1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description
of Business
Evofem
is a San Diego-based, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and 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 for women. The Company commercially launched Phexxi in September 2020. Phexxi net product sales
were $16.8 million in 2022.
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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 27, 2023 (the 2022 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 months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from
the 2022 Audited Financial Statements.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
March 15, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split between 1-for-20 and not more than 1-for-125 at any time
on or prior to March 15, 2024. The Company determined on a ratio of 1-for-125 for the Reverse Stock Split. On May 18, 2023, the Reverse
Stock Split became effective. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are retrospectively adjusted for this Reverse Stock
Split. See Note 10- Subsequent Events for further discussions on the Reverse Stock Split and other subsequent events.
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 have been related to research and development, including the development of Phexxi, and to its commercially
related sales and marketing efforts. Additional activities have included raising capital, identifying alternative manufacturing to lower
the cost of goods sold (COGS), seeking ex-U.S. licensing partners 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. In the first quarter of 2023, as described in Note 4- Debt and Note 8- Stockholders’
Deficit, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million, in aggregate, from the sale and issuance of senior subordinated
convertible notes and warrants in three closings. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million, $0.9
million in restricted cash from the Adjuvant Notes (as defined in Note 4- Debt) that is available for use, a working capital deficit
of $63.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $941.0 million.
Effective
October 3, 2022, the Company’s common stock is listed 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.
In
October 2022, the Company reported that its Phase 3 clinical trial (EVOGUARD) did not achieve its efficacy endpoints. The Company has discontinued
investment in this development program.
In
March 2023, the Company received a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the Notice of Default) from Baker Bros claiming
that the Company has failed to maintain the required shares reserved amount per the Third Baker Amendment as defined in Note 4- Debt.
In addition, the Notice of Default resulted in a cross default under all outstanding debt.
Management’s
plans to meet the Company’s cash flow needs in the next 12 months include generating recurring product revenue, restructuring its
current payables, curing the event of default under its debt arrangements, and obtaining additional funding such as through the issuance
of its capital stock, non-dilutive financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies, including license agreements
for Phexxi in foreign markets.
While
the Company has increased net product sales in each consecutive fiscal year since the launch of Phexxi in September 2020, the Company
anticipates it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. According to management estimates, liquidity resources as
of March 31, 2023 are 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 in foreign markets, or other means, or is unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to the Company,
or if the event of default under its existing debt arrangements is not cured or there is another event of default affecting the
notes payable, 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.
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 discount rate used in estimating the fair value of the lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and
lease liabilities; the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of convertible notes, warrants and purchase rights issued; the
useful lives of property and equipment; the recoverability of long-lived assets; and clinical trial accruals; the assumptions used
in estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation expense. 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’s deposits were primarily held in Silicon Valley Bank
prior to their closure by regulators, however, the Company was subsequently able to regain full access to all its deposits and moved
these to a different financial institution.
The
Company is also subject to credit risk related to its trade accounts receivable from product sales. Its customers are located in the
United States and consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and a mail-order specialty pharmacy. 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 March 31, 2023, based on the evaluation
of these factors, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Phexxi
is distributed primarily through three major distributors and a mail-order pharmacy, who receive service fees calculated as a percentage
of the gross sales, and fee per units shipped, respectively. These entities are not obligated to purchase any set number of units and
distribute Phexxi on demand as orders are received. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s three largest
customers combined made up approximately 86% and 70% of its gross product sales, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022,
the Company’s three largest customers combined made up 94% and 73%, 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 2022 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, which are collateral for the Company’s credit cards, facility leases
and fleet leases, as described in Note 7- Commitments and Contingencies. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the letters
of credit of $0.3
million for its fleet leases have been released.
Additionally, the remaining $0.9
million of the $25.0
million received from the issuance of Adjuvant
Notes (as defined in Note 4- Debt) in the fourth quarter of 2020, is classified as restricted cash as the Company is contractually
obligated to use the funds for specific purposes. 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, has been recovered
by the landlord.

Net
Loss Per Share
Basic
net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net 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 and, therefore, basic and diluted net loss
per share were the same for all periods presented. 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
In
March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASU No. 2022-02). This is an amendment to ASU
2016-13, where it eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructuring by creditors in Subtopic 310-40,
Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings
and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. ASU No. 2022-02 was effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 2023 since the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new standard did not have a
material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Phexxi 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 United
States and consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and a mail-order specialty pharmacy. 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 balance sheet, net of various allowances as described in the Trade Accounts Receivable policy
in Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the 2022 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.
Phexxi
is 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. If the estimated amount is payable to a customer, it is recorded
as a reduction to accounts receivable. If the estimated amount is payable to an entity other than a customer, it is recorded as a current
liability. 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
or through 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 pharmacy, and other relevant
data reports. Because Phexxi was launched in September 2020, this historical data is limited. Due to limits on historical data, the Company
has also used trend analysis and professional judgment in developing these estimates.
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 pharmacy.
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, therefore, they are recorded in other current
liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
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 sheet.
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) are able to purchase
the product 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 sheet.
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 in 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 sheet.
Patient
support programs – One type of patient support program the Company offers is a co-pay program to commercially insured patients
whose insurance requires a co-pay to be made when filling their prescription. This is a voluntary program that is intended 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 that is 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 sheet.
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 six months. Phexxi was commercially launched in September 2020. 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 sheet.
As
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the variable considerations discussed above were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance
sheet and consisted of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in contra trade accounts receivable and $3.1 million and $2.6 million,
respectively, in other current liabilities.
4. Debt
Convertible
Notes
Baker
Bros. Notes
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.
At
the initial closing date of April 24, 2020 (the Baker Initial Closing), the Company issued and sold Baker Notes with an aggregate principal
amount of $15.0 million (the Baker First Closing Notes) and Baker Warrants exercisable for 1,639 shares of common stock.
Following
the Baker Initial Closing, the Baker Purchasers had an option to purchase from the Company up to $10.0 million of Baker Notes (the Baker
Purchase Rights) at the Baker Purchasers’ discretion at any time prior to the Company receiving at least $100.0 million in aggregate
gross proceeds from one or more sales of equity securities.
On
June 5, 2020 (the Exercise Date), the Baker Purchasers exercised the Baker Purchase Rights. At the second closing date of June 9, 2020
(the Baker Second Closing), the Baker Purchasers acquired the remaining Baker Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million
and Baker Warrants exercisable for 1,092 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $1.4 million
and $0.7 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.
As of March 31, 2023, the Baker Notes could be converted into 57,426,766 shares of common stock.
The
Baker Notes are callable by the Company on 10 days’ written notice beginning on the third anniversary of the initial closing date
of April 24, 2020. The call price will equal 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) is 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 is less
than such benchmark price. The Baker Purchasers also have 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 an event of default or the Company’s
change of control, the repurchase price will 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 in any equity financing closing on or prior to the date the Company has met the Financing Threshold, the Company was required to issue
warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company (or other similar consideration), the Company was also 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 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 (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 - Stockholders’ Deficit for further information. The exercise price of the initial
Baker Warrants and the June 2022 Baker Warrants was reset to $1.625 per share with the February and March 2023 Notes issuance, both as
discussed below, and further reset to $0.8125 per share along with the April 2023 Notes issuance.
On
March 21, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Second Baker Amendment), pursuant
to which each Baker Purchaser now has 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 has
(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) the publication of its top-line results from its EVOGUARD
clinical trial (the Clinical Trial Milestone) by October 31, 2022. The Second Baker Amendment also provides 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.
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 was amended to equal to $26.25, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive Company equity issuance adjustments
for a two-year period, removal of an interest make-whole payment due in certain circumstances, 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 provides that the Company may make future interest payments to the Baker Purchasers in kind or in cash, at
the Company’s option.
The
Baker Notes contain various customary affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the Company, including timely payment, in cash,
of the quarterly interest payment and maintaining an active listing. On September 12, 2022, the Company received a default notice from
the Baker Purchasers due to its failure of making the required payments of accrued interest for the first and second quarters of 2022
in the aggregate amount of $1.4 million and being delisted from Nasdaq. As a result of the cross-default provisions applicable to the
Adjuvant Notes and the May 2022 Notes (both, as discussed below), the Company was also in default of these Notes. On September 15, 2022,
the Company entered into a (i) Forbearance Agreement (the Secured Creditor Forbearance Agreement) with the Baker Purchasers, pursuant
to which the Baker Purchasers agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period (as defined),
but solely with respect to the specified events of default (Forbearance Termination Event) provided under the Secured Creditor Forbearance
Agreement, which includes among other things, the first date after December 31, 2022, on which the Company’s cash falls below $1.0
million. In exchange for the forbearance and the Third Baker Amendment, the Company agreed to adjust the aggregate principal balance
of the Baker Notes to $44.2 million, which includes the delinquent interest payments of $1.4 million that the Baker Purchasers agreed
to forego in cash, as well as an immaterial amount of legal fees incurred by the Baker Purchasers’ counsel.
On
December 19, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement (the Amendment) effective as of December 15,
2022 (the Amendment Effective Date) to amend certain provisions of the of the Secured Creditor Forbearance Agreement dated September
15, 2022. The Amendment revises the Secured Creditor 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 Secured Creditor Forbearance Agreements.
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 claims that the Company has failed to
maintain the “Required Reserve Amount” as required by the Third Baker Amendment. The Designated Agent, at the direction
of the Baker Purchasers, has 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 Notice of Default resulted in a cross default under all
outstanding debt. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, the Baker Notes remain outstanding, and the Company has
sufficient required reserve number of shares upon the effectuation of the Reverse Stock Split. The failure to cure the default or
otherwise settle or resolve, could have a significant negative financial impact on the Company, could result in litigation, and
could result in the assets of the company being seized, attached or otherwise utilized to satisfy the debt.
The
Company evaluated whether any of the Embedded Features required bifurcation as a separate component of equity. 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 hybrid 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 income in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other changes in fair
value were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For
the quarter ended March 31, 2023, using the valuation methods discussed in Note 6- Fair Value Financial Instruments, the Company
recorded a gain of $15.5 million due to changes in fair value of the Baker notes, and recorded as a component of other comprehensive
income due to changes in the underlying instrument-specific credit risk for the Baker Notes. The fair value of the Baker Notes 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. If the resulting fair value
is not estimated as greater than the contractual payout, the fair value of the Baker Notes then becomes the Company’s MVIC available
for distribution.
As
of March 31, 2023, the Baker Notes are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes
payable with a total balance of $23.8 million, and the total outstanding balance including principal and accrued interest is $93.3 million.
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 have interest accruing 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 period was 7.7%.
Interest
expense for the Adjuvant Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands):

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 from the sales of Phexxi of $100.0 million, provided such net
sales are 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, effective as of the next date the Company achieved the Qualified Financing Threshold upon the closing of the May
2022 Public Offering, 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 2022 reverse stock split the conversion price 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 from the sales of Phexxi of $100.0 million, provided
such net sales are 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 (i) 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 (Adjuvant Purchase Rights). The number of shares for each Adjuvant Purchase Right is initially fixed,
but is subject to certain customary adjustments, and, until the second anniversary of issuance, adjustments for certain dilutive Company
equity issuances. Refer to Note 8- 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 March 31, 2023, all Adjuvant Purchase Rights remain outstanding. The conversion
price of the Adjuvant Notes were further reset to $1.625 per share with the February 2023 Notes issuance, as discussed below. Subsequent
to March 31, 2023, the conversion price adjusted to $0.8125, as discussed in Note 10– Subsequent Events.
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 sheet. The aggregate proceeds of $25.0
million was 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. Its conversion feature is required to be bifurcated as
an embedded derivative due to the fact that the Company does not have sufficient number of shares reserved upon conversion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022;
however, the fair value of such feature is immaterial for both periods. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $0.9
million in proceeds remained, which are included in restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 7- Fair
Value of Financial Instruments for a description of the accounting treatment for the Adjuvant Purchase Rights.
Due
to the execution of the Adjuvant Forbearance and the Second Adjuvant Amendment, the Company reviewed the Adjuvant Notes in accordance
with Topics ASC 470-50 – Modifications and Extinguishments and ASC 470-60 – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors.
The Company concluded that although changes in the structure of the debt met certain qualitative factors to qualify as a troubled
debt restructuring (TDR), the effective interest rate post changes was greater than the original effective interest rate and, therefore,
failed the quantitative test to be a TDR. The Adjuvant Notes were evaluated in accordance with ASC 470-50 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 old debt from its books and recorded the new, revised debt and concurrently recognized a gain of approximately $2.5 million
upon extinguishment, included in change in fair value of financial instruments within the condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the third quarter of 2022.
As
discussed above, on March 7, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the Notice of Default)
from Baker Bros. resulting in a cross default under the all outstanding debt and as such, the Company was not in compliance with all
applicable covenants as of March 31, 2023. However, upon the Reverse Stock Split effectuated on May 18, 2023, the Company now has sufficient required reserve number of shares.
As
of March 31, 2023, the Adjuvant Notes are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes payable
with a total balance of $26.8 million. The balance is comprised of $22.3 million in principal, net of unamortized debt issuance costs,
and $4.5 million in accrued interest.
As
of March 31, 2023 and assuming the current conversion price of $1.625 per share, the Adjuvant Notes could be converted into 16,512,880
shares of common stock.
Term
Notes
January
and March 2022 Notes
On
January 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the January 2022 Purchase Agreement) with institutional investors
(the January 2022 Purchasers) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (i) unsecured 5.0% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2025 with an aggregate issue price of $5.9 million (the January 2022 Notes), which included an original issue
discount of $0.9 million, and (ii) warrants (the January 2022 Warrants) to purchase up to 8,003 shares of the Company’s common
stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The January 2022 Warrants have an exercise price of $735.00 per share and were initially exercisable
beginning on July 15, 2022 with a five-year term. Pursuant to the terms of the March 2022 Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the
January 2022 Warrants became exercisable on March 1, 2022, as described in more detail below.
On
March 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the March 2022 Purchase Agreement) with institutional investors
(the March 2022 Purchasers) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (i) unsecured 5.0% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2025 with an aggregate issue price of $7.45 million (the March 2022 Notes), which included an original issue discount of $2.45
million, and (ii) warrants (the March 2022 Warrants) to purchase up to 8,303 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par
value per share. The March 2022 Warrants have an exercise price of $897.56 per share and are immediately exercisable with a five-year
term.
The
January and March 2022 Notes carried an interest rate of 5% per annum, which was subject to increase to 18% upon an event of default.
The January and March 2022 Notes were able to be prepaid, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option together with all accrued
and unpaid interest and fees as of the date of the repayment. The holders of the January and March 2022 Notes were able to require the
Company to redeem their respective notes upon the occurrence of an event of default with a redemption premium of 25%. The holders of
the January and March 2022 Notes were also able to require the Company to redeem their respective notes upon the occurrence of certain
subsequent transactions.
Pursuant
to the terms of the January and March 2022 Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed to certain restrictions on effecting variable rate
transactions so long as the January and March 2022 Notes were outstanding. Also, pursuant to the terms of the January and March 2022
Purchase Agreements, the January and March 2022 Purchasers had certain rights to participate in subsequent issuances of the Company’s
securities, subject to certain exceptions.
The
Company evaluated the January and March 2022 Notes to determine if any embedded components qualified as a derivative requiring bifurcation
in accordance with ASC 815. The Company determined that the embedded put option and interest rate increase feature would both require
bifurcation and separate accounting. Therefore, the Company elected to use the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments
(ASC 825) for the January and March 2022 Notes inclusive of the embedded features.
The
Company evaluated the January and March 2022 Warrants and determined that in accordance with ASC 815 the warrants should be recorded
at fair value and classified as a derivative liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Both the January and March 2022
Notes and Warrants were marked-to-market at each reporting date.
Under
the valuation methods as described in Note 6- Fair Value of Financial Instruments the Company recorded the following in the condensed
consolidated financial statements related to the January and March 2022 Notes and Warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2022:
(i) $0.2 million in notes at issuance; (ii) $10.6 million in warrants at issuance as a derivative liability; (iii) a $0.9 million loss
on issuance; and (iv) a $2.8 million gain in fair value of financial instruments as a result of the mark-to-market adjustment on the
January and March 2022 Warrants. On May 4, 2022, the January and March 2022 Notes were exchanged pursuant to the May 2022 Exchange, as
defined below, and therefore no longer outstanding since May 2022.
Interest
pertaining to the January 2022 Notes and March 2022 Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $0.1 million and
immaterial, respectively. Since the Company accounts for the January and March 2022 Notes under the fair value method, the interest was
included in the determination of the fair value, and the debt issuance costs were expensed.
May
2022 Notes
On
May 4, 2022, the Company entered into amendment and exchange agreements (the May 2022 Exchange) with the holder of issued and outstanding
Series B-2 and C Preferred Stock, Seven Knots, and the January and March 2022 Notes Purchasers (collectively, the May 2022 Notes Purchasers),
pursuant to which they agreed to exchange all of the January and March 2022 Notes, 2,100 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock,
1,700 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and 4,266 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for (i) new 5.0% Senior Subordinated
Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $22.3 million (the May 2022 Notes), (ii) 1,666 new shares of Common Stock and (iii) new warrants
to purchase up to 6,666 shares of Common Stock (the May 2022 Warrants). The May 2022 Warrants have an exercise price of $309.56 per share
and were exercisable immediately with a five-year term. The 2,100 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,700 shares of Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock, and 4,266 shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were exchanged in the May 2022 Exchange were
retired by the Company. All exchange transactions aforementioned were cashless.
The
May 2022 Notes are substantially similar to the January and March 2022 Notes, except that (i) the maturity date of the May 2022 Notes
was August 1, 2022 and (ii) the holders of the May 2022 Notes may require the Company to redeem or exchange up to 100% of the May 2022
Notes upon the occurrence of certain subsequent transactions (each, a Subsequent Transaction Optional Redemption). Pursuant to the terms
of the May 2022 Notes and subject to certain conditions described in the May 2022 Notes, if the Company completed an underwritten public
offering of at least $20 million complying with certain conditions (a Qualified Underwritten Offering) and the holder of the May 2022
Notes did not participate in the Qualified Underwritten Offering, then the holder would have forfeited their right to Subsequent Transaction
Optional Redemption solely with respect to that Qualified Underwritten Offering and amounts that may have been due pursuant to the May
2022 Notes would not have been due and payable until the three-month anniversary of the Qualified Underwritten Offering.
The
May 2022 Public Offering qualified as the Qualified Underwritten Offering and, in connection with the May 2022 Public Offering, the holders
of the May 2022 Notes waived certain of their preemptive and redemption rights and the Company redeemed $5.9 million of the May 2022
Notes. The holders of the May 2022 Notes also waived the maturity date of the May 2022 Notes until October 31, 2022.
The
May 2022 Notes contain various customary affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the Company. The May 2022 Notes also include
other customary events of default, which include the suspension of trading of shares of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq
Capital Market for a period of more than five trading days. On September 12, 2022, the Company was in default of the May Notes due to
the default with the Baker Notes under the cross-default provision. As a result, the interest rate was increased to 18% for the duration
of the default and the holders of the May 2022 Notes had the right to request redemption for 125% of the amounts then owed pursuant to
the May 2022 Notes.
On
September 15, 2022, the Company entered into exchange agreements with each of the May 2022 Notes Purchasers (the May 2022 Notes Exchange
Agreements), pursuant to which the May 2022 Notes Purchasers agreed to exchange all outstanding balance of the May Notes as of September
15, 2022 using the higher interest rate and redemption premium aforementioned for purchase rights (the May Note Purchase Rights) to receive
832,237 shares of common stock. As a result, the May Notes are no longer outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The number of right shares
for each May Note Purchase Right is initially fixed, but is subject to certain customary adjustments, and, until the second anniversary
of issuance, adjustments for certain dilutive Company equity issuances, as further discussed in Note 8- Stockholders’ Deficit
and expire on June 28, 2027. The May 2022 Notes Purchasers also waived certain anti-dilution share adjustment provisions with respect
to shares underlying the May 2022 Warrants.
The
Company evaluated the May 2022 Notes and determined that in accordance with ASC 470 the notes should be accounted for as a modification
of the January and March 2022 Notes. The Company further evaluated the May 2022 Notes to determine if any embedded components qualified
as a derivative requiring bifurcation in accordance with ASC 815. The Company determined that the embedded put options and interest rate
increase feature would all require bifurcation and separate accounting. Therefore, the Company elected to use the fair value option under
ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825) for the May 2022 Notes inclusive of the embedded features.
The
Company evaluated the May 2022 Warrants and determined that, in accordance with ASC 815, the warrants should be recorded at fair value
and classified as a derivative liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Both the May 2022 Notes and Warrants are marked-to-market
at each reporting date before the exchange as described above.
December
2022 Notes
On
December 20, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the December 2022 Purchase Agreement), with certain investors
(the December 2022 Notes Purchasers) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (i) unsecured 8.0%
Senior Subordinated Notes due December 21, 2025 with an aggregate issue price of $2.3 million (the December 2022 Notes), which included
an original issue discount of $0.8 million (ii) warrants (the December 2022 Warrants) to purchase up to 369,230 shares of the Company’s
common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and (iii) an aggregate 70 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the Preferred Shares) (collectively,
the Offering). The Offering closed on December 21, 2022, with net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting offering
expenses, of $1.25 million. The December 2022 Notes are convertible at $6.25, and the December 2022 Warrants have a strike price of $6.25.
The
December 2022 Notes interest rate is subject to increase to 12%
upon an event of default and have no Company right to prepayment prior to maturity, however, the Company can redeem the respective
notes at a redemption premium of 32.5%.
The December 2022 Notes Purchasers can also require the Company to redeem their notes at the respective premium rate tied to the
occurrence of certain subsequent transactions, as well as require the Company to redeem the December 2022 Notes in the event of
subsequent placements (as defined). Also, pursuant to the terms of the December 2022 Purchase Agreement, the December 2022 Notes
Purchasers have certain rights to participate in subsequent issuances of the Company’s securities, subject to certain
exceptions. Additionally, the December 2022 Notes conversion rate and warrant strike price are subject to adjustment upon the
issuance of other securities (as defined) less than the stated conversion rate and strike price of $6.25.
Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the conversion and strike price adjusted to $1.625 as of March 31, 2023 and then to $0.8125
in April 2023, as discussed in Note 10– Subsequent Events.
The
Company evaluated the December 2022 Notes and December 2022 Warrants, in accordance with ASC 480 – Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity and determined both were liability instruments. The December 2022 Notes were then evaluated in
accordance the requirements of ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825) and concluded the Company was not precluded from
electing the fair value option for the December 2022 Notes; as such the December 2022 Notes are carried at fair value in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets. Since the December 2022 Warrants are also required to be recorded as liabilities in the
Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, they are also carried at fair value. Both the December 2022 Notes and
Warrants are marked-to-market at each reporting date with changes in fair value of the December 2022 Notes and Warrants are recorded
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 will be recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
February
and March 2023 Notes
On
February 17, March 13 and March 20, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors providing
for the sale and issuance of senior subordinate convertible notes (collectively, the February and March 2023 SPAs). The February and
March 2023 SPAs included (i) convertible promissory notes with aggregate original principal amounts of approximately $1.4
million, $0.6
million, and $0.5
million, respectively (the February and March 2023 Notes), and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate 553,846, 240,000,
and 215,384
shares of common stock, respectively (the February and March 2023 Warrants and collectively, the February and March 2023 Offerings).
The 2023 Offerings closed on February 17, 2023 (the February 2023 Closing), and March 13, 2023, March 20, 2023 (the March 2023
Closing), respectively, with gross proceeds to the Company, before deducting offering expenses, of approximately $0.9
million, $0.4
million, and $0.3
million, respectively. The February and March 2023 SPAs also included a Registration Rights Agreement that requires us to register
the common stock underlying the February and March 2023 Notes and Warrants within the timeframes specified therein. In addition, the
Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 99,692
and 43,200
shares of common stock in February and March 2023 Closing to the placement agent.
Upon
the April 2023 Closing as discussed in Note 10– Subsequent Events, the conversion and strike prices, as applicable, of the
Baker Notes, Baker Warrants, the May 2022 Common Warrants, the June 2022 Baker Warrants, the Adjuvant Notes, the December 2022 Notes
and Warrants, and the Notes and Warrants in the February and March 2023 Closing reset to $0.8125 per share, accordingly. Additionally,
the Company’s outstanding Purchase Rights increased by approximately 15,218,227 since March 31, 2023.

As of March

number of authorized shares and other adjustment mechanics. However, warrants with an exercise price greater than $2.50 per share were
considered to be significantly out of the money as of March 31, 2023 and therefore the value ascribed to those warrants was considered
to be de minimus and is therefore excluded from the above table. |

Valuation
Methodology
Through
June 30, 2022, the fair value of the Baker Notes issued, and the change in fair value of the Baker Notes at the reporting date, were
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 future value of our common stock, a potential change of control event, the probability of meeting certain
debt covenants, the maturity term of the Baker Notes, the probability of an event of voluntary conversion of the Baker Notes, the probability
of the failure to meet the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of Phexxi by June 30, 2023, and the
probability of exercise of the put right and the probability of exercise of our call right.
The
fair value of the Baker Notes are 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 future value of the Company’s common stock, the probability and timing of a potential
change of control event, the probability of meeting certain debt covenants, the probability of an event of voluntary conversion of the
Baker Notes, exercise of the put right, and exercise of the Company’s call right. The fair value of the Baker Notes is sensitive
to these estimated inputs made by management that are used in the calculation.
Since
the third quarter of 2022, 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 (3.5%)
and discount (19.0%)
rates. The guideline public company method served as another valuation indicator. In this form of the Market approach, comparable
market revenue multiples were elected and applied to the Company’s forward revenue forecast to ultimately derive a MVIC
indication. If the resulting fair value from these approaches is not estimated as greater than the contractual payout, the fair
value of the Baker Notes then becomes only the Company MVIC available for distribution to this first lien note holder.
January
and March 2022 Notes
The
fair value of the January and March 2022 Notes issued as described in Note 4- Debt, and subsequent changes in fair value recorded
at each reporting date, was determined using a probability weighted expected return method (PWERM) model. PWERM was used to take into
account several factors, including the future value of the Company’s common stock, a potential change of control event, the probability
of meeting certain debt covenants, the maturity term of the January and March 2022 Notes, exercise of the put right, and exercise of
the Company’s call right.
May
2022 Notes
The
fair value of the May 2022 Notes issued as described in Note 4- Debt, and subsequent changes in fair value recorded at each reporting
date, was determined using a PWERM model. PWERM was used to take into account several factors, including the future value of the Company’s
common stock, a potential change of control event, the probability of meeting certain debt covenants, the maturity term of the January
and March 2022 Notes, exercise of the put right, and exercise of the Company’s call right.
December
2022 Notes and February and March 2023 Notes
The
fair value of the December 2022 Notes and February and March 2023 Notes issued as described in Note 4- Debt, were determined using
a Black-Scholes option pricing model using typical inputs such as underlying market price of the Company’s common stock, the conversion/strike
price, time to maturity of the December 2022 Notes and February and March 2023 Notes, guideline public company volatilities and
a risk-free interest rate.
Purchase
Rights
The
Adjuvant Purchase Rights and the May Note Purchase Rights (collectively Purchase Rights) contain certain provisions that are outside
the Company’s control under which the holders can force settlement in cash; as such, the Purchase Rights are recorded as
derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Purchase Rights are valued using an option pricing model
(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
The
warrants contain certain provisions, which are outside the Company’s control, under which the holders can force settlement in
cash, as such, the warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with
ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, 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 March
31, 2023. The Company will continue to re-evaluate the classification of its warrants at each balance sheet to determine the proper
balance sheet classification for them. 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 and a risk-free interest rate and probability of change of control event.

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 personnel. As of March 31, 2023, there was a total of 25 leased vehicles. The Company maintains
a letter of credit as collateral in favor of the Lessor, which was included in restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance
sheet. As December 31, 2022, this letter of credit was $0.3 million, which was released by the Lessor during the quarter ended March
31, 2023. The Company determined that the leased vehicles are accounted for as operating leases under 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. The Company determined that such
extension is accounted for as a modification, for which the Company reassessed the lease classification and the incremental borrowing
rate on the modification date 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 and will expire on September 30, 2025, unless
terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The Company has a right to extend the term of the lease for an additional five years,
although at this time the Company does not anticipate exercising such extension. The Company provided the landlord with a $750,000 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 and will expire on September 30, 2025. The Company provided an additional $50,000 in a letter of credit for the
Expansion Premises. As of December 31, 2022, restricted cash maintained as collateral for the Company’s security deposit was $0.8
million.
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. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report we are unable to
estimate the amount of damages the landlord may seek, if any, as a result of the breech. On March 31, 2023, the Company vacated the
High Bluff Premises. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Company reached a settlement with the landlord to release the remaining
future lease payment of $5.3
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 $87,000 per month, subject to an annual 3.5% increase
each year. Gross sublease income was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Other
Contractual Commitments
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, pursuant to
which the Company has certain minimum purchase commitments based on the forecasted product sales. The amounts purchased under the supply
and manufacturing agreement were none for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
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.
As
of March 31, 2023, there were no other claims or actions pending against the Company which management believes has 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. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 65% of our trade payables were greater than 90 days past due.
In
April 2023, the Company received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter (the “Padagis Notice Letter”) regarding an Abbreviated
New Drug Application (“ANDA”) submitted to the FDA by Padagis Israel Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Padagis”). The ANDA seeks
approval from the FDA to commercially manufacture, use, or sell a generic version of Phexxi®
under 21 U.S.C. § 355(j) prior to the expiration of United States Patent Nos.
10,568,855; 11,337,989; and 11,439,610 listed in the FDA’s Orange Book: Approved Drug
Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (collectively the “Phexxi Patents”). In the Padagis Notice Letter,
Padagis claims that the Phexxi Patents are invalid under various grounds.
On
June 1, 2023, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement in Evofem Biosciences, Inc. et al. v. Padagis Israel Pharmaceuticals,
et al., in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case was assigned number 2:23-cv-03003.
The complaint alleges that Padagis’ proposed generic version of Phexxi infringes the
Phexxi Patents. The relief sought by the Company is a declaration of infringement and an
injunction of FDA approval of Padagis’ proposed generic version of Phexxi until expiration
of the Phexxi Patents in 2033. Until the earlier of final judgment or the passage
of 30 months from the receipt of the Padagis Notice Letter, the FDA is prohibited from approving Padagis’ ANDA to market its proposed
generic version of Phexxi. The Company subsequently filed a substantively identical action in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware, Evofem Biosciences, Inc. et al. v. Padagis Israel Pharmaceuticals, et al., which was assigned number 1:23-cv-00606-UNA. The
Company is not aware of any answer or counterclaim filed by Padagis in either action against the Company at this time.
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 we licensed from Rush University,
three Orders Granting Interim Extension (OGIEs) were received from the USPTO, extending the expiration of this patent to September
2023. Pursuant to the Rush License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to Rush University an earned royalty based upon a
percentage of net sales in the range of mid-single digits. 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 $100,000
to the extent the earned royalties do not equal or exceed $100,000
commencing January 1, 2021. Such royalty costs, included in cost of goods sold, were an immaterial amount and $0.3
million amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
approximately $0.6
million were included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
8. 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. As of March 31, 2023, the
exercise price of the Baker warrants was reset to $1.625 per share and then reset to $0.8125 per share subsequent to March 31, 2023 as
discussed in Note 10– Subsequent Events.
In
February and March 2023, pursuant to the 2023 Securities Purchase Agreement 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. Subsequent to March 31,
2023, these warrants had their strike price reset to $0.8125.
As
of March 31, 2023, warrants to purchase up to 3,180,282 shares of the Company’s common stock remain outstanding at a weighted average
exercise price of $35.70 per share. All warrants issued by the Company are subject to liability accounting due to potential settlement
in cash, an insufficient number of authorized shares and other adjustment mechanics. However, warrants with an exercise price greater
than $2.50 per share were considered to be significantly out of the money as of March 31, 2023 and therefore the value ascribed to those
warrants was considered to be de minimus. In accordance with ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, 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 March 31, 2023. The Company will continue to re-evaluate the classification of its warrants
at each balance sheet to determine the proper balance sheet classification for them. The fair value of the warrants is included in derivative
liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These warrants are summarized below:

Convertible
Preferred Stock
In
October 2021, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $1,000.00
per share, and 5,000 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $1,000.00 per share
to Keystone Capital Partners (Keystone Capital) through a registered direct offering.
The
Series B-1 and B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of common stock at any time at a conversion price per share
of the greater of Fixed Conversion Price or Variable Conversion Price as defined. All 5,000 shares of B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
were converted in 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price was adjusted
during the first quarter of 2022 for certain dilutive issuances. The adjustment period ended on April 25, 2022 and the Fixed Conversion
Price was fixed at $332.50 from the sale of common stock pursuant to the Seven Knots Purchase Agreement. During March and April 2022,
Keystone Capital converted their 1,200 shares of B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $587.50 per share into 2,347
shares of the Company’s common stock.
On
March 24, 2022, the Company, entered into an exchange agreement with the holder of its Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant
to which the holder agreed to exchange 1,700 shares of the Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock in consideration for 1,700 shares of
the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, $1,000.00 per share stated value. Except with
respect to voting provisions, the Series C and Series B-2 Preferred Stock had substantially similar terms.
On
May 4, 2022, pursuant to the May 2022 Exchange, the remaining 2,100 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,700 shares
of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were exchanged for Senior Subordinated Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $4.8 million
and warrants to purchase up to 6,666 shares of common 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 preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Nonconvertible
Preferred Stock
On
December 16, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the Series D Preferred Shares). An aggregate of 70
shares was authorized, they 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 per shares, were not entitled to
dividends, and are required to be redeemed by the Company, once its shareholders have approved a reverse split, as described in the
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 5- Debt. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, all Series D Preferred are still outstanding. Since the
Series D Preferred Shares can only be settled in cash, they are recorded as a liability within accrued expenses in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. The amount related to the liability is de minimus.
Common
Stock
Effective
January 17, 2018, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation, under which the Company was authorized to issue
up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. Effective December 15, 2021, the Company further amended its amended
and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000 shares.
Public
Offerings
In
May 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the May 2022 Public Offering), whereby the Company issued 181,320 shares
of common stock and common warrants (the May Common Stock Warrants) to purchase 362,640 shares of common stock at a price to the public
of $93.75. The common warrants have an exercise price of $93.75 per share, a five-year term, and were exercisable beginning on May 24,
2022. In the May 2022 Public Offering the Company also issued pre-funded warrants to purchase 102,680 shares of common stock and common
warrants to purchase 205,360 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $93.63. The pre-funded warrants had an exercise price
of $0.125 per share, were exercisable beginning on May 24, 2022 were fully exercised after completion of this offering. The Company received
proceeds from the May 2022 Public Offering of $18.1 million, net of $5.9 million debt repayment, underwriting discounts and offering
expenses. As discussed above in Warrants, the May Common Stock Warrants were impacted by dilution adjustments
and the strike price was reset to $1.625 during the first quarter of 2023, with a further strike price reset to $0.8125 subsequent to
March 31, 2023.
Common
Stock Purchase Agreement
On
February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) with Seven Knots, LLC
(Seven Knots), pursuant to which Seven Knots agreed to purchase from the Company up to $50.0
million in shares of the Company’s common stock. Sales made to Seven Knots were at the Company’s sole discretion, and
the Company controlled the timing and amount of any and all sales. The price per share was based on the market price of the
Company’s common stock at the time of sale as computed under the Stock Purchase Agreement. As consideration for Seven
Knots’ commitment to purchase shares of common stock, the Company issued 1,025
shares of common stock to Seven Knots as commitment fee shares, and as of March 31, 2022, issued 8,648
shares of its common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $675.00 per
share. Effective May 18, 2022, the Company and Seven Knots elected to terminate
the Stock Purchase Agreement without any penalty or additional cost to the Company.
Sales
of common stock to Seven Knots are subject to customary 4.99% and 19.99% beneficial ownership limitations. The Stock Purchase Agreement
had a termination date of the earliest of March 1, 2024, or when Seven Knots has purchased from the Company $50.0 million in shares of
the Company’s common stock, or as otherwise determined by the Stock Purchase Agreement at the Company’s option.
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 is initially fixed at issuance, but is subject to certain customary adjustments, and,
until the second anniversary of issuance, adjustments for certain dilutive Company equity issuances and expire on June 28, 2027. Refer
to Note 6- Fair Value of Financial Instruments for the accounting treatment of the Purchase Rights. In connection with the February and
March 2023 Notes issuance during the first quarter of 2023, the Company increased the number of outstanding Purchase Rights by 10,467,332
due to the reset of its exercise price. During
the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 718,704
shares of common stock upon the exercises of
certain Purchase Rights. As of March 31, 2023, Purchase Rights of 14,238,827
shares of the Company’s common stock remained
outstanding. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Purchase Rights had an additional dilution adjustment.

Stock
Options
There
were zero and 1,741 shares of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March
31, 2023, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options was approximately $2.3 million, which the Company
expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.9 years, assuming all unvested options become fully vested.
Restricted
Stock Awards
There
were zero and 1,258 shares of performance-based RSAs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, to
the Company’s executive management team. The vesting conditions for the performance-based RSAs are connected to the Company’s
achievement of certain performance milestones during the current fiscal year.
For
the 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. The 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.
Employee
Stock Purchase Plan
The
purchase price under the 2019 ESPP is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or the last business
day of an offering period. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased by any participant during an offering period
is equal to $25,000 divided by the fair market value of the common stock on the first business day of an offering period. In October
2022, the Board terminated the offering period ending December 15, 2022, refunded all employee contributions, and suspended future offering
periods.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no shares of common stock purchased under the 2019 ESPP.
The
fair market value of shares to be issued to employees under the 2019 ESPP is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model at
the grant date, which requires the use of subjective and complex assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii)
the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) the expected dividend yield. No grant date
fair value calculation was performed during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
10. Subsequent Events
Subsequent
events were evaluated through the filing date of this Quarterly Report, June 16, 2023.
Additional
Financings
In
April 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors providing for the sale and issuance of senior
subordinate convertible notes (the April 2023 SPA). The April 2023 SPA included (i) convertible promissory notes with aggregate original
