On July 23, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Brian M. Strem, Ph.D. as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of July 26, 2021. In connection with the appointment of Dr. Strem, Franz Obermayr, Ph.D., who served as the Company’s Acting Chief Executive Officer since February 2021, resumed his prior role with the Company as its EVP Clinical Development.

On July 22, 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Bayon. Dr. Strem is a founder of Bayon and owns approximately 28% of its equity interests. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company and Bayon intend to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire Bayon in connection for closing consideration of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and potential earnout consideration of up to approximately $7.1 million or, at the Company’s discretion, up to approximately 2.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock or common stock equivalents, based on the achievement of successive milestones based on clinical trial data and regulatory approval of Bayon products. To the extent the Bayon acquisition is consummated, Dr. Strem will receive a portion of the consideration equal to his percentage ownership in Bayon. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated at all or on the terms described above.
