Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation |
Private Placement of Senior Secured Promissory Notes and Warrants
As previously disclosed, on October 9, 2014, InSite Vision Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Riverbank Capital Securities, Inc., broker-dealer, as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), and the purchasers party thereto (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 21, 2014 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its 12% Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) and issue warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Purchasers committed to purchase Notes, in one or more tranches, upon request by the Company, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $7,795,000.
On October 9, 2014, the Company sold and issued Notes to the Purchasers having an aggregate principal amount equal to $2,381,666.65, and the Purchasers received Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,053,169 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. On November 21, 2014, the Company sold and issued Notes to the Purchasers having an aggregate principal amount equal to $216,666.67, and the Purchasers received Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,620 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. On December 10, 2014, the Company sold and issued Notes to the Purchasers having an aggregate principal amount equal to $2,598,333.32, and the Purchasers received Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,824,281 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.26 per share. On April 17, 2015 (the “Final Closing”), the Company sold and issued Notes to the Purchasers having an aggregate principal amount equal to $2,598,333.36, and the Purchasers received Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,464,456 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per share.
The Company has now utilized the total loan commitment by the Purchasers of $7.8 million under the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the Company cannot sell and issue additional Notes or issue additional Warrants in connection with such Notes under the Purchase Agreement.
Terms of the Notes
The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, including its intellectual property, pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2014 (the “Security Agreement”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, the collateral agent for the Purchasers.
The Notes have an initial maturity date of one year from the date of issuance, which may be extended at the option of the Company until the date that is two years from the date of issuance. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. In the event that the Company extends the maturity date under the Notes, the interest rate increases to 14% per annum for such additional one-year period. Payments of interest under the Notes are due semi-annually or upon the earlier of the applicable maturity date and an Event of Acceleration under, and as defined in, the Notes. An Event of Acceleration includes customary events of default.

Each Note may be redeemed at the Company’s option at any time upon 10 days prior written notice to the holder of the Note, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Note plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon (and, under certain circumstances, an additional payment of all interest due to the end of the relevant maturity date).
The Notes also contain a mandatory redemption provision which requires the Company to redeem the Notes in full (and, under certain circumstances make an additional payment of all interest due to the end of the relevant maturity date) within 10 days following the consummation of a Qualified Financing or a Sale of Maker (as such terms are defined in the Notes).
The Notes also contain certain negative covenants, subject to certain customary exceptions, that restrict or prohibit the Company from incurring additional indebtedness; creating or granting liens on its assets; engaging in certain transactions with officers, directors or other affiliates; repurchasing equity securities or declaring dividends on its capital stock; or changing its primary line of business without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.
Terms of the Warrants
The Warrants are exercisable for 8,542,526 shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate.
The Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or other reclassifications or combinations of the Common Stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain “fundamental transactions,” such as a merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in a single transaction or a series of transactions, the holders of the Warrants, at their option, will be entitled to receive in cash an amount equal to the “Black Scholes value” of the Warrants as of the date of such “fundamental transaction” as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) within 90 days of the Final Closing to register the resale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued in connection with the Final Closing. The Company has also agreed to use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the Commission within 120 days of the Final Closing (or 180 days after the Final Closing in the event the Commission issues comments on the registration statement).
Certain Fees Paid in the Offering
The Placement Agent acted as the placement agent for the offering of Notes and Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and receives a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes and issuance of the Warrants in each tranche. The amount of the commission paid with respect to the Final Closing was $155,900 and with respect to the

entire offering was $467,700. Timothy McInerney, the Chairman of the Board of the Company and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is a principal of the Placement Agent and is a Purchaser in the offering of Notes and Warrants on the same terms as the other Purchasers.
The descriptions set forth above in this Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified in their entirety by the Warrants, Purchase Agreement, Security Agreement and Notes, which were previously filed with the Commission.
Item 3.02. | Unregistered Sales of Securities |
The sale of the Notes and issuance of the Warrants were not registered in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”) or pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as such transactions did not involve a public offering of securities. The information included in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
