Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 28, 2021, Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), to issue and sell in an upsized firm commitment offering 35,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-231922) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”). The offering price to the public was $1.00 per share of Common Stock. Wainwright agreed to purchase the shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $0.93 per share (representing an underwriting discount of seven percent (7.0%), other than on shares sold to GMS Ventures & Investments (“GMS Ventures”), an affiliate of BioLexis Pte. Ltd., the Company’s largest stockholder, and the Company also agreed to reimburse them in the sum of up to $100,000 in connection with this offering, $35,000 for non-accountable expenses and clearing fees of $12,900. The Company also agreed to pay Wainwright a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds in this offering, excluding shares sold to GMS Ventures. In addition, the Company granted Wainwright an option to purchase, for a period of 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, up to an additional 5,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $32.5 million, or approximately $37.3 million if Wainwright exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The closing of the Offering occurred on February 2, 2021. Wainwright acted as the sole book-running manager for the Offering.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and Wainwright, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

A copy of the opinion of Cooley LLP as to the legality of the shares of Common Stock to be issued and sold in the Offering and related consent is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Underwriter Warrants

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company will issue 5-year warrants (the “Wainwright Warrants”) to the Wainwright or its designees, to purchase shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares sold in the Offering (excluding any shares sold to GMS Ventures), or 1,864,800 shares of Common Stock (or if Wainwright exercises its option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in full, 2,232,300 shares of Common Stock), at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. (equal to 125% of the offering price). Neither the issuance of the Wainwright Warrants nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Wainwright Warrants (the "Wainwright Warrant Shares") are registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Wainwright Warrants and the Wainwright Warrant Shares will be issued in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
