SEASPINE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
SeaSpine Holdings Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on February 12, 2015. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to "SeaSpine" or the "Company" refer to SeaSpine Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
SeaSpine is a global medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of surgical solutions for the treatment of patients suffering from spinal disorders. SeaSpine has a comprehensive portfolio of orthobiologics and spinal implant solutions to meet the varying combinations of products that neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons need to perform fusion procedures in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. The Company believes this broad combined portfolio of orthobiologics and spinal implant products is essential to meet the “complete solution” requirements of such surgeons.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual audited financial statements and should be read with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and statement of equity for periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Under current SEC rules, generally, a company qualifies as a "smaller reporting company" if it has a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter. If a company qualifies as a smaller reporting company on that date, it may elect to reflect that determination and use the smaller reporting company scaled disclosure accommodations in its subsequent SEC filings until the beginning of the first quarter of the fiscal year following the date it determines it does not qualify as a smaller reporting company. The Company's public float as of June 30, 2020, the last business day of its most recent second fiscal quarter, was less than $250 million, and as such, the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company, elected to reflect that determination and intends to use certain of the scaled disclosure accommodations in its SEC filings made during and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Concentration of Risk
On March 1, 2021, the Company and PcoMed, LLC (PcoMed) entered into a supply agreement (the Supply Agreement).
Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, PcoMed granted the Company a worldwide right to sell and commercialize any implantable spinal surgery interbody and/or intervertebral medical device designed and/or manufactured by or for the Company treated by PcoMed with certain proprietary PcoMed technology (Processed Parts) for use in spinal interbody and/or intervertebral surgical methods and procedures. The right is exclusive to the Company through January 14, 2022; thereafter, it will be non-exclusive. The Supply Agreement replaces and supersedes a prior supply agreement between the Company and PcoMed entered into in May 2013, which expired on January 15, 2021.
For the three months ending March 31, 2021 and 2020, the sales of products incorporating the NanoMetalene® technology provided under the Supply Agreement exceeded 10% of the Company's revenue.

SEASPINE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, PcoMed, which serves as the sole supplier of Processed Parts, will supply up to designated minimum amounts of Processed Parts per week and per month per the Company's request. In addition, if requested by the Company, PcoMed must use commercially reasonable efforts to supply Processed Parts in excess of those minimum amounts. The Company agreed to pay PcoMed (a) a low single digit royalty on a monthly basis on the Company's net sales of all Processed Parts, (b) a minimum processing fee for each contract year during the term of the Supply Agreement, payable in four equal quarterly installments, which offsets on a dollar-for-dollar basis the processing fees the Company would otherwise pay for Processed Parts each contract year and (c) additional processing fees payable monthly based on the number and type of Processed Parts supplied by PcoMed.
The Supply Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations on the part of both parties. Each of the Company and PcoMed retain the rights to their respective intellectual property. The Supply Agreement may be terminated by the Company or PcoMed for cause in the event of an uncured material default or breach or a bankruptcy or similar proceeding. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms, the term of the Supply Agreement is March 1, 2021 through January 14, 2024. During the term of the Supply Agreement, PcoMed agreed not to enter into any agreement or consummate any transaction with any third party relating to a change in control of PcoMed without first affording the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement, the opportunity to negotiate for the acquisition of PcoMed.
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Cash balances are maintained primarily at major financial institutions in the United States and exceed the regulatory limit of $250,000 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its cash balances.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
Preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and other credits, net realizable value of inventories, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of identifiable intangible and long-lived assets, assumptions related to the timing and probability of product launch dates, discount rates matched to the estimated timing of payments, probability of success rates and discount adjustments on the related cash flows for contingent considerations in business combinations, depreciation and amortization periods for identifiable intangible and long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including revenues, expenses, manufacturing, research and development costs and employee-related compensation, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of genetic variations of, or other information that may emerge concerning, COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. The Company has made estimates of the impact of the pandemic within its financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables, and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The FASB subsequently issued other related ASUs that amend ASU No. 2016-13 to provide clarification and additional guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued Update No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. This Update includes several amendments
10
SEASPINE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) intended to clarify, improve, or correct errors therein. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance. The amendments requiring transition guidance have the same effective date as Update No. 2016-13 and will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The amendments in this Update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The new standard was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this new standard had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate expected to be discontinued, due to the reference rate reform. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning March 12, 2020. The adoption of this new standard had no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share was calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares used to compute diluted net loss per share excludes any assumed issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, any assumed issuance of common stock under restricted stock awards or units, and any assumed issuances under the Company's employee stock purchase plan, because the effect, in each case, would be antidilutive. Common stock equivalents of 4.8 million and 4.1 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because of their antidilutive effect.
3. DEBT AND INTEREST
Credit Agreement
In December 2015, the Company entered into a -year credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which was amended in October 2016, in July 2018, and in July 2020 (as amended, the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility provides an asset-backed revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million with a maturity date of July 27, 2021, which is subject to a one-time, -year extension at the Company's election. In addition, under the Credit Facility, at any time through July 27, 2021, the Company may increase the $30.0 million borrowing limit by up to an additional $10.0 million, subject to the Company having sufficient amounts of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and to customary conditions precedent, including obtaining the commitment of lenders to provide such additional amount. In connection with entering into the Credit Facility, the Company was required to become a guarantor and to provide a security interest in substantially all its assets for the benefit of the counterparty.
There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 31, 2020. In March 2021, the Company borrowed $20.0 million under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2021, there was $20.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and the Company had $3.2 million of current borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility before the requirement to maintain the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as discussed below. As of March 31, 2021, the effective interest rate on the amounts borrowed was 4.50%. Debt issuance costs and legal fees related to the Credit Facility totaling $0.6 million were recorded as a deferred asset and are being amortized ratably over the term of the arrangement.
On April 19, 2021, the Company repaid the entire $20.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at the rate then applicable to base rate loans (as customarily defined), unless and until converted into LIBOR rate loans (as customarily defined) in accordance with the Credit Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating annual rate equal to (a) during any month for which the Company's average excess availability (as customarily defined) is greater than $20.0 million, (i) base rate plus 1.25 percentage points for base rate loans and (ii) LIBOR rate plus 2.25 percentage points for LIBOR rate loans, (b) during any month for which the Company's average excess availability is greater than $10.0 million but less than or equal to $20.0 million, (i) base rate plus 1.50 percentage points for base rate loans and (ii) LIBOR rate plus 2.50 percentage points for LIBOR rate loans and (c) during any month for which the Company's average excess availability is less than or equal to $10.0 million, (i) base rate plus 1.75 percentage points for base
11
SEASPINE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
rate loans and (ii) LIBOR rate plus 2.75 percentage points for LIBOR rate loans. The Company also pays an unused line fee based on the average amount borrowed under the Credit Facility for the most recently completed month. If such average amount is 25% or greater of the maximum borrowing capacity, the unused fee will be equal to 0.375% per annum of the amount unused under the Credit Facility, and if such average amount is less than 25%, the unused line fee will be equal to 0.50% per annum of the amount unused under the Credit Facility. The unused line fee is due on the first day of each month.
The Credit Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including prohibiting the Company from incurring indebtedness without the lender’s consent. The Credit Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 for the applicable measurement period, if the Company's Total Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Facility) is less than $5.0 million. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at March 31, 2021.
The Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of amounts due under the Credit Facility, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency, failure to comply with health care laws, violation of certain of the Company’s existing agreements, and the occurrence of a change of control. Under the Credit Facility, if an event of default occurs, the lender will have the right to terminate the commitments and accelerate the maturity of any loans outstanding.
Paycheck Protection Program
In April 2020, due to the economic uncertainty resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations and to support its ongoing operations and retain all employees, the Company applied for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The Company received a loan in the original principal amount of $7.2 million. The Company subsequently repaid $1.0 million of the loan. Under the terms of the PPP, subject to specified limitations, the loan may be forgiven if the proceeds are used in accordance with the CARES Act. The Company used the loan proceeds for purposes consistent with the terms of the PPP and has applied for forgiveness of the entire loan; however, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part. Any unforgiven portion of the loan is payable over five years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments until the date the lender receives the applicable forgiven amount from the Small Business Association.

5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. The cost of major additions and improvements is capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to operations as incurred. The cost of computer software obtained for internal use is accounted for in accordance with the Codification 350-40, Internal-Use Software.
The cost of purchased spinal instruments that the Company consigns to hospitals and independent sales agents to support surgeries is initially capitalized as construction in progress. The amount is then either reclassified to spinal instruments and sets, and depreciation is initiated when instruments are put together in a newly built set with spinal implants, or directly expensed for the instruments used to replace damaged instruments in an existing set. The depreciation expense and direct expense for replacement instruments are recorded in selling and marketing expense.

6. IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, generally using an income or cost approach. The Company capitalizes costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets and amortizes those costs over their expected useful lives.
Primarily as a result of an expected shift in future product revenue mix more toward a parallel expanding interbody device based on the Company’s internally developed technology and, in turn, lower future revenue anticipated for the lordotic expanding implant based on technology the Company acquired from N.L.T. Spine Ltd. (NLT) and NLT Spine, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NLT, the Company's estimated future net sales associated with those NLT product technologies decreased. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the ongoing value of the product technology intangible assets associated with the acquisition of these assets. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that intangible assets with a carrying amount of $1.6 million were no longer recoverable and were impaired, and the Company wrote those intangible assets down to their estimated fair value of $0.3 million at March 31, 2020. Significant estimates used in determining the estimated fair value include measurements estimating cash flows and determining the appropriate discount rate, which are considered Level 3 inputs under Codification 820.

7. EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Common Stock
In July 2020 and August 2020, the Company issued 100,100 shares and 75,585 shares of its common stock to NLT, respectively, as settlement of contingent milestone payments pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement entered into with NLT in August 2016.
In January 2020, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. and Canaccord Genuity LLC relating to the issuance and sale of 6,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price to the public of $12.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,020,000 shares of common stock. The underwriters exercised this option and the offering closed on January 10, 2020 with the sale of 7,820,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $92 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective on May 22, 2019.
Equity Award Plans
In May 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Incentive Award Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated with approval of the Company's stockholders. In February and March 2018, the Company's board of directors approved amendments to the plan that increased the share reserve by an aggregate of 2,726,000 shares over the then-existing share reserve thereunder, subject to stockholder approval. The Company's stockholders approved both amendments in May 2018. In April 2020, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the plan that, among other things, increased the share reserve by an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares over the then-existing share reserve thereunder, subject to stockholder approval. The Company's stockholders approved the amendment in June 2020 (the 2015 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated to date, the Restated Plan). Under the Restated Plan, the Company can grant its employees, non-employee directors and consultants incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, performance stock, dividend equivalent rights, stock appreciation rights, stock payment awards and other incentive awards. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Restated Plan is the sum of (1) the number of shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of the equity awards issued by the Company's former parent company prior to the spin-off that were converted into the Company's equity awards under the Restated Plan as of the date of the spin-off and (2) 9,735,500 shares of the Company's common stock in respect of awards granted under the Restated Plan. As of March 31, 2021, 3,023,406 shares were available for issuance under the Restated Plan.
In June 2018, the Company established the 2018 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the 2018 Inducement Plan). The terms of the 2018 Inducement Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the Restated Plan with these principal exceptions: (1) incentive stock options may not be granted under the 2018 Inducement Plan; (2) there are no annual limits on awards that may be issued to an individual under the 2018 Inducement Plan; (3) awards granted under the 2018 Inducement Plan are not required to be subject to any minimum vesting period; and (4) awards may be granted under the 2018 Inducement Plan only to those individuals and in those circumstances described below. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares are reserved under the 2018 Inducement Plan. As of March 31, 2021, 1,915,623 shares were available for issuance under the 2018 Inducement Plan. As a result of the approval of the amendment to the Restated Plan by the Company's stockholders in June 2020, no awards will be granted under the 2018 Inducement Plan in the future.
In August 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan (the 2020 Inducement Plan). The terms of the 2020 Inducement Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the 2015 Incentive Award Plan with four principal exceptions: (1) incentive stock options may not be granted under the 2020 Inducement Plan; (2) there are no annual limits on awards that may be issued to an individual under the 2020 Inducement Plan; (3) awards granted under the 2020 Inducement Plan are not required to be subject to any minimum vesting period; and (4) awards may be granted under the 2020 Inducement Plan only to those individuals and in those circumstances described below. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares are reserved under the 2020 Inducement Plan. As of March 31, 2021, 1,902,288 shares were available for issuance under the 2020 Inducement Plan.
Both the 2018 Inducement Plan and the 2020 Inducement Plan were adopted by the Company’s board of directors without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, awards under those plans may only be made to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member of the Company's board of directors or of any board of directors of any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a parent or subsidiary, if he or she is granted such award in

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
connection with his or her commencement of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and such grant is an inducement material to his or her entering into employment with the Company or such subsidiary.
Forfeiture Rate Assumptions
Stock-based compensation expense related to all equity awards includes an estimate for forfeitures. The expected forfeiture rate of all equity-based compensation is based on historical experience of pre-vesting forfeitures on awards and options by each homogeneous group of shareowners. For awards and options granted to non-executive employees, the forfeiture rate is estimated to be 13% and 14% annually for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There is no forfeiture rate applied to awards or options granted to non-employee directors or executive employees because their pre-vesting forfeitures are anticipated to be highly unlikely. As individual awards and options become fully vested, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted to recognize actual forfeitures.
Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock award and restricted stock unit grants to employees generally have a requisite service period of three years, and restricted stock award and restricted stock unit grants to non-employee directors generally have a requisite service period of one year. Both are subject to graded vesting. The Company expenses the fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units on an accelerated basis over the vesting period or requisite service period, whichever is shorter.
No restricted stock units were granted to non-employee directors during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. There were 4,021 restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors during the three months ended March 31, 2021. No restricted stock awards were granted to non-employee directors during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 384,585 and 346,487 restricted stock units were granted to employees, respectively. No restricted stock awards were granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.
As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $7.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portions of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.4 years.
Stock Options
Stock option grants to employees generally have a requisite service period of four years, and stock option grants to non-employee directors generally have a requisite service period of one year. Both are subject to graded vesting. The Company records stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options on an accelerated basis over the applicable vesting period within each grant and based on their fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. There were 533,863 and 681,759 stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value for options granted during the period indicated.

The Company considered that it has never paid, and does not currently intend to pay, cash dividends. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a remaining term similar to the expected term of the options. The expected volatility is calculated based upon the historical volatility of the Company's share prices. The expected term is calculated using the historical weighted average term of the Company’s options.
As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $5.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In May 2015, the Company adopted the SeaSpine Holdings Corporation 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was amended in November 2018, as described below (as amended, the ESPP). Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of eligible compensation during an offering period. Generally, each offering period will be for 24 months as determined by the Company's board of directors. There are four six-month purchase periods in each offering period for contributions to be made and to be converted into shares at the end of the purchase period. In no event may an employee purchase more than 2,500 shares per purchase period based on the closing price on the first trading date of an offering period or more than $25,000 worth of stock during any calendar year. The purchase price for shares to be purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the lesser of the market price of the Company's common stock on the first trading date of an offering period or on any purchase date during an offering period (June 30 or December 31).
Subject to stockholder approval, on and effective as of November 2, 2018, the Company's board of directors approved an amendment to the ESPP pursuant to which the share reserve under the ESPP would increase from 400,000 shares to 800,000 shares. The Company's stockholders approved that amendment in May 2019. On December 8, 2020, the Company's board of directors approved the issuance of an additional 500,000 shares of common stock under the ESPP, subject to stockholder approval. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the IRC). The ESPP contains a restart feature, such that if the market price of the stock at the end of any six-month purchase period is lower than the market price at the original grant date of an offering period, that offering period will terminate after that purchase date, and a new two-year offering period will commence on the January 1 or July 1 immediately following the date the original offering period terminated. This restart feature was triggered on the purchase date that occurred on June 30, 2020, such that the offering period that commenced on January 1, 2020 was terminated, and a new two-year offering period commenced on July 1, 2020 and will end on June 30, 2022. The Company applied share-based payment modification accounting to the awards that were initially valued at the grant date to determine the amount of any incremental fair value associated with the modified awards. The impact to stock-based compensation expense for modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was immaterial.
No shares of common stock were purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.2 million in expense related to the ESPP for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, 127,160 shares were available under the ESPP for future issuance.
The Company estimates the fair value of shares issued to employees under the ESPP using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value of shares under the ESPP at the grant date for the periods indicated:

8. LEASES
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company's leases primarily relate to administrative, manufacturing, research, and distribution facilities and various manufacturing, office and transportation equipment. Lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used as a discount rate, based on the information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease assets also include the impact of any prepayments made and are reduced by impact of any lease incentives.
The Company made an accounting policy election for short-term leases, such that the Company will not recognize a lease liability or lease asset on its balance sheet for leases with a lease term of twelve months or less as of the commencement date. Rather, any short-term lease payments will be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The current period short-term lease expense reasonably reflects the Company's short-term lease commitments.
17
SEASPINE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Company made a policy election for all classifications of leases to combine lease and non-lease components and to account for them as a single lease component. Variable lease payments are excluded from the lease liability and recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Additionally, lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option.
The Company’s lease portfolio only includes operating leases. As of March 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term of these operating leases was 5.1 years and the weighted average discount rate was 6.5%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, lease expense, which represents expense from operating leases, was $0.5 million.
A summary of the Company's remaining lease liabilities at March 31, 2021 are as follows:

Reported income tax expense rate | (0.2) | % | (0.3) | % |
The Company recorded a provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 primarily related to foreign and state operations.
In addition, for all periods presented, the pretax losses incurred by the consolidated U.S. tax group received no corresponding tax benefit because the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will be unable to realize the value of any resulting deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess its position in future periods to determine if it is appropriate to reduce a portion of its valuation allowance in the future.
On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, and modification to the net interest deduction limitations. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution, and selling rights and licenses granted to the Company, the Company agreed to pay royalties on sales of certain products sold by the Company. Except for the royalties paid to NLT, the royalties the Company paid are included as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business with respect to its products, its current or former employees, and its commercial relationships, some of which have been settled by the Company. In the opinion of management, such proceedings are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. However, it is possible that the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies.
The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. The amounts accrued are based on the full amount of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds, and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. While uncertainty exists, the Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
7D Surgical Acquisition
On March 22, 2021, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the Arrangement Agreement) with 7D Surgical Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (7D Surgical), Project Maple Leaf Acquisition ULC, an unlimited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Purchaser Sub), and Michael Cadotte and Joel Rose, as the 7D Surgical shareholders’ representatives.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Purchaser Sub will acquire all outstanding shares of 7D Surgical, including those 7D Surgical shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, and 7D Surgical shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Acquisition). The Acquisition will be effected by way of an arrangement pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
The Company agreed to acquire 7D Surgical for a total purchase price of US$110.0 million, consisting of US$27.5 million in cash and US$82.5 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Canadian-resident 7D Surgical shareholders may elect to receive in lieu of shares of the Company’s common stock, an equivalent number of Class B shares of Purchaser Sub (the Exchangeable Shares), which will be exchangeable on a 1:1 basis for shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary adjustments. The Company may require all outstanding Exchangeable Shares to be exchanged upon the occurrence of certain events and at any time following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition. While outstanding, holders of Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive dividends economically equivalent to the dividends declared by the Company with respect to the Company’s common stock, but will not be entitled to cast votes on matters for which holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to vote. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable pursuant to the Acquisition (including upon exchange of Exchangeable Shares) is expected to be 4,289,848, which number of shares was based on the volume-weighted average price for the ten trading day period ending on the date prior to execution of the Arrangement Agreement. The purchase price for the Acquisition is subject to customary adjustments for 7D Surgical’s transaction expenses, cash, indebtedness and working capital.
The Arrangement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of 7D Surgical, Purchaser Sub and the Company. The Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval of 7D shareholders at a special meeting expected to be convened by 7D Surgical, receipt of required regulatory and court approvals and third party consents, and other customary closing conditions. Approval of the Acquisition by the Company’s stockholders is not required. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2021. The Arrangement Agreement also provides customary termination rights to each of the parties.

11. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Segment Reporting
Management assessed its segment reporting based on how it internally manages and reports the results of its business to its chief operating decision maker. Management reviews financial results, manages the business and allocates resources on an aggregate basis. Therefore, financial results are reported in a single operating segment: the development, manufacture and marketing of orthobiologics and of spinal implants. The Company reports revenue in two product categories: orthobiologics and spinal implants. Orthobiologics products consist of a broad range of advanced and traditional bone graft substitutes that are designed to improve bone fusion rates following surgery. The spinal implant portfolio consists of an extensive line of products for minimally invasive surgery, complex spine, deformity and degenerative procedures. The Company attributes revenues to geographic areas based on the location of the customer.

SEASPINE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 2021, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co., Canaccord Genuity LLC, and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated relating to the issuance and sale of 4,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price to the public of $19.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 675,000 shares of common stock. The underwriters exercised this option and the offering closed on April 20, 2021 with the sale of 5,175,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $95 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay all of its outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Overview
We are a global medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of surgical solutions for the treatment of patients suffering from spinal disorders. We have a comprehensive portfolio of orthobiologics and spinal implant solutions to meet the varying combinations of products that neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons need to perform fusion procedures in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. We believe this broad combined portfolio of orthobiologics and spinal implant products is essential to meet the “complete solution” requirements of such surgeons.
We report revenue in two product categories: orthobiologics and spinal implants. Our orthobiologics products consist of a broad range of advanced and traditional bone graft substitutes designed to improve bone fusion rates following a wide range of orthopedic surgeries, including spine, hip, and extremities procedures. Our spinal implant portfolio consists of an extensive line of products to facilitate spinal fusion in degenerative, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and complex spinal deformity procedures.
Our U.S. sales organization consists of regional and territory managers who oversee a broad network of independent orthobiologics and spinal implant sales agents. We pay these sales agents commissions based on the sales of our products. Our international sales organization consists of a sales management team that oversees a network of independent orthobiologics and spinal implant stocking distributors that purchase products directly from us and independently sell them. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, international sales accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of our revenue, respectively. Our policy is not to sell our products through or to participate in physician-owned distributorships.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Our net revenue is derived primarily from the sale of orthobiologics and spinal implant products across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. Sales are reported net of returns, rebates, group purchasing organization fees and other customer allowances.
In the United States, we generate most of our revenue by consigning our orthobiologics products and by consigning or loaning our spinal implant sets to hospitals and independent sales agents, who in turn either deliver them to hospitals for a single surgical procedure, after which they are returned to us, or leave them with hospitals that are high volume users for multiple procedures. The spinal implant sets typically contain the instruments, disposables, and spinal implants required to complete a surgery. We ship replacement inventory to independent sales agents to replace the consigned inventory used in surgeries. We maintain and replenish loaned sets at our kitting and distribution centers and return replenished sets to a hospital or independent sales agent for the next procedure. We recognize revenue on these consigned or loaned products when they have been used or implanted in a surgical procedure.
For all other sales transactions, including sales to international stocking distributors and private label partners, we generally recognize revenue when the products are shipped and the customer or stocking distributor obtains control of the products. There is generally no customer acceptance or other condition that prevents us from recognizing revenue in accordance with the delivery terms for these sales transactions.
23
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily consists of the costs of finished goods purchased directly from third parties and raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products, plant and equipment overhead, labor costs and packaging costs. The majority of our orthobiologics products are designed and manufactured internally. The cost of human tissue and fixed manufacturing overhead costs are significant drivers of the cost of goods sold, and consequently our orthobiologics products, at current production volumes, generate lower gross margin than our spinal implant products. We rely on third-party suppliers to manufacture our spinal implant products, and we assemble them into surgical sets at our kitting and distribution centers. The cost to inspect incoming finished goods is included in the cost of goods sold. Other costs included in cost of goods sold include amortization of product technology intangible assets, royalties, scrap and consignment losses, and charges for expired, excess and obsolete inventory.
Selling and Marketing Expense
Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales commissions to independent sales agents, payroll and other headcount related expenses, marketing expenses, shipping, third-party logistics expenses, depreciation of instrument sets, instrument replacement expense, and cost of medical education and training.
General and Administrative Expense
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and other headcount related expenses and expenses for information technology, legal, human resources, insurance, finance, and management. We also record gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities in general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development Expense
Our research and development (R&D) expenses primarily consist of expenses related to the headcount for engineering, product development, clinical affairs and regulatory functions, as well as consulting services, third-party prototyping services, outside research and clinical studies activities, and materials, production and other costs associated with development of our products. We expense R&D costs as they are incurred.
While our R&D expenses fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of specific initiatives, we expect these costs will increase over time as we continue to design and commercialize new products and expand our product portfolio, add related personnel and conduct additional clinical activities.
Intangible Amortization
Our intangible amortization, including the amounts reported in cost of goods sold, consists of acquisition-related amortization. We expect total annual amortization expense (including amounts reported in cost of goods sold) to be approximately $4.3 million in 2021, $4.2 million in 2022, $3.5 million in 2023, $1.6 million in 2024 and $0.2 million in 2025. See “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020-Impairment of Intangible Assets,” below.
COVID-19 Pandemic - Impact on our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world and has materially and adversely affected our business. We continue to closely monitor developments related to the pandemic and our decisions will continue to be driven by the health and well-being of our employees, our distributor and surgeon customers, and their patients while maintaining operations to support our customers and their patients in the near-term.
•Surgery Deferrals: From late March 2020 to mid-May 2020, among other impacts on our business related to the pandemic, surgeons and their patients deferred surgical procedures in which our products otherwise could have been used. This decrease in demand for our products recovered to varying degrees beginning in the latter half of May as local conditions improved in certain geographies that opened after an initial improvement in COVID-19 infection rates, allowing patients to resume receiving their treatments, though demand was below pre-pandemic levels for various periods during 2020 and was below pre-pandemic levels in early 2021. We expect to see continued volatility throughout 2021 and possibly thereafter as geographies respond to current local conditions. The duration of deferrals of surgical procedures, the magnitude of such deferrals, the timing and extent of the economic impact of the pandemic, and the pace at which the economy recovers therefrom, cannot be determined at this time. We continue to work closely with our surgeon customers,
24
distributors and suppliers to navigate through this unforeseen event while maintaining flexible operations and investing for future growth.
•Operations. Our sales, marketing and research and development efforts have continued since the outbreak of the pandemic, but steps we have taken in response to the pandemic have adversely affected our business. To protect the safety, health and well-being of our employees, distributor and surgeon customers, and communities, we implemented preventative measures including travel restrictions, the temporary closures of certain of our facilities, and requiring all office-based employees to work from home, except for those related to manufacturing, distribution and select others, as permitted under governmental orders. Production at our Irvine orthobiologics manufacturing facility was temporarily halted in April and May 2020 and was restarted in June 2020. The change in the manner in which our workforce is functioning could adversely affect sales and may delay the product launches we plan to make in 2021 and beyond.
Our manufacturing, distribution and supply chain has largely been uninterrupted, but could be disrupted as a result of the pandemic, including because of staffing shortages, production slowdowns, stoppages, or disruptions in delivery systems.
•Cost Containment: During 2020, we initiated actions to generate savings in areas such as travel, events, clinical studies, and consulting. We also implemented a temporary freeze on new hires and our senior leadership team voluntarily agreed to a 25% reduction in their base salaries from April 26, 2020 through June 20, 2020.
•Product Development: In the early stages of the pandemic, we reduced and/or delayed spending on several planned product development and launch initiatives. We have since increased our spending on product development activities and capital expenditures and inventory for product launches from the reduced levels during the early stages of the pandemic as our revenue and cash flow and demand for our products improved. We continue to evaluate the timing and scope of planned product development and launch initiatives and capital expenditures and inventory growth investments to support those initiatives. Based on that evaluation, we may delay and/or reduce additional spending associated with these initiatives, which may delay the product launches we plan to make in 2021 and beyond, and could adversely affect our future revenue growth or such growth may not be consistent with the timelines we anticipated previously.
•Outlook. At this time, the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy and will depend on future developments that are also uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy.
As of the filing date of this report, the extent to which the pandemic may impact our financial condition or results of operations or guidance is uncertain. The effect of the pandemic will not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods. For additional information on the various risks posed by the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations, please see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of the 2020 10-K.

Revenue from orthobiologics sales totaled $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.9 million or 10%, from the same period in 2020. Revenue from orthobiologics sales in the United States increased $1.7 million to $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was driven primarily by higher demand for our fibers-based demineralized bone matrix (DBM) products. Revenue from orthobiologics sales internationally, which can be volatile from quarter to quarter because of irregular ordering patterns from our stocking distributors, increased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Revenue from spinal implant sales was $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $4.0 million or 24%, from the same period in 2020. Revenue from spinal implants sales in the United States increased $4.0 million to $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was driven by higher demand for our recently launched products, particularly for those products that were initially or fully launched in 2020. The change in revenue from spinal implant sales internationally during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was immaterial.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
Cost of goods sold increased $1.6 million, to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Gross margin was 63.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 61.8% for the same period in 2020. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to increased sales in the United States of our higher gross margin spinal implant products and lower excess and obsolete inventory provisions in relation to revenue.
Cost of goods sold included $0.3 million of amortization for product technology intangible assets for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses increased $2.9 million to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was driven primarily by higher distributor commissions, as well as higher selling, customer service, and supply chain headcount and related expenses, which were partially offset by decreases in tradeshow and travel costs.
27
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, mostly due to $1.3 million of legal and other fees incurred related to our pending acquisition of 7D Surgical, as well as higher stock-based compensation expense.
Research and Development
R&D expenses increased $0.6 million to $4.5 million, or 11% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 mostly due to higher R&D headcount and related expenses.
Intangible Amortization
Intangible amortization expense, excluding the amounts reported in cost of goods sold for product technology intangible assets, remained consistent at $0.8 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
There was no impairment of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, impairment of intangible assets was $1.3 million. Primarily as a result of an expected shift in future product revenue mix more toward a parallel expanding interbody device based on our internally developed technology and, in turn, lower future revenue anticipated for the lordotic expanding implant based on technology we acquired from N.L.T. Spine Ltd. (NLT) and NLT Spine, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NLT, our estimated future net sales associated with those NLT Spine product technologies decreased. Accordingly, we evaluated the ongoing value of the product technology intangible assets associated with the acquisition of these assets. Based on this evaluation, we determined that intangible assets with a carrying amount of $1.6 million were no longer recoverable and were impaired, and we wrote those intangible assets down to their estimated fair value of $0.3 million.

We reported income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 primarily related to foreign and state operations.
In addition, for any pretax losses incurred by the consolidated U.S. tax group, we recorded no corresponding tax benefit because we have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that we will be unable to realize the benefit from any resulting deferred tax assets. We will continue to assess our position in future periods to determine if it is appropriate to reduce a portion of our valuation allowance in the future.
In March 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, and modification to the net interest deduction limitations. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Business Factors Affecting the Results of Operations
Special Charges
We define special charges as expenses for which the amount or timing can vary significantly from period to period, and for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude.
We believe that identification of these special charges provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Investors may find this information useful in assessing comparability of our operating performance from period to period, against the business model objectives that management has established, and against other companies in our industry. We provide this information to investors so that they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our core business and valuation.
Loss before income taxes includes the following special charges for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Other Matters
Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales return and other credits, net realizable value of inventories, amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, estimates of projected cash flows and discount rates used to value intangible assets and test them for impairment, estimates of projected cash flows and assumptions related to the timing and probability of the product launch dates, discount rates matched to the timing of payments, and probability of success rates used to value contingent consideration liabilities from business combinations, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, computation of taxes and valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, manufacturing, research and development costs and employee-related compensation, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of genetic variations of, or other information that may emerge concerning, COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. We have made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2020 10-K describe the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview, Capital Resources, and Capital Requirements
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling approximately $87.7 million, and $3.2 million of current borrowing capacity was available under our credit facility. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, including the net proceeds from the underwritten offering completed in April 2021, and the amount currently available to us under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In April 2020, due to the economic uncertainty resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and to support our ongoing operations and retain all employees, we applied for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). We received a loan in the original principal amount of $7.2 million. We subsequently repaid $1.0 million of the loan. Under the terms of the PPP, subject to specified limitations, the loan may be forgiven if the proceeds are used in accordance with the CARES Act. In October 2020, we applied for forgiveness of the entire loan. As of April 30, 2021, we have not learned the extent to which our loan will be forgiven. Any unforgiven portion of the loan is payable over five years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments until the date the lender receives the applicable forgiven amount from the SBA. No assurance is provided that we will obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part.
30
Credit Facility
We have a $30.0 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association which matures in July 2021, subject to a one-time, one-year extension at our election. In addition, at any time through July 27, 2021, we may increase the borrowing limit by up to an additional $10.0 million, subject to us having sufficient amounts of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and to customary conditions precedent, including obtaining the commitment of lenders to provide such additional amount. At March 31, 2021, we had $20.0 million outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. The borrowing capacity under the credit facility is determined monthly and is based on the amount of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances and qualified cash (as defined in the credit facility). Depending on the extent to which our eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances increase, our borrowing capacity could increase by as much as an additional $3.3 million from the $3.2 million available as of March 31, 2021 before we are required to maintain the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio as discussed below. The credit facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including prohibiting us from incurring indebtedness without the lender’s consent. In April 2020, we received the lender’s consent to obtain the PPP loan. Under the terms of the credit facility, if our Total Liquidity (as defined in the credit facility) is less than $5.0 million, we are required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 for the applicable measurement period. Our Total Liquidity was $88.4 million at March 31, 2021, and therefore that financial covenant was not applicable at that time.
On April 19, 2021, we repaid the entire $20.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.
Underwritten Offering
In January 2020, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. and Canaccord Genuity LLC relating to the issuance and sale of 6,800,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $12.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. We granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,020,000 shares of common stock. The underwriters exercised this option and the offering closed on January 10, 2020 with the sale of 7,820,000 shares of our common stock, resulting in proceeds of approximately $92 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
In April 2021, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co., Canaccord Genuity LLC, and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated relating to the issuance and sale of 4,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $19.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Under the terms of that agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 675,000 shares of common stock. The underwriters exercised this option and the offering closed on April 20, 2021 with the sale of 5,175,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $95 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable us.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $24.0 million compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $25.0 million of investments in U.S. Treasury Bills during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to no such investments for the same period in 2021, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in purchases of property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Cash provided by financing activities in 2021 was comprised primarily of $20.0 million borrowed under the Credit Facility and $0.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $2.4 million of cash used for tax payments we made on our employees' behalf for shares we withheld from such employees on the vesting of restricted stock awards to cover statutory tax withholding requirements. Net cash provided by financing activities was $90.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. It was comprised primarily of $91.6 million proceeds from issuance of common stock, net of offering costs, offset by $1.9 million of cash used for tax payments we made on our employees' behalf for shares we withheld from such employees on the vesting of restricted stock awards to cover statutory tax withholding requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our business.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
With the exception of our obligations under the arrangement agreement with 7D Surgical Inc., there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business to the contractual obligations disclosed in the 2020 10-K.
Information regarding the arrangement agreement with 7D Surgical Inc. is included in Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Notes in Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations, in part because of the insurance policies we maintain that cover certain of these claims, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or outcomes could occur that have individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. We are not currently subject to any pending material litigation, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, as described above.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of the 2020 10-K for a detailed discussion of the risks we face. Except as set forth below, the risk factors described in the 2020 10-K have not materially changed.
Risks Related to our Pending Acquisition of 7D Surgical Inc.
The pending acquisition of 7D Surgical Inc. (7D Surgical) may present many risks and we may not realize the strategic and financial goals that were contemplated at the time we entered into the arrangement agreement with 7D Surgical on March 22, 2021 (the Arrangement Agreement).
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, we will acquire all outstanding shares of 7D Surgical, including those 7D Surgical shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, and 7D Surgical will become our wholly owned subsidiary (the Acquisition).
Risks we may face in connection with the Acquisition and subsequent integration of 7D Surgical include:
•We may not realize the benefits we expect to receive from the Acquisition, such as a best-in-class enabling technology that provides surgeons a radiation-free navigational system that integrates seamlessly into the surgical workflow; gaining access to new accounts and/or increasing our presence in existing accounts by providing access to the 7D Surgical technology and/or placing systems at little or no upfront cost to the hospital through product earn-outs; expanding applications for the 7D Surgical offering, such as in minimally invasive procedures; and the ability of the 7D Surgical technology to position us to address the full patient continuum of care, from pre-operative imaging and surgical planning to post-operative plan confirmation and predictive analytics.
•The Acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expect, we may not successfully integrate 7D Surgical as planned, there could be unanticipated adverse impacts on our or 7D Surgical’s business, and/or we may otherwise not realize the expected return on our investment, which could adversely affect our business or operating results and potentially cause impairment to assets that we record as a part of the Acquisition, including intangible assets and goodwill.
•Our operating results or financial condition may be adversely impacted by (i) claims or liabilities related to 7D Surgical’s business arising after closing; (ii) unfavorable accounting treatment as a result of 7D Surgical’s practices; and/or (iii) intellectual property claims or disputes.
•7D Surgical was not required to maintain an internal control infrastructure that would meet the standards of a U.S. public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The costs that we may incur to implement such controls and procedures may be substantial and we could encounter unexpected delays and challenges in this implementation. In addition, we may discover significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of 7D Surgical’s financial and disclosure controls and procedures.
•We may fail to identify or assess the magnitude of certain liabilities, shortcomings or other circumstances prior to acquiring 7D Surgical, which could result in unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting treatment, a diversion of management’s attention and resources, and other adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
•The closing of the Acquisition could be delayed or not consummated, including in the event that closing conditions (such as the receipt of required regulatory approvals) are not satisfied or waived or we or 7D Surgical terminate the Arrangement Agreement.
34
The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
