Various statements in this report of Alimera Sciences, Inc. (we, our, Alimera the Company or the registrant)Company) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on information currently available to our management. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “contemplates,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “likely,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or words, identify forward-looking statements. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. Meaningful factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have customers, employees and distributors;

the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales of ILUVIEN® resulting from (a) limitations on in-person access to physicians for treatment imposed by governments or healthcare facilities and (b) the unwillingness of patients, many of whom suffer from diabetic macular edema and, in Europe and the Middle East, non-infectious uveitis, to visit their physicians in person due to their fear of contracting the COVID-19 pandemic;

the possibility that we may fail to plan appropriately to meet the demand of our customers for ILUVIEN, which could lead either to (a) ILUVIEN being out of stock or (b) our investment of a slowdowngreater amount of cash in inventory than we need;

the possibility that the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to changes in reimbursement policies and reduce market access for ILUVIEN in countries where we sell ILUVIEN;

the possibility that we may fail to maintain or reductionmodify as necessary our internal controls over financial reporting in the current environment in which (a) some of our employees are working remotely and (b) we or our distributors are required to modify our standard business processes to take into account the current environment in light of the COVID-19 pandemic;

the possibility of reduced efficiency and potential distractions of our employees resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting loss of productivity;

the possibility that we may fail to comply with minimum required revenue and liquidity covenants in our sales in due$45.0 million loan and security agreement with Solar Capital Ltd.;

uncertainty associated with our transition from our key third-party manufacturer of certain component parts of the ILUVIEN injector to a reduction in end user demand, unanticipated competition, regulatory issues, or other unexpected circumstances;

uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow through the commercialization of ILUVIEN® in the U.S., the European Economic Area (EEA) and other regions of the world where we sell ILUVIEN;
successor manufacturer;

dependence on third-party manufacturers to manufacture ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates in sufficient quantities and quality;

quality, in a timely manner, and at an acceptable price;

financial uncertainty associated with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration of those effects, which had an adverse effect on our need to replacerevenue in the second quarter of 2020 and may in the future have an adverse effect on our key third-party manufacturerrevenue and on our financial condition and cash flows as well as an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of our quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and recoverability of certain component partsreceivables;

a slowdown or reduction in our sales due to, in addition to the other factors cited above, a reduction in end user demand, unanticipated competition, regulatory issues, or other unexpected circumstances;

uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow through the commercialization of ILUVIEN in the U.S., the European Economic Area and other regions of the ILUVIEN injector before our manufacturing contact with the manufacturer expires on September 30, 2020;

world where we sell ILUVIEN;

uncertainty regarding the pricing and reimbursement guidelines for ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates, including ILUVIEN in new markets;

uncertainty associated with our pursuit of reimbursement withapproval from local health authorities in certain countries including the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Italy, Spain and France for the recently obtained additional indication for ILUVIEN for prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIPU)(NIU-PS);

uncertainty associated with our ability to meet any post-market requirements for NIPUNIU-PS in the European Economic Area;

the possibility that the NEW DAY Study may fail to demonstrate the efficacy of ILUVIEN as baseline therapy in patients with early diabetic macular edema (DME) or to generate data demonstrating the benefits of ILUVIEN when compared to the current leading therapy for DME, as well as uncertainty regarding the total expense we will incur over the next three to four years related to the NEW DAY Study and how we will fund these costs;

the possibility that we may not be entitled to forgiveness of our PPP Loan;

our ability to retain our current employees and to recruit and retain the new employees we need in the future, in particular a productive sales force;

the possibility that we may fail to comply with the Nasdaq listing standards in the future;

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alimera Sciences, Inc., together with its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries (the Company), is a pharmaceutical company that specializes in the commercialization and development of ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. The Company was formed on June 4, 2003 under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Company is presently focusedfocuses on diseases affecting the back of the eye, or retina, because the Company believes these diseases are not well treated with current therapies and affect millions of people in our aging populations.globally. The Company’s only commercial product is ILUVIEN®, which has received marketing authorization and reimbursement approval in the U.S., Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. In the U.S., Canada, Kuwait, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates, ILUVIEN is indicatednumerous countries for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). In the European Economic Area (EEA) countries in whichaddition, ILUVIEN has received marketing authorization it is indicatedin 16 European countries and has obtained reimbursement approval in 2 countries, Germany and the U.K., for the treatment of vision impairment associated with DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.
In addition, as explained in the following paragraph, ILUVIEN is now indicated for prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIPU) in the EEA countries where the Company has satisfied the country’s labeling requirements. As of the date of this filing, the Company has satisfied the labeling requirements in the United Kingdom and expects to comply with the local labeling requirements of other EEA countries, but timelines for satisfying individual country requirements vary. Uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the uveal tract, which is comprised of the iris, ciliary body and choroid, that can lead to severe vision loss and blindness.
In July 2017, the Company amended its license with EyePoint Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (EyePoint) formerly known as pSivida US, Inc. for the technology underlying ILUVIEN to include the treatment of uveitis, including NIPU in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (See Note 10)(NIU-PS). In December 2017, the Company filed an application for a new indication for ILUVIEN for NIPU in the 17 EEA countries where ILUVIEN is currently approved for the treatment of DME. In March 2019, the Company received the Final Variation Assessment Report (FVAR) for ILUVIEN from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency of the United Kingdom (MHRA) based on the Company’s submission to the MHRA through the Mutual Recognition Procedure. Under that procedure, the United Kingdom has acted as the Reference Member State and prepared an assessment report to share with the 16 other countries in the EEA in which the Company applied for an additional indication. The FVAR states that ILUVIEN is approved for the additional indication for prevention of relapse in NIPU. In June 2019, the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended funding for ILUVIEN for NIPU. In the United Kingdom, a NICE recommendation for funding signifies that the country’s National Health Service (NHS) will pay for ILUVIEN prescriptions for the treatment of NIPU as part of its offering. Timing for receiving funding for ILUVIEN for NIPU, if received at all, in the other EEA countries in which the Company has applied for the additional indication can vary. The reimbursement process in each EEA country usually starts after the Company has satisfied the labeling requirements of each individual country.

The Company has completed enrollment into a five-year, post-authorization, open label registry study in patients treated with ILUVIEN. In total, 562 patients enrolled in this study, and the Company anticipates the follow up period to be completed in early 2020.

The Company commercially markets ILUVIEN directly in the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom,U.K., Portugal, Austria and Ireland. In addition, the Company has entered into various agreements under which distributors are providing or will provide regulatory, reimbursement orand sales and marketing support for commercialization or future commercialization of ILUVIEN in Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and several countries in the Middle East. In 2016, the Company’s Middle East distributor launched ILUVIEN and initiated named patient sales in the United Arab Emirates. The Company’s Italian distributor launched ILUVIEN in Italy in 2017. The Company’s Spanish distributor began selling on a named patient basis in 2017 and is currently pursuing reimbursement at the national level. The Company’s French distributor received pricing and reimbursement approval in March 2019 for ILUVIEN for DME and began selling in April 2019. The Company’s Canadian distributor is currently pursuing reimbursement. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company has recognized sales of ILUVIEN to the Company’s international distributors in the Middle East, France, Italy and Spain.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (Interim Financial Statements) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-018-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, theythese Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.

The accompanying interim financial statementsInterim Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2019.March 2, 2020. The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the expected financial results for the full year.



Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, businesses, and the public at large to limit the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread have had, and the Company expects will continue to have, certain negative effects on, and present certain risks to, the Company’s business. The Company is currently unable to fully determine its future impact on the Company’s business. These limitations and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the Company’s revenues late in the first quarter of 2020 and throughout the second quarter of 2020. The Company expects these factors to continue to adversely impact the Company’s revenue, and the extent and duration of that impact is uncertain at this time. The Company is monitoring the pandemic and its potential effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This uncertainty could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and realizability of certain receivables. Should the pandemic continue for an extended period, the impact on the Company’s operations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, financial condition and cash flows.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 14, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected a one-for-15 reverse stock split (the “reverse split”) of its issued and Development Expenses

Researchoutstanding shares of common stock at 5:01 PM Eastern Time on that date. As a result of the reverse split, every 15 shares of common stock issued and development expensesoutstanding were $166,000converted into one share of common stock. The Company paid cash in lieu of fractional shares, and $310,000 foraccordingly, 0 fractional shares were issued in connection with the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and development expenses were $363,000 and $414,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Prior period reclassification
An immaterial reclassification of prior period amounts related to revenue and cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization has been made to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassificationreverse split.

The reverse split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding options, preferred stock, restricted stock units, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or otherwise receive shares of Alimera’s common stock have any impact on gross profit, net loss from operations or net loss.

Recent been adjusted as a result of the reverse split, as required by the terms of each security. The number of shares available to be awarded under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of shares that are purchasable under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan have also been appropriately adjusted.

Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time,Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations for lease recognition and disclosure. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, while recognizing expenses on the income statements in a manner similar to the guidance previously in effect. ASU 2016-02 became effective for fiscal years and interim periods for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires that leases be recognized and measured as of the earliest period presented, using a modified retrospective approach, with all periods presented being adjusted and presented under the new standard. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (ASC 842)Targeted Improvements, which provides companies an optional adoption method to ASU 2016-02 whereby a company does not have to adjust comparative period financial statements for the new standard.
The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and did not restate comparative periods. The Company elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard. In accordance with the package of practical expedients, the Company did not reassess initial direct costs, lease classification, or whether its contracts contain or are leases. The Company also made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less, unless the leases include options to renew or purchase the underlying asset that are reasonably certain to be exercised. See Note 5 for expanded disclosures.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to allow reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. Upon adoption of the ASU, entities are required to describe the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. This ASU became effective on January 1, 2019, and the Company adopted it at that time. Entities will apply the ASU by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

12

ALIMERA SCIENCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC326)): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology thatreflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. The standard isbecomes effective for annual periods beginning afterthe Company on January 1, 2023. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 15, 2019, includingthe FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and (3) exceptions in interim periods within those annual periods,period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with early adoption available.a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax and (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company is in the process of determining the effect that the adoption will have on its financial statements.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Net Revenue

The Company sells its products to major pharmaceutical distributors, pharmacies, hospitals and wholesalers (collectively, its Customers). In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with healthcare providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. All of the Company’s current contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct.

Currently, all

All of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. The Company recognizes revenues from product sales at a point in time when the Customer obtains control, typically upon delivery. The Company accrues for fulfillment costs when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had received a total of $1,000,000 of milestone payments in connection with the Company'sCompany’s Canadian distributor that it has not recognized as revenue based on the Company’s analysis in connection with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). These deferred revenues are included as a component of other non-current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets.

11


Estimates of Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for reserves related to statutory rebates to State Medicaid and other government agencies; commercial rebates and fees to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), distributors, and specialty pharmacies; product returns; sales discounts (including trade discounts); distributor costs; wholesaler chargebacks; and allowances for patient assistance programs relating to the Company’s sales of its products.

These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. Management’s estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and Customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. If actual results vary, the Company may adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.

With respect to the Company’s international contracts with third party distributors, certain contracts have elements of variable consideration, and management reviews those contracts on a regular basis and makes estimates of revenue based on historical ordering patterns and known market events and data. The amount of variable consideration included in net sales in each period could vary depending on the terms of these contracts and the probability of reversal in future periods.

Consideration Payable to Customers

Distribution service fees are payments issued to distributors for compliance with various contractually-defined inventory management practices or services provided to support patient access to a product. Distribution service fees reserves are based on the terms of each individual contract and are classified within accrued expenses and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Product Returns

The Company’s policies provide for product returns in the following circumstances: (a) expiration of shelf life on certain products; (b) product damaged while in the Customer’s possession; and (c) following product recalls. Generally, returns for expired product are accepted three months before and up to one year after the expiration date of the related product, and the related product is destroyed after it is returned. The Company may either refund the sales price paid by the Customer by issuing a credit or exchanging the returned product for replacement inventory. The Company typically does not provide cash refunds. The Company estimates the proportion of recorded revenue that will result in a return by considering relevant factors, including historical returns experience, the estimated level of inventory in the distribution channel, the shelf life of products and product recalls, if any.

The estimation process for product returns involves, in each case, a number ofseveral interrelating assumptions, which vary for each Customer. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customers and records this


14

ALIMERA SCIENCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

estimate as a reduction of revenue from product sales in the period the related revenue is recognized, and because this returned product cannot be resold, there is no corresponding asset for product returns. To date, product returns have been minimal.

Other Revenue

The Company enters into agreements in which it licenses certain rights to its products to partner companies that act as distributors. The terms of these arrangements may include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services the Company provides; and a revenue share on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments is recognized as other revenues.

As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop estimates that require judgment to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the Customer, and the Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price; these assumptions may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical, regulatory and commercial success.

Certain of these agreements include consideration in the form of milestone payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates the recognition of milestone payments. Typically, milestone payments are associated with

12


events that are not entirely within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals;approvals, are included in the transaction price;price, and are subject to a constraint until it is probable that there will not be a significant revenue reversal, typically upon achievement of the milestone. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price.

Customer Payment Obligations

The Company receives payments from its Customers based on billing schedules established in each contract, which vary across the Company’s locations, but generally range between 30 to 120 days. Occasionally, the timing of receipt of payment for the Company’s international Customers can be extended. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation is that the Customer will pay for the product or services in one year or less of receiving those products or services.

5. LEASES

The Company evaluates all of its contracts to determine whether it is or contains a lease at inception. The Company reviews its contracts for options to extend, terminate or purchase any right of use assets and accounts for these, as applicable, at inception of the contract. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard. In accordance with the package of practical expedients, the Company did not reassess initial direct costs, lease classification, or whether its contracts contain or are leases. The Company made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less, or those that do not meet the Company’s capitalization threshold, unless the leases include options to renew or purchase the underlying asset that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Lease costs associated with those leases are recognized as incurred. The Company has also chosen the practical expedient that allows it to combine lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Lease renewal options are not recognized as part of the lease liability until the Company determines it is reasonably certain it will exercise any applicable renewal options. The Company has determined it is not reasonably certain it will exercise any applicable renewal options. The Company has not recorded any liability for renewal options in these Interim Financial Statements. The useful lives of leased assets as well as leasehold improvements, if any, are limited by the expected lease term.

Operating Leases

The Company’s operating lease activities primarily consist of leases for office space in the U.S., the United Kingdom and Germany. Most of these leases include options to renew, with renewal terms generally ranging from one to seven years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain of the Company’s operating lease agreements include variable lease costs that are based on common area maintenance and property taxes. The Company expenses these payments as incurred. The Company’s operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

2020.

As of June 30, 2019,2020, the weighted average remaining lease terms of the Company’s operating leases was 3.83.1 years. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the lease liabilities was 10.2%10.1%. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease or sublease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must estimate its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate is defined as the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis and over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, management has elected to utilize a portfolio approach and apply the rates to a portfolio of leases with similar underlying assets and terms. Upon adoption of the new lease standard, discount rates used for existing leases were established at January 1, 2019.

Finance Leases

The Company’s finance lease activities primarily consist of leases for office equipment and automobiles. The propertyProperty and equipment isleases are capitalized at the lesser of fair market value or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s finance lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

6. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying Interim 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 Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To date, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations and has accumulated a deficit of $384,928,000$391,314,000 from inception through June 30, 2019.2020. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company had approximately $12,157,000$13,496,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability and positiveavoid depleting its cash flow depends upon its ability to increasemaintain revenue and contain its expenses.

Should the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic be extended, the Company has plans in place to reduce its expenses further in the future.

Further, the Company must maintain compliance with the debt covenants of its $40,000,000$45,000,000 Loan and Security Agreement dated January 5, 2018 with Solar Capital Ltd., as Collateral Agent, and the parties signing such agreement from time to time as Lenders, including Solar Capital in its capacity as a Lenderamended (see Note 11)10). In management’s opinion, the uncertainty regarding future revenues raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without access to additional debt and/or equity financing over the course of the next twelve months.

To meet the Company’s future working capital needs, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing. While the Company has historicallyfrom time to time been able to raise additional capital through issuance of equity and/or debt financing, and while the Company has implemented a plan to control its expenses to satisfy its obligations due within one year from the date of issuance of these Interim Financial Statements, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to maintain debt compliance, raise additional equity, contain expenses, or increase revenue. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after these Interim Financial Statements are issued.

The Company paid 0 fees to Solar Capital; however, the Company agreed to reimburse Agent for its legal fees.

Paycheck Protection Program

On April 22, 2020, the Company received approximately $1,778,000 in support in the form of a loan from the U.S. federal government under the Paycheck Protection Program established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act (the PPP Loan). The PPP Loan is also obligatedunsecured and is evidenced by a note (the Note) in favor of HSBC Bank USA, National Association (HSBC) as the lender and is governed by a Loan Agreement with HSBC.

The interest rate on the Note is 1.0% per annum. The Note has a two-year term and is payable in 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on the 180th day following the disbursement of the loan proceeds, subject to forgiveness as described below. The Paycheck Protection Program provides a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds during the 24-week period following disbursement for eligible purposes as described in the CARES Act and related guidance. The Company used all of the proceeds from the PPP Loan to pay additional feesexpenses during the applicable period that the Company believes were for eligible purposes. On July 21, 2020, the Company submitted an application to HSBC for forgiveness of the PPP Loan.

In connection with the PPP Loan, the Company entered into a Consent to Loan and Security Agreement (the Consent) under the Exit Fee Agreement (Exit Fee Agreement) dated as of January 5, 2018 by and among2019 Solar Loan Agreement. In the Company,Consent, Solar Capital consented as Collateral Agent and a Lender, and the other Lenders consented as Lenders, to the indebtedness incurred under the PPP Loan, subject to certain conditions, including the Company’s covenant to comply with specified provisions of the CARES Act, the Company’s confirmation of the accuracy of its representations and warranties in the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement and related documents and a release in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The Exit Fee Agreement survives the termination of the 2018 Loan Agreement and has a term of 10 years.

The Company is obligated to pay up to, but no more than, $2,000,000 in fees underaccounted for the Exit Fee Agreement.

Specifically, the Company is obligated to pay an exit fee of $2,000,000 upon a “change in control” (as definedPPP Loan in the Exit Fee Agreement). To the extentsame manner as it has for its other loan agreements. Payments that Alimera has not already paid the $2,000,000 fee, the Company is also obligated to pay a feeare due within 12 months of $1,000,000 on achieving each of the following milestones:
a.first, if the Company achieves revenues of $80,000,000 or more from the sale of its ILUVIEN product in the ordinary course of business to third party customers, measured on a trailing 12-month basis during the term of the agreement, tested at the end of each month; and
b.second, if the Company achieves revenues of $100,000,000 or more from the sale of its ILUVIEN product in the ordinary course of business to third party customers, measured in the same manner.

The Company agreed, for itselfincurred and its subsidiaries, to customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default in connectioncapitalized insignificant costs with third parties as deferred financing costs associated with the 2018PPP Loan Agreement. The occurrence of an event of default could result inand is expensing these costs to interest expense over the acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Loan Agreement and an increase to the applicable interest rate, and would permit Solar Capital to exercise remedies with respect to the collateral under the 2018 Loan Agreement.
The Company’s obligations to Solar Capital as Agent and the Lenders are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets, excluding intellectual property, of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alimera Sciences (DE), LLC (Alimera DE), which is a guarantorlife of the loan provided that only 65%using the effective interest method. If the Company’s application for forgiveness were to be approved, the Company will recognize a gain on extinguishment of debt at the time of forgiveness.

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS)

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), which requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company’s preferred stockholders participate in dividends equally with common stockholders (if the Company were to declare and pay dividends), the Company uses the two-class method to calculate EPS. However, the Company’s preferred stockholders are not contractually obligated to share in losses.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. In periods where a net loss is recorded, no effect is given to potentially dilutive securities, since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Common stock equivalent securities that would potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they were either classified as participating or would have been anti-dilutive, were as follows:

13. PREFERRED STOCK
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On October 2, 2012, the Company closed its preferred stock financing in which it sold units consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $40,000,000, prior to the payment of approximately $560,000 of related issuance costs. The powers, preferences and rights of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State as part of the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder at the rate equal to $40.00 divided by $2.66 (Conversion Price). The initial Conversion Price was subject to adjustment based on certain customary price based anti-dilution adjustments. These adjustment features lapsed in September 2014. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then-effective Conversion Price upon the date on which the Company consummates an equity financing transaction pursuant to which the Company sells to one or more third party investors either (a) shares of common stock or (b) other equity securities that are convertible into shares of common stock and that have rights, preference or privileges, senior to or on a parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case having an as-converted per share of common stock price of not less than $10.00 and that results in total gross proceeds to the Company of at least $30,000,000. The rights and preferences of Series A Preferred Stock also place limitations on the Company’s ability to declare or pay any dividend or distribution on any shares of capital stock.
Each unit sold in the preferred stock financing included a warrant to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The rights to exercise these warrants expired on October 1, 2017.
In 2014, the Company issued 6,015,037 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2019, there were 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 12, 2014, the Company closed a preferred stock financing in which it sold 8,291.873 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock) for a purchase price of $6,030 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000, prior to the payment of approximately $432,000 of related issuance costs. The Company issued an additional 124.378 shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a subscription premium to the purchasers. On September 4, 2018, all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (see below).
On September 4, 2018, following the closing of the exchange of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Elimination of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Alimera Sciences, Inc., which eliminated from the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, the Alimera Sciences, Inc. Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, all shares of the Company’s preferred stock previously designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were eliminated and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to series.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into and closed a Series B Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) with the holders of all of the outstanding approximately 8,416 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Under the Exchange Agreement, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock exchanged their shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate of 10,150 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (Series C Preferred Stock). The powers, preferences and rights of the Series C Preferred Stock are set forth in the certificate of designation filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State as part of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended. All of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were canceled in the exchange. The Company incurred approximately $122,000 in legal costs related to the Exchange Agreement.
The 10,150 issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock have an aggregate stated value of $10,150,000 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share, or 10,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in total, at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.98% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. The Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and in the event of certain mergers, tender offers and asset sales, the holders of the Series C

ALIMERA SCIENCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Preferred Stock will receive the greater of (a) the liquidation preference equal to $10,150,000 in the aggregate, plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (b) the amount such holders would receive had all shares of the Series C Preferred Stock been converted into the Company’s common stock immediately before such event. With respect to rights upon liquidation, the Series C Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and senior to the Company’s common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness. Except as otherwise required by law (or with respect to approval of certain actions), the Series C Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. The Series C Preferred Stock is not subject to any price-based anti-dilution protections and does not provide for any accruing dividends.
The Company determined that the Exchange Agreement resulted in an extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $38,330,000 on the extinguishment of preferred stock during the third quarter of 2018. As of the transaction date, the Company made an assessment of the fair market value of the Series C Preferred Stock and calculated the value to be $11,239,000, prior to the payment of approximately $122,000 of related transaction costs. The Company recorded this gain within stockholders’ equity and as an increase to earnings available to stockholders during the third quarter of 2018. The $38,330,000 gain on extinguishment of preferred stock was derived by the difference in the fair market value of the Series C Preferred Stock and the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock.

13. INCOME TAXES

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.


At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, the Company’s best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company’s quarterlyCompany also applies the provisions for income tax rate may differ from its estimated annual effective tax rate becausetaxes related to, among other things, accounting standards require the Company to exclude the actual results of certain entities expected to generate a pretax loss when applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the Company’s consolidated pretax results in interim periods. In estimating the annual effective tax rate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, including the reversal of valuation allowances, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense (benefit) and pretax income (loss) in quarterly periods. The income tax expense (benefit) for such unusual and/or infrequent items is recorded in the quarterly period such items are incurred.


The Company’s income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon the respective estimated annual effective tax rates applicable for the respective periods adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions and other items.disclosure requirements. The Company’s effectiverecorded liability for uncertain tax rate forpositions as of June 30, 2020 has increased by approximately $8,000 as compared to December 31, 2019. There has been no change to the threeCompany’s policy that recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law. In addition to other provisions, the CARES Act contains modifications to Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryback rules. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 properly excluded2020, there was no impact to the tax benefits associated with year-to-date pre-tax losses generated in the U.S., Ireland and the Netherlands. Income tax positions are considered for uncertainty in accordance with ASC 740-10. The Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefitsprovision related to researchthe CARES Act. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the CARES Act and development tax credits. In accordance with ASC 740-10, such attributes are reduced to the amount that is expected to be recognized in the future. The Company has not accrued interest or penalties as no research and development credits have been utilized due to significant net operating losses (NOLs) available. The Company does not expect any decreases to the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to any lapses in statute of limitations. Tax years remain subject to examination at the U.S. federal level between 2010 and 2017, and subject to examinations at various state levels between 2005 and 2017. The statute of limitations on these years will close when the NOLs expire or when the statute closes on the years in which the NOLs are utilized. Tax years since 2012 remain subject to examination in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Tax years since 2013 remain subject to examination in Germany.

Significant management judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Due to uncertainties with respect to the realization of deferred tax assets due to the history of operating losses, a valuation allowance has been established against the net deferred tax asset balance in the U.S., Ireland and the Netherlands. The valuation allowance is based on management’s estimates of taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the period over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or the Company adjusts these estimates in future periods, a change in the valuation allowancehow other elections may be needed, which could materially impact the Company’sour financial position, and results of operations.
operations, and disclosures, if needed.

At December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had U.S. federal NOL carry-forwards of approximately $122,455,000$125,756,000 and state NOL carry-forwards of approximately $153,333,000$172,993,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The Company’s U.S. federal NOL carry-forwards remain fully reserved as of June 30, 2019. If2020. Except for the NOLs generated after 2017, the U.S. federal NOLs not fully utilized the federal NOL carry-forwards will expire at various dates between 2029 and 2037 and the2037; most state NOL carry-forwards will expire at various dates between 2020 and 2037.

Sections 3822039. Under the Tax Cuts and 383Jobs Act of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limit the annual use of NOL carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards, respectively, following an ownership change. NOL carry-forwards may be subject to annual limitations under IRC Section 382 (Section 382) (or comparable provisions of state law) if certain changes in ownership were to occur. The Company periodically evaluates its NOL carry-forwards and whether certain changes in ownership have occurred that would limit the Company’s ability to utilize a portion of its NOL carry-forwards. If it is determined that significant ownership changes have occurred since the Company generated its NOL carry-forwards, it may be subject to annual limitations on the use of these NOL carry-forwards under Section 382 (or comparable provisions of state law). The Company determined that a Section 382 change in ownership occurred in late 2015. As a result of this change in ownership, the Company preliminarily estimated that approximately $18.6 million of the Company’s2017, U.S. federal NOLs and approximately $382,000 of federal tax creditssome state NOLs generated prior to the change in ownershipafter 2017 will not be utilized in the future. The Company is currently in the process of refining and finalizing these calculations, and upon finalization, will determine if a write-off is necessary. The reduction to the Company’s NOL

indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had cumulative book losses in foreign subsidiaries of $126,648,000.$134,379,000. The Company has not recorded a deferred tax asset for the excess of tax over book basis in the stock of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that its foreign subsidiaries will be profitable and have earnings in the future. Once the foreign subsidiaries do have earnings, the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest in its foreign subsidiaries all undistributed earnings of and original investments in such subsidiaries. As a result, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability related to excess of book over tax basis in the stock of its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 740-30-25.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forthprovided in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, our most recent Form 10-Q and in Part II, Item 1A of this report below. For further information regarding forward-looking statements, please refer to the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Projections” immediately after the index to this report above.

Alimera Sciences, Inc., and its subsidiaries (we, our Alimera or the Company)us), is a pharmaceutical company that specializes in the commercialization and development of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. We presently focus on diseases affecting the back of the eye, or retina, because we believe these diseases are not well treated with current therapies and affect millions of people in our aging populations.

globally. Our only commercial product is ILUVIEN®, which has received marketing authorization and reimbursement approval in the U.S., Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. In the U.S., Canada, Kuwait, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates, ILUVIEN is indicatednumerous countries for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). In the European Economic Area (EEA) countries in whichaddition, ILUVIEN has received marketing authorization it is indicatedin 16 European countries and has obtained reimbursement approval in two countries, Germany and the U.K., for the treatment of vision impairment associated with DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.
In addition, as explained in the following paragraph, ILUVIEN is now indicated for prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment (NIU-PS).

We market ILUVIEN directly in the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Portugal, Austria and Ireland. In addition, we have entered into various agreements under which distributors are providing or will provide regulatory, reimbursement and sales and marketing support for ILUVIEN in Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and several countries in the Middle East.

As of June 30, 2020, we have recognized sales of ILUVIEN to our international distributors in the Middle East, France, Italy and Spain.

Effects of the eye (NIPU)COVID-19 Pandemic

The unprecedented and adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the EEA countriesregions where we have satisfiedcustomers, employees and distributors have had an adverse effect on our sales of ILUVIEN and thus on our net revenues and may in the country’s labeling requirements. Asfuture have an adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. These adverse effects of the datepandemic on us have resulted from the following, among other factors. Governments and private parties imposed limitations on in-person access to physicians, which adversely affects us in at least two ways. First, these limitations can affect patient access to treatment. Because ILUVIEN is administered only by an injection into the eye, telemedicine is not a viable substitute when administration of treatment is required. Second, limitations on in-person access to physicians also makes it difficult or impossible for our sales representatives (including those employed by our distributors) to meet with retina specialists and their staff to educate them about ILUVIEN.

Our business is also negatively affected by patients’ concerns in the current environment. Prior to the pandemic, most of our ILUVIEN sales were driven by the use of ILUVIEN to treat diabetic macular edema, or DME. Given that health authorities have cited diabetes as a factor that places a person at higher risk for severe illness from the COVID-19 pandemic, many of those patients are unwilling to visit their physicians in person (even if otherwise permitted) due to their fear of contracting the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to the effects of limitations on in-person access to physicians, limitations on travel within and between the countries in which we market and sell ILUVIEN, as well as various types of “shelter in place” orders, has curtailed our in-person marketing activities.

These limitations and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on our revenues late in the first quarter and throughout the second quarter. We expect these factors to continue to adversely impact our revenue, but the extent and duration of that impact is uncertain at this filing,time. Depending on the duration of these limitations and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our liquidity and financial condition may be adversely affected in the future as well.

In response to these developments, we have satisfiedimplemented measures to mitigate the labeling requirementsimpact of the pandemic on our financial position and operations. These measures include the following:

We have managed our cost structure, minimizing all non-payroll spending where possible to mitigate our anticipated loss of revenue and conserve our cash.

We have decreased our external spending on commercial and medical affairs activities related to the promotion of ILUVIEN. 

Because we believe that our employees are critical to both (a) serving our customers and patients as the pandemic-related restrictions are lifted in the United Kingdomcoming weeks and expectmonths, and (b) realizing the long-term value of ILUVIEN, we have maintained our staffing levels and do not currently have any plans to complyreduce them.

License Agreement with the local labeling requirements of other EEA countries, but timelines for satisfying individual country requirements vary. Uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the uveal tract, which is comprised of the iris, ciliary body and choroid, that can lead to severe vision loss and blindness.

EyePoint Pharmaceuticals US, Inc.

In July 2017, we amended and restated our license agreement with EyePoint Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (EyePoint), formerly known as pSivida US, Inc., which was made effective July 1, 2017 (the New Collaboration Agreement). Under the New Collaboration Agreement, we

have rights to the technology underlying ILUVIEN now includesfor the treatment of uveitis, including NIPU,NIU-PS, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In December 2017, we filed an application for a new indication for ILUVIEN for the treatment of NIPU in the 17 EEA countries where ILUVIEN is currently approved for the treatment of DME. In March 2019, we received the Final Variation Assessment Report (FVAR) for ILUVIEN from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency of the United Kingdom (MHRA) based on our submission to the MHRA through the Mutual Recognition Procedure. Under that procedure, the United Kingdom has acted as the Reference Member State and prepared an assessment report to share with the 16 other countries in the EEA in which we applied for an additional indication. The FVAR states that ILUVIEN is approved for the additional indication for prevention of relapse in NIPU. In June 2019, the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended funding for ILUVIEN for NIPU. In the United Kingdom, a NICE recommendation for funding signifies that the country’s National Health Service (NHS) will pay for ILUVIEN prescriptions for the treatment of NIPU as part of its offering. Timing for receiving funding for ILUVIEN for NIPU, if received at all, in the other EEA countries in which we have applied for the additional indication can vary. The reimbursement process in each EEA country usually starts after we have satisfied the labeling requirements of each individual country.

The New Collaboration Agreement converted our previous profit share obligation to a royalty payable on global net revenues of ILUVIEN. We began paying a 2% royalty on net revenues and other related consideration to EyePoint effective July 1, 2017. The royalty amount increased to 6% as of December 12, 2018. We will pay an additional 2% royalty on global net revenues and other related consideration in excess of $75.0 million in any year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized approximately $401,000 and $982,000 of royalty expense, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $401,000 of this royalty expense was included in our accounts payable. In comparison, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized approximately $434,000 and $950,000 of royalty expense, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $434,000 of this royalty expense was included in our accounts payable. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized approximately $218,000 and $411,000 of royalty expense, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Following the signing of the New Collaboration Agreement, we retained a right to offset $15.0 million of future royalty payments.payments (the Future Offset). In March 2019, pursuant to the New Collaboration Agreement, we forgave $5,000,000 of the Future Offset in connection with the approval of ILUVIEN for NIPUNIU-PS in the United Kingdom.U.K. As of June 30, 2019,2020, the balance of the Future Offset was approximately $9,603,000.$8,367,000. (See Note 109 of our notes to the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (InterimInterim Financial Statements).Statements.)

We commercially market ILUVIEN in the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Austria and Ireland. In addition, we have entered into various agreements under which distributors are providing or will provide regulatory, reimbursement or sales and marketing support for ILUVIEN in France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and several countries in the Middle East. In 2016, our Middle East distributor launched ILUVIEN and initiated named patient sales in the United Arab Emirates. Our Italian distributor launched ILUVIEN in Italy in 2017. Our Spanish distributor began selling on a named patient basis in 2017 and upon receiving reimbursement, plans a full-scale launch in 2019. Our French distributor received pricing and reimbursement approval in March 2019 for ILUVIEN for DME and began selling in April 2019. Our Canadian distributor is currently pursuing reimbursement. As

Sources of June 30, 2019, we have recognized sales of ILUVIEN to the Company’s international distributors in the Middle East, France, Italy and Spain.

We commenced operations in June 2003. Since our inception we have incurred significant losses. As of June 30, 2019, we had accumulated a deficit of $384.9 million. We expect to incur additional expenses as we:
continue the commercialization of ILUVIEN in the U.S. and EEA, where we sell direct;
continue to seek regulatory approval of ILUVIEN for other indications and in other jurisdictions;
evaluate the use of ILUVIEN for the treatment of other diseases; and
advance the clinical development of any future products or product candidates either currently in our pipeline, or that we may license or acquire in the future.
As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $12.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Revenues

Our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 20182019 were generated from product sales primarily in the U.S., Germany and the United Kingdom.U.K. In the U.S., two large pharmaceutical distributors accounted for 67%34% and 73%67% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and 59%43% and 72%59% of our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. These U.S.-based distributors purchase ILUVIEN from us, maintain inventories of ILUVIEN and sell downstream to physician offices, pharmacies and hospitals. Internationally, in countries where we sell direct, our customers are hospitals, clinics and pharmacies. We sometimes refer to physician offices, pharmacies, hospitals and clinics as end users. In international countries where we sell to distributors, these distributors maintain inventory levels of ILUVIEN and sell to their customers.

Reverse Stock Split Effective November 14, 2019

On November 14, 2019, we filed a certificate of amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected a one-for-15 reverse stock split (the “reverse split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at 5:01 PM Eastern Time on that date. As a result of the reverse split, every 15 shares of common stock issued and outstanding were converted into one share of common stock.

First Amendment to 2019 Solar Capital Loan Agreement

On May 1, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment (the Amendment) to our $45,000,000 Loan and Security Agreement (the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement) with Solar Capital, as Agent, and the parties signing the Loan Agreement from time to time as Lenders, including Solar Capital in its capacity as a Lender (collectively, the Lenders). For a summary of the terms of the Amendment, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Indebtedness – Loans from Solar Capital.”

Net Revenue

We began generating revenue from ILUVIEN in 2013.

Revenue from our U.S. distributors and revenue from our partners in the markets in our international segment where we do not sell direct fluctuates depending on the timing of the shipment of ILUVIEN to the distributors and the distributors’ sales of ILUVIEN to their customers.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Stockholders per Share of Common Stock

We follow FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), which requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Because our preferred stockholders participate in dividends equally with common stockholders (if we were to declare and pay dividends), the Company useswe use the two-class method to calculate EPS. However, our preferred stockholders are not contractually obligated to share in losses.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. In periods where a net loss is recorded, no effect is given to potentially dilutive securities, since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Common stock equivalent securities that would potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they were either classified as participating and do not share in losses or would have been anti-dilutive, were approximately 35,202,3282,471,266 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 2,347,076 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and 32,772,750 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the diluted earnings per share denominator for all periodsrespectively.


Results of Operations - Segment Review

The following selected unaudited financial and operating data are derived from our Interim Financial Statements. The results and discussions that follow reflect how executive management monitors the performance of our reporting segments.

We have three segments: U.S., International and Other. Each segment is separately managed and is evaluated primarily upon segment gain or loss from operations. Non-cash items including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization are categorized as Other. We allocate certain operating expenses between our reporting segments based on activity-based costing methods. These activity-based costing methods require us to make estimates that affect the amount of each expense category that is attributed to each segment. Changes in these estimates will directly affect the amount of expense allocated to each segment and therefore the operating profit of each reporting segment. There were no significant changes in our expense allocation methodology during 20192020 or 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Since inception, we have incurred recurring losses, negative cash flow from operations and have accumulated a deficit in stockholders’ equity of $384.9$391.3 million through June 30, 2019.2020.

As explained above in “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic,” the unprecedented and adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have customers, employees and distributors have had an adverse effect on our sales of ILUVIEN and thus on our net revenues. Depending on the duration of the pandemic and the success of our strategy to conserve our cash and otherwise mitigate the impact of the pandemic, the pandemic may have an adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition in the future as well. We expect that the pandemic may continue to adversely affect our operations. As a result, it is difficult to project the extent of that impact now and as this situation continues to evolve.

Since January 2018, we have funded our operations through the public2018 and private placement2019 Solar Loan Agreements described below and a small offering of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants,stock. In April 2020, we obtained a loan under the sale of certain assetsPaycheck Protection Program established as part of the non-prescription businessCoronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act. Our loans do not include a revolving loan feature and have been fully advanced by the respective lenders. We currently have no additional borrowing capacity, and the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement generally prohibits any additional debt unless we obtain the prior consent of Solar Capital. Currently, we cannot access the equity markets without severe dilution to our current stockholders.

On July 9, 2020, we announced the initiation of the NEW DAY study, a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial designed to generate prospective data for ILUVIEN 0.19 mg as a first-line baseline therapy in patients diagnosed with DME and demonstrate ILUVIEN’s advantages over the current standard of care (anti-VEGF injections). We estimate we will incur approximately $13.5 million in expenses over the next three to four years associated with the NEW DAY Study. We expect to fund these costs with existing resources, cash flow from operations and the redeployment of other clinical spending.

Under our 2012 agreement with Flextronics International, Ltd. (Flextronics), Flextronics agreed to manufacture the component parts of the ILUVIEN applicator for us at its facility located near Tijuana, Mexico. We purchased certain equipment for Flextronics’ facility that Flextronics uses solely to manufacture the components of the ILUVIEN applicator for us. During 2019, Flextronics gave us 18 months’ notice to terminate the existing manufacturing agreement, which will terminate on September 30, 2020. We have identified an alternative manufacturer and are currently negotiating a final agreement to allow the transfer of equipment and qualification of the new facility, which is located in Pennsylvania. We currently expect to incur approximately $400,000 of capital expenditures associated with the new facility through February 2021, when we were previously engaged and certain debt facilities.

expect the new facility to be fully operational. We expect the capital expenditures to be one-time costs. Flextronics is manufacturing a safety stock of the components of the ILUVIEN applicator, which will cause some of the manufacturing costs for the components to be accelerated into the third quarter of 2020, with no production of these parts occurring in the fourth quarter.

Indebtedness

Loans from Solar Capital. On January 5, 2018, we entered into thea $40.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the 2018 Solar Loan Agreement) with Solar Capital Ltd. (Solar Capital) and other lenders.Under the 2018 Solar Loan Agreement, with Solar Capital. Under this agreement, we borrowed the entire $40.0 million as a term loan that matureswas scheduled to mature on July 1, 2022.2022 (the 2018 Solar Loan). We used the proceeds of the 2018 Solar Loan to refinance the then outstanding loan under our previous loan agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. and to pay closing expenses associated with the 2018 Solar Loan Agreement.

On December 31, 2019, we refinanced the 2018 Solar Loan Agreement to repayby entering into a $45.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement) with Solar Capital as Collateral Agent (Agent), and the Herculesparties signing the 2018 Solar Loan Agreement from time to time as Lenders, including Solar Capital in its capacity as a Lender (collectively, the Lenders). Under the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement, we borrowed $42.5 million on December 31, 2019 and pay related expenses.$2.5 million on February 21, 2020 (the 2019 Solar Loan). The 2019 Solar Loan matures on July 1, 2024. We used the initial proceeds of the 2019 Solar Loan to pay off the 2018 Solar Loan, along with related

prepayment, legal and other fees and expenses totaling approximately $2.3 million, which included $2.2 million in fees to Solar Capital. We expect to use the remaining loan proceeds in 2018of the 2019 Solar Loan to provide additional working capital for general corporate purposes. (See Note 11purposes, and those proceeds are part of the cash and cash equivalents described below.

On May 1, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment (the Amendment) to the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement. The Amendment, among other things:

(a)eliminated the previous requirement that the following covenant (the Revenue Covenant) be measured at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020: we shall not permit revenues (under U.S. GAAP) from the sale of ILUVIEN in the ordinary course of business to third party customers, on a trailing six-month basis, to be less than a specified minimum revenue amount for each such date;

(b)requires that the Revenue Covenant be measured at November 30, 2020 and specifies a new minimum revenue amount in that regard;

(c)requires that the Revenue Covenant be measured at December 31, 2020 and specifies a new minimum revenue amount in that regard; and

(d)requires that the Revenue Covenant be measured at March 31, 2021 and at the last day of each quarter thereafter, with the minimum revenue amount equal to a percentage of our notesprojected revenues in accordance with an annual plan we submit to Interim Financial Statements.)

Agent by January 15th of such year, such plan to be approved by our board of directors and Agent in its sole discretion.

The Amendment also adds the following new minimum liquidity requirement that became effective on May 1, 2020 and will continue until we notify Agent that we have met the Revenue Covenant at November 30, 2020: we shall not permit the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to be less than the sum of (i) $8,500,000 plus (ii) the amount of our accounts payable that have not been paid within 90 days from the invoice date of the relevant account payable.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan. On April 22, 2020, we received approximately $1.8 million in support (the PPP Loan) from the U.S. federal government under the Paycheck Protection Programestablished as part of the CARES Act. The PPP Loan is unsecured and is evidenced by a note (the Note) in favor of HSBC Bank USA, National Association (HSBC) as the lender and is governed by a loan agreement with HSBC.

The interest rate on the Note is 1.0% per annum. The Note has a two-year term and is payable in 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on the 180th day following the disbursement of the loan proceeds, subject to forgiveness as described below. The Paycheck Protection Program provides a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed as long as we use the loan proceeds during the 24-week period following disbursement for eligible purposes as described in the CARES Act and related guidance. We used all of the proceeds from the PPP Loan to pay expenses during the applicable period that we believe were for eligible purposes. On July 21, 2020, we submitted an application to HSBC for forgiveness of the PPP Loan. As of the date of this filing, the application is still pending review. To the extent any or all of the PPP Loan is not forgiven, we will be required to repay the PPP Loan on the terms described above.

Current Cash Position

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had approximately $13.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $1.3 million from the $12.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Due to the limited revenue generated by ILUVIEN to date,equivalents that we reported as of March 31, 2020. In April 2020, we received approximately $1.8 million PPP Loan. We may haveneed to raise additional capital to fund our business strategy, including the continued commercialization of ILUVIEN. IfILUVIEN and the retention of our current employees and staff. In response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unablehave adjusted, and we expect to raise additional financing, we will needcontinue to adjust, our commercial plans so that we canspending to continue to operate with our existing cash resources. The actual amount of funds that we willmay need will depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. See “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” in this Item 2 above for an explanation of our strategy to conserve our cash and otherwise mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our financial position and operations.

We may need funds sooner thancannot ensure that our commercial spending controls will be effective or will continue to be effective throughout the currently anticipated.

unknown duration of the pandemic. We cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, the additional financing wouldcould be obtained on terms favorablethat are not significantly detrimental to us or our stockholders. If we were to raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result, and the terms of any new equity securities may have a preference over our common stock. If we were to attempt to raise additional funds through strategic collaboration agreements, we may not be successful in obtaining those agreements, or in receiving milestone or royalty payments under them. If we were to attempt to raise additional funds through debt financing, (a) the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as

covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to commercialize ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates or operateachieve our business;business strategy; and (b) we would be required to obtain the permission or participation of Solar Capital, which we might not be able to obtain. Our capital raising efforts may be hindered by the fact that we are currently not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which could ultimately lead to our delisting from Nasdaq if we are unable to regain compliance. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. Our recurring losses and any potential needs to raise capital create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months following the issuance of the financial statements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments outside the ordinary course of business from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of business related to the guarantee of our own performance and the performance of our subsidiaries.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 3 of our notes to Interim Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and expected effects on results of operations and financial condition, if known.


ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.


ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.

2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have implemented new internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standard related to leases on our financial statements as a result of its adoption on January 1, 2019.

There havehas been no other changeschange in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the six months ended June 30, 20192020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings, and management is not aware of any contemplated proceedings by any governmental authority against us.


ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2019,March 2, 2020, we identify under Item 1A of Part I important factors that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future operations and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations, including those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as described below and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in our risk factors after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019. However, the risks described in our Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we currently deem to be immaterial or not currently known to us, as well as other risks reported from time to time in our reports to the SEC, also could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations.

You should read the following information in conjunction with the Interim Financial Statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, Financial Information and the discussion and analysis of our financial condition in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business, and such impacts may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, health authorities, businesses, and the public at large to limit the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread have had, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative effects on, and present certain risks to, our business including the following:

We have experienced a decrease in sales of ILUVIEN in the U.S. and in our international markets that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting from, among other things:

Governments and private parties have imposed limitations on in-person access to physicians, which can (and in certain instances already have):

affect patient access to treatment, given that ILUVIEN is administered only by an injection into the eye, which means telemedicine is not a viable substitute; and

make it difficult or impossible for our sales representatives (including those employed by our distributors) to meet with retina specialists and their staff to educate them about the benefits of ILUVIEN and to provide support for insurance pre-certifications.

Our business is also negatively affected by patient behavior in the current environment. Most of our ILUVIEN sales are driven by the use of ILUVIEN to treat diabetic macular edema, or DME. Given that governmental authorities have cited diabetes as a factor that places a person at higher risk for severe illness from the COVID-19 pandemic, many of those patients are or may be unwilling to visit their physicians in person (even if otherwise permitted) due to their fear of contracting the COVID-19 pandemic.

These limitations had an adverse impact on our revenues late in the first quarter of 2020 and throughout the second quarter. We received noticeexpect these factors to continue to adversely impact our revenue, but the extent and duration of that impact is uncertain at this time. If the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies (as is currently the case in June 2019the Southern portion of the U.S. from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) thatcoast to coast), its duration is longer than we failedexpect or if a second pandemic follows after initial resolution, its negative effect on our sales and thus our liquidity and financial condition could be more prolonged and may be severe. Financial uncertainty associated with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the duration of those effects, could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of our quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and realizability of certain receivables.

Other effects or possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on us include:

Limitations on travel within and between the countries in which we market and sell ILUVIEN, as well as various types of “shelter in place” orders, have curtailed our in-person marketing activities, which have in turn contributed to lower sales of ILUVIEN.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related governmental guidance or directives, we required almost all office-based employees, including almost all employees based at our headquarters in Georgia, to work remotely for some or all of the second quarter. While most of our personnel in our headquarters have returned to work in the office, we may in the future experience reductions in productivity and disruptions to our business routines if remote work requirements are reinstated in Georgia.

We may fail to maintain or modify as necessary our internal controls over financial reporting in an environment in which (a) many of our employees are working remotely and (b) we or our distributors have been and may be required to modify our standard business processes to take into account the current environment in light of the pandemic. If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our operating results and our ability to operate our business could be harmed.

We may fail to plan appropriately to meet the demand of our customers for ILUVIEN, which could lead either to (a) ILUVIEN being out of stock or (b) our investment of a greater amount of cash in inventory than we need. Either event could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

As the result of lower sales of ILUVIEN, we may fail to comply with financial covenants in our $45.0 million 2019 Solar Loan Agreement, as amended, that are based on (a) minimum trailing six months’ revenues as of November 30, 2020 and the Nasdaq Global Market’send of each calendar quarter thereafter and (b) a minimum bidliquidity requirement becausethat took effect on May 1, 2020. If an event of default under the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement occurs, Solar Capital may accelerate all of our repayment obligations and take control of our pledged assets, potentially requiring us to raise additional financing, renegotiate the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement on terms less favorable to us or immediately cease operations. Any declaration by Solar Capital of an event of default could significantly harm our business and prospects and could cause the price of our common stock price was below $1.00 per common shareto decline significantly after we publicly disclose that event in an SEC filing. Further, if we are liquidated, Solar Capital’s right to repayment would be senior to the rights of our stockholders.

We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our PPP Loan.

In April 2020, we received proceeds of approximately $1.8 million from a loan under the PPP of the CARES Act, which we used to retain current employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. The PPP Loan matures in April 2022 and bears annual interest at a rate of 1.0%.

Commencing October 2020 and subject to prior forgiveness of all or part of the PPP Loan, we are required to pay HSBC equal monthly payments of principal and interest based on the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan as of October 2020, plus interest outstanding at the end of the six-month deferment period, and taking into account any reductions in the principal amount due to forgiveness, if any. Interest accrued during the six-month deferment period will be capitalized as principal. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is generally available for 30 consecutive business days.the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the date the lender makes the first disbursement of the PPP Loan. We havewill be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not regained complianceforgiven, along with Nasdaq’s minimum bid requirement,accrued interest, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be eligible for loan forgiveness or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.

We must replace our third-party manufacturer of certain component parts of the ILUVIEN injector, and we may be unable to do so. Ifreplace that third party on favorable terms in a timely manner, or at all.

On March 28, 2019 we were to fail to regain compliance, our shares could be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market, which could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and have an adverse effect on its market price.

We received notice (dated April 1, 2019) from Flextronics Medical Sales and Marketing, Ltd. (Flextronics) that it intends to terminate the Manufacturing Services Agreement dated March 2, 2012 between us and Flextronics for the manufacture of certain component parts of the ILUVIEN injector (the Flextronics Agreement). Based on June 3, 2019, from NasdaqFlextronics’ notice, the Flextronics Agreement will

terminate on September 30, 2020. In the notice, Flextronics stated that asit is available to work with us and will continue to supply product during the notice period.

We have identified an alternative manufacturer with which we have entered into a statement of May 31, 2019,work for the closing bid price for our common stocktransition and are currently negotiating a final agreement on the Nasdaq Global Market was below $1.00 formanufacturing contract and the last 30 consecutive business dayscomponent pricing. However, unless and that, asuntil we transition to a result, we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). This is the third notice of noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement that we have received since June 2018. The notice stated that pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we will have 180 calendar days, until December 2, 2019, to regain compliance. For us to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, our common stock must have a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive business days. Under certain circumstances, however, to ensure that a company can sustain long-term compliance, Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that the company complies. Our common stock is continuing to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol ALIM during this 180-day period.

If we do not regain compliance during the initial 180-day compliance period, we may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period to regain compliance if we elect to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and we would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If it appears to Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency or we are otherwise not eligible, however, Nasdaq would notify us that our securities would be subject to delisting. If we were to receive such a notification, we could appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist our securities, butreplacement manufacturer, there can be no assurance Nasdaq would grant our request for continued listing.
We intend to regain compliance withassurances that manufacturing of the minimum bid price requirement to allow for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, including seeking to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Marketaffected parts will be performed timely and thereby qualify for another 180-day compliance period if are unable to regain compliance by December 2, 2019. We cannot provide any assurances, however,effectively or that we will be able to regain compliance, including, if necessary, transferringtransition to a new manufacturer in a timely and effective manner. Significant disruption in this transition, or unanticipated costs related to the Nasdaq Capital Market to qualify for an additional 180-day compliance period. This statement of our intention to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, including, if necessary, transferring to the Nasdaq Capital Market, is a forward-looking statement. We may not regain compliance, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. Meaningful factors that could cause actual results to differ include our inability to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement.
The delisting of our shares from the Nasdaq Global Markettransition, could materially reduce the liquidityand adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to transition manufacturing to a new vendor in a timely fashion or without disruption to our common stock and have anoperations, we could experience a material adverse effect on its market price. A delisting could also make it more difficult for us to obtain financing through the saleour business, financial condition and cash flows, and results of our equity. Any such saleoperations.
