NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Science 37 Holdings, Inc. (formerly LifeSci Acquisition II Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 18, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business transaction with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”).

The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 20, 2020. On November 24, 2020 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 8,009,041 shares of common stock (the “Public Shares”), which includes the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option in the amount of 509,041 Public Shares, at $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $80,090,410 which is described in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 3,146,454 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $0.90 per Private Warrant in a private placement to LifeSci Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”), an entity affiliated LifeSci Capital LLC, generating gross proceeds of $2,831,809, which is described in Note 5.

Transaction costs amounted to $1,858,498, consisting of $1,601,808 in cash underwriting fees and $256,690 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 24, 2020, an amount of $80,090,410 ($10.00 per Public Share) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 183 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account.

On May 6, 2021, LSAQ entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among LSAQ, LifeSci Acquisition II Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of LSAQ (“Merger Sub”), and Science 37, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Science 37”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Science 37, with Legacy Science 37 surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of LSAQ (the “Business Combination” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

On October 4, 2021, LSAQ held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the LSAQ stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination, including (a) adopting the Merger Agreement and (b) approving the other transactions and matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement and related agreements as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the Special Meeting, on October 6, 2021, the Transactions were consummated. In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from LifeSci Acquisition II Corp. to Science 37 Holdings, Inc. Holders of 2,299,493 shares of LSAQ’s common stock sold in its initial public offering properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from LSAQ’s initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which was approximately $10.00 per share, or $23,003,944 in the aggregate. An aggregate of $23,003,944 was paid from the Company’s trust account to holders that properly exercised their right to have public shares redeemed, and the remaining balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $57.1 million remained in the trust account. The remaining amount in the trust account was used to fund the Business Combination.

Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Legacy Science 37’s Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series D-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the “Science 37 Preferred Stock”), was converted into shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Science 37 (the “Science 37 common stock”) at the then-applicable conversion rate (the “Science 37 Preferred Stock Conversion”).

Common Stock. At the Effective Time, following the Science 37 Preferred Stock Conversion, each share of Science 37 Common Stock (including shares of Science 37 Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Science 37 Preferred Stock Conversion, but excluding shares the holders of which perfect rights of appraisal under Delaware law) converted into the right to receive such number of shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (subject to rounding mechanisms as described in the Merger Agreement) and a number of Earn-Out Shares (as defined below). The Exchange Ratio is defined in the Merger Agreement to be the quotient of (i) 100,000,000 divided by (ii) the number of shares of Science 37’s Fully Diluted Capital Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The Exchange Ratio was equal to approximately 1.815.

Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Science 37 Common Stock granted under the Science 37, Inc. 2015 Stock Plan (each, a “Science 37 Option”), whether or not then vested and exercisable, was converted automatically (and without any required action on the part of such holder of outstanding Science 37 Option) into an option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares subject to such Science 37 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share), with a per share exercise price equal to the exercise price per share of Science 37 Common Stock of such Science 37 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

Earn-Out Shares. Following the Closing, former holders of shares of Science 37 Common Stock (including shares received as a result of the Science 37 Preferred Stock Conversion) and former holders of Science 37 Options are entitled to receive their respective pro rata shares of up to 12,500,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) if, within the three-year period beginning on the Closing Date, the closing share price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds either of two share price thresholds as set forth in the Merger Agreement over a period of at least 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period (each, a “Triggering Event”) and, in respect of a former holder of Science 37 Options, the holder continues to provide services to the Company or one of its subsidiaries at the time of such Triggering Event. If there is a change of control of the Company or its successor within such three-year period following the Closing that will result in the holders of Common Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of any Triggering Event threshold(s), then immediately prior to such change of control, any Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and the Company shall issue the Earn-Out Shares to the former holders of shares of Science 37 Common Stock and former holders of Science 37 Options in accordance with their respective pro rata shares.

Pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), certain investors agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 20,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). At the Closing, the Company consummated the PIPE Investment.

After giving effect to the Transactions, the redemption of public shares as described above, and the consummation of the PIPE Investment on October 6th, 2021, there were 114,707,150 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $200,897 not held in the Trust Account and available for working capital purposes. The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business through the consummation of the business combination. Additionally, the Company notes that the consummation of the business combination on October 6th, 2021, as mentioned above, brought in additional funds in the amount of $200,000,000 through the consummated PIPE Investment. As such, the Company notes that sufficient cash and capital is available to cover any expected costs or expenses incurred by the Company through the business combination date and through twelve months of the issuance of this report.
