NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2023
1. Basis of Presentation and Organization
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Standard Biotools Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Standard Biotools, the Company, we, our, or us) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). As of March 31, 2023, we had wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, China, Germany and Norway. All subsidiaries, except for Singapore, use their local currency as their functional currency. The Singapore subsidiary uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited, have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other year or interim period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 14, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, which together form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information, including the impact of geopolitical factors, including the war in Ukraine; inflation; and the possibility of a global economic recession. These accounting matters included but were not limited to inventory and related reserves; the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets; and the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We also use significant judgment in determining the fair value of financial instruments, including debt and equity instruments. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and could have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Net Loss Per Share
Our basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Restricted share units (RSUs), performance stock awards (PSUs), and options to purchase our common stock are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
The following potentially dilutive common shares (in thousands) were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive:

Refer to Note 13 for additional information on revenue by reporting segment. Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included total deferred revenue of $15.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $3.6 million of the opening deferred revenue balance was recognized as revenue and $4.5 million of net additional advance payments, primarily for instrument services contracts, were received from customers.
We expect to recognize revenue from unfulfilled performance obligations associated with service contracts that were partially completed as of March 31, 2023 in the following periods (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
Fiscal Year | | Expected Revenue (1) |
2023 remainder of the year | | $ | 11,157 | |

2025 | | 3,752 | |
Thereafter | | 1,904 | |
Total | | $ | 23,725 | |
_______
(1) Expected revenue includes both billed amounts included in deferred revenue and unbilled amounts that are not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are subject to change if our customers decide to cancel or modify their contracts. Purchase orders for instrument service contracts can generally be canceled before the service period begins.
We apply the practical expedient that permits us to not disclose information about unsatisfied performance obligations for service contracts with an expected term of one year or less.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net
In connection with our acquisition of DVS Sciences, Inc. in February 2014, we recorded $104.1 million of goodwill and $112.0 million of intangible assets associated with the acquired technology. Also, in the first quarter of 2020, we recorded $2.2 million of goodwill and $5.4 million of developed technology intangibles from the InstruNor AS acquisition.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Qualitative assessment includes assessing significant events and circumstances such as our current results, assumptions regarding our future performance, strategic initiatives and overall economic factors, including the impact of rising inflation and the possibility of a global recession, to determine the existence of potential indicators of impairment. If indicators of impairment are identified, a quantitative impairment test is performed. There have been no indicators of impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets or intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Intangible assets with finite lives include developed technology, patents and licenses. In the condensed consolidated balance sheets, developed technology is reported separately while patents and licenses are reported in other non-current assets. Intangible assets, net, were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

In September 2020, we executed a contract with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under their Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics program to support the expansion of our production capacity and throughput capabilities for COVID-19 test products that use our genomics technology. Under the now-completed contract, we received $34.0 million of funding from the NIH and used $22.2 million for capital expenditures on expansion of production capacity. The amortization of the deferred income, which is offset against depreciation, was $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Cumulative amounts applied against depreciation expense for these assets placed in service were $5.1 million and $4.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the carrying values of these assets were $17.1 million and $18.0 million, respectively, as of these same dates.
The current portion of deferred grant income on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represents amounts expected to be offset against depreciation expense over the next twelve months. The non-current portion of deferred grant income includes amounts expected to be offset against depreciation expense in later periods.
The current and non-current portions of deferred grant income were as follows (in thousands):

Net carrying value of all Notes | | $ | 54,733 | | | $ | 54,615 | |
In February 2014, we closed an underwritten public offering of 2014 Notes. In 2019, the outstanding 2014 Notes were largely refinanced with the 2019 Notes, as discussed below. The effective interest rate on the 2014 Notes, reflecting the impact of debt discounts and issuance costs, is approximately 2.9% per annum. The 2014 Notes will mature on February 1, 2034, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Notes. Holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2014 Notes on each of February 6, 2021, February 6, 2024 and February 6, 2029, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2014 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In November 2019, we issued $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes. Net proceeds from the 2019 Notes issuance of $52.7 million, after deductions for commissions and other debt issuance costs were used to retire all but $1.1 million of the aggregate principal value of the 2014 Notes then outstanding. In February 2021, holders of $0.5 million of the 2014 Notes required us to repurchase their notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, leaving $0.6 million aggregate principal outstanding at March 31, 2023.
The 2019 Notes bear interest at 5.25% per annum, payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2020. The 2019 Notes will mature on December 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted pursuant to their terms. The 2019 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any point prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate of the 2019 Notes is 344.8276 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.90 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Those certain specified events include voluntary conversion of the 2019 Notes prior to our exercise of the Issuer’s Conversion Option or in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, entitling the holders, under certain circumstances, to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate determined by reference to a make-whole table set forth in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. The conversion rate will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.
The 2019 Notes will also be convertible at our option upon certain conditions in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. On or after December 1, 2022, if the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock has equaled or exceeded 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for a specified number of days, we may, at our option, elect to convert the 2019 Notes in whole but not in part into shares of the Company’s common stock, determined in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2019 Notes.
Offering-related costs for the 2019 Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are recorded as an offset to the carrying value of the 2019 Notes. The effective rate on the 2019 Notes is 6.2% per annum.
Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, net
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 2, 2018, we entered into a revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) (as amended, the Revolving Credit Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of up to the lesser of (i) $15.0 million or (ii) the sum of (a) 85% of our eligible receivables and (b) 50% of our eligible inventory, in each case, subject to certain limitations (Borrowing Base), provided that the amount of eligible inventory that may be counted towards the Borrowing Base shall be subject to a cap as set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility.
On August 2, 2021, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to August 2, 2023 and to provide for a new $10.0 million Term Loan Facility (the Term Loan Facility and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all our property, other than intellectual property. The Credit Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00 and a liquidity requirement of greater than $20 million, which are both defined in the Credit Facility.
The interest rate on advances made under the Revolving Credit Facility is the greater of (i) prime rate plus 0.50% or (ii) 5.25% per annum. Interest on any outstanding advances is due and payable monthly and the principal balance is due at maturity, though loans can be prepaid at any time without penalty. Fees for the Revolving Credit Facility include an annual commitment fee of $112,500 and a quarterly unused line fee based on the Borrowing Base. As of March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total amount available was $7.1 million.
On March 10, 2023, SVB was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed as receiver. On March 27, 2023, First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (First Citizens Bank) assumed all of SVB’s deposits and loans. SVB now operates as a division of First Citizens Bank.
Term Loan Facility, net
As of March 31, 2023, the Term Loan Facility was fully drawn and the carrying value of the loan was $10.3 million. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility is the greater of 4.0% per annum or a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.75%. Interest on any outstanding term loan advances is due and payable monthly. In addition to the monthly interest payments, a final payment equal to 6.5% of the original principal amount of each advance is due the earlier of the maturity date or the date the advance is repaid. Principal balances are required to be repaid in 24 equal installments beginning on August 1, 2023. The effective interest rate on the Term Loan Facility, reflecting the impact of debt issuance costs, the end-of-term fee and expected timing of principal repayment, was 8.4% per annum as of March 31, 2023.
The stated maturity of the Term Loan Facility is July 1, 2025. However, if the principal amount of our convertible debt exceeds $0.6 million as of June 1, 2024 or if the maturity date of our 2019 Notes has not been extended beyond January 1, 2026 by June 1, 2024, then the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility will be June 1, 2024.

Bridge Loans
On January 23, 2022, we entered into separate loan agreements (the Bridge Loan Agreements) with Casdin Private Growth Equity Fund II, L.P. and Casdin Partners Master Fund, L.P. (collectively, Casdin) and Viking Global Opportunities Illiquid Investments Sub-Master LP and Viking Global Opportunities Drawdown (Aggregator) LP (collectively, Viking). Under the Bridge Loan Agreements, Casdin and Viking (collectively the Lenders) each provided to the Company a $12.5 million term
loan (collectively, the Bridge Loans). The Bridge Loans were fully drawn on January 24, 2022, and automatically converted into Series B Preferred Stock upon the subsequent closing of the Private Placement, as more fully discussed below in Note 9. Prior to their conversion, the Bridge Loans bore interest at (i) a rate of 10% per annum from the effective date of the Bridge Loan Agreements to February 28, 2022, and (ii) a rate of 12% per annum from March 1, 2022 to the closing of the Private Placement on April 4, 2022.
Applying the guidance in ASC 825 Financial Instruments, we elected to record the Bridge Loans at their fair value. We employed a probability‐weighted expected return method in our valuation analysis of the Bridge Loans. The $10.7 million change in fair value of the Bridge Loans from $25.0 million at inception to $35.7 million as of March 31, 2022, including the portion attributable to accrued interest, was reflected as a non-operating unrealized loss on the Bridge Loans in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The loss was primarily due to the increase in our common stock price from $2.84 per share at inception of the Bridge Loans to $3.59 per share on March 31, 2022. Upon conversion as of April 4, 2022, the change in the fair value from inception was $13.7 million and the carrying value of the Bridge Loans of $38.7 million was reclassified to Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock.
7. Leases
We have operating leases for buildings, equipment and vehicles. Existing leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to seven years. Some leases contain options to extend the lease, usually for up to five years, along with termination options.
In August 2022, we entered into an agreement to sublease approximately 25% of our corporate headquarters space in South San Francisco, California for a period of 39 months. We expect to recognize $4.7 million of sublease income over the lease term that commenced in October 2022.
On February 28, 2023, we signed a second agreement to sublease an additional 25% of our corporate headquarters for a period of 77 months. We expect to recognize additional sublease income of $9.1 million over the lease term, commencing on December 1, 2023.
Sublease income is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Debt
The 2014 Notes and 2019 Notes are not regularly traded. The estimated fair values for these securities represent Level III valuations since a fair value for these securities cannot be determined by using readily observable inputs or measures, such as market prices. Fair values were estimated using pricing models and risk-adjusted value ranges.
The estimated fair value of the Term Loan Facility also represents a Level III valuation since the value cannot be determined by using readily observable inputs or measures, such as market prices. The fair value of our Term Loan Facility was estimated using a discounted cash flow model and current market interest rate data for similar loans.
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility typically have short repayment periods and their carrying values approximate their fair values due to their short-term duration. The Company had no advances under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

9. Mezzanine Equity
Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock
On January 23, 2022, we entered into the Bridge Loan Agreements, as more fully discussed in Note 6. Also, on that date, we entered into separate Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (the Purchase Agreements) with the Lenders. Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements, we issued and sold an aggregate of $225 million of convertible preferred stock, consisting of: (i) 112,500 shares of the Company’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Series B-1 Preferred Stock), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share; and (ii) 112,500 shares of the Company’s Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (together with the issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with the conversion of the Bridge Loans, the Private Placement). The Private Placement closed on April 4, 2022 (the Closing Date). Upon closing, 225,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued in accordance with the Purchase Agreements and the Bridge Loans converted into 30,559 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, for a total of 255,559 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Purchase Agreements were accounted for as forward sales contracts at fair value in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equities because the Series B Preferred Stock included certain contingent redemption features that created an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares. The fair value of the payable portion of the forward sales contracts was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation, which relies on significant assumptions regarding the estimated yield and term of the Series B Preferred Stock.
The fair value of the 225,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock was determined to be $262.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and $285.1 million on the Closing Date. The $37.8 million and $60.1 million increase in the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock from the date of the Purchase Agreements to March 31, 2022 and the Closing Date, respectively, was primarily due to the increase in our common stock price during the same period and the various conversion rights and key provisions discussed below. The increase in fair value was included as a non-operating loss on the forward sale of Series B Preferred Stock on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Preferred stock is classified as debt, equity or mezzanine equity based on its redemption features. Preferred stock with redemption features outside of the control of the issuer, such as contingent redemption features, is classified as mezzanine equity. We recorded the Series B Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity at its fair value upon issuance, net of any issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets because it had features, such as change of control and liquidation preference, which are outside of the Company’s control. Subsequent adjustment of the amount presented within mezzanine equity to its redemption amount is unnecessary as it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.
Upon closing, the value of the Bridge Loans and the Purchase Agreements, discussed in detail above, were reclassified and included in the carrying value of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock. The carrying value of the Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock as of April 4, 2022 was $311.3 million.
The components of the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Proceeds from Purchase Agreements | | $ | 225,000 | | | |

The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock with respect to dividend rights, redemption rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to participate in all dividends declared on our common stock on an as-converted basis. The Series B Preferred Stock contains several conversion rights, redemption features and other key provisions described below.
Holder Voluntary Conversion Rights
The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into a number of shares of common stock equal to the Conversion Rate, which is initially 294.1176 shares of common stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock, in each case subject to certain adjustments and certain limitations on conversion.
Issuer Call Provision
At any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date of the Private Placement, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than 250% of the Conversion Price as of such time for at least 20 consecutive trading days, we may elect to convert all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock.
Issuer Redemption Provision
After the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date of the Private Placement, subject to certain conditions, we may, at our option, redeem the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock, payable in cash, equal to the amount that must be paid by the Company in a corporate liquidation (the Liquidation Preference).
Change of Control Provisions
If we undergo certain change of control transactions, each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have the option, subject to the holder’s right to convert all or a portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder into common stock, to require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have not been converted into common stock at a purchase price per share of Series B Preferred Stock, payable in cash, equal to the greater of (A) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, and (B) the amount of cash and/or other assets that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had converted such share of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the change of control transaction (Change of Control Put).
In the event of a change of control in which we are not expected to be the surviving corporation or our common stock will no longer be listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, we will have a right to redeem, subject to the holder’s right to convert into common stock prior to such redemption, all of such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or if a holder exercises the Change of Control Put in part, the remainder of such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a redemption price per share payable in cash, equal to the greater of (A) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, and (B) the amount of cash and/or other assets that the holder would have received if such holder had converted such share of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the change of control transaction.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference (currently $3.40) and (ii) the amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock that such holder would have received had all holders of Series B Preferred Stock, immediately prior to such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, converted all shares of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained therein).
10. Shareholders’ Deficit
Stock Repurchase Program
On November 23, 2022, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions through December 31, 2023. We repurchased a total of 1,250,484 shares of common stock under the program at a cost of $2.5 million, excluding commission fees, for an average of $1.97 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cumulative repurchases under the program amount to 1,672,793 shares at a total cost of $3.0 million. The Company had a remaining authorization to repurchase up to approximately $17.0 million in shares under this program as of March 31, 2023. Repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.
Private Placement
In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, our stockholders approved on April 1, 2022, an increase in the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, that we are authorized to issue from 200.0 million shares to 400.0 million shares. Also, we adopted the 2022 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the 2022 Inducement Plan) with an initial reserve for issuance of approximately 9.5 million shares.
The Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Private Placement contains several rights and other key provisions that may result in the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to our common stock, as more fully discussed in Note 9. Common Shares Reserved
As of March 31, 2023, we had reserved shares of common stock for future issuance under equity compensation plans as follows (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Securities To Be Issued Upon Exercise Of Options | | Securities To Be Issued Upon Release Of Restricted Stock and Performance Share Units at Maximum | | Number Of Remaining Securities Available For Future Issuance |

Included in the securities to be issued upon release of RSUs and PSUs are the maximum number of shares that could be issued for PSU awards, which can vest at 0%-200% of the number of awards granted.
11. Benefit Plans
Plans
Our board of directors sets the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to our 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and the grant of stock options, RSUs and PSUs under our stock-based incentive plans. Our board of directors determines the number of awards to grant and sets the vesting criteria.
In general, RSUs vest on a quarterly basis over a period of four years from the date of grant at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and ratably each quarter over the remaining 12 quarters, or ratably over 16 quarters, subject to the employees’ continued employment. We may grant RSUs with different vesting terms from time to time.
Stock options granted under our 2022 Inducement Plan and 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2011 Plan) have a term of no more than ten years from the date of grant and an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Generally, options vest at a rate of either 25% on the first anniversary of the option grant date and ratably each month over the remaining period of 36 months, or ratably each month over 48 months. We may grant options with different vesting terms from time to time.
For PSUs, our board of directors sets the performance objectives and other vesting provisions in determining the number of shares or value of performance units and performance shares that will be paid out. Such payouts will be a function of the extent to which performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved.
2011 Equity Incentive Plan
In January 2011, our board of directors adopted the 2011 Plan under which incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, PSUs and performance shares may be granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. In April 2019, our board of directors authorized, and in June 2019, our stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2011 Plan to make various changes, including increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance by approximately 5.0 million shares and extending the term of the 2011 Plan until April 2029. In May 2020, our board of directors authorized, and in June 2020, our stockholders approved, an increase of 1.4 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan. In April 2021, our board of directors authorized, and in May 2021, our stockholders approved, an additional increase of 4.1 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan.
2017 ESPP
Our ESPP offers U.S. and some non-U.S. employees the right to purchase shares of our common stock. Our ESPP program has a six-month offering period, with a new period commencing on the first trading day on or after May 31 and November 30 of each year. Employees are eligible to participate through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their compensation. Employee stock purchases under this plan are limited to $25,000 for any calendar year. Shares are sold to employees under the ESPP for 85% of the lower of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of the offering period or the last day of the offering period.
2022 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan
As discussed in Note 10, we adopted the 2022 Inducement Plan in April 2022 and reserved 9.5 million shares of common stock for the issuance of equity-based awards, including non-statutory stock options, RSUs, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and PSUs. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, equity awards issued under the 2022 Inducement Plan are restricted to individuals who are not already employees or directors of the Company. The terms and conditions of the 2022 Inducement Plan are substantially similar to those of the 2011 Plan. Plan Activity
Activity under the various plans was as follows:

_______
(1)Aggregate intrinsic value as of March 31, 2023 was calculated as the difference between the closing price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of March, which was $1.95, and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options.
As of March 31, 2023, the unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding unvested options under our equity incentive plans were $14.2 million. We expect to recognize those costs over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.
Performance-based Awards
We have granted PSUs to certain executive officers and senior level employees. The number of PSUs ultimately earned under these awards is calculated by comparing the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of our common stock over the applicable three-year period against the TSR of a defined group of peer companies. The Company’s relative performance against its peer group determines the payout, which can range from 0% to 200% of the base awards
Activity under the TSR-based PSUs was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Units (in 000s) | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit |
Balance at December 31, 2022 | | 453 | | | $ | 4.81 | |

Balance at March 31, 2023 | | 52 | | | $ | 9.60 | |
As of March 31, 2023, the unrecognized compensation costs related to these awards were $0.2 million. We expect to recognize those costs over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.

Total stock-based compensation | | $ | 3,148 | | | $ | 4,042 | | | | | |
12. Income Taxes
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate. Our quarterly provision for income taxes also includes discrete items, such as changes in valuation allowances or adjustments upon finalization of tax returns as well as infrequently occurring items, if any, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
We recorded an income tax expense of $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in our tax provision reflects the effect of our foreign operations, which reported pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2023 and pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate (benefit) was 1.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to (0.7%) in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods differ from the 21% U.S. Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on domestic losses and the tax rate differences between the U.S. and foreign countries.
Our tax positions are subject to audits by multiple tax jurisdictions. We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for uncertain tax positions for all tax years still open for assessment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not recognize any material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
13. Segment Reporting
In the third quarter of 2022, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), instituted the practice of evaluating operating performance and making resource allocation decisions using two reportable segments: proteomics and genomics (also known as mass cytometry and microfluidics, respectively). Each segment is identified by its unique portfolio of products. Proteomics includes our instruments, consumables, software, and services based upon technologies used in the identification of proteins. Genomics includes our instruments, consumables, software, and services based upon technologies used in the identification of genes (DNA, RNA) and their functions.
We determine each segment’s loss from operations by subtracting direct expenses, including cost of product and service revenues, research and development expense, and sales and marketing expense, from revenues. Amortization, depreciation, and restructuring expenses are included in each segment’s operating expenses. Corporate costs, including general and administrative expenses for functions shared by both operating segments such as executive management, human resources, and finance, along with interest and taxes, are excluded from each segment’s results, which is consistent with how our CODM evaluates segment performance.
We do not prepare or report segmented balance sheet information as our CODM does not use the information to assess segment operating performance. The segments adhere to the same accounting policies that the Company adheres to as a whole. Segment reporting for historical periods has been included in this report to ensure comparability with the current year.

14. Restructuring and Other Related Costs
In August 2022, we announced a restructuring plan, including a reduction in force, to improve operational efficiency, achieve cost savings and align our Company’s workforce to the future needs of the business. In addition to the reduction in force, we are reducing leased office space, optimizing our manufacturing footprint, and streamlining support functions. We are employing a more disciplined cost management culture throughout our organization, investing in training, and plan to take advantage of more advanced technologies including upgrading our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
We record restructuring and other related costs as incurred. These items are classified within cost of product and service revenue, R&D expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized $0.3 million of restructuring expense and $0.1 million of other related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
We expect to complete all restructuring actions by the end of 2023 and to incur additional charges up to $2.0 million related primarily to employee severance and facility exit costs for the remainder of 2023. These estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ.
A summary of the changes in our restructuring and other related liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification
From time to time, we have entered into indemnification provisions under certain of our agreements in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, customers, and suppliers. Pursuant to these agreements, we may indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified parties on a case-by-case basis for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification provisions is generally perpetual from the time of the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is typically not limited to a specific amount. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers, directors, and certain other employees. With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among others, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding.
Contingencies
In September 2020, a putative class action complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws was filed against the Company (also naming our Chief Financial Officer and our former Chief Executive Officer as defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Reena Saintjermain, et al. v. Fluidigm Corporation, et al). On February 14, 2022, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint with prejudice. On March 15, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s decision. Following a hearing before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the dismissal was affirmed on February 21, 2023.
From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, contract law, tax, regulatory, distribution arrangements, employee relations and other matters. Periodically, we review the status of each matter and assess its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible loss can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. We have not recorded any such liabilities in any of the periods presented. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we continue to reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates.
