NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Amyris, Inc. (Amyris or the Company) is a leading biotechnology company that applies its technology platform to engineer, manufacture and sell high performance, natural, sustainably sourced products into the Clean Health & Beauty, and Flavor & Fragrance markets. The Company's technology platform enables the Company to rapidly engineer microbes and use them as catalysts to metabolize renewable, plant-sourced sugars into large volume ingredients. This platform, combined with our proprietary fermentation process, replaces existing complex and expensive manufacturing processes, resulting in our successful development and production of many distinct molecules at commercial volumes.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Amyris, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the 2019 Form 10-K), from which the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 is derived. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Raizen Joint Venture Agreement
On May 10, 2019, the Company and Raizen Energia S.A. (Raizen) entered into a joint venture agreement relating to the formation and operation of a joint venture relating to the production, sale and commercialization of alternative sweetener products. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, among other things, (i) the joint venture will construct a manufacturing facility on land owned by Raizen and leased to the joint venture (the Sweetener Plant), (ii) the Company will grant to the joint venture an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, license to certain technology owned by the Company relevant to the joint venture’s business, and (iii) the Company and Raizen will enter into a shareholders agreement setting forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to, and the management of, the joint venture. The formation of the joint venture is subject to certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals and the achievement of certain technological and economic milestones relating to the Company’s existing production of its alternative sweetener product. If such conditions are not satisfied by July 2020, the joint venture will automatically terminate. In addition, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the closing conditions, Raizen may elect not to consummate the formation and operation of the joint venture, in which event, the Company will retain the right to construct and operate the Sweetener Plant. The Company is evaluating the accounting treatment for its future interest in the joint venture under ASC 810, Consolidations and ASC 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures and will conclude once the corporate governance and economic participation structure is finalized and the formation of the joint venture is consummated.
Potential Impact of COVID-19 on the Company's Business
With the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 and resulting shelter-in-place orders covering the Company’s corporate headquarters, primary research and development laboratories, and employees, the Company has implemented policies and procedures to continue its operations under minimum business operations guidelines. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. New information may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions to contain the pandemic or treat COVID-19, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, continued travel restrictions, social distancing, business closures or disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19 in the United States and in other countries. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, to the extent it adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also impact other risks to which the Company is subject as set forth in the “Risk Factors” section (Part I, Item 1A) of the 2019 Form 10-K.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operations for at least the next 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had negative working capital of $107.3 million (compared to negative working capital of $87.5 million as of December 31, 2019), and an accumulated deficit of $1.8 billion.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company's outstanding debt principal (including related party debt) totaled $208.5 million, of which $90.9 million is classified as current. The Company's debt agreements contain various covenants, including certain restrictions on the Company's business that could cause the Company to be at risk of defaults, such as restrictions on additional indebtedness, material adverse effect and cross default provisions. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of the Company’s debt instruments, including any failure to make a payment when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could permit acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness. If such indebtedness is accelerated, it would generally also constitute an event of default under the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness, permitting acceleration of a substantial portion of such other outstanding indebtedness. At December 31, 2019, the Company failed to meet certain covenants under several credit arrangements, including those associated with cross-default provisions, minimum liquidity and minimum asset coverage requirements. Further, at March 31, 2020, the Company failed to meet certain covenants and provisions under several credit arrangements, including those associated with cross-default provisions (as discussed below). In March 2020 and again in May 2020, these lenders provided waivers to the Company for breaches of all past covenant violations and cross-default payment failures, under the respective credit agreements (discussed below). As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the minimum liquidity and minimum asset coverage requirements under these credit agreements.
Between March 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the Company failed to pay (i) Total Raffinage Chimie (Total), Nikko Chemicals Co. Ltd (Nikko) and certain affiliates of the Schottenfeld Group LLC (Schottenfeld) an aggregate of $17.6 million of maturing promissory notes, (ii) failed to pay Ginkgo $7.2 million of past due interest, waiver fees and partnership payments and (iii) failed to make interest payments to all of its lenders totaling $2.8 million. These payment failures resulted in an event of default under the respective agreements and triggered cross-defaults under other debt instruments that permitted each of the affected debt holders (the Cross-Default Lenders) to accelerate the amounts owing under such cross-defaulted instruments. In May 2020, the Company obtained waivers from Ginkgo and the other lenders to extended the due date for all payments due under the respective agreements to the earlier of the day the Company receives cash proceeds from any private placement of its equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020; and amended the credit arrangements with Total and Nikko to extend the maturity dates of the original respective promissory notes to the earlier of the day the Company receives cash proceeds from any private placement of its equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for further information. Also, the Company received waivers from each of the affected Cross-Default Lenders to waive the right to accelerate due to the event-specific cross-defaults. As a result, the indebtedness with respect to which the Company obtained such waivers continues to be classified as long-term on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The indebtedness reflected by the Total and Schottenfeld notes and certain Ginkgo and Nikko amounts are classified as a current liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Although the Company obtained waivers or extensions to make these payments at a later date from each of its lenders, except Schottenfeld, it currently does not have sufficient funds to repay the principal amounts due under the Total, Nikko, Schottenfeld and Ginkgo credit arrangements and the past due interest payments; and while the Company intends to seek equity or debt financing, the proceeds of which would be used to repay most or all of these past due amounts, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on its expected timeline, or on acceptable terms, if at all. Also, while the Company has been able to obtain waivers for substantially all these defaults to date and has not had a lender accelerate the Company’s debt, it may not be able to cure or obtain a waiver for such a default promptly in the future.
Further, the Company's cash and cash equivalents of $2.6 million as of March 31, 2020 are not sufficient to fund expected future negative cash flows from operations and cash debt service obligations through May 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In addition to repaying the Total, Nikko, Schottenfeld, Ginkgo and other lenders principal and interest amounts previously described, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern will depend, in large part, on its ability to raise additional cash proceeds through financings, eliminate or minimize the anticipated negative cash flows from operations during the 12 months from the date of this filing, and refinance or extend other existing debt maturities occurring later in 2020, all of which are uncertain and outside the control of the Company. Further, the Company's operating plan for 2020 contemplates a significant reduction in its net operating cash outflows as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting from (i) revenue growth from sales of existing and new products with positive gross margins, (ii) reduced production costs as a result of manufacturing and technical developments, (iii) reduced spending in general and administrative areas, and (iv) an increase in cash inflows from collaborations and grants. If the Company is unable to complete
these actions, it expects to be unable to meet its operating cash flow needs and its obligations under its existing debt facilities. This could result in an acceleration of its obligation to repay all amounts outstanding under those facilities, and the Company may be forced to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not occur timely or on reasonable terms, if at all, and/or liquidate its assets. In such a scenario, the value received for assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the value reflected in these financial statements. The Company has in the past, including in July 2019, had certain of its debt instruments accelerated for failure to make a payment when due. While we have been able to obtain permanent waivers or cure these defaults to date to avoid additional cross-acceleration, we may not be able to obtain waivers or cure such a default promptly in the future.
Significant Accounting Policies
Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2019 Form 10-K includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Accounting Standards or Updates Recently Adopted
In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company adopted these accounting standards or updates:
Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 became effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, with removed and modified disclosures to be adopted on a retrospective basis, and new disclosures to be adopted on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Collaborative Revenue Arrangements In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, that clarifies the interaction between the guidance for certain collaborative arrangements and Topic 606, the new revenue recognition standard. A collaborative arrangement is a contractual arrangement under which two or more parties actively participate in a joint operating activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the activity’s commercial success. The ASU provides guidance on how to assess whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for within the revenue recognition standard. ASU 2018-18 became effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 retrospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Adopted
Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity's portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company (a Smaller Reporting Company) in the first quarter of 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the Company amended the supply agreement with DSM to secure capacity at the Brotas 1 facility for sweetener production through 2022. See Note 9, “Revenue Recognition” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2019 Form 10-K for information regarding the November 2018 Supply Agreement Amendment. From November 2018 to March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $17.4 million of manufacturing capacity fees as deferred cost of products sold. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company will pay an additional $6.9 million of manufacturing capacity fees, which will be recorded as deferred cost of products sold in the period the additional payment is made to DSM. The deferred cost of products sold asset is expensed to cost of products sold on a units of production basis as the Company's sweetener product is sold over the five-year term of the supply agreement. Each quarter, the Company evaluates its estimated future production volumes through the end of the agreement and adjusts the unit cost to be expensed over the remaining estimated production volume. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of the deferred cost of products sold asset to cost of products sold.

Leases
Operating Leases
The Company has entered into operating leases primarily for administrative offices, laboratory equipment and other facilities. The operating leases have remaining terms that range from 1 year to 5 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The operating leases are classified as ROU assets under operating leases on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make operating lease payments is included in "Lease liabilities" and "Lease liabilities, net of current portion" on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company had $12.4 million and $13.2 million of right-of-use assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Operating lease liabilities were $18.5 million and $19.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company recorded $1.5 million and $4.6 million of operating lease amortization that was charged to expense, of which $0 and $1.8 million was recorded to cost of products sold.
Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate and marketing which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.
Information related to the Company's right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |

(1) 2019 amount includes $29.7 million for operating leases existing on January 1, 2019 and $0.8 million for operating leases that commenced during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Financing Leases
The Company has entered into financing leases primarily for laboratory and computer equipment. Assets purchased under financing leases are included in "Right-of-use assets under financing leases, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For financing leases, the associated assets are depreciated or amortized over the shorter of the relevant useful life of each asset or the lease term. Accumulated amortization of assets under financing leases totaled $2.4 million and $1.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In April 2019, the Company assigned the Value Sharing Agreement to DSM. See Note 9, "Revenue Recognition and Contract Assets and Liabilities" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2019 Form 10-K for further information. The assignment was accounted for as a contract modification under ASC 606 that resulted in $12.5 million of prepaid variable consideration to the Company. The $12.5 million was recorded as a refund liability. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company concluded that it would not be required to return any portion of the remaining refund liability to DSM, and recorded $3.8 million of royalty revenue related to this change in estimate and reduction of the refund liability.
3. Fair Value Measurement
Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables summarize liabilities measured at fair value, and the respective fair value by input classification level within the fair value hierarchy:

The Company did not hold any financial assets to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Also, there were no transfers between the levels during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgements and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The method of determining the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities is described subsequently in this note. Market risk associated with embedded derivative liabilities relates to the potential reduction in fair value and negative impact to future earnings from a decrease in interest rates.
Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities are presented as gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations in the line captioned "Gain (loss) from change in fair value of derivative instruments".
Changes in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value are presented as gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations in the line captioned "Gain (loss) from change in fair value of debt".
Fair Value of Debt — Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022
On January 14, 2020, the Company exchanged the $66 million Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 (or the Prior Notes) for (i) new senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $51 million (the New Notes or New Senior Convertible Notes due 2022), (ii) an aggregate of 2,742,160 shares of common stock (the Exchange Shares), (iii) rights (the Rights) to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,484,321 shares of common stock, (iv) warrants (the Warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the Warrant Shares) at an exercise price of $3.25 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance, (v) accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 (payable on or prior to January 31, 2020) and (vi) cash fees in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million (payable on or prior to January 31, 2020). Due to significantly different cash flows from the Prior Notes, the Company accounted for the exchange as a debt extinguishment of the Prior Notes and a new debt issuance of the New Notes. The Company recorded a $5.3 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which was comprised of the $4.1 million fair value of the Warrants, the $1.0 million cash fee and $0.2 million excess fair value of the Exchange Shares and Rights over the $2.87 per share contractual value. See Note 4, "Debt” for further information regarding the transaction.
The Company elected to account for the New Notes at fair value, as of the January 14, 2020 issuance date. Management believes that the fair value option better reflects the underlying economics of the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022, which contain multiple embedded derivatives. Under the fair value election, changes in fair value will be reported in the consolidated statements of operations in each reporting period subsequent to the issuance of the New Notes.
At January 14, 2020, the contractual outstanding principal of the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 was $51.0 million and the fair value was $35.8 million. The Company measured the fair value at January 14, 2020 using a binomial lattice model (which is discussed in further detail below) using the following inputs: (i) $2.90 stock price, (ii) 226% discount yield, (iii) 1.59% risk free interest rate (iv) 45% equity volatility, (v) 25% / 75% probability of principal repayment in cash or
stock, respectively and (vi) 5% probability of change in control. The Company assumed that if a change of control event were to occur, it would occur at the end of the calendar year.
At March 31, 2020, the contractual outstanding principal of the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 was $45.3 million and the fair value was $46.4 million. The Company measured the fair value at March 31, 2020 using a binomial lattice model (which is discussed in further detail below) using the following inputs: (i) $2.56 stock price, (ii) 233% discount yield, (iii) 0.25% risk free interest rate (iv) 45% equity volatility, (v) 25% / 75% probability of principal repayment in cash or stock, respectively and (vi) 5% probability of change in control. The Company assumed that if a change of control event were to occur, it would occur at the end of the calendar year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $16.5 million loss from change in fair value of debt in connection with the fair value remeasurement of the Prior Notes and the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022, as follows:
| | | | | |
In thousands | |
Fair value at December 31, 2019 | $ | 50,624 | |
Less: principal paid | (20,730) | |
Loss from change in fair value | | 16,503 | |
Fair value at March 31, 2020 | $ | 46,397 | |
A binomial lattice model was used to determine if the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 (both Prior Notes and New Notes) would be converted, called or held at each decision point. Within the lattice model, the following assumptions are made: (i) the convertible note will be converted early if the conversion value is greater than the holding value and (ii) the convertible note will be called if the holding value is greater than both (a) redemption price and (b) the conversion value at the time. If the convertible note is called, the holder will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between (1) redeeming at the redemption price and (2) converting the convertible note. Using this lattice method, the Company valued the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 using the "with-and-without method", where the fair value of the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 including the embedded and freestanding features is defined as the "with", and the fair value of the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 excluding the embedded and freestanding features is defined as the "without". This method estimates the fair value of the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 by looking at the difference in the values of Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 with the embedded and freestanding derivatives and the fair value of Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 without the embedded and freestanding features. The lattice model uses the stock price, conversion price, maturity date, risk-free interest rate, estimated stock volatility and estimated credit spread. The Company remeasures the fair value of the debt instrument and records the change as a gain or loss from change in fair value of debt in the statement of operations for each reporting period.
Derivative Liabilities Recognized in Connection with the Issuance of Debt and Equity Instruments
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Company's derivative liabilities recognized in connection with the issuance of debt and equity instruments – either freestanding or embedded – measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Freestanding Derivative Instruments
In connection with the January 14, 2020 issuance of the New Senior Convertible Notes due 2022 as discussed above and in Note 4, “Debt” (which was accounted for as an extinguishment of the original $66 million Senior Convertible Notes due 2022), the Company issued warrants (the Warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3.0 million shares of common stock (the Warrant Shares). Due to stock exchange ownership limitations, which if exceeded would require shareholder approval and
possibly require cash settlement for failure to deliver shares upon exercise, the Company concluded that a portion of the Warrant Shares met the derivative scope exception and equity classification criteria and were accounted for as additional paid in capital, and a portion of the Warrant Shares did not meet the derivative scope exception or equity classification criteria and were accounted for as a derivative liability. The Warrants had an initial fair value of $4.1 million, which was recorded as: (i) $4.1 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, (ii) $2.4 million additional paid in capital and (iii) $1.7 million derivative liability. The Warrant Shares derivative liability portion will be remeasured each reporting period until settled or extinguished with subsequent changes in fair value recorded through the statement of operations. The fair value of the Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the input assumptions for liability classified warrants table in the valuation methodology section below. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Warrant Shares derivative liability portion was $1.5 million, and the Company recorded a $0.2 million gain on change in fair value of derivative instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
In connection with the January 31, 2020 private placement transaction with Foris Ventures LLC (an entity affiliated with director John Doerr and which beneficially owns greater than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock discussed in Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit”), the Company issued a right (the Right) to purchase up to an aggregate of 5.2 million shares of common stock (the Right Shares). Due to certain contractual provisions in the Right, the Company concluded that a portion of the Right Shares met the derivative scope exception and equity classification criteria and were accounted for as additional paid in capital, and a portion of the Right Shares did not meet the derivative scope exception or equity classification criteria and were accounted for as a derivative liability. The Right had an initial fair value of $5.3 million, of which $2.3 million was recorded as additional paid in capital and $3.0 million was recorded as a derivative liability. The Right Shares derivative liability portion will be remeasured each reporting period until settled or extinguished with subsequent changes in fair value recorded through the statement of operations. The fair value of the Right was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the input assumptions for liability classified warrants table in the valuation methodology section below. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Right Shares derivative liability portion was $2.0 million, and the Company recorded a $1.0 million gain on change in fair value of derivative instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
In connection with the January 31, 2020 Debt Equitization transaction with Foris, which was accounted for as a debt extinguishment as discussed in Note 4, “Debt” and Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit”, the Company issued rights (the Right) to purchase up to of 8.8 million shares of common stock at $2.87 per share for twelve months from the issuance date. The Company concluded that Right met the derivative scope exception and criteria to be accounted for in equity. The Right had a fair value of $8.9 million which was recorded as additional paid in capital and a charge to loss upon extinguishment of debt. The fair value of the Right was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the input assumptions for liability classified warrants table in the valuation methodology section below.
During the second half of 2019, the Company issued five freestanding liability warrants related to the September 2019 and November 2019 Schottenfeld Notes (the Schottenfeld Notes) and recorded at fair value as a derivative liability and debt discount on the respective issuance dates (see Note 4, “Debt” for further information). These freestanding liability warrants had a collective fair value of $7.0 million at December 31, 2019. As a result of the Foris Debt Equitization transaction on January 31, 2020 (see Note 4, “Debt” for further information), the variability causing these instruments to be recorded as a derivative liability was eliminated and upon derecognition of this liability into equity, the Company recorded a $1.8 million gain on change in fair value of derivative instruments and $5.2 million in additional paid in capital.
On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into forbearance agreements with certain affiliates of the Schottenfeld Group LLC (the Lenders) related to certain defaults under the Schottenfeld Notes. The transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment (see Note 4, “Debt” for further information). In connection with entering into the forbearance agreements, the Company committed to issuing new warrants (the New Warrants) to the Lenders under certain contingent events for 1.9 million shares of common stock at a $2.87 purchase price and a two-year term. The contingent obligation to issue the New Warrants did not meet the derivative scope exception or equity classification criteria and were accounted for as a derivative liability. The contingently issuable New Warrants derivative liability had an initial fair value of $3.2 million and was recorded as a derivative liability with a $3.2 million charge to loss upon extinguishment of debt. The New Warrants derivative liability will be remeasured each reporting period until settled or extinguished with subsequent changes in fair value recorded through the statement of operations. The fair value of the New Warrants derivative liability was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the input assumptions for liability classified warrants table in the valuation methodology section below. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the New Warrants derivative liability was $2.5 million, and the Company recorded a $0.7 million gain on change in fair value derivative instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Bifurcated Embedded Features in Debt Instruments
During the second half of 2019, the Company issued four debt instruments with embedded mandatory redemption features which were bifurcated from the debt host instruments and recorded at fair value as a derivative liability and debt discount. The
collective fair value of the four bifurcated derivatives totaled $2.8 million at December 31, 2019. In January and February 2020, the Company again modified certain key terms in three of the four underlying debt instruments, resulting in a debt extinguishment of the three modified debt instruments. Consequently, in the three months ended March 31, 2020, the collective fair value of the three extinguished bifurcated derivatives totaling $2.3 million was charged to loss upon extinguishment of debt and the $0.9 million collective fair value of the new bifurcated embedded mandatory redemption features was recorded as a derivative liability and new debt discount at the modification date. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis which is discussed in the valuation methodology and approach section below. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded mandatory redemption features was $1.8 million, and the Company recorded a $0.3 million gain on change in fair value derivative instruments.
Valuation Methodology and Approach to Measuring the Derivative Liabilities
The liabilities associated with the Company’s freestanding and embedded derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 represent the fair value of freestanding equity instruments and mandatory redemption features embedded in certain debt instruments. See Note 4, "Debt", and Note 6, "Stockholders' Deficit" for further information regarding these host instruments. There is no current observable market for these types of derivatives and, as such, the Company determined the fair value of the freestanding instrument or embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model or a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis measuring the fair value of the debt instrument both with and without the embedded feature, both of which are discussed in more detail below.
The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of its liability classified warrants as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Input assumptions for these freestanding instruments are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Range for the Period | |
Input assumptions for liability classified warrants: | March 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 |
Fair value of common stock on issue date | $2.56 – $3.19 | $3.09 – $4.76 |
Exercise price of warrants | $2.87 – $3.90 | $3.87 – $3.90 |
Expected volatility | 96% – 113% | 94% – 105% |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.17% – 1.58% | 1.58% – 1.67% |
Expected term in years | 0.85 – 2.00 | | 1.51 – 2.00 | |
Dividend yield | 0.0 | % | 0.0 % | |
The Company uses a probability weighted discounted cash flow model to measure the fair value of the mandatory redemption features embedded in the debt instruments modified in the first quarter of 2020. The model is designed to measure and determine if the debt instruments would be called or held at each decision point. Within the model, the following assumption is made: the underlying debt instrument will be called early if the change in control redemption value is greater than the holding value. If the underlying debt instrument is called, the holder will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between (i) redeeming at the redemption price and (ii) holding the instrument until maturity. Using this assumption, the Company valued the embedded derivatives on a "with-and-without method", where the fair value of each underlying debt instrument including the embedded derivative is defined as the "with", and the fair value of each underlying debt instrument excluding the embedded derivatives is defined as the "without". This method estimates the fair value of the embedded derivatives by comparing the fair value differential between the with and without mandatory redemption feature. The model incorporates the mandatory redemption price, time to maturity, risk-free interest rate, estimated credit spread and estimated probability of a change in control default event.
The market-based assumptions and estimates used in valuing the embedded derivative liabilities include amounts in the following ranges/amounts:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.25% - 1.62% | 1.6% - 1.7% |
Risk-adjusted discount yield | 20.0% - 27.0% | 20.0% - 27.0% |
Probability of change in control | 5.0% | 5.0% |
Credit spread | 18.7% - 26.8% | 18.4% - 25.4% |
Estimated conversion dates | 2022 - 2023 | 2022 - 2023 |
Changes in valuation assumptions can have a significant impact on the valuation of the embedded and freestanding derivative liabilities and debt that the Company elects to account for at fair value. For example, all other things being equal, generally, an increase in the Company’s stock price, change of control probability, risk-adjusted yields term to maturity/conversion or stock price volatility increases the value of the derivative liability.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Carrying Value
Financial Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and other current accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities and low market interest rates, if applicable. Loans payable and credit facilities are recorded at carrying value, which is representative of fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using observable market-based inputs (Level 2). The carrying amount (the total amount of net debt presented on the balance sheet) of the Company's debt at March 31, 2020 and at December 31, 2019, excluding the debt instruments recorded at fair value, was $153.6 million and $195.8 million, respectively. The fair value of such debt at March 31, 2020 and at December 31, 2019 was $136.8 million and $194.8 million, respectively, and was determined by (i) discounting expected cash flows using current market discount rates estimated for certain of the debt instruments and (ii) using third-party fair value estimates for the remaining debt instruments.

Exchange of Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022
On January 14, 2020, the Company completed the exchange of the Company’s $66 million Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 (or the Prior Notes), pursuant to separate exchange agreements (the Exchange Agreements) with certain private investors (the Holders), for (i) new senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $51 million (the New Notes or New Senior Convertible Notes due 2022), (ii) an aggregate of 2,742,160 shares of common stock (the Exchange Shares), (iii) rights (the Rights) to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,484,321 shares of common stock (the Rights Shares), (iv) warrants (the Warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the Warrant Shares) at an exercise price of $3.25 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance, (v) accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 (payable on or prior to January 31, 2020) and (vi) cash fees in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million (payable on or prior to January 31, 2020). The Exchange Shares and Warrants were issued on January 14, 2020. The unpaid interest and cash fees were paid in accordance with the Exchange Agreements. The Rights were exercised by the Holder and common stock shares issued by the Company according to the terms of the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 on February 24, 2020.
The New Notes have substantially similar terms as the Prior Notes, except under the New Notes (i) the requirement to redeem an aggregate principal amount of $10 million on December 31, 2019 was eliminated, (ii) the Company would be required to redeem the New Notes in an aggregate amount of $10 million following the receipt by the Company of at least $80 million of aggregate net cash proceeds from one or more financing transactions, and at a price of 107% of the amount being redeemed, (iii) the financing activity requirement was reduced such that the Company would be required to raise aggregate net cash proceeds of $50 million from one or more financing transactions by January 31, 2020, (iv) the Company would have until January 31, 2020 to comply with certain covenants related to the repayment, conversion or exchange into equity or amendment of certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company, and (v) the deadline for the Company to seek stockholder approval for the Holders to exceed a 19.99% stock exchange ownership limitation (the Stockholder Approval) would be extended from January 31, 2020 to March 15, 2020.
Due to multiple changes in key provisions of the Prior Notes, the Company analyzed the before and after cash flows between the (i) fair value of the New Notes and (ii) reacquisition price of the Prior Notes resulting from the (A) decreased principal from $66 million to $51 million, (B) fair value of the Exchange Shares, (C) fair value of the Rights, (D) fair value of the Warrants and (E) cash fees to be paid prior to January 31, 2020 to determine whether these changes resulted in a
modification or extinguishment of the Prior Notes. Based on the before and after cash flows of each note, the change was significantly different. Consequently, the Exchange Agreements were accounted for as a debt extinguishment of the Prior Notes and a new debt issuance of the New Notes. The Company recorded a $5.3 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which was comprised of the $4.1 million fair value of the Warrants (considered a non-cash fee paid to the lender), the $1.0 million cash fee and $0.2 million excess fair value of the Exchange Shares and Rights Shares over the contractual value. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” for further information on the accounting treatment of the Exchange Shares and Rights Shares upon issuance of the New Notes. Also, see Note 3, “Fair Value Measurement” for more information regarding the valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the Warrants.
The Company elected to account for the New Notes at fair value, as of the January 14, 2020 issuance date. Management believes that the fair value option better reflects the underlying economics of the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022, which contain multiple embedded derivatives. Under the fair value election, changes in fair value will be reported in the consolidated statements of operations as "Gain (loss) from change in fair value of debt" in each reporting period subsequent to the issuance of the New Notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $1.1 million, which is shown as Fair Value Adjustment in the table at the beginning of this Note 4. See Note 3, "Fair Value Measurement" for information about the assumptions that the Company used to measure the fair value of the Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022.
On February 18, 2020, the Company and the Holders entered into separate waiver and forbearance agreements, (the W&F Agreements), pursuant to which the Holders agreed to, for 60 days following the date of the W&F Agreement, except in case of early termination of the W&F Agreement or, solely with respect to the Stockholder Approval if the other defaults described below have been cured on or prior to the date that is 60 days following the date of the W&F Agreement, until May 31, 2020 (the W&F Period), and in each case subject to certain conditions to effectiveness contained in the W&F Agreement, (i) forbear from exercising certain of their rights and remedies with respect to certain defaults by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company's failure, on or before January 31, 2020, (A) to receive aggregated net cash proceeds of not less than $50 million from one or more financing transactions, (B) to repay in full or convert into equity the $20.4 million of indebtedness outstanding under the Schottenfeld Credit Agreements (discussed under the Schottenfeld Forbearance Agreement below) or amend all such indebtedness outstanding to fit within the definition of permitted indebtedness of the New Notes, and certain other events of default, and (ii) waive any event of default for (A) violations of the minimum liquidity covenant since December 31, 2019 and (B) failure to obtain the Stockholder Approval prior to March 15, 2020.
In addition, pursuant to the W&F Agreements, the Company and the Holders agreed that (i) the New Note amortization payment due on March 1, 2020 would be in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million (the Amortization Payment)e split proportionally among the Holders and that the Company would elect to pay such amortization payment in shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the New Notes, provided however, that: (A) the Amortization Stock Payment Price (as defined in the New Notes) would be $3.00, (B) the Amortization Share Payment Period (as defined in the New Notes) with respect to the Amortization Payment would end on April 30, 2020 rather than March 31, 2020; and (C) in the event that Holder did not elect to receive the full Amortization Share Amount (as defined in the New Notes) during such Amortization Share Payment Period, then the Amortization Payment would be automatically reduced by the portion of such Amortization Payment not received by the Holder, (ii) there would be no amortization payment due on April 1, 2020, and (iii) the amortization payment due on May 1, 2020 would be in the aggregate amount of $8.9 million split proportionally among the Holders. The W&F Agreements were accounted for as a debt modification, as the before and after cash flows were not significantly different.
On May 1, 2020, the Company and the Holders entered into amendments to the New Note and the W&F Agreements, respectively. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for further information.
Debt Equitization – Foris, Related Party
The Company had two loans payable to Foris Ventures, LLC (Foris) with a total principal balance of $110.0 million (excluding capitalized interest of $5.3 million) at December 31, 2019. Foris is an entity affiliated with director John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a current stockholder, and an owner of greater than five percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The first loan (Foris $19 million Note) is a $19 million unsecured borrowing that accrued interest at 12% per annum and matured on January 1, 2023. The second loan (Foris LSA) is a $91.0 million secured borrowing that accrues interest at 12.5% per annum and matures on March 1, 2023. The Foris LSA requires quarterly principal payments and monthly interest payments.
On January 31, 2020, the Company completed a series of equity transactions with Foris that resulted in the Company (i) reducing its aggregate debt principal with Foris by $60.0 million and accrued interest and fees due to Foris by $9.9 million (including $5.4 million of capitalized interest), (ii) issuing an aggregate of 19,287,780 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $2.84 per share for an aggregate of
$54.8 million, (iii) issuing an aggregate of 5,279,171 shares of common stock at $2.87 per share for an aggregate of $15.1 million in a private placement, and (iv) issuing rights (the Rights) to purchase an aggregate of 8,778,230 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, for an exercise term of 12 months. The exercise price of the outstanding warrants and the purchase price of the private placement common stock was paid through the cancellation of principal and accrued interest and fees totaling $69.9 million. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” for information on the accounting treatment of the various equity related instruments.
As a result of the transaction described above, on January 31, 2020, the principal balance of the Foris $19 million Note and accrued but unpaid interest was fully settled thru the exercise price of certain of outstanding warrants. Upon settlement of the Foris $19 million Note, the Company recorded a $5.7 million loss upon extinguishment debt, which was comprised of $6.1 million of unaccreted discount, less the $0.4 million fair value of the extinguished bifurcated derivative liability.
In addition, this series of equity transactions directly impacted the cash flows of the Foris LSA and, as a result, the Company analyzed the before and after cash flows resulting from the significant decrease in principal, the warrant exercise price modifications and the issuance rights to purchase additional shares of common stock at $2.87, to determine whether these changes result in a modification or extinguishment of the Foris LSA. Based on the before and after cash flows, the change was significantly different. Consequently, the accelerated paydown of the Foris LSA loan balance through the exercise price of the remaining outstanding warrants and the purchase price of the private placement common stock was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and a new debt issuance. The Company recorded a $10.4 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which was comprised of $8.9 million fair value of the Rights and $3.1 million of unaccreted discount, less the $1.6 million fair value of the extinguished bifurcated derivative liability. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” for further information on the valuation methodology and related accounting treatment of the Rights. In recording the new debt issuance, the Company capitalized $0.7 million for the initial fair value of the embedded mandatory redemption feature as a debt discount to be amortized to interest expense under the effective interest method over the term of the remaining term of the new debt issuance.
Schottenfeld Forbearance Agreement
The Company, and Schottenfeld Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (Schottenfeld) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the Lenders) are parties (i) to certain Credit Agreements, each dated September 10, 2019 (collectively, the September Credit Agreements) and (ii) to a Credit and Security Agreement, dated November 14, 2019 (the CSA, and collectively with the September Credit Agreements, the Credit Agreements), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Lenders certain notes (the September Notes and the November Notes, respectively, and collectively, the Schottenfeld Notes) and warrants (the September Warrants and the November Warrants, respectively, and collectively, the Schottenfeld Warrants) to purchase shares (the Warrant Shares) of the Company’s common stock. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” for further information. Indebtedness under the September Notes total $12.5 million, accrue interest at 12% per annum and mature on January 1, 2023. Indebtedness under the November Notes total $7.9 million, accrue interest at 12% per annum and originally matured on January 15, 2020. The Company failed to repay the $7.9 million November Notes by January 15, 2020.
On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders would forbear, for 60 days from the date of the Forbearance Agreement, unless terminated earlier (the Forbearance Period), to exercise certain rights as a result of the Company’s defaults under the Credit Agreements and related Schottenfeld Notes, including the failure of the Company to (i) to pay all principal and accrued interest on the November Notes at the maturity date, (ii) the failure to pay on or before December 31, 2019, all accrued and unpaid interest through December 31, 2019 on the September Notes, and (iii) the failure, on or before December 15, 2019, to convert or exchange at least $60 million, but not less than 100%, of certain junior outstanding indebtedness into equity in the Company, and certain other events of default. Under the forbearance agreement the Company agreed to (i) pay a late fee of 5% on any obligations under the November Notes not paid in full on or before the last day of the Forbearance Period; (ii) pay on or prior to the earliest to occur of April 19, 2020 or the last day of the Forbearance Period, (A) all interest due pursuant to the November Notes and the September Notes, plus all interest accruing on such unpaid interest, plus all interest accrued on account of the November Notes and the September Notes from the date of the Forbearance Agreement through the date of such payment, and (B) a forbearance fee in the amount of $150,000; (iii) pay, upon signature of the Forbearance Agreement, $150,000 as a partial payment of the interest that has accrued pursuant to the November Notes and the September Notes as of the date of the Forbearance Agreement; (iv) issue new warrants upon the occurrence of certain contingent events and (v) amend the Schottenfeld Warrants to (A) reduce the exercise price of each Schottenfeld Warrant to $2.87 per share, and (B) with respect to the November Warrants, extend the deadline to register the Warrant Shares for resale by the Holders.
Due to multiple changes in key provisions of Schottenfeld Credit Agreements, the Company analyzed the before and after cash flows resulting from the warrant modification and forbearance fee to determine whether these changes result in a modification or extinguishment of the original Schottenfeld and Phase Five notes. Based on the combined before and after cash flows of each note, the change was significantly different. Consequently, the modifications resulting from the forbearance
agreement were accounted for as a debt extinguishment and a new debt issuance. The Company recorded a $5.6 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which was comprised of the $3.2 million fair value of contingent warrant issuance obligation, the $1.3 million incremental fair value of the modified warrants, $1.1 million of unaccreted discount and the forbearance fee, less the balance of the extinguished bifurcated derivative liability. In recording the new debt issuance, the Company capitalized $0.2 million of legal fees and $0.2 million for the initial fair value of the embedded mandatory redemption feature as a debt discount to be amortized to interest expense under the effective interest method over the term of the remaining term of the new debt issuance.
On April 19, 2020, the Company failed to pay the amounts due under the Schottenfeld Forbearance Agreement, including the past due interest on the September Notes, and has been unable to obtain a waiver or extension for the past due amounts. As a result, $20.4 million of principal outstanding under the Schottenfeld Notes has been classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. See Note 4, “Debt” for information. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for information.
2014 Rule 144A Note Exchange and Extensions – Total, Related Party
On March 11, 2020, the Company and Total entered into a Senior Convertible Note Maturity Extension Agreement (the Extension Agreement) due to the Company’s failure to pay the $10.2 million principal amount due under the December 20, 2019 reissued 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Notes that matured on January 31, 2020. The Extension Agreement resulted in the reissuance and extension of the December 20, 2019 promissory note to March 31, 2020. Under the terms of the extension agreement, the Company paid Total $1.5 million to satisfy all accrued but unpaid interest and to reduce the principal balance of the reissued note by $1.1 million. The reissued note: (i) has a maturity date of March 31, 2020, (ii) has a $9.1 million principal amount due, (iii) accrues interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, and (iv) has terms substantially identical to the December 20, 2019 promissory note. The Extension Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification, as the before and after cash flows were not significantly different.
The Company subsequently entered into new Senior Convertible Note Maturity extensions effective on (i) March 31, 2020 to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2020, and (ii) effective on April 30, 2020, to extend the maturity date to the earlier of the day the Company receives cash proceeds from any private placement of its equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020. The amended notes have terms substantially identical to the March 11, 2019 promissory note. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for information.
Ginkgo Waiver Agreement
On March 11, 2020, the Company and Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. (Ginkgo) entered into a Waiver Agreement and Amendment to Partnership Agreement (the Ginkgo Waiver), pursuant to the terms of (i) the Ginkgo promissory note dated October 20, 2017, issued by the Company to Ginkgo (as amended, the Ginkgo Note), (ii) the Ginkgo Partnership Agreement, dated October 20, 2017, by and between the Company and Ginkgo, and (iii) the Waiver Agreement and Amendment to Ginkgo Note, dated September 29, 2019, by and between the Company and Ginkgo, pursuant to which Ginkgo agreed to (i) waive the Company’s failure to pay past due interest and partnership payments, including interest thereon of $6.7 million by December 15, 2019, and to comply with a reporting covenant prior to March 31, 2020, (iii) to make a prior waiver fee payment of $0.5 million on December 15, 2019, (ii) waive any cross defaults due to events of default under other debt obligations by the Company, (iii) amend payments on the Ginkgo Partnership Agreement beginning on March 31, 2020 to a monthly payment of $0.5 million through and including October 31, 2021, and (iv) to defer all past due payments totaling $7.2 million until April 30, 2020. The Ginkgo Waiver was accounted for as a debt modification, as the before and after cash flows were not significantly different.
On May 6, 2020, the Company subsequently entered into a waiver agreement under which the maturity date for all past due amounts to Ginkgo was extended to the earlier of the day the Company receives cash proceeds from any private placement of its equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for information.
Nikko Secured Loan Agreement Amendment
On March 12, 2020, the Company and Nikko Chemicals Co. Ltd. (Nikko), entered into an amendment to the secured loan agreement (Loan Agreement) under which the Company paid Nikko $0.5 million to reduce the principal balance of the Loan Agreement to $4.0 million, extended the maturity date of the loan from January 31, 2020 to March 31, 2020 and increased the interest rate to 8.0% per annum. The loan (i) matures on March 31, 2020, (ii) accrues interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum, and (iii) is secured by a first-priority lien on 27.2% of the Aprinnova JV interests owned by the Company. The Loan Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification, as the before and after cash flows were not significantly different.
On April 3, 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement under which the maturity date of the loan was extended to April 30, 2020. In addition, on May 7, 2020, the Company subsequently entered into a third amendment to the Loan Agreement under which the maturity date of the loan was extended to May 31, 2020. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for information.

5. Mezzanine Equity
Mezzanine equity at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is comprised of proceeds from shares of common stock sold on May 10, 2016 to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Gates Foundation). In connection with the stock sale, the Company and the Gates Foundation entered into an agreement under which the Company agreed to expend an aggregate amount not less than the proceeds from the stock sale to develop a yeast strain that produces artemisinic acid and/or amorphadiene at a low cost and to supply such artemisinic acid and amorphadiene to companies qualified to convert artemisinic acid and amorphadiene to artemisinin for inclusion in artemisinin combination therapies used to treat malaria. If the Company defaults in its obligation to use the proceeds from the stock sale as set forth above or defaults under certain other commitments in the agreement, the Gates Foundation will have the right to request that the Company redeem, or facilitate the purchase by a third party, the shares then held by the Gates Foundation at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the redemption or purchase, as applicable, or (ii) an amount equal to $17.10 plus a compounded annual return of 10%.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company's remaining research and development obligation under this arrangement was $0.4 million.
6. Stockholders' Deficit
Foris Warrant Exercises for Cash
On January 13, 2020, Foris Ventures, LLC (Foris), an entity affiliated with director John Doerr and which beneficially owns greater than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, delivered to the Company an irrevocable notice of cash exercise with respect to a warrant to purchase 4,877,386 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, pursuant to a warrant issued by the Company on August 17, 2018. The Company received approximately $14.0 million from Foris in connection with the warrant exercise representing 4,877,386 shares of common stock issued and recorded $14.0 million as additional paid in capital.
On March 11, 2020, Foris provided to the Company a notice of cash exercise to purchase 5,226,481 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, pursuant to the PIPE Rights (discussed in the January 2020 Private Placement section below) issued by the Company on January 31, 2020. On March 12, 2020, the Company received approximately $15.0 million from Foris in connection with the PIPE Rights exercise. The Company and Foris agreed to defer the issuance of the shares until such time as shareholder approval has been obtained to increase the Company’s authorized share count. The PIPE Rights exercise proceeds were recorded as additional paid in capital as there is no contractual obligation to return the consideration if shareholder approval is not obtained.
January 2020 Warrant Amendments and Exercises, Foris Debt Equitization and Private Placement
As described below in further detail, on January 31, 2020, the Company completed a series of equity transactions that resulted in the Company (i) receiving $28.3 million in cash, (ii) reducing its aggregate debt principal by $60.0 million and accrued interest by approximately $9.9 million, (iii) issuing an aggregate of (A) 25,326,095 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise of outstanding warrants, and (B) 13,989,973 new shares of common stock in private placements, and (iv) issuing rights to purchase an aggregate of 18,649,961 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, for an exercise term of 12 months. See Note 4, “Debt” for more information regarding the accounting treatment of the $60.0 million debt reduction.
Warrant Amendments and Exercises by Certain Holders
On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into separate warrant amendment agreements (the Warrant Amendments) with certain holders (the Warrant Holders) of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock, pursuant to which the exercise price of certain warrants (the Amended Warrants) held by the Warrant Holders totaling 1.2 million shares was reduced to $2.87 per share. In connection with the entry into the Warrant Amendments, on January 31, 2020 the Warrant Holders exercised their Amended Warrants, representing an aggregate of 1,160,929 shares of common stock (the Warrant Amendment Shares), and the Company issued the Warrant Amendment Shares to the Holders along with a right to purchase an aggregate of 1,160,929 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, for an exercise term of twelve months from the January 31, 2020 issuance (the Rights). The Company received net proceeds of $3.3 million from the exercise of the Amended Warrants and recorded the $3.3 million as additional paid in capital. The Company also measured the before and after fair value of the Amended Warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and determined there was no incremental value to record related to the purchase price reduction. Further, the Rights warrants met the derivative scope exception and equity classification criteria to be accounted for in equity.
Warrant Amendments and Exercises, Common Stock Purchase and Debt Equitization by Foris – Related Party
On January 31, 2020, the Company and Foris entered into certain warrant amendment agreements (the Foris Warrant Amendments) totaling 10.2 million shares of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock, pursuant to which the exercise price of these certain warrants (the Amended Foris Warrants) was reduced to $2.87 per share. In connection with the Foris Warrant Amendments, on January 31, 2020 (i) Foris exercised all of its then outstanding common stock purchase warrants, including the Amended Foris Warrants, totaling 19,287,780 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $2.84 per share for an aggregate exercise price of $54.8 million (the Exercise Price), and purchased 5,279,171 shares of common stock (the Foris Shares) at $2.87 per share for a total purchase price of $15.1 million (Purchase Price), (ii) Foris paid the Exercise Price and the Purchase Price through the cancellation of $60 million of principal and $9.9 million of accrued interest and fees owed by the Company to Foris under the Foris $19 million Note and the Foris LSA (which was treated as a debt extinguishment as discussed in Note 4, "Debt") and (iii) the Company issued to Foris the Foris Shares and an additional right (the Additional Right) to purchase 8,778,230 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.87 per share, for a period of 12 months from the execution of the warrant exercise agreement.
Upon exercise of the Amended Foris Warrants and issuance of the Foris Shares, the Company recorded a $69.9 million increase to additional paid in capital. The Company also measured the before and after fair value of the Amended Foris Warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and determined there was no incremental value to record related to the purchase price reduction. Further, the Company concluded the Additional Rights met the derivative scope exception and criteria to be accounted for in equity and recorded the $8.9 million fair value of the Additional Rights to additional paid in capital and loss upon extinguishment of debt. The fair value was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the following input assumptions: (i) $2.56 stock price, (ii) 112% volatility, (iii) 1.45% risk free rate and (iv) 0% dividend.
January 2020 Private Placement
On January 31, 2020 the Company entered into separate Security Purchase Agreements with certain accredited investors and Foris, for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 8,710,802 shares of common stock and rights to purchase an aggregate of 8,710,802 shares of common stock (PIPE Rights) at a purchase price of $2.87 per share, for a period of 12 months for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million. The $25 million in proceeds was recorded as additional paid in capital. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurement” for information regarding the valuation methodology used to determine fair value and the related accounting treatment of the PIPE rights.
Principal Conversion into Common Stock and New Warrants Issued in Exchange of Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022
On January 14, 2020, the Company completed the exchange of the Company’s $66 million Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 (or the Prior Notes), pursuant to separate exchange agreements (the Exchange Agreements) with certain private investors (the Holders), for (i) new senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $51 million (the New Notes or New Senior Convertible Notes due 2022), (ii) an aggregate of 2,742,160 shares of common stock (the Exchange Shares), (iii) rights (the Rights) to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,484,321 shares of common stock (the Rights Shares), and (iv) warrants (the Warrants) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the Warrant Shares) at an exercise price of $3.25 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance, The New Notes, Exchange Shares, Rights and Warrants were issued on January 14, 2020. The Rights were exercised by the Holder and the Rights Shares were issued by the Company according to the terms of the New Senior Convertible Notes Due 2022 on February 24, 2020. The contractual value of the Exchange Shares and Rights Shares was $2.87 per share. Upon issuance of the New Notes, Exchange Shares and Rights, the $15.0 million of debt principal was extinguished and the $15.2 million fair value of the Exchange Shares and Rights Shares was recorded as additional paid in capital. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurement” for more information regarding the valuation methodology used to determine the fair value and the related accounting treatment of the Warrants, and see Note 4, “Debt” for further information on the accounting treatment and the terms of the note exchange.

7. Loss per Share
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, basic loss per share was the same as diluted loss per share, because the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was antidilutive.
The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights if the participating security contractually participates in losses. The Company’s convertible preferred stock are participating securities as they contractually entitle the holders of such shares to participate in dividends and contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share:

Loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $ | (0.56) | | $ | (0.82) | |
The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share of common stock because including them would have been antidilutive:
| | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| 2020 | 2019 |
Period-end common stock warrants | 50,518,519 | | 26,411,761 | |
Convertible promissory notes(1) | 9,217,185 | | 12,699,607 | |
Period-end stock options to purchase common stock | 5,578,264 | | 5,427,384 | |
Period-end restricted stock units | 5,298,639 | | 5,493,579 | |
Period-end preferred stock | 1,943,661 | | 2,955,732 | |
Total potentially dilutive securities excluded from computation of diluted loss per share | 72,556,268 | | 52,988,063 | |
______________
(1) The potentially dilutive effect of convertible promissory notes was computed based on conversion ratios in effect as of the respective period end dates. A portion of the convertible promissory notes issued carries a provision for a reduction in conversion price under certain circumstances, which could potentially increase the dilutive shares outstanding. Another portion of the convertible promissory notes issued carries a provision for an increase in the conversion rate under certain circumstances, which could also potentially increase the dilutive shares outstanding.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
The Company has levied indirect taxes on sugarcane-based biodiesel sales that took place several years ago by Amyris Brasil Ltda. (see Note 12, “Divestiture” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2019 Form 10-K) to customers in Brazil, based on advice from external legal counsel. In the absence of definitive rulings from the Brazilian tax authorities on the appropriate indirect tax rate to be applied to such product sales, the actual indirect rate to be applied to such sales could differ from the rate the Company levied.
On April 3, 2019, a securities class action complaint was filed against Amyris and our CEO, John G. Melo, and former CFO (and current Chief Business Officer), Kathleen Valiasek, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that would comprise all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between March 15, 2018 and March 19, 2019. The complaint, which was amended by the lead plaintiff on September 13, 2019, alleges securities law violations based on statements and omissions made by the Company during such period. On October 25, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the securities class action complaint. The hearing on such motion to dismiss was held on February 18, 2020 and we are awaiting a ruling from the Court. Subsequent to the filing of the securities class action complaint described above, on June 21, 2019 and October 1, 2019, respectively, two separate purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Bonner v. Doerr, et al., and Carlson v. Doerr, et al.) based on similar allegations to those made in the securities class action complaint described above and named the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The derivative lawsuits sought to recover, on the Company’s behalf, unspecified damages purportedly sustained by the Company in connection with allegedly misleading statements and omissions made in connection with the Company’s securities filings. The derivative lawsuits were dismissed on October 18, 2019 (Bonner) and December 10, 2019 (Carlson), without prejudice. We believe the securities class action complaint lacks merit, and intend to continue to defend ourselves vigorously. Given the early stage of these proceedings, it is not yet possible to reliably determine any potential liability that could result from these matters.
The Company is subject to disputes and claims that arise or have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not resulted in legal proceedings or have not been fully adjudicated. Such matters that may arise in the ordinary course of business are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with reasonable assurance and therefore an estimate of all the reasonably possible losses cannot be determined at this time. Therefore, if one or more of these legal disputes or claims resulted in settlements or legal proceedings that were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management's expectations, the Company's consolidated financial statements for the relevant reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
Other Matters
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but will only be recorded when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against and by the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

On May 2, 2019, the Company consummated a research, collaboration and license agreement (the Cannabinoid Agreement) with LAVVAN, Inc., a newly formed investment-backed company (Lavvan), for up to $300 million to develop, manufacture and commercialize cannabinoids, subject to certain closing conditions. The Company is performing research and development activities, and Lavvan is responsible for manufacturing and commercialization, related to the cannabinoids developed in accordance with the Cannabinoid Agreement. The Cannabinoid Agreement principally funds milestones that include both technical R&D targets and completion of production campaigns, with the Company also entitled to receive certain supplementary research and development funding from Lavvan. Additionally, the Cannabinoid Agreement provides for profit share to the Company on Lavvan's gross profit margin once the cannabinoid products are commercialized; such payments will be due for the following 20 years. The Company could receive aggregate funding of up to $300 million over the term of the Cannabinoid Agreement if all of the milestones are achieved. Additionally, the Cannabinoid Agreement provides for profit share to the Company on Lavvan's gross profit margin once products are commercialized; these payments will be due for the next 20 years. On May 2, 2019, the parties formed a special purpose entity to hold certain intellectual property created during the collaboration (the Cannabinoid Collaboration IP), the licensing of certain Company intellectual property to Lavvan, the licensing of the Cannabinoid Collaboration IP to the Company and Lavvan, and the granting by the Company to Lavvan of a lien on the Company background intellectual property being licensed to Lavvan under the Cannabinoid Agreement, which lien would be subordinated to the lien on such intellectual property under the Foris LSA (see Note 4, “Debt”). On March 11, 2020, the parties revised the agreement to reflect product specifications and cost assumptions.
The Cannabinoid Agreement is accounted for as a revenue contract under ASC 606, with the total transaction price estimated and updated on a quarterly basis, subject to the variable consideration constraint guidance in ASC 606 using the most likely outcome method to estimate the variable consideration associated with the identified performance obligation. The Company concluded the agreement contained a single performance obligation of research and development services provided continuously over time. The Company estimated the total unconstrained transaction price to be $145 million, based on a high probability of achieving certain underlying milestones. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has constrained $155 million of variable consideration related to milestones that have not met the criteria necessary under ASC 606 to be included in the transaction price. The Company concluded the performance obligation is delivered over time and that revenue recognition is based on an input measure of progress of hours incurred compared to total estimated hours to be incurred (i.e., proportional performance). Estimates of variable consideration are updated quarterly, with cumulative adjustments to revenue recorded as necessary. The Company has recognized $18.3 million of cumulative revenue to date, and at March 31, 2020 has recorded an $8.3 million contract asset in connection with the Cannabinoid Agreement.
DSM Ingredients Collaboration
In September 2017, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with DSM (DSM Collaboration Agreement) to jointly develop a new molecule in the Clean Health market using the Company’s technology (DSM Ingredient), which the Company would have the sole right to manufacture, and DSM would commercialize. Pursuant to the DSM Collaboration
Agreement, DSM provides funding for the development of the DSM Ingredients in the form of milestone-based payments and, upon commercialization, the parties would enter into supply agreements whereby DSM would purchase the applicable DSM Ingredient from the Company at prices agreed by the parties. The development services are directed by a joint steering committee with equal representation by DSM and the Company and are governed by a milestone project plan. The timing of milestone achievements is which is subject to review and revision as agreed by the joint steering committee. In addition, the parties will share profit margin from DSM’s sales of products that incorporate the DSM Ingredient subject to the DSM Collaboration Agreement.
The DSM Collaboration Agreement is accounted for as a revenue contract under ASC 606, and has a total transaction price of $14.1 million, subject to the variable consideration constraint guidance in ASC 606 using the most likely outcome method to estimate the variable consideration associated with the identified performance obligations. The Company concluded the agreement contained three performance obligations of research and development services that are delivered over time and that revenue recognition is based on an input measure of progress as labor hours are expended in the achievement of each milestone. The Company has recognized $7.9 million of cumulative to date collaboration revenues.
Yifan Collaborations
From September 2018 to December 2019, the Company entered into a series of license and collaboration agreements, culminating in a master services agreement for research and development services, with a subsidiary of Yifan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Yifan), a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company. Upon execution of the master services agreement in December 2019 (the Collaboration Agreement), the Company evaluated and concluded that the series of agreements should be combined and accounted for as a single revenue contract under ASC 606.
The Yifan Collaboration Agreement has a total transaction price of $21.0 million, subject to the variable consideration constraint guidance in ASC 606 using the most likely outcome method to estimate the variable consideration associated with the identified performance obligation. The Company concluded the Collaboration Agreement contained a single performance obligation of research and development services provided continuously over time. The Collaboration Agreement provides for upfront and periodic payments based on project milestones. The Company concluded the performance obligation is delivered over time and that revenue recognition is based on an input measure of progress of hours incurred compared to total estimated hours to be incurred (i.e., proportional performance). Estimates of variable consideration are updated quarterly, with cumulative adjustments to revenue recorded as necessary. The Company recognized $2.7 million of collaboration revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2020, and $8.9 million of cumulative-to-date collaboration revenue. The Company has also recorded a $0.9 million contract asset in connection with the Collaboration Agreement.
DSM Value Sharing Agreement
The original December 2017 DSM Value Sharing Agreement was accounted for as a single performance obligation in connection with a license with fixed and determinable consideration and variable consideration that was accounted for pursuant to the sales-based royalty scope exception. The April 16, 2019 assignment of the December 2017 DSM Value Sharing Agreement was accounted for as a contract modification under ASC 606, resulting in additional fixed and determinable consideration of $37.1 million and variable consideration of $12.5 million in the form of a stand-ready obligation to refund some or all of the $12.5 million consideration if certain criteria outlined in the assignment agreement are not met by December 2021. The Company periodically updates its estimate of amounts to be refunded and reduces the refund liability by recording additional license and royalty revenue as the Company’s estimate of the refund obligation decreases. The Company recorded $8.8 million of license and royalty revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to a change in the estimated refund liability and recorded the remaining $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to a change in the Company’s estimate of the refund liability.
In connection with the significant revenue agreements discussed above and others previously disclosed (see Note 9, “Revenue Recognition” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2019 Form 10-K), the Company recognized the following revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Overview
As a leading biotechnology company, we apply our technology platform to engineer, manufacture and sell high performance, natural, sustainably sourced products into the Clean Health & Beauty, and Flavor & Fragrance markets. Our proven technology platform enables us to rapidly engineer microbes and use them as catalysts to metabolize renewable, plant-sourced sugars into large volume, high-value ingredients. Our platform, combined with our proprietary fermentation process, replaces existing complex and expensive manufacturing processes. We have successfully used our technology to develop and produce nine distinct molecules at commercial volumes, leading to more than 17 commercial ingredients used by thousands of leading global brands.
We believe that synthetic biology represents a third industrial revolution, bringing together biology and engineering to generate new, more sustainable materials to meet the growing global demand for bio-based replacements for petroleum-based and traditional animal- or plant-derived ingredients. We continue to build demand for our current portfolio of products through an extensive sales network provided by our collaboration partners that represent leading companies for our target market sectors. We also have a small group of direct sales and distributors who support our Clean Beauty market and proprietary sweetener product, purecane. Via our partnership model, our partners invest in the development of each molecule to bring it from the lab to commercial-scale and use their extensive sales force to sell our ingredients and formulations to their customers as part of their core business. We capture long-term revenue both through the production and sale of the molecule to our partners and through royalty revenues from our partners' product sales to their customers.
We were founded in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay area by a group of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley. Our first major milestone came in 2005 when, through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we developed technology capable of creating microbial strains that produce artemisinic acid, a precursor of artemisinin, an effective anti-malarial drug. Building on our success with artemisinic acid, in 2007 we began applying our technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell sustainable alternatives to a broad range of markets. We focused our initial development efforts primarily on the production of Biofene®, our brand of renewable farnesene, a long-chain, branched hydrocarbon molecule that we manufacture through fermentation using engineered microbes. The commercialization of farnesene pushed us to create a more cost efficient, faster and accurate development process in the lab and to drive manufacturing costs down. This investment has enabled our technology platform to rapidly develop microbial strains and commercialize target molecules. In 2014, we began manufacturing additional molecules for the Flavor & Fragrance industry; in 2015 we began investing to expand our capabilities to other small molecule chemical classes beyond terpenes via our collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA); and in 2016 we expanded into proteins.
Several years ago, we made the strategic decision to transition our business model from collaborating and commercializing molecules in low margin commodity markets to higher margin specialty markets. We began the transition by first commercializing and supplying farnesene-derived squalane as a cosmetic ingredient sold to formulators and distributors. We also entered into collaboration and supply agreements for the development and commercialization of molecules within the
Flavor & Fragrance and Clean Beauty markets where we utilize our strain generation technology to develop molecules that meet the customer’s rigorous specifications. During this transition, we solidified the business model of partnering with our customers to create sustainable, high performing, low-cost molecules that replace an ingredient in their supply chain, commercially scale and manufacture those molecules, and share in the profits earned by our customers once our customer sells its product into these specialty markets. These three steps constitute our grants and collaborations revenues, renewable product revenues, and royalty revenues.
During 2017, we completed several development agreements with DSM and others for new products such as Vitamin A, a human nutrition molecule and others, and in late 2018 we began commercial production and shipment of an alternative sweetener product developed from the Reb M molecule, purecane, which is a superior sweetener and sugar replacement. We monetized the use of one of our lower margin molecules, farnesene, in the Vitamin E and Lubricants specialty markets while retaining any associated royalties, and licensed farnesene to DSM for use in these fields. We also sold our subsidiary Amyris Brasil Ltda. (Amyris Brasil), which operated our purpose-built, large-scale manufacturing facility located in Brotas, Brazil, to DSM in December 2017. The Brotas facility was built to batch manufacture one commodity product at a time (originally for high-volume production of biofuels, a business Amyris has exited), which is an inefficient manufacturing process that is not suited for the high margin specialty markets in which we operate today. The inefficiencies we experienced included having to idle the facility for two weeks at a time to prepare for the next product batch manufacture, causing significantly higher costs of products sold. As a result, we are building a new purpose-built, large-scale specialty ingredients plant in Brazil, which we anticipate will allow for the manufacture of five products concurrently, including our alternative sweetener product, and over 10 different products annually. In September 2019, we obtained the necessary permits and broke ground on our new specialty ingredients plant and expect the facility to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2021. During construction, we are manufacturing our products at four contract manufacturing sites in Brazil, the U.S. and Spain. Finally, as part of the December 2017 sale of Brotas, we contracted with DSM for the use of Brotas to manufacture products for us to fulfill our product supply commitments to our customers until the new production facility is built and becomes operational; in November 2018, we amended the supply agreement with DSM to secure capacity at the Brotas facility for production of our alternative sweetener product through 2022.
In May 2019 we entered into an agreement with Raizen Energia S.A. (Raizen) for the formation and operation of a joint venture relating to the production, sale and commercialization of alternative sweetener products whereby the parties would construct a manufacturing facility exclusively for sweetener molecules on land owned by Raizen and leased to the joint venture.
Also, in May 2019, we consummated a research, collaboration and license agreement with LAVVAN, Inc., a newly formed investment-backed company (Lavvan), for up to $300 million to develop, manufacture and commercialize cannabinoids. Under the Cannabinoid Agreement, we perform research and development activities and Lavvan is responsible for the commercialization of the cannabinoids developed. The Cannabinoid Agreement is being principally funded on a milestone basis, with Amyris also entitled to receive certain supplementary research and development funding from Lavvan. We could receive aggregate funding of up to $300 million over the term of the Cannabinoid Agreement if all of the milestones are achieved. Additionally, the Cannabinoid Agreement provides for profit share to Amyris on Lavvan's gross profit margin once products are commercialized; these payments will be due for the next 20 years.
On April 24, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted the Company full Over-the-Counter approval for product listing in the U.S. of its alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Sold through its Clean Beauty brand, Biossance, this hand sanitizer addresses critical public and institutional health needs during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is currently pursuing a similar regulatory approval process in the European Union. The Company’s Reb M sweetener achieved national approvals by the Columbian INVIMA Food Safety, Brazilian ANVISA, and Health Canada Authorities on January 29, April 15, and April 17, 2020, respectively; each of these approvals allow for immediate distribution of Amyris’s sweetener product in these markets. On April 28, 2020, Amyris’s Aprinnova joint venture received new chemical approval by the China Ministry of Environment of its hemisqualane ingredient; this approval authorizes unlimited quantity importation to supply the China cosmetic manufacturing industry. Finally, on May 5, 2020, the Company’s infant nutritional ingredient (known as HMO (2'-FL)), received validation by a medical Panel of Experts as Generally Recognized As Safe (“GRAS”), an important step toward FDA GRAS approval of this ingredient.
We have invested over $700 million in infrastructure and technology to create microbes that produce molecules from sugar or other feedstocks at commercial scale. We have focused on accessing Brazilian sugarcane for our large-scale production because of its renewability, low cost and relative price stability. Our time to market for molecules has decreased from seven years to less than a year for our most recent molecule, mainly due to our ability to leverage the technology platform we have built. The key performance characteristics of our platform that we believe differentiate us include our proprietary computational tools, strain construction tools, screening and analytics tools, and advanced lab automation and data integration. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure includes industry-leading strain engineering and lab automation located in Emeryville, California, pilot-
scale production facilities in Emeryville, California and Campinas, Brazil, a demonstration-scale facility in Campinas, Brazil and a commercial-scale production facility in Leland, North Carolina, which is owned and operated by our Aprinnova joint venture to convert our Biofene into squalane and other products.
Sales and Revenue
We recognize revenue from product sales, license fees and royalties, and grants and collaborations.
We have research and development collaboration arrangements for which we receive payments from our collaboration partners, which include DARPA, DSM, Firmenich SA (Firmenich), Givaudan International SA (Givaudan), Lavvan and others. Some of our collaboration arrangements provide for advance payments to us in consideration for grants of exclusivity or research efforts that we will perform. In 2017 we signed collaboration agreements for an infant nutrition ingredient, and in 2018 and 2019 we signed a collaboration agreement for four vitamins that we expect will contribute to our collaboration revenue and ultimately product sales. Also, in 2019 we signed a collaboration agreement for up to $300 million to develop cannabinoids. Our collaboration agreements, which may require us to achieve milestones prior to receiving payments, are expected to contribute revenues from product sales and royalties if and when they are commercialized. See Note 9, “Revenue Recognition” in Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K for additional information.
All of our non-government partnerships include commercial terms for the supply of molecules we successfully upscale and produce at commercial volumes. The first molecule to generate revenue for us outside of farnesene was a fragrance molecule launched in 2015. Since the launch, the product has continued to grow in sales year over year. In 2016, we launched our second fragrance molecule and in 2017, we launched our third fragrance molecule as well as our first cosmetic active ingredient. Our partners for these molecules are indicating continued strong growth due to their cost advantaged position, high purity and sustainable production method. We are continuing to identify new opportunities to apply our technology and deliver sustainable access to key molecules. As a result, we have a pipeline that we believe can deliver two to three new molecules each year over the coming years with a flavor ingredient, a cosmetic active ingredient and a fragrance molecule. In 2019, we commercially produced and shipped our Reb M product that is a sweetener and sugar replacement for food and beverages.
Concurrent with the 2017 sale of Amyris Brasil and the Brotas facility, we entered into a series of commercial agreements with DSM that included (i) a license agreement to DSM of our farnesene product for DSM to use in the Vitamin E and lubricant specialty markets and (ii) a royalty agreement, pursuant to which DSM agreed to pay us specified royalties representing a portion of the profit on the sale of Vitamin E produced from farnesene sold under a supply agreement with Nenter & Co., Inc. (Nenter) which was assigned to DSM. Under the terms of the royalty agreement, DSM was obligated to pay us minimum royalties totaling $18.1 million for 2019 and 2020. In June 2018, we received the 2019 non-refundable minimum royalty payment totaling $9.3 million (net of a $0.7 million early payment discount) and in March 2019, we received the 2020 non-refundable payment totaling $7.4 million (net of a $0.7 million early payment discount). In April 2019, we assigned the right to receive such royalty payments under the Vitamin E royalty agreement to DSM for total consideration of $57 million, of which approximately $40.3 million was recognized as royalty revenue in 2019 and $3.8 million was recognized as royalty revenue in 2020. See Note 9, “Revenue Recognition” and Note 10, "Related Party Transactions" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K for information regarding the accounting treatment of the assignment of Vitamin E royalty agreement and for a full listing of our agreements with DSM.
We have several other collaboration molecules in our development pipeline with partners including DSM, Givaudan, Firmenich and Lavvan that we expect will contribute revenues from product sales and royalties if and when they are commercialized.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). We believe that the critical accounting policies described in this section are those that significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results may vary from these estimates.
Our most critical accounting estimates include:
•Recognition of revenue for arrangements with service delivery over time and multiple performance obligations;
•Valuation and allocation of fair value to various elements of complex related party transactions;
•The valuation of freestanding and embedded derivatives, which impacts gains or losses on such derivatives, the carrying value of debt, interest expense and deemed dividends; and
•The valuation of debt for which we have elected fair value accounting.
For more information about our critical accounting estimates and policies, see Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K.

Total revenue increased by 103% to $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was comprised of a $6.0 million increase in renewable products revenue, a $5.0 million increase in licenses and royalties revenue and a $3.7 million increase in grants and collaborations revenue.
Renewable products revenue increased by 50% to $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by our consumer product lines.
Licenses and royalties revenue increased by $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to Vitamin E royalty revenue from DSM
Grants and collaborations revenue increased by 158% to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to collaboration revenue from DSM and Yifan.

Sales, general and administrative | 32,014 | | 28,253 | |
Total cost and operating expenses | $ | 60,930 | | $ | 63,799 | |
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold includes the raw materials, labor and overhead, amounts paid to contract manufacturers, inventory write-downs, and costs related to production scale-up. Because of our product mix, our overall cost of products sold does not necessarily increase or decrease proportionately with changes in our renewable product revenues.
Cost of products sold decreased by 33% to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to improved manufacturing efficiency compared to the first quarter of 2019 which was significantly impacted by certain non-recurring costs related to the launch of our new sweetener product.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses decreased by 4% to $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due to a decrease in laboratory equipment-related expenses.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 13% to $32.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to increases in marketing expense and employee compensation costs related to our consumer product lines.

Other expense, net | | (411) | | (115) | |
Total other expense, net | | $ | (55,953) | | $ | (16,818) | |
Total other expense, net was $56.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $16.8 million for the same period in 2019. The $39.1 million increase was primarily due to a $27.3 million loss upon extinguishment of debt in 2020 and a $14.4 million increase in loss from change in fair value of debt. The loss upon extinguishment of debt and loss from change in fair value of debt in the first quarter of 2020 and the increase in interest expense from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020 were primarily related to (i) the write-off of unamortized debt discounts upon the modification of a debt instrument accounted for as an extinguishment, (ii) upfront expense recognition of fees paid to lenders and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with debt principal conversions, refinancing and forbearance agreements and (iii) default interest related to events of default under most of our debt instruments.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a $0.1 million provision for income taxes related to accrued interest on uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the provision for income taxes was zero.

Liquidity. We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operations for at least the next 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2020, we had negative working capital of $107.3 million (compared to negative working capital of $87.5 million as of December 31, 2019), and an accumulated deficit of $1.8 billion.
As of March 31, 2020, our outstanding debt principal (including related party debt) totaled $208.5 million, of which $90.9 million is classified as current. Our debt agreements contain various covenants, including certain restrictions on our business that could cause us to be at risk of defaults, such as restrictions on additional indebtedness, material adverse effect and cross default provisions. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of our debt instruments, including any failure to make a payment when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could permit acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness. If such indebtedness is accelerated, it would generally also constitute an event of default under our other outstanding indebtedness, permitting acceleration of a substantial portion of such other outstanding indebtedness. At December 31, 2019, we failed to meet certain covenants under several credit arrangements, including those associated with cross-default provisions, minimum liquidity and minimum asset coverage requirements. Further, at March 31, 2020, we failed to meet certain covenants and provisions under several credit arrangements, including those associated with cross-default provisions (as discussed below). In March 2020 and again in May 2020, these lenders provided permanent waivers to us for breaches of all past covenant violations and cross-default payment failures through May 8, 2020 under the respective credit agreements (discussed below). As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the minimum liquidity and minimum asset coverage requirements under these credit agreements.
Between March 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, we failed to pay (i) Total Raffinage Chimie (Total), Nikko Chemicals Co. Ltd (Nikko) and certain affiliates of the Schottenfeld Group LLC (Schottenfeld) an aggregate of $17.6 million of maturing promissory notes, (ii) failed to pay Ginkgo $7.2 million of past due interest, waiver fees and partnership payments and (iii) failed to make interest payments to all of our lenders totaling $2.8 million. These payment failures resulted in an event of default under the respective agreements and triggered cross-defaults under other debt instruments that permitted each of the affected debt holders (the Cross-Default Lenders) to accelerate the amounts owing under such cross-defaulted instruments. In May 2020, we obtained waivers from Ginkgo and the other lenders to extended the due date for all payments due under the respective agreements to the earlier of the day we receive cash proceeds from any private placement of our equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020; and amended the credit arrangements with Total and Nikko to extend the maturity dates of the original respective promissory notes to the earlier of the day we receive cash proceeds from any private placement of our equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information. Also, we received waivers from each of the affected Cross-Default Lenders to waive the right to accelerate due to the event-specific cross-defaults. As a result, the indebtedness with respect to which we obtained such waivers continues to be classified as long-term on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The indebtedness reflected by the Total and Schottenfeld notes, and certain Ginkgo and Nikko amounts are classified as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance.
Although we obtained waivers or extensions to make these payments at a later date, we currently do not have sufficient funds to repay the principal amounts due under the Total, Nikko, Schottenfeld and Ginkgo credit arrangements and the past due interest payments; and while we intend to seek equity or debt financing, the proceeds of which would be used to repay most or all of these past due amounts, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on our expected timeline,
or on acceptable terms, if at all. Also, while we have been able to obtain waivers for substantially all of these defaults to date and have not had a lender accelerate our debt, we may not be able to cure or obtain a waiver for such a default promptly in the future.
Further, our cash and cash equivalents of $2.6 million as of March 31, 2020 are not sufficient to fund expected future negative cash flows from operations and cash debt service obligations through May 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In addition to repaying the Total, Nikko, Schottenfeld, Ginkgo and other lenders principal and interest amounts previously described, our ability to continue as a going concern will depend, in large part, on our ability to raise additional cash proceeds through financings, eliminate or minimize the anticipated negative cash flows from operations during the 12 months from the date of this filing, and refinance or extend other existing debt maturities occurring later in 2020, all of which are uncertain and outside our control. Further, our operating plan for 2020 contemplates a significant reduction in our net operating cash outflows as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting from (i) revenue growth from sales of existing and new products with positive gross margins, (ii) reduced production costs as a result of manufacturing and technical developments, (iii) reduced spending in general and administrative areas, and (iv) an increase in cash inflows from collaborations and grants. If we are unable to complete these actions, we expect to be unable to meet our operating cash flow needs and our obligations under our existing debt facilities. This could result in an acceleration of our obligation to repay all amounts outstanding under those facilities, and we may be forced to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not occur timely or on reasonable terms, if at all, and/or liquidate assets. In such a scenario, the value received for assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the value reflected in these financial statements. We have in the past, including in July 2019, had certain of our debt instruments accelerated for failure to make a payment when due.
If we do not achieve our planned operating results, our ability to continue as a going concern would be jeopardized and we may need to take the following actions to support our liquidity needs during the next 12 months:
•Shift focus to existing products and customers with significantly reduced investment in new product and commercial development efforts;
•Reduce expenditures for employees and third-party contractors, including consultants, professional advisors and other vendors;
•Reduce or delay uncommitted capital expenditures, including expenditures related to the construction and commissioning of the new production facility in Brazil, non-essential facility and lab equipment, and information technology projects; and
•Closely monitor our working capital position with customers and suppliers, as well as suspend operations at pilot plants and demonstration facilities.
Implementing this plan could have a negative impact on our ability to continue our business as currently contemplated, including, without limitation, delays or failures in our ability to:
•Achieve planned production levels;
•Develop and commercialize products within planned timelines or at planned scales; and
•Continue other core activities.
We expect to fund operations for the foreseeable future with cash and investments currently on hand, cash inflows from collaborations, grants, product sales, licenses and royalties, and equity and debt financings, to the extent necessary. All of our research and development collaboration milestone payments are subject to risks that we may not meet milestones. Future equity and debt financings, if needed, are subject to the risk that we may not be able to secure financing in a timely manner or on reasonable terms, if at all. Our planned working capital and capital expenditure needs for the remainder of 2020 are dependent on significant inflows of cash from renewable product sales, license and royalties and existing and new collaborations, as well as additional debt financing for the construction of our new specialty ingredients fermentation facility in Brazil.
Cash Flows during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are costs related to the production and sale of our products and personnel-related expenditures, offset by cash received from renewable product sales, licenses and royalties, and grants and collaborations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $46.4 million, consisting primarily of a $87.8 million net loss, partially offset by $48.1 million of favorable non-cash adjustments that were primarily comprised of a $27.3 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, a $16.5 million loss from change in fair value of debt, $3.5 million of stock-
based compensation and $0.7 million of amortization of right-of-use assets under operating leases. Additionally, there was a $6.6 million net increase in working capital balances.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $37.0 million, consisting of a $66.2 million net loss, $16.3 million of favorable non-cash adjustments and a $13.0 million net decrease in working capital. The non-cash adjustments were primarily comprised of $4.6 million of debt discount accretion, $3.5 million of stock-based compensation, and $2.8 million of amortization of right-of-use assets under operating leases.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, comprised of property, plant and equipment purchases.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $49.7 million, primarily comprised of $57.3 million of net proceeds from common stock issuances and deemed issuance, partly by $7.0 million of debt principal payments.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million, primarily comprised of $0.6 million of debt principal payments, offset by $0.5 million of proceeds from debt issuance.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2020, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

(1)Fixed and variable interest rates are described in Note 4, "Debt" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2019 Form 10-K. Future interest payments shown above for variable-rate debt instruments are measured on the basis of interest rates for such instruments as of March 31, 2020. The fixed interest rates are more fully described in Note 4, "Debt" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2019 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2020. This conclusion was based on the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our 2019 Form 10-K. The material weaknesses have not been remediated as of March 31, 2020.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If not remediated, the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in the 2019 Form 10-K could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 3, 2019, a securities class action complaint was filed against Amyris and our CEO, John G. Melo, and former CFO (and current Chief Business Officer), Kathleen Valiasek, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that would comprise all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between March 15, 2018 and March 19, 2019. The complaint, which was amended by the lead plaintiff on September 13, 2019, alleges securities law violations based on statements and omissions made by the Company during such period. On October 25, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the securities class action complaint. The hearing on such motion to dismiss was held on February 18, 2020 and we are awaiting a ruling from the Court. Subsequent to the filing of the securities class action complaint described above, on June 21, 2019 and October 1, 2019, respectively, two separate purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Bonner v. Doerr, et al., and Carlson v. Doerr, et al.) based on similar allegations to those made in the securities class action complaint described above and named the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as defendants. The derivative lawsuits sought to recover, on the Company’s behalf, unspecified damages purportedly sustained by the Company in connection with allegedly misleading statements and omissions made in connection with the Company’s securities filings. The derivative lawsuits were dismissed on October 18, 2019 (Bonner) and December 10, 2019 (Carlson), without prejudice. We believe the securities class action complaint lacks merit, and intend to continue to defend ourselves vigorously. Given the early stage of these proceedings, it is not yet possible to reliably determine any potential liability that could result from these matters.
We may be involved, from time to time, in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance that legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk described below, the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face; our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The “Risk Factors” section of the 2019 Form 10-K remains current in all material respects.
Our operations and financial results could be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental measures taken in relation thereto, in the United States and the rest of the world.
Effective March 17, 2020, and revised April 29, 2020, the health department of Alameda County, California issued a shelter-in-place order covering our corporate headquarters, primary research and development laboratories and employees. The order is in effect through May 31, 2020, and may be extended for additional periods of time and/or its scope on business activities revised. In order to maintain our facilities, support on-going critical production campaigns, and provide information to facilitate our employees working from home, we are currently operating under minimum business operations guidelines. Accordingly, we have instituted policies for those of our employees working on-site such as limiting the number of staff in our laboratories, temperature and symptom confirmations, mandatory wearing of masks, and social distancing. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, we may experience disruptions that could severely impact our business operations, research and development processes, manufacturing, commercialization and other activities, including:
•delays or disruptions in our supply chain due to staffing shortages, production slowdowns or stoppages and disruptions in delivery systems;
•delays or disruptions in the manufacture and/or shipment of our products, including facilities we rely upon in Brazil;
•delays or disruptions with respect to our activities in China;
•a decline in demand for our consumer goods products (including our Clean Beauty products) due to any measures put in place in response to the pandemic or any related economic downturn;
•store closings of our retail partners as mandated or recommended by federal, state or city governments;
•interruption of key research and development activities due to restricted or limited operations at our facilities and/or limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others;
•delays in receiving the supplies and materials needed to conduct our research and development and interruption in global shipping that may affect the transport of materials;
•interruption or delays to our development pipeline; limitations on employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of our business, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the responsibility of employees to manage family obligations while working from home;
•interruptions or delays in the operations of regulatory authorities, which may impact review or approval timelines;
•delays in necessary interactions with other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees;
•termination, or difficulties in procuring or maintaining, of arrangements with third parties upon whom we depend such as manufacturers, including contract manufacturing organizations, suppliers and other strategic partners;
•delays in, or limited access to, the capital markets or other sources of funding; and
•disruptions or restrictions on our ability to travel, pursue partnerships and other business transactions.
The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to impact the trading price of shares of our common stock and could further impact our ability to raise additional capital on a timely basis or at all.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition or results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. New information may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions to contain the pandemic or treat COVID-19, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, continued travel restrictions and social distancing, business closures or disruptions as well as the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, in the United States and other countries. The COVID-19 pandemic could also result in social, political, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we, or third parties with whom we engage, operate.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of impacting other risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Form 10-K.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
See Note 4, “Debt” and Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
No underwriters or agents were involved in the issuance or sale of such securities. The securities were issued in private placements pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or in private exchanges pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The investors participating in the offerings or exchanges acquired the applicable securities for investment purposes only and without intent to resell, were able to fend for themselves in these transactions, and are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act. These purchasers had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we failed to make required interest and/or principal payments under the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Note, the DSM $25 Million Note, the Foris LSA, the Naxyris LSA, the November 2017 Ginkgo Note, and the Schottenfeld Notes (in the 2019 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, see Note 4, “Debt” and Note 15, “Subsequent Events”, and in this Quarterly Report on form 10-Q, Part I, Item 1, see Note 4, “Debt” and Note 12, “Subsequent Events”). The total amounts of such defaults were, (a) in respect of interest and principal under the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Note, $10.4 million due January 31, (b) in respect of interest under the DSM $25 Million Note, $0.6 million due March 31, (c) in respect of interest, principal and agency fee under the Foris LSA, aggregate $4.6 million due on January 31, (d) in respect of interest under the Naxyris LSA, $0.4 million due March 2, (e) in respect of interest under the November 2017 Ginkgo Note, aggregate $1.8 million due February 3 and March 2, and (f) in respect of interest and principal under the Schottenfeld November Notes, aggregate $8.4 million due January 15, and in respect of interest under the Schottenfeld September Notes, $0.4 million due March 31. These payment failures resulted in an event of default under the respective agreements and also triggered cross-defaults under those and other debt instruments that permitted each of the affected debt holders to accelerate the amounts owing under such cross-defaulted instruments. In May 2020, the Company obtained waivers from DSM, Foris, Naxyris and Ginkgo, which extended the due date for all payments due to these lenders to the earlier of the day the Company receives cash proceeds from any private placement of its equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020; and extended the maturity dates of the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Note to the earlier of the day the Company receives cash proceeds from any private placement of its equity and/or equity-linked securities, and May 31, 2020. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for further information. Also,
the Company received waivers from each of the affected cross-default debt holders to waive the right to accelerate due to the event-specific cross-defaults.
