NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATION

On November 10, 2019, Menlo entered into the Merger Agreement with Foamix, and Merger Sub, a direct and wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary of Menlo. On March 9, 2020, the Merger was completed and Foamix is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo.

On the Effective Date, each ordinary share of Foamix was exchanged for 0.5924 shares of common stock of Menlo (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, on the Effective Date, Foamix shareholders received one contingent stock right (a “CSR”) for each Foamix ordinary share held by them. The CSRs were issued pursuant to the Contingent Stock Rights Agreement (the “CSR Agreement”), dated as of March 9, 2020, by and between Menlo and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and represented the non-transferable contractual right to receive shares of common stock of Menlo depending on the results of Menlo’s phase III clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of once daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of prurigo nodularis (the “Phase III PN Trials”).

For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” under U.S. GAAP and Foamix is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Foamix became the Company’s historical financial statements, and the historical financial statements of Foamix are included in the comparative prior periods.

Under reverse acquisition accounting, the U.S. dollar amount for common stock in the financial statements is based on the value and number of shares issued by Menlo (reflecting the legal structure of Menlo as the legal acquirer) on the merger date plus subsequent shares issued by the Company. The amounts in additional paid-in capital represent that of Foamix and include the fair value of shares deemed for accounting purposes to have been issued by Foamix on the merger date and the fair value of the Menlo equity awards included in the purchase price calculation. The Foamix additional paid-in capital was also adjusted for the difference between the number of common stock and the historical number of shares of Foamix’s ordinary shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $11.7 million, which are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This amount includes $8.1 million of estimated severance benefits for employees expected to be terminated after the Effective Date. The total transaction costs and other non-recurring costs related to the Merger are estimated to be $21.8 million.

Purchase Price

The following is the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to be transferred to effect the Merger:


	Total
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of Foamix shares to Menlo stockholders	$	123,757
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) conversion of Menlo equity awards		7,322
Total consideration*	$	131,079

*This amount reflects total consideration prior to reduction in respect of the CSRs that were issued to Foamix shareholders and that reduced the Menlo stockholders’ relative ownership in the combined company. If the effect of the CSRs is included, the total consideration deemed paid by Foamix, as the accounting acquirer, to Menlo stockholders and equity award holders in the Merger would be reduced to approximately $111.4 million, as shown in the purchase price allocation table below.

Based on Foamix’s closing share price of $2.99 as of March 9, 2020, the Merger Consideration under reverse acquisition accounting was approximately $131.1 million, consisting of $123.8 million for the deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of 41.4 million Foamix shares assuming that no upwards adjustment was made to the Exchange Ratio relating to the CSR, and $7.3 million for the fair value of Menlo equity awards deemed (for accounting purposes only) to be converted into Foamix equity awards. The converted stock options represent the fair value of such options attributable to service prior to the Merger date using the Foamix closing share price of $2.99 as of March 9, 2020 as an input to the Black Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the options.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company completed its analysis of the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:


	March 9, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	38,641
Investment in marketable securities		22,703
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		1,581
In-process research and development		50,300
Goodwill		4,045
Total assets		117,270
Current liabilities		(5,827)
Total liabilities		(5,827)
Estimated purchase price*	$	111,443

* Reflects reduction in the purchase price deemed paid to Menlo stockholders in the Merger on the assumption that the CSRs, in an aggregate value of $19.6 million, convert into additional shares of the combined company for the Foamix shareholders, thereby resulting in a lower percentage of the combined company’s outstanding shares being owned by Menlo stockholders following the Merger, see “Note 12 – Subsequent Events” for more information.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded with the acquisition of a business and is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. None of the Goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase price of the transaction and the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, are calculated as follows:


	March 9, 2020
Purchase price	$	111,443
Less: fair value of net assets acquired, including other identifiable intangibles		(107,398)
Goodwill	$	4,045

See “Note 12 – Subsequent Events” for more information.

In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D")

The IPR&D recognized relates to Menlo’s once-daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with PN that has not reached technological feasibility as follows:



Intangible asset	Estimated Fair Value
Acquired indefinite life intangible assets*	$	50,300
Fair value of identified intangible assets	$	50,300

* Represents acquired IPR&D assets which are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the research and development period, these assets will not be amortized into earnings; instead these assets will be subject to periodic impairment testing. See “Note 12 – Subsequent Events” for more information.

The fair value of IPR&D has been estimated utilizing a multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach, which reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated, less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows that use projected cash flows with and without the intangible asset in place.

CSR

The CSR was issued pursuant to the CSR Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2020, by and between Menlo and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and represented the non-transferable contractual right to receive shares of common stock of Menlo depending on the results of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials. The Company recognized a liability of $19.6 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. The liability is measured at fair value and categorized as level 3 as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-31-25-5 and subsequently at each reporting date thereafter. The fair value of the CSR was estimated as the incremental value that Foamix would be able to achieve on a probability weighted basis assuming three different potential probabilities of the following scenarios (a) Serlopitant Significance was achieved in both Phase III PN Trials (b) Serlopitant Significance was achieved in only one Phase III PN Trial and (c) Serlopitant Significance was not achieved or has not been determined on or before May 31, 2020.

The contingent consideration associated with the CSR was recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-30-25-5. An acquirer's obligation to pay contingent consideration should be classified as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and other applicable U.S. GAAP. The contingent consideration associated with the CSR was initially measured at fair value and will subsequently be measured at fair value at each reporting date. The CSR was classified as a liability, as it is settled by issuing variable number of the Company's common stock.

In the period between the Effective Date and March 31, 2020, there has been to change to fair value of the CSR.

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. See “Note 12 – Subsequent Events” for more information.
