Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 7, 2019, Pulmatrix, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 1,706,484 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $1.465 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million before the deduction of placement agent fees and offering expenses. The Shares are being offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on FormS-3 (FileNo. 333-212546), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 15, 2016, and was declared effective by the Commission on August 3, 2016 (the “Registration Statement”), and a related prospectus.
In a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”), the Company agreed to issue to the Purchasers, for each share of Common Stock purchased in the Offering, a common warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”). The Common Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate five andone-half years following issuance. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.34 per share and are exercisable to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,706,484 shares of Common Stock. A holder of a Common Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.
The Common Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are not being offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
In the Purchase Agreement, we agreed not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of 15 days following the closing of the Offering; provided, however, that the foregoing prohibition will terminate in the event the closing bid price of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than $1.95 for two consecutive trading days.
The closing of the Offering and the Private Placement is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and is expected to occur on or around February 12, 2019. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is filed with this report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
On January 24, 2019, the Company entered into an engagement letter (the “Engagement Letter”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement. The Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received in the Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement and a management fee of 1.0% of the gross proceeds received in the Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement. In addition, the Company has agreed to grant to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 110,922 shares of
