1.     Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Celularity Inc., (“Celularity” or the “Company”), formerly known as GX Acquisition Corp. (“GX”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 24, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On July 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated January 8, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GX, Alpha First Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX (“First Merger Sub”), Celularity LLC (f/k/a Alpha Second Merger Sub LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of GX (“Second Merger Sub”), and the entity formerly known as Celularity Inc., incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 29, 2016 (“Legacy Celularity”). Upon completion of the merger transaction GX changed its name to Celularity Inc. The business combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (see Note 3).

Description of Business

Celularity is a clinical-stage biotechnology company leading the next evolution in cellular medicine by developing off-the-shelf placental-derived allogeneic T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) T cells, natural killer (“NK”) cells and mesenchymal-like adherent stromal cells (“MLASCs”), targeting indications across cancer, infectious and degenerative diseases. Celularity is headquartered in Florham Park, NJ. Legacy Celularity acquired Anthrogenesis Corporation (“Anthrogenesis”) in August 2017 from Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”), a global biotechnology company that merged with Bristol Myers Squibb Company. Previously, Anthrogenesis operated as Celgene Cellular Therapeutics, Celgene’s cell therapy division. Celularity currently has three active clinical trials and intends to work with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to resolve its questions on an investigational new drug application (“IND”) it submitted in the first quarter of 2022 before commencing an additional clinical trial.

The Celularity IMPACT platform capitalizes on the benefits of placenta-derived cells to target multiple diseases, and provides seamless integration, from bio sourcing through manufacturing cryopreserved and packaged allogeneic cells at its purpose-built U.S.-based 147,215 square foot facility. Celularity’s placental-derived cells are allogeneic, meaning they are intended for use in any patient, as compared to autologous cells, which are derived from an individual patient for that patient’s use. From a single source material, the postpartum human placenta, Celularity derives four allogeneic cell types: T cells, unmodified NK cells, genetically-modified NK cells and MLASCs, which have resulted in five key cell therapeutic programs: CYCART-19, CYNK-001, CYNK-101, APPL-001 and PDA-002, focused on six initial indications. CYCART-19 is a placental-derived CAR-T cell therapy, in development for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, initially targeting the CD19 receptor. CYNK-001 is a placental-derived unmodified NK cell in development for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”), a blood cancer, and for glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), a solid tumor cancer. CYNK-101 is a placental-derived genetically modified NK cell in development, to be evaluated in combination with a monoclonal antibody to target HER2+ cancers, such as gastric cancer. APPL-001 is a placenta-derived MLASC being developed for the treatment of Crohn’s disease.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional approval prior to commercialization, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

COVID-19

On March 10, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The virus and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had, and are expected to continue to have, a broad adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical areas in which the Company operates and conducts its business and which the Company’s partners operate and conduct their business. The Company is currently following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members and visitors. However, the scale and scope of this pandemic is unknown and the duration of the business disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. While management has implemented specific business continuity plans to reduce the potential impact of COVID-19, there is no guarantee that the Company’s continuity plans will be successful.

Although the Company was able to operate continuously since the pandemic began, the Company implemented work-from-home policies as needed following local health recommendations for non-essential employees and employees whose roles are able to be

performed remotely. Because certain elements of the Company’s operations (such as processing placental tissue, certain biological assays, translational research and storage of cord blood) cannot be performed remotely, the Company instituted controls and protocols including mandatory temperature checking, symptom assessment forms, incremental cleaning and sanitization of common surfaces to mitigate risks to employees.

Due to a broad decline in economic activity and restrictions on physical access to certain medical facilities, the Company did experience a decrease in the net revenues of its degenerative disease business due to the pandemic in 2021. As for clinical trials, the Company did not cancel or postpone enrollment solely due to the risks of COVID-19. However, enrollment in the clinical trial evaluating CYNK-001 for AML experienced some delays in the first half of 2020 as sites assessed their safety protocols and experienced high volumes of COVID-19 patients. Enrollment has continued in the AML trial and remains ongoing. As a result, during 2020 the Company had a year-over-year increase in research and development expenses notwithstanding the enrollment delays. The Company also initiated a clinical trial evaluating CYNK-001 in patients with COVID-19, which necessitated additional research and development and project management resources. The Company believes that it would have deployed its human and capital resources to other efforts, such as its CYCART-19 clinical development program, had the COVID-19 pandemic not struck.

COVID-19 did not have a material negative impact on oncology clinical trial patient accrual rates during 2021. However, screenings and enrollments in the COVID-19 trial were lower once vaccines became more widely available. During 2021, Celularity continued to utilize mandatory temperature checking and symptom assessment forms and, commencing with the third quarter of 2021, instituted additional safety protocols for unvaccinated employees. Celularity also utilized a liaison to help schedule vaccination appointments for employees.

The extent to which COVID-19 or any other health epidemic may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Going Concern

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Since its inception, Legacy Celularity funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the sales of preferred stock as well as revenues generated through its biobanking and degenerative disease commercial operations. The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $62,867 and $100,118 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $722,552. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2022, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company is seeking additional funding through public or private equity and/or debt financings. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders.

Based on its recurring losses from operations incurred since inception, expectation of continuing operating losses for the foreseeable future, and need to raise additional capital to finance its future operations, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all financial information that, in the opinion of management, is necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

6

---

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules for the presentation of interim financial statements, which permit certain disclosures to be condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2022, and its results of operations, statement of changes in stockholder’s equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The interim financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, assumptions related to the Company’s goodwill and intangible impairment assessment, the valuation of inventory, of contingent consideration and contingent stock consideration, determination of incremental borrowing rates, accrual of research and development expenses, and the valuations of stock options and preferred stock warrants. The Company based its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

•        Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•        Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•        Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

Leases

In accordance with ASU 2016-02, the Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company will determine whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year will be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets (“ROU”), lease liabilities, and if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company includes renewal options to extend the lease in the lease term where it is reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. Lease liabilities and the corresponding ROU are recorded based on the present values of lease payments over the terms. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates that would be incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis, over similar terms, amounts equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Variable payments that do not depend on a rate or index are not included in the lease liability and are recognized as incurred. Lease contracts do not include residual value guarantees nor do they include restrictions or other covenants. Certain adjustments to ROUs may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid, incentives received, or lease prepayments. If significant events, changes in circumstances, or other events indicate that the lease term or other inputs have changed, the Company would reassess lease classification, remeasure the lease liability using revised inputs as of the reassessment date, and adjust the ROU.

7

---

 

The Company has elected the “package of 3” practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also adopted an accounting policy which provides that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and no purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain of exercising will not be included within the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Refer to Note 8 for further information.

Net Loss per Share

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, prior to the use of the two-class method, as they would be anti-dilutive:

 

 

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation of three distinct businesses segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease and BioBanking. These segments are presented for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 in Note 15.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company is subject to credit risk from trade accounts receivable related to both degenerative disease product sales and biobanking services. All trade accounts receivables are a result from product sales and services performed in the United States. As of December 31, 2021, one of the Company’s customers comprised approximately 47% of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2022, no single customer provided more than 10% of Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable. No single customer provided 10% or more of the revenue earned during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act of 1933, as amended, registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less may be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and did not restate comparative periods. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed it to carry forward the historical lease classification. Refer to Note 8 for further information on the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of $15,678 and $30,399, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2022, the date the new standard was adopted, were used to calculate the present value of the Company’s lease portfolio as of that date. Leases previously identified as build-to-suit leases were derecognized pursuant to the transition guidance provided for build-to-suit leases in ASC 2016-02. The impact of the derecognition of the build-to-suit lease was a net reduction of $3,996 to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2022. The standard did not materially impact the consolidated net losses or operating cash flows.

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains equity-classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022 and considered this guidance when evaluating the amendment of the Company’s warrants in March 2022 (See Note 10.)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, (Subtopic 470-20): Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASU 2020-06”) to address the complexity associated with applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 (fiscal year 2024 for the Company), including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the impact of ASU 2020-06 to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal year 2023 for the Company), and interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.     Business Combinations

On July 16, 2021, the Company consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, by and among GX, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Legacy Celularity (see Note 1).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between GX and Legacy Celularity was effected through the (a) merger of First Merger Sub with and into Legacy Celularity with Legacy Celularity surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GX (Legacy Celularity, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the merger, the “Surviving Corporation”) (the “First Merger”) and

9

---

 

(b) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, which ultimately resulted in Legacy Celularity becoming a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of GX (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, the Company changed its name from GX Acquisition Corp. to Celularity Inc.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), each share of preferred stock of Legacy Celularity (the “Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock”) that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of Legacy Celularity, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Legacy Celularity Common Stock”) at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Legacy Celularity, dated March 16, 2020, as amended (the “Legacy Celularity Charter”), such that each converted share of Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock was no longer outstanding and ceased to exist, and each holder of Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock thereafter ceased to have any rights with respect to such securities (the “Legacy Celularity Preferred Stock Conversion”).

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of GX, First Merger Sub, Legacy Celularity or the holders of any of the following securities:

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

10

---

 

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.

Pursuant to the subscription agreement entered into by GX with Palantir on May 5, 2021, Palantir purchased 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $20,000, upon closing of the Business Combination and closing of the PIPE financing.

4.     Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:

 

11

---

 

 

 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

The Company’s cash equivalents consisted of money market funds. The money market fund was valued using inputs observable in active markets for similar securities, which represents a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred revenue and other current liabilities approximate fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

Valuation of Contingent Consideration

The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted income approach. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

 

The fair value of the liability to make potential future milestone and earn-out payments was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based, in part, on the results of a third-party valuation using a discounted cash flow analysis based on various assumptions, including the probability of achieving specified events, discount rates, and the period of time until earn-out payments are payable and the conditions triggering the milestone payments are met. The actual settlement of contingent consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual occurrence of these specified events.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various contingent consideration obligations. The Company has classified all of the contingent consideration as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance

sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See Note 9, “Commitment and Contingencies”, for more information on contingent consideration.

Valuation of Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

The warrant liability at March 31, 2022 is composed of the fair value of warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. The private placement warrants assumed upon the Business Combination (the “Sponsor Warrants”) were recorded at the Closing Date fair value based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes inputs for: (i) value of the underlying asset, (ii) the exercise price, (iii) the risk-free rate, (iv) the volatility of the underlying asset, (v) the dividend yield of the underlying asset and (vi) maturity. The Black-Scholes option pricing model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Sponsor Warrants is the expected volatility of the Class A Common Stock. Inputs to the Black-Sholes option pricing model for the Sponsor Warrants are updated each reporting period to reflect fair value. The public warrants assumed upon the Business Combination (the “Public Warrants”) were recorded at the closing date fair value based on the close price of such warrants. Each subsequent reporting period, the Public Warrants are marked-to-market based on the period-end close price.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the warrant liabilities was $46,894 and $25,962, respectively. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the estimated remaining term of the warrants.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair values of the Company’s warrant liabilities for which fair values are determined using Level 3 inputs:

 

       

The fair value of the Public Warrants was $19,694 and $12,362 as of  March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, based on the publicly stated closing price. The fair value of the Sponsor Warrants was $27,200 and $13,600 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Significant inputs for the Sponsor Warrants are as follows:

Valuation of the Convertible Note Receivable

The convertible note receivable was received in connection with the disposition of the UltraMIST/MIST business in 2020. At any time on or after January 1, 2021, at the sole discretion of the Company, amounts outstanding under the convertible note receivable (including accrued interest) may be converted into Sanuwave common stock at a defined rate. The convertible promissory note was to be paid on or before August 6, 2021, however, remains outstanding in full at March 31, 2021 As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company utilized Level 3 inputs on a probability weighted model based on outcomes of a default, repayment and conversion

of the note. The measurement is based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

Significant inputs for the convertible note valuation model are as follows:

 

Valuation of the Contingent Stock Consideration

The contingent stock consideration liability at March 31, 2022, is comprised of the fair value of potential future issuance of Class A Common Stock to CariCord participating shareholders pursuant to a settlement agreement signed during the year ended December 31, 2021 (see Note 9). The fair value measurement of the contingent stock consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 inputs and is based on a probability-weighted expected return methodology (“PWERM”). The measurement is largely based upon unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity based on the Company’s own assumptions.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent stock consideration obligation measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

 

The fair value of the liability to issue future shares of Class A Common Stock was estimated by the Company at each reporting date based on the results of a third-party valuation using a PWERM based on various inputs and assumptions, including the Company’s common share price, discount rates, and the probability of achieving specified future operational targets. The actual settlement of contingent stock consideration could differ from current estimates based on the actual achievement of these specified targets and movements in the Company’s common share price.

At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent stock consideration obligation to estimated fair value and records changes in fair value as income or expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration obligation may result from changes in discount rates, changes in the Company’s common share price, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified operational targets. The Company has classified all of the contingent stock consideration as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies”, for more information on contingent stock consideration.

5.     Inventory

The Company’s major classes of inventories were as follows:

 

 

Inventory, net of current portion includes inventory expected to remain on hand beyond one year in both periods.

 

6.     Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, depreciation expense was $1,743 and $1,395, respectively.

7.     Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

The carrying values of goodwill assigned to the Company’s operating segments are as follows:

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets, net consisted of the following:

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, amortization expense for intangible assets was $541 and $541, respectively.

 

No impairment charges were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Lease Agreements

As discussed in Note 2, on January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-06 issued by the FASB related to leases that outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the current lease guidance. The Company adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition method. As a result, comparative prior periods in the Company’s financial statements are not adjusted for the impacts of the new standard.

Adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $15,690 and $30,412, respectively, as of January 1, 2022. Incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2022, the date the new standard was adopted, were used to calculate the present value of the Company’s lease portfolio as of that date. Leases previously identified as build-to-suit leases were derecognized pursuant to the transition guidance provided for build-to-suit leases in ASU 2016-02. The impact of the derecognition of the build-to-suit lease was a net reduction of $3,996 to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2022. The standard did not materially impact the consolidated net losses or operating cash flows.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the appropriate discount rate by multiple asset classes. Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or that result from changes to an index subsequent to the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability are not included in the measurement of lease ROU assets or liabilities and instead are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise any such options. Lease expense is recognized on a straight‐line basis over the expected lease term. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the respective lease period and has recorded deferred rent for rent expense incurred but not yet paid. Rent expense was $983 and $708 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 On March 13, 2019, Legacy Celularity entered into a lease agreement for a 147,215 square foot facility consisting of office, manufacturing and laboratory space in Florham Park, New Jersey, which expires in 2036. The Company has the option to renew the term of the lease for two additional five-year terms so long as the lease is then in full force and effect. The lease term commenced on

16

---

 

March 1, 2020 subject to an abatement of the fixed rent for the first 13 months following the lease commencement date. The initial monthly base rent is approximately $230 and will increase annually. The Company is obligated to pay real estate taxes and costs related to the premises, including costs of operations, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the new leased premises. In connection with entering into this lease agreement, Legacy Celularity issued a letter of credit of $14,722 which is classified as restricted cash (non-current) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The lease agreement allows for a landlord provided tenant improvement allowance of $14,722 to be applied to the costs of the construction of the leasehold improvements.

The Company is not the legal owner of the leased space. However, in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, the Company was deemed to be the owner of the leased space, including the building shell, during the construction period because of the Company’s expected level of direct financial and operational involvement in the substantial tenant improvement. As discussed in Note 2, leases previously identified as build-to-suit leases were derecognized pursuant to the transition guidance provided for build-to-suit leases in ASU 2016-02.

The impact of the adoption of ASC 842 is as follows:

 

The components of the Company’s lease costs are classified on its condensed consolidated statement of operations as follows:

 

 

The table below shows the cash and non-cash activity related to the Company’s lease liabilities during the period:

As of March 31, 2022, the maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities were as follows:

 

As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating leases was 24.0 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the lease liability for operating leases was 9.99%.

Disclosures related to periods prior to adoption of ASU 2016-06

As discussed above, the Company adoption ASC 2016-06 effective January 1, 2022 using a modified retrospective approach.  As required, the following disclosure is provided for periods prior to adoption.  The Company’s total future minimum annual rentals in effect at December 31, 2021 for non-cancelable operating leases, which were accounted for under the previous leasing standard, ASC 840, were as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

Contingent Consideration Related to Business Combinations

In connection with Legacy Celularity’s acquisition of HLI Cellular Therapeutics, LLC and Anthrogenesis, the Company has agreed to pay future consideration to the sellers upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. As a result, the Company recorded $237,071 and $232,222 as contingent consideration as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. See Note 4 for further discussion.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and its executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc.

On May 5, 2021, Legacy Celularity executed a Master Subscription Agreement with Palantir under which it will pay $40,000 over five years for access to Palantir’s Foundry platform along with certain professional services. The Company will utilize Palantir’s Foundry platform to secure deeper insights into data obtained from the Company’s discovery and process development, as well as manufacturing and biorepository operations. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company paid its first annual fee of $6,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded costs of $2,000 on a straight-line basis related to this agreement, which was included as a component of research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. 

Sirion License Agreement

In December 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Sirion License”) with Sirion Biotech GmbH (“Sirion”). Under the Sirion License, Sirion granted the Company a license related to patent rights and know-how associated with poloxamers (“Licensed Product”). As part of the Sirion License, the Company will pay Sirion $136 as an upfront fee, a $113 annual maintenance fee and may owe up to $5,099 related to clinical and regulatory milestones for each Licensed Product during the term. The Company also agreed to pay Sirion low-single digit royalties on net sales on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis and until the later of: (i) expiration of the last to expire valid claim of the patents covering such Licensed Product, and (ii) 10 years after first Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product. In addition, the Sirion License is subject to termination rights including for termination for material breach and by the Company for convenience upon 30 days written notice.

Legal Proceedings

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.

On March 24, 2021, CTH Biosourcing LLC (“CTH”) filed a petition and request for disclosure in the District Court of Travis County, Texas seeking declaratory relief challenging Legacy Celularity’s for-cause termination of a Tissue Procurement Agreement (“TPA”). During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a tri-party settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with CTH and the CariCord participating shareholders, as interested parties, in which the Company agreed to amend the TPA in exchange for a full release of all claims underlying the aforementioned litigation. In addition, the Company issued 743,771 shares of Celularity Class A Common Stock to the CariCord participating shareholders, with an estimated fair value of $5,333 in exchange for a full release.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the CariCord participating shareholders are entitled to receive up to an additional 371,885 shares of Celularity Class A Common Stock if certain procurement targets are met by CTH under the TPA during a specified period of two years from the effective date of the Settlement Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, these procurement targets were not probable of being achieved. As of March 31, 2022, the Company considered it probable that certain procurement targets would be met under the Settlement Agreement, resulting in a liability with an estimated fair value of $1,570 (see Note 4). Due to changes in the Company’s common share price and the contingent nature of these procurement targets, the Company cannot predict the amount of such potential issuances. 

10.     Equity

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue 730,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value Class A Common Stock.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

19

---

 

In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of the Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to common stock.

Election of Directors

The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term, except with respect to the election of directors at the special meeting held in connection with the merger with GX, Class I directors are elected to an initial one-year term (and three-year terms subsequently), the Class II directors are elected to an initial two-year term (and three-year terms subsequently) and the Class III directors are elected to an initial three-year term (and three-year terms subsequently). There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Company’s board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Company’s board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Celularity or the removal of existing management. As of March 31, 2022, the Company does not have any outstanding preferred stock.

Warrants

On March 1, 2022, Celularity and certain of the related party investors amended and restated the investors’ respective Legacy Celularity Warrants (the “A&R Warrants”) to (i) reduce the exercise price per share from $7.53 per share to $3.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the A&R Warrants, (ii) remove the transfer restrictions set forth in the A&R Warrants, and (iii) make other changes reflecting the impact of the business combination. In conjunction with the amendment, those investors exercised 13,281,386 of the A&R Warrants in exchange for 13,281,386 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for gross proceeds of $46,485. The Company accounted for the amendment as a cost to issue equity with the incremental fair value of $15,985 related to the amendment recognized as an offset to the proceeds received. However, because these were equity classified warrants, the net impact to the condensed consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) was zero.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 29,494,809 outstanding warrants to purchase Class A common stock. A summary of the warrants is as follows:

 

 

*        The exercise price is the lessor of $6.77 per share or 80% of either (i) the value attributed to one share of Legacy Celularity Series B Preferred Stock upon consummation of a change in control or the closing of a strategic transaction or (ii) the price at which one share of common stock is sold to the public market in an initial public offering.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (excluding the Sponsor Warrants), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

The Sponsor Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the units sold in GX’s initial public offering, except that the Sponsor Warrants and the common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Sponsor Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Sponsor Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.           

Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of Class A common shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. The Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants are liability classified and the changes in their fair value are recognized on the statements of operations. See Note 4 for further details.

 

11.     Stock-Based Compensation

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In July 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants.

The number of shares of Class A Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan is 20,915,283. As of March 31, 2022, 14,018,435 shares remain available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, for a period of 10 years, from January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2031, by 4% of the total number of shares of Celularity capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors. Shares subject to stock awards granted under the 2021 Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Additionally, shares issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2021 Plan that are repurchased or forfeited, as well as shares that are reacquired as consideration for the exercise or purchase price of a stock award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to a stock award, will become available for future grant under the 2021 Plan.

The 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may delegate to one or more officers the authority to (i) designate employees other than officers to receive specified stock awards and (ii) determine the number of shares to be subject to such stock awards. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the exercise price or strike price of stock awards, if any, the number of shares subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a share, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of the stock award and the terms and conditions of the award agreements for use under the 2021 Plan. The plan administrator has the power to modify outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan and in connection with a corporate transaction or capitalization adjustment, the plan administrator may not reprice or cancel and regrant any award at a lower exercise price, strike price or purchase price or cancel any award with an exercise price, strike price or purchase price in exchange for cash, property or other awards without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) adopted by Legacy Celularity’s board of directors and approved by Legacy Celularity’s stockholders provided for Legacy Celularity to grant stock options to employees, directors and consultants of Legacy Celularity. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination and effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, no further grants will be made under the 2017 Plan.

The total number of stock options that could have been issued under the 2017 Plan was 32,342,049. Shares that expired, forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated without having been fully exercised were available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

The 2017 Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors or, at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions were determined at the discretion of Legacy Celularity’s board of directors, or its committee if so delegated, except that the exercise price per share of stock options could not be

21

---

 

less than 100% of the fair market value of the share of common stock on the date of grant and the term of stock option could not be greater than ten years. Stock options granted to employees, officers, members of the board of directors and consultants typically vested over a three or four year period.

Stock Option Valuation

Awards with Service Conditions

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account inputs such as the exercise price, the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at grant date, expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Certain of these inputs are subjective and generally required judgment to determine.

The following table presents, on a weighted average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

 

 

The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 was $3.39.

The following table summarizes option activity with service conditions under the 2021 Plan and the 2017 Plan:

 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for those options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the aggregate intrinsic value was $35 for the stock options exercised.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost for options issued with service conditions was $16,474, and will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 2.60 years.

Awards with Market Conditions

22

---

 

The Company awarded options to acquire a total of 2,469,282 shares with an exercise price of $6.32 to the Company’s President in connection with the commencement of his employment. The grant was comprised of four equal tranches, which award will vest in up to five equal installments in respect of achieving certain share price targets between the third and fourth anniversary of the effective date, subject to his continued employment with the Company. The fair value of the President’s award was determined based upon a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The Company’s assumptions for expected volatility and closing price were 75.0% and $6.32, respectively. The aggregate estimated fair value of the President’s award was $7,013, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of four years. The Company recognized $432 in share-based expense related to the President’s award for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, there was $6,067 of unrecognized compensation costs that the Company plans to recognize over the weighted average period of 3.5 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company issues restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees that generally vest over a two-year period with 50% of awards vesting after 1 year and then the remaining 50% vesting after 2 years. Any unvested shares will be forfeited upon termination of services. The fair value of an RSU is equal to the fair market value price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSU expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes activity related to RSU stock-based payment awards:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $420 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to RSUs. As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized expense related to all RSUs was $2,979, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.86 years.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories of its condensed consolidated statements of operations:

 

 

12.     Revenue Recognition

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by product and services:

---

 

 

 

The following table provides changes in deferred revenue from contract liabilities:

* 2022 deferral of revenue resulted from payments received in advance of performance under the biobanking services storage contracts that are recognized as revenue under the contract as performance is completed.

The Company’s policies for recognizing sales have not changed from those described in the 2021 Form 10-K. The Company implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) including the election to use certain practical expedients.

Services

The Company recognizes revenue separately for biobanking collection and processing services and storage services.

Revenue from process fees is recognized at the point in time of the successful completion of processing. Revenue from storage services is recognized ratably over the contractual storage period. The portion of the 18- and 25-year contract storage periods that are being recognized over the contractual storage period are included in Deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and is classified as current if the Company expects to recognize the related revenue over the next 12 months from the balance sheet date.

The Company uses list prices to recognize revenue. Promotional discounts and other various incentives are estimated using the expected value method and are recognized in the same period the underlying revenue transaction is recognized.

Product sales and rentals and license, royalty and other revenues

The Company’s direct sales of degenerative disease products are included in product sales and rentals while sales through the Company’s network of distribution partners are included in license, royalty and other revenues.

The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of its Biovance ®, Interfyl ®, Biovance 3L ® and Centaflex ® products when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract. Variable consideration (such as rebates, discounts and other deductions) is estimated using the expected value method and are recognized as revenue when the Company transfer control to the customers. In addition, the Company offers volume-based discounts, rebates and prompt pay discounts and other various incentives which are estimated under the expected value method and recognized as a reduction in revenue in the same period the underlying revenue transaction is recognized.

Under the license agreement with Sanuwave which acquired certain assets comprising its MIST ® /UltraMIST ® business, the Company received a quarterly license fee and a defined royalty on each product sold. The three months ended March 31, 2021, included the recognition of the quarterly license fee in license, royalty and other revenues. During the third quarter of 2021, the license agreement with Sanuwave was terminated due to an uncured material breach.

Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. License and Transfer Agreement

The Company and Sorrento are party to a License and Transfer Agreement for the exclusive worldwide license to CD19 CAR-T constructs for use in placenta-derived cells and/or cord blood-derived cells for the treatment of any disease or disorder (the “2020 Sorrento License Agreement”). The Company retains the right to sublicense the rights granted under the agreement with Sorrento’s prior written consent. As consideration for the license, the Company is obligated to pay Sorrento a royalty equal to low single-digit percentage of net sales (as defined within the agreement) and a royalty equal to low double-digit percentage of all sublicensing revenues (as defined within the agreement). The 2020 Sorrento License Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either the Company or Sorrento for uncured material breach upon 90 days written notice or, after the first anniversary of the effective date of the 2020 Sorrento License Agreement, by the Company for convenience upon six months’ written notice to Sorrento.

The Company and Sorrento are actively negotiating a new supply agreement related to the 2020 Sorrento License Agreement. The 2020 Sorrento Term Sheet details certain aspects of this supply agreement, including pricing terms on material and/or licensed product supplied under the 2020 Sorrento License Agreement. The Company did not incur incentive payments related to the 2020 Sorrento Term Sheet.

Genting Innovation PTE LTD Distribution Agreement

On May 4, 2018, concurrently with Dragasac’s equity investment in Legacy Celularity, Legacy Celularity entered into a distribution agreement with Genting Innovation PTE LTD (“Genting”) pursuant to which Genting was granted supply and distribution

24

rights to certain Company products in select Asia markets (the “Genting Agreement”). The Genting Agreement grants Genting limited distribution rights to the Company’s then-current portfolio of degenerative disease products and provides for the automatic rights to future products developed by or on behalf of the Company.

The term of the Genting Agreement was renewed on January 31, 2022, and automatically renews for successive 12-month terms unless Genting provides written notice of its intention not to renew at least three months prior to a renewal term or the Genting Agreement is otherwise terminated by either party for cause.

Genting and Dragasac are both direct subsidiaries of Genting Berhad, a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia.

Celgene Corporation License Agreement

The Company is party to a license agreement with Celgene (the “Celgene Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company granted Celgene two separate licenses to certain intellectual property. The Celgene Agreement grants Celgene a royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide, non-exclusive license to the certain intellectual property (“IP”) for pre-clinical research purposes in all fields and a royalty-free, fully-paid up, worldwide license, with the right to grant sublicenses, for the development, manufacture, commercialization and exploitation of products in the field of the construction of any CAR, the modification of any T-lymphocyte or NK cell to express such a CAR, and/or the use of such CARs or T-lymphocytes or NK cells for any purpose, including prophylactic, diagnostic, and/or therapeutic uses thereof. The Celgene Agreement will remain in effect until its termination by either party for cause.

Exclusive Supply and Distribution Agreements

On May 7, 2021, Legacy Celularity entered into a six-year supply and distribution agreement with Arthrex, Inc. (“Arthrex”) whereby Arthrex would receive exclusive rights to distribute and commercialize the Company’s placental-derived biomaterial products for orthopedics and sports medicine in the United States.  

Effective September 1, 2021, the Company entered into a three-year supply and distribution agreement with Evolution Biologyx, LLC (“Evolution”) whereby Evolution would receive exclusive rights to distribute and commercialize defined Interfyl products within any medical specialty where Interfyl is administered in an in-office or in-patient setting and is reimbursed through Medicare Part B or any successor, equivalent or similar category established by the Center for Medicare Services or other Governmental Authority, except in the medical specialty of orthopedic surgery (excluding trauma or spine applications in the medical specialty of orthopedic or neurologic surgery). For the avoidance of doubt, Evolution’s exclusive license for the commercialization and distribution of defined Interfyl products excludes the sub-medical specialties of surgical sports medicine, foot and ankle surgery and orthopedic surgery.

Under the Arthrex Supply and Distribution Agreement, the Company and Arthrex will establish a joint steering committee to oversee commercialization activities of the products. Membership of the joint steering committee will be comprised of an equal number of employees of each respective party.

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into a three-year supply and distribution agreement with Evolution that includes an exclusive Interfyl license for the distribution and commercialization within the United States within any medical specialty where Interfyl is administered in an in-office or in-patient setting and is reimbursed through Medicare Part B or any successor, equivalent or similar category established by the Center for Medicare Services or other Government Authority, except in the medical specialty of orthopedic surgery excluding trauma or spine applications in the medical specialty or orthopedic or neurologic surgery (the “Evolution Supply and Distribution Agreement”). The Evolution Supply and Distribution Agreement will automatically renew for terms of two-year periods unless either party gives notice of non-renewal at least 12 months in advance of the current term. Evolution will provide a non-binding 12 month rolling forecast to the Company. The next forecast is due October 31, 2022, and each October 31 thereafter. At least 45 days prior to the start of each calendar quarter, the Company and Evolution will agree in good faith to a minimum binding forecast based upon projected sales volume by Evolution for said upcoming calendar quarter for each of the products. The forecast may not deviate to less than 70% for the immediate following quarter, 50% two quarters out, 40% three quarters out, and 25% for full quarters from the original forecasted amount for that specific quarter set forth in the respective agreed upon binding forecast. Upon agreement, Evolution shall submit to the Company a purchase order to purchase products for the minimum binding forecasted quantities. The Company shall invoice Evolution after the product has been issued and payments for such invoices will be 50% upon receipt and acceptance of purchase order and 50% 2%, ten net 45 days from the date of invoice. The Evolution Supply and Distribution Agreement may be terminated by (i) material breach of the Evolution Supply and Distribution Agreement and subsequent failure to cure the material breach within 30 days of notice of material breach and (ii) otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Evolution.

14.     Benefit Plans

Legacy Celularity established a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code that continues to be in effect at the Company following the Business Combination. This plan covers all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Matching contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company made contributions of $1,400 and $835 to the plan, respectively.

15.     Segment Information

The Company regularly reviews its segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, Legacy Celularity managed operations as one segment. The Company manages its operations through an evaluation of three distinct business segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease, and BioBanking. This change was prompted by certain organizational and personnel changes. The chief operating decision maker uses the revenues and earnings of the operating segments, among other factors, for performance evaluation and resource allocation among these segments.

The reportable segments were determined based on the distinct nature of the activities performed by each segment. Cell Therapy broadly refers to therapies the Company is researching and developing. Therapies being researched are unproven and in various phases of development. Degenerative Disease produces, sells and licenses products used in surgical and wound care markets. Biobanking collects stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas and provides storage of such cells on behalf of individuals for future use.

The Company manages its assets on a total company basis, not by operating segment. Therefore, the chief operating decision maker does not regularly review any asset information by operating segment and, accordingly, asset information is not reported by operating segment. Total assets were $434,202 and $414,128 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Financial information by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and other financial information included in this report. The following discussion may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements.  See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in this report and under “Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2021 Form 10-K. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company leading the next evolution in cellular medicine by developing off-the-shelf placental-derived allogeneic cell therapies for the treatment of cancer and immune and infectious diseases. We are developing a pipeline of off-the-shelf placental-derived allogenic cell therapy product candidates including T cells engineered with a CAR, NK cells, and mesenchymal-like ASCs. These therapeutic candidates target indications across cancer, infectious and degenerative diseases. We believe that by harnessing the placenta’s unique biology and ready availability, we will be able to develop therapeutic solutions that address a significant unmet global need for effective, accessible and affordable therapeutics. We currently have three active clinical trials and intend to work with the FDA to resolve its questions on an IND we submitted in the first quarter of 2022 before commencing an additional clinical trial.  

Our Celularity IMPACT platform capitalizes on the benefits of placenta-derived cells to target multiple diseases, and provides seamless integration, from bio sourcing through manufacturing cryopreserved and packaged allogeneic cells, in our purpose-built U.S.-based approximately 150,000 square foot facility. We believe the use of placental-derived cells, sourced from the placentas of full-term healthy informed consent donors, has potential inherent advantages, from a scientific and an economic perspective. First, relative to adult-derived cells, placental-derived cells demonstrate greater stemness, meaning the ability to expand and persist. Second, placental-derived cells are immunologically naïve, meaning the cells have never been exposed to a specific antigen, and suggesting the potential for less toxicity and for low or no GvHD in transplant. Third, our placental-derived cells are allogeneic, meaning they are intended for use in any patient, as compared to autologous cells, which are derived from an individual patient for that patient’s sole use. We believe this a key difference that will enable readily available off-the-shelf treatments that can be delivered faster, more reliably, at greater scale and to more patients.

From a single source material, the postpartum human placenta, we derive four allogeneic cell types: T cells, unmodified NK cells, genetically modified NK cells and ASCs, which are used in five key cell therapeutic programs—CYCART-19, CYNK-001, CYNK-101, APPL-001, and PDA-002—that in turn are focused on six initial indications. CYCART-19 is a placental-derived CAR-T cell therapy, in development for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, initially targeting the CD19 receptor, the construct and related CARs for which are in-licensed from Sorrento. We submitted an IND to investigate CYCART-19 for treatment of B-cell malignancies and in late April 2022, received an e-mail notification from the FDA that it will be seeking additional information before we can proceed with the planned Phase 1/2 clinical trial. We expect to receive formal written communication with additional information from the FDA by late May and plan to work with the FDA in an effort to resolve its questions as promptly as possible. Accordingly, we expect to commence the trial in the second half of 2022, assuming clearance of the IND. CYNK-001 is a placental-derived unmodified NK cell in development for the treatment of AML, a blood cancer, and for GBM, a solid tumor cancer. CYNK-001 is currently in Phase 1 trial for AML and a Phase 1/2a trial for GBM, respectively. CYNK-101 is genetically modified version of a placental-derived NK-cell. We initiated a Phase 1 trial of CYNK-101 in patients with HER2+ gastric and gastroesophageal cancers during the fourth quarter. CYNK-101 will be evaluated in combination with monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs to target HER2+ (traztuzumab) and PDl-1 (pembrolizumab). APPL-001 is a placenta-derived ASC being developed for the treatment of Crohn’s disease, a degenerative disease. PDA-002 is a placenta-derived ASC being developed for the treatment of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, or FSHD.

Our Celularity IMPACT manufacturing process is a seamless, fully integrated process designed to optimize speed and scalability from the sourcing of placentas from full-term healthy informed consent donors through the use of proprietary processing methods, cell selection, product-specific CMC, advanced cell manufacturing and cryopreservation. The result is a suite of allogeneic inventory-ready, on demand placental-derived cell therapy products. In addition, we have non-core legacy operations that are complementary to our work in placenta-derived cell therapeutics, including biobanking operations that include the collection, processing and cryogenic storage of certain birth byproducts for third-parties, and our degenerative disease business consists of the manufacture and sale of our Biovance and Interfyl products, directly and through our third-party distribution agreement. See “— Commercial Businesses” for more information regarding these operations.

Our current science is the product of the cumulative background and effort over two decades of our seasoned and experienced management team. We have our roots in Anthrogenesis, a company founded under the name Lifebank in 1998 by Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., our founder and Chief Executive Officer, and acquired in 2002 by Celgene. The team continued to hone their expertise in the field of placental-derived technology at Celgene through August 2017, when we acquired Anthrogenesis. We have a robust global intellectual property portfolio comprised of over 1,500 patents and patent applications protecting our Celularity IMPACT platform, our processes, technologies and current key cell therapy programs. We believe this know-how, expertise and intellectual property will drive

the rapid development and, if approved, commercialization of these potentially lifesaving therapies for patients with unmet medical needs.

Since inception, we have had significant operating losses. We had a net loss of $62.9 million and $100.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $722.6 million at March 31, 2022. Our primary use of cash is to fund operations, which consist primarily of research and development expenses, and to a lesser extent, selling, general and administrative expenses. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when it pays these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and expect our research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. In particular, we expect our expenses and losses to increase as we continue development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our therapeutic candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved therapeutics, as well as hire additional personnel, develop commercial infrastructure for therapeutics, pay fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, and incur increased costs associated with being a public company such as expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and SEC requirements, insurance and investor relations costs. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities.

Based upon our current operating plan, we do not believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the next 12 months. To date, we have not had any cellular therapeutics approved for sale and have not generated any revenues from the sale of our cellular therapeutics. We generate limited revenues from our biobanking and degenerative disease businesses. We do not expect to generate any revenues from cellular therapeutic product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our therapeutic candidates, which we expect will take a number of years. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our therapeutic candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to therapeutic sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution as our current commercialization efforts are limited to our biobanking and degenerative disease businesses. As a result, until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from therapeutics, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies. If we are unable to raise capital, we will need to delay, reduce or terminate planned activities to reduce costs.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increased unemployment, commodity and stock market volatility during the acute phase of the epidemic. Increases in vaccination rates and lower levels of reported cases suggest that the worst part of the pandemic may have passed. Should a new or mutated variant arise that results in further measures to combat its spread, there could be an adverse material impact to our financial condition, operating results, and timing and amounts of cash flows.

Although we were able to operate continuously throughout 2020 and 2021, we implemented “work from home” policies as needed following local health recommendations for non-essential employees and employees whose roles are able to be performed remotely. Management of remote workers can present special challenges and productivity may not be as high for remote workers. Because certain elements of our operations (such as processing placental tissue, certain biological assays, translational research and storage of cord blood) cannot be performed remotely, we instituted controls and protocols including mandatory temperature checking, symptom assessment forms, incremental cleaning and sanitization of common surfaces to mitigate risks to employees. Although we have not experienced any material disruption to date, there can be no assurance that our mitigation measures will continue to be effective and that there will not be a disruption to an important element of our business in the future.

Due to a broad decline in economic activity and restrictions on physical access to certain medical facilities, we did experience a decrease in the net revenues of our degenerative disease business due to the pandemic. As for clinical trials, we did not cancel or postpone enrollment solely due to the risks of COVID-19. However, enrollment in the clinical trial evaluating CYNK-001 for AML experienced some delays in the first half of 2020 and in mid 2021 as sites assessed their safety protocols and experienced high volumes of COVID-19 patients. We had a year-over-year increase in research and development expenses in 2021 notwithstanding the enrollment delays.

The extent to which COVID-19 or any other health epidemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Business Segments

We manage our operations through an evaluation of three distinct business segments: Cell Therapy, Degenerative Disease, and BioBanking. The reportable segments were determined based on the distinct nature of the activities performed by each segment. Cell Therapy broadly refers to cellular therapies we are researching and developing, which are unproven and in various phases of

29

development. All of the cell therapy programs fall into the Cell Therapy segment. We have no approved cell therapy product and have not generated revenue from the sale of cellular therapies to date. Degenerative Disease produces, sells and licenses products used in surgical and wound care markets, such as Biovance and Interfyl. We sell products in this segment both using our own sales force as well as independent distributors. We are developing additional tissue-based products for the Degenerative Disease segment. BioBanking collects stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas and provides storage of such cells on behalf of individuals for future use. We operate in the biobanking business primarily under the LifebankUSA brand. For more information about our reportable business segments refer to Note 15, “Segment Reporting” of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Our current operations reflect strategic acquisitions and divestures that we have made since formation. Additional details regarding the following acquisitions can be found in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

In May 2017, we acquired HLI Cellular Therapeutics, LLC, or HLI CT, from Human Longevity Inc., or Human Longevity. HLI CT operated LifebankUSA, a private umbilical cord blood stem cell and cord tissue bank that offers parents the option to collect, process and cryogenically preserve newborn umbilical cord blood stem cells and cord tissue units. The HLI CT acquisition also provided us with rights to a portfolio of biomaterial assets, including Biovance and Interfyl. At the time of the HLI CT acquisition, Biovance and Interfyl were subject to an exclusive distribution arrangement with Alliqua Biomedical, Inc., or Alliqua. In May 2018, we acquired certain assets from Alliqua, including Alliqua’s biologic wound care business, which included the marketing and distribution rights to Biovance and Interfyl.

In August 2017, we acquired Anthrogenesis, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celgene. The Anthrogenesis acquisition included a portfolio of pre-clinical and clinical stage assets, including key cellular therapeutic assets that we continue to develop. The Anthrogenesis acquisition gives us access to Anthrogenesis’ proprietary technologies and processes for the recovery of large quantities of high-potential stem cells and cellular therapeutic products derived from postpartum human placentas, each an Anthrogenesis Product. As part of the Anthrogenesis acquisition, some of the inventors of the Anthrogenesis Products and other key members of the Anthrogenesis Product development team joined us.

In October 2018, we acquired CariCord Inc., or CariCord, a family cord blood bank established by ClinImmune Labs University of Colorado Cord Blood Bank and the Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporate, for and on behalf of the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Licensing Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, we license in intellectual property and other rights from third parties and have also out-licensed our intellectual property and other rights, including in connection with our acquisitions and divestitures, described above. Additional details regarding our licensing agreements can be found in Note 13, “License and Distribution Agreements” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

In September 2020, we entered into a license and transfer agreement, or the Sorrento Agreement, with Sorrento. Henry Ji, Ph.D., a former member of Legacy Celularity’s board of directors, currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Sorrento. Sorrento is also a significant stockholder of our company and invested in the PIPE Financing concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Sorrento Agreement, we obtained a worldwide license for the CD19 CAR construct that forms the basis of the genetic modification for CYCART-19. We are currently in the process of negotiating a supply agreement with Sorrento for the manufacturing and supply of the CD19 CAR construct licensed from Sorrento.

In August 2017, in connection with the Anthrogenesis acquisition, we entered into a license agreement, or the Celgene License, with Celgene, which has since been acquired by Bristol Meyers Squibb. Pursuant to the Celgene License, we granted Celgene a worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid up, non-exclusive license, without the right to grant sublicenses (other than to its affiliates), under Anthrogenesis’ intellectual property in existence as of the date of the Celgene License or as developed by Celgene in connection with any transition services activities related to the merger for non-commercial pre-clinical research purposes, as well as to develop, manufacture, commercialize and fully exploit products and services that relate to the construction of any CAR, the modification of any T-cell or NK cell to express such a CAR, and/or the use of such CARs or T-cells or NK cells for any purpose, which commercial license is sublicensable. Either party may terminate the Celgene License upon an uncured material breach of the agreement by the other party or insolvency of the other party.

In August 2017, Legacy Celularity also issued shares of its Series X Preferred Stock to Celgene as merger consideration and entered into a contingent value rights agreement, or the CVR Agreement, with Celgene pursuant to which Legacy Celularity issued one CVR in respect of each share of Legacy Celularity Series X Preferred Stock issued to Celgene in connection with the Anthrogenesis acquisition. The CVR Agreement entitles the holders of the CVRs to an aggregate amount, on a per program basis, of $50 million in

30

---

 

regulatory milestones and an aggregate $125 million in commercial milestone payments with respect to certain of our investigational therapeutic programs. In addition, with respect to each such program and calendar year, the CVR holders will be entitled to receive a royalty equal to a mid-teen percentage of the annual net sales for such program’s therapeutics from the date of the first commercial sale of such program’s therapeutic in a particular country until the latest to occur of the expiration of the last to expire of any valid patent claim covering such program therapeutic in such country, the expiration of marketing exclusivity with respect to such therapeutic in such country, and August 2027 (i.e., the tenth anniversary of the closing of the acquisition of Anthrogenesis). No payments under the CVR Agreement have been made to date. We estimate the liability associated with the CVR quarterly. Changes to that liability include but are not limited to changes in our clinical programs, assumptions about the commercial value of those programs and the time value of money.

Components of Operating Results

Net revenues

Net revenues include: (i) sales of Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products, or HCT/P’s, including Biovance, Biovance 3L, Interfyl and MIST/UltraMIST Therapy System equipment and single-use applicators, collectively, Product Sales and Rentals; (ii) the collection, processing and storage of umbilical cord and placental blood and tissue after full-term pregnancies, collectively, Services; and, (iii) license fees and royalties received under the license agreement with Sanuwave as well as license fees received under the exclusive distribution arrangement with Alliqua prior to our acquisition of Alliqua’s biologic wound care business in May 2018, collectively, License, Royalty and Other.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues consists of labor, material and overhead costs associated with our two existing commercial business segments, biobanking and degenerative disease. Biobanking costs include the cost of storage and transportation kits for newly banked materials as well as tank and facility overhead costs for cord blood and other units in storage. Degenerative disease costs include costs associated with procuring placentas, qualifying the placental material and processing the placental tissue into a marketable product. Costs in the degenerative disease segment include labor and overhead costs associated with the production of the Biovance, Biovance 3L and Interfyl product lines. License, royalty and other costs reflect expenses incurred related to our distribution agreements.  

Research and development expense

Our research and development expenses primarily relate to basic scientific research into placentally derived allogeneic cells, pre-clinical studies to support our current and future clinical programs in cellular medicine, clinical development of our NK cell programs and facilities, depreciation and other direct and allocated expenses incurred as a result of research and development activities. We incur expenses for third party CROs, that assist in running clinical trials, personnel expenses for research scientists, specialized chemicals and reagents used to conduct biologic research, expense for third party testing and validation and various overhead expenses including rent and facility maintenance expense. Basic research, research collaborations involving partners and research designed to enable successful regulatory submissions is critical to our current and future success in cell therapy. We anticipate that our research and development expenditures will increase as we engage in further clinical trials, investigate incremental CAR constructs for our allogeneic T-cell and NK cell platforms and conduct further pre-clinical studies on CYNK-101 in conjunction with various antibody candidates. The amount of increase will depend on numerous factors, including the timing of clinical trials, preliminary evidence of efficacy in clinical trials and the number of indications that we choose to pursue.

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs including salaries, bonuses, stock compensation and benefits for specialized staff that support our core business operations. Executive management, finance, legal, human resources and information technology are key components of general and administrative expense and those expenses are recognized when incurred. We expect that as we engage in more clinical trials and potentially prepares for commercialization of any approved therapies that our general and administrative costs will increase over time. The magnitude and timing of any increase in general and administrative expense will depend on the progress of clinical trials, the release of new products within the degenerative disease portfolio, changes in the regulatory environment or incremental staffing needs to support the growth of the business as well as any incremental expenses associated with being a public company.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration liability

Because the acquisitions of Anthrogenesis from Celgene and HLI CT from Human Longevity were accounted for as business combinations, we recognized acquisition-related contingent consideration on the balance sheet in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. See “— Acquisitions and Divestitures” for more information. The fair value of contingent consideration liability is determined based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and a probability assessment with

31

---

 

respect to the likelihood of achieving regulatory and commercial milestone obligations and royalty obligations. The fair value of acquisition related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in contingent consideration fair value estimates result in an increase or decrease in our contingent consideration obligation and a corresponding charge or reduction to operating results. Key elements of the contingent consideration are regulatory milestone payments, sales milestone payments and royalty payments. Regulatory payments are due on regulatory approval of certain cell types in the United States and the European Union. Regulatory milestone payments are one time but are due prior to any potential commercial success of a cell type in a specific indication. Royalty payments are a percentage of net sales. Sales milestone payments are due when certain aggregate sales thresholds have been met. Management must use substantial judgement in evaluating the value of the contingent consideration. Estimates used by management include but are not limited to: (i) the number and type of clinical programs that we are likely to pursue based on the quality of our preclinical data, (ii) the time required to conduct clinical trials, (iii) the odds of regulatory success in those trials, (iv) the potential number of patients treatable for the indications in which we are successful and (v) the pricing of treatments that achieve commercial status. All of these areas involve substantial judgement on the part of management and are inherently uncertain.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2021

 

Net Revenue and Cost of Revenues

Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $5.9 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 123.1%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by an increase of $3.4 million in license, royalty and other revenues driven by increased product sales to distribution partners. Services revenues were flat compared to the prior period.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $2.8 million, or 224.2% compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales to distribution partners corresponding to our increase in license, royalty and other revenues in addition to higher cost resulting from product mix as well as increased material and labor costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $21.7 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 27.6%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to the Palantir platform fees, higher personnel costs and laboratory supplies to support cell therapy process development partially offset by a reduction in clinical trial costs for CYNK-001 for COVID-19 for which all trial sites were closed in July 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $16.5 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 115.8%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher personnel, professional services and, insurance costs to support operations of a public company.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Liability

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability increased resulting in net expenses of $4.8 million and $20.7 million, respectively. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2020 resulted from change in market-based assumptions (for more information about changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liability refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q).

Other Income (Expense)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, other income (expense), net increased by $15.9 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in expense related to our warrants to purchase common stock, which resulted from changes in the fair value of the corresponding liabilities (see Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception through March 31, 2022, Legacy Celularity funded its operations primarily through the sale of convertible preferred stock, sale of common stock and via the Business Combination and has raised aggregate net cash proceeds of $483.3 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had $48.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $722.6 million. Our primary use of our capital resources is funding our operating expenses, which consist primarily of funding the research and development of our cellular therapeutic candidates, and to a lesser extent, selling, general and administrative expenses.

Based upon our current operating plan, we do not believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the next 12 months. We are seeking additional funding through public or private equity and/or debt financings. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. Based on our recurring losses from operations incurred since inception, expectation of continuing operating losses for the foreseeable future, and need to raise additional capital to finance our future operations, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to incur substantial expenses in the foreseeable future for the development and potential commercialization of our cellular therapeutic candidates and ongoing internal research and development programs. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of costs for our development, potential commercialization, and internal research and development programs. However, to complete our current and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, and to complete the process of obtaining regulatory approval for our therapeutic candidates, as well as to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our cellular therapeutic candidates, if approved, we may require substantial additional funding in the future.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $9.2 million higher than the prior year period primarily due to higher net loss adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Investing Activities

We used $1.5 million of net cash in investing activities for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, which consisted of $1.5 million of capital expenditures in each period.

Financing Activities

We generated $46.5 million of net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which consisted primarily of $46.5 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants to acquire 13,281,386 shares our Class A Common Stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used $4.8 million of net cash in financing activities, which consisted primarily of payments related to the PIPE financing that closed concurrent with the Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” included within the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in Note 2 to our annual financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was an addition to our critical accounting estimates compared with those previously disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K as a result of the implementation of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02. We cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, we use our incremental borrowing rate or IBR to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use or ROU asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what we ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. We estimate the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and are required to make certain entity and asset-specific estimates. The IBR used in the calculation of the present value of lease payments in calculating lease liabilities and the corresponding ROU requires the use of significant judgment by management.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and Note 2 to our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the 2021 Form 10-K for information about recent accounting pronouncements, the timing of their adoption, and our assessment, to the extent we have made one, of their potential impact on our financial condition of results of operations.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the

34

---

 

reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this quarterly report Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

We previously identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

We are currently implementing our remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified above. Such measures include:

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than in connection with executing upon the continued implementation of the remediation measures referenced above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe we are party to any claim or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse effect on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
