Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Offering of Common Stock and Warrants
On June 16, 2015, Ocata Therapeutics, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Jefferies LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, related to a public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), together with accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). In addition, the Underwriting Agreement provides the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 825,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase an additional 412,500 shares of common stock from the Company.
The Shares and Warrants are being sold in combination, with one Warrant for each Share sold, representing the right to purchase 0.50 shares of common stock. The combined purchase price to the public for each Share and accompanying Warrant is $5.50. The combined purchase price to be paid by the underwriters to the Company for the Shares and accompanying Warrants will be $5.17. The closing of the offering is expected to take place on June 22, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and accompanying Warrants, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants issued in the offering, will be approximately $28.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Warrants may be exercised at any time after December 22, 2015 until December 22, 2020. The initial exercise price for the Warrants will be $7.48 subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock.
The Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-199311) registering an aggregate of $100 million of designated securities of the Company. The shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 14, 2014.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 legal opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, relating to the validity of the Shares and the binding nature of the Warrants issued in the Offering, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.
The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Warrants are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by such documents attached herewith as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
