Fair Value Measurements and Marketable Securities | 3. Fair value measurements and marketable securities Fair value measurements The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and indicate hierarchy of valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements as of Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 7,285 $ — $ — $ 7,285 Total cash equivalents $ 7,285 $ — $ — $ 7,285 Marketable securities U.S. government securities $ — $ 17,462 $ — $ 17,462 U.S. treasuries — 18,726 — 18,726 Corporate bonds — 15,340 — 15,340 Commercial paper — 50,416 — 50,416 Total marketable securities $ — $ 101,944 $ — $ 101,944 Total Assets $ 7,285 $ 101,944 $ — $ 109,229 Liabilities PIPE Warrant liability $ — $ — $ 21,068 $ 21,068 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 21,068 $ 21,068 Fair Value Measurements as of Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 1,239 $ — $ — $ 1,239 U.S. treasuries — 6,600 — 6,600 U.S. government securities — 5,200 — 5,200 Commercial paper — 14,122 — 14,122 Total cash equivalents $ 1,239 $ 25,922 $ — $ 27,161 Marketable securities U.S. government securities $ — $ 1,984 $ — $ 1,984 Corporate bonds — 25,475 — 25,475 Commercial paper — 47,867 — 47,867 Total marketable securities $ — $ 75,326 $ — $ 75,326 Total Assets $ 1,239 $ 101,248 $ — $ 102,487 The Company classifies its money market funds as Level 1 assets since it measures fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Level 2 assets include commercial paper, U.S. government securities, U.S. treasuries, and corporate bonds and are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are derived from observable market data. The Company evaluates transfers between levels at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during the periods presented. The PIPE Warrants (as defined in Note 12) and PIPE Units (as defined in Note 12) associated with the 2023 Private Placement did not meet the criteria for equity classification, and are therefore accounted for as liabilities at fair value. Refer to Note 12 for the accounting analysis of the PIPE Warrants and PIPE Units. The fair values of the PIPE Warrants and PIPE Units are based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the PIPE Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was then adjusted by the weighted probability of the timing of the anticipated achievement of FDA marketing approval of OTL-200 in the United States and further adjusted by the probability of the occurrence of achievement of FDA marketing approval for the sale of OTL-200 in the United States. The fair value of the PIPE Units prior to the second closing of the 2023 Private Placement was estimated as the residual of the fair value of the share and warrant units to be sold in the second closing minus the second closing sales price of the share and warrant units to be sold. To calculate the fair value of the shares to be sold in the second closing, the Company utilized the stock price of its ADSs as of the valuation date and discounted it using a discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") relating to the unregistered status of the shares. The second closing was completed in June 2023, upon which, the Company recorded a final fair value adjustment in the statement of operations and derecognized the value ascribed to the PIPE Units instrument on the balance sheet. The fair value of the PIPE Units at the time of the second closing was calculated by estimating the fair value of the PIPE Warrants and the unregistered shares issued in the second closing. To calculate the fair value of the shares issued in the second closing, the Company utilized the stock price of its ADSs as of the valuation date and discounted it using a DLOM relating to the unregistered status of the shares.

The Company evaluated its securities for potential impairment and considered the decline in market value to be primarily attributable to current economic and market conditions. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and does not expect it will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the unamortized cost basis. Given the Company's intent and ability to hold such securities until recovery, and the lack of a significant change in credit risk for these investments, the Company does not consider these investments to be impaired as of September 30, 2023. There were no realized gains or losses recognized on investments in the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes the Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities by contractual maturity, as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 (in thousands): September 30, December 31, Maturities in one year or less $ 97,086 $ 98,277 Maturities between one and three years 4,858 2,971 Total $ 101,944 $ 101,248 |
