About Us

We are a clinical-stagelate-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatmentsfocused on the clinical development and potential commercialization of leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist to treat HIV infection, with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 appears to play a key role in the ability of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) to enter and infect healthyT-cells. The CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in human metastases and in immune-mediated illnesses such asgraft-vs-host disease (“GvHD”) andNon-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (“NASH”).indications.

We believe the leronlimab antibody shows promise as a powerful anti-viralantiviral agent while not being a chemically synthesized drug and haswith the advantage of fewer side effects, lower toxicity and less frequent dosing requirements, as compared to daily drug therapies currently in use for the treatment of HIV. The leronlimab antibody belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors that block HIV from entering into and infecting certain cells. Leronlimab blocks HIV from entering a cell by binding to a molecule called theC-C chemokine receptor type 5 (“CCR5”),CCR5, a normal cell surfaceco-receptor receptor protein to which certain strains of HIV, referred to as “R5” strains, attach as part of HIV’s entry into a cell.

Leronlimab is an antibody, and through several short-term clinical trials, it has demonstrated efficacy without issues relating to toxicity, side effects or drug resistance. Moreover, these trials suggest that PRO 140leronlimab does not affect the normal function of the CCR5co-receptor for HIV. Instead, leronlimab binds to a precise site on CCR5 that R5 strains of HIV use to enter the cell and, in doing so, inhibits the ability of these strains of HIV to infect the cell without affecting the cell’s normal function. We believe that the R5 strains of HIV currently represent approximately 70% of all HIV infections in the U.S. As a result, we believe PRO 140leronlimab represents a distinct class of CCR5 inhibitors with advantageous virological and immunological properties and may provide a unique tool to treat HIV infected patients.

The preclinical and clinical development of leronlimab was led by Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Progenics”) through 2011. We believeacquired the asset from Progenics in October 2012. In February 2018, we announced we had met the primary endpoint in its Phase 3 trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment experienced HIV patients, and filed the non-clinical portion of our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) on March 18, 2019. We filed with the FDA the Clinical, along with the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (“CMC”) portions of the BLA in April and May of 2020. In July 2020, we received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding the BLA filing.

Our current business strategy is uniquely positioned to addressresubmit our BLA filing for leronlimab as a growingcombination therapy for highly treatment experienced HIV marketpatients as an alternative or insoon as possible. In addition, we intend to current therapies, which are failing primarily due to compliance, which causes drug resistance. In sevenadvance our clinical trials previously conducted,and seek approval for leronlimab was generallyas a potential therapeutic benefit for COVID-19 patients with mild-to-moderate, as well tolerated, and no drug-related serious adverse events or dose-proportional adverse events relatedas, severe to critical indications; to advance our clinical trials with leronlimab were reported. In addition, there were no dose-limiting toxicities or patternsfor various forms of drug-related toxicities observed during these trials. The results of these studies established that leronlimab’s antiviral activity was potent, rapid, prolonged, dose-dependent, and statistically significant following a single dose. Because leronlimab’s mechanism of action (for a monoclonal antibody use in HIV) is a relatively new therapeutic approach, it provides a very useful method of suppressing the virus in treatment-experienced patients who have failed a prior HIV regimen and need new treatment options.

In addition to HIV indications, we are currently expanding thecancer, including, among others, our Phase 1b/2 clinical focus of leronlimab to include the evaluation of certaintrial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and immunological indications where CCR5 antagonism has shown initial promise. InPhase 2 trial for 22 solid tumor cancers; to continue our Phase 2 trial for graft-versus-host disease (“GvHD”); to finalize with the setting of cancer, research has shown that CCR5 playsFDA our submitted protocol for a central role in tumor invasion and metastasis and that increased CCR5 expression is an indicator of disease status in breast cancer. Moreover, research has shown that drugs that block CCR5 can block tumor metastases in laboratory and animal models of aggressive breast and prostate cancer. We are conducting additional research with leronlimab in the cancer setting, and we have initiated apivotal Phase 1b/2 human3 clinical trial with leronlimab in metastatic triple-negative breastas a monotherapy for HIV patients; and to concurrently explore other cancer and immunologic indications for which the investigational new drug application was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2018.

In addition, we believe that the CCR5 receptor also plays a central role in modulating immune cell trafficking to sites of inflammation and it is crucial for the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and other inflammatory conditions. Clinical studies by others have shown that blocking CCR5 using a chemical inhibitor can reduce the clinical impact of acute GvHD without significantly affecting the engraftment of transplanted bone marrow stem cells. We are currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical study with leronlimab to further support the concept that the CCR5 receptor on engrafted cells is critical for the development of acute GvHD and that blocking this receptor from recognizing certain immune signaling molecules is a viable approach to mitigating acute GvHD. The FDA has granted orphan drug designation to leronlimab for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).leronlimab.

We are aware that on September 3, 2020, the SEC filed a warrant covering 601,513 sharescomplaint against the selling stockholder, John M. Fife and four other entities he owns and controls, alleging such parties were operating as unregistered securities dealers. In 2007, we are aware the SEC charged Fife with violations of common stock held by Mr. Clark’s spouse. Mr. Clark is10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder for his participation in in annuity market timing scheme. SEC v. Fife, No. 07-C-0347 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 18, 2007). That case settled after Fife consented to an injunction, monetary relief, and a partnerbar from associating with an investment adviser, with the right to reapply after 18 months. In 2012, in Paulson Investment Company, LLC.an unrelated action, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) barred Fife from association with any FINRA member for failing to respond to FINRA requests for information. FINRA Case No. 2011029203701 (March 2012).

Material Transactions with Selling Stockholder

In addition to the Long-Term Convertible Note Transaction, we have entered into other private placements of our securities with the selling stockholder during the past three years.

On June 26, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which we issued a convertible promissory note (the “June 2018 Note”) with a two-year term to the selling stockholder in the initial principal amount of $5.7 million. The selling stockholder gave consideration of $5.0 million, reflecting original issue discount of $0.6 million and debt issuance costs of $0.1 million. The June 2018 Note bore interest of 10% and was convertible into common stock, at a conversion rate of $0.55 per share. The June 2018 Note provided for conversion in total, or in part, of the outstanding balance, into our common stock at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the June 2018 Note, and allowed for redemption, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $350,000. Effective November 15, 2018, the June 2018 Note was amended to allow the selling stockholder to redeem the monthly redemption amount of $350,000 in cash or stock, at the lesser of (i) $0.55, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion, multiplied by a conversion factor of 85%.

During the twelve months ended May 31, 2019, we received redemption notices from the selling stockholder under the June 2018 Note requesting an aggregate redemption of $1,455,000 of the outstanding balance thereof. In satisfaction of the redemption notices, we issued shares of common stock totaling 3,756,406 to the selling stockholder in accordance with the terms of the June 2018 Note. During the year ended May 31, 2020, we received a redemption notice requesting an aggregate redemption of $4,476,000 settling the remaining outstanding balance in full, including accrued but unpaid interest. In satisfaction of the redemption notice, we issued shares of common stock totaling 8,512,622 and paid cash totaling $525,000 to the selling stockholder in accordance with the terms of the June 2018 Note. Following the redemptions, the June 2018 Note has been fully satisfied and there is no outstanding balance.

On January 30, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “January 2019 Note”) with a two-year term to the selling stockholder in the initial principal amount of $5.7 million. In connection with the issuance of the January 2019 Note, we granted a lien against all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property, to secure all obligations owed to the selling stockholder by the Company (including those under both the January 2019 Note and the June 2018 Note). The selling stockholder gave consideration of $5.0 million, reflecting original issue discount of $0.6 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The January 2019 Note bore interest of 10% and was convertible into shares of our common stock, at $0.50 per share. The January 2019 Note provided for conversion in total, or in part, of the outstanding balance, into our common stock at any time upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the January 2019 Note. The January 2019 Note provided that the selling stockholder may redeem any portion of the January 2019 Note upon five trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $350,000. The monthly redemption amount may be paid in cash or stock, at our election, at the lesser of (i) $0.50, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion, multiplied by a conversion factor of 85%. The redemption provision met the definition of a derivative instrument and did not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. In conjunction with the January 2019 Note, the selling stockholder received a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.30 which is exercisable until the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance. During the years ended May 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019, we recognized approximately $6,145,000 and $126,000, respectively, of interest expense related to the January 2019 Note. During the year ended May 31, 2020, we received a redemption notice from the selling stockholder of the January 2019 Note, requesting an aggregate redemption of approximately $6,271,000 settling the remaining outstanding balance in full, including accrued interest. In satisfaction of the redemption notice, we issued shares of common stock totaling 10,842,255 and paid cash totaling $850,000 to the January 2019 Note holder in accordance with the terms of the January 2019 Note. Following the redemption, the January 2019 Note has been fully satisfied and there is no outstanding balance. On June 29, 2020, the Company issued the selling stockholder 4,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares were issued as settlement for a claim filed by the selling stockholder against the Company alleging that selling stockholder was owed additional shares upon conversion of the January 2019 Note compared to the number of shares requested of the Company by the selling stockholder upon conversion.

On March 31, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year maturity to the selling stockholder in the initial principal amount of $17.1 million. We received consideration of $15.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $2.1 million (the “March 2020 Note”). The March 2020 Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property. Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the March 2020 Note at 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest accrues at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the selling stockholder may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the March 2020 Note, which will increase automatically upon such acceleration by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default. The selling stockholder may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the March 2020 Note into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.50 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the March 2020 Note. On April 3, 2020, the Company amended the March 2020 Note limiting monthly issuances of Common Stock resulting from conversions to 1,000,000 shares in any calendar month during the first six months (“April 3, 2020 Conversion Limitation Amendment”). In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the March 2020 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The March 2020 Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver Common Stock within specified timeframes. The selling stockholder may redeem any portion of the March 2020 Note, at any time after six months from the issue date, upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $950,000. The March 2020 Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of our receipt of such notice. We may prepay the outstanding balance of the March 2020 Note, in part or in full, at a 15% premium to par value, at any time upon fifteen trading days’ notice. The selling stockholder may sell conversion shares pursuant to a registration statement prior to the date that is six (6) months from the issue date; the March 2020 Note included a volume limitation on sales of conversion shares to 1,000,000 shares per calendar month, but this limitation was eliminated in July 2020 by amendment to the March 2020 Note. The Company filed an Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-236198) with the SEC on April 30, 2020 registering a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to convert the entire outstanding balance of the March 2020 Note plus 2,500,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the exercise of warrants, which S-3 was declared effective on May 11, 2020. During June 2020 and July 2020, we received redemption notices from the selling stockholder, requesting in aggregate redemptions of $9,537,500 of the outstanding balance thereof. In satisfaction of the redemption notices, we issued shares of common stock totaling 2,119,444 to the selling stockholder in accordance with the terms of the March 2020 Note.

The additional shares of our authorized stock available for issuance may be issued at times and under circumstances so as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity ownership of the holders of our common stock. The ability of our boardBoard of directorsDirectors (the “Board”) to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the board’sBoard’s ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover situation but could also be used by the board to makea change-in-control more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential to sell their shares at a premium and entrenching current management. The following description is a summary of the material provisions of our capital stock. You should refer to our certificate of incorporation, as amended and bylaws, both of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to previous SEC filings, for additional information. The summary below is qualified by provisions of applicable law.

There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. All actions required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders must be effected at a duly called meeting, with a quorum present of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Special meetings of the stockholders may only be called by our Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative majority of the entire Board of Directors. Stockholders may not take action by written consent. As more fully described in our Certificate of Incorporation, holders of our common stock are not entitled to vote on certain Amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation related solely to our preferred stock.

Subject to preferences which may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock from time to time, holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.

The registrant maintains liability insurance covering its directors and officers for claims asserted against them or incurred by them in such capacity.

The registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent allowed under Delaware law. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the registrant’s directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the registrant’s right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of the registrant or that person’s status as a member of the registrant’s board or directors.


The registrant also maintains insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity as such.

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be a part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 (a)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

 (b)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;

 

 (c)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and

 

 (d)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by an registrant to the purchaser.

 

(6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the forgoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
