California Institute for Regenerative Medicine Award

On February 22, 2018, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) announced an award to the Company for $4.0 million to advance the Company’s FT516 product candidate into a first-in-human clinical trial (the Award). The Award agreement was fully executed in April 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Award, the Company will receive five disbursements in varying amounts totaling $4.0 million, with one disbursement receivable upon the execution of the Award, and four disbursements receivable upon the completion of certain milestones throughout the project period of the Award, which is estimated to be from April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 (the Project Period). In April 2018, the Company received the first disbursement under the Award totaling $1.0 million. The Award is subject to certain co-funding requirements by the Company, and the Company is required to provide CIRM progress and financial update reports throughout the Project Period.

 

Following the conclusion of the Project Period, the Company, in its sole discretion, has the option to treat the Award either as a loan or as a grant. In the event the Company elects to treat the Award as a loan, the Company will be obligated to repay i) 60%, ii) 80%, iii) 100% or iv) 100% plus interest at 7% plus LIBOR, of the total Award to CIRM, where such repayment rate is dependent upon the phase of clinical development of FT516 at the time of the Company’s election. If the Company does not elect to treat the Award as a loan within 10 years of the date of the Award, the Award will be considered a grant and the Company will be obligated to pay to CIRM a royalty on commercial sales of FT516 until such royalty payments equal nine times the total amount awarded to the Company under the Award.

 

Since the Company may, at its election, repay some or all of the Award, the Company accounts for the Award as a liability until the time of election. In April 2018, the Company received the first disbursement under the Award in the amount of $1.0 million, which amount is recorded as a CIRM Liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and classified as current or non-current based on the potential amount payable within twelve months of the current balance sheet.
