HYBRIDON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION
Hybridon, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware
on May 25, 1989. The Company is engaged in the discovery and development
of novel genetic medicines based primarily on antisense technology. The
Company is in the development stage. Since inception, the Company has
been engaged primarily in research and development efforts, development
of its manufacturing capabilities and organizational efforts, including
recruiting of scientific and management personnel and raising capital.
To date, the Company has not received revenue from the sale of
biopharmaceutical products developed by it based on antisense
technology. In order to commercialize its own products, the Company will
need to address a number of technological challenges and comply with
comprehensive regulatory requirements. Accordingly, it is not possible
to predict the amount of funds that will be required or the length of
time that will pass before the Company receives revenues from sales of
any of these products. All revenues received by the Company to date have
been derived from collaboration agreements, interest on investment funds
and revenues from the custom contract manufacturing of synthetic DNA and
reagent products by the Company's Hybridon Specialty Products Division.
As a result, although the Company has begun to generate revenues from
its contract manufacturing business, the Company is dependent on the
proceeds from possible future sales of equity securities, debt
financings and research and development collaborations in order to fund
future operations.
On May 5, 1998, the Company completed a private offering of equity
securities raising total gross proceeds of approximately $27.3 million
from the issuance of 9,597,476 shares of common stock, 114,285 shares of
Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase 2,657,219
shares of common stock at $2.40 per share. The gross proceeds include
the conversion of approximately $6.2 million of accounts payable,
capital lease obligations and other obligations into common stock. The
Company incurred approximately $2.6 million of cash expenses related to
the private offering and issued 597,699 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 1,720,825 shares of common stock at $2.40 per share
to the placement agents. The compensation received by Pillar, a company
affiliated with certain directors of the Company, with respect to the
offshore component of the private offering (Offshore Offering) consisted
of (i) 9% of gross proceeds of such Offshore Offering and (ii) a
non-accountable expense allowance equal to 4% of gross proceeds of such
Offshore Offering. Pillar received approximately $1.6 million and
warrants to purchase 1,111,630 shares of common stock at $2.40 per
share.
On February 6, 1998, the Company commenced an exchange offer to the
holders of the 9% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the 9% Notes) (see
Note 6) to exchange the 9% Notes for Series A convertible preferred
stock and certain warrants of the Company. On May 5, 1998, Noteholders
holding $48.7 million of principal and $2,361,850 of accrued interest
tendered such principal and accrued interest to the Company for 510,505
shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase
3,002,958 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $4.25 per
share. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting (SFAS)
No.15,
HYBRIDON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(Continued)
Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings,
the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $8.9 million
related to the conversion. The extraordinary gain represents the
difference between the carrying value of the 9% Notes and the fair value
of the Series A convertible preferred stock, as determined by the per
share sales price of Series A convertible preferred stock sold in the
private offering described above, and warrants to purchase common stock
issued by the Company.
(2) UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
interim period results. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes, however,
that its disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. The results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal
year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
The Company applies SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, in calculating
earnings per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share for the
periods presented is the same as basic net loss per share as the
inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be
antidilutive.
(4) CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company applies SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities. Under SFAS No. 115, debt securities that the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
recorded at amortized cost and are classified as held-to-maturity
securities. These securities include cash equivalents and restricted
cash. Cash equivalents have original maturities of less than three
months. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
consisted of the following:

(5) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE RELATED TO REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Under the terms of the Cambridge, Massachusetts building lease
(Cambridge Lease), the Company accounted for $5,450,000 of its payments
for a portion of the costs of construction of the leased premises as
contributions to the capital of the Cambridge landlord in exchange for a
limited partnership interest in the Cambridge landlord (the Partnership
Interest). Under the terms of the Partnership Interest, the Company has
the right at any time prior to February 2000 to sell the Partnership
Interest back to the other limited partners of the landlord. In April
1998, the Company exercised its right to sell back the Partnership
Interest. The contribution to the real estate partnership has been
classified as a current asset at June 30, 1998, since the Company
anticipates receiving payment within one year.
(6) 9.0% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
On April 2, 1997, the Company issued $50,000,000 of the 9% Notes. As
discussed in Note 1, on May 5, 1998 Noteholders holding $48.7 million of
principal value of the 9% Notes tendered such notes in exchange for
Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common
stock. In addition, $2,361,850 of accrued interest thereon was converted
into shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to
purchase common stock. As of June 30, 1998, there is $1.3 million of 9%
Notes outstanding. Under the terms of the 9% Notes, the Company must
make semi-annual interest payments on the outstanding principal balance
through the maturity date of April 1, 2004. If the 9% Notes are
converted prior to April 1, 2000, the
HYBRIDON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(Continued)
Noteholders are entitled to receive accrued interest from the date of
the most recent interest payment through the conversion date. The 9%
Notes are subordinate to substantially all of the Company's existing
indebtedness. The 9% Notes are convertible at any time prior to the
maturity date at a conversion price equal to $35.0625 per share, subject
to adjustment under certain circumstances, as defined.
Beginning April 1, 2000, the Company may redeem the 9% Notes at its
option for a 4.5% premium over the original issuance price, provided
that from April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001, the 9% Notes may not be
redeemed unless the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds
150% of the conversion price for a period of at least 20 out of 30
consecutive trading days and the 9% Notes redeemed within 60 days after
such trading period. The premium decreases by 1.5% each year through
March 31, 2003. Upon a change of control of the Company, as defined, the
Company will be required to offer to repurchase the 9% Notes at 150% of
the original issuance price.
(7) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure of all components
of comprehensive income on an annual and interim basis. Comprehensive
income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise
during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources. The Company's total comprehensive net income
(loss) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
were the same as reported net income (loss) for those periods.
In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 requires certain
financial and supplementary information to be disclosed on an annual and
interim basis for each reportable segment of an enterprise. SFAS No. 131
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Unless
impracticable, companies would be required to restate prior period
information upon adoption. The Company believes that the adoption of
SFAS No. 131 will not have a material impact on its financial results or
financial position.
(8) RESTRUCTURING
Beginning in July 1997, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to
reduce expenditures on a phased basis over the balance of 1997 in an
effort to conserve its cash resources. As a part of this restructuring
plan, the Company recorded an $11,020,000 restructuring charge in 1997
to provide for (i) the termination of certain research programs, (ii)
the abandonment of certain leased facilities (net of sublease income),
(iii) severance obligations to nearly 100 terminated

(Continued)
employees and (iv) the cancellation of certain other contracts. During
June 1998, the Company vacated the Cambridge, MA facility and moved its
corporate headquarters to Milford, MA.
The total cash impact of the restructuring amounted to approximately
$5,165,000. The total cash paid as of June 30, 1998 was approximately
$2,721,000 and the remaining amount will be paid in 1998.
(9) NOTE PAYABLE TO A BANK
In December 1996, the Company entered into a five year $7,500,000 note
payable with a bank. The note contains certain financial covenants that
require the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth and minimum
liquidity and prohibits the payment of dividends. The note is payable in
59 equal installments of $62,500 commencing on February 1, 1997 with a
balloon payment of the then remaining outstanding principal balance, due
on January 1, 2002. During 1997, the Company's minimum liquidity had
fallen below the required amount and the Company deposited $1,758,542 as
collateral under the cash pledge agreement. During 1998, the bank
withdrew the full amount of the restricted cash and applied it against
the outstanding balance of the note. The minimum liquidity requirements
were subsequently amended to provide that if as of the fifteenth and
last day of each calendar month the Company does not have minimum
liquidity of at least $8,000,000 or $4,000,000, as defined, the Company
will be required to immediately repay to the bank 35% and 100%,
respectively, of the then outstanding balance. Also, in connection with
the note, the Company issued five year warrants to purchase 13,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $34.49 per share. These
warrants were fully exercisable at December 31, 1997. As of June 30,
1998, approximately $4,611,000 was outstanding under the note, which is
classified as a current liability in the accompanying June 30, 1998
balance sheet. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company placed
approximately $1.6 million in escrow at the bank's request. In addition,
in August 1998 the $1.6 million will be applied against the outstanding
amount of the note. Also, upon the closing of the sale of the
Partnership Interest (see Note 5) the Company will be required to pay
down an additional $750,000 on the note.
(10) METHYLGENE, INC. LICENSING AGREEMENT
In January 1996, the Company and MethylGene, Inc. (MethylGene) (a
Canadian company which is over 30% owned by the Company) entered into a
licensing agreement for the purpose of researching and developing
compounds for the treatment of cancer and other indications. In May
1998, this agreement was amended to grant MethylGene a non-exclusive
right to use all and any antisense chemistries discovered by the Company
or any of its affiliates for a period commencing on May 5, 1998 and
ending on the earlier of (i) the effective date of termination by

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company is engaged in the discovery and development of genetic medicines
based on antisense technology. The Company commenced operations in February 1990
and since that time has been engaged primarily in research and development
efforts, development of its manufacturing capabilities and organizational
efforts, including recruitment of scientific and management personnel, and
raising capital. To date, the Company has not received revenue from the sale of
biopharmaceutical products developed by it. In order to commercialize its own
products, the Company will need to address a number of technological challenges
and comply with comprehensive regulatory requirements. Accordingly, it is not
possible to predict the amount of funds that will be required or the length of
time that will pass before the Company receives revenues from sales of any of
these products. All revenues received by the Company to date have been derived
from collaborative agreements, interest on invested funds and revenues from the
custom contract manufacturing of synthetic DNA and reagent products by the
Hybridon Specialty Products ("HSP") Division.
The Company has incurred cumulative losses from inception through June 30, 1998
of approximately $225.7 million. The Company implemented a restructuring plan in
the second half of 1997 which will significantly reduce the Company's operating
expenses and cost requirements in 1998 from 1997 levels. However, the Company
expects that its research and development expenses will continue to be
significant in 1998 and future years as it pursues its core drug development
programs and expects to continue to incur operating losses and have significant
capital requirements that it will not be able to satisfy with internally
generated funds. The Company continues to explore opportunities to reduce
operating expenses in an effort to conserve its cash resources. The number of
employees has continued to decline, through attrition, resulting in a total of
50 full time employees as of August 10, 1998. In connection with the ongoing
restructuring, the Company completed the relocation of its corporate
headquarters to Milford, Massachusetts, the site of the Company's HSP Division.
See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this
purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical
fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the
foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects", "intends",
"may", and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements. These factors include the matters set forth under
the heading "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Certain Factors that May Affect Future Results" in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997
(the "1997 10-K") which information is incorporated herein by reference.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had total revenues of $1,376,000 and $1,415,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $2,369,000 and $2,475,000 in the
six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Revenues from research and development
collaborations were $650,000 and $186,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, and $800,000 and $780,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Revenues for the three months ended June
30, 1998 increased primarily due to the Company receiving certain payments under
its License Agreement with MethylGene, Inc., an entity in which the Company has
an over 30% interest. Despite the increase in revenues for the full six months
ended June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the MethylGene payments, revenues
for the full six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were approximately the same
due to the cancellation of the Roche collaboration in 1997.
Product revenue from HSP was $682,000 and $728,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the mix
of products sold during the periods. Product revenue was $1,507,000 and
$1,076,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
increase was a result of an expansion in the customer base and increasing sales
to existing customers.
Interest income was $45,000 and $487,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, and $62,000 and $604,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in interest income is
attributable to the decrease in cash and investments held by the Company in 1998
as compared to 1997.
The Company had research and development expenses of $5,577,000 and $14,969,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $11,980,000
and $26,446,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The decrease in research and development expenses in 1998 reflects the Company's
restructuring commenced during the second half of 1997. The restructuring
included the discontinuation of operations at the Company's facilities in
Europe, termination of the clinical development of GEM 91 and the reduction or
suspension of selected programs unrelated to the Company's core advanced
chemistry antisense drug development program, including the termination of its
ribozyme program. The restructuring resulted in significant reductions in
employee-related expenses, clinical and outside testing, consulting, materials
and lab expenses. The Company's facility costs in 1998 were also reduced by the
income received from subleasing its unutilized facilities.
The Company had general and administrative expenses of $2,049,000 and $2,524,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $3,714,000
and $5,954,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses in 1998 resulted primarily
from the Company's restructuring program initiated during the second half of
1997 and its effect on employee-related expenses, consulting and net facilities
costs.
The Company had interest expense of $977,000 and $1,447,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $2,584,000 and $1,618,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in
interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 is mainly attributable
to the conversion of approximately $48.7 million of the 9% Convertible
Subordinated Notes ("the 9% Notes"), issued in the second
quarter of 1997, to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on May 5, 1998. The
increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is mainly
attributable to the first quarter's interest expense of the 9% Notes which were
originally issued in April 1997.
As a result of the above factors, the Company incurred losses from operations of
$7,226,000 and $17,525,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and $15,909,000 and $31,543,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company had extraordinary income of $8,877,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 resulting from the conversion of the 9% Notes to Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. See "Item 1 - Financial Statements -- Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements" for a discussion of the Company's
extraordinary income. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a
net income after extraordinary income of $1,650,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and reduced its net loss to $7,032,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's net cash used in
operating activities amounted to $12,914,000. The Company's operating cash
requirements were funded primarily through the utilization of existing cash,
proceeds from the Company's private placement described in Item 2 of Part II of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements in Item 1 hereof and the sale of excess equipment. In
addition, a portion of the Company's restricted cash was utilized to reduce the
related debt and capital lease obligations.
Based on its current operating plan (which includes the sale of its interest in
its former Cambridge headquarters (the "Cambridge Headquarters Facility"), and
certain sales of equipment and furniture (collectively, the "Sales")), the
Company believes that its existing capital resources, together with committed
collaborative research and development payments from G.D. Searle & Co., certain
research and development funding expected to be received from MethylGene, Inc.,
anticipated sales by the Company's HSP Division and anticipated margins on such
sales, and the anticipated net proceeds of the Sales, will be adequate to fund
the Company's capital requirements through 1998. The operating plan is based, in
part, on the assumption that the Company will be relieved of its obligations
under its lease for the Cambridge Headquarters Facility and that the Company
will receive funds from the sale of its limited partnership interest (the
"Limited Partnership Interest") in Charles River Building Limited Partnership,
the entity which owns the Cambridge Headquarters Facility (the "Cambridge
Landlord"), by the end of September 1998. The Cambridge Landlord is in the
process of both re-leasing the Cambridge Headquarters Facility to a third party
and selling the Cambridge Headquarters Facility and has advised the Company that
it expects to complete such transactions by such date.
The Company has the right at any time prior to February 2000 to require the
other limited partners in the Cambridge Landlord to purchase its Limited
Partnership Interest. In April 1998, the Company exercised this right and
anticipates receiving approximately $4,000,000 from such sale, which it expects
will be funded from the Cambridge Landlord's sale of the Cambridge Headquarters
Facility. In addition, the Company expects to receive its security deposit of
approximately $1,700,000 from the Cambridge Landlord. There can be no assurance
as to the timing of such receipt, although the Company has been informed that it
should receive such funds by September 1998.
The Company and Silicon Valley Bank have agreed in principle to amend their
credit agreement as follows: (i) the minimum liquidity and minimum tangible net
worth covenants will not be tested until the earlier of (x) September 30, 1998
and (y) the date of the Company's receipt of the sale proceeds of the Limited
Partnership Interest (the "Proceeds"); (ii) the minimum liquidity covenant will
be revised, including the removal of the $8,000,000 testing threshold, and (iii)
the Company will prepay $1,592,386 of the loan upon execution of the definitive
agreement and will prepay an additional $750,000 upon receipt of the Proceeds.
The Company expects to enter into such definitive agreement in the near future.
The Company will be required to raise substantial additional funds through
external sources, including through collaborative relationships and public or
private financings, to support its operations and except for research and
development funding from Searle (which is subject to early termination in
certain circumstances), certain research and development funding expected to be
received from MethylGene, Inc., and sale of DNA products and reagents
manufactured on a custom contract basis by the HSP Division, Hybridon has no
current external sources of capital, and, as discussed above, expects no product
revenues for at least several years from sales of products that it is
developing.
No assurance can be given that such additional funds will be available to fund
the Company's operations, or, if available, that such funds will be available on
acceptable terms. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities,
further dilution to then existing stockholders will result. Additionally, the
terms of any such additional financing may adversely affect the holdings or
rights of then existing stockholders.
If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to further
curtail significantly one or more of its core drug development programs, obtain
funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may
require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, product
candidates or products which the Company would otherwise pursue on its own or
terminate operations.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including
continued scientific progress in its research, drug discovery and development
programs, the magnitude of these programs, progress with preclinical and
clinical trials, sales of DNA products and reagents to third parties by the HSP
Division and the margins on such sales, the time and costs involved in obtaining
regulatory approvals, the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing
patent claims, competing technological and market developments, the ability of
the Company to establish and maintain collaborative academic and commercial
research, development and marketing relationships, the ability of the Company to
obtain third-party financing for leasehold improvements and other capital
expenditures and the costs of manufacturing scale-up and commercialization
activities and arrangements.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
- ------- -----------------------------------------
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued and sold
the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"):
I. Unregistered Offerings Pursuant to Section 4(2) Under the Securities Act
The securities issued in each of the following transactions were
offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act, relating to sales by an issuer not involving a
public offering. The securities issued in each of the following transactions
were offered and sold solely to persons who were "accredited investors" as that
term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(1) On May 5, 1998, the Company accepted $48,694,000 principal amount of
its 9% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2004 (the "9% Notes") tendered to the
Company in exchange for 510,505 shares of series A preferred stock (the "Series
A Preferred Stock") and warrants (the "Class A Warrants") to purchase 3,002,958
shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company (the "Exchange Offer"). As a result of the Exchange Offer, there is
$1,306,000 in principal amount of the 9% Notes outstanding.
Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, which commenced on February 6, 1998,
all tendering Noteholders received per $1,000 principal amount of the 9% Notes
(including accrued but unpaid interest on the 9% Notes) (i) 10 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock and (ii) Class A Warrants to purchase such number of shares of
Common Stock equal to 25% of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
into which the Series A Preferred Stock issued to such Noteholder pursuant to
the Exchange Offer would be convertible.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividends and liquidation
preference, senior to the Company's Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock
issued in this Exchange Offer and in the Preferred Stock Offering, as defined
below, will be convertible into an aggregate of 14,700,941 shares of Common
Stock, subject to adjustment, beginning May 5, 1999.
The Class A Warrants will be exercisable commencing on May 5, 1999 for
a period of four years thereafter at $4.25 per share of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment. The Class A Warrants are not subject to redemption at the option of
the Company under any circumstances.
1
The Exchange Offer was undertaken by the Company as part of the
Company's new business plan contemplating a restructuring of its capital
structure to reduce debt service obligations, a significant reduction in its
burn rate and an infusion of additional equity capital.
(2) On May 5, 1998, the Company closed a private placement (the
"Preferred Stock Offering") of (i) 114,285 shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
which sold at $70 per share, and (ii) class D warrants (the "Class D Warrants")
to purchase 672,273 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment,
for an aggregate amount of approximately $8 million.
The Class D Warrants will be exercisable commencing on May 5, 1999
until May 4, 2003 at $2.40 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment.
The Company retained Forum Capital Markets, LLC ("Forum") as a
placement agent of the Company in connection with the Preferred Stock Offering
in the United States. As of the date hereof, Forum has received as compensation
for its services as placement agent with regard to the Preferred Stock Offering
and its assistance with the Exchange Offer, 597,699 shares of Common Stock and
warrants to purchase 609,195 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $2.40 per
share, in each case subject to adjustment, until May 4, 2003. In addition, in
consideration of the agreements made by Forum consenting to the Company's 1998
private placements described below and waiving certain obligations of the
Company to Forum, the Company agreed to amend Forum's warrant dated as of April
2, 1997, to purchase up to 71,301 shares of Common Stock of the Company so that
the exercise price will be equal to $4.25 per share, and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise thereof will be increased to 588,235, in
each case subject to adjustment; provided, however, that such warrant will also
be amended to provide that such warrant may not be exercised until May 5, 1999
and the transactions contemplated by such private placements and by the Exchange
Offer will not trigger any anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price
thereof or the number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Preferred Stock Offering are
presently intended to be used for general corporate purposes, primarily research
and product development activities, including costs of preparing investigational
new drug applications and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials,
the payment of payroll and other accounts payable and for debt service required
under the Company's debt obligations. The amounts actually expended by the
Company and the purposes of such expenditures may vary significantly depending
upon numerous factors, including the progress of the Company's research, drug
discovery and development programs, the results of preclinical studies and
clinical trials, the timing of regulatory approvals, sales of DNA products and
reagents to third parties manufactured on a custom contract basis by the
Hybridon Specialty Products Division and margins on such sales, technological
advances, determinations as to the commercial potential of the Company's
compounds and the status of competitive products. In addition, expenditures will
also depend upon the establishment of collaborative research arrangements with
other companies, the availability of other financing and other factors. Under
certain circumstances, the Company may be required to use net proceeds to repay
indebtedness under its credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Silicon
Valley Bank Credit Facility").
2
(3) On May 5, 1998, the Company closed a private placement of units (the "Unit
Offering") consisting of (i) 2,754,654 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) class C
warrants (the "Class C Warrants") to purchase 788,649 shares of Common Stock,
subject to adjustment, which securities were issued in consideration of the
cancellation (or reduction) of accounts payable, capital lease and other
obligations aggregating $5,509,308.
The Class C Warrants are exercisable at $2.40 per share, subject to
adjustment from time to time, until May 4, 2003.
The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Unit Offering and the Common
Stock underlying the Class C Warrants are subject to a "lock-up" period ending
on May 5, 1999, except to the extent such securities are sold or transferred
pursuant to a Registration Statement. After the Company files a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act, 75% of each holder's Units and the
underlying securities will be subject to an additional "lock-up" for the first
three months following the effective date of the Registration Statement (the
"Effective Date"); thereafter, 50% of such securities will be subject to an
additional "lock-up" until six months following the Effective Date; and the
remaining 25% of such securities will be "locked-up" until nine months following
the Effective Date.
(4) On May 5, 1998, the Company sold to Dr. Paul Zamecnik 100,000 shares of
Common Stock and Class C Warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock,
subject to adjustment, for a purchase price of $200,000.
The net proceeds of this offering were used to reduce accounts payable,
capital lease and other obligations.
(5) On May 5, 1998, the Company issued to certain suppliers a total of
362,500 shares of Common Stock and Class C Warrants to purchase a total of
90,625 shares of Common Stock. These issuances were in consideration of (i)
payment to the Company of a total of $362.50, the par value of
all such issued Common Stock, and (ii) the subsequent furnishing of specified
services to the Company by each supplier. The extent to which the suppliers have
completed performing the specified services varies.
The Common Stock issued to Dr. Paul Zamecnik and to the certain
suppliers and the Common Stock underlying the Class C Warrants issued to such
persons are subject to a "lock-up" period ending on May 5, 1999, except to the
extent such securities are sold or transferred pursuant to a Registration
Statement. After the Company files a Registration Statement under the Securities
Act, 75% of each holder's Units and the underlying securities will be subject to
an additional "lock-up" for the first three months following the Effective Date;
thereafter, 50% of such securities will be subject to an additional "lock-up"
until six months following the Effective Date; and the remaining 25% of such
securities will be "locked-up" until nine months following the Effective Date.

II. Unregistered Offerings Pursuant to Regulation S Under the Securities
Act
The securities issued by the Company in the each of the following
transactions were offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from
registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, relating
to sales by an issuer in offshore transactions (the "Offshore Offerings"). The

2007 (the "14% Notes") and warrants (the "Equity Warrants") to purchase shares
of the Company's Common Stock (the "14% Note Offering"). The 14% Notes were
subject to both mandatory and optional conversion into shares of series B
preferred stock, under certain circumstances which, in turn, were convertible
into Common Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock").
On January 23, 1998, as part of the 14% Note Offering, the Company sold
$2,230,000 in principal amount of 14% Notes and Equity Warrants.

In each of the above closings, the 14% Notes were issued at face value.
(2) On May 5, 1998, the Company closed a private placement of 3,223,000
shares of Common Stock and class B warrants (the "Class B Warrants") to purchase
805,750 shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to adjustment, for
aggregate gross proceeds of $6,446,000.
The Class B Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at
$2.40 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time.
The Common Stock issued in such private placement and the Common Stock
underlying the Class B Warrants issued in such private placement are subject to
a "lock-up" for a period ending on May 5, 1999, except to the extent such
securities are sold or transferred pursuant to a Registration Statement filed by
the Company under the Securities Act. After the Company files a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act, 75% of each holder's Common Stock, including
the Common Stock underlying the Class B Warrants, will
4
be subject to an additional "lock-up" for the first three months following the
Effective Date; thereafter, 50% of such securities will be subject to an
additional "lock-up" until six months following the Effective Date; and the
remaining 25% of such securities will be "locked-up" until nine months following

(3) The Company has exchanged all of the 14% Notes issued, including any
right to interest thereon, and all Equity Warrants issued together with the 14%
Notes, for 3,157,322 shares of Common Stock and Class B Warrants to purchase
947,195 shares of Common Stock.
The Company has retained Pillar Investments, Ltd. ("Pillar
Investments") as a placement agent of the Company in connection with the private
placements of securities of the Company in the Offshore Offerings. Pillar
Investments is entitled to receive fees consisting of (i) 9% of the gross
proceeds of each Offshore Offering, (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance
equal to 4% of such gross proceeds, (iii) the right to purchase, for nominal
consideration, warrants to purchase 473,598 shares of Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $2.40 per share, (iv) the right to purchase, for nominal
consideration, warrants to purchase such number of shares of the Common Stock of
the Company equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold
by the Company for which Pillar Investments acts as placement agent, exercisable
at 120% of the relevant Common Stock offering price, for a period of five years
(resulting, as of the date hereof, in the right to receive warrants to purchase
638,032 shares at $2.40 per share, subject to adjustment), and (v) a
consulting/restructuring fee of $960,000 payable in Common Stock of the Company
valued at the market price and payable in three equal installments as net
proceeds of $25,000,000, $30,000,000 and $35,000,000 are received in the
aggregate from private placements effected by the Company in 1998 to the extent
contemplated by the Consent dated as of January 12, 1998 given by certain 9%
Noteholders of the Company, or otherwise to the extent contemplated by the
Placement Agency Agreement between the Company and Pillar Investments. subject
to the Company's receipt of a fairness opinion with regard thereto, provided,
however, that in no event shall Pillar Investments be permitted to receive
compensation in excess of the level which was approved by the holders of the 9%
Notes. Through the date hereof, Pillar Investments has received $1,635,400 in
cash pursuant to these arrangements.
The Company and Pillar Investments have entered into an advisory
agreement pursuant to which Pillar Investments acts as the Company's
non-exclusive financial advisor, which agreement provides that an affiliate of
Pillar Investments receive a monthly retainer of $5,000 (with a minimum
engagement of 24 months beginning on May 5, 1998), and further provides that
Pillar Investments is entitled to receive (i) out-of-pocket expenses, (ii)
subject to the Company's receipt of a fairness opinion with respect thereto,
300,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with Pillar Investments' efforts in

and equity success fees in the event Pillar Investments assists the Company in

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offshore Offerings are
presently intended to be used for general corporate purposes, primarily research
and product development activities, including costs of preparing investigational
new drug applications and

conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, the payment of payroll and
other accounts payable and for debt service required under the Company's debt
obligations. The amounts actually expended by the Company and the purposes of
such expenditures may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors,
including the progress of the Company's research, drug discovery and development
programs, the results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the timing of
regulatory approvals, sales of DNA products and reagents to third parties
manufactured on a custom contract basis by the Hybridon Specialty Products
Division and margins on such sales, technological advances, determinations as to
the commercial potential of the Company's compounds and the status of
competitive products. In addition, expenditures will also depend upon the
establishment of collaborative research arrangements with other companies, the
availability of other financing and other factors. Under certain circumstances,
the Company may be required to use net proceeds to repay indebtedness under the
Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility.
