On January 17, 2020, Alpha Holdings, Inc. released a shareholder letter to the shareholders of OncoSec Medical Incorporated (the “Shareholder Letter”) which can be downloaded at www.VoteNoOncoSec.com. A copy of the Shareholder Letter is attached herewith as Exhibit 1.

 

 

 

 

 

  

   

 

January 17, 2020

 

Dear Fellow OncoSec Stockholders:

 

On January 14, 2020, Alpha delivered a binding term sheet1 to OncoSec, detailing the terms of an offer that we believe is superior to the China Grand Takeover and in the best interests of stockholders.

 

Two days later, OncoSec rejected Alpha’s superior financing proposal, which represents $39.3 million of value compared with the $30 million China Grand Takeover Proposal,2 including the opportunity for stockholders to receive a cash premium for 35% of OncoSec shares through a tender offer of $2.50 per share.

 

In the press release announcing its rejection, OncoSec attempted to mischaracterize Alpha’s offer, confuse investors and, we believe, entrench management. Here are the facts:

 

Alpha will NOT let OncoSec run out of money before it can complete clinical trials. If its proposal were accepted, Alpha would continue to be OncoSec’s largest stockholder. Even before funding any part of the $30 million direct investment into OncoSec, Alpha would already have over $25 million invested in the company. It is completely illogical to believe Alpha would invest $25 million only to allow OncoSec to run out of money.

 

Alpha’s offer IS superior and IS in the best interest of stockholders. Alpha is offering $39.3 million versus $30 million from China Grand, and giving stockholders the opportunity to receive a cash premium if they choose. Stockholders get no cash whatsoever under the China Grand Takeover and there is no certainty that China Grand will ever offer cash to OncoSec’s stockholders.

 

Alpha would NOT get control “before Alpha makes any cash investment.” Alpha already has invested $17 million in OncoSec and is making a commitment to invest an additional $39.3 million.

 

Stockholders CANNOT count on China Grand to invest at $4.50 per share. China Grand has no obligation whatsoever to exercise its so-called “option” and purchase shares at $4.50. In fact, one year and one day after its deal closes China Grand can offer any price they want or nothing at all. In fact, we believe that a reasonable interpretation of the legal agreements between OncoSec and China Grand permit China Grand to make offers at prices below $4.50 even before the expiration of the one-year period. Alpha, on the other hand, has guaranteed a 25% premium regardless of where the stock is trading.

  

 

 

 

1 The binding term sheet has been filed with the SEC and is available at: https://votenooncosec.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Binding-Term-Sheet-Letter_Signed.pdf
2 “China Grand” refers collectively to China Grand Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Holdings (“CGP”) and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc. (“Sirtex”), an affiliate of GCP.

Alpha’s Offer is NOT “contingency-laden.” The only significant conditions are that OncoSec terminate the China Grand Takeover and allow a new leadership team to run the company. We believe the need for new leadership is clear.

 

Alpha’s Offer is NOT more dilutive than China Grand’s. Both Alpha’s offer and the China Grand Takeover contemplate issuing $30 million in new equity. Without knowing OncoSec’s future stock price, there is no possible way for OncoSec to conclude at the present time which offer would be more dilutive, and we believe it is highly misleading for OncoSec to suggest otherwise. In addition, Alpha’s offer would pay stockholders a cash premium for up to 35% of OncoSec’s outstanding shares.

 

Alpha’s motives are CLEAR. Far from being “questionable,” as OncoSec states, Alpha has been clear from the beginning – it thinks the China Grand Takeover is a bad deal. Alpha is now willing to finance OncoSec with more money and give stockholders the opportunity for a cash premium. Why is OncoSec leadership so resistant?

 

Details of Alpha’s Offer

  

$39.3 Million Alpha’s total additional investment in OncoSec
   
$9.3 Million All-cash tender offer to purchase 35% of OncoSec stock directly from current stockholders @ $2.50/share
   
           +  
$30.0 Million Purchase newly issued OncoSec common stock in two tranches over the next year3
   
The terms of Alpha’s offer have no financing contingency but would require (among other conditions set forth in the binding term sheet):
   
The termination of two Stock Purchase Agreements, dated October 10, 2019, between OncoSec and China Grand and OncoSec and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of China Grand;
   
The termination of the License Agreement, dated October 10, 2019, between OncoSec and China Grand;
   
The termination of the Services Agreement, dated October 10, 2019, between OncoSec and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc.;
   
The termination of all severance or “golden parachute” payments to current members of management as a result of Alpha’s proposed transaction; and
   
The resignation of Dan O’Connor, Avtar Dhillon and Punit Dhillon from all positions held at OncoSec.
     

 

 

 

3 The first tranche of $10 million would be at a purchase price of $2.50 per share and would be completed no later than six months after Alpha and OncoSec enter into a definitive agreement. The second tranche of $12.5 million would be purchased at a premium of 25% of the volume weighted average price of OncoSec common stock for the 30 days prior to the date of Alpha exercising the tranche and would be completed no later than one year after Alpha and OncoSec enter into a definitive agreement.

If you support Alpha’s efforts to block the China Grand Takeover, it is very important that you vote AGAINST the transaction on the BLUE proxy card.

 

Remember: Please simply discard any WHITE proxy card you may receive from OncoSec. Any vote on OncoSec’s WHITE proxy card (even a vote in protest) will revoke any earlier proxy card that you have submitted to Alpha. Furthermore, any vote on OncoSec’s WHITE proxy card, even a vote “AGAINST”, MAY ACTUALLY HELP the China Grand Takeover of OncoSec.

 

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU VOTE “AGAINST” ONLY ON THE BLUE PROXY CARD AND NOT THE WHITE PROXY CARD. If you have mistakenly voted on the WHITE proxy card or require assistance in voting your BLUE proxy card, please contact Okapi Partners at the phone numbers or email address listed below.
