UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On October 5, 2020, Aduro Biotech, Inc. (“Aduro”) completed its business combination with Chinook Therapeutics U.S., Inc. (“Private Chinook”) in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of June 1, 2020, as amended on August 17, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”). On October 5, 2020, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aduro merged with and into Private Chinook, with Private Chinook surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Aduro (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Aduro effected a one-for-five reverse stock split effective on October 2, 2020 and changed its name to Chinook Therapeutics, Inc. (“Chinook” or the “Company”) on October 5, 2020.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to:
| (i) | the Merger to be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Private Chinook being deemed the acquiring company for accounting purposes; |
| (ii) | the 1:5 reverse stock split effected by Aduro immediately prior to the closing of the Merger; and |
| (iii) | the sale of common stock of Private Chinook to certain investors under subscription agreements (the Subscription Agreements”), with gross proceeds of $115 million, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. |
| (iv) | Conversion of Chinook preferred stock into shares of Aduro common stock |
Private Chinook was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the merger and other factors including (i) Chinook’s largest historic shareholder retains the largest minority interest in the combined business, (ii) Chinook directors hold the largest board of director representation in the combined company, (iii) Chinook management holds a majority of key management positions of the combined company, and (iv) the combined company is named Chinook Therapeutics, Inc. and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 assumes that the merger took place on September 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 assume that the merger took place as of January 1, 2019. The historical financial information of Aduro and Private Chinook have been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the information of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. The application of the acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to be completed. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed, and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could be material.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, regulatory matters, operating efficiencies or other savings or expenses that may be associated with the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had Aduro and Chinook been a combined company during the specified period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the Aduro and Chinook historical audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited condensed financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
