We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report or the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of their respective dates. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict them all. Except to the extent required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce revisions to any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our directors, officers (including a person performing a principal policy-making function) and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. The Board has determined that Messrs. Fraser and Tattory, Dr. Simonson and Ms. Templeton are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all filings they make under Section 16(a) and we are required to identify those Reporting Persons who failed to make such filings timely. Based solely on a review of the copies of any such filings made available to us and written representations from our officers and directors, we believe that, except as set forth below, all Reporting Persons complied with the filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the year ended December 31, 2017:
As of November 21, 2017, each of Lee’s Pharmaceutical Holdings Ltd. (“Lee’s”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LPH Investments Limited (“LPH”), beneficially owned more than ten percent of our common stock and filed their respective Forms 3 approximately 8 days late.

Absent such waiver, each of Messrs. Fraser and Tattory and Dr. Simonson would have been entitled to an annual bonus amount in 2017 equal to $213,725, $95,512 and $101,722.50, respectively. See, “– Executive Employment Agreements,” and “– Change of Control.” No bonuses were paid to the Named Executive Officers in 2016. |

Represents the ratable amount expensed for the year under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 "Stock Compensation" (“ASC Topic 718”) for grants of restricted stock units made pursuant to the SPA in November 2017 (“2017 Restricted Stock Units”) to Messrs. Fraser and Tattory and Dr. Simonson, and is not an amount paid to, or realized by, the Named Executive Officer. The assumptions that we utilized are described in Note 10, Stock Options and Stock-based Employee Compensation, to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The 2017 Restricted Stock Units initially vested in two equal tranches on March 15, 2018 and March 15, 2019. On March 13, 2018, each Named Executive Officer agreed to amend such executive’s 2017 Restricted Stock Unit agreement (“RSU Amendment”) to (i) change the initial vesting date from March 15, 2018 to August 1, 2018 and, (ii) effective March 15, 2018, cause the initial tranche of the 2017 Restricted Stock Units to become non-forfeitable in the event of termination of employment of the executive for other than cause (as defined in such executive’s employment agreement). Except as provided in the RSU Amendment, prior to vesting, the 2017 Restricted Stock Units are non-transferable and subject to cancellation upon termination of a grantee’s employment. The ASC Topic 718 value as of the grant date for the 2007 Restricted Stock is spread over the number of months of service required for the grant to become non-forfeitable. |

Represents the grant date fair value of the stock options computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The assumptions that we utilized are described in Note 10, Stock Options and Stock-based Employee Compensation, to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The amounts reported in this column have not been paid to, nor realized by, the Named Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee approved grants to Mr. Fraser, Dr. Simonson and Mr. Tattory on March 1, 2017 for 5,000, 2,750 and 2,750 shares, respectively, each with an exercise price of $24.60. In connection with his hiring on February 1, 2016, Mr. Fraser was awarded an inducement grant in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) in the form of an option to purchase 10,243 shares of our common stock, representing 2.5% of our outstanding shares, at an exercise price of $46.60 per share, which was the closing price on February 2, 2016 and the price next determined after approval of the grant. The Compensation Committee approved grants to Dr. Simonson and Mr. Tattory on February 2, 2016 for 1,786 and 1,161 shares, respectively, each with an exercise price of $46.60. The Compensation Committee approved grants to Mr. Fraser, Dr. Simonson and Mr. Tattory on July 28, 2016 for 2,000, 1,250 and 1,250 shares, respectively, each with an exercise price of $35.40. All options vest in three equal annual installments beginning with the first-year anniversary of the date of grant. All options have a term of 10 years. |

The reported amount reflects any Company match under our 401(k) Plan. During 2017 and 2016, as applicable, the aggregate perquisites and other personal benefits afforded to each Named Executive Officer was less than $10,000, calculated as the incremental cost of providing such benefits to each Named Executive Officer, in accordance with SEC disclosure rules. This amount does not include the cost of medical and health benefits, as such benefits are available to all of our employees. We suspended our company match following the second quarter of 2017 while we assessed the impact of the transfer of our common stock to the OTCQB® market.

In connection with the hiring of Mr. Fraser on February 1, 2016, Mr. Fraser was awarded an inducement grant in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) in the form of an option to purchase 10,243 shares of our common stock, representing 2.5% of our outstanding shares. These options vest in equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the February 1, 2016 grant date, assuming that Mr. Fraser continues to be employed with us through each vesting date. These options expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. |

The 2017 Restricted Stock Units initially vested in two equal tranches on March 15, 2018 and March 15, 2019. On March 13, 2018, each Named Executive Officer agreed to the RSU Amendment to (i) change the initial vesting date from March 15, 2018 to August 1, 2018 and, (ii) effective March 15, 2018, cause the initial tranche of the 2017 Restricted Stock Units to become non-forfeitable in the event of termination of employment of the executive for other than cause (as defined in such executive’s employment agreement) |
Retirement Benefits
During 2017, none of our Named Executive Officers participated in any plan that provides for the payment of retirement benefits, or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement, other than our 401(k) savings plan (“401(k) Plan”). Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees (as defined in the 401(k) Plan) may elect to make pre-tax deferrals or Roth deferrals up to the maximum amount allowed by law (which was limited for this purpose in 2017 to $18,000). The 401(k) Plan also permits (i) rollover contributions and (ii) catch up contributions by employees age 50 and over (which was limited for this purpose in 2017 to $6,000). Under the 401(k), we historically have made employer matching contributions on a quarterly basis by matching employee regular and catch-up contributions with shares of our common stock determined by reference to the lower of (i) the average closing price of shares of our common stock on all trading days in the applicable quarter, or (ii) the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the quarter. However, based on management’s recommendation following a review of our common stock share price and average daily trading volume, the Compensation Committee determined to cease the share match in the second half of 2017 and authorized a company match in cash, subject to there being sufficient cash resources as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee at any time, in an amount equal to 50% of each eligible dollar participants contribute to the Plan based on contributions of up to 6% of the participant’s base salary. We plan to commence this practice during the 2018 Plan year when, and if, such cash resources become available.
Participant contributions are fully vested when made. Employer contributions generally vest in full over the first three years of service (as defined in the 401(k) Plan), with 34% vesting upon the anniversary of the first year of service, 33% vesting upon the anniversary of the second year of service, and 33% vesting upon the anniversary of the third year of service. A participant may not dispose of any shares of our common stock representing the employer contribution until all shares are fully vested at the end of the third year of service. The 401(k) Plan does not permit the acquisition or holding of employer securities, other than the shares of our common stock credited to participant accounts to satisfy the employer match. The 401(k) Plan contains standard provisions covering breaks in service, payment of expenses out of plan assets, hardship distributions, and distributions upon termination of employment, including retirement.
The 401(k) Plan is intended to be a qualified plan under the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service. We act as Plan Administrator; the trustee and custodian of plan assets is The Charles Schwab Trust Company and the third-party administrator is Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group. As Plan Administrator, and with the assistance of Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group, we periodically assess the list of funds that will be made available to participants, who then direct the investment of their participant account balances among those funds. In addition, participants may elect to place their entire plan assets (other than shares of our common stock from the employer match that are not vested) in a self-directed brokerage account with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
Executive Employment Agreements
On March 26, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a form of executive employment agreement (the “Executive Agreements”) for senior executive officers, including Mr. Tattory and Dr. Simonson. The following describes the key terms of the Executive Agreements Messrs. Fraser and Tattory and Dr. Simonson as presently in effect.
|
● |
The effective date of the Executive Agreements was February 1, 2016 for Mr. Fraser, April 1, 2014 for Mr. Tattory and December 19, 2014 for Dr. Simonson. Mr. Fraser’s agreement was based on the then-current form of Executive Agreement, with certain changes and updates that thereafter have been incorporated into the other Executive Agreements by amendment effective March 13, 2018, including: the agreements remain in effect until terminated (the agreements for other than Mr. Fraser previously had a stated term that automatically renewed unless either party provided advance notice of non-renewal); termination for Good Reason (as defined the Executive Agreements and discussed below) must be asserted by the executive within 30 days after the executive has actual knowledge of the act or omission constituting Good Reason and provides us a 30-day cure period (the agreements previously required notice within a year after the event); the agreements are governed by Pennsylvania law, with arbitration to be held in the Philadelphia PA (the agreements previously were governed by New York law with arbitration in New York City); and the agreements provide for certain adjusts to payments to assure compliance with IRC Section 409a. In addition, the period of non-solicitation post-employment was reduced to 12-months (the agreements previously provided for 18 months). In addition, Mr. Fraser’s agreement was amended in March 2018 to correct an apparent scrivener’s error and conform the period of extended benefits in the event of a change of control with the other agreements (18 months). |
|
|
● |
All Executive Agreements include a 12-month post-employment noncompetition agreement and non-solicitation agreement, and provide for confidentiality and the assignment to us of all intellectual property. Effective March 1, 2017, the base salaries of Messrs. Fraser and Tattory and Dr. Simonson were increased to $427,450, $318,375 and $339,075, respectively. Effective April 1, 2018 the base salaries of Mr. Fraser, Mr. Tattory and Dr. Simonson were increased to $440,274, $327,926 and $349,247 respectively. Each executive has a target annual bonus (“Annual Bonus Amount”), which is awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and expressed as a percent of base salary. Mr. Fraser’s Annual Bonus Amount is 50% of his base salary and Mr. Tattory’s and Dr. Simonson’s is 30% of their respective base salaries. |
|
● |
Under the Executive Agreements, upon termination by us without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (in each case as defined therein), in addition to any amounts or benefits that are due under any of our vested plans or other policy, and on the condition that the executive enters into a separation agreement containing a final and effective plenary release of claims in a form acceptable to us, each executive will be entitled to: (i) a pro rata bonus equal to a percentage of the executive’s Annual Bonus Amount determined by dividing the total actual bonuses paid to other contract executives for the year in which the termination occurs by the aggregate of such other contract executives’ total target bonuses for that year, and further prorated for the number of days the executive was employed in the year of termination, payable at the time that other contract executives are paid bonuses with respect to the year of termination; (ii) a severance amount equal to the sum of the executive’s base salary then in effect (determined without regard to any reduction constituting Good Reason) and the Annual Bonus Amount, payable in equal installments from the date of termination to the date that is 12 months after the date of termination (the “Severance Period”); and (iii) all vested stock options, restricted stock grants and other similar equity awards held by the executive (“Executive Equity Awards”) shall continue to be exercisable during the Severance Period. In addition, during the Severance Period, if the executive elects to continue medical benefits through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), we will continue to pay our costs of the executive’s and his or her dependents’ benefits as in effect on the date of termination as such benefits are provided to active employees. If COBRA coverage is unavailable, we will reimburse the executive an amount which, after taxes, is sufficient to purchase medical and dental coverage substantially equivalent to that which the executive and his dependents were receiving immediately prior to the date of termination and that is available to comparable active employees, reduced by the amount that would be paid by comparable active employees for such coverage under our plans, and provided further, that our obligation to provide benefits will cease or be reduced to the extent that a subsequent employer provides substantially similar coverage. All of our obligations to an executive shall cease if at any time during the Severance Period the executive engages in a material breach of the Executive Agreement and fails to cure such breach within five business days after receipt from us of notice of such breach. |
|
● |
Upon termination in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Executive Agreements), in addition to the benefits that arise upon a Change of Control (discussed below) and any benefits that are due to an executive under any vested plans or other policies, the executive shall be entitled to: (i) a pro rata bonus equal to the executive’s Annual Bonus Amount and prorated for the number of days the executive was employed in the year of termination, payable in a lump sum within 10 days after the date of termination; (ii) a severance amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of the executive’s base salary then in effect (determined without regard to any reduction constituting Good Reason) and the Annual Bonus Amount, payable in a lump sum within 10 days after the date of termination except in certain circumstances; and (iii) all Executive Equity Awards shall accelerate and become fully vested and any restrictions under restricted stock agreements will be lifted. In addition, if the executive elects to continue medical benefits through COBRA, for a period of 18 months, we will continue to pay our costs of the executive’s benefits as in effect on the date of termination as such benefits are provided to active employees. If COBRA coverage is unavailable, we will reimburse the executive an amount which, after taxes, is sufficient to purchase coverage that is substantially equivalent to the coverage available to comparable active employees on the date of termination, reduced by the amount that would be paid by comparable active employees, provided that our obligation to provide benefits shall cease or be reduced to the extent that a subsequent employer provides substantially similar coverage. All of our obligations to an executive shall cease if at any time during the Severance Period the executive engages in a material breach of the Executive Agreement and fails to cure such breach within five business days after receipt from us of notice of such breach. If the foregoing payments shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax, they will automatically be reduced to the extent and in the manner provided in the Executive Agreements. |
|
|
● |
Upon a Change of Control, for a period of 24 months after the date of the Change of Control (the “Effective Period”), and provided that the executive is employed on the last day of a fiscal year ending in that period, the executive will be entitled to an annual bonus at least equal to such executive’s Annual Bonus Amount, payable no later than March 15 in the next succeeding fiscal year. See also, “– 2017 Change of Control.” |
2017 Change of Control
Effective October 27, 2017, we entered the SPA with LPH, which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lee’s. LPH invested $10 million in our Company and acquired 2,311,604 shares of our common stock, which represented 73% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and constituted a Change of Control under the Executive Agreements. The SPA also amended the Executive Agreements of each of our Named Executive Officers. Under the SPA, Messrs. Fraser and Tattory and Dr. Simonson agreed, solely with respect to the Change of Control occurring under the SPA, to waive the minimum annual bonuses that otherwise would be payable during the Effective Period in an amount equal to the executive’s Annual Bonus Amount. Also under the SPA, each executive received the 2017 Restricted Stock Units under our 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), having a value when issued equal to the combined total value of such executive’s 2017 and 2018 Annual Bonus Amounts and initially vesting in two equal installments on March 15, 2018 and March 15, 2019. On March 13, 2018, each executive to amend such executive’s 2017 Restricted Stock Units to (i) change the initial vesting date from March 15, 2018 to August 1, 2018 and, (ii) effective March 15, 2018, cause the initial tranche of the 2017 Restricted Stock Units to become non-forfeitable in the event of termination of employment of the executive for other than cause (as defined in such executive’s employment agreement).
Director Compensation
Each of our non-employee directors receives cash compensation for his services. Directors who are also employees are not compensated separately for serving on the Board or any of its committees. On June 9, 2015, the Compensation Committee and Board approved cash compensation for non-employee directors as follows: (i) $8,750 per quarter for all directors other than the Chairman of the Board, and $15,000 per quarter for the Chairman of the Board; (ii) $3,750 per quarter for the director who served as Chairman of the Audit Committee; (iii) $2,500 per quarter for the director who served as Chairman of the Compensation Committee; (iv) $1,875 per quarter for the director who served as Chairman of the Nomination and Governance Committee; (v) $1,750 per quarter for each director who served as a non-Chairman member of the Audit Committee; (vi) $1,250 per quarter for each director who served as a non-Chairman member of the Compensation Committee; and (vii) $1,000 per quarter for each director who served as a non-Chairman member of the Nomination and Governance Committee. In addition, to better align the interests of our Board with our stockholders, the Compensation Committee considers and recommends to the Board long-term equity compensation. On August 4, 2016, in addition to approving retainers for the following year in the amounts authorized under the June 9, 2015 resolutions, the Compensation Committee approved an award to each non-employee director of options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units as set forth in the table below. These awards, which were issued pursuant to our 2011 Plan, were approved after due consideration of the practices of other similarly situated biotechnology companies in providing equity compensation to their non-employee directors. The foregoing annual compensation amounts and equity awards will remain in effect until superseded. The Compensation Committee plans to conduct a review of peer company director compensation practices periodically, including before considering changes to our director compensation policy and amounts in the future.
The following chart summarizes the cash and non-cash compensation earned or paid to our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2017. To improve readability, the following columns have been removed from the table, as there is no reportable information with respect to these items: “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” and “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings.”

Due to cash resource constraints, we suspended payments of director fees in mid-2017. We plan to pay the accrued but unpaid director fees when cash resources become available. The amounts related to 2017 that are currently payable to our directors are: Mr. Leone – $34,500, Mr. Mahady – $26,000, Mr. Peacock – $29,500, and Dr. Rosenthale – $24,750. |
In addition to the items included in the foregoing chart, directors are entitled to reimbursements for their travel, lodging and other expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board, Board committee meetings and related activities.
Pursuant to our charter documents, we indemnify our directors to the maximum extent permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, we have entered into indemnity agreements with our officers and directors that provide, among other things, that we will indemnify them, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer, or other agent of ours, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws”). These agreements were updated and re-executed in January 2016.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") and includes voting and investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock, and shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after April 6, 2018 held by each person or group named above are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person or group holding any options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group. As of April 6, 2018, there were 3,769,088 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The address of each individual person is c/o Windtree Therapeutics, Inc., 2600 Kelly Road, Suite 100, Warrington, Pennsylvania 18976-3622. |
|
(2) |
Except where noted, Common Stock Equivalents include shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or convertible preferred shares currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after April 6, 2018 held by each person or group named above. |
|
(3) |
Total beneficial ownership shown in the table includes 29 shares held by his spouse as to which Dr. Rosenthale disclaims beneficial ownership. |
|
(4) |
This information is based on Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 1) and a Form 4 filed with the SEC by Lee’s on April 6, 2018, a Form 3 filed with the SEC by LPH II Investments Limited (“LPH II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lee’s, on April 13, 2018, and a Schedule 13D filed with the SEC by LPH II on April 16, 2018, including with respect to the following: 2,311,604 shares of common stock held by LPH, which initially was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lee’s. Following a transaction in which a passive investor acquired from Lee’s a 26% interest in LPH, Lee’s holds a 74% interest in LPH and LPH holds shared voting power with respect to 2,311,604 shares of common stock, all of which may be attributed to Lee’s; 541,667 shares of common stock and Series C warrants to purchase 135,417 shares of common stock acquired by LPH II in a unit offering effective March 30, 2018. The exercise of the Series C warrants is initially restricted (which restriction may be adjusted or eliminated on 61 days’ notice to us) to the extent that, upon exercise, the number of shares then beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and any other person or entities with which such holder would constitute a group under §13(d) of the Exchange Act would exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares then outstanding (the "Ownership Cap"). Accordingly, LPH II is currently unable to exercise the Series C warrants as the Ownership Cap would be exceeded; and 133,800 Common Stock Equivalents acquired directly by Lee’s in a February 2017 unit offering that consists of 1,338 Convertible Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”), which are convertible into 66,900 shares of our common stock, and Series B warrants to purchase 66,900 shares of our common stock. The forms of both the Convertible Shares and the Series B warrants are subject to a non-waivable Ownership Cap of not more than 9.99%. Accordingly, Lee’s is currently unable to convert the Preferred Shares or exercise the warrants as the Ownership Cap would be exceeded. |
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions between the Company and Related Parties
Except as noted below, there were no reportable transactions between us and any person that is a related party to us since the beginning of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2017. Any proposed transaction between us and any related party that involves an amount in excess of approximately $65,000 (representing one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years) must be submitted to, and reviewed and approved by, the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee will make its determination based on the particular circumstances of the proposed transaction, including whether the proposed transaction is in our best interest and does not involve an expense in excess of that which would likely be incurred in an arms’ length transaction. In reviewing such transactions, the Audit Committee refers to our written corporate policies related to conflicts of interest and related party transactions.
Effective October 27, 2017, we entered the SPA with LPH, which at the time was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lee’s. Under the SPA, LPH invested $10 million in our Company and acquired a controlling interest in our common stock. As such, each of LPH, Lee’s and Lee’s affiliates became related parties to us. This investment was concluded at a price of $4.326 per share, which represented a 15% premium over the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share (VWAP) over the 10-day trading period ending on and including the date of the SPA. This investment included cancellation of $3.9 million loans received from Lee’s Pharmaceutical (HK), Ltd. (Lee’s (HK)), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lee’s, under a Loan Agreement, effective August 14, 2017. Lee’s (HK) is our licensee under a license, development and commercialization agreement for our KL4 surfactant products in China, Hong Kong and other select Asian markets. Under the SPA, we granted LPH certain rights, including a preemptive right to purchase in future offerings of equity securities up to that number of shares of our equity securities needed to maintain LPH's percentage of beneficial ownership of our outstanding voting stock immediately prior to each such offering, subject to certain limitations and exclusions.
In addition, in January and March 2018, we entered into loan agreements with LPH for advances of $1.5 million and $1 million, respectively, to support our development activities and operations while we work to complete an equity offering. The loans bear interest on the outstanding principal balance at a rate of per annum equal to 6%. To secure our obligations under these loans, we granted Lee’s a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The unpaid principal balance of the loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) unless otherwise agreed, the closing date of a Funding Event (as defined in each loan agreement), and (ii) December 31, 2018. We contemplate that under the terms of the Funding Event, the outstanding principal balance of the loans will be applied in full satisfaction of a like amount of cash consideration payable by LPH II to us at the closing of such Funding Event, and the loans shall thereby be discharged in full.
In April 2018, we completed a private placement with LPH II Investments Limited, an affiliate of Lee’s, for the purchase of $2.6 million of our common stock and warrants at a purchase price per share of $4.80. The warrants are exercisable after 6 months and through the seventh anniversary of the issue date at an exercise price of $5.52 per share.
Our Board reviewed each of our transactions with Lee’s and assessed the proposed terms, valuation and conditions in the context of our situation and need for additional capital and unanimously determined that the transactions have been in the best interests of our company and its stockholders. With the support of Lee’s and its affiliates, we are currently engaged in active diligence and discussions with a third-party for a potential strategic transaction. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to reach agreement on terms and within the time frame acceptable to both parties. Moreover, even if we reach agreement and complete a transaction, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to fund the continued development of AEROSURF or any other product candidates, that our development efforts would be successful, or that we would ever complete such development and obtain regulatory approvals needed to commercialize our product candidates in the world’s markets.
Director Independence
The Board presently consists of five members, one of whom also serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Presently, Messrs. Leone, Mahady and Peacock and Dr. Rosenthale are deemed to be “independent” directors within the meaning of the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing requirements. Each director who serves on a standing committee, including the Compensation Committee, the Nomination and Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, is considered to be “independent” within the meaning of the SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing requirements.

Audit fees are fees for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and the review of the consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Audit-related fees are fees for services related to registration statements and other offering memoranda and accounting consultation.
Tax fees consist of tax compliance/preparation and other tax services. No portion of these tax fees is related to financial information or operational system design or implementation services.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of all other services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP and has concluded that Ernst & Young LLP is independent.
Pre-Approval Policies
The Audit Committee pre-approves specified audit and non-audit services prior to the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm. With respect to other audit and non-audit services, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has the authority to approve any additional audit services and permissible non-audit services, provided the Chairman informs the Audit Committee of such approval at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Our Chief Financial Officer monitors the performance of all services rendered by our independent auditors, determines whether such services are within the list of pre-approved services and informs the Audit Committee on a timely basis of any such services.
On an ongoing basis, our Chief Financial Officer, together with our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible to submit to the Audit Committee all requests for approval of services that require a specific pre-approval. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management and the independent registered public accounting firm if the Audit Committee pre-approves the engagement of the independent auditors for such projects and services. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. The Audit Committee may delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a sub-committee of the Audit Committee, provided that any such pre-approvals are reported at the next Audit Committee meeting.
