The Company also manufactures scientific instruments for life sciences research, which it sells with related software for use by pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions.
On November 5, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Envigo RMS Holding Corp. (“Envigo”) by merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Envigo.
As a result of the Envigo transaction, the Company’s business now includes breeding, importing and selling research-quality animal models for use in laboratory tests, manufacturing and distributing standard and custom diets, distributing bedding and enrichment products, and providing other services associated with these products. With over 130 different species and strains, the Company is a global leader in the production and sale of some of the most widely used rodent research model strains, among other species. The Company maintains production and distribution facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), United Kingdom (“U.K.”), mainland Europe, and Israel.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.
The acquisition of Envigo was transformational to the Company’s underlying business. As a result, certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform with current presentation, which more closely reflects management’s perspective of the business as it currently exists.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgements that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These include, but are not limited to, management estimates in the calculation and timing of revenue recognition, pension liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related valuation allowance. Although estimates are based upon management’s best estimate using historical experience, current events, and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.
Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company, including all subsidiaries and a VIE it consolidates in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates a VIE as a result of the Envigo acquisition. The VIE does not materially impact our net assets or net (loss) income.
The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such interests as a portion of equity but separate from the parent’s equity. The noncontrolling interests’ portion of net income (loss) is presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021. As a result of the Envigo acquisition, the following policies have been added or adjusted to reflect our combined business.
Pension Costs
As a result of the Envigo acquisition, the Company has a defined benefit pension plan for one of its U.K. subsidiaries.
The projected benefit obligation and funded position of the defined benefit plan is estimated by actuaries and the Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit plan on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognizes gains, losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period that are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company measures plan assets and obligations as of the date of the Company’s year-end consolidated balance sheet, using assumptions to anticipate future events. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Envigo acquisition had not yet been finalized as of June 30, 2022. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of the unfunded defined benefit plan obligation, among other items.
Additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations are disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 14 – Defined Benefit Plan).
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented is comprised of consolidated net income (loss) plus the change in the cumulative translation adjustment equity account and the adjustments, net of tax, for the current period actuarial gains (losses) in connection with the Company’s defined benefit plan.
Foreign Currencies
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity are recorded at the rates of exchange on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date and the related transaction gains and losses are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, in Operating income (loss). The Company records gains and losses from re-measuring intercompany loans within Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The results of operations of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, capital accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and retained earnings are translated at the weighted average of historical rates. Translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income (loss) and are recorded as a separate component of equity within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables from customers in the biopharmaceutical, contract research, academic, and governmental sectors. The Company believes its exposure to credit risk is minimal, as the majority of the customers are predominantly well established and viable. Additionally, the Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event that payment is not received for revenue recognized equals the outstanding trade receivables and contract assets less fees invoiced in advance.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 30.9% and 28.9% of sales, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of sales. During the the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, one vendor accounted for 13.0% and 13.7% of cost of revenues, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, no vendor accounted for more than 10% of cost of revenues.

2. EQUITY
Common Stock Offering
On April 23, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 3,044,117 of our common shares, including 397,058 common shares sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. All of the shares were sold at a
to the public of $17.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $49,000, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.Increase in Authorized Shares and Equity Plan Reserve
On November 4, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares from 20,000,000 shares, consisting of 19,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares, to 75,000,000 shares, consisting of 74,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 preferred shares. Approval of this matter by the Inotiv shareholders was a condition to the closing of the Envigo acquisition. The amendment was effective on November 4, 2021. On November 4, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) to increase the number of shares available for awards thereunder by 1,500,000 shares and to make certain corresponding changes to certain limitations in the Equity Plan. At June 30, 2022, 926,647 shares remained available for grants under the Equity Plan.
Stock Issued in Connection with Acquisitions
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, 17,618 and 9,498,213 common shares, respectively, were issued in relation to acquisitions. See Note 10 – Business Combinations for further discussion of consideration for each acquisition.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company expenses the estimated fair value of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units over the vesting periods of the grants. The Company recognizes expense for awards subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method. The Company adopted a change in accounting policy effective October 1, 2020 for forfeitures. Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, was $1,987 and $27,057, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 was $581 and $1,040, respectively. Of the $27,057 stock based compensation expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2022, $23,014 related to post-combination expense recognized in connection with the Envigo transaction (see Note 10 – Business Combinations), which was inclusive of $4,772 of stock based compensation settled in cash.
3. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
The Company computes basic income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company computes diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method for preferred shares and convertible debt, if any, and the treasury stock method for stock options and restricted stock units. Shares issuable upon exercise of 1,967,080 options and shares issuable upon vesting of 541,434 restricted stock units were not considered in computing diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 because they were anti-dilutive. Additionally, there are 3,040,268 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion in connection with the convertible debt entered into on September 27, 2021. These shares were not considered in computing diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 because they were anti-dilutive. Shares issuable upon the exercise of 671 options and seven common shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares were not considered in computing diluted income per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 because they were anti-dilutive.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Due to the Envigo acquisition, the Company reports its results in two reportable segments – Discovery and Safety Assessment (“DSA”) and Research Models and Services (“RMS”).
The DSA segment provides preclinical research services on a contract basis directly to biopharma and pharmaceutical companies as well as certain research products. Preclinical research services include screening and pharmacological testing, nonclinical safety testing, formulation development, regulatory compliance and quality control testing, which are services required to take a drug through the early development process including discovery services, which are non-regulated services to assist clients with the identification, screening, and selection of a lead compound for drug development, and regulated and non-regulated (Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) and non-GLP) safety assessment services. This segment also provides research products, such as liquid chromatography, electrochemical and physiological monitoring products to pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions.
The Company’s RMS reportable segment includes the research models, research model services and Teklad diet, bedding and enrichment products (“Teklad”). Research models include the commercial production and sale of small research models and large research models and the production and sale of certain biological products. Research model services include: Genetically Engineered Models and Services (“GEMS”), which performs contract breeding and other services associated with genetically engineered models; client-owned animal colony care; and health monitoring and diagnostics services related to research models. Teklad includes standard, custom and medicated diets as well as bedding and environmental enrichment products, which enhance the welfare of research animals.
13
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the RMS segment reported intersegment revenue of $2,257 and $4,574, respectively, to the DSA segment. The following table presents revenue and other financial information by reportable segment:

6. INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances based on a determination of the expected realization of tax assets.
The difference between the enacted federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company’s effective tax rate of 5.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily related to a release of valuation allowance due to deferred tax liabilities established as part of the acquisition of Envigo, as well as, the impact on tax expense of certain book to tax differences on the deductibility of transaction costs, loss on fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes, compensation and other permanent items.
14
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the amount of the accrual for which an exposure exists as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that it believes is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement of the position.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s only uncertain tax position was derived from a business combination.
The Company records interest and penalties accrued in relation to the uncertain income tax position as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Any changes in the liability for the uncertain tax position would impact the effective tax rate. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the various states and foreign jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. State and other income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of
to five years after the filing of the respective returns. The Company has open tax years for state and foreign income tax filings generally starting in 2017.On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of the employer portion of social security payments (“FICA deferral”), and expanded income tax net operating loss carryback provisions. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has a FICA deferral of approximately $916 related to the Envigo acquisition. Payment of the deferral is due on December 31, 2022.
On December 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”), which extended and expanded certain tax relief measures created by the CARES Act.
On March 11, 2021, the U.S. enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”), which expands Section 162(m) to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees,” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. We continue to examine the elements of the CAA and ARPA and the impact they may have on our future business.
7. DEBT
Credit Facility
On November 5, 2021, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in the original principal amount of $165,000, a delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35,000 (available to be drawn up to 18 months from the date of the Credit Agreement), and a revolving loan facility in the original principal amount of $15,000. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate combined increase of the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility of up to $35,000, which amount will be available to be drawn once the delayed draw term loan facility is no longer available. On November 5, 2021, the Company borrowed the full amount of the term loan facility, but did not borrow any amounts on the delayed draw term loan facility or the revolving loan facility.
The Company may elect to borrow on each of the loan facilities at either an adjusted LIBOR rate of interest or an adjusted prime rate of interest. Adjusted LIBOR rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The LIBOR rate must be a minimum of 1.00%. The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate plus 6.25%. Adjusted prime rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate plus a margin of between 5.00% and 5.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio. The initial adjusted prime rate of interest is the prime rate plus 5.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.82% through June 30, 2022.
The Company must pay (i) a fee based on a percentage per annum equal to 0.50% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the revolving loan facility and (ii) a fee based on a percentage per annum equal to 1.00% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the delayed draw loan facility. In each case, such fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears.
Each of the term loan facility and delayed draw term loan facility require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.00% of their respective original principal amounts. The Company shall also repay the term loan facility on an annual basis in an
15
amount equal to a percentage of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which percentage will be determined by its then current Secured Leverage Ratio. Each of the loan facilities may be repaid at any time with premium or penalty.
The Company is required to maintain an initial Secured Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.25 to 1.00. The maximum permitted Secured Leverage Ratio shall reduce to 3.75 to 1.00 beginning with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023 and to 3.00 to 1.00 beginning with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025. The Company is required to maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which ratio shall be 1.00 to 1.00 during the first year of the Credit Agreement and shall be 1.10 to 1.00 from and after the Credit Agreement’s first anniversary.
Each of the loan facilities is secured by all assets (other than certain excluded assets) of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Repayment of each of the loan facilities is guaranteed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Utilizing proceeds from the Credit Agreement on November 5, 2021, the Company repaid all indebtedness and terminated the credit agreement related to the First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”) credit facility and recognized an $877 loss on debt extinguishment.
On January 7, 2022, the Company drew $35,000 on the delayed draw term loan facility. The delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35,000 is referred to herein as the “Initial DDTL”. Amounts outstanding under the Initial DDTL accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate of 1.00% plus 6.25% for a total rate of 7.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.49% through June 30, 2022.
First Amendment to Credit Agreement
On January 27, 2022, the Company, Subsidiary Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the existing Credit Agreement. The Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase to the existing term loan facility in the amount of $40,000 (the “Incremental Term Loans”) and a new delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35,000, which amount is available to be drawn up to 24 months from the date of the Amendment (the “DDTL”). The Incremental Term Loans and any amounts borrowed under the DDTL are referred to herein as the “Additional Term Loans”. On January 27, 2022, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Incremental Term Loans, but did not borrow any amounts under the DDTL.
Amounts outstanding under the Additional Term Loans will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate of 1.00% plus 6.25% for a total rate of 7.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.82% through June 30, 2022.
The Additional Term Loans require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount. Voluntary prepayments of the Additional Term Loans will be subject to a 2% prepayment premium if made on or prior to November 5, 2022 and a 1% prepayment premium if made on or prior to November 5, 2023. Voluntary prepayments made after November 5, 2023 are not subject to a prepayment premium.
Each of the Additional Term Loans require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.0% of its respective original principal amounts. The Company shall also repay the term loans on an annual basis in an amount equal to a percentage of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which percentage will be determined by its then current Secured Leverage Ratio.
The Additional Term Loans are secured by all assets (other than certain excluded assets) of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Repayment of the Additional Term Loans is guaranteed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Additional Term Loans will mature on November 5, 2026.

Acquisition-related Debt
In addition to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have issued unsecured notes as partial payment of the purchase prices of certain acquisitions as described herein. Each of these notes is subordinated to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.
As part of the acquisition of Plato BioPharma, Inc. (“Plato”), which is a part of the Company’s Inotiv Boulder subsidiary, Inotiv Boulder, LLC, the Company issued unsecured subordinated promissory notes payable to the former shareholders of Plato in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest and a maturity date of June 1, 2023.
As part of the acquisition of Orient BioResource Center (“OBRC”), the Company agreed to leave in place a payable owed by OBRC to the seller in the amount of $3,700, which the Company determined to have a fair value of $3,325 as of January 27, 2022. The payable does not bear interest and is required to be paid to seller on the date that is 18 months after the closing date of January 27, 2022. The Company has the right to set off against the payable any amounts that become payable by the seller on account of indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement.
As part of the acquisition of Histion, LLC (“Histion”) which is a part of the Company’s subsidiary, Bronco Research Services, LLC, the Company issued unsecured subordinated promissory notes payable to the former shareholders of Histion in an aggregate principal amount of $433. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest and a maturity date of April 1, 2025.
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 27, 2021, the Company issued $140,000 principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of September 27, 2021, among the Company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BAS Evansville, Inc., as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the initial purchaser of the Notes, the Company granted the initial purchaser an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes were first issued, up to an additional $15,000 principal amount of the Notes. The Notes issued on September 27, 2021 included $15,000 principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the full exercise by the initial purchaser of such option. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Envigo acquisition and related fees and expenses.
The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future
17
indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior, unsecured basis, by the Guarantor.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2022. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before April 15, 2027, noteholders have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after April 15, 2027, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, its common shares or a combination of cash and its common shares, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 1.7162 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $46.05 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole and not in part, at the Company’s option at any time on or after October 15, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per common share of the Company exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price is a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling the Notes for redemption pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which will result in an increase to the conversion rate in certain circumstances for a specified period of time.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common shares.
The Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, are subject to a
cure period); (ii) the Company’s failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iii) the failure by the Company or the Guarantor to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the ability of the Company or the Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (iv) a default by the Company or the Guarantor in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (v) certain defaults by the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $20,000; (vi) the rendering of certain judgments against the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries for the payment of at least $20,000, where such judgments are not discharged or stayed within 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired or on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective significant subsidiaries; and (viii) the guarantee of the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by the Indenture) or the Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its guarantee of the Notes.If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company or the Guarantor (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% on the principal amount of the Notes.

In accordance with ASC 815, at issuance, the Company evaluated the convertible feature of the Notes and determined it was required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and did not qualify for equity classification. The convertible feature of the Notes is subject to fair value remeasurement as of each balance sheet date or until it meets equity classification requirements and is valued utilizing Level 3 inputs as described below. The discount resulting from the initial fair value of the embedded derivative will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Non-cash interest expense during the period primarily related to this discount.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred shares by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. As a result of the approval of the increase in authorized shares on November 4, 2021 (see Note 2 – Equity), the Note conversion rights met all equity classification criteria in ASC 815. As a result, the derivative liability was remeasured as of November 4, 2021 and reclassified out of long-term liabilities and into additional paid-in capital.
Based upon the above, the Company remeasured the fair value of the embedded derivative as of November 4, 2021, which resulted in a fair value measurement of $88,576 and a loss on remeasurement included in other income (loss) for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 of $56,714. The embedded derivative liability of $88,576 was then reclassified to additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 815.
In connection with the evaluation at November 4, 2021, the Company rechallenged its analysis of the initial allocation of value between the embedded derivative and debt component of the convertible debt included in long-term liabilities at September 30, 2021. This resulted in a change in the allocation of the underlying long-term debt from $76,716 to $99,776 and the allocation of the conversion feature from $54,922 to $31,862. These changes did not result in any change to long-term liabilities or any material changes to net income (loss) as of September 30, 2021.
Fair Value
The provisions of the fair value measurements and disclosure topic define fair value, establish a consistent framework for measuring fair value and provide the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This topic also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
● | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. |
● | Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
● | Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
Up until November 4, 2021, the embedded derivative conversion feature of the Notes was subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis as they included unobservable and significant inputs in determining the fair value. The Company utilized a single factor trinomial lattice model to determine the related fair value of the embedded derivative convertible feature of the Notes at November 4, 2021, and the inputs used included a volatility of 40.0%, a bond yield assumption of 10.44% and a remaining maturity period of 5.95 years.
Former Credit Agreement
On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “FIB Amendment”), which amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the Company and FIB, as amended (the “FIB Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the FIB Amendment, FIB consented to the acquisition by the Company of Plato by merger of Plato
19
with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the subsequent merger of the surviving corporation of that merger with another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the FIB Amendment amended the FIB Credit Agreement to (i) add the promissory notes to be issued to former Plato shareholders in the Plato acquisition as permitted indebtedness, which notes were issued by the surviving company, guaranteed by the Company and subordinated in favor of FIB, and (ii) add references to the Plato acquisition to certain provisions of the FIB Credit Agreement relating to subordination agreements, representations and warranties, and certain covenants to permit the Plato acquisition to occur. The FIB Amendment included agreements by the Company to obtain certain landlord waivers within 30 days of the closing of the Plato acquisition and to deliver to FIB signed subordination agreements.
The Company consummated the Envigo acquisition and repaid all of its obligations under the FIB Credit Agreement in November 2021.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred shares by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. The guidance also includes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share. See Note 7 for discussion of the impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
10. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense (benefit). ASC 805 requires that any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed, be recognized as goodwill.
HistoTox Labs Acquisition
Overview
On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of HistoTox Labs, Inc. (“HistoTox Labs”). HistoTox Labs is a provider of services in connection with non-clinical consulting, laboratory and strategic support services and products related to routine and specialized histology, immunohistology, histopathology and image analysis/digital pathology. Consideration for the HistoTox Labs acquisition consisted of $22,389 in cash, including $68 payable in net working capital adjustments.
HistoTox Labs, Bolder BioPATH, Inc. (“Bolder BioPATH”) and Plato (discussed below) were combined into one business unit and recorded combined revenues of $8,845 and $26,328 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and recorded combined net income of $932 and $2,497 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH recorded combined revenues of $4,251 and combined net income of $585 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2021.

Property and equipment is mostly composed of equipment (including lab equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment). The fair value of property and equipment was determined using a combination of cost and market-based methodologies.
Intangible assets relate to customer relationships and a non-compete agreement. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of approximately eight years for customer relationships and five years for the non-compete agreement on a straight-line basis. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including revenues, cost of services, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.
Goodwill, which is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, expanded client base and our ability to provide broader service solutions through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired and is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill from this transaction is allocated to the Company’s DSA reportable segment.
Bolder BioPATH Acquisition
Overview
On May 3, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Bolder BioPATH in a merger of Bolder BioPATH with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Bolder BioPATH is a provider of services specializing in in vivo models of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease as well as other autoimmune and inflammation models. Consideration for the Bolder BioPATH acquisition consisted of (i) $17,530 in cash, including a net working capital adjustment of $970, which was settled through a reduction of the seller note of $470 and receipt of $500 cash, and inclusive of $1,250 being held in escrow for purposes of securing any amounts payable by the selling parties on account of indemnification obligations, purchase price adjustments, and other amounts payable under the merger agreement, (ii) 1,588,235 of the Company’s common shares valued at $34,452 using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on May 3, 2021 and (iii) unsecured subordinated promissory notes payable to the former shareholders of Bolder BioPATH in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest and a maturity date of May 1, 2026.
In accordance with ASC 805-740, the Company established a deferred tax liability with an offset to goodwill in connection with the accounting for the opening balance sheet of the Bolder BioPATH acquisition as a result of book-to-tax differences primarily related to the customer relationship intangible and property and equipment. This business is reported as part of our DSA reportable segment.

BioReliance Acquisition
Overview
On July 9, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of BioReliance Corporation (“BioReliance”) to further expand its service offerings to include genetic toxicology services. The assets acquired consisted of fixed assets and an intangible asset related to customer relationships. The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination as it was determined that the transaction included inputs and substantive processes capable of producing outputs which constitute a business. Consideration for the BioReliance acquisition consisted of (i) $175 in cash and (ii) 10% of net sales through December 2023 derived from the provision by the Company of services comprising the business to existing customers related to the intangible asset acquired. The Company estimated the fair value of 10% of net sales and recorded a contingent consideration liability of $640 in the consolidated balance sheets for the year ended September 30, 2021. The $175 consideration payable was included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets for the year ended September 30, 2021 and subsequently paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This business is reported as part of our DSA reportable segment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $579 of contingent consideration related to the BioReliance acquisition that is subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis as it includes unobservable and significant inputs in the determination of fair value. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to BioReliance was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis and Level 3 inputs including projections representative of a market participant view for net sales through December 2023 and an estimated discount rate. The amount to be paid is calculated as a percentage of net sales as described above.

Property and equipment is mostly composed of lab equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment. The fair value of property and equipment was determined to approximate net book value at the time of the acquisition based on the information currently available and pending finalization of our fair value assessment, which is subject to change as we complete our valuation procedures.
Intangible assets primarily relate to customer relationships. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of approximately eight years for customer relationships on a straight-line basis. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including revenues, cost of services, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors.
Goodwill, which is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, expanded client base and our ability to provide broader service solutions through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired and is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill from this transaction is allocated to the Company’s DSA reportable segment.
In accordance with ASC 805-740, the Company established a deferred tax liability with an offset to goodwill in connection with the accounting for the opening balance sheet of the Plato acquisition as a result of book-to-tax differences primarily related to the intangible assets.

11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company disaggregates its revenue from clients into two revenue streams, service revenue and product revenue. At contract inception the Company assesses the services promised in the contract with the clients to identify performance obligations in the arrangements.
Service revenue
DSA
The Company enters into contracts with clients to provide drug discovery and development services with payments based on mainly fixed-fee arrangements. The Company also offers archive storage services to its clients.
31
The Company’s fixed fee arrangements may involve nonclinical research services (toxicology, pathology, pharmacology), bioanalytical, and pharmaceutical method development and validation, nonclinical research services and the analysis of bioanalytical and pharmaceutical samples. For bioanalytical and pharmaceutical method validation services and nonclinical research services, revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on the ratio of direct costs incurred to total estimated direct costs. For contracts that involve in-life study conduct, method development or the analysis of bioanalytical and pharmaceutical samples, revenue is recognized over time when samples are analyzed or when services are performed. The Company generally bills for services on a milestone basis. These contracts represent a single performance obligation and due to the Company’s right to payment for work performed, revenue is recognized over time. Research services contract fees received upon acceptance are deferred until earned and classified within customer advances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled revenues represent revenues earned under contracts in advance of billings.
Archive services provide climate controlled archiving for clients’ data and samples. The archive revenue is recognized over time, generally when the service is provided. These arrangements include one performance obligation. Amounts related to future archiving or prepaid archiving contracts for clients where archiving fees are billed in advance are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the period the applicable archive service is performed.
RMS
The Company provides GEMS, which includes the performance of contract breeding and other services associated with genetically engineered models, client-owned animal colony care, and health monitoring and diagnostics services related to research models. For contracts that involve creation of a specific type of animal, revenue is recognized over time with each milestone as a separate performance obligation. The Company is due payment for work performed even if subsequent milestones are unable to be met. Contract breeding revenue and client-owned animal colony care revenue are recognized over time and are billed as per diems. Health monitoring revenue and diagnostic services revenue are recognized once the service is performed.
Product revenue
DSA
DSA product revenue includes internally-manufactured scientific instruments for life sciences research and the related software for use by pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions under the Company’s BASi product line. These products can be sold to multiple clients and have alternative use. Both the transaction sales price and shipping terms are agreed upon in the client order. For these products, all revenue is recognized at a point in time, generally when title of the product and control is transferred to the client based upon shipping terms. These arrangements typically include only one performance obligation.
RMS
RMS product revenue includes research models, diets and bedding, bioproducts and GEMS. Research models revenue represents the commercial production and sale of research models, principally purpose-bred rats and mice for use by researchers, and large-animal models. Diets and bedding revenue represents laboratory animal diets, bedding, and enrichment products under the Company’s Teklad product line. Bioproducts revenue represents the sale of serum and plasma, whole blood, tissues, organs and glands, embryo culture serum and growth factors. Research models and diets and bedding include freight costs associated with the delivery of the product to customers. For these products, all revenue is recognized at a point in time, generally when title and control of the product is transferred to the client based upon shipping terms. These arrangements typically include only one performance obligation.

12.RESTRUCTURING
During June 2022, the Company approved and announced a plan to close its facility in Cumberland, Virginia (“Cumberland facility”) and to close and relocate its operations in Dublin, Virginia (“Dublin facility”) into its other existing facilities, as a part of the Company’s ongoing restructuring and site optimization plan. The Cumberland facility exit is also a part of the transfer plan settlement, as further described in Note 15 – Contingencies. The operations at both the Cumberland facility and the Dublin facility are within the RMS segment. The Cumberland facility exit is expected to be complete by October 2022. Any potential decision to sell the facility and related property may extend past that date. The Company expects the Dublin facility transition to be complete by December 2022.
As part of its restructuring activities, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur further expenses that qualify as exit and disposal costs under GAAP. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, these costs included employee severance and other costs related to workforce reductions (“employee-related”) of $1,193 and other exit costs (“other”) of $2,614, which primarily relate to inventory write-downs related to the exit of the Cumberland facility and to costs to maintain the facilities until each facility has been exited. Exit and disposal costs have been charged to Other operating expense.

15. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Envigo RMS, LLC (“Envigo RMS”) is a defendant in a purported class action and a related action under California’s Private Attorney General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) brought by Jacob Greenwell, a former employee of Envigo RMS, on June 25, 2021 in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County. The complaints allege that Envigo RMS violated certain wage and hour requirements under the California Labor Code. PAGA authorizes private attorneys to bring claims on behalf of the State of California and aggrieved employees for violations of California’s wage and hour laws. The class action complaint seeks certification of a class of similarly situated employees and the award of actual, consequential and incidental losses and damages for the alleged violations. The PAGA
35
complaint seeks civil penalties pursuant to the California Labor Code and attorney’s fees. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend these claims.
On June 23, 2022, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, naming the Company and Robert W. Leasure and Beth A. Taylor as defendants, captioned Grobler v. Inotiv, Inc., et al., Case No. 4:22-cv-00045 (N.D. Ind.). The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related to the Company’s disclosures concerning its acquisition of Envigo RMS, LLC and its regulatory compliance. The purported class in the complaint includes all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's common stock between September 21, 2021 and June 13, 2022, and the complaint seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and expenses of attorneys and experts, and other relief. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter, the Company believes the class action to be without merit and plans to vigorously defend itself.
The Company is party to certain other legal actions arising out of the normal course of its business. In management's opinion, none of these actions will have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Government Investigations and Actions
During the period from July 2021 through March 2022, Envigo RMS’s Cumberland facility was inspected on several occasions by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). USDA issued inspection reports with findings of non-compliance with certain USDA laws and regulations. Envigo RMS formally appealed certain of the findings, and made multiple remediations and improvements at the Cumberland facility, of which it kept USDA apprised.
On May 18, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), together with federal and state law enforcement agents, executed a search and seizure warrant on the Cumberland facility. The warrant was issued by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia on May 13, 2022. Certain employees also received a grand jury subpoena requested by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia (“USAO-VA”). Consistent with Company policy, the Company is cooperating with DOJ and USAO-VA and other involved authorities.
On May 19, 2022, a civil complaint was filed against Envigo RMS in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The complaint was a civil action by DOJ alleging violations of the Animal Welfare Act at the Cumberland facility. The complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief and costs. A temporary restraining order was issued on May 21, 2022 and, following Envigo RMS’s announcement on June 13, 2022 of its plans to permanently decommission the Cumberland facility, a preliminary injunction was issued on June 17, 2022. On July 15, 2022, the court approved a settlement entered into by Envigo RMS, the DOJ and the USDA on the civil case, which also comprises USDA’s administrative claims against Envigo RMS for the Cumberland facility. The settlement does not require that Envigo RMS pay any fines or penalties to any governmental agencies. In addition, it is expressly stated that the settlement is not an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Envigo RMS with regard to its past operation of the Cumberland facility. The settlement incorporates the transfer plan that was mutually agreed to by the DOJ and Envigo RMS on July 1, 2022 (the “Transfer Plan”), and it concludes all related civil and administrative complaints related to the Cumberland facility. As of the filing date of this Report, the Transfer Plan was still being executed by all parties involved. After the Transfer Plan is fully executed, in accordance with the settlement, Envigo RMS will refrain from any operations requiring a USDA license at the Cumberland facility. In addition, the settlement requires that the DOJ and USDA move to dismiss the civil and administrative complaints with prejudice seven days after all the canines vacate the Cumberland facility pursuant to the Transfer Plan.
On June 15, 2021, Envigo Global Services, Inc. (“EGSI”), a subsidiary of the Company acquired in the Envigo acquisition, received a grand jury subpoena requested by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (“USAO-FL”) for the production of documents related to the procurement of non-human primates (“NHPs”) from foreign suppliers for the period January 1, 2018 through June 1, 2021. The subpoena relates to an earlier grand jury subpoena requested by the USAO-FL and received by EGSI’s predecessor entity, Covance Research Products, in April 2019. Envigo acquired EGSI from Covance, Inc. (“Covance”), a subsidiary of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, in June 2019. The EGSI transaction agreement provides for indemnification of Envigo and its officers, directors and affiliates by Covance for any liabilities arising out of or related to the USAO-FL’s investigation in connection with the subpoena to Covance Research Products, as well as certain other matters, subject to an overall indemnification limit for the investigation and certain other matters of $5,500.
On January 27, 2022, EGSI acquired OBRC, which owns and operates a primate quarantine and holding facility located near Alice, Texas. In 2019, OBRC received grand jury subpoenas requested by the USAO-FL requiring the production of documents and information related to its importation of NHPs into the United States. On June 16, 2021, OBRC received a grand jury subpoena
36
requested by the USAO-FL requiring the production of documents related to the procurement of NHPs from foreign suppliers for the period January 1, 2018 through June 1, 2021. The OBRC purchase agreement provides for indemnification of EGSI and its officers, directors and affiliates by the seller, Orient Bio, Inc., for liabilities resulting from actions, inactions, errors or omissions of Orient Bio, Inc. or OBRC related to any period prior to the closing date. Consistent with Company policy, the Company is cooperating with USAO-FL.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Protypia, Inc. (“Protypia”), which is a strategic element of the Company’s expansion of its mass spectrometry-based bioanalytical offerings providing for the acquisition by the Company of all of the outstanding stock of Protypia on that date. Consideration for the Protypia stock consisted of $9,640 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, $600 in seller notes and 75,000 common shares having a value of approximately $806 based on the opening stock price of the Company’s common shares as reported by Nasdaq on the closing date.
On July 27, 2022, Envigo RMS entered into a Purchase Agreement for the sale of the Dublin facility. The sale is expected to close in first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company does not expect any material gain or loss as a result of the sale.

Recent Developments and Executive Summary
Since the start of fiscal 2022, we have continued our momentum building Inotiv into a comprehensive provider of preclinical drug discovery and safety assessment services through our strategic acquisitions of Plato, ILS, Histion, Protypia and our collaboration with Synexa Life Sciences. Plato brings us important new in vivo pharmacology capabilities, ILS complements our BioReliance® assets and accelerates the buildout of our genetic toxicology offerings as well as expanding our general rodent toxicology capacity, the partnership with Synexa Life Sciences enhances our large molecule bioanalysis and biomarker platform, Histion accelerates our development and growth into the highly-specialized plastics and medical device histopathology business and Protypia enhances our ability to support clients in the development of safe and effective medicines, particularly in the areas of immuno-oncology and cell and gene therapy by bringing bioanalytical capability to solid tissue specimens. Over the last few years, we’ve significantly broadened and scaled our DSA business, enabling one-stop-shop preclinical programs and quicker speed to market, positioning Inotiv as a primary contract research provider for our growing client base.
The transformative acquisition of Envigo, which closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, established the foundation of our new Research Models and Services business, or RMS, which we consider critical to the discovery and development business. Through Envigo, we secured access to critical research models essential for our clients’ success, further differentiating Inotiv from many of our peers. Following the Envigo acquisition, we took steps to leverage our existing RMS capacity with the acquisition of RSI’s rabbit breeding business and the acquisition of OBRC’s non-human primate facilities. In an environment during which global research model demand outstrips supply, these moves mitigate potential supply bottlenecks as we pursue a multitude of cross-selling and growth opportunities across our integrated services.
Our results for the third quarter were above our expectations at the point of our growth, integrations and development. We continued to expand our portfolio of services, including genetic toxicology and protein/peptide bioanalytics, progressed on our enterprise-wide capacity expansion initiatives in North America and Europe, and furthered our investments in our internal processes, equipment, and personnel to better meet growing client demand and quoting activity for our pre-clinical services. We remain steadfast
38
in our commitment to develop, enhance, and tailor Inotiv’s programs and services to help support our clients in developing safe and effective medicines.

Business Overview
As a result of the strategic Envigo acquisition, which added a complementary research model platform, our full spectrum solutions now span two segments: DSA and RMS.
DSA
Our DSA segment specializes in providing nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services to the pharmaceutical, governmental, academic and medical device industries, and sells analytical instruments to the pharmaceutical
39
development and contract research industries. Our mission is to focus on bringing new drugs and medical devices through the discovery and preclinical phases of development, all while increasing efficiency, improving data, and reducing time and cost of taking new drugs to market. Inotiv is committed to supporting discovery and development objectives as well as helping researchers realize the full potential of their critical research and development projects, all while working together to build a healthier and safer world. Our strategy is to provide services that will generate high-quality and timely data in support of new drug and product approval or expand their use. Our clients and partners include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biomedical device, academic and government organizations. We believe that we offer an efficient, variable-cost alternative to our clients’ internal drug and product development programs. Outsourcing development work to reduce overhead and speed product approvals through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory authorities is an established alternative to in-house product development efforts. We derive our revenues from sales of our research services and instruments, both of which are focused on evaluating drug and product safety and efficacy. We have been involved in the research of drug and products to treat diseases in numerous therapeutic areas for over 47 years since our formation as a corporation organized in Indiana in 1974, under the name Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. On March 18, 2021, we changed our name from Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. to Inotiv, Inc.
We support both the non-clinical and clinical development needs of researchers and clinicians for primarily small molecule drug candidates, but also provide services to biotherapeutics and device companies. Our scientists have the skills in analytical instrumentation development, chemistry, computer software development, pharmacology, histology, pathology, physiology, medicine, surgery, analytical chemistry, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology to make the services and products we provide increasingly valuable to our current and potential clients. Our principal clients are scientists engaged in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, drug safety evaluation, clinical trials, drug metabolism studies, pharmacokinetics and basic research from small startup biotechnology companies to the largest global pharmaceutical companies. We are committed to bringing scientific expertise, quality and speed to every drug discovery and development program to help our clients develop safe and effective life-changing therapies.
Developments within the industries we serve have a direct, and sometimes material, impact on our operations. Currently, many large pharmaceutical companies have major "blockbuster" drugs that are nearing the end of their patent protections. This puts significant pressure on these companies to discover, acquire or develop new drugs with large market opportunity, and to re-evaluate their cost structures and the time-to-market of their products. Contract research organizations have benefited from these developments, as the pharmaceutical industry has turned to outsourcing to both reduce fixed costs and to increase the speed of research and data development necessary for new product applications. The number of significant drugs that have reached or are nearing the end of their patent protection has also benefited the generic drug industry. Generic drug companies provide a significant source of new business for CROs as they develop, test and manufacture their generic compounds.
RMS
Our RMS segment breeds, imports and sells research-quality animal models for use in laboratory tests, manufactures and sells standard and custom laboratory animal diets, distributes bedding and enrichment products, and provides other services associated with these products. We are the second largest commercial provider of research models and services globally, and our predecessors have been supplying research models since 1931. With over 130 different species and strains, we are a global leader in the production and sale of the most widely used rodent research model strains, among other species. We maintain production facilities, including barrier and isolator facilities, in the U.S., U.K., mainland Europe, and Israel.

DSA revenue increased $26.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The acquisitions of HistoTox Labs, Bolder BioPATH, BioReliance, Gateway Laboratories, Plato and ILS, along with revenue from the acquisition of (“Histion”), added $5.4 million of incremental service revenue, and internal growth generated $20.9 million of additional service revenue in our DSA segment during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
DSA operating income increased by $9.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher revenues as a result of favorable pricing and our investments in the DSA business designed to increase margins and capacity to enhance our ability to meet growing customer demand. Additionally, operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses from the overall growth in the business as a result of acquisitions and internal growth, which included increased startup costs. Amortization of intangibles increased year over year primarily as a result of additional acquired intangible assets since June 30, 2021.

RMS revenue was $123.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The acquisitions of Envigo, RSI and OBRC added $81.4 million of incremental revenue based upon the baseline revenue prior to the acquisitions, and internal growth generated $42.0 million of additional revenue in our RMS segment during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Prior to the acquisition of Envigo, we did not have an RMS business.
RMS operating income was $11.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, which primarily consisted of cost of revenues inclusive of $3.8 million of non-cash inventory step-up amortization, selling and general and administrative expenses for the acquired Envigo and OBRC businesses, integration costs, including change in control charges, and restructuring costs related to the closure of our Dublin facility and Cumberland facility.

Unallocated corporate costs consist of selling and general and administrative and other operating expenses that are not directly related or allocated to the reportable segments. The increase in unallocated corporate costs of $14.7 million, compared to the corresponding period in 2021 was primarily related to increased costs associated with increased stock based compensation expense, additional headcount, recruiting and relocation expense, higher compensation expense, and acquisition and integration costs. Costs as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 11.8% compared to 24.5% for the corresponding period in 2021.
Other Expense
Other expense increased by $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense increased $8.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the additional debt obtained in connection with the acquisitions of Envigo, ILS and OBRC. The increase in interest expense was offset by an increase in other income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of a gain on foreign exchange rates. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company was not subject to foreign exchange risk.

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were (10.6)% and 221.0%, respectively. The (expense) benefit recorded for each period was $(0.3) million and $4.8 million, respectively. The income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022 relates to an increase in unfavorable permanent items and discrete adjustments. The benefit from income taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2021 related primarily to a discrete change in valuation allowance resulting from the Bolder BioPATH acquisition in the quarter.
Consolidated net (loss) income
As a result of the above described factors, we had a consolidated net loss of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to consolidated net income of $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

DSA revenue increased $61.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The acquisitions of HistoTox Labs, Bolder BioPATH, Gateway Laboratories, Plato, ILS and Histion added $24.0 million of incremental service revenue and internal growth generated $37.6 million of additional service revenue in the DSA segment during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
DSA operating income increased by $11.9 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher revenues as a result of favorable pricing and our investments in the DSA business designed to increase margins and capacity to enhance our ability to meet growing customer demand. Additionally, operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses from the overall growth in the business as a result of acquisitions and internal growth, which included in startup costs. Amortization of intangibles increased year over year primarily as a result of additional acquired intangible assets since June 30, 2021.

RMS revenue was $276.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The acquisitions of Envigo, RSI and OBRC added $209.6 million of incremental revenue based upon the baseline revenue prior to the acquisitions, and internal growth generated
43
$66.5 million of additional revenue in the RMS segment during the nine months ended June 30, 2022. RMS revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 reflected one partial and two full quarter contributions from Envigo, which was acquired on November 5, 2021, and one partial and one full quarter of contribution from OBRC, which was acquired on January 27, 2022. Prior to the acquisition of Envigo, we did not have an RMS business.
RMS operating income was $34.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2022, which primarily includes cost of revenue, selling and general and administrative expenses for the ongoing business, acquisition costs, integration costs, including change in control charges, and restructuring costs related to the closure of our Dublin facility and Cumberland facility. Furthermore, RMS operating income included improved margins on a favorable mix of sales of research models, but were partially offset by $10.0 million of non-cash inventory step-up amortization in the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Operating loss % of total revenue | 19.8 | % | 22.5 | % |
Unallocated corporate costs consist of selling and general and administrative and other operating expenses that are not directly related or allocated to the reportable segments. The increase in unallocated corporate costs of $65.1 million, compared to the corresponding period in 2021, was primarily related to increased costs associated with additional headcount, recruiting and relocation expense, higher compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs and post combination non-cash stock compensation expense relating to the adoption of the Envigo Equity Plan recognized in connection with the Envigo acquisition of $23.0 million. Unallocated corporate costs as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was 19.8%, compared to 22.5% for the corresponding period in 2021.
Other Expense
Other expense increased by $77.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to the $56.7 million of fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes issued in September 2021. For additional information, see “Capital Resources – Convertible Senior Notes” below. There was also an increase in interest expense of $19.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the increased debt balance as a result of the additional debt obtained in connection with the acquisitions of Envigo, ILS and OBRC.

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 5.6% and 147.4%, respectively. The benefit recorded for each period was $5.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The benefit from income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 primarily relates to a release of valuation allowance due to deferred tax liabilities established as part of the acquisition of Envigo, as well as, the impact on tax expense of certain permanent book to tax differences on the deductibility of transaction costs, loss on fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes, compensation, and other permanent items. The benefit from income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 related primarily to a discrete change in valuation allowance resulting from the Bolder BioPATH acquisition on May 3, 2021.
Consolidated net (loss) income
As a result of the above described factors, we had a consolidated net loss of $93.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to consolidated net income of $1.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe our primary sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund our short-term and long-term existing and planned capital requirements, which include working capital obligations, capital expenditures, business development in our targeted areas, short-term and long-term debt obligations which include principal and interest payments, operating lease payments, costs associated with the integrations of our acquisitions. In addition, we have the ability to access capital markets to obtain debt refinancing for longer-term funding, if required, to service our long-term debt obligations. Further, we believe we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to remain in compliance with our debt covenants.
Comparative Cash Flow Analysis
At June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million, compared to $138.9 million at September 30, 2021, exclusive of restricted cash.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(5.4) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Contributing factors to our cash used in operations in the nine months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily driven by a net loss of $(93.6) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and further decreased due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(34.5) million, most notably an increase in trade receivables and contract assets, inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by increases in fees invoiced in advance and accounts payable. The net decrease in cash from operating activities was partially offset by a net increase in noncash charges of $122.8 million. Changes in noncash charges included, but are not limited to, $56.7 million for loss on fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes, $31.9 million for depreciation and amortization, $22.3 million for non-cash stock compensation expense, changes in deferred taxes of $(8.4) million, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $1.9 million, non-cash amortization of inventory fair value step-up of $10.0 million and non-cash restructuring costs related to the exit of the Dublin and Cumberland sites of $3.0 million.
Contributing factors to our cash provided by operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 were noncash charges of $4.1 million for depreciation and amortization, $1.0 million for stock compensation expense, a change in deferred taxes of $4.9 million, and a net increase in customer advances of $7.5 million, as a result of increasing orders and the acquisitions of HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH. These items were partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in accounts payable and an increase of $1.6 million in accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities of $318.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was due mainly to $287.1 million paid in the acquisitions of Plato, Envigo RSI, ILS, OBRC and Histion and capital expenditures of $31.3 million. The capital additions during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of investments in facility improvements, site expansions, enhancements to laboratory technology, and system enhancements to improve the client experience.
Net cash used in investing activities of $49.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was due mainly to cash paid in acquisitions of $40.7 million and capital expenditures of $8.4 million, which consisted of the purchase of our St. Louis facility, facility improvements in Ft. Collins and investments in laboratory equipment.
Financing activities provided $189.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $64.3 million provided in the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The cash provided in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 included borrowings on the senior term notes of $205.0 million, which consisted of $165.0 million related to the term loan facility used in the Envigo acquisition and
45
$40.0 million related to the Amendment (defined below), which was partially used in the OBRC acquisition and partially used to repay the revolving loan facility borrowings, and included the Initial DDTL (defined below) borrowings of $35.0 million, which was used in the ILS acquisition, partially offset by payments of long-term borrowings of $37.8 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $10.1 million.
Financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 included proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $49.0 million and borrowings on long-term loans of $17.1 million, partially offset by payments of long-term borrowings of $2.6 million, revolving credit facility of $1.3 million and debt issuance costs of $0.4 million.
Capital Resources
Credit Facility
On November 5, 2021, the Company, certain of the subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in the original principal amount of $165.0 million, a delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35.0 million (available to be drawn up to 18 months from the date of the Credit Agreement), and a revolving loan facility in the original principal amount of $15.0 million. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate combined increase of the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility of up to $35.0 million, which amount will be available to be drawn once the delayed draw term loan facility is no longer available. On November 5, 2021, the Company borrowed the full amount of the term loan facility, but did not borrow any amounts on the delayed draw term loan facility or the revolving loan facility.
The Company may elect to borrow on each of the loan facilities at either an adjusted LIBOR rate of interest or an adjusted prime rate of interest. Adjusted LIBOR rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The LIBOR rate must be a minimum of 1.00%. The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate plus 6.25%. Adjusted prime rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate plus a margin of between 5.00% and 5.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio. The initial adjusted prime rate of interest is the prime rate plus 5.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.82% through June 30, 2022.
The Company must pay (i) a fee based on a percentage per annum equal to 0.50% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the revolving loan facility and (ii) a fee based on a percentage per annum equal to 1.00% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the delayed draw loan facility. In each case, such fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears.
Each of the term loan facility and delayed draw term loan facility require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.0% of their respective original principal amounts. The Company shall also repay the term loan facility on an annual basis in an amount equal to a percentage of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which percentage will be determined by its then current Secured Leverage Ratio. Each of the loan facilities may be repaid at any time with premium or penalty.
The Company is required to maintain an initial Secured Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.25 to 1.00. The maximum permitted Secured Leverage Ratio shall reduce to 3.75 to 1.00 beginning with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023 and to 3.00 to 1.00 beginning with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025. The Company is required to maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which ratio shall be 1.00 to 1.00 during the first year of the Credit Agreement and shall be 1.10 to 1.00 from and after the Credit Agreement’s first anniversary.
Each of the loan facilities is secured by all assets (other than certain excluded assets) of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Repayment of each of the loan facilities is guaranteed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Utilizing proceeds from the Credit Agreement on November 5, 2021, the Company repaid all indebtedness and terminated the credit agreement related to the First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”) credit facility and recognized an $0.9 million loss on debt extinguishment.
On January 7, 2022, the Company drew $35.0 million on the delayed draw term loan facility. The delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35.0 million is referred to herein as the “Initial DDTL”. Amounts outstanding under the Initial DDTL accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate of 1.00% plus 6.25% for a total rate of 7.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.49% through June 30, 2022.
First Amendment to Credit Agreement
46
On January 27, 2022, the Company, Subsidiary Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the existing Credit Agreement. The Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase to the existing term loan facility in the amount of $40.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loans”) and a new delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35.0 million, which amount is available to be drawn up to 24 months from the date of the Amendment (the “DDTL”). The Incremental Term Loans and any amounts borrowed under the DDTL are referred to herein as the “Additional Term Loans”. On January 27, 2022, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Incremental Term Loans, but did not borrow any amounts under the DDTL.
Amounts outstanding under the Additional Term Loans will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate of 1.00% plus 6.25% for a total rate of 7.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.82% through June 30, 2022.
The Additional Term Loans require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount. Voluntary prepayments of the Additional Term Loans will be subject to a 2% prepayment premium if made on or prior to November 5, 2022 and a 1% prepayment premium if made on or prior to November 5, 2023. Voluntary prepayments made after November 5, 2023 are not subject to a prepayment premium.
Each of the Additional Term Loans require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.0% of its respective original principal amounts. The Company shall also repay the term loans on an annual basis in an amount equal to a percentage of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which percentage will be determined by its then current Secured Leverage Ratio.
The Additional Term Loans are secured by all assets (other than certain excluded assets) of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Repayment of the Additional Term Loans is guaranteed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Additional Term Loans will mature on November 5, 2026.

Acquisition-related Debt
In addition to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have issued unsecured notes as partial payment of the purchase prices of certain acquisitions as described herein. Each of these notes is subordinated to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.
As part of the acquisition of Plato, which is a part of the Company’s Inotiv Boulder subsidiary, Inotiv Boulder, LLC, the Company issued unsecured subordinated promissory notes payable to the former shareholders of Plato in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest and a maturity date of June 1, 2023.
47
As part of the acquisition of OBRC, the Company agreed to leave in place a payable owed by OBRC to the seller in the amount of $3.7 million, which the Company determined to have a fair value of $3.3 million as of January 27, 2022. The payable does not bear interest and is required to be paid to seller on the date that is 18 months after the closing date of January 27, 2022. The Company has the right to set off against the payable any amounts that become payable by the seller on account of indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement.
As part of the acquisition of Histion, LLC (“Histion”) which is a part of the Company’s subsidiary, Bronco Research Services, LLC, the Company issued unsecured subordinated promissory notes payable to the former shareholders of Histion in an aggregate principal amount of $0.4 million. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest and a maturity date of April 1, 2025.
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 27, 2021, the Company issued $140.0 million principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of September 27, 2021, among the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, BAS Evansville, Inc., as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the initial purchaser of the Notes, the Company granted the initial purchaser an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes were first issued, up to an additional $15.0 million principal amount of the Notes. The Notes issued on September 27, 2021 included $15,000 principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the full exercise by the initial purchaser of such option. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Envigo acquisition and related fees and expenses.
The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior, unsecured basis, by the Guarantor.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2022. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before April 15, 2027, noteholders have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after April 15, 2027, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, its common shares or a combination of cash and its common shares, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 1.7162 common shares per $1.0 million principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $46.05 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole and not in part, at the Company’s option at any time on or after October 15, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per common share of the Company exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price is a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling the Notes for redemption pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which will result in an increase to the conversion rate in certain circumstances for a specified period of time.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common shares.
48
The Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, are subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) the Company’s failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iii) the failure by the Company or the Guarantor to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the ability of the Company or the Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (iv) a default by the Company or the Guarantor in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (v) certain defaults by the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $20.0 million; (vi) the rendering of certain judgments against the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries for the payment of at least $20.0 million, where such judgments are not discharged or stayed within 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired or on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective significant subsidiaries; and (viii) the guarantee of the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by the Indenture) or the Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its guarantee of the Notes.
If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company or the Guarantor (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% on the principal amount of the Notes.
In accordance with ASC 815, at issuance, the Company evaluated the convertible feature of the Notes and determined it was required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and did not qualify for equity classification. The convertible feature of the Notes is subject to fair value remeasurement as of each balance sheet date or until it meets equity classification requirements and is valued utilizing Level 3 inputs as described below. The discount resulting from the initial fair value of the embedded derivative will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Non-cash interest expense during the period primarily related to this discount.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred shares by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. As a result of the approval of the increase in authorized shares on November 4, 2021 (see Note 2 – Equity), the Note conversion rights met all equity classification criteria in ASC 815. As a result, the derivative liability was remeasured as of November 4, 2021 and reclassified out of long-term liabilities and into additional paid-in capital.
Based upon the above, the Company remeasured the fair value of the embedded derivative as of November 4, 2021 which resulted in a fair value measurement of $88.6 million and a loss on remeasurement included in other income (loss) for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 of $56.7 million. The embedded derivative liability of $88.6 million was then reclassified to additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 815.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates while conducting normal business operations as a result of ongoing financing activities. As of June 30, 2022, our debt portfolio was reliant on reference rates. Based on our interest rate exposure at June 30, 2022, assumed debt levels throughout the next 12 months, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates would result in an estimated $2.4 million pre-tax reduction in net earnings over a one-year period.
49
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We operate on a global basis and have exposure to some foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
While the financial results of our global activities are reported in U.S. dollars, our foreign subsidiaries typically conduct their operations in their respective local currency. The principal functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound and Israeli Shekel.
Fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the countries in which we do business will affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As the U.S. dollar strengthens against other currencies, the value of our non-U.S. revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows will generally decline when reported in U.S. dollars. The impact to net income as a result of a U.S. dollar strengthening will be partially mitigated by the value of non-U.S. expenses, which will decline when reported in U.S. dollars. As the U.S. dollar weakens versus other currencies, the value of the non-U.S. revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows will generally increase when reported in U.S. dollars.
A hypothetical 10% change in the foreign exchange rates applicable to our business would change our June 30, 2022 cash balance by approximately $0.8 million and our revenue by approximately $5.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed timely, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management is necessarily required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.
Management performs periodic evaluations to determine if our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, which resulted in a determination by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022.
On December 15, 2021, the Company's management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded that, due to a failure to properly account for certain tax attributes related to an acquisition that occurred in the Company's third fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company's previously issued unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (the "Original Quarterly Report") should no longer be relied upon. The Company’s management, together with the Audit Committee, determined that the Company’s financial statements and other financial data as of and for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 included in the Original Quarterly Report should be restated and the Company issued restated financials for the period in the Form 10-Q/A filed on December 21, 2021. In connection with the restatement, management reevaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 and concluded that, in light of the error described above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that certain of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021.

Management has begun and plans to continue to devote significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and to provide processes and controls over the research and understanding of the tax impact of acquisitions that qualify as stock transactions for tax purposes. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the tax impact of acquisitions that qualify as stock transactions for tax purposes. We plan to include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding the tax impact of acquisitions that qualify as stock transactions for tax purposes. We have re-assessed our non-audit third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding application of accounting guidance related to the tax issues and have engaged more experienced advisers. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. Management has performed an analysis of the consolidated tax process, identifying material risks and formalizing key controls to address the related material risks. Management is in the process of performing testing over these key controls and will continue into the fourth fiscal quarter. Until management has adequately tested the applicable key controls and confirmed that they are working as designed, management concluded that the same material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting and deficiency in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures that existed at September 30, 2021 continued to exist at June 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, including those disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” appearing in Item 1A of Part I of the Form 10-K, as well as the information contained in our subsequent Quarterly Reports. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in those risk factors. Realization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
The risks described in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q from time to time are not the only risks we face. New risk factors or risks that we currently deem immaterial emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact such risk factors might have on our business, financial condition and operating results, or the extent to which any such risk factor or combination of risk factors may impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
The risk factor in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 entitled “We are subject to periodic inspections by regulatory authorities which could lead to enforcement actions if those authorities determine that our facilities or procedures do not meet applicable requirements” is replaced in its entirety by the following:
We are subject to inspections, investigations and enforcement actions by regulatory authorities, which could lead to penalties, including substantial fines, warning letters, a temporary restraining order or injunction, civil and/or criminal penalties, and/or license suspension or revocation.
We are subject to periodic inspections by regulatory authorities, including the FDA and the USDA. As part of these inspections, the regulatory authorities seek to determine whether our facilities and operations comply with applicable laws and regulations. Adverse findings as a result of these inspections could lead to enforcement actions, including substantial fines, warning letters that require corrective action (including potential facilities improvement requirements), revocation of approvals, exclusion from future participation in government healthcare programs, criminal prosecution and even the denial of the right to conduct business. Envigo RMS’ Cumberland, VA facility has been the subject of inspections by the USDA, a search and seizure warrant executed by the DOJ and federal and state law enforcement agents, and a civil action by the DOJ that was subsequently settled. Further, certain
51
employees also received a grand jury subpoena requested by the USAO-VA. For further information on these and other actions, see Note 15 – Contingencies of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Inspections, investigations and/or other actions could result in penalties that could include a temporary restraining order or injunction, civil and/or criminal penalties, and/or license suspension or revocation. The imposition of any of these penalties or other restrictions on our business could adversely affect our business reputation and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price.
