Note 3 – Recent Developments, Liquidity and Management’s Plans

Closing of the Merger and Reverse Stock Split

On April 16, 2021, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated November 11, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated March 16, 2021 (the Original Merger Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MyMD, a New Jersey corporation previously known as Akers Biosciences, Inc., XYZ Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and MyMD Pharmaceuticals (Florida), Inc., a Florida corporation previously known as MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“MyMD Florida”), Merger Sub was merged with and into MyMD Florida, with MyMD Florida continuing after the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, without any action on the part of any stockholder, each issued and outstanding share of pre-Merger MyMD Florida’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “MyMD Florida Common Stock”), including shares underlying pre-Merger MyMD Florida’s outstanding equity awards, was converted into the right to receive (x) 0.7718 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Company Common Stock” or “Common Stock”), (y) an amount in cash, on a pro rata basis, equal to the aggregate cash proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of any options to purchase shares of MyMD Florida Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger assumed by the Company upon closing of the Merger prior to the second-year anniversary of the closing of the Merger (the “Option Exercise Period”), such payment (the “Additional Consideration”), and (z) potential milestone payment in shares of Company Common Stock up to the aggregate number of shares issued by the Company to pre-Merger MyMD Florida stockholders at the closing of the Merger (the “Milestone Payments”) payable upon the achievement of certain market capitalization milestone events (the “Milestone Events”) during the 36-month period immediately following the closing of the Merger (the “Milestone Period”). The Milestone Events and corresponding Milestone Payments are set forth in the table below.

 Summary of Milestone Events Payment

For purposes of the table above, “market capitalization” means, with respect to any trading day, the product of (i) the total outstanding shares of the combined company Common Stock and (ii) the volume weighted average trading price for the combined company Common Stock for such trading day.

Immediately following the effective time of the Merger, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Upon completion of the Merger and the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, (i) the former MyMD Florida equity holders owned approximately 77.05% of the outstanding equity of the Company on a fully diluted basis, assuming the exercise in full of the pre-funded warrants to purchase 986,486 shares of Company Common stock and including 4,188,315 shares of Company Common Stock underlying options to purchase shares of MyMD Florida Common Stock assumed by the company at closing and after adjustments based on the Company’s net cash at closing; and (ii) former Akers Biosciences, Inc. stockholders own approximately 22.95% of the outstanding equity of the Company.

Effective as of 4:05 pm Eastern Time on April 16, 2021, we filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, immediately following the effective time of the Merger, every two shares of our Common Stock held by a stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were combined and reclassified into one share of our Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Each stockholder who did not have a number of shares evenly divisible pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split ratio and who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of our Common Stock was entitled to receive an additional share of our Common Stock.

The February 2023 Offering

On February 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series F convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into up to 6,651,885 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $2.255 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 6,651,885 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) (collectively, the “February 2023 Offering”).

Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

The Preferred Shares will be convertible into Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $2.255 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). The Company will be required to redeem the Preferred Shares in 12 equal monthly installments, commencing on July 1, 2023. The amortization payments due upon such redemption are payable, at the company’s election, in cash, or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the thirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) a “Floor Price” of $0.22 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company may require holders to convert their Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $6.765 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds $3,000,000 per day during the same period and certain equity conditions described in the Certificate of Designation are satisfied.

The holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which will be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of Preferred Shares have no voting rights on account of the Preferred Shares, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares. During the three and six months ending June 30, 2023, the Company recorded dividends totaling $373,796 and $532,129, respectively, which are reported as Preferred Stock Dividends on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval. Further, the Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under, the Certificate of Designations or Warrants.

The Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Preferred Shares when due. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Preferred Shares will be able to require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Preferred Shares at a premium set forth in the Certificate of Designations.

The Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated at issuance the $3,149,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of our common stock of $1.90 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 120.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 190.0%, the time to maturity of 1.35 years, a discounted market interest rate of 6.8%, dividend rate of 10.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 0.5%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.

The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Preferred Shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total discount of $14,087,111 upon issuance of the Preferred Shares, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of $3,149,800, stock issuance costs of $314,311 and the fair value of the Warrants of $10,623,000. When it is deemed probable that the Preferred Shares will be redeemed, the Company will accrete the Preferred Shares to redemption amount pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $194,500 and $315,200 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. The Company estimated the $3,465,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at June 30, 2023 using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of our common stock of $1.50 on the valuation date, estimated equity volatility of 130.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 205.0%, the time to maturity of 1.0 years, a discounted market interest rate of 9.7%, dividend rate of 10.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 8.1%.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company made redeemed $2,500,000 of the Preferred Shares and $359,742 of accrued make-whole dividends by issuing 2,368,654 shares of the Company’s Common Stock through installment conversions and proportionately relieved $2,347,852 of discount related to the redeemed Preferred Shares.

Common Stock Warrants

Pursuant to the February 2023 Offering, the Company issued to investors Warrants to purchase 6,651,885 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.255 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The Warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 480-10 as they are puttable to the Company at Holders’ election upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreements). As such, the Company recorded the Warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of these warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value of the Warrants of $10,623,000 was estimated at the date of issuance using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; expected term of 5.0 years; equity volatility of 125.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.09%.

Transaction costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the Warrants of $762,834 were immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 480.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $1,635,000 and $2,810,000 related to the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. The fair value of the Warrants of $7,813,000 was estimated at June 30, 2023 utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; remaining term of 4.65 years; equity volatility of 120.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.19%.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash on hand was $93,823 and marketable securities were $11,533,432. The Company has incurred a net loss from operations of $6,228,985 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $10,713,907 and stockholders’ equity of $10,741,770 including an accumulated deficit of $99,970,418. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash flows used in operating activities were $7,891,517 consisting primarily of a net loss of $5,679,385, an increase in prepaid expenses of $949,973, a reduction in trade and other payables of $516,769 and a non-cash change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities of $2,810,000 offset by non-cash stock based compensation of $1,746,339 and non-cash change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities of $315,200. Since its inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the sale of its Common Stock in public and private placements.

The Company evaluated the current cash requirements for operations in conjunction with management’s strategic plan and believes that the Company’s current financial resources as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements are sufficient to fund its current operating budget and contractual obligations as of June 30, 2023 as they fall due within the next twelve-month period, alleviating any substantial doubt raised by the Company’s historical operating results and satisfying its estimated liquidity needs for twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
