NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. |
Description of Business and Basis of Preparation |
Organization
SCYNEXIS, Inc. (“SCYNEXIS” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on November 4, 1999. SCYNEXIS is a biotechnology company, headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, and is pioneering innovative medicines to potentially help millions of patients worldwide in need of new options to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. The Company is developing its lead product candidate, ibrexafungerp, as a broad-spectrum, intravenous (“IV”)/oral agent for multiple fungal indications in both the community and hospital settings. In June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved BREXAFEMME® (ibrexafungerp tablets) for treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (“VVC”), also known as vaginal yeast infection, and the Company has commenced the commercialization of BREXAFEMME in the U.S.
The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its initial public offering in May 2014 and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program
The New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) program, administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, enables approved biotechnology companies to sell their unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) and research and development tax credits to unaffiliated, profitable corporate taxpayers in the State of New Jersey. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a $
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and judgements include: revenue recognition including gross to net estimates and the identification of performance obligations in licensing

arrangements, determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation grants; the estimate of services and effort expended by third-party research and development service providers used to recognize research and development expense; and the estimates and assumptions utilized in measuring the fair values of the warrant and derivative liabilities each reporting period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as described below.
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share of Common Stock
The Company calculates net (loss) income per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net (loss) income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was determined by dividing net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Per ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding utilized for determining the basic net (loss) income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes the outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase

Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2019-10”), which revised the effective dates for ASU 2016-13 for public business entities that meet the SEC definition of a smaller reporting company to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in and Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The amendments in ASU 2020-06 reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and revises certain guidance relating to the derivative scope exception and earnings per share. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer and a smaller reporting company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those years. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

License Arrangement with Potential Future Expenditures
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a license arrangement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., or Merck, as amended, that involves potential future expenditures. Under the license arrangement, executed in May 2013, the Company exclusively licensed from Merck its rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health. In January 2014, Merck assigned the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to the Company. Ibrexafungerp is the Company's lead product candidate. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, Merck was originally eligible to receive milestone payments from the Company that could total $
In December 2014, the Company and Merck entered into an amendment to the license agreement that deferred the remittance of a milestone payment due to Merck, such that no amount would be due upon initiation of the first Phase 2 clinical trial of a product containing the ibrexafungerp compound (the “Deferred Milestone”). The amendment also increased, in an amount equal to the Deferred Milestone, the milestone payment that would be due upon initiation of the first Phase 3 clinical trial of a product containing the ibrexafungerp compound. In December 2016 and January 2018, the Company entered into second and third amendments to the license agreement with Merck which clarified what would constitute the initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial for the purpose of milestone payment. In January 2019, a milestone payment became due to Merck as a result of the initiation of the VANISH Phase 3 VVC program and was paid in March 2019. On December 2, 2020, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the license agreement with Merck. The amendment eliminates two cash milestone payments that the Company would have paid to Merck upon the first filing of an NDA, triggered by the FDA acceptance for filing of the Company’s NDA for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of VVC, and first marketing approval in the U.S. Such cash milestone payments would have been creditable against future royalties owed to Merck on net sales of ibrexafungerp. With the amendment, these milestones will not be paid in cash and, accordingly, credits will not accrue. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company will also forfeit the credits against future royalties that it had accrued from a prior milestone payment already paid to Merck. All other key terms of the license agreement are unchanged.

April 2022 Public Offering
On April 22, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the offering, issuance and sale (the “April 2022 Public Offering”) of (a)
The prefunded warrants are classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging given the prefunded warrants are indexed to the Company’s own shares of common stock and meet the requirements to be classified in equity. The prefunded warrants were recorded at their relative fair value at issuance in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet and the prefunded warrants are considered outstanding shares in the basic earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 given their nominal exercise price.
Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Sales Agreement
On April 10, 2020, the Company entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Aspire Capital from time to time in its sole discretion up to $
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold
Warrants Associated with the March 2018, December 2020 and April 2022 Public Offerings
The outstanding warrants associated with the March 2018 and December 2020 public offerings contain a provision where the warrant holder has the option to receive cash, equal to the Black-Scholes fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant, as cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined to include various merger, acquisition or stock transfer activities). Due to this provision, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires that these warrants be classified as liabilities. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The outstanding warrants associated with the April 2022 public offering meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and do not meet the derivative scope exception given the warrants do not qualify under the indexation guidance. As a result, the April 2022 public offering warrants were initially recognized as liabilities and measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Issuance costs of $

Fair Value Measurements |
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

The Company measures cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the warrant liabilities for which there is no current market such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the Level 3 warrant liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility. The unobservable input for all of the Level 3 warrant liabilities includes volatility. The historical and implied volatility of the Company, using its closing common stock prices and market data, is utilized to reflect future volatility over the expected term of the warrants. At June 30, 2022, the range and weighted average of the Level 3 volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model to fair value the warrant liabilities were
The Company uses the binomial lattice valuation model to value the Level 3 derivative liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, dividend yield, risk-free rate, adjusted equity volatility, credit rating, market credit spread, and estimated effective yield. The unobservable inputs associated with the Level 3 derivative liabilities are adjusted equity volatility, market credit spread, and estimated yield. As of June 30, 2022, these inputs were

Overview
SCYNEXIS, Inc. is pioneering innovative medicines to potentially help millions of patients worldwide in need of new options to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. We are developing our lead product candidate, ibrexafungerp, as a broad-spectrum, intravenous (IV)/oral agent for multiple fungal indications in both the community and hospital settings. In June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) for treatment of patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), also known as vaginal yeast infection, and we have commenced the commercialization of BREXAFEMME in the U.S. We also are continuing late-stage clinical development of ibrexafungerp for multiple indications, including the treatment of life-threatening invasive fungal infections caused primarily by Candida spp. (including C. auris) and Aspergillus spp. in hospitalized patients.
Ibrexafungerp, the first representative of a novel class of antifungal agents called triterpenoids, is a structurally distinct glucan synthase inhibitor and has shown in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad range of human fungal pathogens such as Candida and Aspergillus genera, including multidrug-resistant strains, as well as Pneumocystis, Coccidioides, Histoplasma and Blastomyce genera. Candida and Aspergillus genera are the fungi responsible for approximately 85% of all invasive fungal infections in the United States (U.S.) and Europe. To date, we have characterized the antifungal activity, pharmacokinetics, and safety profile of the oral and IV formulations of ibrexafungerp in multiple in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. The FDA has granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) and Fast Track designations to ibrexafungerp for the indications of VVC (including the prevention of recurrent VVC), invasive candidiasis (IC) (including candidemia), and invasive aspergillosis (IA), and has granted Orphan Drug designations for the IC and IA indications. The European Medicines Agency has granted Orphan Medicinal Product designation to ibrexafungerp for IC. These designations may provide us with additional market exclusivity and expedited regulatory paths.
BREXAFEMME Update
In June 2021, the FDA approved BREXAFEMME for use in women with VVC. This approval was based on positive results from two Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center studies (VANISH-303 and VANISH-306), in which oral ibrexafungerp demonstrated statistically superior efficacy compared to placebo and a favorable tolerability profile in women with VVC. The FDA granted BREXAFEMME five years of exclusivity extension under the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act, which will be added to any other applicable exclusivity periods, such as the five years of new chemical entity (NCE) exclusivity, for a combined ten-year period of regulatory exclusivity. BREXAFEMME also is protected by multiple patents, including a composition-of-matter patent covering the ibrexafungerp molecule. With patent term extension, this patent is expected to expire in 2035, providing an expected 13 years of protection from generic competitors in the U.S.
Treatments for VVC have historically included several topical azole antifungals and oral fluconazole. Approximately 80% of VVC sufferers will have more than one yeast infection and over a third of women may have six yeast infections or more in a lifetime. There are over 17 million prescriptions written for VVC in the U.S. annually; before BREXAFEMME was approved, all of which belonged to a single drug class, the azoles, before the approval of BREXAFEMME. As of June 30, 2022, BREXAFEMME was covered by plans representing more than 109 million or 60% of commercially-insured lives, an increase of 17% over the first quarter of 2022. According to IQVIA data, there were approximately 5,141 total prescriptions for
19
BREXAFEMME written in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 29% over the first quarter of 2022. BREXAFEMME was prescribed by over 2,200 individual healthcare professionals in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 25% over the first quarter of 2022. We anticipate FDA approval for a second indication in 2022 for prevention of recurrent VVC (RVVC), with the potential for peak U.S. sales combined for the treatment of VVC and RVVC estimated over $400 million.
Ibrexafungerp Update
The CANDLE study, a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ibrexafungerp for the prevention of RVVC, defined as three or more infections in a 12-month period, was completed in April 2022. In August 2022, we announced that the FDA has accepted our submission of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to expand the label of BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) to include the prevention of RVVC. The FDA granted the submission Priority Review and assigned the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target decision date as November 30, 2022. If approved for this second indication, BREXAFEMME, an oral non-azole therapy, would be the first and only product approved in the U.S. for both the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and the prevention of RVVC.
The CANDLE study met its primary endpoint, with 65.4% of patients who received monthly single-day ibrexafungerp treatment achieving clinical success with no recurrence at all, either culture-proven, presumed or suspected, through Week 24, compared to 53.1% of placebo-treated patients (p=0.02). In addition, ibrexafungerp demonstrated superiority over placebo in preventing mycologically proven recurrence of RVVC through Week 24, a key secondary endpoint. No mycologically proven recurrence was detected in 70.8% of patients receiving ibrexafungerp, compared to 58.5% of placebo-treated patients (p=0.019). The advantage of ibrexafungerp over placebo was sustained over the three-month follow-up period and remained statistically significant in both primary and secondary endpoints (p=0.034 and 0.029, respectively).
In addition, the CANDLE study evaluated a sub-group of 24 patients who failed to respond to the initial three doses of fluconazole 150 mg on Days 1, 3, and 7. Sub-study participants received a one-day open-label treatment course of ibrexafungerp (300 mg BID). Results show that 71% of patients in the ITT population (vaginal signs and symptoms score greater than or equal to 3 after treatment with fluconazole; N=24) achieved a significant reduction or elimination of signs and symptoms following ibrexafungerp treatment. In addition, 80% of the mITT population (mycologically proven VVC after treatment with fluconazole; N=10) had a significant reduction or elimination of signs and symptoms.
In the CANDLE study, ibrexafungerp was generally safe and well-tolerated. There were no serious drug-related adverse events, and no patients treated with ibrexafungerp discontinued therapy due to adverse events. The most commonly-reported adverse events, headaches and gastrointestinal in nature (i.e., diarrhea, nausea), were mostly mild and generally consistent with the current BREXAFEMME label.
In the second quarter of 2022, enrollment began in a new Phase 3b, open-label, multicenter study (VANQUISH) to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral ibrexafungerp as a treatment for complicated VVC in patients who have failed treatment with fluconazole, based on mycological and clinical outcomes. The VANQUISH study will enroll approximately 150 complicated VVC patients who will receive 600 mg of oral ibrexafungerp for one, three or seven consecutive days determined by their underlying complicating condition, including immunocompromised state. Complicated patients include patients with recurrent VVC, those with VVC caused by non-albicans Candida species and those with diabetes, immunocompromising conditions (e.g., HIV), or immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., corticosteroids). The VANQUISH study will be conducted in approximately 25 centers in the U.S. and we are targeting to have data from this study in the second half of 2024.
Enrollment has begun in our prospective, randomized, double-blind, global Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral ibrexafungerp as a step-down therapy for patients with IC including candidemia following IV echinocandin therapy in the hospital compared to currently available therapies (the MARIO study). Eligible patients with IC will receive treatment with IV echinocandin and will then be switched to either oral ibrexafungerp or a standard of care option, either oral fluconazole or best available therapy (BAT) for subjects with infections caused by fluconazole non-susceptible strains, once step-down criteria are met. Approximately 220 patients will be enrolled and randomized in the study, and we expect topline results in 2024 and a potential approval by the end of 2024.
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether treatment of IC with IV echinocandins followed by oral ibrexafungerp is as effective as treatment with IV echinocandins followed by oral fluconazole (or BAT), the current standard of care. The primary end point of the study will be all-cause mortality at 30 days after initiation of antifungal therapy. Approximately 35,000 cases of IC in the U.S. per year are caused by the Candida isolates that are resistant to azoles, a population for which ibrexafungerp could provide a much-needed oral alternative.
We achieved a target enrollment of 200 patients in our Phase 3 FURI study investigating the potential of ibrexafungerp as a treatment for fungal infections that are refractory or intolerant to other antifungals, including infections caused by Candida
20
auris (C. auris), and anticipate study completion activities in the first half of 2023 with a Data Review Committee review and topline data in early 2024. We are also on track with our Phase 3 CARES study which will follow similar completion and reporting timing to the Phase 3 FURI study. The data from the MARIO study along with data from FURI and CARES studies are intended to be supportive of an NDA submission in 2024 with an anticipated first approval for an indication in the hospital setting later in 2024.
We completed our Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single and multiple ascending dose study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the liposomal IV formulation of ibrexafungerp in 64 healthy subjects with treatment durations of up to seven days. The liposomal IV formulation of ibrexafungerp was designed to optimize tolerability and address dose-limiting infusion site irritation adverse events observed with previous formulations. The liposomal IV formulation of ibrexafungerp was generally well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported. The most common adverse events were mostly mild (few moderate) reactions at the infusion site. The dosing was successfully progressed until the target exposure was achieved (i.e., exposure associated with efficacy from animal models). We have begun to scale up manufacturing to enable additional liposomal IV formulation trials and are anticipating consultations with the FDA for the next stage of development by the end of 2022.
Enrollment is ongoing in our Phase 2 SCYNERGIA study for patients with invasive aspergillosis and will continue in 2022 to enable investigators impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic additional time to secure patients for this important trial. SCYNERGIA, which is evaluating oral ibrexafungerp in combination with voriconazole for the treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, has not enrolled as rapidly as initially projected. The prioritization of hospital resources toward addressing the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the ability of many institutions to focus on screening and enrolling patients into some clinical trials, including SCYNERGIA. We are planning to complete the study and analyze the available data by the end of 2022.
Corporate Update
In April 2022, we entered into an Equity Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters, relating to the offering, issuance and sale of (a) 3,333,333 shares of our common stock, (b) pre-funded warrants, in lieu of common stock, to purchase 11,666,667 shares of our common stock, and (c) warrants, which will accompany the common stock or pre-funded warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. We received $41.8 million in net proceeds from this offering in April 2022.
In May 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (Hercules), as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Agent) and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender (SVB), for an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million (the Term Loan). We received $20.0 million upon closing of the Loan Agreement and $10.0 million upon the FDA approval of BREXAFEMME for oral use in patients with VVC. In February 2022, the third tranche of our Loan Agreement became available to us upon the achievement of positive results from the Phase 3 CANDLE study of ibrexafungerp for the prevention of recurrent VVC, and we received $5.0 million in March 2022.
In February 2022, we entered into an agreement with a third party to sell a portion of our unused New Jersey NOLs and research and development credits for approximately $4.7 million.
Liquidity
We have operated as a public entity since we completed our initial public offering (IPO) of our common stock in May 2014. We also completed a follow-on public offering of our common stock in April 2015 and public offerings of our common stock and warrants in June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, December 2020, and April 2022. We had received an aggregate of $295.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and warrants in these seven offerings. Our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $118.7 million as of June 30, 2022, and availability to issue up to $46.2 million and $15.3 million of our common stock under our at-the-market facility (ATM) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (Cantor) and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (Ladenburg), and common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital (subject to certain limitations for the common stock purchase agreement as disclosed in Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), respectively. We have received $35.0 million under our Term Loan and could potentially be eligible to receive up to an additional $25.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for amounts sold under the ATM with Cantor and Ladenburg, and common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.
21
We have incurred annual net losses since our inception, including the year ended December 31, 2021, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit was $378.3 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for at least the next several years. We expect we will continue to incur significant research and development expense as we continue to execute our research and drug development strategy. Consistent with our operating plan, we also expect that we will continue to incur significant selling, general and administrative expenses to support our public reporting company operations, and that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the VVC indication and our ongoing operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our effective shelf registration statements, including under our ATM and the common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital.
Collaborations and Licensing Agreements
We are party to a number of licensing and collaboration agreements with partners in human health, including: (1) Merck, a pharmaceutical company, under which we exclusively licensed the rights to ibrexafungerp in the field of human health, and agreed to pay Merck milestones upon the occurrence of specified events as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide sales of ibrexafungerp when and if it is approved (in 2014, Merck assigned to us the patents related to ibrexafungerp that it had exclusively licensed to us and, as contemplated by the agreement, we will continue to pay milestones and royalties); (2) Hansoh, a pharmaceutical company, which we exclusively provide a license from us to research, develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in the Greater China region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, under which we are entitled to receive development and commercial milestones and royalties (3) R-Pharm, CJSC, or "R-Pharm," a leading supplier of hospital drugs in Russia, granting it exclusive rights in the field of human health to develop and commercialize ibrexafungerp in Russia and several non-core markets, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties and reimbursement for certain development costs incurred by us (this agreement is not material to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows); (4) Waterstone, an international pharmaceutical business, granting Waterstone exclusive worldwide rights to development and commercialization of SCY-635 for the treatment of viral diseases in humans, under which we are entitled to receive potential milestones and royalties; and (5) Cypralis Limited, or "Cypralis," a life sciences company, transferring to it certain cyclophilin inhibitor assets of ours, under which we are eligible to receive milestone payments upon the successful progression of certain Cypralis clinical candidates into later stage clinical studies and royalties payable upon product commercialization.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
Revenue primarily consists of a non-refundable upfront payment received under our license agreement with Hansoh and product sales of BREXAFEMME.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue consists primarily of distribution, freight expenses, royalties due to Merck, and other manufacturing costs associated with BREXAFEMME. Prior to the regulatory approval of BREXAFEMME on June 1, 2021, we expensed as research and development the costs associated with the third-party manufacture of BREXAFEMME.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover, develop, or improve potential product candidates we seek to develop. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing and other development efforts, and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consists of:
|
|
• |
costs related to executing preclinical and clinical trials, including development milestones, drug formulation, manufacturing and other development; |
|
|
• |
salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits and any stock-based compensation, for personnel in research and development functions; |
|
|
• |
fees paid to consultants and other third parties who support our product candidate development and intellectual property protection; |
22
|
|
• |
other costs in seeking regulatory approval of our products; and |
|
|
• |
allocated overhead. |
Ibrexafungerp was the only key research and development project during the periods presented. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expense for the foreseeable future as we continue our effort to develop ibrexafungerp, and to potentially develop our other product candidates, subject to the availability of additional funding.
The successful development of product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, including employee benefits and any stock-based compensation. This includes personnel in executive, finance, human resources, business development, medical affairs, marketing and commercial, and administrative support functions. Other expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal services, consulting costs for general and administrative purposes, information systems and marketing efforts.
Other Expense (Income)
All of our other income recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, consists of amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, interest income, interest expense, other income, the warrant liabilities fair value adjustment, the derivative liabilities fair value adjustment, and the loss recognized for the extinguishment of debt.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
All of our income tax (benefit) expense recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 consists of an income tax benefit associated with the sale of our NOLs and research and development credits and tax withholding expense associated with the upfront payment received from Hansoh.

Revenue. Revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022 consists solely of product sales of BREXAFEMME, for which we began commercialization in the second half of 2021.
Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022 consists primarily of distribution and freight costs associated with BREXAFEMME.
Research and Development. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased to $7.1 million compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $2.4 million, or 51%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by an increase of $1.1 million in clinical development expense, an increase of $0.5 million in chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) expense, an increase of $0.2 million in preclinical expense, an increase of $0.2 million in stock compensation expense, and a net increase of $0.4 million in other research and development expense.
The $1.1 million increase in clinical development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by an increase of $1.7 million in expense associated with the ongoing costs for the MARIO study which was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2021, offset in part by a $0.6 million decrease in expense associated with the CANDLE Phase 3 study which was substantially complete in the first quarter of 2022. The $0.5 million increase in CMC expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by $0.5 million in expense recognized during the period for third-party drug product manufacturing. The $0.2 million increase in preclinical expense was primarily associated with the expense recognized for certain pharmacokinetic modeling studies initiated in the current period. The $0.2 million increase in stock compensation expense is primarily driven by the increase in restricted stock unit grants made in the first quarter of 2022.
Selling, General & Administrative. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $15.8 million from $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $3.0 million, or 24%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a $3.0 million increase in commercial related expense, an increase of $0.5 million in salary related costs, an increase of $0.4 million in professional fees, all primarily due to the costs recognized to support the ongoing commercialization of BREXAFEMME, and a net increase in other selling, general, and administrative expenses of $0.5 million, offset in part by a decrease of $1.0 million in medical affairs expense and a decrease of $0.4 million in information technology expense.
Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount. The 2022 and 2021 debt issuance costs and discount for the March 2019 convertible notes primarily consisted of an allocated portion of advisory fees and other issuance costs. The 2022 and 2021 debt issuance costs and discount for the Loan Agreement comprised issuance and commitment costs, customary closing and final fees, and the fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Loan Agreement.
Interest Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.2 million and $6,000, respectively, in interest income primarily on our money market fund.
Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $1.2 million and $0.4 million in interest expense. The $0.8 million increase in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by the outstanding loan payable associated with the Loan Agreement entered into in May 2021.
Other Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $13,000 in other income primarily associated with realized gains on foreign currency transactions, for there was no corresponding amount in the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Warrant Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized gains of $9.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the warrant liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarters.
Derivative Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized gains of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the derivative liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the quarters.
Income Tax Benefit. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a $4.1 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits.

Research and Development. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased to $13.0 million compared to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $1.3 million, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by an increase of $1.3 million in clinical development expense, an increase of $0.4 million in preclinical expense, and a net increase of $0.2 million in other research and development expense, offset in part by a decrease of $0.6 million in CMC expense.
The $1.3 million increase in clinical development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by an increase of $3.0 million in expense associated with the startup and ongoing costs for the MARIO study which was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2021, offset in part by a $1.3 million decrease in expense associated with the CANDLE Phase 3 study which was substantially complete in the first quarter of 2022 and a $0.4 million decrease in certain Phase 1 studies to support the NDA for BREXAFEMME in the prior period. The $0.4 million increase in preclinical expense was primarily associated with the expense recognized for certain pharmacokinetic modeling studies initiated in the period. The $0.5 million decrease in CMC for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a $0.6 million decrease in expense for third-party drug product manufacturing in the current period.
Selling, General & Administrative. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $30.3 million from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $10.8 million, or 55%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a $8.9 million increase in commercial related expense, an increase of $1.4 million in salary related costs, an increase of $0.7 million in stock compensation expense, an increase of $0.6 million in professional fees, all primarily due to the costs recognized to support the ongoing commercialization of BREXAFEMME, offset in part by a decrease of $0.5 million in medical affairs expense and a $0.3 million decrease in information technology expense.
25
Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in amortization of debt issuance costs and discount. The 2022 and 2021 debt issuance costs and discount for the March 2019 convertible notes primarily consisted of an allocated portion of advisory fees and other issuance costs. The 2022 and 2021 debt issuance costs and discount for the Loan Agreement comprised issuance and commitment costs, customary closing and final fees, and the fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Loan Agreement.
Interest Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $0.2 million and $12,000, respectively, in interest income primarily on our money market fund.
Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $2.3 million and $0.7 million in interest expense. The $1.6 million increase in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by the outstanding loan payable associated with the Loan Agreement entered into in May 2021.
Other Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $13,000 in other income primarily associated with realized gains on foreign currency transactions.
Warrant Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized gains of $19.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the warrant liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the period.
Derivative Liabilities Fair Value Adjustment. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized gains of $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the fair value adjustment related to the derivative liabilities primarily due to the decrease in our stock price during the period.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a $4.7 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a $4.1 million income tax benefit associated with the sale of a portion of our NOLs and research and development credits and $1.1 million of tax withholding expense primarily associated with the upfront payment received from Hansoh.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Through June 30, 2022, we have primarily funded our operations from net proceeds from equity and debt issuances and through revenue from development services. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $118.7 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $104.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase in our cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the $41.8 million in net proceeds we raised from our public offering of our common stock and warrants in April 2022, offset in part due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp. We have incurred annual net losses since our inception, and we incurred a net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit was $378.3 million.
We expect that we will continue to incur losses for at least the foreseeable future. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect to incur significant research and development expenses and we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections and our ongoing operations. As a result, we may need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may obtain through one or more of equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements. We may offer shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registrations, including the related at-the-market facility entered into on May 17, 2021 with Cantor and Ladenburg and the common stock purchase agreement entered into on April 10, 2020 with Aspire Capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 137,610 and 375,000 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of $0.7 million and $1.5 million under our at-the-market facility and common stock purchase agreement, respectively.

Operating Activities
The $22.1 million increase in net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp. In the prior comparable period, we received a cash receipt of $10.0 million from Hansoh, as consideration for the licenses under our agreement with Hansoh in February 2021, that offset selling, general and administrative expenses to support the commercial launch of BREXAFEMME and the continued development costs associated with ibrexafungerp and ongoing operations. Consistent with our operating plan, we expect to incur significant research and development expenses and we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase to support the ongoing commercial launch of BREXAFEMME and our ongoing operations.
Net cash used in operating activities of $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily consisted of the $18.8 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $19.7 million, the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $0.8 million, partially offset by a net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.9 million. The net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities was due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities and other of $4.1 million offset by an increase in prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, inventory, and other of $2.2 million. The $4.1 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, and other was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $2.3 million and an increase of $2.2 million in other liabilities associated with the deferred fees due to Amplity. The increase in prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, inventory, and other of $2.2 million was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable of $1.4 million and a $0.5 million increase in prepaid research and development services and insurance.
Net cash used in operating activities of $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily consisted of the $3.0 million net loss adjusted for non-cash charges that included the gain on change in fair value of the warrant liabilities of $16.6 million, the gain on change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $0.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $0.5 million, and the loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million, plus a net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $3.1 million. The net favorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other of $1.2 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other of $1.9 million. The $1.2 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $1.3 million and an increase of $0.8 million in other liabilities associated with the long term deferred fees due to Amplity, offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in accrued expenses primarily due to the payment of the 2020 related employee bonus compensation in 2021. The decrease in prepaid expense, deferred cost, and other of $1.9 million was primarily due to the collection of a $2.9 million receivable in February 2021, primarily offset by an increase of $0.4 million in prepaid insurance.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $9,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, consisted solely of purchases of intangible assets.
Net cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisted solely of purchases of intangible assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $48.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, consisted primarily of the gross proceeds of $45.0 million from the April 2022 Public Offering and the $2.2 million in gross proceeds from common
27
stock issued under our at-the-market and common stock purchase agreements, respectively, and the $5.0 million received from the Loan Agreement, offset by payments of offering costs and underwriting discounts and commissions of $3.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $32.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, consisted primarily of the net proceeds of $28.7 million received from the Loan Agreement and $3.4 million in proceeds from common stock issued.
Future Funding Requirements
We have begun to generate revenue from product sales for BREXAFEMME. However, we expect to incur significant expenses in connection with our ongoing efforts to commercialize BREXAFEMME and further other development activities, particularly as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, product candidates. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing future operations.
Based upon our operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and the anticipated sales of BREXAFEMME will enable us to fund our operating requirements into the first quarter of 2024. However, we are continually evaluating our operating plan and assessing the optimal cash utilization for our ibrexafungerp development strategy. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses necessary to complete the development of product candidates.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
|
|
• |
the costs and potential revenue associated with the commercialization of BREXAFEMME; |
|
|
• |
the progress, and costs, of the clinical development of ibrexafungerp; |
|
|
• |
the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals; |
|
|
• |
the ability of product candidates to progress through clinical development successfully; |
|
|
• |
our need to expand our research and development activities; |
|
|
• |
the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization and manufacturing capabilities; |
|
|
• |
our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights; |
|
|
• |
our need and ability to hire additional management and scientific and medical personnel; |
|
|
• |
our need to implement additional, as well as to enhance existing, internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting processes and systems and the associated compliance costs; and |
|
|
• |
the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future. |
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of net proceeds from equity offerings, debt financings or other non-dilutive third-party funding (e.g., grants, and New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) Program), strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities as we did in April 2015, June 2016, March 2018, December 2019, December 2020, and April 2022 as well as through our common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through sales of assets, other third-party funding, strategic alliances and licensing or collaboration arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
Significant Estimates and Judgements
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
28
date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical estimates and judgements are described within Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures. |
Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2022, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1
SCYNEXIS Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
Revised June 2022
Our non-employee directors are compensated in accordance with the following policy:
Each non-employee director receives an annual base cash retainer of $40,000 for such service, to be paid quarterly. In addition, the chairman of the Board receives an additional annual base cash retainer of $35,000, to be paid quarterly.
In addition, each member of a committee receives compensation for service on a committee as follows:
|
|
a. |
The chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $18,000 for this service, paid quarterly, and each of the other members of the Audit Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $9,000, paid quarterly. |
|
|
b. |
The chairperson of the Compensation Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $15,000 for this service, paid quarterly, and each of the other members of the Compensation Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $7,500, paid quarterly. |
|
|
c. |
The chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for this service, paid quarterly, and each of the other members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $5,000, paid quarterly. |
The Board has established our non-employee director compensation policy with respect to equity grants to provide that each year on the first business day following the company’s annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director will automatically be granted 10,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) and an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the company’s common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. These annual grants will vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, provided that the non-employee director is providing continuous services on the applicable vesting date. If a new board member joins the Board, the director will be granted an initial 20,000 RSUs and an initial option to purchase 20,000 shares of the company’s common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. These initial grants will vest over three years following the date of grant. One-third of the RSUs will vest each year on the anniversary of the date of grant. One-third of the options will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the remaining two-year period.
In addition, each non-employee director may elect to receive nonstatutory stock options in lieu of all or a portion of the cash compensation to which the non-employee director would otherwise be entitled to, as described above. Each non-employee director shall make their election prior to the period in which the compensation is to be earned. For each non-employee director electing to receive a nonstatutory stock option in lieu of such cash compensation, the date on which the nonstatutory stock options will be granted will be the date on which the cash compensation would otherwise have been earned, which is generally the first business day of each fiscal quarterly period, and the number of shares underlying such stock option will be determined by (i) dividing the cash compensation that the non-employee director elects to forgo in exchange for such nonstatutory stock options by 0.65, and (ii) dividing the result by the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Each nonstatutory stock option granted in lieu of cash compensation pursuant to a non-employee director’s election will be 100% vested on the date of grant. After a non-employee director has elected to receive nonstatutory stock options in lieu of cash compensation, the option grants made to that non-employee director are awarded automatically pursuant to the previously described policy and no further action is required by the company’s Board.
