Organization and description of business operations | Note 1. Organization and description of business operations Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as BioPharmX Corporation (together with its subsidiary Timber Pharmaceuticals Australia Pty Ltd. and Timber Pharmaceuticals LLC, the “Company” or “Timber”) is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. Timber was founded in 2019 to develop treatments for unmet needs in medical dermatology. Timber has a particular focus on rare diseases or conditions of the skin for which there are no current treatments. Timber is initially targeting multiple indications in rare/orphan dermatology with no approved treatments. Merger Agreement On May 18, 2020, BioPharmX Corporation (“BioPharmX”) completed its business combination with Timber Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Timber Sub”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 28, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among BioPharmX, Timber Sub and BITI Merger, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto made and entered into as of March 24, 2020 (the “First Amendment”) and Amendment No. 2 thereto made and entered into as of April 27, 2020 (the “Second Amendment”) (the Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Timber Sub, with Timber Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with, and immediately prior to the completion of, the Merger, BioPharmX effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1‑for‑12 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Immediately after completion of the Merger, BioPharmX changed its name to “Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” and the officers and directors of Timber Sub became the officers and directors of the Company. Under the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement, BioPharmX issued shares of Common Stock to the holders of common units of Timber Sub. Immediately after the Merger, there were approximately 11,849,031 shares of Common Stock outstanding (after the Reverse Stock Split). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement, the former holders of common units of Timber Sub (including the Investors, as defined below, but excluding Value Appreciation Rights of Timber Sub (“VARs”), as defined below) owned in the aggregate approximately 88.5% of the outstanding Common Stock, with the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to the Merger owning approximately 11.5% of the outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holders of common units of Timber Sub for each common unit of Timber Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was calculated using an exchange ratio of approximately 629.57 shares of Common Stock for each Timber Sub unit. In addition, the 584 VARs that were outstanding immediately prior to Merger became denoted and payable in 367,670 shares of Common Stock at the Effective Time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”). Further, the holder of the 1,819,289 preferred units of Timber Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Merger received 1,819 shares of the newly created convertible Series A preferred stock at the Effective Time. As part of the Merger, the Company assumed 220,030 legacy BioPharmX warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $164.17 per share, and 97,870 legacy BioPharmX stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $45.81 per share. In connection with the Merger Agreement, BioPharmX entered into a Credit Agreement with Timber Sub, pursuant to which Timber Sub made a bridge loan to the Company (the “Bridge Loan”), in an aggregate amount of $2.25 million with $250,000 original issue discount. The Company incurred approximately $1.5 million of legal, consulting and other professional fees related to the Merger, which were classified as transaction expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Securities Purchase Agreement On May 18, 2020, Timber and Timber Sub completed a private placement transaction (the “Pre-Merger Financing”) with the Investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.0 million (comprised of (i) approximately $5 million credit with respect to the senior secured notes issued in connection with the bridge loan that certain of the Investors made to Timber Sub at the time of the execution of the Merger Agreement and (ii) approximately $20 million in cash from the Investors). Pursuant to the Pre-Merger Financing, (i) Timber Sub issued and sold to the Investors common units of Timber Sub which converted pursuant to the exchange ratio in the Merger into an aggregate of approximately 4,137,509 shares (the “Converted Shares”) of Common Stock; and (ii) the Company agreed to issue to each Investor, on the tenth trading day following the consummation of the Merger, (A) Series A Warrants representing the right to acquire shares of Common Stock (“Series A Warrants”) equal to 75% of the sum of (a) the number of Converted Shares issued to the Investor, without giving effect to any limitation on delivery contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Warrants issued to the Investor (the “Series B Warrants”) and (B) the Series B Warrants. On June 2, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 8,384,764 Series A Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Series A Warrants”) and 7,042,175 Series B Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Series B Warrants”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2020 between Timber Sub and several of the Investors, the Company issued to such purchasers, on May 22, 2020, warrants to purchase 413,751 shares of Common Stock (the “Bridge Warrants”) which have an exercise price of $2.2362 per share. Investor Warrants Series A Warrants The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $1.16 per share, were exercisable upon issuance and will expire on the day following the later to occur of (i) June 2, 2025 and (ii) the date on which the Series A Warrants have been exercised in full (without giving effect to any limitation on exercise contained therein) and no shares remain issuable thereunder. As of March 15, 2021, the Series A Warrants are exercisable for 16,701,824 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Series A Warrants, the Company has agreed not to enter into, allow or be party to certain fundamental transactions, generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of the Common Stock (a “Fundamental Transaction”) until May 1, 2021. Thereafter, upon any exercise of a Series A Warrant, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Series A Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Series A Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Series A Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the exercise price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the exercise price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Series A Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Series A Warrants, upon which the Series A Warrants shall become exercisable for shares of Common Stock, shares of the Common Stock of the Successor Entity or the consideration that would have been issuable to the holders had they exercised the Series A Warrants prior to such Fundamental Transaction, at the holders’ election. Additionally, at the request of a holder delivered before the 90th day after the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company must purchase such holder’s warrant for the value calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, or, if the Fundamental Transaction is not publicly announced, the date the Fundamental Transaction is consummated. If the Company fails to issue to a holder of Series A Warrants the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder’s exercise of the Series A Warrants, then the Company shall be obligated to pay the holder on each day while such failure is continuing an amount equal to 1.5% of the market value of the undelivered shares determined using a trading price of Common Stock selected by the holder while the failure is continuing and if the holder purchases shares of Common Stock in connection with such failure (“Series A Buy-In Shares”), then the Company must, at the holder’s discretion, reimburse the holder for the cost of such Series A Buy-In Shares or deliver the owed shares and reimburse the holder for the difference between the price such holder paid for the Series A Buy-In Shares and the market price of such shares, measured at any time of the holder’s choosing while the delivery failure was continuing. Further, the Series A Warrants provide that, in the event that the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of an exercise of a Series A Warrant, then unless the holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the holder may require the Company to pay an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares that the Company is unable to deliver and (ii) the highest volume-weighted average price of a share of Common Stock as quoted on the NYSE American during the period beginning on the date of such attempted exercise and ending on the date that the Company makes the applicable payment. On November 19, 2020 the Company entered into waiver agreements with each of the holders of the Company’s Series A Warrants. Pursuant to the waiver agreements the holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the Warrants in order to allow for one immediate and final reset of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants and the exercise price of the Series A Warrants, and permanently waive the provisions providing for future resets of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants and the exercise price of the Series A Warrants (other than the anti-dilution protection provisions in the Series A Warrants providing for adjustments to the exercise price of the Series A Warrants upon a dilutive issuance). As a result, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was set at $1.16 per share and the number of shares underlying all of the Series A Warrants was set at 20,178,214. Series B Warrants The Series B Warrants had an exercise price of $0.001 per share, were exercisable upon issuance and were exercised in full on March 4, 2021. The Series B Warrants were exercisable for 22,766,776 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. On November 19, 2020 the Company entered into waiver agreements with each of the holders of the Company’s Series B Warrants. Pursuant to the waiver agreements the holders agreed to waive certain provisions in the Warrants in order to allow for one immediate and final reset of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series B Warrants. As a result, the number of shares underlying all of the Series B Warrants was set at 22,766,776 and the exercise price remains at $.001 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 15,292,744 Series B warrants were exercised for 15,284,992 shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares underlying a holder’s Series B Warrants was calculated using the existing formula set forth in the Series B Warrants and was reached by dividing the initial purchase price paid by the holder under the Purchase Agreement by a “Reset Price”, equal to the arithmetic average of the five (5) lowest Weighted Average Prices (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock during the applicable “Reset Period,” in this case being the nine Trading Day (as defined in the Warrants) period ending on the Effective Date (but not less than the Reset Floor Price), and subtracting from such quotient the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or that were issuable) under the Purchase Agreement to the holder. Bridge Warrants The Bridge Warrants, were issued on May 22, 2020 to the Bridge Investors, have an exercise price of $2.2362 per share, were immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The Bridge Warrants are exercisable for 413,751 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. The Bridge Warrants provide that if Timber issues or sells or in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Warrants, is deemed to have issued or sold any shares of Common Stock for a price per share lower than the exercise price then in effect subject to certain limited exceptions, then the exercise price of the Bridge Warrants shall be reduced to such lower price per share. Upon the consummation of Fundamental Transaction by the Company, upon any exercise of a Bridge Warrant, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Bridge Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Bridge Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Bridge Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the exercise price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the exercise price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Bridge Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any Successor Entity to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Bridge Warrants, upon which the Bridge Warrants shall become exercisable for shares of Common Stock, shares of the Common Stock of the Successor Entity or the consideration that would have been issuable to the holders had they exercised the Bridge Warrants prior to such Fundamental Transaction, at the holders’ election. Additionally, at the request of a holder of a Bridge Warrant delivered before the 90th day after the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, Timber or the successor entity must purchase such holder’s warrant for the value calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, or, if the Fundamental Transaction is not publicly announced, the date the Fundamental Transaction is consummated. The Bridge Warrants also contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders to exercise the Bridge Warrants without making a cash payment in the event that there is no effective registration statement registering the shares issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants. The Bridge Warrants are subject to a blocker provision which restricts the exercise of the Bridge Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise), as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Warrants. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has no product revenues, incurred operating losses since Inception, and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $18.2 million at December 31, 2020, a net loss of approximately $15.1 million, and approximately $8.3 million of net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. Going Concern The Company has evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year beyond the filing of this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation and the Company’s current plans, which are subject to change, management believes that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 are not sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the year after the filing of this Annual Report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including: · its ability to raise additional funds to finance its operations, including its ability to access financing that may be unavailable due to contractual limitations under the Securities Purchase Agreement; · the outcome, costs and timing of clinical trial results for the Company’s current or future product candidates, including the timing, progress, costs and results of its Phase 2b clinical trial of TMB‑001 for the treatment of congenital ichthyosis as well as its ongoing Phase 2b clinical trial of TMB‑002 for the treatment of facial angiofibromas in tuberous sclerosis complex; · the outcome, timing and cost of meeting regulatory requirements established by the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities; · the emergence and effect of competing or complementary products; · its ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of its intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments the Company may be required to make, or that it may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights; · the cost and timing of completion of commercial-scale manufacturing activities; · the cost of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for its products in regions where it chooses to commercialize its products on its own; · the initiation, progress, timing and results of the commercialization of its product candidates, if approved for commercial sale; · its ability to retain its current employees and the need and ability to hire additional management and scientific and medical personnel; and · the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that it has or may establish. The Company will need to raise substantial additional funds through one or more of the following: issuance of additional debt or equity and/or the completion of a licensing or other commercial transaction for one or more of the Company’s product candidates. If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. This could affect future development and business activities and potential future clinical studies and/or other future ventures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the needed financing on acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, equity or convertible debt financings will likely have a dilutive effect on the holdings of the Company’s existing stockholders. The impact of the worldwide spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has been unprecedented and unpredictable. Site activation and patient enrollment have recently been impacted by the COVID‑19 pandemic in the larger and longer TMB‑002 study, especially at our contracted test sites in Eastern Europe. The Company is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID‑19 and the actions implemented to combat the virus throughout the world and its assessment of the impact of COVID‑19 may change. |
