4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and its subsidiary, Gemini Therapeutics Sub, Inc., after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto have been prepared in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the FASB.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial information, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or any other period. The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with Old Gemini’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Form 8-K/A as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021.

As a result of the Business Combination, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and loss per share related to Old Gemini’s outstanding convertible preferred stock and common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the Conversion Ratio established in the Merger Agreement. For additional information regarding the Business Combination, please refer to Note 3, Business Combination, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates contained within these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accruals of research and development expenses, share-based awards utilized for stock-based compensation purposes and, prior to the Business Combination, the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock and warrant liability. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of initial purchase to be cash equivalents. The objectives of the Company’s cash management policy are to safeguard and preserve funds to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet the Company’s cash flow requirements and to attain a market rate of return. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market mutual funds as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash amounted to $323 thousand as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which consists of $100 thousand to collateralize the Company’s credit card and $223 thousand to collateralize its irrevocable standby letter of credit for its facility lease arrangement. The letter of credit is in the name of the landlord and is required to fulfill lease requirements in the event the Company should default on its lease obligation.

A reconciliation of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the Company’s balance sheets to the Company’s statements of cash flows is as follows (in thousands):

Concentration of credit risk and of significant suppliers

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in amounts that could exceed federally insured limits. Cash equivalents are invested in money market funds. The Company maintains each of its cash balances with high-quality and accredited financial institutions and accordingly, such funds are not exposed to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company is dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities in its programs. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of manufacturers to supply its requirements for the active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated drugs related to these programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated drugs.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Costs for capital assets not yet placed in service are capitalized and depreciated once placed into service. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations. Expenditures for normal, recurring or periodic repairs and maintenance activities are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, comprised of property and equipment, to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment losses on long-lived assets.

Offering costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering. Should the in-process equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company had no deferred offering costs as of June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded deferred offering costs of $2.6 million related to the costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination.

Fair value measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be

10

classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The Company’s cash equivalents and preferred stock warrant liability (outstanding as of December 31, 2020 only) are carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 5). The carrying values of the Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s term loan as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (see Note 7) approximated fair value based on interest rates currently available to the Company.

Debt issuance costs

The carrying value of the Company’s term loan was recorded net of issuance costs and discount relating to the issuance of warrants. The debt discounts are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method and recognized as interest expense.

Warrants

In February 2019, concurrent with the Company’s term loan agreement (see Note 7), the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of Old Gemini’s Series A preferred stock. The Company accounted for the warrants to purchase Series A preferred stock as a liability as these warrants were freestanding financial instruments that may have required the Company to transfer assets upon exercise. The fair value of the warrants classified as liabilities is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The estimates in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model are based, in part, on subjective assumptions, including, stock price volatility, term of the warrants, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the fair value of the preferred stock underlying the warrants. Such assumptions could differ materially in the future.

At the closing of the Business Combination, the warrants were automatically exercised for 15,257 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Segment information

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s singular focus is the development of novel therapies for genetically defined, age-related macular degeneration. The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating segment and has one reportable segment. The Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Research and development contract costs and accruals

Research and development expenses include employee payroll, consulting, contract research, depreciation, rent and other corporate costs attributable to research and development activities and are expensed as incurred.

Upfront payments and milestone payments made for the licensing of technology are expensed as research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. The prepaid amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

The Company has entered into various research and development contracts with companies both inside and outside of the United States. These agreements are generally cancelable, and related payments are recorded as research and development expenses as incurred. The Company records accruals for estimated ongoing research costs. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes progress of the studies or trials, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Significant judgments and estimates are made in determining the accrued balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s historical accrual estimates have not been materially different from the actual costs.

11

Patent costs

The Company expenses all patent-related costs incurred in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications. It records such costs within general and administrative expenses in its accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-based compensation

The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employees based on the fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. The Company grants stock options and restricted stock awards that are subject to either service or performance-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense related to awards to employees and non-employees with performance-based vesting conditions is recognized based on the grant date fair value over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method to the extent achievement of the performance condition is probable. The Company estimates the probability that certain performance criteria will be met and does not recognize compensation expense until it is probable that the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved.

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

Determination of Fair Value – Preferred and Common Stock

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination transaction, given that there had been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the estimated fair value of its common stock was determined by its most recently available third-party valuations of common stock. These third-party valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The Company’s common stock valuations were prepared using an option pricing method, or OPM, or a hybrid method, both of which used market approaches to estimate its enterprise value. The OPM treats common stock and preferred stock as call options on the total equity value of a company, with exercise prices based on the value thresholds at which the allocation among the various holders of a company’s securities changes. Under this method, the common stock has value only if the funds available for distribution to stockholders exceeded the value of the preferred stock liquidation preferences at the time of the liquidity event, such as a strategic sale or a merger. A discount for lack of marketability of the common stock is then applied to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock. The hybrid method is a probability-weighted expected return method, or PWERM, where the equity value in one or more scenarios is calculated using an OPM. The PWERM is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value of the Company’s common stock based upon an analysis of its future values, assuming various outcomes. The common stock value is based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available as well as the rights of each class of stock. The future value of the common stock under each outcome is discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate and probability weighted to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock. There are significant judgments and estimates inherent in the determination of the fair value of the Company’s common stock. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions, the prices at which the Company sold shares of preferred securities, the superior rights and preferences of securities senior to the common securities at the time of, and the likelihood of, achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale. Significant changes to the key assumptions used in the valuations could result in different fair values of common stock at each valuation date.

Subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, the fair value of each share of common stock underlying stock-based awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by Nasdaq on the date of grant.

Determination of Fair Value – Stock Option Awards

The fair value of each restricted common stock award is estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on that same date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company was a private company and, therefore, lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, it estimated its expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The expected term of options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the

12

award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by analyzing carryback capacity in periods with taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent an income tax provision is necessary, the provision for income taxes would include the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties.

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. There was no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss for each of the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net loss per share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is required for entities that have participating securities. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and participating securities based on dividends declared (or accumulated) and participating rights in undistributed earnings as if all the earnings for the reporting period had been distributed.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net loss attributable to common stockholders to reallocate undistributed earnings based on the potential impact of dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common stock. For purpose of this calculation, outstanding options, unvested restricted common stock and convertible preferred stock are considered potential dilutive common stock and are excluded from the computation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to be outstanding if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Emerging growth company status

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions until it is no longer an EGC under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, which provides that an EGC can take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to avail itself of the extended transition period and, therefore, while the Company is an EGC it will not be subject to new or revised accounting standards at the same time that they become applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs, unless it chooses to early adopt a new or revised accounting standard. As a result of this election, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company FASB standards’ effective dates.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, (“ASU 2018-18”). The amendments in this update clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account and precludes recognizing as revenue consideration received from a collaborative arrangement participant if the participant is not a customer. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company had no transactions applicable to this guidance; however, the standard may impact how the Company accounts for certain business transactions in the future.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU 2016-02”), which replaces the existing guidance for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve-month term, these arrangements must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which has been subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU No. 2019-10, ASU No. 2019-11 and ASU No. 2020-3 (“ASU 2016-13”). The provisions of ASU 2016-13 modify the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology and require a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2016-13 may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact ASU 2018-18 will have on its financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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”), which reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock as well as amends the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Fair value measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (in thousands) on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:

14

The values of cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 measurements under the fair value hierarchy, as these assets have been valued using quoted market prices in active markets and do not have any restrictions on redemption. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash equivalents were comprised of funds in money market accounts. There were no transfers or reclassifications between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The value of the warrant liability is classified as a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy, as this liability has been valued based on significant inputs not observable in the market.

Warrants to purchase Series A Preferred Stock

In February 2019, concurrent with the Company’s term loan agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 15,257 shares of Old Gemini’s Series A preferred stock. The warrants had an exercise price of $5.46 per share and expired in February 2029, representing a contractual term of ten years from issuance. At the closing of the Business Combination, the warrants were automatically exercised for 15,257 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The fair value of the warrants was recorded as a liability on the date of issuance and was revalued at the end of each reporting period until being exercised upon the closing of the Business Combination.

The following table sets forth a summary of the activities of the Company’s Series A preferred stock warrant liability, which represents a recurring measurement that is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy wherein fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs (in thousands):

6. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

7. Term loan

On February 8, 2019, the Company entered into a term loan facility of up to $10.0 million (the “Term Loan”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The proceeds were used for general corporate and working capital purposes. Concurrent with the Term Loan, the Company issued SVB warrants to purchase 15,257 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $5.46 (see Note 5). As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $7.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in principal outstanding under the Term Loan.

The Term Loan is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated February 8, 2019, between the Company and SVB (the “SVB Loan Agreement”). The SVB Loan Agreement provided for two separate tranches under which the Company could borrow. The first tranche for $7.5 million was available as single term loan advance until January 31, 2020. The second tranche was also available until January 31, 2020 as single term loan advance for $2.5 million and required that the Company meet a certain milestone event. On April 18, 2019, the Company borrowed $7.5 million under the first tranche, and on December 17, 2019, the Company borrowed $2.5 million under the second tranche having satisfied the milestone requirement.

15

The Term Loan initially matured on July 1, 2022 and accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the greater of 3.75% or the prime rate minus 1.5% (1.75% as of June 30, 2021). The Term Loan initially provided for monthly interest-only payments until July 31, 2020. Thereafter, payments are payable in equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may prepay the Term Loan in whole upon 5 days’ prior written notice to SVB. Any such prepayment of the Term Loan is subject to a prepayment charge of 0.5% of the then outstanding principal balance. Amounts outstanding during an event of default are payable upon SVB’s demand and will accrue interest at an additional rate of 5.0% per annum of the past due amount outstanding.

On April 7, 2020, the Company entered into a deferral agreement with SVB to defer scheduled principal repayments on its term loan by six months. The deferral agreement was offered to the Company in connection with SVB’s venture debt relief initiative, which was started due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s first principal payment under its credit facility occurred in February 2021. The required monthly interest-only payment was not impacted by the deferral. The Term Loan’s new maturity date is January 1, 2023. After considering the debt guidance in ASC 470, the Company concluded that it did not meet the indicators of a troubled debt restructuring and accounted for the deferral of principal payment as a debt modification. Since there were no fees paid to SVB in connection with the deferral agreement, the modification had no impact to the Company’s financial statements.

At the end of the loan term (whether at maturity, by prepayment in full or otherwise), the Company is required to pay a final end of term charge to SVB in the amount of 4.0% of the aggregate original principal amount advanced by SVB. The amount of the end of term charge is being accrued over the loan term as interest expense. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company accrued $308 thousand and $239 thousand, respectively, related to the end of term charge, which has been classified within other long-term liabilities.

The SVB Loan Agreement includes a provision under which SVB may accelerate the scheduled maturities of the Term Loan under conditions that are not objectively determinable. The Company evaluated the likelihood of such acceleration and determined that it is not probable and classified the Term Loan on the balance sheet in accordance with the repayment schedule as of June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, scheduled principal payments for the Term Loan are as follows (in thousands):

Interest expense was approximately $121 thousand and $107 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximately $259 thousand and $260 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

8. Convertible promissory notes

On August 21, 2020, Old Gemini entered into a purchase agreement with various investors to issue $14.0 million in convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). The Notes accrued simple interest at 8% per annum. The Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) exists and should be recognized on the issuance date. The Company recorded the Notes at the original issuance price, net of the BCF discount. The BCF discount was accreted to the face value of the Notes over the period from the issuance date until the maturity date, offset against interest expense.

The Notes served as a bridge loan prior to the PIPE Financing that was completed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. The Notes were intended to automatically convert into shares of common stock issued in the PIPE Financing at a per share conversion price equal to the lowest per share price paid for such shares of common stock in the PIPE Financing. The Notes were amended to allow for the principal and interest to convert to shares of Series B preferred stock prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes converted into 2,341,316 shares of Series B preferred stock at a per share conversion price of $6.1986 and the Notes liability was extinguished. The Company recorded other expense of $0.7 million for the difference between the reacquisition price of the Notes and the net carrying amount of the Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

16

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Notes was as follows (in thousands):

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized interest expense of $0 and $1.7 million, respectively.

9. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

The condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) has been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Business Combination and reverse recapitalization as defined in Note 3, Business Combination.

Preferred Stock

Upon closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation dated February 5, 2021, the Company authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value $0.0001 per share. The Company’s board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue such shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers, voting, and other rights, preferences and privileges of the shares. There were no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock as of June 30, 2021.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, all previously issued and outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock and Series B convertible preferred stock were exchanged for common stock of the Company pursuant to the Conversion Ratio established in the Merger Agreement. All fractional shares were rounded down.

Common Stock

Pursuant to the term of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company authorized 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Immediately following the closing of the Business Combination and as of June 30, 2021, there were 42,998,664 and 43,055,112 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

As discussed in Note 3, Business Combination, the Company has retroactively adjusted the shares issued and outstanding prior to February 5, 2021 to give effect to the Conversion Ratio established in the Merger Agreement to determine the number of shares of common stock into which they were converted.

Voting

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

Dividends

Common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends, as may be declared by the board of directors. No dividends have been declared to date.

10. Equity incentive plan

2017 Old Gemini Equity Incentive Plan

Old Gemini’s 2017 Stock Option and Grant Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”), provided for the Company to grant qualified incentive options, nonqualified options, stock grants and other stock-based awards to employees and non-employees to purchase the Company’s common stock. The 2017 Plan was administered by the board of directors, or at the discretion of the board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors.

The exercise price for incentive options was determined at the discretion of the board of directors. All incentive options granted to any person possessing less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock may not have an exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. All incentive options granted to any person possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock may not have an exercise price of less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

The option term for incentive awards may not be greater than ten years from the date of the grant. Incentive options granted to persons possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock may not have an option term of greater than five years from the date of the grant. The vesting period for equity-based awards under the 2017 Plan was determined at the discretion of the board of directors, which was generally four years. For awards granted to employees and non-employees with four-year vesting terms, 25% of the option vests on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining stock vest equally each month for three years thereafter.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Company ceased granting awards under the 2017 Plan. All awards under the 2017 Plan continue in full force and effect on the same terms and conditions as were previously applicable to such awards, subject to adjustments to the exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise based on the Conversion Ratio.

Conversion of Awards

Each Old Gemini option from the 2017 Plan and each option from Old Gemini’s 2015 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2015 Plan”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of common stock (each such option, an "Exchanged Option") equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Old Gemini common stock subject to such Old Gemini option immediately prior to the Business Combination and (ii) the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Old Gemini option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, divided by (B) the Conversion Ratio. Each Exchanged Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Old Gemini option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. All stock option activity was retroactively restated to reflect the Exchanged Options.

As of the Closing Date, the 10,567,508 options and 163,157 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding under the 2017 Plan and 2015 Plan were converted into 2,303,309 options and 35,561 RSUs upon completion of the Business Combination after effect of the Conversion Ratio. This effect of the Conversion Ratio has been retroactively adjusted throughout the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2021 Gemini Equity Incentive Plan

On February 3, 2021, FSDC’s stockholders approved the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), pursuant to which 4,264,341 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. The 2021 Plan provides for the Company to grant incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options for the purchase of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards and dividend equivalent rights to employees, officers, directors and consultants of Gemini. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. The 2021 Plan is administered by the plan administrator, which is the Compensation Committee of Gemini’s board of directors, provided therein, which has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the 2021 Plan, to interpret the 2021 Plan; determine eligibility for and grant awards; determine form of settlement of awards (whether in cash, shares of stock, other property or a combination of the foregoing), determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any award; prescribe forms, rules and procedures; and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the 2021 Plan. As of June 30, 2021, 498,602 shares remained available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan.

The exercise price of each award granted under the 2021 Plan requiring exercise will be 100% of the fair market value of stock subject to the award, determined as of the date of the grant, or such higher amount as the plan administrator may determine in connection with the grant, and the term of stock option may not be greater than ten years. The vesting and other restrictions are determined at the discretion of the plan administrator.

2021 Inducement Plan

On February 12, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2021 Inducement Plan. The 2021 Inducement Plan is a non-stockholder approved stock plan under which the Company grants equity awards to induce highly-qualified prospective officers and employees who are not currently employed by the Company to accept employment and provide them with a proprietary interest in the Company. The Company intends that the 2021 Inducement Plan be reserved for persons to whom the Company may issue securities without stockholder approval as an inducement pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. The 2021 Inducement Plan is administered by the board of directors or the Compensation Committee of the board, which determines the types of awards to be granted, including the number of shares subject to the awards, the exercise price and the vesting schedule. Awards granted under the 2021 Inducement Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. As of June 30, 2021, 983,949 shares were available for issuance under the 2021 Inducement Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories of its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (in thousands):

11. Net loss per share

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company has retroactively restated the weighted average shares outstanding prior to February 5, 2021 to give effect to the Conversion Ratio.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of the Company (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The Company’s unvested restricted common shares have been excluded from the computation of basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include options and unvested restricted stock, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

12. Commitments and contingencies

Commitments

The Company’s most significant contracts relate to agreements with clinical research organizations (“CROs”) for clinical trials and preclinical studies and clinical manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), which the Company enters into in the normal course of business. The contracts with CROs and CMOs are generally cancellable, with notice, at the Company’s option. The Company also has commitments related to facility leases, debt obligations, license agreements and other purchase obligations.

License agreements

Finally, the Company is required to make royalty payments of between 1.25% and 2.50% of net product sales if commercialization is achieved. The financial statements as of June 30, 2021 do not include liabilities with respect to this agreement as the Company has not yet generated revenue and the achievement of certain milestones is not probable.

As consideration for the license, the Company paid a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable initial license fee of $75 thousand. In addition, an annual non-refundable, non-creditable development fee of $65 thousand is due on each anniversary date. The 2018 License Agreement includes additional consideration of $275 thousand contingent upon future commercialization of each licensed product. As the Company has not yet generated revenue from operations, no provision was included in the financial statements with respect to the additional consideration under the 2018 License Agreement as of June 30, 2021.

In March 2019, the Company entered into a second Cell Line License Agreement with Life Technologies Corporation (the “2019 License Agreement”) to obtain non-exclusive use of a CTS Viral Production cell line for producing genetically engineered adeno-associated virus particles to be used in human therapeutics.

The 2018 Master License Agreement includes additional consideration upon the achievement of certain development, commercial and sales milestones totaling up to $700 thousand, $2.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Finally, the Company is required to make royalty payments of 1.25% of net product sales if commercialization is achieved. The financial statements as of June 30, 2021 do not include liabilities with respect to additional consideration under this agreement as the Company has not yet generated revenue and the achievement of certain milestones is not probable.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a GPEx-Derived Cell Line Sale Agreement with Catalent Pharma Solutions, LLC (the “2019 Sale Agreement”) to purchase all right, title and interest in and to the GPEx Cell Line.

Certain milestone payments may be waived if Catalent manufactures >50% of the total product required for the relevant clinical trial. The financial statements as of June 30, 2021 do not include liabilities with respect to this agreement as the Company has not yet generated revenue and the achievement of certain milestones is not probable.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Old Gemini’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Form 8-K/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2021. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section to “Gemini,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to Old Gemini (as defined below) prior to the Business Combination (as defined below) and to Gemini and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage precision medicine company developing novel therapeutic compounds to treat genetically defined, age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”). Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is a recombinant form of the human complement factor H protein (“CFH”) and is designed to address complement hyperactivity and overall dysregulation caused by loss of function mutations thus restoring retinal health in patients with AMD. Native CFH serves multiple functions in maintaining retinal health, including regulating lipid metabolism in the retina, protecting the retina against lipid and protein by-products of oxidative stress, and regulating the complement system, which is part of the innate immune system. This multifaceted regulation plays an integral role in engagement and maintenance of complement-mediated immune responses that are involved in pathogen defense and cellular debris clearance.

Since inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all our efforts and financial resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, discovering product candidates and securing related intellectual property rights and conducting research and development activities for our product candidates. We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have not generated any revenue from product sales. We may never be able to develop or commercialize a marketable product.

Our lead product candidate, GEM103, is in Phase 2a clinical development and our other product candidates and research initiatives are in preclinical or earlier stages of development. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. We have not yet successfully completed any pivotal clinical trials, nor have we obtained any regulatory approvals, manufactured a commercial-scale drug, or conducted sales and marketing activities. Prior to the Business Combination (as defined below), we primarily financed our operations through the sale of convertible preferred stock, borrowings under convertible promissory notes and borrowings from our term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank, (“SVB”).

Risks & liquidity

To date, we have not had any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to do so for several years, if at all. All of our programs are still in preclinical or clinical development. Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates.

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception. Our net losses were $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $148.3 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and expect our research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses to continue to increase. We expect that our expenses and capital requirements will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing development activities, particularly if and as we:
