On September 30, 2014, as part of the exclusive channel collaboration agreement with Intrexon (the “ECC”), the Company issued a promissory note to Intrexon in the amount of $10,000. The promissory note bore interest at 6.0% per annum. All principal and accrued interest was due and payable on the earliest to occur of the IPO, the maturity date of September 30, 2015, or the closing of a deemed liquidation event. The Company could elect to make payment either in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock in the event of an IPO or the closing of a deemed liquidation event. The note was classified in short term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet until it was converted with the accrued interest, upon completion of the Company’s IPO on December 3, 2014, into 918,206 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In November 2014, the Company authorized the issuance of convertible promissory notes to certain of its existing stockholders in a principal amount of up to $2,500 as part of a bridge financing.
