1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Amyris, Inc. (Amyris or the Company) is a leading industrial biotechnology company that applies its technology platform to engineer, manufacture and sell high performance, natural, sustainably-sourced products into the Health & Wellness, Clean Beauty, and Flavor & Fragrance markets. The Company's proven technology platform enables the Company to rapidly engineer microbes and use them as catalysts to metabolize renewable, plant-sourced sugars into large volume, high-value ingredients. The Company's biotechnology platform and industrial fermentation process replace existing complex and expensive manufacturing processes. The Company has successfully used its technology to develop and produce several distinct molecules at commercial volumes.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Amyris, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the 2018 Form 10-K/A), from which the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 is derived. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and expects to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operations for at least the next 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had negative working capital of $199.4 million (compared to negative working capital of $119.5 million as of December 31, 2018), and an accumulated deficit of $1.6 billion.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's debt (including related party debt), net of debt discount of $13.5 million, totaled $215.8 million, of which $153.8 million is classified as current. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company entered into arrangements with lenders to extend maturities and convert certain debt obligations into common stock; see Note 12, "Subsequent Events" for more information. The Company's debt service obligations through March 31, 2020 are $179.8 million, including $23.5 million of anticipated cash interest payments. The Company's debt agreements contain various covenants, including certain restrictions on the Company's business that could cause the Company to be at risk of defaults, such as restrictions on additional indebtedness and cross-default clauses. A failure to comply with, or cure non-compliance events or obtain waivers for covenant violations, and other provisions of the Company’s debt instruments, including any failure to make a payment when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could permit acceleration of such indebtedness. If such indebtedness is accelerated, it would generally also constitute an event of default under the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness, permitting acceleration of a substantial portion of the Company's outstanding indebtedness.

Cash and cash equivalents of $5.2 million as of March 31, 2019 are not sufficient to fund expected future negative cash flows from operations and cash debt service obligations through March 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern will depend, in large part, on its ability to extend existing debt maturities by restructuring a majority of its convertible debt, which is uncertain and outside the control of the Company. Further, the Company's operating plan for the twelve months ending March 31, 2020 contemplates a significant reduction in its net operating cash outflows as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, resulting from (i) revenue growth from sales of existing and new products with positive gross margins, (ii) significantly increased cash inflows from grants and collaborations, and (iii) reduced production costs as a result of manufacturing and technical developments. If the Company is unable to complete these actions, it expects to be unable to meet its operating cash flow needs and its obligations under its existing debt facilities. This could result in an acceleration of its obligation to repay all amounts outstanding under those facilities, and it may be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not occur timely or on reasonable terms, if at all, and/or liquidate its assets. In such a scenario, the value the Company receives for its assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the value reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

On September 16, 2019, the Company failed to pay an aggregate of $63.6 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Second Exchange Note when due. The failure resulted in an event of default under the Second Exchange Note and also triggered cross-defaults under other debt instruments of the Company which permitted the holders of such indebtedness to accelerate the amounts owing under such instruments. The Company subsequently received waivers from substantially all holders of such other debt instruments to waive the right to accelerate. As a result, the indebtedness with respect to which the Company has obtained such waivers continues to be classified as long-term on the Company’s balance sheet.  The indebtedness reflected by the Second Exchange Note continues to be classified as a current liability on the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, as a result of the payment default, the conversion price of the Second Exchange Note is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Second Exchange Note.

The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to repay the amounts outstanding under the Second Exchange Note. To date, negotiations with the holder of the Second Exchange Note have not been successful, and there can be no assurance that a favorable outcome for the Company will be reached. The Company has executed a term sheet with an existing investor for a term loan, the proceeds of which would be used to repay a portion of the Second Exchange Note. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on its expected timeline, or on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if the Company does obtain such financing, it will not have sufficient funds to repay the Second Exchange Note in full without obtaining additional financing, which the Company is attempting to source. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Form 10-K/A includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2019, except for the Company's adoption of these accounting standards on January 1, 2019:

•      Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842 (ASC 842), Leases; and

•      Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of renewable products, licenses of and royalties from intellectual property, and grants and collaborative research and development services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company generally does not incur costs to obtain new contracts. The costs to fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment to perform from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. Changes to contracts are assessed for whether they represent a modification or should be accounted for as a new contract. The Company considers the following indicators among others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If a transaction does not meet the Company's indicators of being a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

The Company’s significant contracts and contractual terms with its customers are presented in Note 10, "Revenue Recognition" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2018 Form 10-K/A.

The Company recognizes revenue when control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s renewable products are delivered to customers from the Company’s facilities with shipping terms typically specifying F.O.B. shipping point.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company's contracts may contain multiple performance obligations if a promise to transfer the individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is considered distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price of each performance obligation and allocates the total transaction price using the relative selling price basis.

The following is a description of the principal goods and services from which the Company generates revenue.

Renewable Product Sales

Revenues from renewable product sales are recognized as a distinct performance obligation on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, with the selling price to the customer recorded net of discounts and allowances. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when control has passed to the customer, which typically is upon the renewable products leaving the Company’s facilities with the first transportation carrier. The Company, on occasion, may recognize revenue under a bill and hold arrangement, whereby the customer requests and agrees to purchase product but requests delivery at a later date. Under these arrangements, control transfers to the customer when the product is ready for delivery, which occurs when the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for shipment to the customer in its current form, and the Company does not have the ability to direct the product to a different customer. It is at this point that the Company has the right to payment, the customer obtains legal title, and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s renewable product sales do not include rights of return. Returns are accepted only if the product does not meet product specifications and such nonconformity is communicated to the Company within a set number of days of delivery. The Company offers a two-year assurance-type warranty to replace squalane products that do not meet Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company’s trade terms. An estimate of the cost to replace the squalane products sold is made based on a historical rate of experience and recognized as a liability and related expense when the renewable product sale is consummated.

Licenses and Royalties

Licensing of Intellectual Property: When the Company’s intellectual property licenses are determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, revenue is recognized from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license at a point in time when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For intellectual property licenses that are combined with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front-fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognized.

Royalties from Licensing of Intellectual Property: The Company earns royalties from the licensing of its intellectual property whereby the licensee uses the intellectual property to produce and sell its products to its customers and the Company shares in the profits.

When the Company’s intellectual property license is the only performance obligation, or it is the predominant performance obligation in arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company applies the sales-based royalty exception and revenue is estimated and recognized at a point in time when the licensee’s product sales occur. Estimates of sales-based royalty revenues are made using the most likely amount method, which is the single amount in a range of possible amounts derived from the licensee’s historical sales volumes and sales prices of its products and recent commodity market pricing data and trends.

When the Company’s intellectual property license is not the predominant performance obligation in arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the royalty represents variable consideration and is allocated to the transaction price of the predominant performance obligation which generally is the supply of renewable products to the Company's customers. Revenue is estimated and recognized at a point in time when the renewable products are delivered to the customer. Estimates of the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price are made using the expected value method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible amounts determined based on the cost to produce the renewable product plus a reasonable margin for the profit share. The Company only includes an amount of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Also, the transaction price is reduced for estimates of customer incentive payments payable by the Company for certain customer contracts.

Grants and Collaborative Research and Development Services

Collaborative Research and Development Services: The Company earns revenues from collaboration agreements with customers to perform research and development services to develop new molecules using the Company’s technology and to scale production of the molecules for commercialization and use in the collaborator’s products. The collaboration agreements generally include providing the Company's collaborators with research and development services and with licenses to the Company’s intellectual property to use the technology underlying the development of the molecules and to sell its products that incorporate the technology. The terms of the Company's collaboration agreements typically include one or more of the following: advance payments for the research and development services that will be performed, nonrefundable upfront license payments, milestone payments to be received upon the achievement of the milestone events defined in the agreements, and royalty payments upon the commercialization of the molecules in which the Company shares in the customer’s profits.

Collaboration agreements are evaluated at inception to determine whether the intellectual property licenses represent distinct performance obligations separate from the research and development services. If the licenses are determined to be distinct, the non-refundable upfront license fee is recognized as revenue at a point in time when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license while the research and development service fees are recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. The research and development service fees represent variable consideration. Estimates of the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price are made using the expected value method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible amounts. The Company only includes an amount of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Revenue is recognized over time using either an input-based measure of labor hours expended or a time-based measure of progress towards the satisfaction of the performance obligations. The measure of progress is evaluated each reporting period and, if necessary, adjustments are made to the measure of progress and the related revenue recognized.

Collaboration agreements that include milestone payments are evaluated at inception to determine whether the milestone events are considered probable of achievement and estimates are made of the amount of the milestone payments to include in the transaction price using the most likely amount method which is the single amount in a range of possible amounts. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur, the estimated milestone payment amount is included in the transaction price. Each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of the milestone events and any related constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative basis, which would affect collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment. Generally, revenue is recognized using an input-based measure of progress towards the satisfaction of the performance obligations which can be labor hours expended or time-based in proportion to the estimated total project effort or total projected time to complete. The measure of progress is evaluated each reporting period and, if necessary, adjustments are made to the measure of progress and the related revenue recognized. Certain performance obligations are associated with milestones agreed between the Company and its customer. Revenue generated from the performance of services in accordance with the milestones in these agreements is recognized upon confirmation from the customer that the milestone has been achieved. In these cases, amounts recognized are constrained to the amount of consideration received upon achievement of the milestone.

The Company generally invoices its collaborators on a monthly or quarterly basis, or upon the completion of the effort or achievement of a milestone, based on the terms of each agreement. Contract liability arises from amounts received in advance of performing the research and development activities and is recognized as revenue in future periods as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Grants: The Company earns revenues from grants with government agencies to, among other things, provide research and development services to develop molecules using the Company’s technology, and create research and development tools to improve the timeline and predictability for scaling molecules from proof of concept to market by reducing time and costs. Grants typically consist of research and development milestone payments to be received upon the achievement of the milestone events defined in the agreements.

The milestone payments are evaluated at inception to determine whether the milestone events are considered probable of achievement and estimates are made of the amount of the milestone payments to include in the transaction price using the most likely amount method which is the single amount in a range of possible amounts. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur, the estimated milestone payment amount is included in the transaction price. Each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of the milestone events and any related constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative basis, which would affect collaboration revenues in the period of adjustment. Revenue is recognized over time using a time-based measure of progress towards the satisfaction of the performance obligations. The measure of progress is evaluated each reporting period and, if necessary, adjustments are made to the measure of progress and the related revenue recognized.

Accounting Standards or Updates Recently Adopted

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company adopted these accounting standards or updates:

Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires the recognition of lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet arising from lease transactions at the lease commencement date and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional transition method in which the lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings without adjustment to comparative periods (collectively Topic 842). The amendment has the same effective date and transition requirements as the lease standard.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the package of practical expedients permitted under transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carry forward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs, where applicable. The Company did not elect the practical expedient allowing the use-of-hindsight which would require the Company to reassess the lease term of its leases based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date and did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as this is not applicable to the Company’s current contracts. The Company elected the post-transition practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all leases of manufacturing equipment. The Company also elected a policy of not recording leases on its condensed consolidated balance sheets when the leases have a term of 12 months or less and the Company is not reasonably certain to elect an option to purchase the leased asset.

The adoption of this standard had the effect of increasing assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by $25.7 million, but did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.  The most significant impact relates to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about leasing activities.

Upon adoption, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities of $33.6 million, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. The Company also recognized ROU assets of $29.7 million, which represents the operating lease liability, adjusted for prepaid expenses and deferred rent. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities reflects the net of advanced rent payments and deferred rent balances that were derecognized at the time of adoption.

Financial Instruments with "Down Round" Features In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. The amendments of this ASU update the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments, or embedded features, with down round features, as well as clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The accounting standard update became effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and the Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach. Since the adoption of ASU 2017-11 would have classified the warrants effected as equity at inception, the cumulative-effect adjustment should (i) record the issuance date value of the warrants as if they had been equity classified at the issuance date, (ii) reverse the effects of changes in the fair value of the warrants that had been recorded in the statement of operations of each period, and (iii) eliminate the derivative liabilities from the balance sheet. Upon adoption, the Company (i) recorded an increase of $32.5 million to additional paid-in capital, (ii) recorded a decrease to accumulated deficit of $8.5 million and (iii) decreased the warrant liability by $41.0 million.

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. The accounting standard update will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, with removed and modified disclosures to be adopted on a retrospective basis, and new disclosures to be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact of the standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Collaborative Revenue Arrangements In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, that clarifies the interaction between the guidance for certain collaborative arrangements and Topic 606, the new revenue recognition standard. A collaborative arrangement is a contractual arrangement under which two or more parties actively participate in a joint operating activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that depend on the activity’s commercial success. The ASU provides guidance on how to assess whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for within the revenue recognition standard. The accounting standard update will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 retroactively. The Company does not believe that the impact of the new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements will be material.

Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity's portfolio. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company does not believe that the impact of the new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements will be material.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Balance Sheet Details

Inventories

Deferred cost of products sold - related party

In November 2018, the Company amended the supply agreement with DSM to secure capacity at the Brotas 1 facility for sweetener production through 2022. See Note 10, “Revenue Recognition” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2018 Form 10-K/A for information regarding the November 2018 Supply Agreement Amendment. The supply agreement was included as an element of a combined transaction with DSM, which resulted in a fair value allocation of $24.4 million to the manufacturing capacity fees, of which $3.3 million was recorded as deferred cost of products sold at December 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid an additional $7.3 million of reservation capacity fees, which was recorded as additional deferred cost of products sold. The remaining $13.8 million capacity fees will be recorded as deferred cost of products sold in the period the additional payments are made to DSM. The deferred cost of products sold asset is expensed to cost of products sold on a units of production basis as the Company's sweetener product is sold over the five-year term of the supply agreement. Each quarter, the Company evaluates its future production volumes and adjusts the unit cost to be expensed over the remaining estimated production volume. Due to the Company's commercial launch of the product in December 2018, amortization of the deferred cost of products sold asset has been insignificant through March 31, 2019. The deferred cost of products sold asset is evaluated for recoverability at each period end.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company capitalized $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of internal labor costs required to automate, integrate and ready certain laboratory and plant equipment for its intended use.

Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of assets under financing leases, was $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Leases

Operating Leases

The Company has entered into operating leases primarily for administrative offices, laboratory equipment and other facilities. The operating leases have remaining terms that range from 1 year to 5 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The operating leases are classified as Right-of-use (ROU) assets under operating leases on the Company's March 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make operating lease payments is included in "Lease liabilities" and "Lease liabilities, net of current portion" on the Company's March 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company's existing leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $29.7 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of $33.6 million on January 1, 2019. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of March 31, 2019, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were $27.6 million and $29.7 million, respectively. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded $2.8 million of operating lease amortization that was charged to expense, and $1.8 million of operating lease amortization for certain contract manufacturing arrangements that was capitalized to inventory.

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate and marketing which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

Information related to the Company's right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were as follows:

(1) Includes $29.7 million for operating leases existing on January 1, 2019 and $0.8 million for operating leases that commenced in the first quarter of 2019.

Financing Leases

The Company has entered into financing leases primarily for laboratory and computer equipment. Assets purchased under financing leases are included in "Property, plant and equipment, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For financing leases, the associated assets are depreciated or amortized over the shorter of the relevant useful life of each asset or the lease term. Property, plant and equipment, net included $5.3 million and $5.0 million of machinery and equipment under financing leases as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Accumulated amortization of assets under financing leases totaled $2.5 million and $2.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Maturities of Financing and Operating Leases

Maturities of lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019 were as follows:

Other Assets

Accrued and Other Current Liabilities

Other noncurrent liabilities

⁽¹⁾     Deferred rent at December 31, 2018 was reclassified to ROU asset upon the adoption on January 1, 2019 of ASC 842, "Leases".

3. Fair Value Measurement

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables summarize assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and the respective fair value by input classification level within the fair value hierarchy:

There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented.

6% Convertible Notes Due 2021

The Company issued $60.0 million of 6% Convertible Notes Due 2021 on December 10, 2018 and elected the fair value option of accounting for this instrument. At March 31, 2019, outstanding principal was $60.0 million, and the fair value was $60.0 million, which was measured using a binomial lattice model and assuming a 23.8% discount yield, 45% equity volatility, 50% / 50% probability of principal repayment in cash / stock, and 5% probability of change in control. See Note 4, “Debt” for further information related to this debt instrument. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a $2.1 million loss from change in fair value of debt in connection with the 6% Convertible Notes Due 2021, as follows:

Derivative Liabilities Recognized in Connection with the Issuance of Debt and Equity Instruments

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Company's derivative liabilities recognized in connection with the issuance of debt and equity instruments, measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

As of March 31, 2019, the remaining derivative liabilities are in connection with the November 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement with DSM. See Note 10, “Revenue Recognition” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2018 10-K/A. This make-whole provision is effectively marked to market through the condensed consolidated statements of operations, based on the Company’s closing stock price at each reporting period until converted into common stock or cash settled. The fair value of these instruments is directly affected by the volatility of the Company’s stock price between each reporting period or conversion date, if settled during the reporting period.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Carrying Value

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities and low market interest rates, if applicable. Loans payable, credit facilities and convertible notes are recorded at carrying value (except for the 6% Convertible Notes Due 2021, which are recorded at fair value), which is representative of fair value at the date of acquisition. For loans payable and credit facilities recorded at carrying value, the Company estimates fair value using observable market-based inputs (Level 2); for convertible notes, the Company estimates fair value based on rates currently offered for instruments with similar maturities and terms (Level 3). The carrying amount (the total amount of net debt presented on the balance sheet) of the Company's debt at March 31, 2019, excluding the 6% Convertible Notes that the Company records at fair value, was $155.8 million. The fair value of such debt at March 31, 2019 was $155.8 million, and was determined by (i) discounting expected cash flows using current market discount rates estimated for certain of the debt instruments and (ii) using third-party fair value estimates for the remaining debt instruments.

4. Debt

Net carrying amounts of debt are as follows:

The 6% convertible notes due 2021 have been classified as current in the March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 balance sheets, due to certain events subsequent to March 31, 2019 but prior to the issuance of the March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 financial statements. See Note 12, "Subsequent Events" for additional information.

On January 14, 2019, Wolverine Flagship Fund Trading Limited (Wolverine) agreed to waive payment of the August 2013 Financing Convertible Note held by Wolverine at its January 15, 2019 maturity until July 15, 2019 in exchange for a fee, payable on or prior to July 15, 2019, of $0.6 million. The Company concluded that the term extension represented a debt modification, and the fee was accounted for as additional debt discount to be amortized over the remaining term. Effective July 15, 2019, the due date of the waiver fee was extended to October 13, 2019 and will bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per month, compounded, from July 16, 2019 to the date of payment. See Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for additional information.

Future Minimum Payments

Future minimum payments under the Company's debt agreements as of March 31, 2019 are as follows:

5. Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine equity is comprised of the following:

Mezzanine equity at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is comprised of proceeds from shares of common stock sold on May 10, 2016 to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Gates Foundation). In connection with the stock sale, the Company and the Gates Foundation entered into an agreement under which the Company agreed to expend an aggregate amount not less than the proceeds from the stock sale to develop a yeast strain that produces artemisinic acid and/or amorphadiene at a low cost and to supply such artemisinic acid and amorphadiene to companies qualified to convert artemisinic acid and amorphadiene to artemisinin for inclusion in artemisinin combination therapies used to treat malaria. If the Company defaults in its obligation to use the proceeds from the stock sale as set forth above or defaults under certain other commitments in the agreement, the Gates Foundation will have the right to request that the Company redeem, or facilitate the purchase by a third party, the shares then held by the Gates Foundation at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the redemption or purchase, as applicable, or (ii) an amount equal to $17.10 plus a compounded annual return of 10%.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's remaining research and development obligation under this arrangement was $0.6 million.

6. Stockholders' Deficit

Warrants

In connection with various debt and equity transactions (see Note 5, "Debt" and Note 7, “Stockholders’ Deficit” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2018 Form 10-K/A), the Company has issued warrants exercisable for shares of common stock. The following table summarizes warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, 479,751 shares of common stock were issued under certain anti-dilution warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 and resulted in no proceeds to the Company. The shares were exercised through net share settlement, resulting in the issuance of 450,568 shares.

7. Loss Per Share

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, basic loss per share was the same as diluted loss per share, because the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was antidilutive.

The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights if the participating security contractually participates in losses. The Company’s convertible preferred stock are participating securities as they contractually entitle the holders of such shares to participate in dividends and contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share:

The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share of common stock because including them would have been antidilutive:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company has levied indirect taxes on sugarcane-based biodiesel sales that took place several years ago by Amyris Brasil Ltda. (see Note 12, “Divestiture” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2018 Form 10-K/A) to customers in Brazil, based on advice from external legal counsel. In the absence of definitive rulings from the Brazilian tax authorities on the appropriate indirect tax rate to be applied to such product sales, the actual indirect rate to be applied to such sales could differ from the rate the Company levied.

On April 3, 2019, a securities class action complaint was filed against Amyris and our CEO, John G. Melo, and former CFO (and current Chief Business Officer), Kathleen Valiasek, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that would comprise all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between March 15, 2018 and March 19, 2019. The complaint alleges securities law violations based on statements and omissions made by the Company during such period. Subsequent to the filing of the securities class action complaint described above, on June 21, 2019 and October 1, 2019, respectively, two separate purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Bonner v. Doerr, et al., Case No. 4:19-cv-03621 and Carlson v. Doerr, et al., Case No. 4:19-cv-06230) based on similar allegations to those made in the securities class action complaint described above. The derivative complaints name Amyris, Inc. as a nominal defendant and name a number of the Company’s current and former officers and directors as additional defendants. The lawsuits seek to recover, on the Company's behalf, unspecified damages purportedly sustained by the Company in connection with allegedly misleading statements and omissions made in connection with the Company’s securities filings. The derivative complaints also seek a series of changes to the Company’s corporate governance policies, restitution to the Company from the individual defendants, and an award of attorneys’ fees. These cases are in the initial pleadings stage. We believe the complaints lack merit, and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. Given the early stage of these proceedings, it is not yet possible to reliably determine any potential liability that could result from these matters.

The Company is subject to disputes and claims that arise or have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not resulted in legal proceedings or have not been fully adjudicated. Such matters that may arise in the ordinary course of business are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with reasonable assurance and therefore an estimate of all the reasonably possible losses cannot be determined at this time. Therefore, if one or more of these legal disputes or claims resulted in settlements or legal proceedings that were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management's expectations, the Company's consolidated financial statements for the relevant reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Other Matters

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but will only be recorded when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against and by the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

9. Revenue Recognition and Contract Assets and Liabilities

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents revenue by major product and service, as well as by primary geographical market, based on the location of the customer:

Significant Revenue Agreements During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

In connection with significant revenue agreements, the Company recognized the following revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018: 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

When a contract results in revenue being recognized in excess of the amount the Company has invoiced or has the right to invoice to the customer, a contract asset is recognized. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable, net when the rights to the consideration become unconditional.

Contract liabilities consist of payments received from customers, or such consideration that is contractually due, in advance of providing the product or performing services such that control has not passed to the customer.

Trade receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers are included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the point of renewable product sale or in accordance with the contractual payment terms for licenses and royalties, and grants and collaborative research and development services for the amount payable by the customer to the Company for sale of goods or the performance of services.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about accounts receivable and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

⁽¹⁾     As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, contract liabilities, noncurrent is presented in Other Noncurrent Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets because of its insignificance.

Unbilled receivables at the end of the period relate to the Company’s right to consideration from DSM for performance fees. The Company’s right to cash receipt for these minimum royalty amounts occurs on or before December 31, 2019. From December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019, the combination of current and noncurrent unbilled receivables decreased by $8.0 million as the result of invoices issued to DSM during the period. An $8.0 million unbilled accounts receivable was originally due on December 31, 2019 but was paid early by DSM. The $0.6 million difference between the original amount due and the $7.4 million cash payment received was recorded as a $0.4 million reduction of licenses and royalties revenue during the quarter and a $0.2 million reduction to interest income.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The following table provides information regarding the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) based on the Company's existing agreements with customers as of March 31, 2019.

In accordance with the disclosure provisions of ASC 606, the table above excludes estimated future revenues for performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less or a performance obligation with variable consideration that is recognized using the sales-based royalty exception for licenses of intellectual property. Additionally, approximately $17.6 million of estimated future revenue is excluded from the table above, as that amount represents constrained variable consideration.

10. Related Party Transactions

Related Party Debt

See Note 4, "Debt" above for related party debt as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Related Party Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Receivables

Related party accounts receivable and unbilled receivables as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Related Party Joint Ventures

The Company holds a 50% interest in the Aprinnova joint venture for business-to-business sales of cosmetic ingredients. This joint venture is consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s stock option activity and related information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows:

The Company’s restricted stock units (RSUs) activity and related information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows:

Stock-based compensation expense related to employee and non-employee options, RSUs and ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was allocated to research and development expense and sales, general and administrative expense as follows:

As of March 31, 2019, there was unrecognized compensation expense of $31.1 million related to stock options and RSUs. The Company expects to recognize this expense over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

Evergreen Shares for 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) approved increases to the number of shares available for issuance under the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Plan) and 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan). These shares in connection with the Equity Plan represented an automatic annual increase in the number of shares available for grant and issuance under the Equity Plan of 3,828,241 shares. This increase is equal to approximately 5.0% of the 76,564,829 total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2018. This automatic increase was effective as of January 1, 2019. These shares in connection with the Purchase Plan represented an automatic annual increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan of 383,824 shares. This increase is equal to approximately 0.5% of the 76,564,829 total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2018. This automatic increase was effective as of January 1, 2019.

12. Subsequent Events

Cannabinoid Agreement

On May 2, 2019, the Company consummated an agreement entered into March 18, 2019 related to a $300 million research, collaboration and license agreement (the Cannabinoid Agreement) with LAVVAN, Inc., a newly formed investment-backed company (Lavvan), for the development, manufacture and commercialization of cannabinoids, subject to certain closing conditions noted below. Under the agreement, the Company would perform research and development activities and Lavvan would be responsible for the commercialization of the cannabinoids developed under the agreement. The Cannabinoid Agreement is being principally funded on a milestone basis, with the Company also entitled to receive certain supplementary research and development funding from Lavvan. The Company could receive aggregate funding of up to $300 million over the term of the Cannabinoid Agreement if all of the milestones are achieved. Additionally, the agreement provides for profit share to the Company on Lavvan's gross profit margin once products are commercialized; these payments will be due for the next 20 years. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Cannabinoid Agreement is subject to certain conditions, including obtaining certain third party consents and releases and the repayment or refinancing of the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Notes and the 2015 Rule 144A Convertible Notes (see Note 4, “Debt”). On May 2, 2019, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Cannabinoid Agreement, including the formation of a special purpose entity to hold certain intellectual property created during the collaboration (the Cannabinoid Collaboration IP), the licensing of certain Company intellectual property to Lavvan, the licensing of the Cannabinoid Collaboration IP to the Company and Lavvan, and the granting by the Company to Lavvan of a lien on the Company background intellectual property being licensed to Lavvan under the Cannabinoid Agreement, which lien would be subordinated to the lien on such intellectual property under the GACP Term Loan Facility (see Note 4, “Debt”).

LSA Amendments, Assignment and Waivers

On April 4, 2019, the Company and GACP amended the LSA (see Note 4, “Debt”) to (i) effective December 31, 2018, eliminate the conditions giving rise to the early maturity date, so that loans under the GACP Term Loan Facilities would have a maturity date of July 1, 2021, (ii) remove certain Company intellectual property related to the Cannabinoid Agreement from the lien granted by the Company to GACP under the LSA, (iii) eliminate the Company’s ability to obtain the Incremental GACP Term Loan Facility, (iv) eliminate the Company’s reinvestment rights with respect to mandatory prepayments upon asset sales, (v) restrict the Company’s ability to pay interest and principal on other indebtedness without the consent of GACP, and (vi) provide that the Company must have at all times at least $15 million of unrestricted, unencumbered cash subject to a control agreement in favor of GACP.

On April 4, 2019, the Company and GACP entered into a waiver agreement, pursuant to which GACP agreed to waive breaches of certain covenants under the LSA occurring prior to, as of and after December 31, 2018 through April 8, 2019, including covenants related to quarterly minimum revenues, minimum liquidity amounts and a minimum asset coverage ratio. In connection with such waiver, the Company agreed to pay GACP fees of $0.8 million.

On April 15, 2019, the Company, GACP and Foris Ventures, LLC (Foris, an entity affiliated with director John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a current stockholder, and an owner of greater than five percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock) entered into a Loan Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Foris agreed to purchase and assume from GACP, and GACP agreed to sell and assign to Foris, the outstanding loans under the LSA and all documents and assets related thereto. In connection with such purchase and assignment, the Company agreed to repay Foris $2.5 million of the purchase price paid by Foris to GACP (the Company LPA Obligation). The closing of the loan purchase and assignment occurred on April 16, 2019.

On August 14, 2019, the Company and Foris entered into an Amendment No. 5 and Waiver to the LSA (the LSA Amendment and Waiver), pursuant to which (i) the maturity date of the loans under the LSA was extended from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2022, (ii) the interest rate for the loans under the LSA was modified from the sum of (A) the greater of (x) the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal or (y) 4.75% plus (B) 9% to the greater of (A) 12% or (B) the rate of interest payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Company, (iii) the amortization of the loans under the LSA was delayed until December 16, 2019, (iv) certain accrued and future interest and agency fee payments under the LSA were delayed until December 16, 2019, (v) certain covenants under the LSA, including related definitions, were amended to provide the Company with greater operational and financial flexibility, including, without limitation, to permit the incurrence of the indebtedness under the Naxyris Loan Facility (as described below) and the granting of liens with respect thereto, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement between Foris and Naxyris S.A. (Naxyris) governing the respective rights of the parties with respect to, among other things, the assets securing the Naxyris Loan Agreement and the LSA (the Intercreditor Agreement), (vi) certain outstanding unsecured promissory notes issued by the Company to Foris on April 8, 2019, June 11, 2019, July 10, 2019 and July 26, 2019 (as described below under “Foris Credit Agreements”), in an aggregate principal amount of $32.5 million, as well as the Company LPA Obligation, were added to the loans under the LSA, made subject to the LSA and secured by the security interest in the collateral granted to Foris under the LSA, and such promissory notes and contractual obligation were canceled in connection therewith, and (vii) Foris agreed to waive certain existing defaults under the LSA. After giving effect to the LSA Amendment and Waiver, there is $71.0 million aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the LSA, subject to quarterly covenants including minimum revenues, minimum liquidity amounts and a minimum asset coverage ratio. In connection with the entry into the LSA Amendment and Waiver, on August 14, 2019 the Company issued to Foris a warrant to purchase up to 1,438,829 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, Foris may not exercise the Foris Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, Foris, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise, unless the Company has obtained stockholder approval to exceed such limit in accordance with Nasdaq rules and regulations, which the Company intends to seek at its 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

Foris Credit Agreements

On April 8, 2019, the Company and Foris entered into a credit agreement to make available to the Company an unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million (the April Foris Credit Agreement), which the Company borrowed in full on April 8, 2019 and issued to Foris a promissory note in the principal amount of $8.0 million (the April Foris Note). The April Foris Note has a maturity date of October 14, 2019. In connection with the entry into the April Foris Credit Agreement and the issuance of the April Foris Note, which has no stated interest rate, the Company agreed to pay Foris a fee of $1.0 million, payable on or prior to the maturity date of the April Foris Note (the April Foris Note Fee); provided, that the April Foris Note Fee will be reduced to $0.5 million if the Company repays the April Foris Note in full by July 15, 2019. The April Foris Note is subordinated in right of payment to the Tranche II Note held by Wolverine (see Note 4, “Debt” and above in this Note 12, “Subsequent Events”).

On June 11, 2019, the Company and Foris entered into a credit agreement to make available to the Company an unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $8.5 million, which the Company borrowed in full on June 11, 2019 and issued to Foris a promissory note in the principal amount of $8.5 million (the June Foris Note). The June Foris Note (i) accrues interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum from and including June 11, 2019, which interest is payable on the maturity date or the earlier repayment or other satisfaction of the June Foris Note, and (ii) matures on August 28, 2019; provided, that if the May 2017 Cash Warrant held by DSM and the August 2017 DSM Cash Warrant (see Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit”) are exercised, then the maturity date of the June Foris Note will be the business day immediately following such exercise.

On July 10, 2019, the Company and Foris entered into a credit agreement to make available to the Company an unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $16.0 million (the July Foris Credit Agreement), of which the Company borrowed $8.0 million on July 10, 2019 and $8.0 million on July 26, 2019 and issued to Foris promissory notes, each in the principal amount of $8.0 million, on such dates (the July Foris Notes). The July Foris Notes (i) accrue interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum from and including the respective date of issuance, which interest is payable on the maturity date or the earlier repayment or other satisfaction of the applicable July Foris Note, and (ii) mature on December 31, 2019. In connection with the entry into the July Foris Credit Agreement, the Company and Foris amended the warrant issued to Foris on August 17, 2018 (see Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit”) to reduce the exercise price of such warrant from $7.52 per share to $2.87 per share.

The Company may at its option repay the amounts outstanding under the April Foris Note (including the April Foris Note Fee), the June Foris Note and the July Foris Notes before their respective maturity dates, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the amount being repaid plus, in the case of the June Foris Note and the July Foris Notes, accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to the date of repayment.

On August 14, 2019, the April Foris Note, the June Foris Note and the July Foris Notes were added to the loans under the LSA, made subject to the LSA and secured by the security interest in the collateral granted to Foris under the LSA, and such notes were canceled in connection therewith. See above under “LSA Amendments, Assignment and Waivers” for additional information.

On August 28, 2019, the Company and Foris entered into a credit agreement to make available to the Company an unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $19.0 million (the August Foris Credit Agreement), which the Company borrowed in full on August 28, 2019 and issued to Foris a promissory note in the principal amount of $19.0 million (the August Foris Note). The August Foris Note (i) accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum from and including August 28, 2019, which interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning December 31, 2019, and (ii) matures on January 1, 2023. The Company may at its option repay the amounts outstanding under the August Foris Note before the maturity date, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the amount being repaid plus accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to the date of repayment. Also, on August 28, 2019 in connection with the entry into the August Foris Credit Agreement, the Company and Foris amended the warrant issued to Foris on April 26, 2019 to reduce the exercise price of such warrant from $5.12 per share to $3.90 per share, and amended the warrant issued to Foris on May 14, 2019 to reduce the exercise price of such warrant from $4.56 per share to $3.90 per share. See Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” for information on the original warrants.

In connection with the entry into the August Foris Credit Agreement, on August 14, 2019 the Company issued to Foris a warrant to purchase up to 4,871,795 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.90 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The exercise price of the warrant is subject to standard adjustments but does not contain any anti-dilution protection, and the warrants only permit “cashless” or “net” exercise after the six-month anniversary of issuance of the applicable warrant, and only to the extent that there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the applicable warrant. In addition, Foris may not exercise the warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, Foris, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise, unless the Company has obtained stockholder approval to exceed such limit in accordance with Nasdaq rules and regulations, which the Company intends to seek at its 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

On August 28, 2019, in connection with the entry into the August Foris Credit Agreement (as described above under "Foris Credit Agreements"), the Company and Foris amended the warrant issued to Foris on April 26, 2019 to reduce the exercise price of such warrant from $5.12 per share to $3.90 per share.

The exercise price of the warrants issued in the foregoing private placements is subject to standard adjustments but does not contain any anti-dilution protection, and the warrants only permit “cashless” or “net” exercise after the six-month anniversary of issuance of the applicable warrant, and only to the extent that there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the applicable warrant.

On May 10, 2019, the Company and Raizen Energia S.A. (Raizen) entered into a joint venture agreement relating to the formation and operation of a joint venture relating to the production, sale and commercialization of alternative sweetener products. In connection with the formation of the joint venture, among other things, (i) the joint venture will construct a manufacturing facility on land owned by Raizen and leased to the joint venture (the Sweetener Plant), (ii) the Company will grant to the joint venture an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, license to certain technology owned by the Company relevant to the joint venture’s business, and (iii) the Company and Raizen will enter into a shareholders agreement setting forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to, and the management of, the joint venture. The formation of the joint venture is subject to certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals and the achievement of certain technological and economic milestones relating to the Company’s existing production of its alternative sweetener product. If such conditions are not satisfied by December 31, 2019, the joint venture will automatically terminate. In addition, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the closing conditions, Raizen may elect not to consummate the formation and operation of the joint venture, in which event, the Company will retain the right to construct and operate the Sweetener Plant.

Upon the closing of the joint venture, each party will make an initial capital contribution to the joint venture of 2,500,000 Brazilian Real (R$2,500,000) and the joint venture will be owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Raizen.

In addition, within six months of the formation, the Company will contribute to the joint venture its existing supply agreements related to its alternative sweetener product, subject to certain exceptions, in exchange for shares of dividend-bearing preferred stock in the joint venture, which will be entitled, for a period of 10 years commencing from the initial date of operation of the Sweetener Plant, to certain priority fixed cumulative dividends including, in the event that certain technological and economic milestones are met in any fiscal quarter, a percentage of the operating cash flow of the joint venture in such quarter.

After the formation of the joint venture, the parties will not conduct activities similar or identical to the joint venture. In the event that certain technological and economic milestones are not met in any fiscal year beginning with the third fiscal year after formation of the joint venture and ending with the seventh fiscal year after formation of the joint venture, Raizen shall have the right to sell all of its shares in the joint venture to the Company at a price per share equal to the higher of the book value and the amount of Raizen’s investments in the joint venture, as adjusted for Raizen’s cost of capital.

On May 14, 2019, the Company exchanged $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Notes held by Foris, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but excluding, May 15, 2019, for 1,122,460 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to 352,638 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.56 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance, in a private exchange pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. On August 28, 2019, in connection with the entry into the August Foris Credit Agreement (as described above under "Foris Credit Agreements"), the Company and Foris amended the warrant issued to Foris on May 14, 2019 to reduce the exercise price of such warrant from $4.56 per share to $3.90 per share.

On May 15, 2019, the Company exchanged $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Notes held by Maxwell (Mauritius) Pte Ltd for 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a private exchange pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

On May 15, 2019, the Company exchanged $9.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Rule 144A Convertible Notes held by Total for a new senior convertible note with an equal principal amount and with substantially identical terms, except that the new note had a maturity date of June 14, 2019, in a private exchange pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Effective June 14, 2019, the Company and Total agreed to extend the maturity date of the new note from June 14, 2019 to July 18, 2019. Effective July 18, 2019, the Company and Total agreed to (i) further extend the maturity date of the new note from July 18, 2019 to August 28, 2019 and (ii) increase the interest rate on the new note to 10.50% per annum, beginning July 18, 2019.

The exercise price of the warrants issued in the foregoing exchanges is subject to standard adjustments but does not contain any anti-dilution protection, and the warrants only permit “cashless” or “net” exercise after the six-month anniversary of the exercisability of the applicable warrant, and only to the extent that there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the applicable warrant. In addition, (i) the exercisability of the warrant issued to Foris is subject to stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq rules and regulations, which the Company intends to seek at its 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, and (ii) each warrant provides that the Company may not effect any exercise of such warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the applicable holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise.

6% Convertible Notes due 2021 Exchanges

On May 15, 2019 and June 24, 2019, the Company exchanged $53.3 million and $4.7 million principal amount, respectively, of the 6% Convertible Notes due 2021 (see Note 4, “Debt”), including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, representing all then-outstanding 6% Convertible Notes due 2021, for new senior convertible notes with an equal principal amount and warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 and 181,818 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $5.12 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance, in private exchanges pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The new notes have substantially identical terms as the 6% Convertible Notes due 2021 being exchanged, except that (i) the holders agreed to waive, until July 22, 2019, certain covenants relating to the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, the new notes and the filing by the Company of reports with the SEC and (ii) during the period from July 22, 2019 to July 29, 2019, inclusive, the holders have the right to require the Company to redeem the new notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 125% of the principal amount being redeemed. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to standard adjustments but does not contain any anti-dilution protection, and the warrants only permit “cashless” or “net” exercise after the six-month anniversary of issuance, and only to the extent that there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the applicable warrant. In addition, the holders may not exercise the warrants, and the Company may not affect any exercise of the warrants, to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the applicable holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise.

On July 24, 2019, Company further exchanged $53.3 million principal amount of the previously-exchanged 6% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 as well as the warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock issued on May 15, 2019, for a new senior convertible note with a principal amount of $68.3 million (the Second Exchange Note) and a new warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.87 per share, with an exercise term of two years from May 15, 2019 (the Second Exchange Warrant) in a private exchange pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Second Exchange Note and Second Exchange Warrant have substantially similar terms as the note and warrant, respectively, issued on May 15, 2019, except that (i) the principal amount of the Second Exchange Note would be $68.3 million, reflecting accrued and unpaid interest and late charges under the exchanged note and a 25% premium accruing as a result of the Company’s failure to make an installment payment on the exchanged note due July 1, 2019 in the amount of $6.4 million, provided that upon an event of default under the Second Exchange Note, the Company would not be required to redeem the Second Exchange Note in cash at a price greater than the intrinsic value of the shares of common stock underlying the Second Exchange Note, (ii) the Second Exchange Note bears interest at a rate of 18% per annum, (iii) the holder agreed to extend its waiver of certain covenant breaches relating to the failure by the Company to timely file periodic reports with the SEC from July 22, 2019 to September 16, 2019, (iv) the first installment date under the Second Exchange Note will occur on October 1, 2019, (v) the Company is required to (A) make principal payments on the Second Exchange Note in the amount of $3.2 million on each of August 2, 2019 and August 22, 2019, and (B) pay all remaining amounts then outstanding under the Second Exchange Note on September 16, 2019, and if the Company fails to make any such payment on the applicable payment date, the conversion price of the Second Exchange Note will be reset to the volume-weighted average price of the common stock on the trading day immediately following the Company’s filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to its failure to make the payment due on September 16, 2019, if such volume-weighted average price is lower than the conversion price of the Second Exchange Note then in effect, subject to a price floor and (vi) the Second Exchange Warrant has an exercise price of $2.87 per share.

On July 26, 2019, one of the holders of the senior convertibles notes issued in exchange for the 6% Convertible Notes due 2021, holding a senior convertible note in the principal amount of $4.7 million issued on June 24, 2019, exercised its right to require the Company to redeem such note in whole at a price equal to 125% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such note to the date of repayment. Redemption of such note was initially due on July 30, 2019 and subsequently extended to August 30, 2019. The Company redeemed such note in full on August 30, 2019.

On September 16, 2019, the Company failed to pay an aggregate of $63.6 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Second Exchange Note when due. The failure resulted in an event of default under the Second Exchange Note and also triggered cross-defaults under other debt instruments of the Company which permitted the holders of such indebtedness to accelerate the amounts owing under such instruments. The Company subsequently received waivers from substantially all holders of such other debt instruments to waive the right to accelerate. As a result, the indebtedness with respect to which the Company has obtained such waivers continues to be classified as long-term on the Company’s balance sheet.  The indebtedness reflected by the Second Exchange Note continues to be classified as a current liability on the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, as a result of the payment default, the conversion price of the Second Exchange Note is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Second Exchange Note.

The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to repay the amounts outstanding under the Second Exchange Note. To date, negotiations with the holder of the Second Exchange Note have not been successful, and there can be no assurance that a favorable outcome for the Company will be reached. The Company has executed a term sheet with an existing investor for a term loan, the proceeds of which would be used to repay a portion of the Second Exchange Note. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on its expected timeline, or on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if the Company does obtain such financing, it will not have sufficient funds to repay the Second Exchange Note in full without obtaining additional financing, which the Company is attempting to source. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Exchange of August 2013 Financing Convertible Note

On July 8, 2019, the August 2013 Financing Convertible Note held by Wolverine (see Note 4, “Debt”) was exchanged for 1,767,632 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 1,080,000 shares of common stock in a private exchange pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The exercise price of the warrant is subject to standard adjustments but does not contain any anti-dilution protection, and the warrant only permits “cashless” or “net” exercise after the six-month anniversary of issuance, and only to the extent that there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrant. In addition, Wolverine may not exercise the warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, Wolverine, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise.

Nikko Loan Agreement

On July 29, 2019, the Company and Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Nikko) entered into a loan agreement (the Nikko Loan Agreement) to make available to the Company secured loans in an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, to be issued in separate installments of $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, with each installment being subject to certain closing conditions, including the entry into certain commercial agreements and other arrangements relating to the Aprinnova JV (see Note 10, “Related Party Transactions”). On July 30, 2019, the Company borrowed the first installment of $3.0 million under the Nikko Loan Agreement and received net cash proceeds of $2.8 million, with the remaining $0.2 million being withheld by Nikko as prepayment of the interest payable on such loan through the maturity date. On August 8, 2019, the Company borrowed the remaining $2.0 million available under the Nikko Loan Agreement and received net cash proceeds of $1.9 million, with the remaining $0.1 million being withheld by Nikko as prepayment of the interest payable on such loan through the maturity date. The loans (i) mature on December 18, 2020, (ii) accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum from and including the applicable loan date through the maturity date, which interest is required to be prepaid in full on the date of the applicable loan, and (iii) are secured by a first-priority lien on 12.8% of the Aprinnova JV interests owned by the Company.

Aprinnova Working Capital Loan

Effective July 31, 2019, the Company and Nikko agreed to extend the term of the Second Aprinnova Note (see Note 5, “Debt” in the 2018 Form 10-K/A) from August 1, 2019 to August 1, 2020.

In addition, the Company may at its option prepay the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Naxyris Loan Facility in full before the maturity date. Any prepayment of the loans under the Naxyris Loan Facility prior to the maturity date, whether pursuant to a mandatory or optional prepayment, is subject to a prepayment charge equal to one year’s interest at the then-current interest rate for the Naxyris Loan Facility.

On September 10, 2019, the Company entered into separate credit agreements (the “Investor Credit Agreements”) with each of Schottenfeld Opportunities Fund II, L.P., Phase Five Partners, LP and Koyote Trading, LLC (the “Investors”) to make available to the Company unsecured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $12.5 million, which the Company borrowed in full on September 10, 2019 and issued to the Investors separate promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $12.5 million (the “Investor Notes”). Each Investor Note (i) accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum from and including September 10, 2019, which interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning December 31, 2019, and (ii) matures on January 1, 2023. The Company may at its option repay the amounts outstanding under the Investor Notes before the maturity date, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the amount being repaid plus accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to the date of repayment.

In connection with the entry into the Investor Credit Agreements, on September 10, 2019, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,205,128 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.90 per share, with an exercise term of two years from issuance in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to standard adjustments but does not contain any anti-dilution protection, and the warrants only permit “cashless” or “net” exercise after the six-month anniversary of issuance of the applicable warrant, and only to the extent that there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the applicable warrant. In addition, no Investor may exercise its warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, such Investor, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise. In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale by the Investors of the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants with the SEC within 60 days following the date of the issuance of the warrants and to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective within 120 days following the date of the issuance of the warrants and (ii) keep such registration statement effective until the Investors no longer beneficially own any such shares of Common Stock or such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without regard to volume limitations. If the Company fails to file the registration statement by the filing deadline or the registration statement is not declared effective by the effectiveness deadline, or the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement as required by the warrants, then the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced by 10%, and by an additional 5% if such failure continues for longer than 90 days, subject to an exercise price floor of $3.31 per share, provided that upon the cure by the Company of such failure, the exercise price of the warrants will revert to $3.90 per share.

In connection with the entry into the Investor Credit Agreements and the issuance of the warrants, on September 10, 2019, the Company and the Investors entered into a Standstill Agreement (the “Investor Standstill Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investors agreed that, until the earliest to occur of (i) the Investors no longer beneficially owning any shares underlying the warrants, (ii) the Company entering into a definitive agreement involving the direct or indirect acquisition of all or a majority of the Company’s equity securities or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iii) a person or group, with the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), commencing a tender offer for all or a majority of the Company's equity securities, neither the Investors nor any of their respective affiliates will (without the prior written consent of the Board), among other things, (i) acquire any loans, debt securities, equity securities, or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or rights or options with respect thereto, except that the Investors shall be permitted to (a) purchase the shares underlying the warrants pursuant to the exercise of the warrants and (b) acquire beneficial ownership of up to 6.99% of the Common Stock, or (ii) make any proposal, public announcement, solicitation or offer with respect to, or otherwise solicit, seek or offer to effect, or instigate, encourage, or assist any third party with respect to: (a) any business combination, merger, tender offer, exchange offer, or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (b) any restructuring, recapitalization, liquidation, or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any acquisition of any of the Company’s loans, debt securities, equity securities or assets, or rights or options with respect thereto; or (d) any proposal to seek representation on the Board or otherwise seek to control or influence the management, Board, or policies of the Company, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
