| b) | each share of Legacy Celularity Common Stock or Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock (together, “Legacy Celularity Capital Stock”) held in the treasury of Celularity was cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was made with respect thereto; |
| c) | each share of First Merger Sub common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation; |
| d) | each Legacy Celularity Warrant (as to which no notice of exercise had been delivered to Legacy Celularity prior to the Closing) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and which would have otherwise been exercisable in accordance with its terms immediately following the Effective Time), became, to the extent consistent with the terms of such Legacy Celularity Warrant, the right to purchase shares of Company Class A Common Stock (and not Celularity Capital Stock) (each, a “Converted Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to such Legacy Celularity Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) each Converted Warrant became exercisable for that number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (1) the number of shares of Legacy Celularity Common Stock that would have been issuable upon the exercise of a Legacy Celularity Warrant for cash and assuming the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock underlying such outstanding Legacy Celularity Warrant into Legacy Celularity Common Stock (the “Celularity Warrant Shares”) subject to the Legacy Celularity Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (2) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below); and (B) the per share exercise price for each share of Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Converted Warrant is equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (1) the per share exercise price for each share of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of such Celularity Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below); and |
| e) | each option to purchase Legacy Celularity Common Stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Legacy Celularity Option”) was assumed by GX and converted into an option to purchase shares of Company Class A Common Stock (each, a “Converted Option”). |
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Under this method of accounting, GX was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on existing Legacy Celularity stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of the combined company, Legacy Celularity’s operations prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of Celularity, the majority of Celularity’s board of directors appointment by Legacy Celularity, and Legacy Celularity’s senior management comprising a majority of the senior management of Celularity. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity represented a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Celularity with the business combination being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Celularity issuing stock for the net assets of GX, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Company recorded net assets of GX at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the business combination are those of Legacy Celularity. Reported shares and earnings per share available to holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the
exchange ratio established in the business combination (1.00 share of Legacy Celularity for approximately 0.7686 shares of Celularity Class A Common Stock).
Net proceeds from this transaction totaled $108,786. These proceeds were comprised of $5,386 held in GX’s trust account, $83,400 received from the completion of a concurrent private investment in public equity financing (“PIPE Financing”) and $20,000 received from an investment by Palantir Technologies, Inc. (“Palantir”). The Company incurred $21,658 in transaction costs relating to the merger with GX of which $10,795 were satisfied by the issuance of Class A Common Stock, which has been offset against additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the existing stockholders of Legacy Celularity exchanged their interests for shares of Class A Common Stock of Celularity. In addition, GX had previously issued public warrants and private placement warrants (collectively, the “GX Warrants”) as part of the Units in its IPO in May 2019 None of the terms of the GX Warrants were modified as a result of the Business Combination. On the date of the Business Combination, the Company recorded a liability related to the GX Warrants of $59,202, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the fair value of the GX Warrants decreased to $46,894, resulting in an expense reduction of $20,932 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Legacy Celularity warrants qualified for equity classification. As a result, the transaction date fair value of the Legacy Celularity warrants of $96,398 was reclassified from warrant liability to additional paid-in capital (see Note 4).
Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 122,487,174 shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 issued and outstanding, options to purchase an aggregate of 21,723,273 shares of Class A Common Stock and 42,686,195 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock.
PIPE Financing (Private Placement)
On the Closing Date, certain significant stockholders of Legacy Celularity or their affiliates (including Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), Starr International Investments Ltd. and Dragasac Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Genting Berhad, collectively, the “Subscribers”) purchased from Celularity an aggregate of 8,340,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $83,400, pursuant to separate subscription agreements dated January 8, 2021 (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to provide the Subscribers with certain registration rights with respect to the PIPE Shares.
Arrangement with Palantir Technologies Inc.
