Capital Stock

Pre-Funded Warrants

Pursuant to transactions completed in 2021, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 21,434,782 and 11,363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock to RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P.

(RA Capital) and Redmile Group, LLC (Redmile), respectively. The per share exercise price of the pre-funded warrants is $.01. RA Capital and Redmile are each considered related parties pursuant to ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures.

The pre-funded warrants’ fundamental transaction provision does not provide the warrant holders with the option to settle any unexercised warrants for cash in the event of any fundamental transactions; rather, in all fundamental transaction scenarios, the warrant holder will only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock, or any combination thereof. The pre-funded warrants also include a separate provision whereby the exercisability of the warrants may be limited if, upon exercise, the warrant holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. This threshold is subject to the holder’s rights under the pre-funded warrants to increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company.

The Company assessed the pre-funded warrants for appropriate equity or liability classification pursuant to the Company’s accounting policy described in Note B, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” During this assessment, the Company determined the pre-funded warrants are freestanding instruments that do not meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480 and do not meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to ASC 815. The pre-funded warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet all other conditions for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815. Based on the results of this assessment, the Company concluded that the pre-funded warrants are freestanding equity-linked financial instruments that meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815. Accordingly, the pre-funded warrants were classified as equity and accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance and at each subsequent balance sheet date. The Company also determined that the pre-funded warrants should be included in the determination of basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Redmile completed a cashless exercise in full of its outstanding pre-funded warrant to purchase 11,357,272 shares of the Company’s common stock and RA Capital exercised 11,000,000 of its 21,434,872 pre-funded warrants outstanding, resulting in the issuance of 10,992,330 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with RA Capital pursuant to which RA Capital exchanged 21,853,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for 21,853 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the Series A Preferred Stock).

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at any time until the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, at which time the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company has the right to request the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Company’s common stock in certain circumstances. The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock is subject to certain limitations, including that the holder will be prohibited from converting Series A Preferred Stock into the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder (together with its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would be aggregated with the holder for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) would beneficially own a number of shares of the Company’s common stock above a conversion blocker, which is initially set at 9.99% (the Conversion Blocker) of the Company’s total common stock then issued and outstanding immediately following the conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are permitted to increase or decrease the Conversion Blocker to an amount not to exceed 19.99% upon 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the affirmative vote of the holders of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be required to amend the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or enter into an agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a nominal preference of $0.001 per share of Series A Preferred Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company (the Liquidation Preference) before any payments are made or any assets are distributed to holders of the

Company’s common stock. However, if the amount payable to holders of the Company’s common stock upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is greater than the Liquidation Preference on a per share basis, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will instead receive, on a per-share and as-converted basis, the same assets that are distributed to holders of the Company’s common stock. In the event of certain fundamental transactions, including a merger, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically receive, as consideration for the Series A Preferred Stock, the same kind and amount of securities, cash, or property as the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive had the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock instead held the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the occurrence of the fundamental transaction, subject to certain exceptions.

The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock for liability or equity classification under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the Preferred Stock did not meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash or other assets on a fixed or determinable date or at the option of the holder. Additionally, as noted above, upon the liquidation of the Company or in the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger or acquisition, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will receive the same assets that are distributed to the holders of the Company’s common stock. As such, the Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock as permanent equity.

Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors

Pursuant to the Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors, as amended, non-employee directors are granted restricted stock units (RSUs) upon initial election to the Board of Directors and annually thereafter. Initial and annual RSUs vest annually over approximately three years and one year from the date of grant, respectively, contingent upon the individual remaining a director of ImmunoGen as of each vesting date. The number of RSUs awarded is fixed per the policy on the date of the award. All unvested RSUs will automatically vest immediately prior to the occurrence of a change of control or in the event a director ceases to serve as a member of the Board due to death or disability. Directors can elect to defer or re-defer RSU and/or deferred share unit (DSU) awards under the Company’s 2004 Non-Employee Director Compensation and Deferred Share Unit Plan, as amended. The directors received a total of approximately 105,000 RSUs in June 2023. Prior to 2023, non-employee directors were granted DSUs with similar vesting to the RSUs.

Pursuant to the Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors, as amended, non-employee directors also receive stock option awards upon initial election to the Board of Directors and annually thereafter. The directors received a total of approximately 157,000 and 322,000 options in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is included in the amounts discussed in the “Stock-Based Compensation” section of Note B above.

In addition, pursuant to the Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors, as amended, the Company may issue the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s directors at each director’s election. The directors received a total of 14,112 shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash in 2023. Prior to 2023, directors could not elect to receive the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash.
