Note 4 – Stockholders’ Equity

2018 Private Placement Transactions

Between May 15, 2018 and June 29, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,402,442 units in a private placement transaction at a purchase price equal to $2.27 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $3.2 million. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock for $2.724, subject to adjustment thereunder for a period of three years. The Company paid $167,526 to its placement agent and issued placement agent warrants to purchase up to 84,146 shares of common stock, with a three-year term, at an exercise price equal to $2.724. The issuance costs were charged against additional paid in capital.

On May 25, 2018, we entered into an Agreement with PoC Capital, LLC (“PoC”), where PoC has agreed to finance $1,800,000 in study costs associated with certain clinical studies, including our Phase 2a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacodynamics of PCS 499 in patients with Necrosis Lipoidica in exchange for 792,952 shares of our common stock and a warrant for the purchase of 792,952 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.724, expiring on July 29, 2021. Any study costs in excess of that amount will be our responsibility. PoC will not make payments to us, but directly to the contract research organization based on their invoices. We paid $108,000 to our placement agent and issued our placement agent warrants to purchase 47,578 shares of common stock, with a three-year term, at an exercise price equal to $2.724. The issuance costs were charged against additional paid in capital.

The Company also entered into a pledge agreement with PoC, under which the Company received a security interest for 396,476 shares, or half the shares we issued to them and we are holding these shares as collateral. These shares will be released in two tranches of 198,238 shares each, with each tranche released upon PoC making payments totaling $720,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have made payments to our CRO of $239,129, including the prepayment of certain amounts, all of which will be repaid to us by PoC.

The common stock, but not the warrants, issued for the 2018 Private Placement Transactions and the conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes have, subject to certain customary exceptions, full ratchet anti-dilution protection. Until the Company has issued equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities for a total of an additional $20.0 million in cash or assets, including the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants issued above, in the event we issue additional equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities at a purchase price less than $2.27 per share of common stock, the above purchase prices shall be adjusted and new shares of common stock issued as if the purchase price was such lower amount (or, if such additional securities are issued without consideration, to a price equal to $0.01 per share).

The Company completed an evaluation of the warrants issued in the 2018 Private Placement Transactions and determined the warrants should be classified as equity.

Purchase of the CoNCERT License

On March 19, 2018, Promet, Processa and CoNCERT amended the Agreement executed in October 2017. The Agreement was assigned to Processa and Processa exercised the exclusive option for the PCS-499 compound in exchange for CoNCERT receiving, in part, $8 million of common stock of the Company that was owned directly by Promet (2,090,301 shares at $3.83 per share) in satisfaction of the obligation due for the exclusive license for PCS-499 acquired by Processa. There was no change in the total shares issued and outstanding of 35,272,626, however, Promet’s controlling interest was reduced from 90% to 84%. Promet contributed the payment of the obligation due for the exclusive license to the Company without consideration paid to them. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized an exclusive license intangible asset with a fair value of $8 million and an offsetting increase in additional paid-in capital resulting from Promet satisfying Processa’s liability to CoNCERT (see Note 2 Intangible Asset for the income tax effect of this transaction).
