of the Amending Warrant Holders’ Series U Warrants to, among other things, (i) limit the Company’s obligation to make cash payments to the Amending Warrant Holders upon certain fundamental transactions and (ii) establish an exercise price of $2.25. Subsequent to the Warrant Amendments, the amended Series U warrants are expected to meet the criteria under authoritative guidance to be classified within stockholders’ equity. The Company expects that in April 2020, approximately $4.2 million of warrant liability will be reclassed to the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. In addition, approximately $0.7 million of other income representing change in the fair value of
9
amended warrants from April 1, 2020 to the amendment date will be recorded in the statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ending June 30, 2020.
The Company continues to seek additional capital through strategic transactions and from other financing alternatives. Without additional capital, current working capital will not provide adequate funding to make debt repayments, for research, sales and marketing efforts and product development activities at their current levels. If sufficient capital is not raised, the Company will at a minimum need to significantly reduce or curtail its research and development and other operations, and this would negatively affect its ability to achieve corporate growth goals.
Should the Company fail to raise additional cash from outside sources, this would have a material adverse impact on its operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern.

Fair Value Measurements
|
Fair value measurements are market-based measurements, not entity-specific measurements. Therefore, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We follow a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:
|
•
|
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
•
|
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
|
|
•
|
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in active markets.
|
Warrants issued by the Company in connection with a rights offering originally filed under a Form S-1 registration statement in April 2018 (“Series T Warrants”) and in an underwritten public offering in September 2019 (“Series U Warrants”) are classified as liability instruments. Because some of the inputs to our valuation model are either not observable or are not derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, the warrant liability is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair value of the Series T Warrants as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was determined by using an option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company estimated the fair value of the Series U Warrants with the Black Scholes model. The Series U warrants will be marked to market as of each balance sheet date until they are exercised or upon expiration, with the changes in fair value recorded as non-operating income or loss in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

On May 29, 2015, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 29, 2015, with Oxford (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which it funded an aggregate principal amount of $17.7 million (“Term Loan”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. The Term Loan accrues interest at a floating rate of at least 8.95% per annum, comprised of three-month LIBOR rate with a floor of 1.00% plus 7.95%. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, we were previously required to make interest only payments through June 1, 2016 and thereafter we were required to make payments of principal and accrued interest in equal monthly installments sufficient to amortize the Term Loan through June 1, 2019, the maturity date. On February 23, 2016, we received an acknowledgement and agreement from Oxford related to the positive data on our U.S. ACT-OA clinical trial. As a result, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the period for which we are required to make interest-only payments was extended from July 1, 2016 to January 1, 2017. All unpaid principal and interest with respect to the Term Loan is due and payable in full on June 1, 2019. At maturity of the Term Loan, or earlier repayment in full following voluntary prepayment or upon acceleration, we are required to make a final payment in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $1.1 million. In connection with the Term Loan, on May 29, 2015, we issued to Oxford warrants to purchase an aggregate of 188 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5,175 per share. These warrants became exercisable as of November 30, 2015 and will expire on May 29, 2025 and, following the authoritative accounting guidance, are equity classified and its respective fair value was recorded as a discount to the debt.
In September 2017 and June 2018, the Company entered into two amendments to the Term Loan which extended the interest-only period, and the Company agreed to pay Oxford an amendment fee of $250,000 at the earlier of maturity or acceleration of the loan.
On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Oxford. The Third Amendment extends requires that the Company pay to Oxford, in accordance with its pro rata share of the loans, 75% of all proceeds received (i) from the issuance and sale of unsecured subordinated convertible debt, (ii) in connection with a joint venture, collaboration or other partnering transaction, (iii) in connection with any licenses, (iv) from dividends (other than non-cash dividends from wholly owned subsidiaries) and (v) from the sale of any assets (such requirement, the “Prepayment Requirement”). The Prepayment Requirement does not apply to proceeds from the sale and issuance of the Company’s equity securities, other than convertible debt. The Prepayment Requirement shall apply until an aggregate principle amount of $7.0 million has been paid pursuant to the Prepayment Requirement. However, if less than $7.0 million has been paid pursuant to the
11
Prepayment Requirement on December 31, 2018 then the Company is required to promptly make additional payments until an aggregate principal amount of $7.0 million has been paid.
On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Term Loan with Oxford, which increased the minimum liquidity covenant level from $1.5 million to $2.0 million.
On February and March 2019, the Company entered into a fifth amendment and a sixth amendment to the Term Loan which primarily extended the interest only period to March 29, 2019. On April 29, 2019, the Company entered into a seventh amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Term Loan, pursuant to which, among other things, Oxford agreed to interest only payments starting May 1, 2019, with amortization payments resuming on May 1, 2020. In April 2019, the Company repaid $3.1 million of total principal using the proceeds received from sale of the Company’s former UK and Japan subsidiaries as described in Note 1.
On March 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment of the Loan and Security Agreement (“Ninth Amendment”), pursuant to which Oxford agreed to defer the start date of principal repayment from May 1, 2020 to May 1, 2021. In addition, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, on April 1, 2020, the Company made a $5.0 million paydown of principal upon execution of the Ninth Amendment. After giving effect to this payment, there is $4.3 million of principal outstanding under the Loan Agreement. As a result of this Ninth Amendment, the term of the Term Loan has been extended from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2024. In addition, an amendment fee of $1.3 million will be payable in connection with the Amendment at the earlier of the maturity date, acceleration of the loans and the making of certain prepayments. All other major terms remained consistent.
Under authoritative guidance, the Ninth Amendment does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. In addition, the Company performed a quantitative analysis and determined that the terms of the new debt and original debt instrument are not substantially different. Accordingly, the Ninth Amendment is accounted for as debt modification. A new effective interest that equates the revised cash flows to the carrying amount of the original debt is computed and applied prospectively.
The Term Loan, as amended, is collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired assets, including its intellectual property assets, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended. The intellectual property asset collateral will be released upon the Company achieving certain liquidity level when the total principal outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement is less than $3 million. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the debt covenants under the Loan and Security Agreement.
The Company’s interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method, therefore it is inclusive of non-cash amortization in the amount of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, related to the amortization of the debt discount, capitalized loan costs, and accretion of final payment.
The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, contains customary indemnification obligations and customary events of default, including, among other things, our failure to fulfill certain obligations under the Term Loan, as amended, and the occurrence of a material adverse change, which is defined as a material adverse change in our business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise), a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the loan. In the event of default by the Company or a declaration of material adverse change by its lender, under the Term Loan, the lender would be entitled to exercise its remedies thereunder, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which we may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the Term Loan, which could materially harm the Company’s financial condition. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not received any notification or indication from Oxford to invoke the material adverse change clause. However, due to the Company’s current cash flow position and the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the entire principal amount of the Term Loan is presented as short-term. The Company will continue to evaluate the debt classification on a quarterly basis and evaluate for reclassification in the future should its financial condition improve.
Development Revenue
The Company earns revenue for performing tasks under research and development agreements with governmental agencies like BARDA which is outside of the scope of the new revenue recognition guidance. Revenues derived from reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses for research costs associated with government contracts are recorded as government contracts and other within development revenues. Government contract revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the reimbursement. The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expense in our statements of operations.
The BARDA contract was terminated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services effectively in December 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.1 million in development revenue and related costs related to unreimbursed costs prior to termination of the contract.

Basic per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share data is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include, if dilutive, the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding as calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares were related to outstanding but unexercised options, multiple series of preferred stock, and warrants for all periods presented.
The following were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the periods presented because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Leases
At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time. If both criteria are met, the Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on the rate implicit in the lease or an incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease.
The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its operating lease right-of-use assets as long-term assets. Right-of-use assets for financing leases are recorded within property and equipment, net in the balance sheet. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company leases laboratory, office and storage facilities in San Antonio, Texas, under operating lease agreements that expire in 2028. The Company also leases certain office space in Austin, Texas under a month-to-month operating lease agreement. In addition, the Company leases certain equipment under various operating and finance leases. The lease agreements generally provide for periodic rent increases, and renewal and termination options. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Payments for the transfer of goods or services such as common area maintenance and utilities represent non-lease components.

Other commitments
The Company has entered into agreements with various research organizations for pre-clinical and clinical development studies, which have provisions for cancellation. Under the terms of these agreements, the vendors provide a variety of services including conducting research, recruiting and enrolling patients, monitoring studies and data analysis. Payments under these agreements typically include fees for services and reimbursement of expenses. The timing of payments due under these agreements is estimated based on current study progress. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had clinical research study obligations of $0.9 million, all of which is expected to be paid within a year. Should the timing of the clinical trials change, the timing of the payment of these obligations would also change.
The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to legal proceedings. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, negotiations between affected parties and governmental actions. Management assesses the probability of loss for such contingencies and accrues a liability and/or discloses the relevant circumstances, as appropriate. Management believes that any liability to the Company that may arise as a result of currently pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations as a whole.

Warrants
Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 originally filed on April 27, 2018, as amended, which became effective on July 17, 2018, and related prospectus (as supplemented), the Company registered and distributed to holders of its common stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, at no charge, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 20,000 units each consisting of one share of Series C Preferred Stock and 1,050 warrants for $1,000 per unit (“Series T Warrants”). Pursuant to the 2018 Rights Offering, which closed on July 25, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,723 units, resulting in total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.7 million. The exercise price of the Series T Warrants was further adjusted such that every 50 warrants can be exercised into one share of common stock for $3.2132, and the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock was reduced from $7.50 to $3.2132.

13. COVID-19 Pandemic and CARES Act
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. COVID-19 has presented substantial public health and economic challenges and is affecting economies, financial markets and business operations around the world. International and U.S. governmental authorities in impacted regions are taking action in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, including issuing varying forms of “stay-at-home” orders, and restricting business functions outside of one’s home. In response, the Company has put restrictions on employee travel and working from its executive offices with many employees continuing their work remotely. While the Company has implemented additional health and safety precautions and protocols in response to the pandemic and government guidelines, the Company has not yet experienced a significant impact on its business and operations. However, the Company may experience disruptions that could adversely impact its business operations as well as its preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company is currently continuing the clinical trials it has underway in sites across the U.S., and the Company expects that COVID-19 precautions may directly or indirectly impact the timeline for some of its clinical trials. Some of the Company’s clinical trial sites, including those located in areas severely impacted by the pandemic, have placed new patient enrollment into clinical trials on hold or, for patients traveling from out-of-state, have implemented a 14-day self-quarantine before appointments. The Company considered the impacts of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used to prepare its financial statements and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at March 31, 2020. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact its business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s social security payments, net operating loss utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property (QIP). The CARES Act had no material impact on the Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
14. Subsequent Events
Between April 17 and April 21, 2020 and as disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filing on April 23, 2020, the Company entered in revised warrant agreements with the holders of 3,372,000 series U warrants. In return for reducing the strike price of the warrants to $2.25 per share, the warrant holders agreed to amend the settlement provisions upon fundamental transactions such that the warrants would meet the requirements to be classified within stockholders’ equity. The Company expects that in April 2020, approximately $4.2 million of warrant liability will be reclassed to the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. In
17
addition, approximately $0.7 million of other income representing change in the fair value of amended warrants from April 1, 2020 to the amendment date will be recorded in the statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ending June 30, 2020.
In connection with the amendment of the Company’s Series U warrants, and in accordance with the terms of the Series T warrants, the exercise price of the Company’s Series T warrants was adjusted such that every 50 Series T warrants can be exercised into one share of common stock for $2.25.
On April 1, 2020, the Company made a principal repayment of $5.0 million and associated final payment fee of $308,000, in accordance with the Ninth Amendment.
On May 7, 2020, in accordance with the terms of the NanoTx License Agreement, the Company paid an upfront payment of $400,000 in cash and issued 230,769 shares of its common stock to NanoTx.
