GTx, Inc. (“GTx” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation incorporated on September 24, 1997 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of medicines to treat serious and/or significant unmet medical conditions.
In 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with the University of Tennessee Research Foundation (“UTRF”) to develop UTRF’s proprietary selective androgen receptor degrader (“SARD”) technology which may have the potential to provide compounds that can degrade or antagonize multiple forms of androgen receptor to treat those patients who do not respond or are resistant to current androgen targeted therapies by inhibiting tumor growth in patients with progressive castration-resistant prostate cancer (“CRPC”). The Company is in the process of completing ongoing mechanistic preclinical studies in order to select the most appropriate SARD compounds to move forward into the additional preclinical studies required to submit an investigational new drug application (“IND”), and potentially advance one of its SARD compounds into a first-in-human clinical trial.
The Company had been developing selective androgen receptor modulators (“SARMs”), including enobosarm (GTx-024). Most recently, enobosarm was evaluated in post-menopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (“SUI”) compared to placebo. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company announced that the Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of orally-administered enobosarm (3 mg or 1 mg) in post-menopausal women with SUI (the “ASTRID trial”) did not achieve statistical significance on the primary endpoint for the trial. The Company has completed the ASTRID trial, including its review of the full data sets from the clinical trial, and has determined that there is not a sufficient path forward to warrant additional clinical development of enobosarm to treat SUI. The Company has therefore discontinued further development of enobosarm to treat SUI, including discontinuing the related durability and open-label safety extension studies that the Company initiated before it received topline data from the ASTRID trial. The Company has also discontinued any further development of its SARM program generally.
Following the announcement of the ASTRID trial results, the Company’s board of directors commenced a process of evaluating strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value. To assist with this process, the Company’s board of directors engaged a financial advisory firm to help explore the Company’s available strategic alternatives, including possible mergers and business combinations, a sale of part or all of the Company’s assets, and collaboration and licensing arrangements. On March 6, 2019, the Company and Oncternal Therapeutics Inc. (“Oncternal”) announced the signing of an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, including approval of the transaction by the Company’s stockholders and Oncternal’s stockholders, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will be merged with and into Oncternal (the “Merger”), with Oncternal surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies – Subsequent Events, for further discussion regarding the proposed Merger.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $28,458 compared to $43,899 at December 31, 2017. To conserve its cash resources, the Company has substantially reduced its workforce since November 2018 and has ceased its SARM development activities and all other operations except for day-to-day business operations, completing ongoing mechanistic SARD preclinical studies and those activities necessary to complete the proposed Merger. |

Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Additionally, GTx operates in one business segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-term Investments
At December 31, 2018 and 2017, short-term investments consisted of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recognized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement or the lease term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Warrant Liability
In November 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,430,948 shares of its common stock. The Company classified these warrants as a liability on its balance sheet since the warrants contained certain terms that could have required the Company (or its successor) to purchase the warrants for cash in an amount equal to the value (as calculated utilizing a contractually-agreed Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model ("Black-Scholes Model")) of the unexercised portion of the warrants in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring on or prior to December 31, 2016, with such cash payment capped at an amount equal to $1.25 per unexercised share underlying each warrant. As a result of the provision of the warrants requiring cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions, the Company was required to account for these warrants as a liability at fair value and the estimated warrant liability was required to be revalued at each balance sheet date until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, the modification to remove the provision that could require cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions or the expiration of such provision on December 31, 2016. Effective March 25, 2016, each of the warrants was amended by agreement of the warrant holders to remove the provision that could require cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions. These warrants were no longer accounted for as a liability as of March 31, 2016. The Company recorded a non-cash reclassification of the warrant fair value to stockholders' equity based on the warrants' fair value as of the March 25, 2016 modification date, with no further adjustments to the fair value of these warrants being required.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Warrant Liability
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments (which include cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts payable) and its prior warrant liability approximate their fair values. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. See Note 6, Stockholders' Equity, for additional disclosure on the valuation methodology and significant assumptions. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified within a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, which is defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability
As the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit classified as short-term investments until maturity, these investments have been classified as held to maturity investments and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company considers these to be Level 2 investments as the fair values of these investments are determined using third-party pricing sources, which generally utilize observable inputs, such as interest rates and maturities of similar assets.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company has established guidelines relating to diversification and maturities of its cash equivalents and short-term investments which are designed to manage risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits, certificates of deposit, and money market mutual funds. Bank deposits may at times be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company’s short-term investments consist of FDIC insured certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expenses for personnel, supplies, and facilities associated with research activities, screening and identification of product candidates, formulation and synthesis activities, manufacturing, preclinical studies, toxicology studies, clinical trials, regulatory and medical affairs activities, quality assurance activities and license fees. The Company expenses these costs in the period in which they are incurred. The Company estimates its liabilities for research and development expenses in order to match the recognition of expenses to the period in which the actual services are received. As such, accrued liabilities related to third party research and development activities are recognized based upon the Company’s estimate of services received and degree of completion of the services in accordance with the specific third party contract.
Patent Costs
The Company expenses patent costs, including legal expenses, in the period in which they are incurred. Patent expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for deferred taxes by recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, net of the valuation allowance, the net deferred tax assets were reduced to zero. See Note 8, Income Taxes, for further discussion.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company has stock option and equity incentive plans that provide for the purchase or acquisition of the Company’s common stock by certain of the Company’s employees and non-employees. The Company recognizes compensation expense for its share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards over the period during which an employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. See Note 3, Share-Based Compensation, for further discussion.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists of interest earned on the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other non-operating income or expense.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to the dilutive potential of common stock consisting of stock options, unvested RSUs and common stock warrants.
Weighted average potential shares of common stock of 11,191,431, 9,438,236, and 8,162,347 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as inclusion of the potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss per share for the periods. At December 31, 2018, the Company had 24,051,844 shares of common stock outstanding.
Comprehensive Loss
For all periods presented, there were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that lessees recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the present value of the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU also will require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2018 up through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as set forth below, there were no material recognizable or nonrecognizable subsequent events during the period evaluated.
Merger Agreement with Oncternal and Related Matters
Merger Agreement
On March 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Oncternal and Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, including approval of the transaction by the Company's stockholders and Oncternal's stockholders, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Oncternal, with Oncternal surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"): (i) each share of Oncternal common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares held by the Company, Merger Sub or Oncternal and dissenting shares) will be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") equal to the exchange ratio described below, (ii) each outstanding Oncternal stock option will be assumed by the Company, and (iii) each outstanding Oncternal warrant will be assumed by the Company.
Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement, the former Oncternal stockholders immediately before the Merger are expected to own approximately 75% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Merger are expected to own approximately 25% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, subject to certain assumptions. The exchange ratio formula excludes Oncternal's outstanding stock options and warrants and the Company's outstanding stock options and warrants.
Under certain circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, the ownership percentages may be adjusted upward or downward based on cash levels of the respective companies at the closing of the Merger (the "Closing").
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and Oncternal, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company and Oncternal, indemnification of directors and officers, the Company’s and Oncternal’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The Closing is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions included in the Merger Agreement.
Following the Closing, Oncternal’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer will serve in these positions for the Company. Additionally, following the Closing, the Company’s board of directors will consist of nine directors, including two current GTx board members.
The Merger Agreement also includes termination provisions for both the Company and Oncternal. In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee ranging between $500 to $2,000.
Contingent Value Rights Agreement
At the Effective Time, the Company will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the "CVR Agreement"). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, for each share of the Company's common stock held, the Company's stockholders of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will receive one contingent value right ("CVR") entitling such holders to receive in the aggregate 50% of any net proceeds received during the 15-year period after closing from the grant, sale or transfer of rights to the Company's SARD or SARM technology that occurs during the 10-year period after the Closing (or in the 11th year if based on a term sheet approved during the initial 10-year period) and, if applicable, to receive royalties on the sale of any SARD products by the combined company during the 15-year period after Closing. The CVR Agreement will be effective prior to the Closing and will continue in effect until the payment of all amounts payable thereunder, unless terminated upon termination of the Merger Agreement.
Workforce Reduction
In the first quarter of 2019, due to the entry into the Merger Agreement with Oncternal, the Company's board of directors committed to reducing its workforce by seven employees. All employees affected by the workforce reduction will be eligible to receive, among other things, specified severance payments based on the applicable employee's level and years of service with the Company and the continuation of group health insurance coverage. In addition, the affected employees will also be eligible for full vesting acceleration of their outstanding stock options as well as an extension of the post-termination exercise period for their outstanding stock options.
As a result of the workforce reduction and prior termination of three employees earlier in the first quarter of 2019, the Company estimates that it will incur total severance-related charges for these employees of approximately $1,000 in the first quarter of 2019 and up to an additional $500 contingent upon the closing of the Merger. The Company does not expect to record a non-cash charge related to the modification of outstanding stock options in connection with the workforce reduction.
Termination of Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan
Prior to the Effective Time (but in no event more than 30 days prior to the Effective Time), the Company’s board of directors will take all actions necessary to terminate and liquidate the Company’s 2018 Amended and Restated Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan”) and all rights or other deferrals thereunder effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the consummation of the Merger. Any future board compensation under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan on or after January 3, 2019 shall be settled only in cash. |

Share-Based Compensation | 3. Share-Based Compensation
Share-based payments include stock option and RSU grants under the Company’s stock option and equity incentive plans and deferred compensation arrangements for the Company’s non-employee directors.
The Company has granted to employees and non-employees options to purchase common stock under various plans at prices equal to the fair market value of its common stock on the dates the options are granted as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan. The options have a term of ten years from the grant date and generally vest over three years from the grant date for director and non-employee options and over periods of up to five years from the grant date for employee options. Under the terms of the Company’s stock option and equity incentive plans, employees generally have three months after the employment relationship ends to exercise all vested options except in the case of voluntary retirement, disability or death, where post-termination exercise periods are generally longer. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of options. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes Model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense.
The fair value of each stock option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the award and each vesting date. During 2017, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting. This guidance addresses the income tax effects of stock-based payments and eliminates the windfall pool concept, as all of the tax effects related to stock-based payments are now being recorded at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement. The new guidance also permits entities to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for stock-based payment awards, allowing for forfeitures to be estimated or recognized when they occur. The Company elected to prospectively adopt the policy that forfeitures be recorded when they occur and prior periods have not been adjusted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Additionally, the Company periodically grants RSUs to its employees. The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs using the closing price of its common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the RSUs is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. All RSUs were fully vested at December 31, 2018.
The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense included within the statements of operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018:
Share-based compensation expense recorded in the statement of operations as general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 included share-based compensation expense related to deferred compensation arrangements for the Company’s non-employee directors of $166, $166 and $132, respectively. See Note 9, Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, for further discussion of deferred compensation arrangements for the Company’s non-employee directors.
For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted was $10.36, $3.80 and $5.45, respectively. The key assumptions used in determining the grant date fair value of options granted in 2018, 2017 and 2016, and a summary of the methodology applied to develop each assumption is as follows:
Expected Price Volatility - This is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. The Company based its determination of expected volatility on its historical stock price volatility. An increase in the expected price volatility will increase compensation expense.
Risk-Free Interest Rate - This is determined using U.S. Treasury rates where the term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase compensation expense.
Expected Life - This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding and is determined by calculating the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the options. The Company has utilized this method due to the lack of historical option exercise information related to the Company’s stock option and equity incentive plans. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. An increase in the expected life will increase compensation expense.
Dividend Yield - The Company has not made any dividend payments nor does it have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation expense.
The following is a summary of stock option transactions for all of the Company’s stock option and equity incentive plans for the three year period ended December 31, 2018:
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2018:
At December 31, 2018, the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding options was zero with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.88 years. Of the Company’s outstanding options, 684,345 options were exercisable and had a weighted average remaining contractual term of 4.05 years and no aggregate intrinsic value. Additionally, the Company's vested and expected to vest options had a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.88 years and no aggregate intrinsic value.
Options to purchase 6,000 shares were exercised during the years ended December 31, 2018. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2018 was $39. At December 31, 2018, the total compensation cost related to non-vested options not yet recognized was $7,697, with a weighted average expense recognition period of 2.95 years. Shares available for future issuance under the Company’s stock option and equity incentive plans were 1,167,162 at December 31, 2018. On January 1, 2019, shares available for future issuance under the 2013 equity incentive plan and the 2013 non-employee director equity incentive plan increased by an aggregate of 1,012,074 shares in accordance with the automatic increase provisions of such plans.
The following is a summary of the RSU transactions for all of the Company’s equity incentive plans for the three year period ended December 31, 2018:
The number of RSUs vested during 2018, 2017, and 2016 included 52,645, 29,482, and 29,829 shares, respectively, that were withheld on behalf of the Company’s employees to satisfy the statutory tax withholding requirements. |

Authorized Capital
On December 5, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock and to effect a reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 400,000,000 to 60,000,000 shares. The Company’s certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the Company to issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.
Common Stock
On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as sales agent (“Stifel”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Stifel, shares of the Company’s common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000. On May 16, 2018, the Company sold 1,501,501 shares of common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $24,474. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $25,000 of common stock remaining available to be sold under the ATM Sales Agreement.
On September 29, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of units consisting of an aggregate of 5,483,320 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,289,988 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $45,648, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The purchasers in the private placement consisted solely of accredited investors that included certain institutional and existing stockholders, including a member of the Company’s board of directors. The warrants, which have five year terms expiring on September 29, 2022, are immediately exercisable and have a per share exercise price of $9.02. The Company assessed whether the warrants require accounting as derivatives. The Company determined that the warrants were indexed to the Company’s own stock. As such, the Company has concluded the warrants meet the scope exception for determining whether the instruments require accounting as derivatives and are classified in stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at $21,069 using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 97%, risk free interest rate of 1.92%, expected life of five years and no dividends. The net proceeds from the private placement were allocated to the common stock and warrants based upon their relative fair values.
On October 14, 2016, the Company completed a registered direct offering of its common stock. Under the terms of the offering, the Company sold 1,728,395 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $13,692, after deducting offering expenses.
On November 14, 2014, the Company completed a private placement of units consisting of an aggregate of 6,431,111 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,430,948 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $42,814, after deducting offering expenses. The net proceeds from the private placement were allocated to the common stock and warrants based upon the fair value method. Similarly, the offering expenses were allocated between the common stock and warrants with the portion allocated to common stock offset against the proceeds allocated to stockholders’ equity, whereas the portion allocated to the warrants was expensed immediately. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $8.50, became exercisable on May 6, 2015 and will continue to be exercisable for four years thereafter. Prior to May 6, 2015, each warrant was subject to net cash settlement if, at the time of any exercise, there was then an insufficient number of authorized and reserved shares of common stock to effect a share settlement of the warrant. Under the terms of the warrants, as of May 6, 2015, the net cash settlement feature of the warrants automatically became inoperative; accordingly, the warrants are exercisable only for shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants, however, also contained certain terms that could have required the Company (or its successor) to purchase the warrants for cash in an amount equal to the value (as calculated utilizing a contractually-agreed Black-Scholes Model) of the unexercised portion of the warrants in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring on or prior to December 31, 2016, with the cash payment capped at an amount equal to $1.25 per unexercised share underlying each warrant. Due to the provision of the warrants that could have required cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions, the Company was required to account for these warrants as a liability at fair value using the Black-Scholes Model and the estimated warrant liability was required to be revalued at each balance sheet date until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, the modification to remove the provision that could require cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions or the expiration of such provision on December 31, 2016. Effective March 25, 2016, each of the warrants was amended by agreement of the warrant holders to remove the provision that could require cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions. These warrants were no longer accounted for as a liability at March 31, 2016. The Company recorded a non-cash reclassification of the warrant fair value to stockholders' equity based on the warrants' fair value as of the March 25, 2016 modification date, with no further adjustments to the fair value of these warrants being required. In March 2018, certain holders of warrants issued in November 2014 exercised warrants covering 1,111,082 shares of common stock in a cashless exercise for which the Company issued an aggregate of 674,579 shares of common stock upon exercise.
Each of these completed offerings included certain existing GTx stockholders and/or certain members of the GTx management team and/or board of directors. |

Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The Company recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and included these amounts in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. During 2018 the Company completed the accounting under the Tax Reform Act as allowed under SAB 118 to revalue its deferred tax assets and liabilities which resulted in no change to the amounts previously recorded by the Company for year ended December 31, 2017.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The principal components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following:
Realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, due to the Company’s history of net operating losses, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $10,799 in 2018, decreased by $47,132 in 2017 and increased in 2016 by $9,347. The valuation allowance decrease in 2017 was due primarily to the passage of the Tax Reform Act and the reduction in the valuation of the Company's net deferred tax assets as a result of the lowering of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had net federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $472,054. The federal operating loss carryforwards originating prior to 2018 will expire from 2019 to 2037 if not utilized. The Company had state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $411,396, which expire from 2019 to 2038 if not utilized. The Company also had research and development credits at December 31, 2018 of approximately $16,383, which expire from 2020 to 2038 if not utilized.
The Company will recognize the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. The Company completed a study of its net operating losses through December 31, 2016 to determine whether such amounts are likely to be limited by Section 382. As a result of this study and its analysis of subsequent ownership changes, the Company does not currently believe any Section 382 limitation exists through December 31, 2018 though the Company has not yet conducted an in-depth analysis since the last study. However, any future ownership changes under Section 382 may limit the Company’s ability to fully utilize these tax benefits. The Company has not yet conducted an in-depth study of its research and development credits, although the Company periodically reviews assumptions used in its calculations to reflect its best estimate of expected credit. An in-depth study may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s research and development credits and until such study is conducted of the Company’s research and development credits, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. The Company’s net deferred income tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. Therefore, future changes to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance and there would be no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or cash flows. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.
The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and the appropriate state income taxing authorities for all years due to the net loss carryforwards from those years. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities. The Company has not recorded any interest and penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits since its inception. |

Warrant Liability | Warrant Liability
In November 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,430,948 shares of its common stock. The Company classified these warrants as a liability on its balance sheet since the warrants contained certain terms that could have required the Company (or its successor) to purchase the warrants for cash in an amount equal to the value (as calculated utilizing a contractually-agreed Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model ("Black-Scholes Model")) of the unexercised portion of the warrants in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring on or prior to December 31, 2016, with such cash payment capped at an amount equal to $1.25 per unexercised share underlying each warrant. As a result of the provision of the warrants requiring cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions, the Company was required to account for these warrants as a liability at fair value and the estimated warrant liability was required to be revalued at each balance sheet date until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, the modification to remove the provision that could require cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions or the expiration of such provision on December 31, 2016. Effective March 25, 2016, each of the warrants was amended by agreement of the warrant holders to remove the provision that could require cash settlement upon certain change of control transactions. These warrants were no longer accounted for as a liability as of March 31, 2016. The Company recorded a non-cash reclassification of the warrant fair value to stockholders' equity based on the warrants' fair value as of the March 25, 2016 modification date, with no further adjustments to the fair value of these warrants being required. |
|||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Warrant Liability | Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Warrant Liability
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments (which include cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts payable) and its prior warrant liability approximate their fair values. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model. See Note 6, Stockholders' Equity, for additional disclosure on the valuation methodology and significant assumptions. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are classified within a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, which is defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability
As the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold its certificates of deposit classified as short-term investments until maturity, these investments have been classified as held to maturity investments and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company considers these to be Level 2 investments as the fair values of these investments are determined using third-party pricing sources, which generally utilize observable inputs, such as interest rates and maturities of similar assets.

The Company accounts for deferred taxes by recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, net of the valuation allowance, the net deferred tax assets were reduced to zero. See Note 8, Income Taxes, for further discussion.

This ASU requires that lessees recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the present value of the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU also will require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019.

Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2018 up through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as set forth below, there were no material recognizable or nonrecognizable subsequent events during the period evaluated.
Merger Agreement with Oncternal and Related Matters
Merger Agreement
On March 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Oncternal and Grizzly Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, including approval of the transaction by the Company's stockholders and Oncternal's stockholders, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Oncternal, with Oncternal surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"): (i) each share of Oncternal common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares held by the Company, Merger Sub or Oncternal and dissenting shares) will be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") equal to the exchange ratio described below, (ii) each outstanding Oncternal stock option will be assumed by the Company, and (iii) each outstanding Oncternal warrant will be assumed by the Company.
Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement, the former Oncternal stockholders immediately before the Merger are expected to own approximately 75% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Merger are expected to own approximately 25% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, subject to certain assumptions. The exchange ratio formula excludes Oncternal's outstanding stock options and warrants and the Company's outstanding stock options and warrants.
Under certain circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, the ownership percentages may be adjusted upward or downward based on cash levels of the respective companies at the closing of the Merger (the "Closing").
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and Oncternal, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company and Oncternal, indemnification of directors and officers, the Company’s and Oncternal’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The Closing is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions included in the Merger Agreement.
Following the Closing, Oncternal’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer will serve in these positions for the Company. Additionally, following the Closing, the Company’s board of directors will consist of nine directors, including two current GTx board members.
The Merger Agreement also includes termination provisions for both the Company and Oncternal. In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee ranging between $500 to $2,000.
Contingent Value Rights Agreement
At the Effective Time, the Company will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the "CVR Agreement"). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, for each share of the Company's common stock held, the Company's stockholders of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will receive one contingent value right ("CVR") entitling such holders to receive in the aggregate 50% of any net proceeds received during the 15-year period after closing from the grant, sale or transfer of rights to the Company's SARD or SARM technology that occurs during the 10-year period after the Closing (or in the 11th year if based on a term sheet approved during the initial 10-year period) and, if applicable, to receive royalties on the sale of any SARD products by the combined company during the 15-year period after Closing. The CVR Agreement will be effective prior to the Closing and will continue in effect until the payment of all amounts payable thereunder, unless terminated upon termination of the Merger Agreement.
Workforce Reduction
In the first quarter of 2019, due to the entry into the Merger Agreement with Oncternal, the Company's board of directors committed to reducing its workforce by seven employees. All employees affected by the workforce reduction will be eligible to receive, among other things, specified severance payments based on the applicable employee's level and years of service with the Company and the continuation of group health insurance coverage. In addition, the affected employees will also be eligible for full vesting acceleration of their outstanding stock options as well as an extension of the post-termination exercise period for their outstanding stock options.
As a result of the workforce reduction and prior termination of three employees earlier in the first quarter of 2019, the Company estimates that it will incur total severance-related charges for these employees of approximately $1,000 in the first quarter of 2019 and up to an additional $500 contingent upon the closing of the Merger. The Company does not expect to record a non-cash charge related to the modification of outstanding stock options in connection with the workforce reduction.
Termination of Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan
Prior to the Effective Time (but in no event more than 30 days prior to the Effective Time), the Company’s board of directors will take all actions necessary to terminate and liquidate the Company’s 2018 Amended and Restated Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan”) and all rights or other deferrals thereunder effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the consummation of the Merger. Any future board compensation under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan on or after January 3, 2019 shall be settled only in cash. |

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments | $ 28,458 | $ 43,899 |
X | ||||||||||
- Definition Cash includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the customer may deposit additional funds at any time and effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid Investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Short-term investments, exclusive of cash equivalents, generally consist of marketable securities intended to be sold within one year (or the normal operating cycle if longer) and may include trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities (if maturing within one year), as applicable.
