Nature of the Business | 1. Nature of the business Gemini Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gemini”) is a clinical-stage precision medicine company developing novel therapeutic compounds to treat genetically defined, age-related macular degeneration. The Company was founded on March 3, 2015. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to “Gemini”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” and any related terms are intended to mean Gemini Therapeutics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary following the Business Combination (as defined below). Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts and financial resources to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, discovering product candidates and securing related intellectual property rights and conducting research and development activities for its product candidates. In January 2022, the Company discontinued both of its Phase 2a clinical trials for GEM103. The Company's other product candidate, GEM307, is in the preclinical stage of development. In February 2022, the Company announced a corporate restructuring and that it initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives. After a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, including identifying and reviewing potential candidates for a strategic transaction, on August 9, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Disc Merger Agreement”) with Disc Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Disc”), and Gemstone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Gem Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, Gem Merger Sub will merge with and into Disc (the “Disc Merger”), with Disc continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Disc Merger, the Company will distribute to the pre-closing Gemini stockholders contingent value rights (“CVRs”), representing the contractual right to receive payments from the post-closing combined company upon receipt of certain proceeds derived from consideration paid as a result of the disposition of the Company’s pre-Disc Merger assets, net of certain permitted deductions for expenses. The Disc Merger was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), and the Board resolved to recommend approval of the Disc Merger Agreement to the Company’s shareholders. The closing of the Disc Merger is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company and Disc as well as other customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement filed on Form S-4 with the SEC in connection with the transaction. If the merger is completed, the business of Disc will continue as the business of the combined company. For additional information regarding such transaction, please refer to Note 2, Merger Agreement , to these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the success of the Disc Merger and there can be no assurances that the Disc Merger will be successfully consummated. In the event that the Company does not complete the transaction with Disc, the Company may explore strategic alternatives, including, without limitation, another strategic transaction and/or pursue a dissolution and liquidation of the Company. On February 5, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FS Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FSDC”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 15, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Gemini Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Gemini”), Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Company Securityholders (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), FSDC and FSG Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”). FSDC was incorporated in Delaware on June 25, 2020 and was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On the day prior to the Closing Date, Old Gemini changed its name to “Gemini Therapeutics Sub, Inc.” Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) FSDC changed its name to “Gemini Therapeutics, Inc.” and (ii) Old Gemini merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Old Gemini as the surviving company in the Merger and, after giving effect to such Merger, Old Gemini becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gemini. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the existing shareholders of Old Gemini exchanged their interests for shares of common stock of Gemini. In connection with the Business Combination, certain investors purchased an aggregate of $ 95.1 million of the Company’s Common Stock in a private placement of public equity (the “PIPE Financing”). Together with FSDC’s cash resources and funding of the PIPE Financing, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 195.9 million. For additional information on the Business Combination, please refer to Note 3, Business Combination , to these condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to risks related to the Company’s ability to consummate the Disc Merger, and until the consummation of the Disc Merger, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, uncertainty of product development and commercialization, lack of marketing and sales history, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, market acceptance of products, product liability, protection of proprietary technology, ability to raise additional financing, compliance with government regulations and the impact of the ongoing and evolving novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic. If the Company does not successfully commercialize any of its product candidates, it will be unable to generate recurring product revenue or achieve profitability. The Company’s product candidates will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants, third-party contract research organizations and other third-party organizations. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company primarily financed its operations through the sale of convertible preferred stock, borrowings under convertible promissory notes and borrowings under loan agreements. The Company believes that its $ 101.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 will enable it to fund its planned operations for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, though the Company may raise additional capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. Management’s expectations with respect to its ability to fund current planned operations is based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to management, and there can be no assurance that the current operating plan will be achieved in the time frame anticipated by the Company, and it may need to seek additional funds sooner than anticipated. Furthermore, the operating plan could materially change depending on the outcome of our ongoing strategic alternative review process, including if the Disc Merger is not successfully consummated on a timely basis or at all. In the event that the Company does not complete the transaction with Disc, if adequate funds are not available to the Company on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all, management may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate certain of its research, product development or future commercialization efforts, obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators on terms unfavorable to the Company, or pursue merger or acquisition strategies, all of which could adversely affect the holdings or the rights of its stockholders. Macroeconomic Conditions The Company is currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability, including in Europe, and record inflation. The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from these global economic conditions, particularly if such conditions are prolonged or worsen. Economic uncertainty in various global markets, including the U.S. and Europe, caused by political instability and conflict and economic challenges caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have led to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital market instability and supply chain interruptions, which have caused record inflation globally. The Company has not incurred impairment losses in the carrying values of its assets as a result of these macroeconomic conditions and it is not aware of any specific related event or circumstance that would require it to revise its estimates reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Although, to date, the Company's business has not been materially impacted by these global economic and geopolitical conditions, it is impossible to predict the extent to which the Company's operations will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which such instability could impact the Company's business and results of operations. The extent and duration of these market disruptions, whether as a result of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, record inflation or otherwise, are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Furthermore, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts have resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy and capital markets around the world. The Company cannot predict the future progression or full impact of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business and operations. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this report. |
