Termination of Merger with Illumina [Abstract] | |
Termination of Merger with Illumina | NOTE 2 TERMINATION OF MERGER WITH ILLUMINA
On November 1, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Illumina, Inc. (“Illumina”) and FC Ops Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Illumina (“Merger Subsidiary”). On January 2, 2020, we, Illumina and Merger Subsidiary, entered into an agreement to terminate the Merger Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). As part of the Termination Agreement, Illumina paid us a $98.0 million termination fee (the “Reverse Termination Fee”), from which we paid our financial advisor associated fees of $6.0 million in April 2020, which is less than the amount we initially expected. In addition, Illumina paid us cash payments (“Continuation Advances”) of $34.0 million during the first quarter of 2020. However, pursuant to the Termination Agreement, in the event that, on or prior to September 30, 2020, we enter into a definitive agreement providing for, or consummate, a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the Termination Agreement) (“Change of Control Transaction”), then we may be required to repay the Reverse Termination Fee (without interest) to Illumina in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction. If such Change of Control Transaction is not consummated by the two-year anniversary of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Change of Control Transaction, then we will not be required to repay the Reverse Termination Fee. Please refer to “Note 5. Balance Sheet Components” for the accounting treatment of the Reverse Termination Fee. In addition, up to the $52.0 million of the Continuation Advances paid to us are repayable without interest to Illumina if, within two years of March 31, 2020, we enter into, or consummate a Change of Control Transaction or raise at least $100 million in equity in a single transaction or debt financing (that may have multiple closings), with the amount repayable dependent on the amount raised by us. Please refer to “Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for the accounting treatment of the Continuation Advances.
