Nature of Business | 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS Organization Histogenics Corporation (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation and has its principal operations in Waltham, Massachusetts. The Company is a regenerative medicine company engaged in developing and commercializing products in the musculoskeletal segment of the marketplace. The Company is developing technology and products to treat cartilage damage, including NeoCart for the repair of cartilage lesions. NeoCart is currently in a Phase 3 clinical trial in the United States under a special protocol assessment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of knee cartilage damage. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to product development, recruiting management and technical staff, raising capital, starting up production and building infrastructure and has not generated revenues from its planned principal operations. Expenses have primarily been for research and development and administrative costs. The Company is subject to a number of risks. Principal among these risks are: the successful development of its products, successfully enrolling patients in its clinical trials in a timely manner, protection of its intellectual property, obtaining FDA approval for its products and maintaining ongoing compliance with government regulations, the ability to obtain adequate financing, fluctuations in operating results, dependence on key personnel and collaborative partners, adoption of the Company’s products by the physician community, rapid technological changes inherent in the markets targeted, and substitute products and competition from larger companies. Initial public offering On December 8, 2014, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) whereby the Company sold 5,909,091 shares of common stock at a price of $11.00 per share for gross proceeds of $65,000. The shares began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market on December 3, 2014. On January 6, 2015, an additional 465,000 shares of common stock were sold at the IPO price of $11.00 per share following the underwriters’ exercise in part of their overallotment option for gross proceeds of $5,115. Gross proceeds from the offering, inclusive of the overallotment, were $70,115. After giving effect to underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, net proceeds were $61,277. In addition, each of the following occurred in connection with the completion of the IPO on December 8, 2014:
