Foreign exchange income and expense is mainly derived from the translation of the U.S. Dollar cash, cash equivalents and securities held by InflaRx GmbH.
Other finance expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes a 0.1 million gain from a reduction in the allowance for expected credit loss on marketable securities (2019: nil). Cumulative net expense

The annual general meeting on July 16, 2020, approved an amendment to the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) with effect from January 1, 2021:
Due to terminations in the third quarter of 2020, effective July 1, 2020, we have revised our assumptions about the number of equity instruments that will vest in future quarters. As a result of this change in
estimate, we recognized a benefit of 53.1 thousand in research and development expenses and a benefit of 63.4 thousand in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2020, and we will record 52.7 thousand less
expense in research and development expenses and 36.8 thousand less expense in general and administrative expenses from share-based payments in the remaining vesting periods until June 30, 2022.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 164,974 shares were issued upon the exercise of share options, resulting in proceeds to the Company in the amount of 497 thousand. Of the share options exercised, 86,632
were granted under the 2016 Share Option Plan and 78,342 were granted under the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
In the nine months ending September 30, 2019, 140,876 shares were issued following the exercise of stock options, resulting in proceeds to the Company in the
amount of 1.7 thousand. All stock options exercised were granted under the 2012 Stock Option Plan.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has recognized (588) thousand and 897 thousand, respectively, (2019: 1,001 thousand, 5,689 thousand) of share-based payment expense/(benefit) in
the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The gain recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes an adjustment for forfeited share options.
None of the share-based payments awards were dilutive in determining earnings per share due to the Group's loss position.
According to the articles of association of the Company, up to 55,000,000 common shares and up to 55,000,000 preferred shares with a nominal value of 0.12 per share are authorized to be issued. All shares are
registered shares. No share certificates shall be issued.
In order to deter acquisition bids, the Company`s general meeting of shareholders approved the right of an in-dependent foundation under Dutch law, or protective foundation, to exercise a call option pursuant to the
call option agreement, upon which preferred shares will be issued by the Company to the protective foundation of up to 100% of the Company's issued capital held by others than the protective foundation, minus one share. The protective foundation is
expected to enter into a finance arrangement with a bank or, subject to applicable restrictions under Dutch law, the protective foundation may request us to provide, or cause the Company's subsidiaries to provide, sufficient funding to the
protective foundation to enable it to satisfy its payment obligation under the call option agreement.
These preferred shares will have both a liquidation and dividend preference over the Company`s common shares and will accrue cash dividends at a pre-determined rate. The protective foundation would be expected to
re-quire us to cancel its preferred shares once the perceived threat to the Company and its stake-holders has been removed or sufficiently mitigated or neutralized. We are of the opinion that the call option does not represent a significant fair
value based on a Level 3 valuation, since the preference shares are restricted in use and can be can-celled by us as stated above.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company expensed 15 thousand and 45 thousand, respectively, (2019: 18 thousand, 68 thousand) of ongoing costs to reimburse expenses incurred by the
protective foundation.

with severe COVID-19 induced pneumonia.
