Consolidated entities
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the consolidated group of companies (sometimes referred to as the “Group”) includes Cellectis S.A., Cellectis, Inc., Cellectis Biologics, Inc. and Calyxt.
As of June 30, 2022, Cellectis S.A. owns 100% of Cellectis, Inc., which owns 100% of Cellectis Biologics, Inc., and approximately 51.3% of Calyxt’s outstanding shares of common stock.
On September 21, 2021, Calyxt entered into an At-the-Market Program (“ATM Program”). Under the terms of the ATM Program, Calyxt may, from time-to-time, issue common stock having an aggregate offering value of up to $50.0 million. At its discretion, Calyxt determines the timing and number of shares to be issued under the ATM Program. Based on Calyxt’s public float, as of the date of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Calyxt is only permitted to utilize a “shelf” registration statement, including the registration statement under which the ATM Program is operated, subject to Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3, which is referred to as the “baby shelf” rules. For so long as Calyxt’s public float is less than $75,000,000, it may not sell more than the equivalent of one-third of its public float during any twelve consecutive months pursuant to the baby shelf rules. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had issued approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock under the ATM Program. Calyxt’s balance of cash and cash equivalents includes $3.9 million of net proceeds from those sales, and another $0.2 million of cash was received in early January 2022 following the settlement of those sales with the broker. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, Calyxt did not issue any shares of common stock under the ATM Program.
On February 23, 2022, Calyxt completed the placement to an institutional investor in an SEC-registered underwritten offering of (i) 3,880,000 shares of Calyxt common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,880,000 shares of its common stock, and (iii) common warrants to purchase up to 7,760,000 shares of its common stock (the “Offering”). The shares of common stock and the pre-funded warrants were each sold in combination with corresponding common warrants, with one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock for each share of common stock or each pre-funded warrant sold. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable for an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Calyxt common stock and the common warrants are exercisable for an exercise price of $1.41 per share of Calyxt common stock. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until exercised, while the common warrants will be exercisable six months after the date of issuance and expire on August 23, 2027. The aggregate offering price for each share of common stock and an accompanying common warrant was $1.41. The aggregate offering price for each pre-funded warrant and an accompanying common warrant was $1.4099.
On May 5, 2022, all of Calyxt’s outstanding pre-funded warrants were exercised by their holder. Based on Calyxt’s 46,648,163 shares of outstanding common stock as of May 4, 2022, Cellectis S.A.’s ownership of Calyxt’s outstanding common stock as of May 5, 2022 was 51.4% (51,3% as of June 30, 2022). If all remaining common warrants were fully exercised, Cellectis S.A.’s ownership of Calyxt’s outstanding common stock would be reduced to 43.9%.
On May 17, 2022, Calyxt, Inc. received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that Calyxt is not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Requirement”), because the closing bid price of Calyxt’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. At Calyxt’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 1, 2022, Calyxt got an approval from its stockholders of an amendment to its amended and restated certificate
