Organization and Description of Business |
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Vyant Bio, Inc. (the “Company”, “Vyant Bio”, “VYNT” or “we”), is an innovative biotechnology company transforming drug discovery for complex neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Our central nervous system (“CNS”) drug discovery platform combines the scientific knowhow of our team coupled with the application of human-derived organoid models of brain disease, scaled biology, and machine learning. Our platform is designed to: 1) elucidate disease pathophysiology; 2) formulate key therapeutic hypotheses; 3) identify and validate drug targets, cellular assays, and biomarkers to guide candidate molecule selection; and 4) guide clinical trial patient selection and trial design. Our current programs are focused on identifying repurposed and novel small molecule clinical candidates for rare CNS genetic disorders including Rett Syndrome (“RTT”), CDKL5 Deficiency Disorders (“CDD”) and familial Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”). The Company’s management believes that drug discovery needs to progressively shift as the widely used preclinical models for predicting safe and effective drugs have under-performed, as evidenced by the time and cost of bringing novel drugs to market. As a result, Vyant Bio is focused on combining sophisticated data science capabilities with highly functional human cell derived disease models. We leverage our ability to identify validated targets and molecular-based biomarkers to screen and test thousands of small molecule compounds in highly standardized human diseased 3D brain organoids in order to create a unique approach to assimilating biological data that supports decision making iteratively throughout the discovery phase of drug development to identify both novel and repurposed drug candidates.
vivoPharm Sale
On November 2, 2022 the Company completed the sale of its principal vivoPharm subsidiary, vivoPharm LLC, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, to Reaction Biology Corporation for $5.5 million in an upfront cash payment, subject to customary adjustments for working capital, closing cash, indebtedness and transaction expenses. After these closing adjustments were reflected, $5.5 million was paid at closing. Vyant Bio expects to net approximately $4.4 million in cash after tax and transaction related expenses, as well as incur $0.6 million in exit costs associated with this transaction. Exit costs associated with the vivoPharm business are expected to be paid by March 31, 2023. The Company continues to operate its vivoPharm Australia subsidiary, RDDT a vivoPharm Company Pty Ltd (“RDDT”), which is held for sale.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 14, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in the range of one for five to one for fifteen shares. On October 18, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Reverse Split of one for five shares effective November 1, 2022. As a result of the reverse split, every 5 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding were converted into one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock instead received cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the average of the closing sales prices of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the five trading days immediately prior to November 1, 2022. The reverse split did not reduce the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) or change the par values of the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The Reverse Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s shares of Common Stock (except to the extent that the reverse split would result in some of the stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares). All outstanding common stock options, warrants and restricted stock units entitling their holders to receive or purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock have been adjusted as a result of the reverse split, as required by the terms of each security. All historical share and per share amounts presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reverse Split.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts and wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.
No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2022 year.
Dollar amounts in tables are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars.
