On October 9, 2020, Rezolute completed a private placement of its equity securities with gross proceeds of $41.0 million, which is considered a Qualified Financing event under the Third Amendment. The Qualified Financing resulted in acceleration of the remaining receivables of $1.4 million due from Rezolute, and the Company received the entire amount in October 2020. The Company reassessed the collectability of the outstanding receivables and determined that the bad debt allowance of $1.4 million remained appropriate as of September 30, 2020, as the Company assessed that the financing was not probable as of the balance sheet date and as such the Company continued to have an incurred loss with respect to the collection of the remaining receivable. The Company will recognize the $1.4 million as a reversal of bad debt expense in the fourth quarter of 2020.

As specified under the terms the License Agreement, the Company will receive $17.7 million in cash and the remaining balance of $7.3 million will be recognized as a reduction to the Company’s debt obligation to Novartis.
