ote 1 - TheThe Company
AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (“
AzurRx” or “Parent”) was incorporated on January 30, 2014 in the State of Delaware. In June 2014,The Company is engaged in the research and development of targeted, non-systemic biologicstherapies for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders.(“GI”) diseases. Non-systemic biologicstherapies are non-absorbable drugs that act locally, i.e., in the intestinal lumen, skin or mucosa, without reaching an individual’s systemic circulation.
Our lead drug candidate is MS1819,
aIn 2021, we are launching two new clinical programs using proprietary formulations of niclosamide, a small molecule with anthelminthic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. The first FW-1022, is for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (“COVID-19”) gastrointestinal infections. In April 2021, we launched the Phase 2 RESERVOIR COVID-19 GI clinical trial using a proprietary oral immediate-release tablet formulation of micronized niclosamide. The second, FW-420, is for Grade 1 and Grade 2 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Colitis (“ICI-AC”) and diarrhea in advanced stage oncology patients. We are preparing to initiate our Phase 1b/2a PASSPORT ICI-AC trial using both an oral immediate-release tablet and a topical rectal enema foam formulations of niclosamide in the second half of 2021.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to research and development, business development, and raising capital, and has primarily financed its operations through issuance of common stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, and other debt/equity instruments. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development and regulatory success, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and ability to secure additional capital to fund clinical trials and operations.
Historically, the Company’s major sources of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various public and private offerings of its capital stock. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $112.3 million as of June 30, 2021.
The Company has implemented business continuity plans designed to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, our clinical development and regulatory efforts, our corporate development objectives and the value of and market for our Common Stock, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, such as the ultimate duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing and business closure requirements in the U.S. and, Europe and other countries, and the Combination therapy trialeffectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat the disease. The global economic slowdown, the overall disruption of global healthcare systems and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
In addition, the Company is subject to other challenges and risks specific to its business and its ability to execute on its strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in Europe, consistingthe biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of MS1819its drug candidates; delays or problems in conjunctionthe manufacture and supply of its drug candidates, loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with porcine-derived pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy,manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or drug candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the current standardinherent uncertainty of care.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019,2020, has been derived from audited financial statements of that date. The unaudited interim consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inceptioninception. On June 30, 2021, we had cash and hadcash equivalents of approximately $8.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $78.0 million at September 30, 2020.$112.3 million. The Company is dependent on obtaining and continues to pursue, additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities and debt in order to continue to execute its development planplans and continue operations.
Without adequate working capital, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about ourthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include certain estimates and assumptions whichthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements (including goodwill, intangible assets, and contingent consideration), and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expensesexpense during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash balances were highly liquid at Septemberon June 30, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At SeptemberOn June 30, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had approximately $11.1$3.8 million and $0,$2.7 million, respectively, in one account in the U.S. in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions.
The Company also has exposure to foreign currency risk as its subsidiary in France has a functional currency in Euros.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Debt Instruments
Detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt are measured at their relative fair value, if they are determined to be equity instrument, or their fair value, if they are determined to be liability instruments, and recorded as a debt discount. Conversion features that are in the money at the commitment date constitute a beneficial conversion feature that is measured at its intrinsic value and recognized as debt discount. Debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the maturity period of the debt using the effective interest method. Contingent beneficial conversion features are recognized when the contingency has been resolved.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the maturity period of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method.
Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees
Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at fair value on the grant date per ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s foreign subsidiaries withsubsidiary has operations denominated in a foreign currency, and assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may be present. Any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges through SeptemberJune 30, 2020.
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of in process research and development, license agreements, and patents reported at the fair value at date of the acquisition less accumulated amortization. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Patents 7.2 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). Potential impairment is assessed when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Recoverability of these assets is assessed based on undiscounted expected future cash flows from the assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets and economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If impairments are identified, assets are written down to their estimated fair value. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges through SeptemberJune 30, 2020.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company determines its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. At SeptemberOn June 30, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions. All tax years are still open for audit.
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases.” This ASU requires substantially alldetermines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases be recorded on the balance sheet as right of useare included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, and lease obligations.liability obligations are included in the Company’s balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability obligations represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company adopteduses the ASU usingimplicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and lease direct costs. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a modified retrospective adoption method at January 1, 2019,straight-line basis over the lease term. Please refer to Note 15 for additional information.

License Agreements
As more fully discussed in Note 14, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “First Wave License Agreement”) with First Wave Bio, Inc. (“First Wave”), pursuant to which First Wave granted the Company an exclusive license to certain patents and patent applications related to a proprietary formulation of niclosamide for use in the fields of ICI-AC and COVID-19 GI infections. The acquisition of intellectual property and patents for the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and commercialize proprietary formulations of niclosamide for the fields of treating ICI-AC and COVID-19 in humans was accounted for as outlinedan asset acquisition and initial liabilities of approximately $13.3 million in ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases - Targeted Improvements.connection with the license acquisition were recorded as research and development expense, because it was determined to have no alternative future uses and therefore no separate economic value, which included cash payments totaling approximately $10.3 million and the issuance of approximately $3.0 million worth of preferred stock.
As more fully discussed in Note 14, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with TransChem, Inc. (“TransChem” Under), pursuant to which TransChem granted the Company an exclusive license to certain patents and patent applications. Payments made to TransChem in connection with this method of adoption, there is no impact to the comparative condensed consolidated statements of operationssublicense agreement were recorded as research and condensed consolidated balance sheets.development expense. The Company determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings onterminated the consolidated balance sheet. In addition,sublicense agreement with TransChem during the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed carryforward of historical lease classifications. Adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s results of operations and had no impact on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expense. R&Dexpense, except for goodwill related to patents. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, payments to third parties for preclinical and non-clinical activities, expenses with clinical research organizations (CROs), investigative sites, consultants and contractors that conduct or provide other services relating to clinical trials, costs to acquire drug product, drug supply and clinical trial materials from contract development and clinical activities,manufacturing organization (CDMOs) and third-party contractors relating to chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) efforts, the fees paid for and to maintain the Company’s licenses, and the payments to third parties for manufacturing drug supply and clinical trials, laboratory and other supply expenses and amortization of intangible assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and stockholders have adopted and approved the Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) which took effect on May 12, 2014, and the 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, which took effect on September 11, 2020 (the “2020 Plan”). From the effective date of the 2020 Plan, no new awards have been or will be made under the 2014 Plan. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards to employees and Board members in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees and Board members, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing this fair value as stock-based compensation using a straight-line method over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period.
For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award occurs when vesting becomes probable.
The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock.
Subsequent Events
The Company considered events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date but prior to the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2020-06) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity'sentity’s own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity'sentity’s own equity. As a smaller reporting company, as defined by the SEC,U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), this pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the financial statements.
Note 3 -Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value.
The fair value of the Company'sCompany’s financial instruments are as follows:

On February 24, 2021, the Company received the 2021 Stockholder Approval, and all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock.
Accounting for the Series B Private Placement
Upon receiving Shareholderthe 2021 Stockholder Approval on September 11, 2020,February 24, 2021, the Company classified the Series BC Preferred Stock as permanent equity because no features provide for redemption by the holders of the Series BC Preferred Stock or conditional redemption, which is not solely within the Company’s control, and there are no unconditional obligations in that (1) the Company must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares and (2) the monetary value is predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the Company’s equity shares or varying inversely in relation to the Company’s equity shares.
Because the Series BC Preferred Stock containcontains certain embedded features that could affect the ultimate settlement of the Series BC Preferred Stock, the Company analyzed the instrument for embedded derivatives that require bifurcation. The Company’s analysis began with determining whether the Series BC Preferred Stock is more akin to equity or debt. The Company evaluated the following criteria/features in this determination: redemption, voting rights, collateral requirements, covenant provisions, creditor and liquidation rights, dividends, conversion rights and exchangeconversion rights. The Company determined that the Series BC Preferred Stock was more akin to equity than to debt when evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of the entire Series BC Preferred Stock, including the embedded features. The Company then evaluated the embedded features to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks were clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the Series BC Preferred Stock. Since the Series BC Preferred Stock was determined to be more akin to equity than debt, and the underlying that causes the value of the embedded features to fluctuate would be the value of the Company’s common stock, the embedded features were considered clearly and closely related to the Series BC Preferred Stock. As a result, the embedded features would not need to be bifurcated from the Series BC Preferred Stock.

On March 7, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March 2021 Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, in a registered direct offering (the “March 2021 Offering”) priced at the market under Nasdaq rules, (i) 5,800,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “March 2021Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,058,548 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and no expiration term and (iii) warrants (the “March 2021Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 3,929,274 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.21 per share and an expiration term of five years from the date of issuance. The price per share of March 2021 Offering was $1.2725.
On March 10, 2021, the March 2021 Offering closed and the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million, excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the March 2021 Warrants. The net proceeds to the Company from the March 2021 Offering were approximately $9.1 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses.
The Company paid the placement agent a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company, or approximately $800,000. The Company also agreed to issue the placement agent or its designees warrants (the “March 2021 Placement Agent Warrants”) exercisable for up to 550,099 shares of Common Stock, which is equal to 7.0% of the amount determined by dividing the gross proceeds of the March 2021 Offering by the offering price per share of Common Stock, or $1.2725. The March 2021 Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the March 2021 Warrants, except they are exercisable at $1.5906 per share, or 125% of the effective purchase price per share of Common Stock issued. The Company also reimbursed the placement agent $35,000 for non-accountable expenses, $50,000 for legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses and approximately $16,000 for clearing fees.
The March 2021 Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231954) originally filed with the SEC on June 21, 2019, and declared effective on June 25, 2019. The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC in connection with the sale of such securities in the March 2021 Offering.
The Company concluded the freestanding March 2021 Warrants and the March 2021 Placement Agent Warrants did not contain any provisions that would require liability classification and therefore should be classified in stockholder’s equity.

Note 13 - Stock Options
Under the 2014 Plan and the 2020 Plan, the fair value of options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the common stock price and the assumed risk-free interest rate. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest and the compensation cost from vested options, whether forfeited or not, is not reversed.

The fair values were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
June 30, | ||||
2021 | ||||
Contractual term (in years) | 10 | |||
Volatility | 83.8 - 90.6 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.93 - 1.69 | % | ||
Dividend yield | - | % |
The expected term of the options is based on expected future employee exercise behavior. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock if available or of several public entities that are similar to the Company. The Company bases volatility this way because it may not have sufficient historical transactions in its own shares on which to solely base expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The Company has not historically declared any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

Note 14 - Agreements
License Agreement with First Wave Bio, Inc.
On December 31, 2020, we entered into the First Wave License Agreement, pursuant to which First Wave granted us a worldwide, exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and commercialize First Wave’s proprietary immediate release and enema formulations of niclosamide (the “Niclosamide Product”) for the fields of treating ICI-AC and COVID-19 in humans.
In consideration of the license and other rights granted by First Wave, we agreed to pay First Wave a $9.0 million upfront cash payment due within 10 days, which was paid in January 2021 and are obligated to make an additional payment of $1.25 million due on June 30, 2021. In addition, we are obligated to pay potential milestone payments to First Wave totaling up to $37.0 million for each indication, based upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones. As of June 30, 2021, the Company achieved a milestone related to clinical development of niclosamide in the COVID-19 field and has expensed $1.0 million in research and development and accrued $1.0 million in accounts payable. Under the First Wave License Agreement we are obligated to pay First Wave royalties as a mid-single digit percentage of net sales of the Niclosamide Product, subject to specified reductions. We were also obligated to issue to First Wave junior convertible preferred stock, initially convertible into $3.0 million worth of Common Stock based upon the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five-day period immediately preceding the date of the First Wave License Agreement, or $0.9118 per share, convertible into an aggregate of 3,290,196 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, this was initially classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet because of certain NASDAQ restrictions and the requirement to obtain stockholder approval.

On January 8, 2021, in connection with the securities purchase agreement with First Wave (the “First Wave Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we issued to First Wave 3,290.1960 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which were convertible into an aggregate of 3,290,196 shares of Common Stock based on a conversion price of $0.75 per share, and with a grant date fair value of approximately $2.5 million. The First Wave Purchase Agreement contains demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.
The conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock was determined to be beneficial and, as a result, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $230,000 equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature and recognized on the issuance date and recorded as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in computing basic and diluted loss per share.
Upon the 2021 Stockholder Approval on February 24, 2021, the Company recognized a change in fair value of approximately $0.5 million based on the difference in fair value of the $3.0 million liability initially recorded pursuant to the First Wave License Agreement as of December 31, 2020 and the fair value of approximately $2.5 million of Series C Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the First Wave Purchase Agreement to settle the liability.
Following the 2021 Stockholder Approval, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock were automatically converted into Common Stock.
The Company is solely responsible, and has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts, for all development, regulatory and commercial activities related to the Niclosamide Products in the ICI-AC and COVID-19 fields. The Company may sublicense its rights under the First Wave License Agreement and, if it does so, will be obligated to pay milestone payments and royalties to First Wave based on the sublicensee’s development and commercialization of the licensed Niclosamide Products.
Pursuant to the First Wave License Agreement, First Wave retains rights to develop and commercialize the licensed niclosamide formulations outside the ICI-AC and COVID-19 fields, and to develop and commercialize other niclosamide formulations that are not licensed to Company. Pursuant to the First Wave License Agreement, the Company grants First Wave a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license for use outside the ICI-AC and COVID-19 fields, with the right to grant sublicenses, under any Program IP and other intellectual property owned by the Company and incorporated into the Niclosamide Product.
The First Wave License Agreement terminates on a country-by-country basis and product-by-product basis upon the expiration of the royalty term for such product in such country. Each royalty term begins on the date of the first commercial sale of the licensed product in the applicable country and ends on date of expiration of the last to expire royalty term with respect to the country. The First Wave License Agreement may be terminated earlier in specified situations, including termination for uncured material breach of the First Wave License Agreement by either party, termination by the Company in specified circumstances, termination by First Wave in specified circumstances, termination by the Company for convenience with advance notice, and termination upon a party’s insolvency or bankruptcy. After expiration of the royalty term, the Company shall have a non-exclusive, fully-paid, perpetual, royalty-free right and irrevocable license with respect to any Product in any country within the territory.
The First Wave License Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by both parties, as well as customary provisions relating to indemnification, confidentiality, and other matters.

To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments have taken various actions including the issuance of stay-at-home orders and physical distancing guidelines. Accordingly, businesses have adjusted, reduced or suspended operating activities. Beginning in March 2020, the majority of our workforce began working from home. Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effects of the Company’s final resultsstay-at-home orders and work-from-home policies, have impacted productivity, including delayed enrollment of the OPTION Cross-Over Study and had found no safety concerns for MS1819, and that the CFF DSMB supported the Company’s plan to proceed to a higher 4.4 gram dosenew patients at certain of MS1819 with enteric capsules in the multi-center dose escalation Phase 2b OPTION clinical trial (the “OPTION 2 Trial”).

Without adequate funding, we may not be able to meet our obligations. TheseWe believe these conditions may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
