Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Nature of the Business

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that is eligible to receive up to $450.0 million in contingent milestone payments related to its sale of ONIVYDE^® and MM-436 to Ipsen S.A. (“Ipsen”) in April 2017 (the “Ipsen sale”) and up to $54.5 million in contingent milestone payments related to its sale of MM-121 and MM-111 to Elevation Oncology, Inc. (formerly known as 14ner Oncology, Inc.), or Elevation, in July 2019. The Company does not have any ongoing research or development activities and is seeking potential acquirers for its remaining preclinical and clinical assets. The Company does not have any employees as of September 30, 2020 and instead uses external consultants for the operation of the Company.

The $450.0 million in contingent milestone payments resulting from the Ipsen sale consist of:

•

$225.0 million upon approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of ONIVYDE for the first-line treatment of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, subject to certain conditions;

•

$150.0 million upon approval by the FDA of ONIVYDE for the treatment of small-cell lung cancer after failure of first-line chemotherapy; and

•

$75.0 million upon approval by the FDA of ONIVYDE for an additional indication unrelated to those described above.

On April 15, 2019, the Company repaid in full all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs and expenses under its Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) in an aggregate amount equal to $16.0 million.

In May 2019, the Company monetized certain assets to strengthen its cash position. This includes the sale of its entire equity position in Silver Creek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Silver Creek”), resulting in $7.8 million in cash, and the sale of laboratory equipment from its research and development operations, resulting in approximately $1.4 million in cash.

On May 30, 2019, the Company announced the completion of its review of strategic alternatives, following which the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) implemented a series of measures designed to extend the Company’s cash runway and preserve its ability to capture the potential milestone payments resulting from the Ipsen sale. In connection with that announcement, the Company discontinued the discovery efforts on its remaining preclinical programs: MM-401, an agonistic antibody targeting a novel immuno-oncology target, TNFR2; and MM-201, a highly stabilized agonist-Fc fusion protein targeting death receptors 4 and 5. The Company is seeking potential acquirers for its remaining preclinical and clinical assets.

The Company’s termination of its executive management team and all other employees was substantially completed by June 28, 2019 and fully completed by July 12, 2019. As of July 12, 2019, the Company does not have any employees. The Company has engaged external consultants to run the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Company has also entered into consulting agreements with certain former members of its executive management team who are supporting the Company’s relationship with current partners, assisting with the potential sale of remaining preclinical and clinical assets, and assisting with certain legal and regulatory matters and the continued wind-down of operations.

On July 12, 2019, the Company completed the sale to Elevation Oncology, Inc. (formerly known as 14ner Oncology, Inc.) (“Elevation”) of its anti-HER3 antibody programs, MM-121 (Seribantumab) and MM-111 (the “Elevation sale”). In connection with the Elevation sale, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $3.5 million. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $54.5 million in additional potential development, regulatory approval and commercial-based milestone payments, consisting of:

•

$3.0 million for achievement of the primary endpoint in the first registrational clinical study of either MM-121 or MM-111;

•

Up to $16.5 million in total payments for the achievement of various regulatory approval and reimbursement-based milestones in the United States, Europe and Japan; and

•

Up to $35.0 million in total payments for achieving various cumulative worldwide net sales targets between $100.0 million and $300.0 million for MM-121 and MM-111.

On July 25, 2019, the Board authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $20.0 million to holders of the Company's common stock, which was payable on September 5, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 28, 2019.

On November 29, 2019, the Company received the remaining $5.0 million milestone payment that became payable for the ex-U.S. development and commercialization of ONIVYDE pursuant to a license and collaboration agreement (the “Servier Agreement”) between Ipsen and Les Laboratoires Servier SAS (as assignee from Shire plc). The Company entered into the Servier Agreement in 2014, and on April 3, 2017, the Servier Agreement was assigned to Ipsen in connection with the completion of the Ipsen sale.

On December 3, 2019, the Board authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $6.7 million to holders of the Company's common stock, which was payable on December 23, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Celator Agreement”) with Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Celator”), pursuant to which Celator agreed to purchase certain assets relating to certain of the Company’s preclinical nanoliposome programs (the “Celator sale”). The Company and Celator completed the Celator sale simultaneously with the execution of the Celator Agreement. Under the terms of the Celator Agreement, Celator paid to the Company a cash payment of $2.3 million and reimbursed the Company for $0.2 million related to certain specified expenses. The Company incurred $0.4 million expenses related to the Celator sale as of September 30, 2020.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, among other things, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology and compliance with government regulations, approval by the FDA and other foreign health agencies to approve any pharmaceutical under development, obtaining insurance reimbursement for any drug if and when approved by regulators, and its ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. None of the Company’s product candidates are approved for any indication by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, among others. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its external consultants for the operation of the Company. The Company’s business strategy depends substantially upon its ability to receive future milestone payments from Ipsen and Elevation. Any failure to achieve such milestones or a perception that the milestones may not be achieved will materially and adversely affect the Company and the value of its common stock.

The recent COVID-19 outbreak has created significant volatility and economic disruption and the impact on the Company’s future consolidated results of operations is uncertain. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Update” and “Risk Factors” for further information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and financial condition.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $542.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.9 million and used $2.8 million of cash in operating activities. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents of $15.8 million at September 30, 2020 will allow the Company to continue its operations into 2027, when the Company estimates the longest-term potential Ipsen milestone may be achieved. The continued viability of the Company beyond that point is dependent on its ability to realize milestone payments from its licensed product candidates, raise additional capital to finance its operations or to reduce operating expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in receiving future milestone payments or able to obtain sufficient capital to cover its costs on acceptable terms, if at all.

The Company expects that it would seek to finance any future cash needs through a combination of divestitures of its product candidates or other assets, equity offerings and debt financings. There can be no assurance as to the timing, terms or consummation of any divestiture or financing, and the terms of any such financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders or require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its revenue streams or product candidates.

The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Use of Estimates

Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to the valuation of stock-based awards. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors and permits the Company to grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards.

The Company’s board of directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $20.0 million to holders of the Company's common stock, which was payable on September 5, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 28, 2019. The board of directors determined, in accordance with the adjustment provision of the 2011 Plan, that the special cash dividend was unusual and non-recurring and that appropriate adjustment to the stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding under the 2011 Plan was required. The Company treated this adjustment as a modification to the original stock option grant because the terms of the agreements were modified in order to preserve the value of the option awards after a large non-recurring cash dividend. These options were amended to decrease the exercise price and increase the shares subject to the stock option. However, as the fair value of the underlying stock decreased more than the exercise price upon modification, and the result was a decrease in the fair value of such options. Accordingly, no incremental value was provided and no additional compensation cost was recorded by the Company.

There were 22,000 options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.90. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $3.53. At September 30, 2020, there were 1.5 million shares remaining available for grant under the 2011 Plan.

The fair value of stock options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020			2019
Risk-free interest rate	0.2%			1.8%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected term	5.3 years			5.4 years
Expected volatility	67%			67%

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 as follows:

6. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive shares outstanding is calculated by adding to the weighted shares outstanding any potential (unissued) shares of common stock from outstanding stock options based on the treasury stock method. Outstanding stock options were not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation because the options were out of the money or to do so would have been antidilutive (i.e., the total proceeds upon exercise would have exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares). In a period when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods where a loss is reported, there is no difference in basic and dilutive loss per share.

Stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 causes such securities to be anti-dilutive. Outstanding options excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are shown in the chart below:

7. Restructuring Activities

On November 7, 2018, the Company announced that it was implementing a reduction in headcount as part of a corporate restructuring. The accrued balance as of December 31, 2019 approximated to $0.1 million.

No additional restructuring expenses were recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reversed restructuring expenses of $0.1 million, consisting of one-time employee termination benefits of $0.1 million recorded in general and administrative expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized additional restructuring expenses of $4.8 million, consisting of one-time employee termination benefits of $2.0 million recorded in research and development expense and $2.8 million recorded in general and administrative expense. These one-time employee termination benefits are comprised of severance, benefits and related costs, all of which are expected to result in cash expenditures.

The Company paid and adjusted approximately less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million of these restructuring expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The remaining payments of less than $0.1 million will be paid during the three months ended December 31, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid approximately $0.8 million and $5.6 million of these restructuring expenses, respectively.
