(Unaudited)
(1)

(“Delcath” or the “Company”) as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 should2021should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31,30, 2022 and may also be found on the Company’s website (www.delcath.com). In these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements the terms “us”, “we” or “our” refer to Delcath and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Description of Business
The Company is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The Company’s lead product candidate, the HEPZATO
®
KIT (melphalan hydrochloride for injection/hepatic delivery system)Hepatic Delivery System), or HEPZATO,
, is a drug/device combination product designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects. HEPZATO has not been approved for sale in the United States. In Europe, the hepatic delivery systemHepatic Delivery System is a stand-alone medical device having the same device components as HEPZATO, but without the melphalan hydrochloride, and is approved for sale under the trade name CHEMOSAT
®
Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan, or CHEMOSAT, where it has been used at major medical centers to treat a wide range of cancers of the liver.
The Company’s clinical development program for HEPZATO is comprised of the FOCUS Clinical Trial for Patients with Hepatic Dominant Ocular Melanoma (the “FOCUS Trial”), a global registration clinical trial that is investigating objective response rate in metastatic ocular melanoma, or mOM. The Company is currently reviewing the incidence, unmet need, available efficacy data and development requirements for a broad set of liver cancers in order to select a portfolio of
follow-on
indications which will maximize the value of the HEPZATO platform.
In the United States, HEPZATO is considered a combination drug and device product regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Primary jurisdiction for regulation of HEPZATO has been assigned to the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The FDA has granted the Company six orphan drug designations (five for melphalan in ocular melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and neuroendocrine tumor indications and one for doxorubicin in the hepatocellular carcinoma indication).
In December 2021, the Company announced that the FOCUS Trial of HEPZATO met its pre-specific
pre-specified
endpoint. Based on the FOCUS Trial results, the Company is preparing to submit a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA for HEPZATO. The Company held a
pre-NDA
meeting with the FDA in April 2022 and is awaiting the official minutes from the meeting.2022. Based on the feedback from the FDA, the Company does not believe any additional
pre-clinical
or clinical studies are required to
re-file
the NDA. Due to vendor delays in delivering certain reports, the Company plans to submit an NDA to the FDA by the end of the third quarteryear. The Company has opened two Expanded Access Program sites to provide access to patients who meet the inclusion criteria during the pendency of 2022.FDA’s review of HEPZATO.
On February 28, 2022, CHEMOSAT received Medical Device Regulation certification under the European Medical Devices Regulation [2017/745/EU], which may be considered by jurisdictions when evaluating reimbursement. As of March 1, 2022, the Company has assumed direct responsibility for sales, marketing and distribution of CHEMOSAT in Europe.
Risks and Uncertainties
Although the Company is not aware of any direct impacts of the war between the Ukraine and the Russian Federation on its supply chain, the war could adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain components and/or significantly increase the cost of obtaining such components for the Company’s products from its third-party suppliers in a timely manner or at all. In addition, at this time, although the Company is not aware of any direct impacts, the increase in COVID cases and associated restrictions, which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain components and/or significantly increase the cost of obtaining such components for the Company’s products from its third-party suppliers in a timely manner or at all. The rise in COVID cases and the associated absences from work of internal and external resources may also impact the Company’s ability to meet anticipated timelines.

Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of $429.2$447.3 million as of March 31,September 30, 2022. These losses, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
7On July 20, 2022, the Company closed a private placement for the issuance and sale of 690,954 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and 566,751
pre-funded
warrants to purchase common stock (the
“Pre-Funded
Warrants”) to certain investors. Each share of common stock was sold at a price per share of $3.98 and the
Pre-Funded
Warrants were sold at a price of $3.97 per
Pre-Funded
Warrant. The
Pre-Funded
Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock and are immediately exercisable. The Company received gross proceeds from the private placement of approximately $5.0 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.

TableOn October 26, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the Market Value of ContentsListed Securities, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVLS”) had been below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2023, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) if at any time before April 24, 2023, the Company maintains its MVLS at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. If compliance is not achieved by April 24, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement. To qualify for the additional
180-day
period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirements for minimum closing bid price of its common stock and all other initial listing standards (with the exception of the minimum MVLS requirement). If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second
180-day
period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company will continue to monitor its MVLS and consider its available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum MVLS requirements, which may include applying for an extension of the compliance period or appealing to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to obtain additional funding sources or to enter into strategic alliances. Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and/or enter into strategic alliances when needed or on attractive terms, it would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its research and development programs or any commercialization efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will result in the resolution of the Company’s liquidity needs. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of its common stock will lose all of their investment. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Additional working capital will be required to continue operations. Operations of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, uncertainty of product development and clinical trial results; uncertainty regarding regulatory approval; technological uncertainty; uncertainty regarding patents and proprietary rights; comprehensive government regulations; limited commercial manufacturing, marketing, or sales experience; and dependence on key personnel.
Basis of Presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and with the SEC’s instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
They include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021; however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
have been condensed or omitted as permitted by GAAP. It is important to note that the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be expected for a full fiscal year or any interim period.

Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as set forth in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2020-06, “Accounting
for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU
2020-06
simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU
2020-06
requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 260, Earnings per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU
2020-06
on January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not have any immediate effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Going forward, the Company will no longer be required to assess convertible instruments for beneficial conversion features.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-10
“Codification Improvements”, which improves consistency by amending the Codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. The guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
8

On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU
2021-04,
“Earnings Per Share” (Topic 260), “Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments” (Subtopic
470-50),
“Compensation—Stock Compensation” (Topic 718), and “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (Subtopic
815-40):
“Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.” This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Leases
The Company recognizes
right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities when it obtains the right to control an asset under a leasing arrangement with an initial term greater than twelve months. The Company leases its facilities under
non-cancellable
operating and financing leases.
The Company evaluates the nature of each lease at the inception of an arrangement to determine whether it is an operating or financing lease and recognizes the ROU asset and lease liabilities based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company’s leases do not generally contain an implicit interest rate and therefore the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate it would expect to pay to borrow on a similar collateralized basis over a similar term in order to determine the present value of its lease payments.

Term Loan from Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P.
On August 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Avenue Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the “Lender,” or “Avenue”) for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20
million
(the (the “Avenue Loan”). The Avenue Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) the sum of 7.70% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (b) 10.95%. The interest rate at March 31,September 30, 2022 was 10.95%.13.2% and increased to 13.95% starting October 2022. The Avenue Loan is secured by all of the Company’s assets globally, including intellectual property. The Avenue Loan matures on August 1, 2024.
The initial tranche of the Avenue Loan is $15.0 
million,
including $4.0
million
which has been funded into a restricted account and will be released upon achievement of (a)(x) positive FOCUS trial efficacy per the trial’s predefined Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) (specifically the Overall Response Rate exceeds the
pre-specified
threshold for success defined in the SAP by a statistically significant amount); and (y) based on data contained within the FOCUS trial database and appropriate for use with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, safety and tolerability among FOCUS trial participants is within the range of currently approved and commonly used cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents; and (b) raising subsequent net equity proceeds of at least $20
 million
. The million. Pursuant to the Avenue Loan Agreement, the Company may request an additional $5.0
$5 million
of gross proceeds between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, with funding, subject to the approval of Avenue’s Investment Committee. Since the Company did not achieve a net equity raise of $20 million of gross proceeds, the Company will not request an additional $5.0 million of funding during the period from October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
Up to $3
 million
of the principal amount of the Avenue Loan outstanding may be converted, at the option of Avenue, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $11.98 per share.
In connection with the Avenue Loan, the Company issued to Avenue a warrant (the “Avenue Warrant”) to purchase 127,755 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $0.01. The Avenue Warrant is exercisable until August 31, 2026.
The Company will make monthly interest-only payments during the first fifteen months of the term of the Avenue Loan, which could be increased to up to twenty-four months upon the achievement of specified performance milestones. Following the interest-only period, the Company will make equal monthly payments of principal plus interest until the maturity date, when all remaining principal outstanding and accrued interest must be paid. If the Company prepays the Avenue Loan, it will be required to pay (a) a prepayment fee of 3% if the Avenue Loan is prepaid during the interest-only period; and (b) a prepayment fee of 1% if the Avenue Loan is prepaid after the interest-only period. The Company must make an incremental final payment equal to 4.25% of the aggregate funding.
The Company paid an aggregate commitment fee of $150,000 at closing. Upon funding a second tranche of the Avenue Loan, the Lender will earn a 1.0% fee on the $5.0 million of incremental committed capital, for a total commitment fee of $0.2 million.
The Avenue Loan Agreement requires the Company to make and maintain representations and warranties and other agreements that are customary in loan agreements of this type. The Avenue Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including
non-payment
of principal or interest, violations of covenants, bankruptcy and material judgments.
The Company determined that the embedded conversion option associated with the Avenue Loan was not required to be bifurcated. The Company determined that the Avenue Warrant met the criteria to be equity-classified. The $0.6 million value of the final payment was treated as original issue discount. The $1.2 million relative fair value of the Avenue Warrant was credited to Additional Paid in Capital while it was debited as debt discount. Of the $563,000 of cash issuance costs, $519,000 was allocated to the Avenue Loan and was recorded as debit discount, while $44,000 was allocated to the Avenue Warrant and was debited to Additional Paid in Capital. Of the $2.3 million of aggregate debt discount, $1.9 million was allocated to the
non-convertible
portion of the Avenue Loan, while $418,000 was allocated to the convertible portion of the Avenue Loan. Aggregate debt discount amortization of $0.2$0.6 million was recorded during the threenine months ended March 31, 2022, including $159,000 related to the
non-convertible
portion of the Avenue Loan and $35,000 related to the convertible portion of the Avenue Loan.September 30, 2022. The Company also determined that the convertible portion of the Avenue Loan did not include a beneficial conversion feature, because the effective conversion price exceeded the commitment date market price of the Company’s common stock. Interest expense incurred was $0.4$1.3 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022.

Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities, except for those shares that are issuable for little or no cash consideration. Diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares reflects the dilutive effect, if any, of potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In periods with reported net operating losses, all common stock options and warrants are generally deemed anti-dilutive such that basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal.
17

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 because their effects would be anti-dilutive:

Income Taxes
As discussed in Note 14 Income Taxes of the Company’s Annual Report, the Company has a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has not recognized any unrecognized tax benefits in its balance sheet.
The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S., as well as various state and international jurisdictions. The federal and state tax authorities can generally reduce a net operating loss (but not create taxable income) for a period outside the statute of limitations in order to determine the correct amount of net operating loss which may be allowed as a deduction against income for a period within the statute of limitations. Additional information regarding the statutes of limitations can be found in Note 14 Income Taxes of the Company’s Annual Report.

medac Matter
In April 2021, the Company issued an invoice for €1
 million
(which (which currently converts to approximately $1.2
$1.0 million)
to medac GmbH, a privately held, multi-national pharmaceutical company based in Germany (“medac”), the Company’s EU product distribution partner, for a milestone payment due under the License, Supply and Marketing Agreement (the “License Agreement”) dated December 10, 2018, between the Company and medac. Pursuant to the License Agreement, a milestone is due upon achieving positive efficacy in the FOCUS
T
rial Trial as defined by the FOCUS
T
rial
Trial protocol. Per the
t
rial
trial protocol and associated Statistical Analysis Plan, positive efficacy is based on whether the Objective Response Rate (ORR) exceeds a pre
-pre-specified
specified threshold. A preliminary analysis of the FOCUS
T
rial Trial data based on 87% of enrolled patients was released on March 31, 2021, and subsequently
presented
at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting held virtually from the 4th through the 8th of June 2021.
Per that analysis, the ORR exceeded the pre
-
specified
pre-specified
threshold. While the final ORR iswas not yet known at the time, given the magnitude by which the ORR exceeded the pre
-
specified
pre-specified
endpoint and the small number of patients yet to be assessed, the final ORR will be greater than the pre
-
specified
pre-specified
endpoint regardless of the responder status of the remaining patients. medac disagreesdisagreed that the milestone iswas due and claimsclaimed that a full clinical study report is required in addition to the existing ORR analysis. medac has not disputed the accuracy of the ORR analysis or underlying data, but simply asserts that a full clinical study report is required prior to payment. While the Company disagrees with this interpretation, since medac hashad stated
it doe
s
did not intend to pay the invoice at this time, under revenue recognition criteria set out in ASC 606, the Company cannotdid not recognize the revenue.

Company Overview

We are an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. Our lead product candidate, the HEPZATO

®KIT (melphalan hydrochloride for injection/hepatic delivery system)Hepatic Delivery System), or HEPZATO,
, is a drug/device combination product designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects. HEPZATO has not been approved for sale in the United States. In Europe, the hepatic delivery systemHepatic Delivery System is a stand-alone medical device having the same device components as HEZPATO, but without the melphalan hydrochloride, and is approved for sale under the trade name CHEMOSAT
®
Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan, or CHEMOSAT, where it has been used at major medical centers to treat a wide range of cancers of the liver.

20


The Company’s clinical development program for HEPZATO is comprised of the FOCUS Clinical Trial for Patients with Hepatic Dominant Ocular Melanoma (the “FOCUS Trial”), a global registration clinical trial that is investigating objective response rate in metastatic ocular melanoma, or mOM. The Company is currently reviewing the incidence, unmet need, available efficacy data and development requirements for a broad set of liver cancers in order to select a portfolio of follow-on indications which will maximize the value of the HEPZATO platform.

In the United States, HEPZATO is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated as a drug by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA. Primary jurisdiction for regulation of HEPZATO has been assigned to the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The FDA has granted Delcath six orphan drug designations (five for melphalan in the treatment of patients with ocular (uveal) melanoma, cutaneous melanoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and neuroendocrine tumors) and one for doxorubicin in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma).

Our most advanced development program is the treatment of ocular melanoma liver metastases, or mOM, a type of primary liver cancer. We are currently reviewing the incidence, unmet need, available efficacy data and development requirements for a broad set of liver cancers in order to select a portfolio of indications which will maximize the value of the HEPZATO platform. We believe that the disease states we are investigating and intend to investigate are unmet medical needs that represent significant market opportunities.

In December 2021, the Company announced that the FOCUS Trial for HEPZATO met its pre-specified endpoint. Based on the FOCUS Trial results, the Company is preparing to submit a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA for HEPZATO. The Company held a

pre-NDA
meeting with the FDA in April 2022 and is awaiting the official minutes from the meeting.2022. Based on the feedback from FDA, the Company does not believe any additional
pre-clinical
or clinical studies are required to
re-file
the NDA. Due to vendor delays in delivering certain reports, we plan to submit an NDA to the FDA by the end of the third quarteryear. The Company has opened two Expanded Access Program sites to provide access to patients who meet the inclusion criteria during the pendency of 2022.
FDA’s review of HEPZATO.

On February 28, 2022, CHEMOSAT received Medical Device Regulation certification under the European Medical Devices Regulation [2017/745/EU], which may be considered by jurisdictions when evaluating reimbursement. As of March 1, 2022, the Company has assumed direct responsibility for sales, marketing and distribution of CHEMOSAT in Europe.

Revenue

We recorded approximately $2.1 million in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in product revenue was primarily due to the transition to direct sales in Europe beginning in March 2022 which increased the average price per unit sold.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are incurred for the development of HEPZATO and consist primarily of payroll and payments to contract research and development companies. To date, these costs are related to generating pre-clinical data and the cost of manufacturing HEPZATO for clinical trials, conducting clinical trials and preparation costs for submission of HEPZATO to the FDA. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased to $13.6 million from $10.2 million in the prior year period.

The increase in other expenses is primarily due to 2022 including a full year of interest expense and amortization expense for the original issue discount on the debt financing transaction between the Company and its lender, Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31,September 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $20.5 million,$14.0 million. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, the Company used $6.4$17.6 million of cash in our operating activities.

Our future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. We have operated at a loss for our entire history and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve consistent profitability. We have historically funded our operations through a combination of private placements and public offerings of our securities. We will need to raise additional capital under structures available to us, including debt and/or equity offerings.

On October 26, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVLS”) had been below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2023, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with

22


19

ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. If compliance is not achieved by April 24, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement. To qualify for the additional 180-day period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirements for minimum closing bid price of its common stock and all other initial listing standards (with the exception of the minimum MVLS requirement). If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company will continue to monitor its MVLS and consider its available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum MVLS requirements, which may include applying for an extension of the compliance period or appealing to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Our financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to support our future operations.

Our capital commitments over the next twelve months include $6.1$8.6 million to satisfy March 31,September 30, 2022 accounts payable, accrued expenses and lease liabilities and $2.9$7.1 million of loan principal payments. Our capital commitments past the next twelve months include (a) $0.1 million of lease liabilities; (b) $9.8$5.5 million of loan principal payments; (c) $1.2 million of estimated settlement of litigation and (c)(d) $5.0 million of convertible note principal payments, if the holders do not elect to convert the notes into equity.

We also expect to use cash, cash equivalents and investment proceeds to fund our clinical research and operating activities. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the initiation and progress of clinical trials and research and product development programs; obtaining regulatory approvals and complying with applicable laws and regulations; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization activities, including marketing arrangements; the timing and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; and the effect of competing technological and market developments.

If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash.

On August 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Avenue Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the “Lender,” or “Avenue”) for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million (the “Avenue Loan”). The Avenue Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) the sum of 7.70% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (b) 10.95%. The interest rate at March 31,September 30, 2022 was 10.95%.13.2% and increased to 13.95% for October 2022. The Avenue Loan is secured by all of the Company’s assets globally, including intellectual property. The Avenue Loan matures on August 1, 2024. Additional information regarding the Avenue Loan can be found in Note 8 to the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q.

On July 20, 2022, the Company closed a private placement for the issuance and sale of 690,954 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and 566,751 pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to certain investors. Each share of common stock was sold at a price per share of $3.98 and the Pre-Funded Warrants were sold at a price of $3.97 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock and are immediately exercisable. The Company received gross proceeds from the private placement of approximately $5.0 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties, or injunctions prohibiting us from selling our products or engaging in other activities.

medac Matter

In April 2021, the Company issued an invoice for €1€1.0 million (which currently converts to approximately $1.2$1.0 million) to medac GmbH, a privately held, multi-national pharmaceutical company based in Germany (“medac”), the Company’s EU product distribution partner, for a milestone payment due under the License, Supply and Marketing Agreement (the “License Agreement”) dated December 10, 2018, between the Company and medac. Pursuant to the License Agreement, a milestone is due upon achieving positive efficacy in the FOCUS Trial as defined by the FOCUS Trial protocol. Per the trial protocol and associated Statistical Analysis Plan, positive efficacy is based on whether the Objective Response Rate (ORR) exceeds a pre-specified threshold. A preliminary analysis of the FOCUS Trial data based on 87% of enrolled patients was released on March 31, 2021, and subsequently presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting held virtually from the 4th through the 8th of June 2021. Per that analysis, the ORR exceeded the pre-specified threshold. While the final ORR iswas not yet known at the time, given the magnitude by which the ORR exceeded the pre-specified endpoint and the small number of patients yet to be assessed, the final ORR will be greater than the pre-specified endpoint regardless of the responder status of the remaining patients. medac disagreesdisagreed that the milestone iswas due and claimsclaimed that a full clinical study report iswas required in addition to the existing ORR analysis. medac has not disputed the accuracy of the ORR analysis or underlying data, but simply assertsasserted that a full clinical study report is required prior to payment. While the Company disagrees with this interpretation, since medac hashad stated they dodid not intend to pay the invoice at this time, under revenue recognition criteria set out in ASC 606, the Company did not recognize the revenue.

On October 12, 2021, the Company notified medac in writing that it was terminating the License Agreement due to medac’s nonpayment of the milestone payment due under the License Agreement, with the effective date of termination of the License Agreement being April 12, 2022. medac disputed having an obligation to make a milestone payment under the Agreement and demanded withdrawal of the termination notice. The Company declined to withdraw the termination notice and, on December 16, 2021, the Company initiated an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the License Agreement.

24


On December 30, 2021, the Company received a letter from medac stating that, due to itsthe Company’s failure to withdraw the termination notice, medac was terminating the License Agreement with immediate effect. In the letter, medac reserved its rights in full, including a purported claim for damages for wrongful termination. In a separate letter, medac agreed to orderly transition through February 28, 2022 in order to minimize the impact of any termination on patients and physicians. The Company agreed to purchase inventory held at medac in March 2022 for approximately $0.2 million.

On October 25, 2022, the parties reached a tentative agreement regarding the terms for a final settlement of the matter subject to the execution of a definitive settlement agreement on or before December 31, 2022. Under the agreed on settlement terms, Delcath will pay medac a royalty on sales of CHEMOSAT units over a defined minimum for a period of five years or until a maximum payment has been reached. The arbitration proceedingsettlement terms also contain a minimum annual payment in the event the annual royalty payment does not reach the agreed on minimum payment amount. There is moving forwardno assurance that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement for the settlement of the matter on or prior to December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has estimated the settlement to be $1.2 million and recorded it as other liabilities, non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and a charge in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Aside from the risk factors below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our common stock.

On October 26, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVLS”) had been below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2023, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) if at any time before April 24, 2023, the Company maintains its MVLS at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. If compliance is not achieved by April 24, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the parties agreeingminimum MVLS requirement. To qualify for the additional 180-day period, the Company will be required to staymeet the arbitrationcontinued listing requirements for minimum closing bid price of its common stock and all other initial listing standards (with the exception of the minimum MVLS requirement). If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a finiteNasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company will continue to monitor its MVLS and consider its available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum MVLS requirements, which may include applying for an extension of the compliance period or appealing to pursue settlement discussions.a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. Further, if we were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Moreover, while the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no assurance that any actions that we take to restore our compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement would prevent future non-compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement or other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On July 18, 2022, the Company and certain accredited investors entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the investors in a private placement (i) 690,954 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $3.98 per share and (ii) 566,751 pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock at a purchase price of $3.97 per pre-funded warrant. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock and are immediately exercisable. Upon the closing of the private placement on July 20, 2022, the Company received gross proceeds of

25


approximately $5.0 million, before the deduction of offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the private placement for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Based in part upon the representations of the investors in the securities purchase agreement, the offering and sale of the securities was made in reliance on the exemption afforded by Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws.
