NIGHTHAWK BIOSCIENCES, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On December 11, 2023, NightHawk Biosciences, Inc. (“NightHawk” or the “Company”) entered into an Assets and Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the ”Agreement”) with Elusys Holdings, Inc. (the “Buyer“) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Buyer (i) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company’s subsidiary, Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Elusys”) and (ii) the exclusive right to use the name “NightHawk” and ownership of all trademark, goodwill and other rights in connection with such name (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”) (such transaction, the ”Transaction”). The Buyer is a subsidiary of a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Upon execution of the Agreement, the Buyer paid the Company a cash payment of $500,000 and agreed to assume at the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) certain specified liabilities and manufacturing commitments relating to Elusys’ business and the assumption by Buyer of all operating costs of Elusys, including the costs incurred after the Closing related to Elusys employees, consultants, and regulatory and research costs (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). The Buyer will also be obligated to pay to the Company on an annual basis a royalty fee equal to 3% of gross revenue received by Buyer or any of its affiliates or their respective successors or licensees from all sales of the anthrax antitoxin known as ANTHIM® during the period commencing on January 1, 2024 and ending on June 30, 3031; provided that, if as of December 31, 2028, the Company has not received an aggregate of $5,000,000 in such royalty fees, Buyer will be obligated to pay to the Company no later than March 1, 2029 a cash payment equal to the difference between the aggregate amount of such royalty fees received by the Company and $5,000,000.
In addition, the Buyer agreed, as a post-closing covenant, to purchase from the Company no later than January 20, 2024, in a separate transaction (the “Note Investment”) a convertible promissory note in the aggregate amount of $2,250,000 (the “Note”). The Note will bear interest at rate of 1% per annum, mature on the one-year anniversary of its issuance and convert into shares of our common stock only if shareholder approval of the issuance of such shares of common stock is obtained prior to the maturity date. The conversion price will be equal to 110% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock for the seven trading days prior to December 11, 2023, provided however that the conversion price shall be adjusted if the Company consummates a financing within sixty days of December 11, 2023, to be 110% of the per share purchase price of the common stock in such public financing; provided further that such adjustment shall only be made one time regardless of multiple financings. Because the Note Investment was made contemporaneously with entering into the Agreement, we preliminarily expect that for accounting purposes proceeds received in excess of the fair value of the Note Investment will be accounted for as additional consideration for the Transaction as described below in Pro Forma Adjustments.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, is presented as if the sale of Elusys, as described in the notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, had occurred on September 30, 2023.
