BEST EFFORTS OFFERING OF UP TO 2,000,000 SHARES OF

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK

AND UP TO

40,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK INTO WHICH THE SERIES A PREFERRED
STOCK MAY CONVERT

 

IntelGenx Technologies Corp., which we refer to as "Company", "IntelGenx", "we", "us", and "our", is offering up to 2,000,000 shares of series A convertible cumulative preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, which we refer to as the Series A Preferred Stock, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $20,000,000. There is a minimum initial investment amount per investor of $750 for the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock being offered will rank, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, which we refer to as the Common Stock. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.20 per share each quarter, provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.30 per quarter. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is $15.00 per share. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distributions to its stockholders, before any payment is made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or other classes of shares of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends and dividends to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares. After the payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the amount so payable to them as above provided, they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets or property of the Company. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, for cash, at a call price equal to 150% of the original issue price of our Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares. The Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights (except for certain limited matters described further in this offering circular) and each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into twenty (20) shares of our Common Stock at the option of the holder. The offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part also qualifies up to 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock. See "Description of Securities" beginning on page 54 for additional details.

There is no existing public trading market for the Series A Preferred Stock and we do not intend to list the Series A Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter quotation system. Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market (which we sometimes refer to as "OTCQB") under the symbols "IGX" and "IGXT," respectively. On February 13, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock, as reported on the TSX, was C$0.19 per share.


The offering price of the Series A Preferred Stock may not reflect the fair market value of our Series A Preferred Stock after this offering.

Our Company

Company Background

We are a drug delivery company established in 2003 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our focus is on the contract development and manufacturing of novel oral thin film products for the pharmaceutical market. More recently, we have made the strategic decision to enter the Canadian cannabis market with a non-prescription cannabis infused oral film that launched in early 2021 and in 2020 we made the decision to enter the psychedelic market. As a full-service contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO"), we are offering partners a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical research and development ("R&D"), clinical monitoring, regulatory support, tech transfer, manufacturing scale-up and commercial manufacturing.

Our business strategy is to leverage our proprietary drug delivery technologies and develop pharmaceutical products with tangible benefits for patients, for our partners and, once a developed product launches, retain the exclusive manufacturing rights.

Managing our project pipeline is a key Company success factor. We have identified three focus areas; psychedelics, cannabis and animal health where we believe we can establish a leadership position with our drug delivery technology. We have undertaken a strategy under which we will work with pharmaceutical companies in order to apply our oral film technology to pharmaceutical products for which patent protection is nearing expiration, a strategy which is often referred to as "lifecycle management." Under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (the "FDCA") ("Section 505(b)(2)"), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") may grant market exclusivity for a term of up to three years following approval of a listed drug that contains previously approved active ingredients but is approved in a new dosage, dosage form, route of administration or a combination.

The Section 505(b)(2) pathway is also the regulatory approach to be followed if an applicant intends to file an application for a product containing a drug that is already approved by the FDA for a certain indication and for which the applicant is seeking approval for a new indication or for a new use, the approval of which is required to be supported by new clinical trials, other than bioavailability studies. We have implemented a strategy under which we actively look for such so-called "repurposing opportunities" and determine whether our proprietary VersaFilm™ technology adds value to the product. We currently have two such drug repurposing projects in our development pipeline.

We continue to develop the existing products in our pipeline and may also perform R&D on other potential products as opportunities arise.

We have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with the intent to manufacture all of our VersaFilm™ products in-house as we believe that this:


  • represents a profitable business opportunity;
  • will reduce our dependency upon third-party contract manufacturers, thereby protecting our manufacturing process know-how and intellectual property; and
  • allows us to offer our clients and development partners a full service from product conception through to supply of the finished product.

We initiated a project to expand the existing manufacturing facility, the timing of which will be dictated in part by the completion of agreements with our commercial partners.  This expansion might become necessary in order to meet expected production volumes from our commercial partners.  The new facility should create a fourfold increase of our production capacity in addition to offering a one-stop shopping opportunity to our partners and provide better protection of our Intellectual Property.

Technology Platforms

Our main product development efforts are based upon three delivery platform technologies: (1) VersaFilm™, an oral film technology, (2) the VetaFilmTM technology platform for veterinary applications, and (3) DisinteQTM a disintegrating oral film technology.

VersaFilm™ is a drug delivery platform technology that enables the development of oral thin films, improving product performance through:

  • rapid disintegration without the need for water;
  • quicker buccal or sublingual absorption;
  • potential for faster onset of action and increased bioavailability;
  • potential for reduced adverse effects by bypassing first-pass metabolism;
  • easy administration for patients who have problems swallowing tablets or capsules; pediatric and geriatric patients as well as patients who fear choking and/or are suffering from nausea (e.g., nausea resulting from chemotherapy, radiotherapy or any surgical treatment);
  • pleasant taste; and
  • small and thin size, making it convenient for consumers.

Our VersaFilm™ technology consists of a thin (25-35 micron) polymeric film comprised of United States Pharmacopeia components that are approved by the FDA for use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. Derived from the edible film technology used for breath strips and initially developed for the instant delivery of savory flavors to food substrates, the VersaFilm™ technology is designed to provide a rapid response and improved bioavailability compared to existing conventional tablets. Our VersaFilm™ technology is intended for indications requiring rapid onset of action, such as migraine, opioid dependence, chronic pain, motion sickness, erectile dysfunction, and nausea or for drug that have a low oral bioavailability and require transmucosal absorption.

Our VetaFilm™ platform technology is designed for the application in pets. Dose acceptance and compliance are often a challenge for the care giver which can be overcome with our newly designed VetaFilm™ platform. VetaFilm™ is specifically formulated with flavors that are appealing to pets and to achieve rapid adhesion to the oral mucosa of the pet to achieve compliance.

Our new DISINTEQ™ oral disintegrating film formulations will provide different dissolution characteristics compared to VersaFilm®. Instead of quickly dissolving in the oral cavity, DISINTEQ™ formulations disintegrate at a controlled rate. This will allow a slower release of the drug into the oral cavity thereby avoiding saturation of the oral mucosal membranes and increasing mucosal absorption.


Product Opportunities that provide Tangible Patient Benefits

In addition to our three key strategic areas, we will offer our services to develop oral film products leveraging our VersaFilm™ technology that provide tangible patient benefits versus existing drug delivery forms. Patients with difficulties swallowing medication, pediatrics or geriatrics may benefit from oral films due to the ease of use. Similarly, we are working on oral films to improve bio-availability and/or response time versus existing drugs and thereby reducing side effects. 

Development of New Drug Delivery Technologies

The rapidly disintegrating film technology contained in our VersaFilm™, is an example of our efforts to develop alternate technology platforms. As we work with various partners on different products, we seek opportunities to develop new proprietary technologies.

Recent Developments

Amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation

On November 28, 2023, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment (the "Certificate of Amendment") to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 470,000,000 to 600,000,000 and to increase the total authorized shares of the Company's common stock at $0.00001 par value, from 450,000,000 shares to 580,000,000 shares. Following this approval, the Company filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 28, 2023.

Departure of Certain Directors and Appointment of New Directors

On December 2, 2023, the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company received the resignations of Frank Stegert and Srinivas Rao, who were the Board designees pursuant the purchaser rights agreement by and between the Corporation and atai.

On December 2, 2023, the Board appointed Sahil Kirpekar, M.D. and Ryan Barrett to serve as the new atai Board designees to serve until the 2024 annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Dr. Kirpekar has served as atai's Chief Business Officer since 2022 and Mr. Barrett has served as atai's Senior Vice President and General Counsel since August 2020.

On December 18, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into development and licensing agreements with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Covenant Animal Health Partners, LLC.  Under the terms of the development agreement, Covenant Animal Health will fund the development and manufacturing of a VetaFilm®-based drug. The licensing agreement will give Covenant Animal Health exclusive rights to exploit the VetaFilm®-based drug in the field for non-human applications. In return, IntelGenx will receive royalties on worldwide net sales of the VetaFilm®-based drug.  IntelGenx will manufacture the VetaFilm®-based drug on a worldwide basis for clinical development, and the parties anticipate entering into a subsequent commercial supply agreement, pursuant to which IntelGenx will supply the VetaFilm®-based drug to Covenant Animal Health.

Unit Offering

On August 31, 2023, the Company announced the closing of the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "atai Offering") of our units ("the Units") from atai for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$3 million, including US$750,000 to be received by the Company was subject to certain conditions including shareholder approval. Pursuant to the atai Offering, atai, a significant shareholder and partner of the Company, subscribed for 2,220 Units for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of US$2,220,000. In addition, atai committed to subscribe for an additional 750 Units for additional aggregate proceeds to the Company of US$750,000 (the "Subsequent atai Subscription"). On December 5, 2023, following shareholder approvals, the Company closed on the Subsequent atai Subscription for aggregate gross proceeds of US$750,000 on the same terms as the atai Offering.


Our Competition

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and is subject to the rapid emergence of new technologies, governmental regulations, healthcare legislation, availability of financing, patent litigation and other factors. Many of our competitors, including Aquestive (formerly Monosol Rx), Tesa-Labtec GmbH, Collegium Pharmaceutical Inc. (formerly BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.) and LTS Lohmann Therapy Systems Corp., have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, marketing, legal and other resources than we have. In addition, many of our competitors have significantly greater experience than we have in conducting clinical trials of pharmaceutical products, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of products, and marketing and selling products that have been approved. We expect that we will be subject to competition from numerous other companies that currently operate or are planning to enter the markets in which we compete.

The key factors affecting the development and commercialization of our drug delivery products are likely to include, among other factors:

 the regulatory requirements;

 the safety and efficacy of our products;

 the relative speed with which we can develop products;

 generic competition for any product that we develop;

 our ability to defend our existing intellectual property and to broaden our intellectual property and technology base;

 our ability to differentiate our products;

 our ability to develop products that can be manufactured on a cost effective basis;

 our ability to manufacture our products in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") and any other regulatory requirements; and

 our ability to obtain financing.

In order to establish ourselves as a viable full service CDMO partner, we plan to continue to invest in our R&D activities, analytical testing and in our manufacturing technology expertise, in order to further strengthen our technology base and to develop the ability to manufacture products based on our drug delivery technologies at competitive costs.


Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that our key competitive strengths include:

 our comprehensive service portfolio;

 our ability to swiftly develop products through to regulatory approval;

 the versatility of our drug delivery technologies, and

 our highly qualified, dedicated professional team.

Our Growth Strategy

Our primary growth strategy is based on three pillars: (1) out-licensing commercial rights of our existing pipeline products, (2) partnering on contract development and manufacturing projects leveraging our various technology platforms, and (3) expanding our current pipeline through:

 identifying lifecycle management opportunities for existing market-leading pharmaceutical products,

 developing oral film products that provide tangible patient benefits,

 development of new drug delivery technologies,

 entering the veterinary market with VetaFilm™,

 repurposing existing drugs for new indications, and

 developing generic drugs where high technology barriers to entry exist in reproducing branded films.


Our Risks and Challenges

Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by similar companies. Our ability to realize our business objectives and execute our strategies is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following:

 

We have a history of losses and our revenues may not be sufficient to sustain our operations;

 

 

 

 

We may need additional capital to fulfill our business strategies. Failure to obtain such capital would adversely affect our business.

 

 

 

 

We are dependent on business partners to conduct clinical trials of, obtain regulatory approvals for, and market and sell our products.

 

 

 

 

We face competition in our industry, and several of our competitors have substantially greater experience and resources than we do.

 

 

 

 

The laws, regulations and guidelines applicable to cannabinoid-based products in Canada and in other countries may change in ways that impact our ability to continue our business as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted.

 

 

 

 

We rely upon third-party manufacturers, which puts us at risk for supplier business interruptions.

 

 

 

 

We have established our own manufacturing facility for the manufacture of VersaFilm™ products, which required considerable financial investment. If we are unsuccessful to manufacture our VersaFilm™ products adequately and at an acceptable cost, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

 

 

 

We have no timely ability to replace our future VersaFilm™ manufacturing capabilities.

 

 

 

 

We depend on a limited number of suppliers for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients ("API"). Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the costs and time required to validate a second source of supply. Changes in API suppliers must usually be approved through a Prior Approval Supplement by the FDA.

 

 

 

 

We are subject to extensive government regulation including the requirement of approval before our products may be marketed. Even if we obtain marketing approval, our products will be subject to ongoing regulatory review.

 

 

 

 

We may not be able to expand or enhance our existing product lines with new products limiting our ability to grow.

 

 

 

 

The market may not be receptive to products incorporating our drug delivery technologies.

 

 

 

 

Risks related to the development of compounds for the prevention or treatment of mental health diseases or disorders, including compounds that have psychedelic, entactogenic and/or oneirophrenic properties.

 

 

 

 

Certain compounds may contain controlled substances, the use of which may generate public controversy.

 

 

 

 

The war in Ukraine and Russia may have a material adverse impact on us and our companies.

 

 

 

 

The war in Israel and Gaza may have a material adverse impact on us and our companies.

 

 

 

 

Our shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible may be subject to substantial dilution of ownership and voting interest after any potential future atai investment.

 

 

 

 

Atai is in a position to exert substantial influence on us and the interests pursued by atai could differ from the interests of our other shareholders, and if it acquires a majority of our shares of Common Stock, it will be able to approve most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval by written consent.

 

 

 

 

The Strategic Development Agreement may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of significant future revenues.

 

 

 

 

If we default under the Loan Agreement, all or a portion of our assets could be subject to forfeiture.




 

If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively.

 

 

 

 

If we infringe on the rights of third parties, we may not be able to sell our products, and we may have to defend against litigation and pay damages.

 

 

 

 

Our controlled release products that are generic versions of branded controlled release products that are covered by one or more patents may be subject to litigation, which could delay FDA approval and commercial launch of our products. We are also subject to litigation and other legal proceedings and may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation.

 

 

 

 

If we are unable to protect our information systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data or breaches of security, our operations could be disrupted, we may suffer financial losses and our reputation may be damaged.

 

 

 

 

The price of our Common Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations.

 

 

 

 

Our Common Stock is a high risk investment.

 

 

 

 

The application of the "penny stock" rules to our Common Stock could limit the trading and liquidity of our Common Stock, adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and increase stockholder transaction costs to sell those shares.

 

 

 

 

There is no public market for certain Company warrants, which could limit their respective trading price or a holder's ability to sell them.

 

 

 

 

There is no public market for the Company's Notes, which could limit their respective trading price or a holder's ability to sell them.

 

 

 

 

Our failure to avoid events of default as defined in the Notes could require us to redeem such Notes at a loss.

 

 

 

 

We may incur losses associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

 

 

 

 

If we are the subject of securities analyst reports or if any securities analyst downgrades our Common Stock or our sector, the price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

 

 

 

We became public by means of a reverse merger, and as a result we are subject to the risks associated with the prior activities of the public company with which we merged.

 

 

 

 

The Series A Preferred Stock being offered will not be publicly tradable following the Offering and there is no assurance that there will ever be a public market for the Series A Preferred Stock at any time.

 

 

 

 

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

 

 

 

 

Management has broad discretion in using the proceeds from this offering.

 

 

 

 

You will not have a vote or influence on the management of our company.

 

 

 

 

We may amend our business policies without stockholder approval.

 

 

 

 

Our Board has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to the Series A Preferred Stock and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.




 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay cash dividends.

 

 

 

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to redeem our Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

 

We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

 

 

We may not raise sufficient funds to implement our business plan.

 

 

 

 

We are not required to raise any minimum amount in this offering before we may utilize the funds received in this offering. Investors should be aware that there is no assurance that any monies beside their own will be invested in this offering.

 

 

 

 

This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis without a minimum and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy if the $20,000,000 maximum is not sold.

 

 

 

 

We may terminate this offering at any time during the offering period.

In addition, we face other risks and uncertainties that may materially affect our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. You should consider the risks discussed in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this offering circular before investing in our Series A Preferred Stock.

The Offering

Securities being
offered:

 

Up to 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") at an offering price of $10.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $20,000,000.


Terms of
Series A
Preferred
Stock:
 

Ranking - The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock will not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

 

 

 

 

Dividend Rate and Payment Dates - Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock being offered will be cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.20 per share each quarter, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8.00% of the $10.00 purchase price per share; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.30 per quarter, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 12% of the $10.00 purchase price per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. Dividends may be paid in cash or, at the Company's discretion and subject to the prior approval of the TSX, in kind in the form of Common Stock at a price equal to the five-day volume-weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock on the TSX ending on the second trading day before the date selected by the Company for the payment of such dividends. In addition, the payment of dividends in kind in the form of Common Stock may require approval from the Company’s holders of shares of Common Stock in certain instances, in accordance with requirements of the TSX. See “Description of Securities - Preferred Stock - Series A Preferred Stock - Dividend Rate and Payment Dates” beginning on page 54 for additional details.

 

 

 

 

Liquidation Preference on Other Classes of Shares - The liquidation preference for each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is $15.00. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distributions to its stockholders, before any payment is made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or other classes of shares of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends and dividends to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares. After the payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the amount so payable to them as above provided, they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets or property of the Company.

 

 

 

 

Conversion - At any time our Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into twenty (20) shares of our Common Stock at the option of the holder. The shares of our Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock will be qualified in this offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing conversion rights, there are certain limitations on the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with requirements of the TSX. See “Description of Securities - Preferred Stock - Series A Preferred Stock - Conversion Rights” beginning on page 54 for additional details.

 

 

 

 

Company Call and Stockholder Put Options - Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, for cash, at a call price equal to 150% of the original issue price of our Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares. Such price will be $15.00 per share.

 

 

 

 

Further Issuances - The shares of our Series A Preferred Stock have no maturity date, and we will not be required to redeem shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at any time except as otherwise described above under the caption "Company Call and Stockholder Put Options."  Accordingly, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our call right or a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock exercises his put right.




  

Voting Rights - We may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend our certificate of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Otherwise, holders of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.

 

Conversion to
Common:

 

Each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to convert any of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of our Common Stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into our Common Stock at the conversion rate of 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock to 20 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock. Should the Company issue a redemption notice any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock initiated after the redemption notice date shall occur on or prior to the fifth (5th) day prior to the redemption date, as may have been fixed in any redemption notice with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have a history of losses and our revenues may not be sufficient to sustain our operations.

 

 

 

 

We may need additional capital to fulfill our business strategies. Failure to obtain such capital would adversely affect our business.

 

 

 

 

We may need to raise additional funds to finance our operations and our expansion and growth plans; we may not be able to do so when necessary, and/or the terms of any financings may not be advantageous to us.

 

 

 

 

We face competition in our industry, and several of our competitors have substantially greater experience and resources than we do.

 

 

 

 

The laws, regulations and guidelines applicable to cannabinoid-based products in Canada and in other countries may change in ways that impact our ability to continue our business as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted.

 

 

 

 

We rely upon third-party manufacturers, which puts us at risk for supplier business interruptions.

 

 

 

 

We have established our own manufacturing facility for the manufacture of VersaFilm™ products, which required considerable financial investment. If we are unsuccessful to manufacture our VersaFilm™ products adequately and at an acceptable cost, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

 

 

 

We have no timely ability to replace our future VersaFilm™ manufacturing capabilities.

 

 

 

 

We depend on a limited number of suppliers for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients ("API"). Generally, only a single source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the costs and time required to validate a second source of supply. Changes in API suppliers must usually be approved through a Prior Approval Supplement by the FDA.

 

 

 

 

We are subject to extensive government regulation including the requirement of approval before our products may be marketed. Even if we obtain marketing approval, our products will be subject to ongoing regulatory review.

 

 

 

 

We may not be able to expand or enhance our existing product lines with new products limiting our ability to grow.




 

The market may not be receptive to products incorporating our drug delivery technologies.

 

 

 

 

Risks related to the development of compounds for the prevention or treatment of mental health diseases or disorders, including compounds that have psychedelic, entactogenic and/or oneirophrenic properties.

 

 

 

 

Certain compounds may contain controlled substances, the use of which may generate public controversy.

 

 

 

 

The war in Ukraine and Russia may have a material adverse impact on us and our companies.

     
 

The war in Israel and Gaza may have a material adverse impact on us and our companies.

Risks Related to the atai Investment

 

The shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible may be subject to substantial dilution of ownership and voting interest after any potential future atai investment.

 

 

 

 

Atai is in a position to exert substantial influence on us and the interests pursued by atai could differ from the interests of our other shareholders, and if it acquires a majority of our shares of Common Stock, it will be able to approve most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval by written consent.

 

 

 

 

The Strategic Development Agreement may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of significant future revenues.

 

 

 

 

If we default under the Loan Agreement, all or a portion of our assets could be subject to forfeiture.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of the Series A Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock being offered will not be publicly tradable following the Offering and there is no assurance that there will ever be a public market for the Series A Preferred Stock at any time.

Although our Common Stock currently trades on the TSX and is quoted on the OTCQB, there is no public trading market for our Series A Preferred Stock at this time and we cannot assure you that any market for our Series A Preferred Stock will ever develop. We have no current plans to pursue a public market for our Series A Preferred Stock, and we cannot assure you that we will ever register the Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not readily marketable, and their value may be subject to adverse conditions that are impossible to predict. There can be no assurance that if it becomes necessary to sell or transfer our Series A Preferred Stock, a buyer could be found, or a suitable purchase price could be obtained. With no public trading market, it may be extremely difficult or impossible for you to resell your Series A Preferred Stock if you should desire to do so. In addition, there can be no assurance that, in the event you are able to find a purchaser for your Series A Preferred Stock, that you will be able to resell such securities at the price you paid in this offering. Therefore, prospective investors who require liquidity in their investment should not rely upon the Series A Preferred Stock being offered under this offering as a short-term component of their return on investment.

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for our shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our Board has determined the offering price in its sole discretion. The fixed offering price for our shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for our shares may not be supported by the current value of our company or our assets at any particular time.


Management has broad discretion in using the proceeds from this offering.

We plan to use the proceeds from this offering for product launches, debt repayment as well as working capital. We have broad discretion in the application of proceeds and the timing of the expenditure of the proceeds of this offering. If we fail to apply the proceeds effectively, we may not be successful in implementing our business plan. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate all of the economic, financial or other information upon which we base our decisions.

You will not have a vote or influence on the management of our company.

All decisions with respect to the management of our company will be made exclusively by the officers, directors or employees of our company. While certain decisions require the approval of holders of shares of Common Stock, you, as an investor in our Series A Preferred Stock, have very limited voting rights and will have no ability to vote on issues of company management and will not have the right or power to take part in the management of our company and will not be represented on the Board of our company. Accordingly, no person should purchase our Series A Preferred Stock unless he or she is willing to entrust all aspects of management to our company.

We may amend our business policies without stockholder approval.

Our Board determines our growth, investment, financing, capitalization, borrowing, operations and distributions policies. Although our Board has no intention at present to change or reverse any of these policies, they may be amended or revised without notice to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, holders of our series A Preferred stock will not have any control over changes in our policies. We cannot assure you that changes in our policies will serve fully the interests of all holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Our Board has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to the Series A Preferred Stock and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.

Our Certificate of Incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our Board has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. As a result, our Board could authorize the issuance of additional series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of other securities and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our other securities, including the Series A Preferred Stock.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay cash dividends.

Our ability to pay cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations and the operations of our operating businesses. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and may only be able to issue dividends in shares of our Common Stock.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to redeem our Series A Preferred Stock.

Our ability to redeem on our Series A Preferred Stock is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations and the operations of our operating businesses or from raising additional capital. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to redeem our Series A Preferred Stock and may only be able to offer investors the ability to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock.


We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets before distributions to our stockholders. Any preferred securities, if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation that is senior to the preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.

Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, we can change our leverage strategy from time to time without approval of holders of our Preferred Stock or Common Stock, which could materially adversely affect the value of our Preferred Stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock.

We are not required to raise any minimum amount in this offering before we may utilize the funds received in this offering. Investors should be aware that there is no assurance that any monies beside their own will be invested in this offering.

Because there is no minimum amount of subscriptions which we must receive before accepting funds in the Offering, you will not be assured that we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or satisfy its working capital requirements and will bear the risk that we will be unable to secure the funds necessary to meet our current and anticipated financial obligations.

This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis without a minimum and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy if the $20,000,000 maximum is not sold.

If you invest in our Series A Preferred Stock and less than all of the offered shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are sold, the risk of losing your entire investment will be increased. We are offering our Series A Preferred Stock on a "best efforts" basis without a minimum, and we can give no assurance that all of the offered Series A Preferred Stock will be sold. If less than $20,000,000 of Series A Preferred Stock shares offered are sold, we may be unable to fund all the intended uses described in this offering circular from the net proceeds anticipated from this offering without obtaining funds from alternative sources or using working capital that we generate. Alternative sources of funding may not be available to us at what we consider to be a reasonable cost, and the working capital generated by us may not be sufficient to fund any uses not financed by offering net proceeds. No assurance can be given to you that any funds will be invested in this offering other than your own.

We may terminate this offering at any time during the Offering period.

We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time, regardless of the number of shares sold. In the event that we terminate this offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the shares offered hereby, whatever amount of capital that we have raised at that time will have already been utilized by our company and no funds will be returned to subscribers.


USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $ 18,260,000 if the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being offered are sold after deducting the estimated Selling Agent commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

(1) Partial repayment of the principal and accrued interest under the Loan Agreement (as defined below) with atai. atai is an insider and principal shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 21.35% of the shares of Common Stock. The Loan was used for working capital as well as for the development of a N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) oral film product pursuant to IntelGenx’s strategic partnership with atai.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for product launches, debt repayment as well as working capital. We intend to spend the available funds as stated. We will reallocate funds only for sound business reasons. As of the date of this offering circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual use of proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including the factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this offering circular. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There will be no trading market for our Series A Preferred Stock upon issuance and we do not expect any trading market to develop for the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is being sold at par, which we have determined to be $10.00 per share, and it is expected that at some time after the initial closing of this offering we will exercise our right to call the Series A Preferred Stock for redemption , for cash, at a call price equal to 150% of par (i.e., of the original issue price of the Series A Preferred Stock) or that, after the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will exercise their right to put their shares of Series A Preferred Stock to us at 150% of par. Accordingly, the $10.00 price per share of Series A Preferred Stock is arbitrary and represents the amount of investment made by an investor for purposes of determining the redemption price upon a put or call (i.e., the redemption price will be 150% of the purchase price or $15.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock).


DIVIDEND POLICY

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock being offered will be cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.20 per share each quarter, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8.00% of the $10.00 original per share purchase price; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.30 per quarter, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 12% of the $10.00 original per share purchase price. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings. Dividends may be paid in cash or at the Company's discretion and subject to the prior approval of the TSX, in kind in the form of Common Stock at a price equal to the five-day volume-weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock on the TSX ending on the second trading day before the date selected by the Company for the payment of such dividends. In addition, the payment of dividends in kind in the form of Common Stock may require approval from the Company’s holders of shares of Common Stock in certain instances, in accordance with requirements of the TSX. See “Description of Securities - Preferred Stock - Series A Preferred Stock - Dividend Rate and Payment Dates” beginning on page 54 for additional details.

Our anticipated source of funds to pay the cumulative dividends for our Series A Preferred Stock in cash will be from net operating income and retained earnings, if any. See also "Risk Factors-Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Series A Preferred Stock-We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay cash dividends."

We have never declared dividends or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. Our Board will make any future decisions regarding dividends. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and, other than as indicted above with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. Our Board has complete discretion on whether to pay cash dividends or issue additional shares of Common Stock as dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Even if our Board decides to pay additional dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.


MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market for our Common Stock

(1) Includes shares of our Common Stock issuable pursuant to options granted under the 2006, 2016 and 2022 versions of the Stock Option Plans and RSUs awarded under our PRSU Plan.

(2) At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the 2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, which was adopted by the Board on March 21, 2022.

(3) The weighted average exercise price excludes RSUs, which have no exercise price.

(4) Represents the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock available for grants under the 2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 2023.


2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan

The 2016 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board in order to make the terms of the Company's stock option plan more consistent with the requirements of the TSX-V and to remove certain provisions which would have enabled the Company to grant incentive stock options in compliance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The 2016 Stock Option Plan permits the granting of options to officers, employees, directors and eligible consultants of the Company. A total of 6,361,525 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance under this plan, which includes stock options granted under the previous 2006 Stock Option Plan. In August 2018, the Board approved the amendment of the 2016 Stock Option Plan to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the plan to 9,347,747 and in July 2020, the number of shares reserved was increased to 11,025,965. Options may be granted under the 2016 Stock Option Plan on terms and at prices as determined by the Board except that the options cannot be granted at less than the market closing price of the Common Stock on the TSX on the date prior to the grant. Each option will be exercisable after the period or periods specified in the option agreement, but no option may be exercised after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant. The 2016 Stock Option Plan provides the Board with more flexibility when setting the vesting schedule for options which was otherwise fixed in the 2006 Stock Option Plan. On March 21, 2022, the Board adopted further amendments to the 2016 Stock Option Plan, which were approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

PRSU Plan

The PRSU Plan was approved by Shareholders at the 2018 annual meeting on May 7, 2018. The primary purpose of this PRSU Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified executive officers and senior managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to reward such officers and senior managers for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company and to enable and encourage such officers and senior managers to acquire shares of Common Stock as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

The PRSU Plan permits the Board to grant RSU awards to employees, consultants or directors of the Company and Performance Share Unit ("PSU") awards to employees and consultants of the Company. In each case, the award of RSUs or PSUs are subject to restrictions in connection with the termination of employment, engagement or term in office. The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant the majority of the awards to insiders of the Company. The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this plan is equal 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The Board has the authority to condition the grant of RSUs or PSUs upon the attainment of specified performance goals, or such other factors (which may vary between awards) as the Board determines in its sole discretion. The Board has the authority to determine at the time of grant, in its sole discretion, the duration of the vesting period and other vesting terms applicable to the grant of RSUs or PSUs. In the case of PSUs, such awards may be adjusted in accordance with the applicable PSU award agreement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our plans and financial condition. The following selected financial information is derived from our historical financial statements should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein and the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" explanation included herein.

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto appearing elsewhere in this offering circular and in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 that we filed with the Commission on March 29, 2023 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that we filed with the Commission on November 9, 2023. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference" beginning on page 66 of this offering circular. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.


All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that in addition to the description of historical facts contained herein, this offering circular contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties as detailed herein and from time to time in the Company's other filings with the Commission and elsewhere. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those, described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others: (a) the Company's fluctuations in sales and operating results; (b) risks associated with international operations; (c) regulatory, competitive and contractual risks; (d) development risks; (e) the ability to achieve strategic initiatives, including but not limited to the ability to achieve sales growth across the business segments through a combination of enhanced sales force, new products, and customer service; and (f) pending litigation.

Company Background

We are a drug delivery company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our focus is on the contract development and manufacturing of novel oral thin film products for the pharmaceutical market. More recently, we have made the strategic decision to enter the Canadian cannabis market with non-prescription cannabis infused oral film that launched in early 2021 and in 2020 we made the decision to enter the psychedelic market. As a full service CDMO, we are offering partners a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical R&D, clinical monitoring, regulatory support, tech transfer, manufacturing scale-up and commercial manufacturing.

Our business strategy is to leverage our proprietary drug delivery technologies and develop pharmaceutical products with tangible benefits for patients, for our partners and, once a developed product launches, retain the exclusive manufacturing rights.

Our primary growth strategy is based on providing CDMO services to the pharmaceutical industry by focusing on three key strategic areas: (1) psychedelics, (2) cannabis, and (3) animal health.

We have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the future manufacture of our VersaFilm™ and VetaFilm™ products. We believe that this (1) represents a profitable business opportunity, (2) will reduce our dependency upon third-party contract manufacturers, thereby protecting our manufacturing process know-how and intellectual property, and (3) allows us to offer our development partners a full service from product conception through to supply of the finished product.

We initiated a project to expand the existing manufacturing facility, the timing of which will be dictated in part by the completion of agreements with our commercial partners. This expansion became necessary in order to meet expected production volumes from our commercial partners. The new facility should create a fourfold increase of our production capacity in addition to offering a one-stop shopping opportunity to our partners and provide better protection of our Intellectual Property.

Product Opportunities that provide Tangible Patient Benefits

In addition to our three key strategic areas we will offer our services to develop oral film products leveraging our VersaFilm™ technology that provide tangible patient benefits versus existing drug delivery forms. Patients with difficulties swallowing medication, pediatrics or geriatrics may benefit from oral films due to the ease of use. Similarly, we are working on oral films to improve bio-availability and/or response time versus existing drugs and thereby reducing side effects.


Development of New Drug Delivery Technologies

The rapidly disintegrating film technology contained in our VersaFilm™, is an example of our efforts to develop alternate technology platforms. As we work with various partners on different products, we seek opportunities to develop new proprietary technologies.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. We require continued access to capital markets to support our operations, as well as to achieve our strategic plans. Any impediments to our ability to access capital markets, including the lack of financing capability or an adverse perception in capital markets of our financial condition or prospects, could have a materially adverse effect on us. In addition, our access to financing is influenced by the economic and credit market environment. We manage liquidity risk through the management of our capital structure.

Our objective in managing capital is to ensure a sufficient liquidity position to finance our R&D activities, scale up activities, regulatory activities, including product pipeline development general and administrative expenses, working capital and overall capital expenditures. Since inception, we have financed our liquidity needs primarily through public offerings of our Common Stock, convertible debentures, convertible notes, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, R&D revenues and the sale of U.S. royalty on future sales of Forfivo XL®. When possible, we try to optimize our liquidity needs by non-dilutive sources, including research tax credits, grants, interest income, as well as with proceeds from collaboration and research agreements or product licensing agreements.

In addition, we manage liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The Board reviews, approves and monitors our annual operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions.

Currency Rate Fluctuations

Our operating currency is Canadian dollars, while our reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Accordingly, our results of operations and balance sheet position have been affected by currency rate fluctuations. In summary, our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 report an accumulated other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in fair values of $2,234 primarily due to the fluctuation in the rates and fair values used to prepare our financial statements, $863 of which negatively impacted our comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The following Management Discussion and Analysis takes this into consideration whenever material.

Reconciliation of Comprehensive Loss to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA (Loss))

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the table below. We use adjusted financial measures to assess our operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than US-GAAP do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance from one period to the next without the variation caused by certain adjustments that could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our operating performance, and because we believe it provides meaningful information on our financial condition and operating results.

IntelGenx obtains its Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding / (deducting) to comprehensive loss, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and foreign currency translation adjustment incurred during the period. IntelGenx also excludes the effects of certain non-monetary transactions recorded, such as share-based compensation, for its Adjusted EBITDA calculation. We believe it is useful to exclude these items as they are either non-cash expenses, items that cannot be influenced by management in the short term, or items that do not impact core operating performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily nonrecurring. Share-based compensation costs are a component of employee and consultant's remuneration and can vary significantly with changes in the market price of our shares. Foreign currency translation adjustments are a component of other comprehensive income and can vary significantly with currency fluctuations from one period to another. In addition, other items that do not impact our core operating performance may vary significantly from one period to another. As such, Adjusted EBITDA provides improved continuity with respect to the comparison of our operating results over a period of time. Our method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other corporations.

Going concern

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes and debentures, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, and research and development revenues. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,077. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Company's control:

 Raise funding through the possible sale of the Company's common stock, including public or private equity financings.

 Raise funding through debt financing.

 Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline.

 Expand oral film manufacturing activities.

 Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities.

If the Company is unable to raise further capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to potentially delay, reduce or eliminate some of its research and development programs and commercial activities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 1, 2019, a complaint for patent infringement was filed in United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Chemo Research, S.L., Insud Pharma S.L., IntelGenx Corp., and IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (collectively, the "Defendants") by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc., and Arius Two, Inc., (collectively, the "Plaintiffs"), asserting that the Defendants infringed upon BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. Orange Book listed patents for BELBUCA, including United States Patent Nos. 8,147,866 and 9,655,843, both expiring in July of 2027, and United States Patent No. 9,901,539 expiring December of 2032. See BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. et al v. Chemo Research, S.L. et al, No. 1:19-cv-00444-CFC-CJB (D. Del.). Plaintiffs seek to enjoin Defendants from commercially manufacturing, using, offering for sale, or selling Defendants' generic buprenorphine buccal film within the United States, or importing Defendants' generic buprenorphine buccal film into the United States, until the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,147,866, 9,655,843, and 9,901,539. Plaintiffs are not seeking damages. Discovery is ongoing. We believe that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of these matters.

This complaint followed the receipt by BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. of a notice letter by Chemo Research S.L. on January 31, 2019, stating that it had filed with the FDA an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV Patent Certification, for a generic version of BELBUA Buccal Film in strengths 75 mcg, 150 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, and 900 mcg. Since the Plaintiffs initiated a patent infringement suit to defend the patents identified in the notice letter within 45 days after receipt, the FDA is prevented from approving the ANDA until the earlier of (i) 30 months or (ii) a decision which determines whether the patents were infringed or invalid.

On March 15, 2019, Plaintiffs filed their same complaint for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. See BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. et al v. Chemo Research, S.L. et al, No. 2:19-cv-08660-KM-MAH (D.N.J.). Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their New Jersey case on April 25, 2019.

On September 12, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a second complaint for patent infringement against Chemo Research, S.L., Insud Pharma S.L., IntelGenx Corp., and IntelGenx Technologies Corp. and Xiromed, LLC (collectively, the “September 2022 Defendants”) alleging infringement of the same patents based on the September 2022 Defendants’ generic buprenorphine buccal film, 600 mcg and 750 mcg doses. See BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. et al v. Chemo Research, S.L. et al, No. 1:22-cv-01196-CFC (D. Del.). Plaintiffs seek to enjoin the September 2022 Defendants from commercially manufacturing, using, offering for sale, or selling their generic buprenorphine buccal film within the United States, or importing their ' generic buprenorphine buccal film into the United States, until the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,147,866, 9,655,843, and 9,901,539. Plaintiffs are not seeking damages. Currently, there is no trial date set in for both cases (BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. et al v. Chemo Research, S.L. et al, No. 1:22-cv-01196-CFC (D. Del.) and BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. et al v. Chemo Research, S.L. et al, No. 1:19-cv-00444-CFC-CJB (D. Del.)).

On December 8, 2021, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against Tilray, Inc. related to an alleged breach of the 2018 license, development and supply agreement, as amended, between IntelGenx Corp. and Tilray Inc. (the “Agreement”), for the co-development and commercialization of cannabis-infused VersaFilm® products.

The action follows a press release issued by Tilray Inc. announcing its launch of medical cannabis oral strips in THC and CBD-rich varieties based on a competitive oral thin film technology similar to IntelGenx's VersaFilm® platform. We believe this represents a material breach of the Agreement.

On November 3, 2023, the Company and Tilray Brands Inc. (formerly Tilray Inc.) (“Tilray”) entered into a further amendment to their November 2018 license, development and supply agreement for the co-development and commercialization of cannabinoid-infused VersaFilm® products. The Company and Tilray have concurrently entered into a Settlement Agreement and are working through the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement upon which IntelGenx’s arbitration claim against Tilray will be settled.

The Charter of the Board is posted on our website at http://www.intelgenx.com.

Certain information relating to our corporate governance is incorporated by reference herein from our 2023 Proxy Statement and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 18, 2023, July 21, 2023 and December 4, 2023. See "Documents Incorporated By Reference" beginning on page 66 of this offering circular.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The key objectives of our executive compensation policies are to attract and retain key executives who are important to our long-term success and to provide incentives for these executives to achieve high levels of job performance and enhancement of shareholder value. We seek to achieve these objectives by paying our executives a competitive level of base compensation for companies of similar size and industry and by providing our executives an opportunity for further reward for outstanding performance in both the short term and the long term.

Executive Officer Compensation. Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of three elements: base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option grants and/or RSU awards.

Salary. The Compensation Committee and our Board will review base salaries for our executive officers, taking into account individual experience, job responsibility and individual performance during the prior year. These factors are not assigned a specific weight in establishing individual base salaries. The Compensation Committee will also consider our executive officers' salaries relative to salary information for executives in similar industries and similarly sized companies.

Cash Bonuses. The purpose of the cash bonus component of the compensation program is to provide a direct financial incentive in the form of cash bonuses to executives. The cash bonuses are paid on the base of executives achieving annual individual and corporate objectives, which are set annually by the Board and the CEO and reviewed by the Compensation Committee.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Under our Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan ("PRSU Plan"), which was approved by our shareholders at the 2018 annual meeting, we are able to compensate executive officers with RSUs and stock options.

The objectives of the stock option and the RSU program are to align employees' and shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between compensation and increases in share value. Under our 2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan ("SOP"), the Board may authorize the grant of options to purchase our Common Stock to our key employees. Historically, options have generally vested in increments over a period of two years established at the time of grant. However, this practice was adjusted for the stock options granted in January 2023 such that options are tied to a base four-year vesting period that can be accelerated where certain performance targets set by the Board have been achieved earlier. Under the PRSU Plan, the Board may authorize the award of restricted share units. The vesting of such restricted share units is determined by the Board at the time of the award.

The following table sets forth all compensation awarded to, or earned by, certain executive officers, including our Principal Executive Officer, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers for the years indicated (the "Named Executive Officers").

(9) Only 50% of the annual director's fees were paid out during fiscal year 2023, the balance has been accrued and the payout deferred to a later time. The retention has been on a voluntary basis to preserve cash.

Effective April 1, 2015, our Directors of the Board (except for the CEO) received an annual stipend of CA$36,000, the Vice Chairman of the Board received an additional stipend of CA$14,500 and each Chairman of a Board committee received an additional CA$7,500. Director fees are paid in quarterly installments at the beginning of each quarter. Effective January 2017, the currency of the Directors' compensation changed from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. The amounts remained the same. Following the recommendations of the compensation committee the Board resolved to increase both the annual stipend and Board committee fees by 7 % effective January 1, 2023.

In November 2016, the Board resolved to compensate non-employee directors for their efforts on special or ad hoc committees or for Board approved initiatives that fall outside the scope of customary director's duties. A daily (per 8 hours) per diem rate of $741 (CA$1,000) was established. The Audit Committee Chair needs to approve per diem charges submitted by directors. During the 2023 Fiscal Year, the Vice Chair and Chair of the Nomination Committee submitted a one-time fee of US$10,031 relating to the CEO succession search to the audit committee, which was approved and paid under the policy.

Effective February 7, 2018, the Board approved a DSU Plan to compensate non-employee directors as part of their annual remuneration. Under the DSU Plan, the Board may grant DSUs to the participating directors at its discretion and, in addition, each participating director may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her annual cash stipend in the form of DSUs. To the extent DSUs are granted, the amount of compensation that is deferred is converted into a number of DSUs, as determined by the market price of our Common Stock on the effective date of the election. These DSUs are converted back into a cash amount at the expiration of the deferral period based on the market price of our Common Stock on the expiration date and paid to the director in cash in accordance with the payout terms of the DSU Plan. As the DSUs are on a cash-only basis and no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or issued in connection with the DSUs, no approval was required from the security authorities or shareholders. During 2023, 156,250 DSUs valued at CA$50,000 (US$37,045) were awarded to each of the five non-employee directors.

At December 31, 2023 Mr. Melchers, Mr. Mayr and Mr. Nawacki held 50,000, 50,000, and 125,000 vested options to purchase Common Stock, respectively. No options were granted to Mr. Stegert, Dr. Rao, Dr. Trzcinska, Dr. Kirpekar or Mr. Barrett.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Certain information relating to certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence is incorporated by reference herein from our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A that we filed with the Commission on March 29, 2023 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that we filed with the Commission on May 11, 2023; our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that we filed with the Commission on August 14, 2023; and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that we filed with the Commission on November 9, 2023. See “Documents Incorporated By Reference” beginning on page 66 of this offering circular.

Subsequent to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, on December 5, 2023, IntelGenx Technologies Corp. announced the closing of the previously announced subsequent non-brokered private placement of 750 units with atai Life Sciences AG for aggregate gross proceeds of US$750,000, on the same terms as the August 31, 2023, offering of units, following the Shareholder Approvals obtained at the special meeting held on November 28, 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The authorized share capital of the Company consists of 580,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.00001 and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001. As at February 14, 2024, there were 174,658,096 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Common Stock exclusively possess all voting power. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available for distribution to holders. No holder of Common Stock has any pre-emptive right to subscribe to any securities of ours of any kind or class or any cumulative voting rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares, upon issuance and sale as contemplated will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Rights Upon Dissolution or Winding Up

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, holders of Common Stock have the lowest priority in the distribution of assets and will only receive a distribution if all senior obligations have been paid.  If all senior obligations have been paid, the holders of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive our assets available for distribution proportionate to their pro rata ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.


Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws

The Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws contain provisions that may have some anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in his, her or its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203") Subject to specific exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the time the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless:

 the business combination, or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, is approved by our board of directors prior to the time the interested stockholder attained that status;

 upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 at or after the time a stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

"Business combinations" include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to various exceptions, in general, an "interested stockholder" is a stockholder who, together with his, her or its affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the shares of our outstanding voting stock. These restrictions could prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to us and, therefore, may discourage attempts to acquire us.

Preferred Stock

Our Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time-to-time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board can also increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock or other series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.


Series A Preferred Stock

We will file a certificate of designation with the Delaware Secretary of State to establish our Series A Preferred Stock. We will designate a total of 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as "Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock." Our Series A Preferred Stock will have the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions:

Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock do not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Stated Value. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $10.00, which is equal to the offering price per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.20 per share each quarter, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 8.00% of the $10.00 purchase price per share; provided that upon an event of default (generally defined as our failure to pay dividends when due or to redeem shares when requested by a holder), such amount shall be increased to $0.30 per quarter, which is equivalent to the annual rate of 12% of the $10.00 purchase price per share. Dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if any of our agreements prohibit the current payment of dividends or we do not have earnings, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. Dividends may be paid in cash or at the Company's discretion and subject to the prior approval of the TSX, in kind in the form of Common Stock at a price equal to the five-day volume-weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock on the TSX ending on the second trading day before the date selected by the Company for the payment of such dividends. Notwithstanding the ability of the Company to pay dividends in kind in the form of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock (pursuant to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or the payment of dividends into shares of Common Stock, as the case may be) shall be limited to 43,647,059 shares of Common Stock, which equals 24.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, unless and until the Company has obtained approval from its holders of shares of Common Stock to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of such limitation at a duly called meeting of the holders of shares of Common Stock in accordance with applicable laws and the rules of the TSX.

Liquidation Preference. The liquidation preference for each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is $15.00. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distributions to its stockholders, before any payment is made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or other classes of shares of the Company ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference with respect to their shares plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends and dividends to, but not including, the date of payment with respect to such shares. After the payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the amount so payable to them as above provided, they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets or property of the Company.

Company Call and Stockholder Put Options. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, we shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock , for cash, at a call price equal to 150% of the original issue price of our Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to put the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to us at a put price equal to 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares. Such price will be $15.00 per share.

Please see the certificate of designation, which will be filed as an exhibit to an amendment to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, for the procedures to request a redemption.

Restrictions on Redemption and Repurchase. We are not obligated to redeem or repurchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock if we are restricted by applicable law or our certificate of incorporation from making such redemption or repurchase or to the extent any such redemption or repurchase would cause or constitute a default under any borrowing agreements to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or otherwise bound. In addition, we have no obligation to redeem shares in connection with a redemption request made by a holder if we determine, as of the redemption date, that we do not have sufficient funds available to fund that redemption. In this regard, we will have complete discretion under the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock to determine whether we are in possession of "sufficient funds" to fund a redemption request. Redemptions will be limited to five percent (5%) of the total outstanding Shares per quarter. To the extent we are unable to complete redemptions we may have earlier agreed to make, we will complete those redemptions promptly after we become able to do so, with all such deferred redemptions being satisfied on a first come, first served, basis.


Voting Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights relative to matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders (other than as required by law). We may not authorize or issue any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or distributions upon liquidation (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such senior securities) or amend our certificate of incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to materially and adversely change the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter by holders of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class.

Further Issuances. The shares of our Series A Preferred Stock have no maturity date, and we will not be required to redeem shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at any time except as otherwise described above under the caption "Company Call and Stockholder Put Options." Accordingly, the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our call right, or the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock exercises his put right.

Conversion Rights. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $0.50 (1 share of Series A Preferred Stock converts into 20 shares of Common Stock), at the option of the holder thereof, at any time following the issuance date of such share of Series A Preferred Stock and on or prior to the fifth (5th) day prior to a redemption date, if any, as may have been fixed in any redemption notice with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at our office or any transfer agent for such stock. The offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part also qualifies the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the conversion rights set out above, there are certain limitations on the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with requirements of the TSX: (i) the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, and a holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock may not elect to convert a share of Series A Preferred Stock Shares into shares of Common Stock, if the shares of Common Stock proposed to be issued, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned beneficially by such holder and its affiliates and associates would result in the holder beneficially owning, together with its affiliates and associates, more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock unless and until a personal information form is filed by the holder with, and precleared by, the TSX in accordance with its rules; (ii) the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, and a holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock may not elect to convert a share of Series A Preferred Stock Shares into shares of Common Stock, if the shares of Common Stock proposed to be issued, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned beneficially by such holder and its affiliates and associates would result in the holder beneficially owning, together with its affiliates and associates, more than 19.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock unless and until the Company has obtained approval from its holders of shares of Common Stock to proceed with such issuance at a duly called meeting of the holders of shares of Common Stock in accordance with applicable laws and the rules of the TSX; and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock (pursuant to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or the payment of dividends into shares of Common Stock, as the case may be) shall be limited to 43,647,059 shares of Common Stock, which equals 24.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, unless and until the Company has obtained approval from its holders of shares of Common Stock to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of such limitation at a duly called meeting of the holders of shares of Common Stock in accordance with applicable laws and the rules of the TSX.

As such, Digital Offering is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Digital Offering is under no obligation to purchase any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or arrange for the sale of any specific number or dollar amount of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

We are responsible for all offering fees and expenses, including the following: (i) fees and disbursements of our legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals we engage; (ii) fees and expenses incurred in the production of offering documents, including design, printing, photograph, and written material procurement costs; (iii) all filing fees, including those charged by FINRA; (iv) all of the legal fees related to FINRA clearance; and (v) $25,000 in accountable expenses of Digital Offering, including for due diligence costs relating to background checks of the Company's officers and directors, travel expenses associated with site visits, tech fees and other related fees. This $25,000 has already been paid to Digital Offering by us. We have agreed to reimburse Digital Offering for its reasonable and documented legal costs up to a maximum of $75,000, $10,000 of which has been paid to date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the two advances received by Digital Offering and discussed above will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a).

Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination

In the event the offering does not close or the selling agency agreement is terminated for any reason, we have agreed to reimburse Digital Offering for all unreimbursed, reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees, expenses, and disbursements, including its legal fees.

Other Expenses of the Offering

The Lead Selling Agent has engaged DealMaker Securities LLC as a soliciting dealer to assist in the placement of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock in those states where it is registered to undertake such activities, including soliciting potential investors on a best efforts basis.

In addition, the Company has retained DealMaker Reach LLC ("Reach") for marketing and advisory services. Reach, an affiliate of DealMaker Securities, LLC, will consult and advise on the design and messaging on creative assets, website design and implementation, paid media and email campaigns, advise on optimizing the Company's campaign page to track investor progress, and advise on strategic planning, implementation, and execution of Company's capital raise marketing budget. The Company will pay Reach a monthly fee of $12,000 in cash up to a maximum of $48,000. We have also paid Reach a $30,000 launch fee. This launch fee received by Reach will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a). To the extent services under this agreement are commenced in advance of a FINRA no objection letter being received by us, such amounts shall be considered an advance against accountable expenses anticipated to be incurred, and fully refunded to extent not actually incurred, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a). A maximum of $36,000 or three months of account management fees are payable prior to a no objection letter being received.


Selling Agents' Commission

We have agreed that the definitive selling agency agreement will provide for us to pay a commission of 7% of the gross proceeds received by us in the offering, which shall be allocated by Digital Offering to members of the selling group and soliciting dealers in its sole discretion (we sometimes refer to Digital Offering and such members and dealers collectively as the "Selling Agents").

The following table shows the total commissions payable to Digital Offering on a per-share basis in connection with this offering, assuming a fully subscribed offering.

    Per Share  
Public offering price $ 10.00  
Digital Offering commission (7.0%)* $ 0.70  
Proceeds, before expenses, to us, per share $ 9.30  

*Assuming a fully subscribed offering, Digital Offering would receive total commissions of $1,400,000.

Selling Agent’s Warrants

Upon the closing of the offering, we have agreed to issue warrants, the Selling Agent’s Warrants, to the selling agent to purchase a number of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to 4.5% of the total number of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering. The Selling Agent’s Warrants will be exercisable commencing six months after the date of commencement of sales in this offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)) and will be exercisable until the third anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the offering. The exercise price for the Selling Agent’s Warrants will be the amount that is 25% greater than the public offering price, or $12.50 per share. The Selling Agent’s Warrants will not be redeemable. The Selling Agent’s Warrants will provide for cashless exercise in the event there is not a qualified offering statement covering the shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants, and immediate “piggyback” registration rights, with a duration of seven years from the date of commencement of sales in the offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D)), with respect to the registration of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock underlying the warrants. We are qualifying the Selling Agent’s Warrants and the shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants in this offering pursuant to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part.

The Selling Agent’s Warrants and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The selling agent, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the shares of Series A Preferred Stock underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants, nor will the selling agent or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the date of commencement of sales in the offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any selling agent or selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the underlying shares of Series A Preferred Stock so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Selling Agent’s Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the Series A Preferred Stock underlying such warrants) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification of the A Series A Preferred Stock.

Pricing of the Offering

Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The initial public offering price has been determined by negotiation between us and Digital Offering. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include:

  the information set forth in this offering circular and otherwise available to Digital Offering;

    ● our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

  our past and present financial performance;

  our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

  an assessment of our management;

  the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;

    ● the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded Common Stock of generally comparable companies; and

  other factors deemed relevant by Digital Offering and us.

Indemnification and Control

We have agreed to indemnify the Lead Selling Agent, its affiliates and controlling persons and members of the selling group against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to the payments the Lead Selling Agent, its affiliates and controlling persons as may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.


The Lead Selling Agent and its affiliates are engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Lead Selling Agent and its affiliates may in the future perform various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

Our Relationship with the Lead Selling Agent

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, Digital Offering and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company. Digital Offering and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Investment Limitations if We Do Not Obtain a Listing on a National Securities Exchange

As set forth in Title IV of the JOBS Act, there would be no limit on how many shares an investor may purchase if this offering results in a listing of our Series A Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or other national securities exchange. However, our Series A Preferred Stock will not be listed on Nasdaq upon the initial qualification of this offering by the Commission and we have no plans to list our Series A Preferred Stock following qualification of the offering and we do not intend to seek a listing of the Series A Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or other national securities exchange in the future.

Procedures for Subscribing through Cambria Capital's My IPO Platform

Cambria Capital is a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Cambria Capital has been appointed by us and Digital Offering, as a soliciting dealer for this offering. Cambria Capital operates the My IPO platform as a separate unincorporated business division.

When submitting the subscription request through My IPO, a prospective investor is required to agree to various terms and conditions by checking boxes and to review and electronically sign any necessary documents. We will not accept any subscription agreements prior to the Commission's qualification of this offering.

We may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis.

All subscribers will be instructed by the Company or its agents to transfer funds by wire or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering.

Before the qualification date, you may only make non-binding indications of your interest to purchase securities in the offering. For any subscription agreements received after the qualification date, we have the right to review and accept or reject the subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. If a closing doesn't occur or a subscription is rejected and the investor has an account with My IPO or another clearing broker, funds for such subscription will not be debited from My IPO or other clearing broker and the subscription will be cancelled. If accepted, the funds will remain in the escrow account or clearing firm account until we determine to have the closing of the offering and the funds in escrow or in the clearing firm account will then be transferred into our general account.

Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds.

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, unless a company's offered securities are listed on a national securities exchange, non-accredited, non-natural person investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser's revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser's most recent fiscal year end). As a result, for so long as our Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange in the United States, non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds in our Series A Preferred Stock which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser's annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

How to Calculate Net Worth

For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.


In order to purchase the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, for so long as our Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on Nasdaq or other national securities exchange, an investor in our Series A Preferred Stock will be required to represent, to the Company's satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. Such indemnification is intended to supplement our officers' and directors' liability insurance.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. A director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law, however, (a) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.


To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are also authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) such agents (and any other persons to which Delaware law permits us to provide indemnification) through provisions in our bylaws, agreements with such agents or other persons, voting of security holders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to us, our security holders and others.

Any repeal or modification of any of the foregoing provisions of the indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws shall be prospective and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer, agent, or other person existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of our company with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of our company, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Provisions of Note in our Subscription Agreement

Forum Selection Provision

The subscription agreement that investors located outside Canada will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the Company based on the subscription agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors' ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The Company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time traveling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on the operations of the Company. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the Company's compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Jury Trial Waiver

The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the agreement, other than claims arising under federal securities laws. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. In addition, by agreeing to the provision, subscribers will not be deemed to have waived the Company's compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.


Offer Restrictions Outside the United States

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the lead selling agent that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this offering circular in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this offering circular may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this offering circular or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this offering circular comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this offering circular.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
IntelGenx Technologies Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP").

Going concern uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for at least the next year following the issuance of these financial statements which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 


 

Impairment of leasehold improvements and equipment

As reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2022, the Company's leasehold improvements and equipment amounted to $4,425 million. Long-lived assets must be reviewed for possible impairment if circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Given that the plant is not currently operating at capacity, the Company evaluated its leasehold improvements and equipment for recoverability and concluded that they were not impaired. Auditing the Company's impairment assessment involved subjective auditor judgment due to the significant estimation involved in determining the fair value, including the forecasted cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability and the significant assumptions used in estimating the fair values of long-lived assets. We therefore identified the impairment of leasehold improvements and equipment as a critical audit matter.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

  • Obtaining an understanding of the impairment process and the controls relating to management's impairment test,
  • Reviewing the valuation methodology to assess whether the methodology was widely recognized and appropriate for use in the valuation of leasehold improvements and equipment,
  • Testing management's process for determining the forecasted future cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability. We evaluated the reasonableness of management's forecasts of future manufacturing and operating margin by comparing the Company's plans and forecasts to current industry and economic trends,
  • Evaluating whether the data and assumptions used were reasonable by considering the past performance, industry and third-party market data, and whether such assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit,
  • Performing sensitivity analysis on the significant data and assumptions used.

We have served as the Company's auditors since 2005.

IntelGenx Technologies Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021
(Expressed in U.S. Funds)

1. Basis of Presentation

IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (and collectively with IntelGenx Corp., our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, "IntelGenx" or the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("USA"). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. On consolidation, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The financial statements are expressed in U.S. funds.

2. Going Concern

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes and debentures, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, and research and development revenues. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,527. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Company's control:

  • Raise funding through the possible sale of the Company's common stock, including public or private equity financings.

  • Raise funding through debt financing.

  • Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline.

  • Expand oral film manufacturing activities.

  • Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities.

If the Company is unable to raise further capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to potentially delay, reduce or eliminate some of its research and development programs and commercial activities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

3. Nature of Business

IntelGenx was incorporated in the State of Delaware as Big Flash Corp. on July 27, 1999. On April 28, 2006 Big Flash Corp. completed, through the Canadian holding corporation, the acquisition of IntelGenx Corp., a company incorporated in Canada on June 15, 2003 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. IntelGenx Corp. has continued operations as our operating subsidiary.

IntelGenx Corp. is a drug delivery company focused on the contract development and manufacturing of novel oral thin film products for the pharmaceutical market. More recently, IntelGenx made the strategic decision to enter the Canadian cannabis market with a non-prescription cannabis infused oral film that launched in early 2021 and in 2020 made the decision to enter the psychedelic market. As a full service contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") IntelGenx is offering partners a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical research and development, clinical monitoring, regulatory support, technology transfer, manufacturing scale-up, and commercial manufacturing. The Company's main product development efforts are based upon three delivery platform technologies: (1) VersaFilm™, an oral film technology, (2) the VetaFilmTM technology platform for veterinary applications and (3) DisinteQ™ a disintegrating oral film technology.

The Company's business strategy is to leverage its proprietary drug delivery technologies and develop pharmaceutical products with tangible benefits for patients, for partners and, once the product launches, retain the exclusive manufacturing rights.

Managing the project pipeline is a key Company success factor. Three focus areas have been identified; psychedelics, cannabis and animal health where the Company believes it can establish a leadership position with its drug delivery technology. The Company has undertaken a strategy under which it will work with pharmaceutical companies in order to apply its oral film technology to pharmaceutical products for which patent protection is nearing expiration, a strategy which is often referred to as "lifecycle management." Under §505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (the "FDCA"), the FDA may grant market exclusivity for a term of up to three years following approval of a listed drug that contains previously approved active ingredients but is approved in a new dosage, dosage form, route of administration or a combination.

The Company's product portfolio includes a blend of generic and branded products based on its proprietary delivery technology ("generic" products are essentially copies of products that have already received FDA approval). Of the 12 projects currently in the Company's portfolio, 11 use the VersaFilm™ technology and one uses the VetaFilm™ technology.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

ASU 2020-06-Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity

The FASB issued ASU 2020-06,1 which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of AASU 2020-06 had a substantial impact on the Company's balance sheet. The August 2021 convertible notes (note 10) contained a beneficial conversion feature. Under the new requirements, the beneficial conversion feature no longer requires to be recognized separately and the convertible notes are treated as a single financial liability. As such, the most significant impact were the reversals of the beneficial conversion feature and the deferred income tax liability.

The impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the balance sheet as at December 31, 2021 was:

Revenue Recognition

The Company may enter into licensing and collaboration agreements for product development, licensing, supply and manufacturing for its product pipeline. The terms of the agreements may include non-refundable signing and licensing fees, milestone payments and royalties on any product sales derived from collaborations. These contracts are analyzed to identify all performance obligations forming part of these contracts. The transaction price of the contract is then determined. The transaction price is allocated between all performance obligations on a residual standalone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price is estimated based on the comparable market prices, expected cost plus margin and the Company's historical experience.

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

The following is a description of principal activities - separated by nature - from which the Company generates its revenue.

Product revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the following conditions are met; delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; the collectability is reasonable assured and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.

Research and Development Revenue

Revenues with corporate collaborators are recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

Licensing and Collaboration Arrangements

Licenses are considered to be right-to-use licenses. As such, the Company recognizes the licenses revenues at a point in time, upon granting the licenses.

Milestone payments are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license, research and other revenues in the period during which the adjustment is recognized. The process of successfully achieving the criteria for the milestone payments is highly uncertain. Consequently, there is significant risk that the Company may not earn all of the milestone payments for each of its contracts.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

Royalties are typically calculated as a percentage of net sales realized by the Company's licensees of its products (including their sub-licensees), as specifically defined in each agreement. The licensees' sales generally consist of revenues from product sales of the Company's product pipeline and net sales are determined by deducting the following: estimates for chargebacks, rebates, sales incentives and allowances, returns and losses and other customary deductions in each region where the Company has licensees. Revenues arising from royalties are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and management's judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances. Significant estimates in these financial statements include the useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation costs, and the investment tax credits receivable. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in material changes to the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions.

Financial instruments - Credit losses

The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326 20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that is deducted from the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in Credit Loss expense, included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

Accounts Receivable

The Company's accounts receivable relate to licensing and collaboration agreements for product development, licensing, supply and manufacturing agreements. These accounts receivable are short term in nature. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Investment Tax Credits

Investment tax credits relating to qualifying expenditures are recognized in the accounts at the time at which the related expenditures are incurred and there is reasonable assurance of their realization. Management has made estimates and assumptions in determining the expenditures eligible for investment tax credits claimed. Investment tax credits received in the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $378 (2021: $382).

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value where net realizable value represents the expected sale price upon disposition less make-ready costs and the costs of disposal and transportation and determines the cost of raw material inventory using the average-cost method. The Company analyzes its inventory levels quarterly and adjusts inventory to its net realizable value, if required, for obsolete, or has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value.

Leasehold Improvements and Equipment

Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are based on their estimated useful lives using the methods as follows:

On the declining balance method -

Laboratory and office equipment 20%
Computer equipment 30%

On the straight-line method -

Leasehold improvements over the lease term 
Manufacturing equipment 5 - 10 years

Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Leases

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria.

Substantially all of the Company's operating leases are comprised of office space and property leases. The finance leases are comprised of laboratory equipment leases.

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early.

Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-tern leases that have a term of 12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases on our right-of-use asset and lease liability was not material.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value thereof.

Security Deposits

Security deposits represent a refundable deposit paid to the landlord in accordance with the lease agreement and deposits held as guarantees by the Company's lenders in accordance with the lending facilities. The deposits will be repaid to the Company at the end of the lease.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Company's Canadian operations, which is translated to the United States dollar using the current rate method. Under this method, accounts are translated as follows:

Assets and liabilities - at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date;

Revenue and expenses - at average exchange rates prevailing during the year;

Equity - at historical rates.

Gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes". Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes". ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Additionally, ASC 740 requires the Company to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax positions for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. The Company elected to classify interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.

Share-Based Payments

The Company accounts for share-based payments to employees in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation" and accordingly recognizes in its financial statements share-based payments at their fair value. In addition, the Company will recognize in the financial statements an expense based on the grant date fair value of stock options granted to employees. The expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and the offsetting credit will be recorded in additional paid-in capital. Upon exercise of options, the consideration paid together with the amount previously recorded as additional paid-in capital will be recognized as capital stock. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the options.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" and accordingly recognizes in its financial statements share-based payments at their fair value. In addition, the Company will recognize in the financial statements as expense over the service period, as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Any antidilutive instruments are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820 requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. Short-term investments are classified Level 1.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value represents management's best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions. The carrying value of receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business and the investment tax credits receivable approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization.

5. Short-term investments

As at December 31, 2022, short-term investments consisted of investments in mutual funds of $1.3 million (2021 - $6 million) and are with a Canadian financial institution having a high credit rating.

10. Convertible Debentures

On July 12, 2017, the Company closed its previously announced prospectus offering (the "Offering") of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of the Corporation (the "Debentures") for gross aggregate proceeds of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,049,000). Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation issued an aggregate principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,049,000) of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($738) per Debenture. The Debentures had a maturity date June 30, 2020 and interest at an annual rate of 8% payable semi-annually on the last day of June and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2017. The interest may be paid in common shares at the option of the Corporation. The Debentures were convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of June 30, 2020 and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Corporation for redemption of Debentures. The conversion price was CAD$1.35 ($1.00) (the "Conversion Price") per common share of the Corporation ("Share"), being a conversion rate of approximately 740 Shares per CAD$1,000 ($738) principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events.

On August 8, 2017, the Company closed a second tranche of its prospectus Offering of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of the Corporation for which a first closing took place on July 12, pursuant to which it had raised additional gross proceeds of CAD$762,000 ($563,000).

Together with the principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,049,000) of Debentures issued on July 12, 2017, the Company issued a total aggregate principal amount of CAD$7,600,000 ($5,611,000) of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($738) per Debenture.

On June 25, 2020, the debentureholders approved the extension of the maturity date of the convertible debentures from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2022 and the conversion price was reduced from CAD$1.35 ($1.00) to CAD$0.50 ($0.37). This extension was accounted for as an extinguishment and the debentures were re-measured at fair value on June 30, 2020.

On June 30, 2022, the Company issued 19,381,223 shares of common stock in payment of the outstanding CAD$5,450,000 ($4,229,000) aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures. The convertible debentures, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol IGX.DB, were delisted from trading as of the close of business on June 30, 2022.

11. Convertible Notes (Cont'd)

On October 23, 2020, the Company announced the closing of a second tranche of the Notes to certain investors in the United States of $557 thousand principal amount of 8% convertible notes due Oct 15, 2024. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly, and are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company beginning 6 months after their issuance at a price of $0.18 per Share. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to an agent a cash commission of approximately $39,000 in the aggregate and issued non-transferable warrants to the agent, entitling the holder to purchase 222,800 common shares at a price of $0.18 per Share until October 15, 2022.

Management has determined the value of the agents' warrants to be $44,000.

The convertible notes have been recorded as a liability. Total transactions costs in the amount of $268 thousand were recorded against the liability. The accretion expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounts to $59 thousand (2021: $54 thousand). The warrants have been recorded as equity.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, $112,000 of convertible notes were converted into 622,222 common shares at the option of the holders, resulting in an increase in additional paid-in capital of $97 thousand.

The components of the convertible notes are as follows:

    December 31, 2022     December 31, 2021  
Attributed value of net proceeds to convertible notes $ 1,397   $ 1,397  
Accretion   126     66  
Convertible note

$

1,523   $ 1,463  

The interest on the convertible notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounts to $132,000 (2021: $137,000, out of which $1,000 was paid by issuance of 3,910 common shares). The interest is recorded in financing and interest expense.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has initiated a project to expand the existing manufacturing facility. The Company has signed agreements in the amount of Euro 1,911 thousand (2,040 thousand) with three suppliers with respect to equipment for solvent film manufacturing. As at December 31, 2022 an amount of Euro 1,490 thousand (1,591 thousand) has been paid with respect to these agreements (note 6).

Contingencies

The government authorities have assessed the Company with respect to sales taxes claimed on certain expenses between 2017 and 2020, which the government is denying. The sales tax assessments amount to $314,000 (including interest and penalties of $33,000), which was paid to avoid further interest and penalties. The Company disagrees with the government's position and the sales tax assessments are under appeal. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in its appeal, sales taxes expenses would increase by $281,000 and net earnings would decrease by $281,000.

14. Additional Paid-In Capital (Cont'd)

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2022 with regards to the stock options was $113 thousand (2021: $107 thousand). As at December 31, 2022 the Company has $39 thousand (2021 - $146 thousand) of unrecognized stock-based compensation, of which $12 thousand (2021 - $24) relates to options granted to consultants. The amount of $39 thousand will be recognized as an expense over a period of two years. A change in control of the Company due to acquisition would cause the vesting of the stock options granted to employees and consultants to accelerate and would result in $39 thousand being charged to stock-based compensation expense.

Deferred Share Units ("DSUs")

Under the DSU Plan, the Board may grant Deferred Share Units ("DSUs") to the participating directors at its discretion and, in addition, each participating director may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her annual cash stipend in the form of DSUs. To the extent DSUs are granted, the amount of compensation that is deferred is converted into a number of DSUs, as determined by the market price of our Common Stock on the effective date of the election. These DSUs are converted back into a cash amount at the expiration of the deferral period based on the market price of our Common Stock on the expiration date and paid to the director in cash in accordance with the payout terms of the DSU Plan. As the DSUs are on a cash-only basis, no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or issued in connection with the DSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 543,478 DSUs have been granted under the DSU Plan (2021 - 390,625), accordingly, an amount of $197 thousand has been recognized in general and administrative expenses (2021 - $219 thousand).

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 298,640 DSUs were converted back into a cash amount of CAD $64 thousand (49 thousand) and paid to the director.

Performance and Restricted Share Units ("PRSUs")

As at December 31, 2022, 53,846 rewards have been issued under the PRSU Plan. No rewards were granted under the PRSU Plan in 2021 and 2022.

15. Income Taxes

Income taxes reported differ from the amount computed by applying the statutory rates to net income (losses). The reasons are as follows:

    2022     2021  
Statutory income taxes $ (3,062 ) $ (2,115 )
Net operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recorded   1,785     1,040  
Deficiency of depreciation over capital cost allowance   (52 )   (32 )
Non-deductible expenses   918     839  
Undeducted research and development expenses   455     383  
Investment tax credit   (44 )   (115 )
  $ -   $ -  

The major components of the deferred tax assets classified by the source of temporary differences are as follows:

    2022     2021  
Leasehold improvements and equipment $ 184   $ 225  
Net operating losses carryforward   12,789     11,017  
Undeducted research and development expenses   4,122     3,868  
Non-refundable tax credits carryforward   2,780     2,729  
    19,875     17,839  
Valuation allowance   (19,875 )   (17,839 )
  $ -   $ -  

As at December 31, 2022, management determined that enough uncertainty existed relative to the realization of deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance. Management continues to believe that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the remaining deferred income tax asset balances such that no recognition of deferred income tax assets is warranted.

There were Canadian and provincial net operating losses of approximately $45,041 thousand (2021: $39,823 thousand) and $52,004 thousand (2021: $43,482 thousand) respectively, that may be applied against earnings of future years. Utilization of the net operating losses is subject to significant limitations imposed by the change in control provisions. Canadian and provincial losses will be expiring between 2026 and 2042. A portion of the net operating losses may expire before they can be utilized.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to finance the Company's Rizaport and Buprenorphine programs as well as for working capital. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid a cash commission of approximately $53,000 in the aggregate and issued non-transferable agent warrants, entitling the agent to purchase 304,000 shares at a price of $0.20 per share until March 21, 2025.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (and collectively with IntelGenx Corp., our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, "IntelGenx" or the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("USA"). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. On consolidation, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The financial statements are expressed in U.S. funds.

Management has performed an evaluation of the Company's activities through the date and time these financial statements were issued and concluded that there are no additional significant events requiring recognition or disclosure.

 

2. Going Concern

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes and debentures, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, and research and development revenues. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,077. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Company's control:

  • Raise funding through the possible sale of the Company's common stock, including public or private equity financings.

2. Going Concern (Cont'd)

  • Raise funding through debt financing.

  • Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline.

  • Expand oral film manufacturing activities.

  • Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities.

If the Company is unable to raise further capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to potentially delay, reduce or eliminate some of its research and development programs and commercial activities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company may enter into licensing and collaboration agreements for product development, licensing, supply and manufacturing for its product pipeline. The terms of the agreements may include non-refundable signing and licensing fees, milestone payments and royalties on any product sales derived from collaborations. These contracts are analyzed to identify all performance obligations forming part of these contracts. The transaction price of the contract is then determined. The transaction price is allocated between all performance obligations on a residual standalone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price is estimated based on the comparable market prices, expected cost plus margin and the Company's historical experience.

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

The following is a description of principal activities - separated by nature - from which the Company generates its revenue.

Product revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the following conditions are met: delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; the collectability is reasonably assured and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.



3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

Research and Development Revenue

Revenues with corporate collaborators are recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

Licensing and Collaboration Arrangements

Licenses are considered to be right-to-use licenses. As such, the Company recognizes the licenses revenues at a point in time, upon granting the licenses.

Milestone payments are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license, research and other revenues in the period during which the adjustment is recognized. The process of successfully achieving the criteria for the milestone payments is highly uncertain. Consequently, there is significant risk that the Company may not earn all of the milestone payments for each of its contracts.

Royalties are typically calculated as a percentage of net sales realized by the Company's licensees of its products (including their sub-licensees), as specifically defined in each agreement. The licensees' sales generally consist of revenues from product sales of the Company's product pipeline and net sales are determined by deducting the following: estimates for chargebacks, rebates, sales incentives and allowances, returns and losses and other customary deductions in each region where the Company has licensees. Revenues arising from royalties are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

Leasehold Improvements and Equipment

Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are based on their estimated useful lives using the methods as follows:

On the declining balance method -  
   
Laboratory and office equipment 20%
Computer equipment 30%
   
On the straight-line method -  
Leasehold improvements over the lease term
Manufacturing equipment 5 - 10 years


3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Leases

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria.

Substantially all of the Company's operating leases are comprised of office space and property leases. The finance leases are comprised of laboratory equipment leases.

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early.

Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-tern leases that have a term of 12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases on our right-of-use asset and lease liability was not material.



4. Inventory

Inventory as at September 30, 2023 consisted of raw materials in the amount of $81 thousand (2022: $62 thousand).

As at September 30, 2023, no depreciation has been recorded on manufacturing equipment in the amount of $1,718 thousand (2022 - $1,715 thousand) as this equipment is not yet in use.

 

6. Bank Indebtedness

The Company's credit facility is subject to review annually and consists of corporate credits cards of up to CAD$50 thousand ($37 thousand) and $30 thousand, and foreign exchange contracts limited to CAD$425 thousand ($314 thousand).

 

7. Loan Payable

atai Life Sciences ("atai") has granted to the Company a secured loan in the amount of $8,500,000, bearing interest at 8%. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and secured by all present and future movable property, rights and assets of the Company, excluding any intellectual property or technology controlled or owned by the Company. 

On August 31, 2023, the Company entered into an amending agreement (the "Amending Agreement") in respect of the amended and restated loan agreement dated as of September 14, 2021 (the "Loan Agreement") between the Company, as borrower, and atai, as lender pursuant to which, among other things, the maturity date of the Loan Agreement was extended from January 5, 2024 to January 5, 2025, and the Company granted additional security to atai over any non-licensed intellectual property of the Company (the "Loan Amendment"). The transaction is accounted for as a modification. The impact of the modification on the financial statements was insignificant.



7. Loan Payable (Cont'd)

On September 30, 2023, the Company and atai also agreed, subject to obtaining TSX and Shareholder approvals, to enter into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement (the "Second Amendment") to provide, among other things, for the ability for atai to convert the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Loan Agreement into Shares.

The interest for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 amounts to $501,000 (2022: $311,000) and is recorded in financing and interest expense.

The components of the Company's debt are as follows:

    September 30, 2023
$
    December 31, 2022

Loan payable to atai   8,500     5,500

Total long-term debt   8,500     5,500  

 

8. Convertible Notes

On August 31, 2023 the Company announced the closing of the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of units ("Units") from atai for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$3 million, including US$750,000 to be received by the Company pursuant to the Subsequent atai Subscription (as defined below) once the Shareholder Approvals (as defined below) have been obtained.

Pursuant to the Offering, (i) United States subscribers can subscribe for Units (the "US Units") at a price of US$1,000 per US Unit, each US Unit being comprised of a US$1,000 principal amount convertible promissory note (the "US Notes") and 5,405 common stock purchase warrants (the "US Warrants").

The US Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") at the option of the holder at a price of US$0.185 (the "US Conversion Price"), at anytime from the date that is six (6) months following their issuance up to and including August 31, 2026, and bear interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, with first payment due September 30, 2023 and every 3 months thereafter. The US Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase Shares at a price of US$0.26 per Share, for a period of 3 years following their issuance.

atai, a significant shareholder and partner of the Company, subscribed for 2,220 US Units for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of US$2,220,000 (the "Initial atai Proceeds").
