AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE SALES AGREEMENT
August 17, 2022
Cowen and Company, LLC
599 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY 10022
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Sales Agreement, dated March 15, 2022 (the “Agreement”), by and between Unity Biotechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Cowen and Company, LLC (the “Agent”). The Company and the Agent (collectively, the “Parties”) wish to amend the Agreement, pursuant to Section 15 of the Agreement, to reduce the aggregate offering price under the Agreement (this “Amendment”). The Parties therefore hereby agree as follows:
1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The first paragraph of Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell to or through Cowen, acting as agent and/or principal, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000 (the “Placement Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitation set forth in this Section 1 on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and Cowen shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of the Placement Shares through Cowen will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) to be filed by the Company and after such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement (as defined below) to issue the Placement Shares.
2. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF, THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS.
