In January 2025, the Company received approximately $2.1 million from the partial exercise of existing Series B warrants for the issuance of 740,000 shares of common stock from the July 2023 Registered Direct Offering with an exercise price of $2.84 per share. The remainder of the Series B warrants from the July 2023 Registered Direct Offering expired without exercise.

On March 9, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sun Pharma” or “Parent”), and Snoopy Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock and each share of Class A common stock of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”) (including each Unvested Company Restricted Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive (i) $4.10 in cash, without interest, and (ii) one non-tradable contingent value right (a “CVR”), which will represent the right to receive a contingent cash payment of up to $0.70 upon the achievement of a specified milestone, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in a Contingent Value Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), in each case subject to applicable withholding taxes. This implies a total transaction value of up to approximately $416 million as of the date hereof. The Merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of or prior to the Effective Time, Parent and a rights agent (the “Rights Agent”) will enter into the CVR Agreement governing the terms of the CVRs issued in connection with the Merger. The Rights Agent will maintain an up-to-date register of the holders of CVRs (the “Holders”). Holders shall not be permitted to transfer the CVRs (subject to certain limited exceptions as set forth in the CVR Agreement).

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent and Fortress. Under the terms of the Support Agreement, Fortress has agreed to, among other things, during the term of the Support Agreement, (i) vote its Shares that it owns of record or beneficially, as well as any additional Shares it may acquire (the “Covered Shares”) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and against any acquisition proposal or any action, proposal, agreement, transaction or arrangement that is intended, or would reasonably expected, to result in a material breach of a covenant, representation or warranty or any obligation of the Company under the Merger Agreement or any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or satisfied, (ii) not transfer any of its Covered Shares (subject to certain exceptions) and (iii) waive and not to exercise any appraisal rights in respect of such Covered Shares that may arise with respect to the Merger and not to commence or participate in, any class action or legal action (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of any provision of the Merger Agreement or (b) with respect to claims against the Company Board, or any committee thereof, Parent of Merger Sub relating to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Under the Support Agreement, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, Fortress also agreed to forgo any further payment, dividend or distribution, or issuance or transfer of securities by the Company on or after the date of the Support Agreement pursuant to the Amended and Restated Founders Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2016, as amended (the “Founders Agreement”) between Fortress and the Company and certain other agreements between Fortress and the Company. The Support Agreement further provides that effective immediately prior to, but conditioned upon the closing of the Merger, the Founders Agreement shall be terminated.

Additionally, in connection with the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”), dated as of March 9, 2025, with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Armistice”). Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the Company and Armistice agreed (i) to, immediately prior to the Effective Time, amend all outstanding Company Warrants held by or issued to Armistice or any of its affiliates other than the Specified Warrant (the “Armistice Warrants”) to provide that each such Armistice Warrant that remains outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time will automatically be converted into the right to receive the Warrant Consideration, and (ii) that at the Effective Time, to the extent that any portion of that certain warrant to purchase 5,853,659 Shares, dated as of July 2, 2024 (the “Specified Warrant”), remains outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time, the Specified Warrant will be converted into the right of Armistice to receive, for each Share underlying the Specified Warrant, a cash payment equal to $3.62. The Warrant Amendment also provides that Armistice will not be entitled to transfer the Armistice Warrants prior to the Effective Time unless the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Time.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Parent and Fortress pursuant to which following, and subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Time, Fortress will receive a royalty interest right based on worldwide net sales of certain products of the Company and Parent. The royalty interest right represents the right to receive quarterly cash payments of 2.5% of net sales of such products during the time period set forth in the Royalty Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Fortress will enter into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”), pursuant to which, from and after the Effective Time, Fortress would provide the Company with certain transition services as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, for the period of time and in exchange for the compensation set forth therein.

In March 2025, the Company received approximately $36.0 million from the exercise of warrants for the issuance of 21,691,003 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $1.66 per share.
