The Directors do not believe that the merger between Motif BioSciences Inc. and Nuprim Inc. meets the definition of an acquisition of a business as set out in IFRS 3 and is therefore accounted for as an acquisition of an asset.
The fair value of the assets acquired under the merger arrangement represent the aggregate estimated value of:
· |
11,318,439 ordinary shares in Motif Bio plc at the placing price of 20 pence per share; |
· |
9,432,033 warrants at the placing price of 20 pence per ordinary share; and |
· |
a milestone payment of US $500,000 to be paid by Motif BioSciences Inc. to Acino Pharma AG upon completion of the first Phase III trial. |
The value of the warrants has been estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with appropriate factors for volatility and risk-free interest rate. The Directors considered the separable value of the active pharmaceutical ingredients and determined it did not constitute a material component of the fair value of the assets acquired. No discount has been applied to the expected milestone payment of US $500,000 given management’s expectation that the liability will be settled in early 2018.
