| Asset Acquisition | Note 3. Asset Acquisition Acquisition of Orphai Therapeutics On May 18, 2026, the Company acquired Orphai pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 17, 2026 (the "Merger Agreement"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, following closing of the Orphai Acquisition, the Company issued to holders of Orphai, an aggregate of (i) 162,971 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 67,101.235 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 52 shares of common stock, as adjusted for the June 2026 Reverse Stock Split, subject to certain conditions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, options to purchase Orphai common stock were assumed by the Company and were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 1,308,804 shares of common stock, which options are subject to exercise restrictions prior to obtaining approval during a special meeting of stockholders. In addition, the Company issued to holders of Orphai warrants (the "Acquisition Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 10,964.505 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or 570,169 shares on an as-converted-to-common basis, and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations), at an exercise price of $996.90 per share of Series C Preferred Stock (or $19.17 per share on an as-converted-to-common basis, as adjusted for the June 2026 Reverse Stock Split). On May 18, 2026, concurrent with the Orphai Acquisition, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "May 2026 Securities Purchase Agreement") for a private placement financing with new and returning investors to raise up to $187.0 million in gross proceeds, which includes $115.0 million in upfront proceeds and up to an additional approximately $72.0 million upon exercise of accompanying warrants, in which the investors were issued approximately 144,200.633 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (convertible into an aggregate of 7,498,447 shares of common stock, without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations) at a price of $797.50 per share, and accompanying warrants (the "Financing Warrants") to purchase up to 72,100.322 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (or 3,749,231 shares, on an as-converted-to-common basis and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations) at an exercise price of $996.90 per share (or $19.17 per share on an as-converted-to-common basis) (the "May 2026 Financing"). For additional information relating to the May 2026 Financing, see Notes 4, 9, 10, and 11 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Orphai Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition as Orphai did not meet the definition of a business under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) as substantially all of its value was in the IPR&D asset. Accordingly, the acquired net assets and assumed net liabilities of Orphai are recorded as of the Orphai Acquisition closing date at their fair value. The Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Orphai Acquisition. Orphai was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as it was insufficiently capitalized to fund future operations, where the Company is the primary beneficiary. As such, the acquisition costs of $2.1 million were expensed and not capitalized as part of the purchase price in accordance with ASC 805. In addition, the excess of the consideration transferred, and the fair value of the net asset acquired, IPR&D, and net liabilities assumed were recorded as an asset acquisition loss and included in the gain on Orphai Acquisition line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred of $56.9 million (in thousands):
(a) The fair value of consideration transferred was based on 162,971 shares of Common Stock issued multiplied by the closing price of Quince common stock on the acquisition date of May 18, 2026.
(b) The fair value of 67,101.235 shares of Series C Preferred Stock was based on the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock issued in the May 2026 Financing. For additional information, see Note 9 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
(c) The fair value of the warrants issued was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Quince issued 10,964.505 warrants of Series C Preferred Stock. For additional information, see Note 11 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
(d) Each outstanding and unexercised option award to purchase shares of Orphai common stock was converted into an option award in respect of a number of shares of common stock of the Company. The calculation of consideration transferred includes the portion of the fair-value-based measure of the acquiree awards that relates to the pre-combination service period. The excess value of the replacement Quince awards as well as the fair-value-based measure of the acquiree award related to the post combination service period will be recorded as post combination compensation cost over the remaining service term.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded to gain on acquisition (in thousands):
(e) IPR&D represents the research and development projects of Orphai which were in-process, but not yet completed, and which the Company plans to advance. The fair value of IPR&D projects acquired in an asset acquisition with no alternative future use are allocated a portion of the consideration transferred and charged to expenses at the acquisition date. |
