In February 2020, we issued 15,693,109 Series A redeemable convertible preferred shares at a price of $1.147 per share for gross cash proceeds of $18.0 million. At this closing, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the JDRF Note automatically converted at a price of $2.294 per share into 948,225 Series A prime redeemable convertible preferred shares. In March 2020, we completed an $80.0 million Series B financing comprised of an initial closing and issuance of 19,158,922 Series B redeemable convertible preferred shares at $2.0878 per share to new and existing investors for gross cash proceeds of $40.0 million and incurred issuance costs of $271,000. In connection with the initial issuance of the Series B redeemable convertible preferred shares, the holders received the right to purchase, and we were under the obligation to sell, an additional 19,158,922 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred shares upon achieving a certain clinical development milestone, or the Tranche Right. We determined that the Tranche Right did not meet the definition of a freestanding financial instrument because it is not legally detachable. Further, we determined that the Tranche Right does not meet the definition of an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation from the equity instrument. Therefore, at the initial issuance of the Series B redeemable convertible preferred shares, there was no accounting for the Tranche Right. In June 2020, we issued 19,158,922 Series B redeemable convertible preferred shares at $2.0878 per share in a second closing of our Series B financing to existing investors for gross cash proceeds of $40.0 million and issued 957,946 Series B redeemable convertible preferred shares to JDRF per the terms of the JDRF Note for gross cash proceeds of $2.0 million. Simple Agreement for Future Equity In June 2020, we entered into a simple agreement for future equity, or SAFE, with a related party, pursuant to which we received $6.0 million in cash in exchange for the providing the investor the right to receive shares of our capital stock. The SAFE contained a number of conversion and redemption provisions, including settlement upon liquidity or dissolution events. We elected the fair value option of accounting for the SAFE. Upon consummation of our initial public offering in July 2020, the SAFE was converted, by its terms, into 333,333 shares of our common stock |
