Panoptes Pharma Ges.m.b.H. Acquisition

Effective December 18, 2020, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Panoptes Pharma Ges.m.b.H. (“Panoptes”), a privately held clinical stage biotech company focused on developing a novel proprietary small molecule for the treatment of severe eye diseases with a high unmet medical need, as well as for conditions outside the ocular space. With the Panoptes Acquisition, Panoptes became a wholly owned subsidiary of EyeGate. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, "Business Combinations", with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Under the terms of the Panoptes Acquisition agreement, in consideration for 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Panoptes, the Company paid cash in the amount of $444,504 to certain founders and creditors, issued 884,222 shares of EyeGate common stock, and issued 45.8923 shares (convertible into 13,000 shares of common stock) of EyeGate Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. An additional cash payment is due to a creditor in December 2021 and is recorded at a fair value of $212,281 at the acquisition date.

Additionally, up to 1,500 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 424,685 shares of common stock) will be issued after a period of 18 months, subject to post-closing adjustments or indemnification obligations, and are recorded as contingent consideration and fair valued at $1,353,424 at the acquisition date.

The Panoptes Acquisition also includes two cash or stock earn-out provisions providing for an additional cash or stock payment of $4,750,000 per milestone contingent upon (1) the enrollment and randomization of a first patient into the first FDA Phase III pivotal study of a Panoptes product and (2) the FDA approval of the first New Drug Application of a Panoptes product. The cash or stock earn-out payments were recorded as contingent consideration and fair valued at $2,067,245 at the acquisition date.

The fair value of the shares issued in the Panoptes Acquisition was approximately $3.169 million based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg on the closing date of the acquisition, or $3.5321 per share.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation and the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Panoptes Acquisition at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation for Panoptes is preliminary pending completion of the fair value analysis of acquired assets and liabilities:

(1)Current Assets include cash, receivables, and prepaid expenses of $333,860,  $73,368, and $3,635, respectively.

Net loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 includes net losses of Panoptes from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2020 of $0.034 million. The company’s intangible assets, which consist solely of in-process research and development, will not be amortized until the underlying development programs are completed. Upon obtaining regulatory approval, the Intangible assets are then accounted for as finite-lived intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

EyeGate recognized approximately $0.414 million of acquisition-related costs for the Panoptes Acquisition that were expensed in the current period as a component of general and administrative expense.
