LIMINAL BIOSCIENCES INC. CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the quarter and the nine months ended on September 30, 2019 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except for per share amounts) (Unaudited)
| ![]() |
1. Nature of operations
Liminal BioSciences Inc. (“Liminal” or the “Company”), formerly Prometic Life Sciences Inc., is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is a publicly traded clinical stage biotechonology company (TSX symbol: LMNL, formerly PLI; OTCQX symbol: PFSCF) focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines against novel biologic targets for diseases in patients with serious unmet needs. The Company’s primary research focus in the Small molecule therapeutics segment, has been based on its understanding of several orphan G protein-coupled receptors (GPR’s) known as free fatty acid receptors (FFAR’s). FFAR’s are being evaluated as novel therapeutic targets for a variety of inflammatory, fibrotic and metabolic diseases in an emerging field known as immuno-metabolism. The Company is specifically focused on liver, respiratory and renal therapeutic areas, primarily in rare or orphan diseases. The Plasma-derived therapeutics segment leverages Liminal’s experience in bioseparation technologies used to isolate and purify biopharmaceuticals from human plasma. The Company’s primary goal with respect to this second platform is to address unmet medical needs with therapeutic proteins not currently commercially available, such as Ryplazim™ (plasminogen) (“Ryplazim™”). The Bioseparations segment provides access to its proprietary bioseparation technologies to enable pharmaceutical companies in their production of non-competing biopharmaceuticals.
On July 5, 2019, the Company performed a one thousand-to-one share consolidation of the Company’s common shares, stock options, restricted share units and warrants. The quantities and per unit prices presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the share consolidation.
On October 7, 2019, Prometic Life Sciences Inc. changed its name to Liminal BioSciences Inc. and the Company’s TSX stock symbol became LMNL.
The Company’s head office is located at 440, Boul. Armand-Frappier, suite 300, Laval, Québec, Canada, H7V 4B4. Liminal has Research and Development (“R&D”) facilities in the Canada, U.K. and the U.S., manufacturing facilities in Canada and the Isle of Man and business development activities in Canada, the U.S, Europe and Asia.
Structured Alpha LP (“SALP”) has been Liminal’s parent company since the April 23, 2019 debt restructuring (note 13). Thomvest Asset Management Ltd. is the general partner of SALP and the ultimate controlling parent of Liminal is The 2003 TIL Settlement. Prior to this date, Liminal did not have a controlling parent.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB”) on a going concern basis, which presumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
The financial condition of the Company has improved significantly since April 2019 following the completion of several transactions including the debt restructuring that took place on April 23, 2019 thereby reducing the long-term debt down to $10.0 million (note 13) and the receipt of gross proceed from equity issuances, both through private placements and the rights offering of $114.4 million (note 16). These transactions contributed to the Company having a positive working capital position, i.e. the current assets net of current liabilities, of $55.9 million at September 30, 2019. The working capital position is expected to increase subsequent to September 30, 2019, following the expected closing of the sale of the bioseparations operations (note 23). Finally, on November 11, 2019, the Company has entered into a loan agreement with SALP which makes available a line of credit of up to $75.0 million (note 23) which could be used if needed.

Despite the improved liquidity situation, Liminal is an R&D stage enterprise and until the Company can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance its cash requirements, management expects, as required, to finance future cash needs primarily through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, strategic collaborations, business and asset divestitures, and grant funding.
2. Significant accounting policies
a) Accounting framework
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed. These interim financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and which can be found at www.sedar.com.
These interim financial statements were approved for issue on November 11, 2019 by the Company’s Audit, Risk and Finance committee as delegated by the Board of Directors.
b) Adoption of new accounting standards
The accounting policies used in these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Company in its December 31, 2018 audited annual consolidated financial statements except for the amendments to certain accounting standards which are relevant to the Company and were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2019 as described below.
IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)
IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”). IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring the recognition of assets and liabilities for all leases, unless the lease term is less than 12 months, or the underlying asset has a low value. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting in IAS 17 with the distinction between operating leases and finance leases being retained.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and accordingly the information presented for 2018 has not been restated. The cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized at the date of initial application. The current and long-term portions of operating and finance lease inducements and obligations presented in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2018, reflect the accounting treatment under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

The Company elected to use the transitional practical expedient allowing the standard to be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease at the date of initial application. The Company applied the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.
The Company also elected to record right-of-use assets for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 based on the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for prepaids or liabilities existing at the date of the transition that relate to the lease. When measuring lease liabilities, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average discount rate applied to the total lease liabilities recognized on transition was 18.54%. For leases that were previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of adoption was established as the carrying amount of the lease asset classified in capital assets and the finance lease obligation at December 31, 2018. These assets and liabilities are grouped under right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 and IFRS 16 applies to these leases as of that date.
In addition, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application as short-term leases for which it is not required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company also elected to not apply IFRS 16 when the underlying asset in a lease is of low value.
The Company has elected, for the class of assets related to the lease of building space, not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.
The table below shows which line items of the consolidated financial statements were affected by the adoption of IFRS 16 and the impact. There was no net impact on the deficit.

Prior to adopting IFRS 16, the total minimum operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 were $74,977. The decrease between the total of the minimum lease payments set out in Note 29 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the total lease liabilities recognized on adoption of $42,701 was principally due to the effect of discounting on the minimum lease payments. The amount also decreased slightly due to the fact that certain costs that are contractually committed under lease contracts, but which do not qualify to be accounted for as a lease liability, such as variable lease payments not tied to an index or rate, were previously included in the lease commitment table whereas they are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities. These impacts were partially offset by the inclusion of

lease payments beyond minimum commitments relating to reasonably certain renewal periods that had not yet been exercised as at December 31, 2018 which effect is to increase the liability. Right-of-use assets at transition have been measured at an amount equal to the corresponding lease liabilities, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued rent relating to that lease.
The consolidated statement of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was impacted by the adoption of IFRS 16 as the recording of depreciation of the right-of-use assets continues to be recorded in the same financial statement line items as it was previously while the implicit financing component of leasing agreements is now recorded under finance costs. The impact is not simply in the form of a reclassification but also in terms of measurement, which are very much affected by the discount rates used and whether the Company has included renewal periods when calculating the lease liability.
The consolidated cash flow statement for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was also impacted since the cash flows attributable to the lease component of the lease agreements are now shown as payments of principal and interest on lease liabilities which are now part of cash flows from financing activities.
IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over income tax treatments (“IFRIC 23”)
IFRIC 23 clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 – Income Taxes are applied where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 and was adopted by the Company on that date. The Company assessed the impact of this Interpretation and concluded that it had no impact on the amounts recorded in its consolidated statements of financial position on the date of adoption.
c) Accounting policies not disclosed in the December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements
Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company has established the following accounting policies pertaining to leases that are applicable as of January 1, 2019.
Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset at the commencement date of a lease which is when the date at which the underlying asset is available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

LIMINAL BIOSCIENCES INC. CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the quarter and the nine months ended on September 30, 2019 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except for per share amounts) (Unaudited) | ![]() |
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of a lease liability is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of a lease liability is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment whether the underlying asset will be purchased.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases of 12 months or less. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption for lease that are considered of low value i.e. below seven thousand dollars. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits in banks and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less when issued.
d) Significant judgments and critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires the use of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. The uncertainty that is often inherent in estimates and assumptions could result in material adjustments to assets or liabilities affected in future periods. As a result of the application of IFRS 16 and IFRIC 23, the Company has modified its disclosure on significant judgments and estimates. The other significant accounting judgments and critical accounting estimates applied by the Corporation, disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, remain unchanged.
Leases
Leases—The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that this option will not be exercised.
The Company has the option, under some of its leases to lease the assets for additional terms of up to fifteen years. Judgement is applied in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal are considered. After the commencement date, the lease term is reassessed if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew.
The renewal period is included as part of the lease term for a manufacturing plant lease which it estimated it is reasonably certain to exercise due to the importance of this asset to its operations, the limited availability on the market of a similar asset with similar rental terms and the related cost of moving the production equipment to another facility.
Uncertainty over income tax treatments
R&D tax credits for the current period and prior periods are measured at the amount the Company expects to recover, based on its best estimate and judgment, of the amounts it expects to receive from the tax authorities as at the reporting date, either in the form of income tax refunds or refundable grants. However, there are

LIMINAL BIOSCIENCES INC. CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the quarter and the nine months ended on September 30, 2019 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except for per share amounts) (Unaudited) | ![]() |
uncertainties as to the interpretation of the tax legislation and regulations, in particular regarding what constitutes eligible R&D activities and expenditures, as well in regards to the amount and timing of recovery of these tax credits. In order to determine whether the expenses it incurs are eligible for R&D tax credits, the Company must use judgment and may resort to complex techniques, which makes the recovery of tax credits uncertain. As a result, there may be a significant difference between the estimated timing and amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements in respect of tax credits receivable and the actual amount of tax credits received as a result of the tax administrations’ review of matters that were subject to interpretation. The amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are based on the best estimates of the Company and in its best possible judgment, as noted above.

9. Investment in an associate
In February 2019, the Company decided that it was no longer part of its strategy to pursue the development of Inter-alpha Inhibitor proteins and has undertaken discussions with ProThera Biologics, Inc. (“ProThera”) to terminate the various corporate and commercial agreements it has in place with ProThera. The Company determined that, from that point on, it no longer had significant influence over ProThera and therefore changed its accounting for its investment in ProThera’s common shares as an investment in an associate to that of a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value of such financial asset was evaluated at $nil both in February 2019 and at the current financial position date. Consequently, any future transactions between the Company and ProThera will no longer be disclosed as a related party transaction.

12. Warrant liability
As consideration for the modification of the terms of the loan agreements on November 14, 2018, the Company had a commitment to issue warrants (“Warrants #9”) to the holder of the long-term debt on or before March 20, 2019. The exact number of warrants to be issued was based on the number of warrants necessary to increase the ownership of the holder of the long-term debt to 19.99% on a fully diluted basis at the date of issuance.
On February 22, 2019, the Company further amended the fourth loan agreement with the addition of two tranches, one of US$10 million and another one of US$5 million, that were drawn on February 22, 2019 and March 22, 2019 respectively. As consideration for the modification to the fourth loan agreement, the Company amended the terms applicable at the time of issuance of Warrants #9 to reduce the originally agreed exercise price from $1,000.00 to $156.36 per preferred share and to issue the Warrants #9 concurrently with the modification. Accordingly, the Company issued 19,402 warrants on February 22, 2019. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one preferred share (note 16c) at a price of $156.36 per preferred share and will expire on February 22, 2027. The Warrants #9 did not meet the definition of an equity instrument since the underlying preferred shares qualify as a liability instrument, and therefore they were accounted for as a financial instrument carried at fair value through profit or loss.

LIMINAL BIOSCIENCES INC. CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the quarter and the nine months ended on September 30, 2019 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except for per share amounts) (Unaudited) | ![]() |
The change in fair value of the warrant liability between December 31, 2018, when it was valued at $157 and prior to its modification on February 22, 2019, in the amount of $218 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded the increase in fair value of the warrants of $1,137 resulting from the reduction of the exercise price of Warrants #9 on February 22, 2019 against the two additional tranches of the credit facility, treating the increase as financing fees. The changes in fair value of the warrant liability between February 22, 2019, after the modification, and March 31, 2019 was an increase of $11 and a decrease in fair value of $1,369 (a gain) between March 31, 2019 to April 23, 2019. Both variations were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of these warrants at April 23, 2019 was $153.
As part of the debt restructuring agreement on April 23, 2019 (note 13), all the outstanding warrants belonging to the holder of the debt, including the Warrants #9, were cancelled and replaced by new warrants (note 16c). The cancellation and the issuance of new warrants was treated as a modification. Following this modification, the Warrants #9 no longer meet the definition of a liability instrument and the Company reclassified the fair value of the Warrants #9 as of April 23, 2019 of $153 from warrant liability to warrants classified as equity.
The fair value of Warrants #9 on the various dates was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions provided in the table below. In order to estimate the fair value of the underlying preferred share, the Company used the market price of Liminal’s common shares at the measurement date, discounted for the fact that the preferred shares are illiquid. The value of the discount was calculated using a European put option model to sell a common share of Liminal at the price of $1,000.00 or $156.36 per share in 20 years.

The transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the carrying value of the long-term debt at September 30, 2019 were as follows:
2019 | ||||
Balance at January 1 | $ | 125,804 | ||
Stated and accreted interest | 7,561 | |||
Drawdown on Credit Facility | 18,677 | |||
Repayment of principal through share issuance | (141,536 | ) | ||

|
| |||
Balance at September 30 | $ | 9,021 | ||
|
|
At September 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the debt comprised the following loans:
September 30, 2019 | ||||
Loan with the parent having a principal of $10,000 maturing on April 23, 2024 with an effective interest rate of 15,05% 1) | $ | 8,613 | ||
Non-interest bearing government term loan having a principal amount of $329 repayable in equal monthly installments of $82 until January 31, 2020 with an effective interest rate of 8.8% | 408 | |||
|
| |||
$ | 9,021 | |||
Less current portion of long-term debt | (408 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Long-term portion of long-term debt | $ | 8,613 | ||
|
|
1) | The Loan with the parent is secured by all the assets of the Company and requires that certain covenants be respected including maintaining an adjusted working capital ratio. |
On February 22, 2019, the Company amended the fourth loan agreement (“Credit Facility”) with the addition of two tranches of US$10 million and US$5 million which the Company drew on February 22 and March 22, 2019, respectively. Those two tranches bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5% payable quarterly. Concurrently with the amendment, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of Warrants #9 from $1,000.00 to $156.36 per preferred share and to immediately issue those warrants (note 12). The incremental fair value of the warrant liability of $1,137 due to this change was recognized as deferred financing fees related to the additional two tranches received. The Company recorded the credit facility draws on February 22, 2019 and March 22, 2019 at its fair value at the transaction date less the associated transaction costs and financing fees of $45 and $1,137 respectively, for a net amount of $18,677.
On April 23, 2019, the Company entered into a debt restructuring agreement with the long-term debt holder whereby the entirety of the principal on the Credit Facility plus a portion of the interest due, the entirety of the First and Second Original Issue Discount (“OID”) loans and the majority of the Third OID loan would be repaid by Liminal by the issuance of common shares, at a conversion price, rounded to the nearest two decimals, of $15.21 per common share. Consequently, the US$95 million of principal plus interest due on the Credit Facility was reduced to $663 and the aggregate face value of the three OID loans was reduced by $99,552 to $10,000 with the remaining balance of the Third OID loan modified into an interest-bearing loan at a stated interest 10% payable quarterly. This resulted in the reduction of the long-term debt recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position by $141,536. The Company issued 15,050,312 common shares on that date which were recorded in share capital at a value of $228,915. The difference between the carrying amount of the debt converted into common shares and the increase in the value of the share capital is recognized as a loss on extinguishment of a loan of $87,379. The balance of interest due on the credit facility of $663 was paid in cash.

Since November 14, 2018, all transactions with SALP are considered related party transactions however following the issuance of the common shares to SALP as a result of the debt restructuring, SALP obtained control over the Company and since then, is Liminal’s controlling parent.
Pursuant to the debt restructuring, the Company cancelled the warrants previously held by SALP and replaced them with new warrants having an exercise price rounded to the nearest two decimals of $15.21 per common share, expiring on April 23, 2027 (note 16c). The incremental fair value of the replacement warrants was recognized in warrants equity and as part of the loss on the debt extinguishment together with the legal fees incurred to finalize all the related legal agreements.
The modification in terms of the remaining balance of the Third OID loan of $10,000 was accounted for as an extinguishment of the long-term debt and the re-issuance of a new interest-bearing loan (“Loan with the parent”). The difference between the carrying amount of the loan extinguished of $4,667 and the fair value of the new Loan with the parent of $8,521 recognized was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment of $3,854. The fair value of the modified loan was determined using a discounted cash flow model with a market interest rate of 15.1%.
As a result of this transaction and the extinguishments of debt that occurred earlier in the year following payments made to suppliers by the issuance of equity (note 16a), the consolidated statement of operations for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, includes a loss on extinguishment of liabilities of $92,374 detailed as follows:
Loss on extinguishment of liabilities due to April 23, 2019 loan modification Comprising the following elements: | ||||
Debt to equity conversion | $ | 87,379 | ||
Expensing of financing fees on loan extinguishment | 653 | |||
Extinguishment of previous loan | (4,667 | ) | ||
Recognition of modified loan | 8,521 | |||
Expensing of increase in the fair value of the warrants (note 16c) | 408 | |||
|
| |||
Loss on extinguishment of liabilities due to April 23, 2019 loan modification | $ | 92,294 | ||
Loss on extinguishment of liabilities to suppliers (note 16a) | 80 | |||
|
| |||
Loss on extinguishments of liabilities | $ | 92,374 | ||
|
|
As at September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under its long-term debt agreement.

2019
In November 2018, the Company entered into an ”At-the-Market” (“ATM”) Equity Distribution Agreement (“EDA”) under which the Company is able, at its discretion and from time to time, subject to conditions in the EDA, to offer common shares through ATM issuances on the TSX or any other marketplace for aggregate proceeds not exceeding $31 million. This agreement provides that common shares are to be sold at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued a total of 12,865 common shares at an average price of $327.55 per share under the ATM for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,214, less transaction costs of $248 recorded in deficit, for total net proceeds of $3,966.
On January 29, 2019, the Company issued 4,420 common shares in settlement of second payment due for the license acquisition payment obligation and recorded $1,326 in share capital based on the market value of the shares on that date.
On February 25 and 27, 2019, the Company issued a total of 1,472 common shares in payment for amounts due to certain suppliers. This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of liabilities and the difference between the carrying value of the accounts payable of $465 and the amount recorded for the shares issued of $545, which were valued at the market price of the shares on their date of issuance, was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of liabilities of $80.
As part of the settlement agreement concluded in April 2019 with the former CEO of the Company, common shares held in escrow as security for a share purchase loan of $400 to the former CEO were released and the loan extinguished in exchange for the receipt of a payment of $137, representing the fair value of the shares at the time of the settlement.
On April 23, 2019, the Company issued 15,050,312 common shares as part of the debt restructuring (note 13). The shares issued in relation with the debt restructuring contained trading restrictions and accordingly, the Company determined that their quoted price did not fairly represent the value of the shares issued. As such, the issued shares were recorded at fair value using a market approach under a level 2 fair value measurement of $15.21 per share, resulting in a value of the shares issued of $228,915. The fair value was based on a share issuance for cash on the same date with a non-related party. The difference between the adjustment to the carrying value of the loan of $141,536 and the amount recorded for the shares issued of $228,915 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of a loan of $87,379.
Concurrently, the Company closed two private placements for 4,931,161 common shares at a subscription price rounded to the nearest two decimals of $15.21 for gross proceeds of $75,000, less transaction costs of $4,802 recorded in deficit, for total net proceeds of $70,198. SALP’s participation in the private placement was for gross proceeds to the Company of $25.0 million.

The Right Offering was subject to a proration to ensure that no more than $75,000 was raised. In June 2019, the Company issued 2,592,628 common shares for gross proceeds of $39,434 as part of the Right Offerings less transactions costs of $271 recorded in deficit, for total net proceeds of $39,163.
2018
On January 29, 2018, the Company issued 742 common shares in partial payment for the acquisition of a license and 371 common shares to acquire an option to buy production equipment. Based on the $1760 share price on that date, the values attributed to the shares issued were $1,960.
On April 27, 2018, the Company reacquired the non-controlling shareholders’ 13% interest in Prometic Bioproduction Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 4,712 common shares of the Company. Based on the $770 share price on that date, the value attributed to the shares issued was $3,629 (note 17).

2019
On January 24, 2019, 1,622 stock options were granted at an exercise price of $300.00 and vesting on December 31, 2019. On June 4, 2019, 1,794,224 stock options were granted to key management at a strike price of $36.00 of which 248,825 stock options vested immediately and the remaining vest over a period up to six years. On June 19, 2019, 251,714 stock options were issued at a strike price of $27.00 of which 60,717 stock options vested immediately and the remaining vest over a period up to four years. The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options issued in 2019 was $13.17.
In June and August 2019 the Company cancelled the options that were issued prior to June 2019, as the exercise price of these options were so above the market price at the time, that it was highly unlikely that they would ever be exercised. In compensation for their agreement to the cancellation, key management and employees, received the new options granted to them in June 2019 discussed above. Consequently, 11,084 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $1,256.73 were cancelled. There was no exercise of stock options in 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 1,681 stock options were exercised resulting in cash proceeds of $635 and a transfer from contributed surplus to share capital of $438. The weighted average share price on the date of exercise of the options during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1,040.00.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of options at the date of grant. The weighted average inputs into the model and the resulting grant date fair values during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

2019
On January 31, 2019, the Company granted 12,564 RSU at a grant price of $300.00 and a one-year vesting period. On May 30, 2019, the Company decided to vest the 12,564 RSU and the employees were given the choice to receive the then current value of the shares in cash or to receive the shares at a later date. As a result, 8,396 RSU were released and paid in cash resulting in a reduction to contributed surplus of $421.
On May 7, 2019 the 12,886 performance-based RSU pertaining to the “2017-2019” cycle and the “2018-2020” cycle were modified by removing the performance conditions and converting them into time-vesting RSU. The quantity modified into time-vesting units was equivalent to the 100% achievement range whereby in the past, the outcome of the performance conditions could go from zero to 150%. In the past, the Company has always reported the quantity of RSU outstanding as the maximum number of shares that could be issued under the plan. This change resulted in the cancellation of 4,305 units.
At September 30, 2019, 8,315 vested RSU and 9,502 unvested RSU were outstanding. Share-based payment compensation expense of $280 and $9,484 was recorded during the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The portion of this compensation related to key management personnel is $243 and $6,745 for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
2018
At September 30, 2018, 1,874 vested RSU and 7,497 unvested RSU were outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 10 vested RSU were released and an equivalent number of shares were issued out of treasury resulting in a transfer from contributed surplus to share capital of $30. A share-based payment compensation expense of $351 and $856 were recorded during the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The portion of this compensation related to key management personnel is $368 and $851 for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

2019
On February 22, 2019, pursuant to modifying the fourth loan agreement (note 13), the Company issued 19,402 warrants, Warrants #9, having an exercise price of $156.36. Warrants #9 do not meet the definition of an equity instrument since the underlying preferred shares qualify as a liability instrument, and therefore they must be accounted for as a financial instrument carried at fair value through profit or loss (note 12).
On April 23, 2019, as part of the debt restructuring (note 13), 168,735 warrants (Warrants #1, 2, 8 and 9) were cancelled and replaced with an equivalent number of new warrants, Warrants #10, that will be exercisable at an exercise price of $15.21 per common share and expire on April 23, 2027. The increase in the fair value of the replacement warrants compared to those cancelled was $408 at the date of the modification and was recorded in shareholders’ equity – warrants with the corresponding expense recorded as part of the loss on extinguishment of liabilities due to the debt restructuring.
2018
On January 29, 2018, the Company issued 4,000 warrants to acquire common shares, as consideration for a license. The warrants have an exercise price of $3,000.00 per share and expire after five years. The first 2,000 warrants become exercisable after one year while the second 2,000 warrants become exercisable after two years. The fair value of the warrants and consequently the value of the license is $1,743 and was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
On November 30, 2017, pursuant to entering into a non-revolving credit facility agreement, the Company issued the Seventh Warrants to the holder of the long-term debt. Further details concerning the credit facility are provided in note 13. The Seventh Warrants consist of 54,000 warrants from which 10,000 warrants were exercisable as of the date of the agreement and the remaining 44,000 warrants become exercisable as and if

the Company draws upon the credit facility in increments of US$10 million; 5,000 warrants become exercisable for each US$10 million drawn on the first US$40 million tranche of the credit facility and 6,000 warrants become exercisable for each US$10 million drawn on the second US$40 million tranche of the credit facility. Each warrant gives the holder the right to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $1,700.00. The warrants expire on June 30, 2026. Although the warrants are issued and outstanding in the warrant table above, for accounting purposes, these warrants will be recognized and measured at the time they become exercisable.
As the Company drew an amount of US$10 million on the Credit Facility on each of January 22, February 23, April 30, August 2, September 21, and November 22, 2018, the amounts received were allocated to the debt and the Warrants #7 that vested upon the draw, based on their fair value at the time of the drawdown. The aggregate value of the proceeds attributed to the warrants that became exercisable on those dates was $11,159, which was recorded in equity.
On November 14, 2018 an agreement was signed between the Company and the holder of the long-term debt to extend the maturity of the three OID loans and the Credit Facility (note 13). As part of the cost for the debt modification, the Company proceeded on November 30, 2018 to cancel 100,117 existing warrants (Warrants #3 to 7) and replace them with 128,057 new warrants (Warrants #8), each giving the holder the right to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $1000.00 per share, paid either in cash or in consideration of the lender’s cancellation of an equivalent amount of the face value of an OID loan. The warrants expire on November 30, 2026. A payment of $10 was received from the holder of the long-term debt as part of this transaction. The increase in the fair value of the replacement warrants compared to those cancelled was $8,440 at the date of the modification. This value in addition to the payment received was recorded in shareholders’ equity – warrants and the corresponding debit was recorded against the gain on extinguishment of liabilities relating to the debt modification.
As at September 30, 2019, the following warrants were outstanding:

19. Income taxes
As a result of the conversion of the parent’s debt into shares of Liminal, more than 50% of the issued shares of Liminal are now owned by a single shareholder. The tax rules in the jurisdictions in which Liminal operates create restrictions that will have an impact on how some of the losses are available to shelter taxable income generated in taxation years ending after this change of ownership. Management continues to evaluate the practical implications of the application of these rules in each jurisdiction as well as looking at alternatives to mitigate the implications related to their application.
20. Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for any bonus element.
The number of average basic and diluted shares outstanding for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations have been adjusted in order to reflect the effect of the bonus element of the Rights Offering that occurred in June 2019 and the share consolidation that took place on July 5, 2019 (note 16).
21. Segmented information
The Company’s three operating segments are Small molecule therapeutics, Plasma-derived therapeutics and Bioseparations.

23. Subsequent event
On November 4, 2019, the Company announced the signing of a binding share purchase agreement whereby it would sell its bioseparation operations to a third party for proceeds of up to GBP 32.0 million upon closing of the transaction with subsequent contingent consideration payments depending on revenue milestones. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2019. The bioseparations segment includes three subsidiaries and upon conclusion of this transaction, the Company would sell the two most important subsidiaries. The Company expects to record a gain on the sale of those two subsidiaries. The sale of these subsidiaries represents all of the revenues from the Bioseparations segment as presented in note 21. Following the closing of the share purchase agreement, the Company no longer expects to generate any revenues from this segment. The Company is currently assessing the other impacts of this transaction on its financial statements.
On November 11, 2019, the Company and SALP amended the April 23, 2019 loan agreement to include a non-revolving line of credit (“LOC”) with a limit of up to $75.0 million, bearing a stated interest of 10%, payable quarterly, and maturing on April 23, 2024. The LOC limit available to draw upon will be automatically reduced by the amounts of net proceeds generated, upon the occurrence of all or any of the following transactions; the expected sale of the bioseparations operations, a licensing transaction for its product Ryplazim™ or equity raises. The Company’s ability to draw on the LOC expires May 11, 2021.
