Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on our projections of the future that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report and incorporated by reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual results may be materially different from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
This Quarterly Report contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to market size and growth and other data about its industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.
Our first commercial product, Phexxi, was approved by the FDA on May 22, 2020. Phexxi is the first and only non-hormonal prescription contraceptive gel that women only use when they have sex. Because Phexxi is hormone-free and non-systemic, it is not associated with side effects of hormonal contraceptive methods such as depression, weight gain, headaches, loss of libido, mood swings and irritability. Taking hormones may not be right for some women, especially those with certain medical conditions, including clotting disorders, hormone-sensitive cancers, diabetes or a BMI over 30 as well as women who are breast feeding, and / or smoke. More than 23.3 million women in the U.S. do not want to get pregnant and will not use a hormonal contraceptive.
We have delivered Phexxi net sales growth in each consecutive year since it was launched in September 2020. Key growth drivers for 2024 include expanded use of Phexxi in women who take oral birth control pills in conjunction with GLP-1 prescription medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound for weight loss. These drugs may make oral birth control pills less effective at certain points in the dosing schedule. Per the USPI, prescribers are counselled to “advise patients using oral contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or add a barrier method” to prevent unintended pregnancy during these times.
Outside the U.S., the Company’s strategy is to commercialize Phexxi in global markets through commercial partnerships and/or license agreements. Phexxi was approved in Nigeria on October 6, 2022, as Femidence™ by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control. Phexxi has been submitted for approval in Mexico, Ethiopia and Ghana. In July 2024, we licensed commercial rights to Phexxi in the Middle East to Pharma 1 Drug Store, LLC, an emerging Emirati health care company (Pharma 1). Pharma 1 intends to file for regulatory approval of Phexxi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the second half of 2024.
In July 2024 we acquired global rights to SOLOSEC® (secnidazole) 2g oral granules. This FDA-approved single-dose oral antimicrobial agent provides a complete course of therapy for the treatment of two common sexual health infections – bacterial vaginosis (BV) and trichomoniasis. This acquisition aligns with and advances our mission to improve access to innovative and differentiated options that impact women’s daily lives. We plan to re-launch SOLOSEC in the second half of 2024, leveraging our commercial infrastructure and strong physician relationships.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report to “Evofem,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

EVOFEM BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Evofem is a San Diego-based biopharmaceutical company focused on commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in women’s sexual and reproductive health.
The Company’s first commercial product, Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate) vaginal gel (Phexxi), was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 22, 2020, and is the first and only FDA-approved, hormone-free, woman-controlled, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel. The Company commercially launched Phexxi in September 2020 and has grown net sales in each successive year. Phexxi net product sales were $16.8 million in 2022 and increased to $18.2 million in 2023.
On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended, (the Merger Agreement) with Aditxt, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Aditxt) and Adifem, Inc. (f/k/a Adicure, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Aditxt (Merger Sub), respectively, (collectively, the Parties), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the Merger Sub is expected to merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aditxt (the Merger). As discussed in Note 10 – Subsequent Events, the Parties entered into an amended and restated the Merger Agreement (the A&R Merger Agreement) in July 2024 and are working toward closing in late 2024.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024 (the 2023 Audited Financial Statements).
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and statements of convertible and redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the 2023 Audited Financial Statements.
Risks, Uncertainties and Going Concern
Any disruptions in the commercialization of Phexxi and/or its supply chain could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities, in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s principal operations are related to the commercialization of Phexxi and, following its acquisition in July 2024, SOLOSEC. Additional activities have included raising capital, identifying alternative manufacturing to lower Phexxi cost of goods sold (COGS), seeking ex-U.S. licensing partners and product in-licensing/acquisition opportunities to add non-dilutive capital to the balance sheet, and establishing and maintaining a corporate infrastructure to support a commercial product. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $66.0 million and an accumulated deficit of $892.3 million.
Since October 3, 2022, the Company’s common stock has traded on the OTC Venture Market (the OTCQB) of the OTC Markets Group, Inc., a centralized electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities, under the symbol “EVFM.” The OTCQB imposes, among other requirements, a minimum $0.01 per share bid price requirement (the Bid Price Requirement) for continued inclusion on the OTCQB. The closing bid price for the Company’s common stock must remain at or above $0.01 per share to comply with the Bid Price Requirement for continued listing. As of August 8, 2024, the closing price was $0.01.
Management’s plans to meet its cash flow needs in the next 12 months include generating recurring product revenue from Phexxi and SOLOSEC, restructuring its current payables, and obtaining additional funding through means such as the issuance of its capital stock, non-dilutive financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies, including license agreements for Phexxi in the U.S. or foreign markets, SOLOSEC in foreign markets, or other potential business combinations.
The Company anticipates it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. According to management estimates, liquidity resources as of June 30, 2024 were not sufficient to maintain the Company’s cash flow needs for the twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
If the Company is not able to obtain the required funding through a significant increase in revenue, equity or debt financings, license agreements for Phexxi and/or SOLOSEC, or other means, or is unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to the Company, or if there is another event of default affecting the notes payable, there will be a material adverse effect on commercialization operations and the Company’s ability to execute its strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional funding and implement its strategic development plan, the Company may be forced to make further reductions in spending, including spending in connection with its commercialization activities, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible at a potentially lower amount than as recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, suspend or curtail planned operations, or cease operations entirely. Any of these could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and business prospects, and the Company would not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company has concluded that these circumstances and the uncertainties associated with the Company’s ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, or at all, and otherwise succeed in its future operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to: the assumptions used in measuring the revenue gross-to-net variable consideration items; the trade accounts receivable credit loss reserve estimate; the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of convertible notes, preferred stock, warrants and purchase rights issued; the assumptions used in the valuation of inventory; the useful lives of property and equipment; the recoverability of long-lived assets; and the valuation of deferred tax assets. These assumptions are more fully described in Note 3 – Revenue, Note 4 – Debt, Note 6 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 9 - Stock-based Compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and adjusts when facts and circumstances dictate. The estimates are the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and recorded expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may materially differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Deposits in the Company’s checking, time deposit and investment accounts are maintained in federally insured financial institutions and are subject to federally insured limits or limits set by Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company invests in funds through a major U.S. bank and is exposed to credit risk in the event of default to the extent of amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant concentrations of credit risk on its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances on amounts in excess of federally insured limits due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held.
The Company is also subject to credit risk related to its trade accounts receivable from product sales. Its customers are located in the U.S. and consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and mail-order specialty pharmacies. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business after evaluating their overall financial condition and evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable by periodically reviewing the age of the receivables, the financial condition of its customers, and its past collection experience. Historically, the Company has not experienced any credit losses. As of June 30, 2024, based on the evaluation of these factors the Company did not record a reserve for expected credit loss.
Products are distributed primarily through three major distributors and mail-order pharmacies, who receive service fees calculated as a percentage of the gross sales, and a fee-per-unit shipped, respectively. These entities are not obligated to purchase any set number of units. They distribute products on demand as orders are received.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s three largest customers combined made up approximately 75% and 79% of its gross product sales, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s three largest customers combined made up approximately 81% and 84% of its gross product sales, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s three largest customers combined made up 82% and 87%, respectively, of its trade accounts receivable balance.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies that were described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2023 Audited Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of readily available cash in checking accounts and money market funds. Restricted cash consists of cash held in monthly time deposit accounts and letters of credit as described in Note 7- Commitments and Contingencies. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the letters of credit of $0.3 million for the Company’s fleet leases were released. Upon receipt of a notice of default from its landlord on March 20, 2023, for failing to pay March 2023 rent timely resulting in a breach under the office lease agreement, the Company’s letter of credit in the amount of $0.8 million in restricted cash was recovered by the landlord.
Additionally, the remaining funds of the $25.0 million received from the issuance of Adjuvant Notes (as defined below) in the fourth quarter of 2020 are classified as restricted cash since the Company is contractually obligated to use these funds for specific purposes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include restricted cash only.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. The net income (loss) available to common stockholders is adjusted for amounts in accumulated deficit related to the deemed dividends triggered for certain financial instruments. Such adjustment was immaterial and zero in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as well as for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share are summarized in the table below. Common shares were calculated for the convertible preferred stock and the convertible debt using the if-converted method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements open to update
No significant new standards were adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standards setting bodies that are adopted as of the specified effective date.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, designed to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements on a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) with the SEC regulations. This guidance is effective for the Company no later than June 30, 2027. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2023-06 by complying with the various disclosure requirements but does not expect the requirements to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, designed to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. ASU No. 2023-07 will be effective for the Company beginning with the annual filing for the period ended December 31, 2024 and will require retroactive application to comparison periods presented. For Companies that have only one reportable segment (such as the Company), all the requirements of ASU No. 2023-07 will be required to be disclosed regarding the one reportable segment. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2023-07 on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures addressing income tax disclosures, requiring entities to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for certain reconciling items and categories. ASU No. 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2023-09 by adding the required disclosures for the December 31, 2024 Annual Report.
The Company does not believe the impact of any other recently issued standards and any issued but not yet effective standards will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
3. Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Phexxi and will recognize future revenue from SOLOSEC in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer. In accordance with the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. The Company’s customers are located in the U.S. and consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and mail-order specialty pharmacies. Payment terms typically range from 31 to 66 days, include prompt pay discounts, and vary by customer. Trade accounts receivable due to the Company from contracts with its customers are stated separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of various allowances as described in the Trade Accounts Receivable policy in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the 2023 Audited Financial Statements.
The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is equal to the amount of consideration that is expected to be received from the sale of product to its customers. Revenue is only recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine whether a significant reversal will occur in future periods, the Company assesses both the likelihood and magnitude of any such potential reversal of revenue.
Products are sold to customers at the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) or, in some cases, at a discount to WAC. However, the Company records product revenue net of reserves for applicable variable consideration. These types of variable consideration reduce revenue and include the following:
| ● | Distribution services fees |
| ● | Prompt pay and other discounts |
| ● | Product returns |
| ● | Chargebacks |
| ● | Rebates |
| ● | Patient support programs, including our co-pay programs |
An estimate for variable consideration is made with each sale and is recorded in conjunction with the revenue being recognized. To calculate the variable consideration, the Company uses the expected value method and the estimated amounts are recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable or as a current liability based on the nature of the allowance and the terms of the related arrangements. An estimated amount of variable consideration may differ from the actual amount. At each balance sheet date, these provisions are analyzed and adjustments are made if necessary. Any adjustments made to these provisions would also affect net product revenue and earnings.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company must make significant judgments to determine the estimate for certain variable consideration. For example, the Company must estimate the percentage of end-users that will obtain the product through public insurance, such as Medicaid, versus private commercial insurance. To determine these estimates, the Company relies on historical sales data showing the amount of various end-user consumer types, inventory reports from the wholesale distributors and mail-order specialty pharmacies, and other relevant data reports.
The specific considerations that the Company uses in estimating these amounts related to variable consideration are as follows:
Distribution services fees – The Company pays distribution service fees to its wholesale distributors and mail-order specialty pharmacies. These fees are a contractually fixed percentage of WAC and are calculated at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. The Company considers these fees to be separate from the customer’s purchase of the product and, therefore, they are recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Prompt pay and other discounts – The Company incentivizes its customers to pay their invoices on time through prompt pay discounts. These discounts are an industry standard practice, and the Company offers a prompt pay discount to each wholesale distributor and retail pharmacy customer. The specific prompt pay terms vary by customer and are contractually fixed. Prompt pay discounts are typically taken by the Company’s customers, so an estimate of the discount is recorded at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. Prompt pay discount estimates are recorded as contra trade accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company may also give other discounts to its customers to incentivize purchases and promote customer loyalty. The terms of such discounts may vary by customer. These discounts reduce gross product revenue at the time the revenue is recognized.
Chargebacks – Certain government entities and covered entities (e.g., Veterans Administration, 340B covered entities, group purchasing organizations) are able to purchase products at a price discounted below WAC. The difference between the government or covered entity purchase price and the wholesale distributor purchase price of WAC will be charged back to the Company. The Company estimates the amount of each chargeback channel based on the expected number of claims in each channel and related chargeback that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Estimated chargebacks are recorded as contra trade accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Rebates – The Company is subject to mandatory discount obligations under the Medicaid and Tricare programs. The rebate amounts for these programs are determined by statutory requirements or contractual arrangements. Rebates are owed after the product has been dispensed to an end user and the Company has been invoiced. Rebates for Medicaid and Tricare are typically invoiced in arrears. The Company estimates the amount of rebates based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Rebate estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Patient support programs – The Company voluntarily offers a co-pay program to provide financial assistance to patients meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company estimates the amount of financial assistance for these programs based on the expected number of claims and related cost associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Patient support programs estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Product returns – Customers have the right to return product that is within six months or less of the labeled expiration date or that is past the expiration date by no more than twelve months. Phexxi was commercially launched in September 2020 with a 30-month shelf life. The shelf life increased to 48 months in June 2022. The Company uses historical sales and return data to estimate future product returns. Product return estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The variable considerations discussed above were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and consisted of $0.1 million and $0.3 million in contra trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively and $3.6 million and $3.2 million in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
4. Debt
Convertible Notes
Baker Bros. Notes (temporarily owned by Aditxt from December 11, 2023 through February 26, 2024)
On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Security Agreement (the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement) with certain affiliates of Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as purchasers (the Baker Purchasers), and Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as designated agent, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Baker Purchasers (i) convertible senior secured promissory notes (the Baker Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the Baker Warrants) in a private placement, which closed in two closings (April 24, 2020, the Baker Initial Closing, and June 9, 2020, the Baker Second Closing) As a result of the two closings, the Company issued and sold Baker Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million and Baker Warrants exercisable for 2,731 shares of common stock. Upon the completion of the underwritten public offering in June 2020, the exercise price of the Baker Warrants was $4,575 per share. The Baker Warrants have a five-year term with a cashless exercise provision and are immediately exercisable at any time from their respective issuance date.
The Baker Notes have a five-year term, with no pre-payment ability during the first three years. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Baker Notes (the Baker Outstanding Balance) accrues at 10.0% per annum, with interest accrued during the first year from the two respective closing dates recognized as payment-in-kind. The effective interest rate for the period was 10.0%. Accrued interest beyond the first year of the respective closing dates is to be paid in arrears on a quarterly basis in cash or recognized as payment-in-kind, at the direction of the Baker Purchasers. As discussed below, with the amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, interest payments were paid in-kind. Interest pertaining to the Baker Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $2.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, which was added to the outstanding principal balance. Interest pertaining to the Baker Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $2.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, which was added to the outstanding principal balance. The Company accounts for the Baker Notes under the fair value method as described below and, therefore, the interest associated with the Baker Notes is included in the fair value determination.
The Baker Notes were callable by the Company on 10 days’ written notice beginning on the third anniversary of the initial closing date of April 24, 2020 at a call price equal to 100% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the Company’s common stock as measured using a 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) was greater than the benchmark price of $9,356.25 as stated in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, or 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the VWAP was less than such benchmark price. The Baker Purchasers also had the option to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Baker Notes in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. In a repurchase event, as defined in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, the repurchase price will equal 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of default or the Company’s change of control, the repurchase price would equal to the sum of (x) three times of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus (y) the aggregate value of future interest that would have accrued. The Baker Notes were convertible at any time at the option of the Baker Purchasers at the conversion price of $4,575 per share prior to the First and Second Baker Amendments (as defined below).
On November 20, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the First Baker Amendment), in which each Baker Purchaser had the right to convert all or any portion of the Baker Notes into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $4,575 and (b) 115% of the lowest price per share of common stock (or, as applicable with respect to any equity securities convertible into common stock, 115% of the applicable conversion price) sold in one or more equity financings until the Company has met a qualified financing threshold defined as one or more equity financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $50 million (the Financing Threshold).
The First Baker Amendment also extended, effective upon the Company’s achievement of the Financing Threshold, the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of Phexxi by June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Additionally per the First Baker Amendment, if the Company were to issue warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company (or other similar consideration) in any equity financing that closed on or prior to the date on which the Company met the Financing Threshold, the Company was required to issue to the Baker Purchasers an equivalent coverage of warrants (or other similar consideration) on the same terms as if the Baker Purchasers had participated in the financing in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal of Baker Notes held by the Baker Purchasers. In satisfaction of this requirement and in connection with the closing of the May 2022 Public Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 582,886 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $93.75 per share to the Baker Purchasers (the June 2022 Baker Warrants). As required by the terms of the First Baker Amendment, the June 2022 Baker Warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the May 2022 Public Offering. Refer to Note 8 – Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit for further information. The exercise price of the initial Baker Warrants and the June 2022 Baker Warrants was reset multiple times as a result of various Notes issuances in accordance with the agreement. The exercise price was $0.0154 per share as of June 30, 2024.
On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Second Baker Amendment), which granted each Baker Purchaser the right to convert all or any portion of the Baker Notes into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $725.81 or (b) 100% of the lowest price per share of common stock (or as applicable with respect to any equity securities convertible into common stock, 100% of the applicable conversion price) sold in any equity financing until the Company (i) met the qualified financing threshold by June 30, 2022, defined as a single underwritten financing resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $20 million (Qualified Financing Threshold) and (ii) disclosed top-line results from the EVOGUARD clinical trial (the Clinical Trial Milestone) on or before October 31, 2022. The Second Baker Amendment also provided that the exercise price of the Baker Warrants will equal the conversion price of the Baker Notes. The Company met the Qualified Financing Threshold upon the closing of the May 2022 Public Offering, and as of September 30, 2022, the conversion price and exercise price of the Baker Warrants was reset to $93.75. The Company achieved the Clinical Trial Milestone in October 2022. Also, with the achievement of the Qualified Financing Threshold and the Clinical Trial Milestone, the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of Phexxi was extended to June 30, 2023, which was subsequently waived via the Baker Fourth Amendment as discussed below.
On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Third Baker Amendment), pursuant to which the conversion price was amended to $26.25, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive Company equity issuance adjustments for a two-year period; an interest make-whole payment due in certain circumstances was removed; and certain change of control and liquidation payment amounts were reduced from three times the outstanding amounts of the Baker Notes to two times the outstanding amounts. In addition, the Third Baker Amendment provided that the Company may make future interest payments to the Baker Purchasers in kind or in cash, at the Company’s option. On the same day, the Company also entered into a Secured Creditor Forbearance Agreement with the Baker Purchasers (Baker Forbearance Agreement), according to which the Baker Purchasers agreed to forebear the defaults that existed at that time.
On December 19, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement (the Amendment) effective as of December 15, 2022 to amend certain provisions of the Forbearance Agreement dated September 15, 2022. The Amendment revised the Forbearance Agreement to (i) amend the Fifth Recital Clause to clarify that the Purchasers consent to any additional indebtedness pari passu, but not senior to that of the Purchasers, in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million, and (ii) strike and entirely replace Section 4 to clarify the terms of the Purchasers’ consent to Interim Financing (as defined therein). No other revisions were made to the Forbearance Agreement.
On March 7, 2023, Baker Bros. Advisors, LP (the Designated Agent) provided a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the Notice of Default) relating to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement. The Notice of Default claimed that the Company failed to maintain the “Required Reserve Amount” as required by the Third Baker Amendment. The Designated Agent, at the direction of the Baker Purchasers, accelerated repayment of the outstanding balance payable. As a result, approximately $92.7 million, representing two times the sum of the outstanding balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due under the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement and other documents, was due and payable within three business days of receipt of the Notice of Default. In addition, the Company did not meet the $100.0 million cumulative net sales threshold by June 30, 2023 and as such was in default as of that date. As discussed below, all existing defaults were cured upon the signing of the Fourth Baker Amendment.
On September 8, 2023, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Fourth Baker Amendment) with the Baker Purchasers. The Fourth Amendment amends certain provisions within the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement including:
| (i) | the rescission of the Notice of Default delivered to the Company on March 7, 2023 and waiver of the Events of Default named therein; |
| | |
| (ii) | the waiver of any and all other Events of Default existing as of the Fourth Amendment date; |
| | |
| (iii) | the removal of the conversion feature into shares of Company common stock, including the removal of any requirement to reserve shares of common stock for conversion of the Baker Notes as well as any registration rights related thereto; |
| | |
| (iv) | the clarification that for the sole purpose of enabling ex-U.S. license agreements for such assets, any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights acquired after the Effective Date shall be excluded from the definition of Collateral; and, |
| | |
| (v) | the removal of the requirement for the Company to achieve $100 million in cumulative net Phexxi sales in the specified timeframe. |
The outstanding balance of the Baker Notes will continue to accrue interest at 10% per annum and, in the event of a default in the agreement or a failure to pay the Repurchase Price (as defined below) on or before September 8, 2028 (the Maturity Date), the Baker Purchasers may collect on the full principal amount then outstanding.
The Company paid the required $1.0 million upfront payment in September 2023, and is required to make quarterly cash payments based upon a percentage of the Company’s global net product revenue. The cash payments will be determined based upon the quarterly global net revenue of Phexxi according to the table below.
Schedule of Cash payments Determined based Upon the Quarterly Global Net Revenue
Quarterly global net revenue | | Quarterly cash payment |
≤ $5.0 million | | 3% of such global net revenues |
>$5.0 million and ≤ $7.0 million | | 3% on net revenue ≤ $5.0 million; 4% on the net revenue over $5.0 million |
Greater than $7.0 million | | 3% on the net revenue ≤ $5.0 million; 4% on the net revenue over $5.0 million and up to $7.0 million; 5% on net revenue over $7.0 million |
The cash payments were payable beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 and have been timely paid.
Regardless of the percentage paid, the quarterly cash payment amounts, along with the $1.0 million upfront payment, will be deducted from the Repurchase Price as Applicable Reductions.
The Fourth Amendment also granted the Company the ability to repurchase the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Baker Notes for up to a five-year period for the one-time Repurchase Price designated below:
Schedule of Repurchase Price Reduction
Date of Notes’ Repurchase | | Repurchase Price |
On or prior to September 8, 2024 | | $14,000,000 (less Applicable Reductions) |
September 9, 2024-September 8, 2025 | | $16,750,000 (less Applicable Reductions) |
September 9, 2025-September 8, 2026 | | $19,500,000 (less Applicable Reductions) |
September 9, 2026-September 8, 2027 | | $22,250,000 (less Applicable Reductions) |
September 9, 2027-September 8, 2028 | | $25,000,000 (less Applicable Reductions) |
The Company evaluated whether any of the Embedded Features required bifurcation as a separate component. The Company elected the fair value option (FVO) under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825), as the Baker Notes are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the FVO, the Company recognized the debt instrument at fair value, inclusive of the Embedded Features, with changes in fair value related to changes in the Company’s credit risk being recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other changes in fair value were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Due to the execution of the Fourth Baker Amendment, the Company reviewed the Baker Notes in accordance with ASC 470, Debt (ASC 470). Because the Baker Notes were recorded under the FVO, the Fourth Amendment was outside the scope of ASC 470-60 and as such did not qualify as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The Baker Notes were evaluated in accordance with ASC 470 and were determined to have failed certain qualitative factors to qualify as a modification and, therefore, were accounted for as an extinguishment. The Company removed the fair value of the old Baker Notes of $15.6 million and the related accumulated other comprehensive income of $73.2 million as of the date of extinguishment and recorded the fair value of the new Baker Notes, as measured on the date of the Baker Fourth Amendment as $12.5 million, and recognized a gain of approximately $75.3 million within the condensed consolidated statements of operations, in the gain (loss) on issuance of financial instruments line item, upon extinguishment in the year ended December 31, 2023. The gain included recognizing $73.2 million that had previously been a component of other comprehensive income as part of the prior quarterly revaluations using the valuation methods discussed in Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
As part of the consideration for the Merger, on December 11, 2023, the Baker Purchasers signed an agreement to assign the Baker Notes to Aditxt (the December Assignment Agreement). Upon this December Assignment Agreement, Aditxt assumed all terms under the Baker Notes, with Aditxt becoming the new senior secured debtholder of the Company, governed by the requirements under the Fourth Baker Amendment. The Baker Notes were re-assigned back to the Baker Purchasers on February 26, 2024 (the February Assignment Agreement).
Due to the execution of the February Assignment Agreement, the Company reviewed the Baker Notes in accordance with ASC 470. The Baker Notes, having been effectively terminated, were extinguished on February 26, 2024, resulting in removing the fair value of the old Baker Notes of $13.5 million. The newly re-assigned Baker Notes were subsequently recorded at fair value using the valuation methods discussed in Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
As of June 30, 2024, the Baker Notes are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term Notes – carried at fair value with a total fair value of $12.3 million, and the total outstanding balance including principal and accrued interest is $104.3 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid a total of $0.3 million in required cash payments as described above.
On July 23, 2024, the Baker Purchasers assigned the Baker Notes to Future Pak, LLC, as discussed in Note 10 – Subsequent Events.
Adjuvant Notes
On October 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement) with Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund, L.P., and Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund DE, L.P. (together, the Adjuvant Purchasers), pursuant to which the Company sold unsecured convertible promissory notes (the Adjuvant Notes) in aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million.
The Adjuvant Notes have a five-year term, and in connection with certain Company change of control transactions, the Adjuvant Notes may be prepaid at the option of the Company or will become payable on the date of the consummation of a change of control transaction at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers. The Adjuvant Notes accrue interest at 7.5% per annum on a quarterly basis in arrears to the outstanding balance of the Adjuvant Notes and are recognized as payment-in-kind. The effective interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 8.8%.
Interest expense for the Adjuvant Notes consist of the following, and is included in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
Schedule of Interest Expense
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Coupon interest | | $ | 546 | | | $ | 507 | | | $ | 1,081 | | | $ | 1,004 | |
Amortization of issuance costs | | | - | | | | 60 | | | | 28 | | | | 128 | |
Total | | $ | 546 | | | $ | 567 | | | $ | 1,109 | | | $ | 1,132 | |
The Adjuvant Notes are convertible, subject to customary 4.99% and 19.99% beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at any time at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers at a conversion price of $6,843.75 per share. In connection with certain Company change of control transactions, the Adjuvant Notes may be prepaid at the option of the Company or will become payable at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers. To the extent not previously prepaid or converted, the Adjuvant Notes were originally automatically convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $6,843.75 per share immediately following the earliest of the time at which the (i) 30-day value-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock was $18,750 per share, or (ii) the Company achieved cumulative net sales of $100.0 million, provided such net sales were achieved prior to July 1, 2022.
On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Amendment). The Adjuvant Amendment extended the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of Phexxi by June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The Adjuvant Amendment also provided for an adjustment to the conversion price of the Adjuvant Notes such that the conversion price (the Conversion Price) for these Notes, effective as of the May 2023 reverse stock split, will now be the lesser of (i) $678.49 and (ii) 100% of the lowest price per share of common stock (or with respect to securities convertible into common stock, 100% of the applicable conversion price) sold in any equity financing until the Company has met the Qualified Financing Threshold. Effective as of the Company’s achievement of the Qualified Financing Threshold, the automatic conversion provisions in the Agreement were further amended to provide that the Adjuvant Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price immediately following the earliest of the time at which the (i) 30-day value-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is $18,750 per share, or (ii) the Company achieves cumulative net sales of Phexxi of $100.0 million, provided such net sales were achieved prior to July 1, 2023.
The Adjuvant Notes contain various customary affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the Company. On September 12, 2022, the Company was in default of the Adjuvant Notes due to the default with the Baker Notes under the cross-default provision. On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the Adjuvant Forbearance Agreement) with the Adjuvant Purchasers, pursuant to which the Adjuvant Purchasers agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period as defined in therein, but solely with respect to the specified events of default provided under the Adjuvant Forbearance Agreement.
On September 15, 2022, the Company also entered into the second amendment to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement (the Second Adjuvant Amendment), pursuant to which the conversion price per share was reduced to $26.25, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive Company equity issuance adjustments for a two-year period. In addition, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which the Adjuvant Purchasers agreed to exchange 10% of the outstanding amount of the Adjuvant Notes as of September 15, 2022 (or $2.9 million) for rights to receive 109,842 shares of common stock (the Adjuvant Purchase Rights). The number of shares for each Adjuvant Purchase Right was initially fixed, but is subject to certain customary adjustments, and, until the second anniversary of issuance (i.e., October 14, 2022), adjustments for certain dilutive Company equity issuances. Refer to Note 8 – Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit for discussion regarding additional issuances of purchase rights under this provision. The Adjuvant Purchase Rights expire on June 28, 2027 and do not have an exercise price per share and, therefore, will not result in cash proceeds to the Company. As of June 30, 2024, all Adjuvant Purchase Rights remain outstanding. The conversion price of the Adjuvant Notes was reset during the quarter and was $0.0154 as of June 30, 2024. Assuming this conversion price per share, the Adjuvant Notes could be converted into 1,925,093,273 shares of common stock.
The Adjuvant Notes are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance for convertible debt instruments and are classified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate proceeds of $25.0 million were initially classified as restricted cash for financial reporting purposes due to contractual stipulations that specify the types of expenses the money can be spent on and how it must be allocated. The conversion feature was required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative because the Company did not have a sufficient number of shares reserved upon conversion as of March 31, 2023; however, the fair value of such feature was immaterial as of such date. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a sufficient number of shares reserved and the conversion feature was reclassified to stockholders’ deficit in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) at that time. See Note 6 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a description of the accounting treatment for the Adjuvant Purchase Rights.
The Company was in default of the Adjuvant Notes as of September 30, 2023, due to the failure to meet the cumulative net sales requirement. However, Adjuvant forbore such default in October 2023 and therefore the Company is no longer in default.
As of June 30, 2024, the Adjuvant Notes are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes payable with a total balance of $29.6 million. The balance is comprised of $22.5 million in principal, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, and $7.1 million in accrued interest. As of December 31, 2023, the Adjuvant Notes were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes payable with a total balance of $28.5 million. The balance was comprised of $22.5 million in principal, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, and $6.1 million in accrued interest.
Term Notes
December 2022 and February, March, April, July, August, and September 2023 Notes (SSNs)
The Company entered into eight Securities Purchase Agreements (SPAs) between December 2022 and September 2023 with certain investors. Each of the agreements was materially similar. The variable details of each SPA, such as the principal amount of each note offering, net proceeds, and maturity date, are outlined in the table below. Pursuant to each SPA, the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (i) unsecured 8.0% senior subordinated notes with the maturity dates and aggregate issue prices (ii) warrants to purchase the listed number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (including prefunded common stock Warrants as a part of the September 2023 SPA) and (iii) Series D Preferred Stock (the Preferred Shares; December 2022 SPA only) (collectively, the Senior Subordinated Notes, or SSNs). The SSNs had net proceeds to the Company from, and are convertible at, the amounts listed below.
The SSNs’ interest rates are subject to increase to 12% upon an event of default and the SSNs have no Company right to prepayment prior to maturity; however, the Company has the option to redeem the respective SSNs at a redemption premium of 32.5%. The Purchasers can also require the Company to redeem their respective SSNs a) at the respective premium rate tied to the occurrence of certain subsequent transactions, and b) in the event of subsequent placements (as defined). Also, pursuant to the terms of the SPAs, Purchasers have certain rights to participate in subsequent issuances of the Company’s securities, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, the conversion rate and warrant strike price are subject to adjustment upon the issuance of other securities (as defined) below the stated conversion rate and strike price at issuance. The strike prices adjusted as discussed in the table below.
The Company evaluated the SSNs in accordance with ASC 480 and determined that the Notes were all liability instruments at issuance. The applicable SSNs were then evaluated in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825 and the Company concluded that they were not precluded from electing the fair value option for the applicable SSNs.
The Company also evaluated the Warrants in accordance with ASC 480 and determined that the Warrants issued before the Reverse Stock Split in May 2023 were required to be recorded as liabilities at fair value in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The applicable SSNs were marked-to-market at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, unless the change is concluded to be related to changes in the Company’s credit rating, in which case the change was recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had sufficient shares available for issuance to cover the potential exercises; therefore, the Warrants that were previously classified as liabilities were marked-to-market and reclassified to equity in May 2023. For the Warrants issued after the Reverse Stock Split, the Company determined they were required to be recorded in equity.
On December 21, 2023, warrants to purchase up to 9,972,074 shares of the Company’s common stock were exchanged for 613 shares of the Company’s series F-1 convertible and redeemable preferred stock (Series F-1 Shares, as defined below). The Series F-1 Shares, some of which were also issued based on the partial value of certain purchase rights, as described above, were immediately exchanged to Aditxt series A-1 preferred stock and 22,280 Series F-1 Shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 and held by Aditxt. The Series F-1 Shares are to be cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.

Valuation Methodology
From the third quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023, the fair value of the Baker Notes issued, as described in Note 4 – Debt, and subsequent changes in fair value recorded at each reporting date, was determined by estimating the fair value of the Market Value of Invested Capital (MVIC) of the Company. This was estimated using forms of the cost and market approaches. In the Cost approach, an adjusted net asset value method was used to determine the net recoverable value of the Company, including an estimate of the fair of the Company’s intellectual property. The estimated fair value of the Company’s intellectual property was valued using a relief from royalty method which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenue, and the selection of the royalty and discount rates. The guideline public company method served as another valuation indicator. In this form of the Market approach, comparable market revenue multiples were selected and applied to the Company’s forward revenue forecast to ultimately derive a MVIC indication. If the resulting fair value from these approaches was not estimated as greater than the contractual payout, the fair value of the Baker Notes became only the Company MVIC available for distribution to this first lien note holder.
Starting in the third quarter of 2023, the fair value of the Baker Notes, issued as described in Note 4 – Debt is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model. The Monte Carlo simulation was used to take into account several embedded features and factors, including the exercise of the repurchase right, the Company’s future revenues, meeting certain debt covenants, the maturity term of the note and dissolution. For the dissolution scenario, the cost approach, an adjusted net asset value method was used to determine the net recoverable value of the Company, including an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s intellectual property. The estimated fair value of the Company’s intellectual property was valued using a relief from royalty method which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenue, and the selection of the royalty (5.0%) and discount (15.0%) rates.
The fair value of the Baker Notes is subject to uncertainty due to the assumptions that are used in the Monte Carlo simulation-based model. These factors include but are not limited to the Company’s future revenue, and the probability and timing of the exercise of the repurchase right. The fair value of the Baker Notes is sensitive to these estimated inputs made by management that are used in the calculation.
SSNs
The fair values of the SSNs issued, as described in Note 4 – Debt, were determined using the methods described above in Valuation Methodology using the residual value of the Company after the fair value of the Baker Notes. The quarterly valuation adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were respectively recorded as an immaterial and a $0.2 million change in fair value of financial instruments attributed to credit risk change in the condensed consolidated comprehensive statement of operations. The quarterly valuation adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were recorded as a $0.2 million change in fair value of financial instruments in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and a $0.2 million change in fair value of financial instruments attributed to credit risk change in the condensed consolidated comprehensive statement of operations. The quarterly valuation adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were recorded as a $0.2 million change in fair value of financial instruments attributed to credit risk change in the condensed consolidated comprehensive statement of operations.
Purchase Rights
The Adjuvant Purchase Rights and the May Note Purchase Rights (collectively Purchase Rights) are recorded as derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Purchase Rights are valued using an OPM, like a Black-Scholes Methodology with changes in the fair value being recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The assumptions used in the OPM are considered level 3 assumptions and include, but are not limited to, the market value of invested capital, the cumulative equity value of the Company as a proxy for the exercise price and the expected term the Purchase Rights will be held prior to exercise and a risk-free interest rate.
Warrants
Warrants previously classified as liabilities were reclassified as equity instruments during the second quarter of 2023 as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Company will continue to re-evaluate the classification of its warrants at the close of each reporting period to determine their proper balance sheet classification. The warrants are valued using an OPM based on the applicable assumptions, which include the exercise price of the warrants, time to expiration, expected volatility of our peer group, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The assumptions used in the OPM are considered level 3 assumptions and include, but are not limited to, the market value of invested capital, the cumulative equity value of the Company as a proxy for the exercise price, the expected term the warrants will be held prior to exercise, a risk-free interest rate, and probability of change of control event. Additionally, because the warrants are re-priced under certain provisions in the agreements, at each re-pricing event the Company must value the warrants using a Black-Scholes model immediately prior to and immediately following the re-pricing event. The incremental fair value is recorded as an increase to accumulated deficit and additional paid-in-capital, in accordance with ASC 470.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
Fleet Lease
In December 2019, the Company and Enterprise FM Trust (the Lessor) entered into a Master Equity Lease Agreement whereby the Company leases vehicles to be delivered by the Lessor from time to time with various monthly costs depending on whether the vehicles are delivered for a term of 24 or 36 months, commencing on each corresponding delivery date. The leased vehicles are for use by eligible employees of the Company’s commercial operations team. As of June 30, 2024, there were a total of 19 leased vehicles. The Company maintained a letter of credit as collateral in favor of the Lessor of $0.3 million included in restricted cash, which was released by the Lessor during the first quarter of 2023. The Company determined that the leased vehicles are accounted for as operating leases under ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842).
In September 2022, the Company extended the lease term for an additional 12 months for the vehicles with a term of 24 months. In May and June 2024, the Company again extended the lease term for an additional 12 months for vehicles with initial terms of 24 months. In both instances, the Company determined that such extensions are accounted for as modifications, for which the Company reassessed the lease classification and the incremental borrowing rate on the modification dates and accounted for accordingly.
2020 Lease and the First Amendment
On October 3, 2019, the Company entered into an office lease for approximately square feet (the High Bluff Premises) pursuant to a non-cancelable lease agreement (the 2020 Lease). The 2020 Lease commenced on April 1, 2020 with an expiry of September 30, 2025, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The Company provided the landlord with a $0.8 million security deposit in the form of a letter of credit for the High Bluff Premises.
On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into the first amendment to the 2020 Lease for an additional rentable square feet of the same office location (the Expansion Premises), which commenced on September 1, 2020 with an expiry of September 30, 2025. The Company provided an additional $0.05 million in a letter of credit for the Expansion Premises.
On March 20, 2023, the Company received a notice of default from its landlord for failing to timely pay March 2023 rent, resulting in a breach under the agreement. As a result, the Company’s letter of credit in the amount of $0.8 million, in restricted cash, was recovered by the landlord. In June 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord. As a result of such settlement, the Company reversed its associated remaining ROU assets of $3.3 million and lease liabilities of $4.2 million and recognized a gain of $0.2 million.
2022 Sublease
On May 27, 2022, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with AMN Healthcare, Inc. (AMN), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sublease 16,637 rentable square feet of the High Bluff Premises to AMN for a term commencing on June 15, 2022 and ending coterminous with the 2020 Lease on September 30, 2025, in exchange for the sum of approximately $0.1 million per month, subject to an annual 3.5% increase each year. Gross sublease income was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The sublease was terminated along with the settlement of the 2020 Lease in June 2023.

Contingencies
From time to time the Company may be involved in various lawsuits, legal proceedings, or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company settled a portion of its trade payables with numerous vendors, which resulted in a $2.1 million reduction in trade payables. As of June 30, 2024, there were no other claims or actions pending against the Company which management believes have a probable, or reasonably possible, probability of an unfavorable outcome. However, the Company may receive trade payable demand letters from its vendors that could lead to potential litigation.

The Company is currently working on how to resolve this issue.
Intellectual Property Rights
In 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated license agreement (the Rush License Agreement) with Rush University Medical Center (Rush University) pursuant to which Rush University granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license of certain patents and know-how related to its multipurpose vaginal pH modulator technology. For the U.S. patent that the Company licensed from Rush University, multiple Orders Granting Interim Extension (OGIEs) have been received from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), currently extending the expiration of this patent to March 2025. Pursuant to the Rush License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Rush University an earned royalty based upon a percentage of net sales in the range of mid-single digits until the expiration of this patent. In September 2020, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Rush License Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is also obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty amount of $0.1 million to the extent the earned royalties do not equal or exceed $0.1 million commencing January 1, 2021. Such royalty costs, included in cost of goods sold, were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

8. Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit
Warrants
In April and June 2020, pursuant to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, as discussed in Note 4 – Debt, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 2,732 shares of common stock in a private placement at an exercise price of $4,575 per share. The Second Baker Amendment provides that the exercise price of the Baker Warrants will equal the conversion price of the Baker Notes. The exercise price of the Baker warrants was $0.0154 per share as of June 30, 2024.
In May 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the May 2022 Public Offering) which included the issuance of common warrants to purchase 362,640 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $93.75 and the issuance of common warrants to purchase 205,360 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $93.63 (the May 2022 Common Stock Warrants). The May 2022 Common Stock Warrants were exercisable beginning on May 24, 2022 and have a five-year term. Due to features in the May 2022 Common Stock Warrants, including dilution adjustments requiring strike price resets, there are 894,194 May 2022 Common Stock Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024 at an exercise price of $0.0154.
In June 2022, as required by the Second Baker Amendment, the Company issued the June 2022 Baker Warrants to purchase up to 582,886 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The June 2022 Baker Warrants have an exercise price of $93.75 per share and a five-year term and were exercisable beginning June 28, 2022. The June 2022 Baker Warrants also contain customary 4.99% and 19.99% limitations on exercise provisions. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the June 2022 Baker Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain dilutive issuances, stock splits and similar recapitalization transactions. The exercise price of these warrants had reset to $0.0154 per share as of June 30, 2024.
In February, March, April, July, August, and September 2023, pursuant to the SSNs as discussed in Note 4 – Debt, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,152,122 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, up to 2,615,383 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share and up to 22,189,349 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.13 per share. The exercise price of these warrants reset to $0.0154 per share as of June 30, 2024.
On December 21, 2023, warrants to purchase up to 9,972,074 shares of the Company’s common stock were exchanged for 613 shares of the Company’s Series F-1 Shares.
As of June 30, 2024, warrants to purchase up to 20,807,539 shares of the Company’s common stock remain outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $2.42 per share. In accordance with ASC 815, certain warrants previously classified as equity instruments were determined to be liability classified (the Reclassified Warrants) due to the Company having an insufficient number of authorized shares as of December 31, 2022; however, the impacted warrants were reclassified back to as equity instruments during the second quarter of 2023 as a result of the May 2023 Reverse Stock Split. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company obtained waivers from a majority of the convertible instrument holders, removing the requirement for shares to be reserved for conversion of their instruments, which will prevent the instruments from needing to be liability classified due to an insufficient number of authorized shares going forward. The Company will continue to re-evaluate the classification of its warrants at the close of each reporting period to determine the proper balance sheet classification for them. These warrants are summarized below:

Preferred Stock
Effective December 15, 2021, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation, under which the Company is currently authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of total preferred stock, including the authorized convertible and redeemable preferred stock designated for Series B-1 and B-2, Series C, Series E-1, and Series F-1, and nonconvertible and redeemable preferred stock (Series D), par value $0.0001 per share.
Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock
On August 7, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (E-1 Certificate of Designation), par value $0.0001 per share (the Series E-1 Shares). An aggregate of 2,300 shares was authorized. The Series E-1 Shares are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share and are both a) counted toward quorum on the basis of and b) have voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series E-1 Shares are then convertible. The Series E-1 Shares are senior to all common stock with respect to preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon a dissolution event. In the event of a liquidation event, the Series E-1 Shares are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Black Scholes Value as of the liquidation event plus the greater of 125% of the conversion amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and the amount the holder of the Series E-1 Shares would receive if the shares were converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event. If the funds available for liquidation are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the holders of the Series E-1 Shares, each holder will receive a percentage payout. The Series E-1 Shares are entitled to dividends at a rate of 10% per annum or 12% upon a triggering event. Dividends are payable in shares of common stock and may, at the Company’s election, be capitalized and added to the principal monthly. The Series E-1 Shares also have a provision that allows them to be converted to common stock at a conversion rate equal to the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the E-1 Certificate of Designation) times the number of shares subject to conversion times the 25% redemption premium in the event of a Triggering Event (as defined in the E-1 Certificate of Designation) such as in a liquidation event. The Series E-1 Shares are mandatorily redeemable in the event of bankruptcy.
On August 7, 2023, certain investors party to the December 2022 Notes and the February 2023 Notes exchanged $1.8 million total in principal and accrued interest under the outstanding convertible promissory notes for 1,800 shares of Series E-1 Shares (the August 2023 Preferred Stock Transaction). Per the E-1 Certificate of Designation, the conversion rate can also be adjusted in several future circumstances, such as on certain dates after the exchange date and upon the issuance of additional convertible securities with a lower conversion rate or in the instance of a Triggering Event. As such, the conversion price as of June 30, 2024 was adjusted to $0.0154 per share. The Series E-1 Shares are classified as mezzanine equity within the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480 because of a fixed 25% redemption premium upon a Triggering Event and no mandatory redemption feature. During the year ended December 31, 2023, $1.8 million was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in-capital for the preferred shares in the condensed consolidated statement of convertible and redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit related to the August 2023 Preferred Stock Transaction. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an immaterial and $0.1 million deemed dividend was recorded as an increase to the number of Series E-1 Shares outstanding.
On December 11, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (F-1 Certificate of Designation), par value $0.0001 per share (the Series F-1 Shares). An aggregate of 95,000 shares was authorized. The Series F-1 Shares are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.0635 per share and do not have the right to vote on any matters presented to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Series F-1 Shares are senior to all common stock and subordinate to the Series E-1 Shares with respect to preferences as to distributions and payments upon a dissolution event. In the event of a liquidation event, the Series F-1 Shares are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the Black Scholes Value as of the liquidation event plus the greater of 125% of the conversion amount (as defined in the F-1 Certificate of Designation) and the amount the holder of the Series F-1 Shares would receive if the shares were converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event. If the funds available for liquidation are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the holders of the Series F-1 Shares, each holder will receive a percentage payout. The Series F-1 Shares are not entitled to dividends. The Series F-1 Shares also have a provision that allows them to be converted to common stock at a conversion rate equal to the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the F-1 Certificate of Designation) times the number of shares subject to conversion times the 25% redemption premium in the event of a Triggering Event (as defined in the F-1 Certificate of Designation) such as in a liquidation event. The Series F-1 Shares are mandatorily redeemable in the event of bankruptcy. In June 2024, the Required Holders, as defined in the F-1 Certificate of Designation, approved an amended and restated certificate of designation (the Amended F-1 Certificate of Designation) to the Company’s certificate of designation designating the rights, preferences and limitations of the Company’s Series F-1 Shares. The Amended F-1 Certificate of Designation provides for the removal of the conversion price adjustment provisions previously included and changed the conversion price to $0.0154.
On December 21, 2023, the Company issued a total of 22,280 Series F-1 Shares to certain investors, including 613 shares exchanged for warrants to purchase up to 9,972,074 shares of the Company’s common stock and 21,667 shares to exchange a partial value of the outstanding purchase rights. The holders of the Series F-1 Shares immediately exchanged their Series F-1 Shares into Aditxt’s Series A-1 preferred stock and, as a result, Aditxt currently holds all 22,280 outstanding Series F-1 Shares. The Series F-1 Shares are to be cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.
Nonconvertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock
On December 16, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock (the D Certificate of Designation), par value $0.0001 per share (the Series D Preferred Shares). An aggregate of 70 shares was authorized; these shares were not convertible into shares of common stock, had limited voting rights equal to 1% of the total voting power of the then-outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, were not entitled to dividends, and were required to be redeemed by the Company once its shareholders approved a reverse split, as described in the D Certificate of Designation. All 70 shares of the Series D Preferred were subsequently issued in connection with the December 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement as discussed in Note 4 – Debt. The Series D Preferred Shares were redeemed in July 2023.
Common Stock
Effective September 14, 2023, the Company further amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 3,000,000,000 shares.
Purchase Rights
On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into certain exchange agreements with the Adjuvant Purchasers and the May 2022 Notes Purchasers to exchange, upon request, the Purchase Rights for an aggregate of 942,080 shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of right shares for each Purchase Right was initially fixed at issuance, but subject to certain customary adjustments for certain dilutive Company equity issuances until the second anniversary of issuance. These Purchase Rights expire on June 28, 2027. Refer to Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for the accounting treatment of the Purchase Rights.
In 2023, the Company signed an additional agreement with the holders of the Purchase Rights which fixed the total aggregate value of the Purchase Rights at $24.7 million, to be paid in a variable number of shares based on the then current exercise price. On December 21, 2023, the Company issued 21,667 of the Series F-1 Shares in exchange for a partial value of certain purchase rights, as described above.
In connection with the SSNs issuances, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the number of outstanding Purchase Rights increased by 16,303,657 and 1,161,636,815, respectively and 15,218,227 and 24,966,856, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the reset of their exercise price. This was recorded as a loss on issuance of financial instruments in an immaterial amount in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for each period. The exercise price will be further adjusted if any other convertible instruments have price resets.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 24,350,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of certain Purchase Rights. As of June 30, 2024, Purchase Rights of 1,546,948,899 shares of the Company’s common stock remained outstanding.

In October 2022, the Board suspended future offering periods.
Restricted Stock Awards
There were no shares of performance-based RSAs granted to the Company’s executive management team in any period presented.
For performance-based RSAs, (i) the fair value of the award is determined on the grant date; (ii) the Company assesses the probability of achieving each individual milestone associated with the award using reasonable assumptions based on the Company’s operation performance towards each milestone; (iii) the fair value of the shares subject to the milestone is expensed over the implicit service period commencing once management believes the performance criteria is probable of being met; and (iv) the Company reassesses the probability of achieving each individual milestone at each reporting date, and any change in estimate is accounted for through a cumulative adjustment in the period when the change in estimate occurs. Non-performance based RSAs are valued at the fair value on the grant date and the associated expenses will be recognized over the vesting period.
As of June 30, 2024, there was no unrecognized noncash stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSAs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Evofem” or the “Company” refer collectively to Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. All information presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) is based on our fiscal year. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to our fiscal years ending December 31 and the associated quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis is set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are a San Diego-based commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company with a strong focus on innovation in women’s health. Our first commercial product, Phexxi, was approved by the FDA on May 22, 2020. Phexxi is the first and only non-hormonal prescription contraceptive gel. It is locally acting, with no systemic activity, and used on-demand by women only when they have sex. Because Phexxi is a non-hormonal contraceptive, it is not associated with side effects of exogenous hormone use like depression, weight gain, headaches, loss of libido, mood swings and irritability. Taking hormones may not be right for some women, especially those with certain medical conditions, including clotting disorders hormone-sensitive cancer, diabetes or a BMI over 30, or those who are breast feeding or smoke. More than 23.3 million women in the U.S. will not use a hormonal contraceptive.
Evofem has delivered Phexxi net sales growth in each consecutive year since it was launched in Sept 2020. Key growth drivers for 2024 include expanded use of Phexxi in women who take oral birth control pills in conjunction with GLP-1 prescription medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound for weight loss. These drugs may make oral birth control pills less effective at certain points in the dosing schedule. Per the USPI, prescribers are instructed to “advise patients using oral contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or add a barrier method” to prevent unintended pregnancy during these times.
Outside the U.S., Phexxi was approved in Nigeria on October 6, 2022, as Femidence™ by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control. To-date, Phexxi has been submitted for approval in Mexico, Ethiopia and Ghana. We intend to commercialize Phexxi in all other global markets through partnerships or licensing agreements and, as noted below, we are successfully executing this strategy.
We halted clinical development of our investigational product candidates in October 2022 to focus resources on growing sales of Phexxi for the prevention of pregnancy.
Recent Developments
On July 17, 2024, we licensed exclusive commercial rights to Phexxi in the Middle East to Pharma 1 Drug Store, an emerging Emirati health care company. The licensed territory includes the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and certain other countries in the region. Pharma 1 is responsible for obtaining and maintaining any regulatory approvals required to market and sell Phexxi, and will handle all aspects of distribution, sales and marketing, pharmacovigilance and all other commercial functions in these countries. Evofem will supply Phexxi to Pharma 1 at cost-plus. Pharma 1 is expected to file for regulatory approval of Phexxi in the UAE in the second half of 2024.
On July 14, 2024 we entered into the SOLOSEC Agreement to acquire global rights to SOLOSEC® (secnidazole) 2g oral granules. SOLOSEC is an FDA-approved single-dose oral antimicrobial agent that provides a complete course of therapy for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and trichomoniasis, two common sexual health infections. As consideration for the Asset Agreement the Company paid Lupin Inc. a one-time upfront payment and will make certain sales-based payments. Additionally, we assumed the OAA Liabilities, minus Seller OAA Contributions (all capitalized terms as defined in the Asset Agreement). This acquisition aligns with and advances our mission to improve access to innovative and differentiated options that impact women’s daily lives. We plan to re-launch SOLOSEC in the second half of 2024, leveraging our commercial infrastructure and strong physician relationships.
On May 28, 2024 the USPTO issued U.S. patent number 11,992,472 entitled, “Compositions and Methods for Enhancing the Efficacy of Contraceptive Microbicides.” This patent covers methods of contraception with a composition that encompasses Phexxi vaginal gel. The patent is Evofem’s fifth Orange Book-listed patent for Phexxi in the United States.
In June 2024, Evofem entered into a partnership with Hello Alpha, a telemedicine company with a medical team specifically trained for a woman’s unique needs, under which Hello Alpha offers Phexxi as a solution that complements GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. These medications can potentially reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills during specific intervals within the dosing cycle. To ensure continued pregnancy prevention, providers on HelloAlpha.com recommend switching to a non-oral birth control method or using an additional non-hormonal birth control method, like Phexxi, alongside oral contraceptives during these times.
In the second quarter of 2024, Evofem’s market access team secured multiple wins including a partnership with Modern Remedies, one of the top pharmacies dispensing Phexxi in the Northeast that took effect May 2024 and a contract with a leading group purchasing organization, among others.
On July 23, 2024, the Company consented to the transfer of ownership of the Company’s senior secured notes from Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, 667, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Baker Bros. Advisors, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, Baker). To the successor Future Pak, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (the Assignee).
The terms of the senior secured notes were not changed in connection with the assignment from Baker to the Assignee.

Phexxi as a Contraceptive; Commercial Strategies
In September 2020, we commercially launched Phexxi in the United States. Our sales force promotes Phexxi directly to obstetrician/gynecologists and their affiliated health professionals, who collectively write the majority of prescriptions for contraceptive products. Our sales force comprises approximately 16 regional sales representatives, two business directors and an SVP of Commercial Operations, supported by a self-guided virtual health care provider (HCP) learning platform. Additionally, we offer women direct access to Phexxi via a telehealth platform. Using this platform, women can directly meet with an HCP to determine their eligibility for a Phexxi prescription and, if eligible, have the prescription written by the HCP, filled, and mailed directly to them by a third-party pharmacy.
Our comprehensive commercial strategy for Phexxi includes marketing and product awareness campaigns targeting women of reproductive potential in the U.S., including the approximately 23.3 million women who are not using hormonal contraception and the approximately 20.0 million women who are using a prescription contraceptive, some of whom, particularly oral birth control pill users, may be ready to move to an FDA-approved, non-invasive, non-systemic hormone-free contraceptive, as well as certain identified target HCP segments. In addition to marketing and product awareness campaigns, our commercial strategy includes payer outreach and execution of our consumer digital and media strategy.
Key growth drivers for 2024 include expanded use of Phexxi in women who take oral birth control pills in conjunction with GLP-1 prescription medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound for weight loss. These drugs may make oral birth control pills less effective at certain points in the dosing schedule. Per the USPI, prescribers are instructed to “advise patients using oral contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or add a barrier method” to prevent unintended pregnancy during these times.
We continue working to increase the number of lives covered and to gain a preferred formulary position for Phexxi. We gained approximately 17.7 million unrestricted lives (people whose plans cover Phexxi with no PA required) in the past two years, a 5% increase in unrestricted coverage for Phexxi from January 2022 (47%) to November 2023 (53%).
Payer wins in 2024 to-date include:
| - | Removal of the Prior Authorization requirement for Phexxi by the Washington State Health Care Authority effective January 1, 2024; |
| | |
| - | Effective July 1, 2024, the rebate paid by the Company to Medi-Cal on Phexxi prescriptions dispensed to Medi-Cal members was reduced by 7.4% as a result of the Company’s successful renegotiation. |
In the second quarter of 2022, we successfully negotiated a contract with one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in the nation, which added Phexxi to its formulary with no restrictions for most women covered by the plan. The agreement was retroactive and took effect January 1, 2022 and is representative of approximately 46 million lives.
An additional 13.7 million lives are covered under our December 2020 contract award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
We also participate in government programs, including the 340B and the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. As a result of our participation in the Medicaid National Drug Rebate Program, the U.S. Medicaid population gained access to Phexxi on January 1, 2021. As of August 2023, Medicaid provides health coverage to approximately 90 million members; an estimated 15.6 million of these are women 19-44 years of age. Additionally, we recently began participating in a 340B Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) that serves safety-net clinics throughout the US. This GPO has over 6,500 members, which expands our reach among safety-net providers.
Approximately 83% of commercial and Medicaid Phexxi prescriptions are being approved by payers.
Phexxi is classified in the databases and pricing compendia of Medi-Span and First Databank, two major drug information databases that payers can consult for pricing and product information, as the first and only “Vaginal pH Modulator.”
Effective as of January 1, 2023, most insurers and PBMs must provide coverage, with no out-of-pocket costs (e.g. $0 copay) to the subscriber or dependent, for FDA-approved contraceptive products, like Phexxi, prescribed by healthcare providers.
As a result, to comply with these Guidelines, payers are increasingly covering Phexxi by:
| – | Adding Phexxi to formulary (commercial insurers) or preferred drug list (Medicaid) |
| – | Removing the requirement for a Prior Authorization letter from the HCP (commercial insurers) |
| – | Moving Phexxi to $0 copay (commercial insurers) |
In 2022, Evofem developed and introduced a new contraceptive educational chart for patients and HCPs that details high-level information about birth control methods currently available to women in the U.S., including the vaginal pH modulator. This new contraceptive educational tool has been extremely well received and has had a positive impact with HCPs and patients alike.
Our Pipeline
Evofem’s pipeline includes multiple candidates that are designed to address critical unmet needs in women’s health. The Company halted all clinical development in October 2022 due to financial constraints.
EVO100 for STI Prevention
EVO100 vaginal gel was in development for the prevention of urogenital chlamydia and gonorrhea in women. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are among the many bacterial and viral pathogens that require a higher pH environment to thrive. The CDC reported that infections with these two sexually transmitted pathogens cost the U.S. healthcare system $1 billion, in aggregate direct and indirect costs. There are no FDA-approved drugs to prevent these sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). The FDA granted EVO100 Fast Track Designation for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and designated EVO100 a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the prevention of infection these pathogens.
The Phase 2B/3 trial (AMPREVENCE) achieved its primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in chlamydia and gonorrhea infections of 50% and 78%, respectively, in women receiving EVO100 vs. placebo. Based on these highly positive clinical outcomes we initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial (EVOGUARD) to evaluate EVO100 for these potential indications in 2020. On October 11, 2022, we reported that EVOGUARD did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint. We and our advisors believe the public health response to the COVID pandemic caused changes in clinical site operations and subject behavior and actions, including deviations from following the clinical study protocol requirements related to STI acquisition, detection, and prevention, which contributed to this outcome.
EVO200 Vaginal Gel for Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis
Our investigational candidate for the reduction of recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV), EVO200 vaginal gel, uses the same proprietary vaginal pH modulator platform as Phexxi. In a Phase 1 dose-finding trial for this indication, the highest dose formulation of the study drug demonstrated reduced vaginal pH for up to seven days following a single administration. The FDA has designed EVO200 as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for this indication, which provides several important potential advantages including, but not limited to, longer market exclusivity.
MPT Vaginal Gel for HIV Prevention
In December 2021, we launched a collaboration with Orion Biotechnology Canada Ltd. (Orion) to evaluate the compatibility and stability of Orion’s novel CCR5 antagonist, OB-002, in Phexxi with the goal of developing a Multipurpose Prevention Technology (MPT) product candidate for indications including the prevention of HIV in women. Assuming positive preclinical results, Evofem and Orion may seek government and philanthropic funding for subsequent clinical trials of any resulting MPT vaginal gel product candidate.
Thin Film Project
In February 2020, we contracted with the University of South Australia to develop a vaginally applied thin film as a second-generation vaginal pH modulator product. The lead thin film candidates have been selected, and stability data has been generated with positive results. Next steps are to optimize the lead candidates and identify funding to proceed.
Financial Operations Overview
Net Product Sales
We recognize revenue once units shipped from our third-party logistics warehouse arrive at our customers, which consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, telehealth companies, and mail-order specialty pharmacies. We have recognized net product sales in the U.S. since the commercial launch of Phexxi in September 2020. Gross revenues, as discussed in Note 3 - Revenue, are adjusted for variable consideration, including our patient support programs.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Goods Sold
Inventory costs include all purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. In addition, we are obligated to pay quarterly royalty payments pursuant to our license agreement with Rush University, in amounts equal to a single-digit percentage of the gross amounts we receive on a quarterly basis, less certain deductions incurred in the quarter based on a sliding scale. We are also obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty amount of $0.1 million to the extent these earned royalties do not equal or exceed $0.1 million in a given year. Such royalty costs, included in cost of goods sold, were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with the continuous improvements related to Phexxi. These expenses include:
| ● | improvements of manufacturing and analytical efficiency; |
| ● | on-going product characterization and process optimization; |
| ● | alternative raw material evaluation to secure an uninterrupted supply chain and reduce cost of goods sold; |
| ● | employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and noncash stock-based compensation expense; and |
| ● | facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment, and research and other supplies. |
We expense internal and third-party research and development expenses as incurred. The following table summarizes research and development expenses by product candidate (in thousands):

Total research and development expenses | | $ | 270 | | | $ | 402 | | | $ | 864 | | | $ | 942 | |
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of product commercialization costs, the Phexxi telehealth platform, training, salaries, benefits, travel, noncash stock-based compensation expense and other related costs for our employees and consultants.
In connection with our overall cost reduction strategy, our selling and marketing expenses decreased significantly in 2023 and are expected to stabilize near 2023 levels in the current year, with a slight increase possible due to the expenses associated with SOLOSEC.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, travel, business development expenses, investor and public relations expenses, noncash stock-based compensation, and other related costs for our employees and consultants performing executive, administrative, finance, legal and human resource functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development or selling and marketing, and professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining and maintaining our patent portfolio.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and the change in fair value of financial instruments issued in various capital raise transactions. The change in fair value of financial instruments was recognized as a result of mark-to-market adjustments for those financial instruments. Additionally, other income (expense) also includes a gain on debt modification or extinguishment in the current period and loss on issuance of financial instruments in each of the presented periods.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands):
Net Product Sales

Product sales, net | | $ | 4,160 | | | $ | 2,458 | | | $ | 1,702 | | | | 69 | % |
The lower product sales, net in the prior year quarter, was primarily impacted by the unusual volume of product returns of $1.6 million, which was not repeated in the current year. Additionally, unit sales were up nearly 8% in the current year compared to the prior year quarter.
Cost of Goods Sold
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of goods sold | | $ | 769 | | | $ | 2,293 | | | $ | (1,524 | ) | | | (66 | )% |
The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to a $1.1 million inventory excess and obsolescence reserve recorded in the prior year quarter. Additionally, the units sold in the 2023 quarter had been re-packaged to reflect the extended shelf life approved by the FDA in June 2022; this added costs to re-worked units that were sold in the prior year, whereas the units sold in the current year did not need to be re-packaged.
Research and Development Expenses
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Research and development | | $ | 270 | | | $ | 402 | | | $ | (132 | ) | | | (33 | )% |
The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in personnel costs and a decrease of $0.1 million in facilities costs, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in outside services.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Selling and marketing | | $ | 2,243 | | | $ | 2,197 | | | $ | 46 | | | | 2 | % |
The immaterial decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in facilities costs partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.2 million in business development and outside services, some of which were attributable to the accounts payable settlements reached in the prior year quarter that were not repeated in the current year.
General and Administrative Expenses
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |

Total other income (expense), net | | $ | 2,748 | | | $ | (1,219 | ) | | $ | 3,967 | | | | (325 | )% |
Total other income (expense), net, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily included a $3.3 million gain on the change in fair value of financial instruments, partially offset by $0.5 million in interest expense related to the Adjuvant Note.
Total other income (expense), net, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily included $0.6 million of interest expense related to the Adjuvant Note and $0.3 million related to overdue payables.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands):
Net Product Sales
| | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Product sales, net | | $ | 7,763 | | | $ | 8,267 | | | $ | (504 | ) | | | (6 | )% |
The decrease in product sales, net, was primarily due to the impact of the timing of price increases on sales volumes to our customers. Wholesalers typically purchase larger volumes of product ahead of a price increase, pause purchasing until that product has been used to fill consumer demand, then resume purchasing again. Sales volume in the first quarter of 2024 was low due to the January 2024 price increase, where sales volume in the first quarter of 2023 was high, after a very small fourth quarter of 2022 due to the October 2022 price increase. As discussed above, product sales, net, was higher in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, which caused the year-to-date sales for the current period to be more in line with the prior year.
Cost of Goods Sold
| | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |

Cost of goods sold | | $ | 1,453 | | | $ | 3,669 | | | $ | (2,216 | ) | | | (60 | )% |
The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the 6% decrease in sales in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, the units sold in the first half of 2023 had been re-packaged to reflect the extended shelf life approved by the FDA in June 2022; this added costs to re-worked units that were sold in the prior year, whereas the units sold in the current year did not need to be re-packaged. Finally, there was a $1.1 million inventory excess and obsolescence reserve recorded in the prior year that was not repeated in the current year.

Selling and marketing | | $ | 4,588 | | | $ | 6,051 | | | $ | (1,463 | ) | | | (24 | )% |
The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in marketing and DTC promotion costs, including media agency fees, a $0.8 million decrease in personnel costs due to reduced headcount and lower noncash stock-based compensation, and a $0.4 million decrease in facilities costs and outside services costs.
General and Administrative Expenses

Total other income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily included a $4.1 million gain on the change in fair value of financial instruments and a gain of $1.1 million related to the Baker Notes extinguishment. The gains were offset by a $3.3 million loss on the issuance of financial instruments related to the anti-dilution adjustment for the purchase rights and $1.1 million interest expense related to the Adjuvant Note.
Total other income, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily included a gain of approximately $1.5 million related to the change in fair value of financial instruments partially offset by $1.1 million of interest expense related to the Adjuvant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $66.0 million and an accumulated deficit of $892.3 million. We have financed our operations to date primarily through the issuance of preferred stock, common stock, warrants and convertible and term notes; cash received from private placement transactions; and, to a lesser extent, product sales. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $0.7 million in cash and cash equivalents comprised entirely of restricted cash available for use as prescribed in the Adjuvant Notes (as defined in Note 4 - Debt). Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash include amounts held in checking accounts. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 are insufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the date on which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. In 2023, we focused on further improving and increasing Phexxi access and delivered our third consecutive year of Phexxi net sales growth. We have restructured many of our trade payables with extended terms and implemented measures to better align our cost structure with projected revenues. In 2024, we will continue to focus on top-line growth and while maintaining a lean operating structure. We will continue to explore opportunities for organic growth, entry into new markets, and expansion of our product offering beyond Phexxi.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s significant commitments include the Baker Notes and Adjuvant Notes, as described in Note 4 - Debt and fleet leases and the Rush University royalty, as described in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies. Management’s plans to meet the Company’s cash flow needs in the next 12 months include generating revenue from the sale of Phexxi and additional products, further restructuring of its current payables, and obtaining additional funding through means such as the issuance of its capital stock, non-dilutive financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies, including license agreements for Phexxi in the U.S. or foreign markets, or other potential business combinations (including the Merger, as defined in Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation).
If the Company is not able to obtain the required funding through a significant increase in revenue, equity or debt financings, license agreements for Phexxi in the U.S. or foreign markets, or other means, or is unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to the Company, there will be a material adverse effect on commercialization and development operations and the Company’s ability to execute its strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional funding and implement its strategic development plan, the Company may be forced to make further reductions in spending, including spending in connection with its commercialization activities, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible at a potentially lower amount than as recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, suspend or curtail planned operations, or cease operations entirely. Any of these could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and business prospects, and the Company would not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company has concluded that these circumstances and the uncertainties associated with the Company’s ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, or at all, and otherwise succeed in its future operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and, in doing so, we may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Any of these developments would materially and adversely affect the price of our stock and the value of an investment in our stock. As a result, our condensed consolidated financial statements include explanatory disclosures expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firms on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue our operations.
Debt Financings
As described in Note 4 - Debt, we entered into an insurance premium financing agreement with FIF, which resulted in a financing inflow of $0.4 million in the Statement of Cash Flows in the first half of 2024. Additionally, we received gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 million, before issuance costs, from the sale of notes and warrants in four registered direct offerings in the first half of 2023.
Summary Statement of Cash Flows
The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash flow activity for each of the periods set forth below (in thousands):
| | Six Months Ended June 30, | | | 2024 vs. 2023 | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | $ Change | | | % Change | |
Net cash and restricted cash used in operating activities | | $ | (1,018 | ) | | $ | (6,434 | ) | | $ | 5,416 | | | | (84 | )% |
Net cash and restricted cash used in investing activities | | | (14 | ) | | | (4 | ) | | | (10 | ) | | | 250 | % |
Net cash and restricted provided by financing activities | | | 1,144 | | | | 2,298 | | | | (1,154 | ) | | | (50 | )% |
Net change in cash and restricted cash | | $ | 112 | | | $ | (4,140 | ) | | $ | 4,252 | | | | (103 | )% |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the net cash and restricted cash used in operating activities was minimal due to the limited spending in operations across all functions of the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the primary use of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was to fund the commercialization and manufacturing of Phexxi and to support general and administrative operations.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the primary use of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was the purchase of computer equipment for the sales force.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the primary source of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was from the $1.0 million received from Aditxt in order to reinstate the Merger Agreement as described above as well as the finance agreement with First Insurance Funding for $0.4 million, offset by $0.3 million payments under the Baker Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the primary source of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was the sale of senior subordinate convertible notes and warrants for proceeds of approximately $2.1 million, in aggregate, before debt issuance costs.
Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our specific future operating and capital expense requirements are difficult to forecast. However, we can anticipate the general types of expenses and areas in which they might occur. In 2024, while we expect to maintain a lean operating structure at approximately the same level as 2023, should resources become available we may increase marketing spend to drive further sales growth.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Operating Leases
Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were $0.1 million each on both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See Note 7- Commitments and Contingencies for more detailed discussions on leases and financial statements information under ASC 842, Leases.
Other Contractual Commitments
As described in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies, in November 2019, the Company entered into a supply and manufacturing agreement with a third-party to manufacture Phexxi, with potential to manufacture other product candidates, in accordance with all applicable current good manufacturing practice regulations. There were approximately $0.3 million in purchases under the supply and manufacturing agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and no such purchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Intellectual Property Rights
As described in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies, royalty costs owed to Rush University pursuant to the Rush License Agreement were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million were included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be paid via the agreed upon payment plan.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
Notwithstanding the conclusion by our CEO and CFO that our Disclosure Controls as of June 30, 2024 were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described more fully under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the date presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Remediation Activities:
Management continues to evaluate the material weaknesses discussed above and is implementing its remediation plan. However, assurance as to when the remediation efforts will be complete cannot be provided and the material weaknesses cannot be considered remedied until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Management cannot assure readers that the measures that have been taken to date, and are continuing to be implemented, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses identified or to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for ongoing remediation activities, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Refer to Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for any required disclosure.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” before deciding whether to purchase, hold or sell shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below. See the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” The risk factors set forth below with an asterisk (*) next to the title contain changes to the description of the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We will need to raise significant additional funds to finance our operations, including the commercialization of Phexxi and SOLOSEC, and to remain a going concern. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce and/or eliminate one or more of our business initiatives or to cease our operations entirely.*
We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows since our inception. We believe our existing capital resources as of the filing of this Quarterly Report are sufficient to fund our planned operations into the second half of 2024. Our ability to raise additional funds will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully commercialize Phexxi and SOLOSEC (collectively our Products) in the US. If, for whatever reason, we are unsuccessful in these efforts, it may make any necessary debt, equity or alternative financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Attempting to secure additional financing will divert our management from our day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to commercialize Products. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Furthermore, the global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions in recent history, particularly for life science companies. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue commercializing Phexxi as a contraceptive or to begin commercializing SOLOSEC as a treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV) or trichomoniasis. In addition, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our business initiatives or be forced to cease operations entirely. To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, convertible debt or other securities convertible into equity, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Future debt financings, if available at all, would likely involve agreements with additional covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, making additional product acquisitions, or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through strategic collaborations (including, but not limited to closing the Merger Agreement with Aditxt), alternative non-dilutive financing, such as royalty-based financing, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to Phexxi, SOLOSEC, or future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
Women’s health has historically been an underfunded sector. Recently, a number of public companies focused in women’s health have failed to achieve expected commercial success and struggled to access sufficient capital. We are solely focused in women’s health and may be unfavorably impacted by weak investor sentiment and a lack of interest in the category. Our ability to access capital and to advance our candidates could be adversely impacted.*
We are solely focused in women’s health, and primarily in the areas of contraception, vaginal health, reproductive health, and sexual health. The sector has historically been underfunded, with only about one percent of healthcare research and innovation in the U.S. invested in female-specific conditions beyond oncology according to market research. The failure of the women’s health sector to receive consistent and committed investment fuels investor sentiment that market opportunities for new products in women’s health are limited. Our stock price and our ability to access additional capital on acceptable terms when needed may be adversely impacted by unfavorable investor perception of market opportunities for women’s health products, and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could suffer.
We face competition from other medical device, biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies and our operating results will suffer if we are unable to compete effectively.*
The medical device, biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries, and the women’s health sector, are intensely competitive. Significant competition among various contraceptive products already exists. Existing products have name recognition, are marketed by companies with established commercial infrastructures, and are marketed with greater financial, technical and personnel resources than we have. To compete and gain market share, any new product must demonstrate advantages in efficacy, convenience, tolerability, and/or safety, among other things. In addition, new products developed by others could emerge as competitors to Phexxi. These products could potentially offer an alternative form of non-hormonal contraception that is more convenient, is more effective and/or provides protection over longer periods of time as compared to Phexxi. We also compete with these organizations to recruit management, and sales and marketing personnel. Any failure to attract and retain such personnel could negatively affect our level of expertise and our ability to execute our business plan. We also face competition in connection with identifying and engaging in strategic transactions. If we are not able to compete effectively against our current and future competitors, our business will not grow and our financial condition and operations will suffer.
With respect to SOLOSEC, there are many FDA-approved products for treating bacterial vaginosis, and many are generic. SOLOSEC will compete with those products. Current therapies for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis primarily consist of oral and vaginal formulations of antibiotics delivered as a single dose or through multiple doses over consecutive days. If health care providers do not view the prescribing information for SOLOSEC as compelling compared with other products available for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, or if competitive products have better insurance coverage or reimbursement levels than SOLOSEC, health care providers may opt to continue to prescribe existing treatments rather than recommend or prescribe SOLOSEC to their patients.
Our potential competitors include large, well-established pharmaceutical companies and specialty pharmaceutical companies who have significantly more resources than Evofem. These companies include Merck & Co., Inc., Allergan PLC, Pfizer Inc., Bayer AG, Johnson & Johnson, CooperSurgical Inc. and Mylan Inc. Additionally, several generic manufacturers currently market and continue to introduce new generic contraceptives.
Phexxi, SOLOSEC, and any other approved products we promote may not gain sufficient market acceptance among physicians, patients or the medical community, thereby limiting our potential to generate revenue, which will undermine our future growth prospects.*
Even though Phexxi has been approved by the FDA for commercial sale for the prevention of pregnancy, and SOLOSEC has been approved by the FDA for commercial sale for the prevention of BV and trichomoniasis, the degree of market acceptance of any new product by physicians, patients and the medical community will depend on a number of factors, including:
| ● | demonstrated evidence of efficacy and safety and potential advantages compared to competing products; |
| ● | perceptions by the medical community, physicians, and patients, regarding the safety and effectiveness of the product and the willingness of the target patient population to try it and of physicians to prescribe it; |
| ● | relative convenience and ease of administration compared to other products approved for the same indication; |
| ● | the regulatory label requirements for the product, including any potential restrictions on use or precautionary statements; |
| ● | sufficient third-party insurance coverage and adequate reimbursement; |
| | |
| ● | the terms of any approvals, such as any restrictions on the use of our product together with other medications; |
| ● | the willingness of wholesalers and pharmacies to stock the products; |
| ● | the prevalence and severity of any adverse side effects; |
| ● | the ability to sufficiently educate physicians with respect to the product’s safety and efficacy; and |
| ● | availability of alternative products and the cost-effectiveness of our product relative to competing products. |
If any approved product that we may license, acquire or sell, including Phexxi, does not provide a benefit over currently available options, that product is unlikely to achieve market acceptance, and we will not generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability.

The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions applicable to the F-1 Preferred Stock are set forth in the F-1 Preferred Stock certificate of designation, as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) in that Current Report on Form 8-K dated on December 12, 2023.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and Aditxt.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) with Aditxt, which provides that the Company will register the resale the shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of the F-1 Preferred Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Commission no later than the 300th calendar day following the signing date for the Purchase Agreement and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Commission within 90 days of the filing of such registration statement, subject to certain exceptions and specified penalties if timely effectiveness is not achieved.
The Company has also agreed to, among other things, indemnify Aditxt, its officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, investment advisers and employees of each of them under the registration statement from certain liabilities and pay all fees and expenses (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions) incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
The securities to be issued and sold to Aditxt under the Purchase Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or under any state securities laws. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Purchasers. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Quarterly Report on form 10-Q, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the form of Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this form 10-Q.
