Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On April 12, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, with Innoviva, Inc., or Innoviva, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Innoviva, in a private placement under the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, rules up to 14,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, or the Common Stock, and warrants, or the Common Warrants, to purchase up to 14,000,000 shares of the Common Stock, each with an exercise price per share of $2.50, collectively the Private Placement. The Common Warrants will be exercisable immediately and will have a five-year term. Each share of Common Stock and Common Warrant, or together, the Common Unit, will be issued and sold together to Innoviva at a price per Common Unit of $2.50.

 

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Private Placement occurs in two tranches. At the closing of the first tranche, or the First Closing, which occurred on April 22, 2020, Innoviva purchased 1,322,510 shares of the Common Stock and the Common Warrants to purchase 1,322,510 shares of the Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.3 million. At the closing of the second tranche, or the Second Closing, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the Company’s stockholders’ voting in favor of the transaction, Innoviva will purchase the remaining shares of the Common Stock and Common Warrants, which is anticipated to be 12,677,490 shares of the Common Stock and the Common Warrants to purchase 12,677,490 shares of the Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $31.7 million.

 

The Company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement of $35.0 million, before deducting transaction expenses, and excluding proceeds (if any) received in connection with the exercise of any of the Common Warrants. At the effective time of the Second Closing, assuming the exercise of all of the Common Warrants, Innoviva will hold approximately 67.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as certain operating covenants applicable to the Company until the Second Closing. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for both the Company and Innoviva, including, but not limited to, mutual written consent of the parties; by either party, if a governmental entity of competent jurisdiction issues a final and non-appealable order; and by either party, upon the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of the Securities Purchase Agreement by the other that is not cured before the earlier of the 10th day following notice of such breach and the termination date. If the Second Closing does not occur under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Innoviva a termination fee in an amount equal to $850,000, plus reimbursement of expenses, which are capped at $250,000.

 

The Second Closing is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions referenced above. To date, the Company has incurred $0.2 million in financing costs in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement.

  

Investor Rights Agreement

 

At the First Closing, Innoviva and the Company entered into an investors rights agreement, or the Investor Rights Agreement, which provides that for so long as Innoviva and its affiliates hold at least 15% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, Innoviva shall have the right to designate two directors to the board of directors of the Company, or the Board; and for so long as Innoviva and its affiliates hold at least 8% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, Innoviva shall have the right to designate one director to the Board, subject to certain qualifications and conditions in the Investor Rights Agreement. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides for participation rights for Innoviva to participate pro rata in future offerings of securities by the Company.

  

Registration Rights Agreements

 

At the First Closing, the Company and Innoviva entered into a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company must prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to resales of the shares of the Common Stock and the Common Warrants purchased by Innoviva under the Securities Purchase Agreement within 30 days of the First Closing.
