(1) Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Business

 

SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“SAB” or the “Corporation”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of a portfolio of products from its proprietary immunotherapy platform to produce fully targeted human polyclonal antibodies, without using human plasma or serum. SAB’s novel DiversitAb™ platform enables the rapid production of large amounts of targeted human polyclonal antibodies, leveraging transchromosomic cattle (Tc Bovine™) that have been genetically designed to produce human antibodies (immunoglobulin G) rather than bovine in response to an antigen. Animal antibodies have been made in rabbits, sheep and horses. However, SAB’s platform is the first to produce fully human antibodies in large animals.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and the extent to which it may impact the Corporation’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States (“U.S.”) and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and other countries to contain and treat the disease. The Corporation is following, and will continue to follow, recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as federal, state, and local governments. To date, the Corporation has not experienced material business disruptions, but it cannot be certain of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Corporation’s financial position as of September 30, 2021, and its results of operations, statement of changes in redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021. Since the date of such audited consolidated financial statements, there have been no changes to the Corporation’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in Note 3, New Accounting Standards, below.

 

 

 

 

(3) New accounting standards

 

Recently-adopted standards

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) and by clarifying and amending existing ASC 740 guidance. The guidance was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption was permitted. The Corporation adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Standards issued not yet adopted

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The guidance removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for such exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020. The Corporation is currently evaluating its adoption of the guidance and the impact that the guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. The Corporation believes that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(4) Merger

 

On June 21, 2021, the Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended August 12, 2021 (as it may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Big Cypress Acquisition Corp. (“BCYP”) and Big Cypress Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCYP providing for, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, a business combination between the Corporation and BCYP pursuant to the proposed merger of Merger Sub with and into the Corporation, with the Corporation continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). The Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.”

 

At the effective time of the Merger, and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement:

 

  Each outstanding share of the Corporation’s Common Stock and the Corporation’s Preferred Stock will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into a number of shares of New SAB Biotherapeutics Common Stock, based on the Corporation’s Equity Value and a conversion rate of $10.10;
     
  The holders of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of New SAB Biotherapeutics Common Stock being issued into escrow (the “Earnout Escrow Account”) at the closing (the “Earnout Shares”), which will be released if certain conditions are met within a five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Earnout Period”), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the Earnout Escrow Agreement; and
     
  Each outstanding vested and unvested option to purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock will be canceled in exchange for a comparable option to purchase shares of New SAB Biotherapeutics Common Stock based on the equity value of SAB Biotherapeutics and based on a conversion rate of $10.10. In addition, the holders of such options shall also receive restricted stock units (the “Earnout RSUs”) which final number will be determined prior to closing based on the pro rata percentage that the Corporation’s options represent compared to the fully diluted share capital of SAB Biotherapeutics prior to closing. Each Earnout RSU will be settled in shares of New SAB Biotherapeutics Common Stock, subject to the same milestones applicable to the Earnout Shares.

 

The total maximum number of Earnout Shares and shares underlying the Earnout RSUs will be equal to 12,000,000 additional shares of New SAB Biotherapeutics Common Stock in the aggregate.

 

 

 

 

For purposes herein and the Business Combination Agreement, the Corporation’s equity value is deemed to be an agreed upon amount equal to $300 million.

(6) Earnings (loss) per share

 

Since the Corporation reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, it was required by ASC 260 to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding when calculating diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the potential common shares are antidilutive. In addition, since the Corporation reported a loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the shares of preferred stock were not deemed to be participating securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, pursuant to ASC 260. The Corporation’s participating securities contractually entitle the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in losses of the Corporation.

 

Net loss attributable to the Corporation’s shareholders  $5,593,035 
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted   35,216,000 
Loss per common share - basic and diluted  $(0.16)

 

Options to purchase 10,062,381 shares of common stock and 20,604,636 shares of preferred stock were outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was antidilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income attributable to the Corporation’s shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 under the two-class method:

 

Net income attributable to the Corporation’s shareholders  $11,673,099 
Net income attributable to the Corporation’s shareholders applicable to preferred stock   4,080,661 
Net income attributable to the Corporation’s shareholders applicable to common stock  $7,592,438 

 

The following table reconciles the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

 

Determination of shares:    
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic   35,216,000 
Assumed conversion of preferred stock   18,927,326 
Dilutive effect of equity awards   4,353,350 
Weighted-average common shares outstanding – diluted   58,496,676

(11) Stock Option Plan

 

On August 5, 2014, the Corporation approved a stock option grant plan (the “Plan”) for employees, directors, and non-employee consultants, which provides for the issuance of options to purchase common stock. The total shares authorized under the plan was originally 8,000,000; however, during 2019, the Plan was amended to increase the total shares authorized under the plan to 16,000,000.

 

Vesting of the stock options is based upon years of service (employment). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 7,896,284 and 6,882,575 stock options, respectively, were vested and exercisable. None of the vested stock options were exercised as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was $41,291,069, of which $7,209,646 was unvested and $34,081,423 was vested and exercisable.

 

The Corporation uses the Black Scholes model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted. For stock options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Corporation utilized the following weighted-average assumptions: A risk free interest rate of 0.14% and 0.13%, respectively; expected term of 6.25 years (both years); expected dividend yield of 0% (both years); and a volatility factor of 99.7% and 106.1%, respectively. There were 651,527 in stock options forfeitures for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. There were no stock option expirations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and no stock option forfeitures or stock option expirations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

The expected term of the stock options was estimated using the “simplified” method, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peer companies, as the Corporation does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the options. The dividend assumption is based on the Corporation’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Corporation has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Corporation has assumed no dividend yield for purposes of estimating the fair value of the options.

 

 

 

 

Stock option activity for employees and non-employees under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was as follows:

 

       Weighted Average   Weighted Average 
   Options   Fair Value   Exercise Price 
             
Balance, December 31, 2020   8,815,992   $0.62   $0.60 
Granted   1,897,916   $2.43   $1.78 
Forfeited   (651,527)  $1.09   $1.04

Unvested at September 30, 2021   2,166,097   $1.94   $1.51 
Vested and exercisable at September 30, 2021   7,896,284   $0.54   $0.52 

 

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $4.2 million and is expected to be recognized within future operating results over a weighted-average period of 2.34 years. As of September 30, 2021, the weighted-average contractual term of the options outstanding was approximately 5.68 years. As of September 30, 2021, the weighted-average contractual term of the vested options was approximately 4.74.

As of September 30, 2021, as a result of the Corporation’s work around SARS-2 and the JPEO contract (please refer to Note 5, Revenue, for additional information), this project remains on hold.

 

(15) Subsequent Events

 

In the preparation of the Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements, the Corporation completed an evaluation of the impact of subsequent events through November 22, 2021, which represents the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available for issuance.

 

On October 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Corporation consummated the Business Combination, pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 21, 2021 and as amended on August 12, 2021 by the first amendment to the Business Combination Agreement with BCYP and Merger Sub.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into the Corporation, with the Corporation as the surviving company in the Merger, and, after giving effect to such Merger, the Corporation was renamed SAB Sciences, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCYP and (ii) BCYP changed its name to “SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc.” (“New SAB”).

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of the Corporation’s Common Stock and the Corporation’s Preferred Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was exchanged for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New SAB based on the agreed upon Corporation’s equity value of $300 million (the “Equity Value”) and a conversion rate of $10.10; (ii) each outstanding vested and unvested option to purchase shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock was exchanged for a comparable option to purchase New SAB Common Stock, based on the Equity Value and a conversion rate of $10.10; and (iii) holders of vested options to purchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock received, in the aggregate, 1,507,124 restricted stock units (the “Earnout RSUs”) related to shares of New SAB Common Stock. Additionally, holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock and the Corporation’s Preferred Stock are entitled to receive their pro rata share of the shares of New SAB Common Stock that were issued into escrow at the Closing (the “Earnout Shares”) which will be released if certain conditions are met within the five-year period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”). The total number of Earnout Shares and shares underlying the Earnout RSUs equaled 12,000,000 shares of New SAB Common Stock, in the aggregate.

 

No fraction of a share of New SAB Common Stock was issued at the Closing, and each person who was otherwise entitled to a fraction of a share of New SAB Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of New SAB Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) received the number of shares of New SAB Common Stock rounded in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of New SAB Common Stock.

Overview

 

SAB Biotherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a new class of immunotherapies based on its human polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. SAB has applied advanced genetic engineering and antibody science to develop transchromosomic (Tc) bovine™ herds that produce fully human antibodies targeted to specific diseases, including infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza, immune system disorders including type 1 diabetes and organ transplantation, and cancer. SAB Biotherapeutics’ versatile and scalable DiversitAb™ platform is applicable to a wide range of human diseases, capable of producing specifically targeted, high-potency immunotherapies. The platform has been expanded and validated through funding awarded from U.S. government emerging disease and medical countermeasures programs, the most recent of which totals up to approximately $203.6 million. SAB Biotherapeutics is advancing clinical programs in two indications, and preclinical development in three indications. In addition, SAB Biotherapeutics is executing on two research collaborations with global pharmaceutical companies, including CSL Behring and an undisclosed collaboration.

 

SAB generated total revenue of $55.2 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively (1,504.9 % growth), and total revenue of $49.8 million and $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively (69% growth). Our revenue to date has been primarily derived from government grants, including for the development of a COVID-19 therapeutic. Approximately $101.0 million in funding remains for our current government grants, with an additional $1.7 million remaining for our current government grants pending approval of extensions on the funding for two of the grants.

 

We plan to focus a substantial portion of our resources on continued research and development efforts towards deepening our technology and expertise with our platform and as well as indications in infectious disease, autoimmune, and oncology indications. As a result, we expect to continue to make significant investments in these areas for the foreseeable future. We incurred research and development expenses of $27.9 million and $8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and research and development expenses of $46.5 million and $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We incurred general and administrative expenses of $6.8 million and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and general and administrative expenses of $9.3 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have also experienced significant growth in our workforce in recent periods, increasing from 39 employees as of December 31, 2019, to 86 employees as of December 31, 2020 and 143 employees as of September 30, 2021. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses, and we expect such expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, including as we:

 

  invest in research and development activities to optimize and expand our DiversitAb™ platform;
     
  develop new and advance preclinical and clinical progress of pipeline programs;
     
  market to and secure partners to commercialize our products;
     
  expand and enhance operations to deliver products, including investments in manufacturing;
     
  acquire businesses or technologies to support the growth of our business;
     
  continue to establish, protect and defend our intellectual property and patent portfolio;
     
  operate as a public company.

 

 

 

 

To date, we have primarily financed our operations from government agreements, including for the development of a COVID-19 therapeutic and Rapid Response Antibody Program, and the issuance and sale of preferred stock.

 

Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $20.1 million and our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $9.0 million. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $5.6 million and our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $11.7 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $17.6 million and we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $10.8 million.

 

Recent Developments

 

In February 2021, we submitted a forgiveness application related to our Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (the “PPP Loan”). In March 2021, the United States (“U.S.”) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) approved the forgiveness of the PPP Loan, plus accrued interest.

 

On October 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 21, 2021 and as amended on August 12, 2021 by the first amendment to the agreement and plan of merger (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Big Cypress Acquisition Corp. (“BCYP”) and Big Cypress Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCYP.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into us (the “Merger”), with us as the surviving company in the Merger, and, after giving effect to such Merger, we were renamed SAB Sciences, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCYP and (ii) BCYP changed its name to “SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc.” (“New SAB”).

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of our Common Stock and our Preferred Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was exchanged for shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New SAB based on the agreed upon our equity value of $300 million (the “Equity Value”) and a conversion rate of $10.10; (ii) each outstanding vested and unvested option to purchase shares of our Common Stock was exchanged for a comparable option to purchase New SAB Common Stock, based on the Equity Value and a conversion rate of $10.10; and (iii) holders of vested options to purchase shares of our common stock received, in the aggregate, 1,507,124 restricted stock units (the “Earnout RSUs”) related to shares of New SAB Common Stock. Additionally, holders of our Common Stock and our Preferred Stock are entitled to receive their pro rata share of the shares of New SAB Common Stock that were issued into escrow at the Closing (the “Earnout Shares”) which will be released if certain conditions are met within the five-year period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”. The total number of Earnout Shares and shares underlying the Earnout RSUs equaled 12,000,000 shares of New SAB Common Stock, in the aggregate.

 

No fraction of a share of New SAB Common Stock was issued at the Closing, and each person who was otherwise entitled to a fraction of a share of New SAB Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of New SAB Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) received the number of shares of New SAB Common Stock rounded in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of New SAB Common Stock.

 

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations and Future Performance

 

We believe that our financial performance has been, and in the foreseeable future will continue to be, primarily driven by multiple factors as described below, each of which presents growth opportunities for our business. These factors also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations. Our ability to successfully address these challenges is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 titled “Risk Factors.”

 

 

 

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue has historically been generated through grants from government and other (non-government) organizations. We currently have no commercially-approved products.

 

Grant revenue is recognized for the period that the research and development services occur, as qualifying expenses are incurred or conditions of the grants are met. We concluded that payments received under these grants represent conditional, nonreciprocal contributions, as described in ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, and that the grants are not within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the organizations providing the grants do not meet the definition of a customer. Expenses for grants are tracked by using a project code specific to the grant, and the employees also track hours worked by using the project code.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we worked on the following grants:

Operating Expenses

 

Research and Development Expenses.

 

Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies and materials for employees and contractors engaged in research and product development, licensing fees to use certain technology in our research and development projects, fees paid to consultants and various entities that perform certain research and testing on our behalf. Research and development expenses are tracked by target/project code. Indirect general and administrative costs are allocated based upon a percentage of direct costs. We expense all research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Research and development activities consist of discovery research for our platform development and the various indications we are working on. We have not historically tracked our research and development expenses on a product candidate-by-product candidate basis.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we had contracts with multiple contract research organizations (“CRO”) to conduct and complete clinical studies. In the case of SAB-185, the CRO has been contracted and paid by the US government. For SAB-176, PPD Development, LP, acting as CRO oversaw the Phase 1 safety study. The terms of that agreement are subject to confidentiality, and the status of the agreement is that it is current, in good standing and approximately 91% of the contract has been paid through September 30, 2021. SAB has also contracted with hVIVO Services Limited to conduct the Phase 2a influenza study on SAB-176. The terms of that agreement are subject to confidentiality, and the status of the agreement is that it is current, in good standing and approximately 90% of the contract has been paid through September 30, 2021.

 

We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expenses as we conduct discovery research to enhance our platform and work on our indications. We expect to hire additional employees and continue research and development and manufacturing activities. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in future periods and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

 

 

 

 

Major components within our research and development expenses are salaries and benefits (laboratory & farm), laboratory supplies, animal care, contract manufacturing, clinical trial expense, outside laboratory services, project consulting, and facility expense. Our platform allows us to work on multiple projects with the same resources, as the research and development process of each product is very similar (with minimal differences in the manufacturing process). Research and development expenses by component for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

  

Nine Months Ended

Total Research and development expenses  $46,535,671   $12,601,333   $27,908,659   $8,019,705 

 

General and Administrative Expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation costs for employees in our executive, accounting and finance, project management, corporate development, office administration, legal and human resources functions as well as professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses. General and administrative expenses also include rent and facilities expenses allocated based upon total direct costs. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in future periods, primarily due to increased headcount to support anticipated growth in the business and due to incremental costs associated with operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a securities exchange and costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, public relations, insurance and professional services. We expect these expenses to vary from period to period in absolute terms and as a percentage of revenue.

 

Other (Income) Expense

 

Other Income.

 

Other income consists of other items such as the forgiveness of the PPP Loan, plus accrued interest.

 

Interest Income.

 

Interest income consists of interest earned on cash balances in our bank accounts.

 

Interest Expense.

 

Interest expense consists primarily of interest related to borrowings under notes payable for equipment.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenue

 

   Year Ended December 31,         
   2020   2019   Change   % Change 
Revenue  $55,237,759   $3,441,807   $51,795,952    1,504.9%
Total revenue  $55,237,759   $3,441,807           

 

Revenue increased by $51.8 million, or 1,504.9%, in 2020, primarily due to an increase in government grants.

   2020   2019   Change   % Change 
Interest expense  $469,151   $428,476   $40,675    9.5%
Total interest expense  $469,151   $428,476           

 

Interest expense increased by less than $0.1 million in 2020, or 9.5%, due to the addition of two finance leases for laboratory equipment in March 2019.

Interest income  $26,131   $113,133   $(87,002)   (76.9)%
Total interest income  $26,131   $113,133           

 

Interest income decreased by less than $0.1 million, or 76.9%, in 2020, primarily due to lower average cash balances, lower interest rates, and higher bank fees.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $10.8 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. To date, we have primarily relied on grant revenue in the form of government grants and the sale of preferred stock.

 

Our standard repayment terms for accounts receivable are thirty days from the invoice date. As a majority of our accounts receivable is from work performed under government grants, we have not had an uncollectible accounts receivable amount in over 5 years. As of September 30, 2021, we have received approximately $39.6 million of the $49.8 million in revenue recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

We intend to continue to invest in our business and, as a result, may incur operating losses in future periods. We expect to continue to invest in research and development efforts towards expanding our capabilities and expertise along our platform and the indications we are working on, as well as building our business development team and marketing our solutions to partners in support of the growth of the business. Based on our current business plan, we believe the net proceeds from the Merger, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months.

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to our ability to successfully secure additional government grants and to secure contracts with new partners for the successful development and commercialization of our products. If we are unable to execute on our business plan and adequately fund operations, or if the business plan requires a level of spending in excess of cash resources, we may be required to negotiate partnerships in which we receive greater near-term payments at the expense of potential downstream revenue. Alternatively, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, selling or licensing our assets, making product acquisitions, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be adversely affected.

 

 

 

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily from revenue in the form of government grants and from equity financings.

 

 

Equity Financings and Option Exercises

 

As of September 30, 2021, we have raised approximately $48.2 million since our inception from the issuance and sale of convertible preferred shares, net of issuance costs associated with such financings, and exercises of employee stock options.

 

Debt

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a debt balance of $49,156 and $710,768, respectively.

 

Note payable, related party

 

On February 24, 2016, we entered into a loan agreement with Christiansen Land and Cattle, Ltd., a related party, for a $3.0 million revolving line of credit secured by a blanket security interest in our assets.

 

We borrowed $2.5 million from the line of credit in 2016, and $350,000 in 2017. The line of credit had a fixed rate per annum of 6% compounded annually. The initial agreement was based upon repayment following a significant capital event – closing of equity or debt financing with total proceeds to us of $15 million or more or one year from the agreement date, whichever occurred first. The agreement was amended in August 2018 to extend the repayment timeframe to August 31, 2019. The first payment to repay this loan was made on August 31, 2018 ($1.0 million payment). Additional voluntary payments were being made at the rate of $30,000 per month. In August 2019, the agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to the earlier of August 31, 2020 or the occurrence of a significant capital event. The note payable balance as of December 31, 2019 was $1,364,644, which included accrued interest of $3,580. In July 2020, the note payable was paid in full and the line of credit was terminated.

 

Notes payable

 

On November 15, 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with a bank, for the financing of an ultrasound machine for $18,997. The agreement was for a four-year term, with monthly payments of $440. The note payable had a balance as of December 31, 2019 of $9,203 and was paid off in full in September 2020.

 

In December 2017, we entered into two loan agreements with a financial institution. One agreement was for the purchase of a tractor for $116,661 at a 3.6% interest rate, and a second agreement for the purchase of a trailer, truck, scale, and chute for $47,721 at a 5.9% interest rate. The loan for the tractor included annual payments of $25,913 for the next five years starting in December 2018. The loan for the trailer, truck, scale, and chute included monthly payments of $920 for five years starting in January 2018 through December 2022. During 2019, the trailer, truck, scale, and chute loan was paid in full. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the tractor loan balance was $49,156.

 

 

 

 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). In April 2020, we entered into the PPP Loan with First Premier Bank under the PPP, which is part of the CARES Act administered by the SBA. As part of the application for these funds, we, in good faith, certified that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support our ongoing operations. The certification further requires us to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. Under the PPP, we received proceeds of approximately $661,612. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, we utilized the proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs. The PPP Loan has a 1.00% interest rate per annum, matures in April 2022 and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP. Under the terms of PPP, all or certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses, as described in the CARES Act. We recorded the entire amount of the PPP Loan as debt. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, monthly payments of principal and interest were due to commence November 1, 2020, however, the SBA is deferring loan payments for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness until the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender. No payments were made in 2020 and, as of December 31, 2020, the PPP Loan balance was $661,612. An application for forgiveness of the PPP Loan was completed in February 2021. In March 2021, the SBA approved the forgiveness of the PPP Loan, plus accrued interest. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of PPP Loan of $661,612 for the forgiveness of the PPP Loan within other income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Please refer to the audited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021, for additional information on our debt.

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third parties, including CROs. These payments are not included in the table above, as the amount and timing of such payments are not known.

 

As of September 30, 2021, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our commitments and contractual obligations.

 

Income Taxes

 

We had $12.7 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Our carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the appropriate taxing authorities. These carryforwards may generally be utilized in any future period but may be subject to limitations based upon changes in the ownership of our shares in a prior or future period. We have not quantified the amount of such limitations, if any.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have, for the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

 

 

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or personnel, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. The PCAOB defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

 

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

We received approximately 96% and 85% of our total revenue through grants from government organizations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately 100% and 92% of our total revenue through grants from government organizations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We received approximately 4% and 12% of our total revenue through a grant from a non-government organization for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately 0% and 8% of our total revenue through a grant from a non-government organization for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. To date, no receivables have been written off.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a cash balance of $10.8 million and $12.6 million, respectively, all of which was maintained in bank accounts and money market funds in the U.S. Our primary exposure to market risk is to interest income volatility, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates. As such rates are at a near record low, a 10% change in the market interest rates would not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We conduct our business in U.S. dollars and, thus, are not exposed to financial risks from exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and other currencies.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our revenue is primarily generated through grants from government and other (non-government) organizations.

 

Grant revenue is recognized for the period that the research and development services occur, as qualifying expenses are incurred or conditions of the grants are met. We concluded that payments received under these grants represent conditional, nonreciprocal contributions, as described in ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities, and that the grants are not within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the organizations providing the grants do not meet the definition of a customer. Expenses for grants are tracked by using a project code specific to the grant, and the employees also track hours worked by using the project code.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We recognize compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions using a fair-value measurement method, which requires all stock-based payments to employees, directors, and non-employee consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. We hired an independent third-party valuation firm, beginning in 2017, to determine the fair value of our common stock, which we then used to determine the fair value of our stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The method incorporates various assumptions, such as the value of the underlying common stock, the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of the options. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, we estimate the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. No awards may have a term in excess of ten years. Forfeitures are recorded when they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is classified in our consolidated statements of operations based on the function to which the related services are provided. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the expected term.

 

In addition to considering the results of the independent third-party valuations, our board of directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common shares as of each grant date, which may be a date other than the most recent independent third-party valuation date, including:

 

  the prices at which we most-recently sold preferred shares and the superior rights and preferences of the preferred shares relative to our common shares at the time of each grant;
     
  the lack of liquidity of our equity as a private company;
     
  our stage of development and business strategy and the material risks related to our business and industry;
     
  our financial condition and operating results, including our levels of available capital resources and forecasted results;
     
  developments in our business, including the achievement of milestones such as entering into partnering agreements;
     
  the valuation of publicly traded companies in the life sciences, biopharmaceutical and healthcare technology sectors, as well as recently completed mergers and acquisitions of peer companies;
     
  any external market conditions affecting our industry, and trends within our industry;
     
  the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the holders of our preferred shares and holders of our common shares, such as an initial public offering, or IPO, or a sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions; and
     
  the analysis of IPOs and the market performance of similar companies in our industry.

 

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes change and we use significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common shares and our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different.

 

 

 

 

Following the completion of the merger, the fair value of our common shares will be determined based on the quoted market price of our common shares.

 

See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements and Note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021, for information concerning certain specific assumptions we used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of our stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Stock-based compensation expense was $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.7 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we had $4.2 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested options, which we expect to recognize in future operating results over a weighted-average period of 2.34 years.

 

Common Stock Valuations

 

We are required to periodically estimate the fair value of our common stock with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, as discussed above, when issuing stock options and computing our estimated stock-based compensation expense. The assumptions underlying these valuations represented our best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of significant levels of our judgment.

 

In order to determine the fair value of our common stock, we considered, among other items, previous transactions involving the sale of our securities, our business, financial condition and results of operations, economic and industry trends, the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies, and the lack of marketability of our common stock.

 

Lease Liabilities and Right-of Use Assets

 

We are party to certain contractual arrangements for equipment, lab space, and an animal facility, which meet the definition of leases under ASC 842. In accordance with ASC 842, we have, as of January 1, 2018 (the date of adoption), recorded right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms. We utilized the practical expedient regarding lease and non-lease components and have combined such items into a single combined component. Our incremental borrowing rate was used in the calculation of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 3 to our audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021.

 

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and worldwide. As with many companies around the world, our day-to-day operations were disrupted with the imposition of work from home policies and requirements for physical distancing for any personnel present in our offices and laboratories. The pandemic has also disrupted our activities as shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures have impacted our ability to interact with our existing and potential partners for our activities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic did not materially impact our business, operating results or financial condition, and is not F/S say that it is uncertain about the future. There is significant uncertainty as to the trajectory of the pandemic and its impacts on our business in the future. We could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises. Such crises could adversely impact our ability to conduct on-site laboratory activities, expand our laboratory facilities, secure critical supplies such as reagents, laboratory tools or immunized animals required for discovery research activities, and hire and retain key personnel. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent the further spread, among others. Accordingly, we cannot predict the extent to which our business, financial condition and results of operations will be affected. We remain focused on maintaining our operations, liquidity and financial flexibility and continue to monitor developments as we deal with the disruptions and uncertainties from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

 

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are not otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021;
     
  not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
     
  not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis);
     
  reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation arrangements; and
     
  exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We may use these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering occurs. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion, or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.

 

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which the proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

 

The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that we are no longer an emerging growth company or affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the exemption provided by Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

Basis of Presentation and Background

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the separate historical financial statements of SAB Biotherapeutics and BCYP after giving effect to the Business Combination, including pro forma assumptions and adjustments related to the merger, as described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, is presented as if the merger had occurred on September 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020, gives effect to the merger, as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. The historical financial information has been adjusted on a pro forma basis to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the merger and, with respect to the statement of operations only, expected to have a continuing impact on consolidated results of operations.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of operations does not include the effects of the costs associated with any integration or restructuring activities resulting from the merger, as they are nonrecurring in nature. However, the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet includes a pro forma adjustment to reduce cash and shareholders’ equity to reflect the payment of certain anticipated merger costs.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of BCYP and SAB Biotherapeutics, adjusted to give effect to the Merger and other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, combines the unaudited adjusted balance sheet of BCYP with the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of SAB Biotherapeutics on a pro forma basis as if the Merger and the other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, summarized below, had been consummated on September 30, 2021.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, combines the historical unaudited statement of operations of BCYP with the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of SAB Biotherapeutics for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical audited statement of operations of BCYP for the period from November 12, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 with the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of SAB Biotherapeutics for the year ended December 31, 2020, giving effect to the transaction as if the Merger and other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement had been consummated on January 1, 2020.

 

 

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with:

 

 

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information

  the historical unaudited financial statements of BCYP as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
  the historical audited financial statements of BCYP for the period from November 12, 2020 (Inception) though December 31, 2020, incorporated by reference in this form 8-K/A,
  the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of SAB Biotherapeutics as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this form 8-K/A,
  the historical audited consolidated financial statements of SAB Biotherapeutics as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, incorporated by reference in this 8-K/A, and
  other information relating to BCYP and SAB Biotherapeutics included the Business Combination Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth thereof and the financial and operational condition of BCYP and SAB Biotherapeutics (see “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Agreement,” “BCYP’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “SAB Biotherapeutics Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Proxy Statement, and as included in this Form 8-K/A or incorporated by reference.

 

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that BCYP believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. BCYP believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of BCYP and SAB Biotherapeutics.

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated June 21, 2021, and as amended on August 12, 2021, between BCYP and SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. the Business Combination was consummated on October 22, 2021. Upon closing of the Business combination, Big Cypress Merger Sub merged with SAB Biotherapeutics, with SAB Biotherapeutics as the surviving company of the Merger. Upon closing of the Business Combination, Big Cypress Acquisition Corp. changed its name to “SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc.”. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse merger in which SAB Biotherapeutics issued stock for the net assets of BCYP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of BCYP are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded upon closing. Historical operations will be those of SAB Biotherapeutics Inc.

 

The aggregate consideration paid to SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. upon the closing of the Merger was 36,465,343 shares of New SAB Biotherapeutics common stock. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein incorporates the results of BCYP’s shareholders having elected to redeem 8,030,289 shares of their Public Shares for $81,111,920 in cash based upon actual redemptions.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, are as follows:

 

  (A) Reflects the reclassification of marketable securities held in the BCYP Trust Account to cash, restricted cash held in escrow related to a put option on the New SAB Biotherapeutics’ shares and the reclassification of common stock to permanent equity based on actual redemptions.
  (B) Represents preliminary estimated direct and incremental transaction costs to be incurred. These costs are accounted as a reduction in the combined cash account with a corresponding reduction in APIC consistent with the treatment described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.A.
  (C) Reflects the settlement of the deferred underwriting fee.
  (D) Represents recapitalization of BCYP’s historical accumulated deficit.
  (E) Represents recapitalization of historical amounts.
  (F) Represents the potential earnout SAB shareholders could receive in the merged company under the Merger Agreement. Since the earnout is accounted for as an equity transaction, there is no change in equity as the entry would be to deemed dividends and APIC.
  (G) Issuance of Company shares in lieu of cash for professional services related to the transaction

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

 

The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP because SAB Biotherapeutics has been determined to be the accounting acquirer under ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, BCYP will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of SAB Biotherapeutics will become the historical financial statements of New SAB Biotherapeutics, and BCYP’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with SAB Biotherapeutics beginning on the acquisition date. For accounting purposes, the financial statements of New SAB Biotherapeutics will represent a continuation of the financial statements of SAB Biotherapeutics with the Transaction being treated as the equivalent of SAB Biotherapeutics issuing stock for the net assets of BCYP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of BCYP will be stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger will be presented as those of SAB Biotherapeutics in future reports of New SAB Biotherapeutics.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects all BCYP’s public shareholders that exercised redemption rights with respect to their public shares. A total of 8,030,289 shares were redeemed for an aggregate redemption value of $81,111,920. The resulting redemptions will provide SAB Biotherapeutics with cash at closing of the Business Combination of greater than the $5,000,001 Net Tangible Asset value Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

2. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an illustrative understanding of New SAB Biotherapeutics upon consummation of the Merger in accordance with GAAP. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes.

 

The Merger Agreement includes an earnout provision whereby the shareholders of SAB Biotherapeutics shall be entitled to receive additional consideration (“Earnout Shares”) if the Company meets certain Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP) thresholds, or a change in control with a per share price exceeding the VWAP thresholds within a five-year period immediately following the Closing, which will be held in escrow until the Earnout contingency is resolved.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Merger occurred on the dates indicated, and does not reflect adjustments for any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings. Any cash proceeds remaining after the consummation of the Merger and the other related events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of New SAB Biotherapeutics following the completion of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. BCYP and SAB Biotherapeutics have not had any historical relationship prior to the transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The following summarizes the pro forma shares of New SAB Biotherapeutics Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Merger:

 

(Number of shares in thousands)

 

   Shares (1)   % 
SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc and Subsidiaries Shareholders   36,465    83.9%
Total SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc and Subsidiaries Merger Shares   36,465    83.9%

Total Big Cypress Acquisition Corp Shares   6,672    15.6%
Other   248    0.6%
Total Other   248    0.6%
Pro Forma Common Stock at September 30, 2021   43,475    100.0%

 

(1) the table does not include 5.750 million of Public Warrants, 0.2 million of the Private Placement Warrants, 0.6 million of Sponsor Shares subject to vesting and forfeiture, and options to acquire shares of Common Stock under equity plans following the Merger.

 

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, then the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will be different and those changes could be material.

 

 

 

 

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Merger occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of BCYP following the completion of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent BCYP management’s estimates based on information available as of the dates of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

 

The pro forma basic and diluted income per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of the Combined Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

3. Income (loss) per share

 

Represents the income per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination and related equity transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entirety of all periods presented.
