Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Preferred Purchase Agreement
On March 27, 2023, Delcath Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Preferred Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Preferred Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Preferred Offering”), (i) 24,900 shares of Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F-1 Preferred Stock”), (ii) tranche A warrants (the “Preferred Tranche A Warrant”) to acquire shares of Series F-3 Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F-3 Preferred Stock”) and (iii) tranche B warrants (the “Preferred Tranche B Warrant,” together with the Preferred Tranche A Warrant, the “Preferred Warrants”) to acquire shares of Series F-4 Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F-4 Preferred Stock” and together with the Series F-3 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Warrant Shares”) for an aggregate offering price of $24.9 million.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series F Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Certificate of Designation”), each share of Series F-1 Preferred Stock is, subject to the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), automatically convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and/or, if applicable, shares of Series F-2 Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Series F-2 Preferred Stock” and together with the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, the “Issued Preferred Stock”), in lieu of Common Stock.
The aggregate exercise price of the Preferred Tranche A Warrants is approximately $34.8 million, exercisable for an aggregate of 34,860 shares of Series F-3 Preferred Stock commencing on the Exercisability Date (as defined in the Form of Preferred Tranche A Warrant) until the earlier of 21 days following the Company’s announcement of receipt of approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for HEZPATO and March 31, 2026 (such approval, the “FDA Approval”).
The aggregate exercise price of the Preferred Tranche B Warrants is approximately $24.9 million, exercisable for an aggregate of 24,900 shares of Series F-4 Preferred Stock commencing on the Exercisability Date (as defined in the Form of Preferred Tranche B Warrant) until the earlier of 21 days following the Company’s announcement of receipt of recording at least $10 million in quarterly U.S. revenue from the commercialization of HEPZATO and March 31, 2026; provided, however, that if the FDA Approval occurs on or before February 15, 2024 and the holder of the Preferred Tranche B Warrant has not exercised its Preferred Tranche A Warrant by or before March 7, 2024, then any Series F-4 Preferred Stock not yet exercised pursuant to the Preferred Tranche B Warrant at such time shall expire.
Subject to the terms and limitations contained in the Certificate of Designation, the Series F-1 Preferred Stock issued in the Preferred Offering will not become convertible until the Company’s stockholders approve (i) the issuance of all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Issued Preferred Stock and the Preferred Warrant Shares and (ii) the issuance of the Preferred Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants (collectively, the “Stockholder Approval”). On the first (1st) Trading Day (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) following the announcement of the Stockholder Approval, each share of Series F-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into Common Stock, at the conversion price of $3.30 per share, subject to the terms and limitations contained in the Certificate of Designation. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designation, at the option of the holder, each share of Series F-2 Preferred Stock, Series F-3 Preferred Stock or Series F-4 Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock, at the conversion price of $3.30 per share, $4.50 per share and $6.00 per share, respectively, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and in each case subject to the terms and limitations contained in the Certificate of Designation.
Common Purchase Agreement
On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Common Purchase Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Gerard Michel (the “Common Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Common Offering”), (i) 19,646 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), (ii) tranche A warrants (“Common Tranche A Warrant”) to acquire Common Stock, tranche B warrants (the “Common Tranche B Warrant”, together with the Common Tranche A Warrant, the “Common Warrants”)
to acquire shares of Common Stock for an approximate aggregate offering price of $100,000. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants collectively are referred to herein as the “Common Warrant Shares”.
The aggregate exercise price of the Common Tranche A Warrants is approximately $139,997, exercisable for an aggregate of 31,110 shares of Common Stock commencing on the Exercisability Date (as defined in the Form of Common Tranche A Warrant) until the earlier of 21 days following the Company’s announcement of receipt of FDA Approval and March 31, 2026.
The aggregate exercise price of the Common Tranche B Warrants is approximately $99,998, exercisable for an aggregate of 16,666 shares of Common Stock commencing on the Exercisability Date (as defined in the Common Tranche B Warrant) until the earlier of 21 days following the Company’s announcement of receipt of recording at least $10 million in quarterly U.S. revenue from the commercialization of HEPZATO and March 31, 2026; provided, however, that if the FDA Approval occurs on or before February 15, 2024 and the holder of the Common Tranche B Warrant has not exercised its Common Tranche A Warrant by or before March 7, 2024, then any warrants not yet exercised pursuant to the Common Tranche B Warrant at such time shall expire.
Preferred and Common Offerings
The closing of the Preferred Offering and Common Offering (together, the “Offering”) took place on March 29, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Neither offering is contingent on the closing of the other offering. The gross proceeds of the Offering are estimated to be approximately $25.0 million, before deducting fees paid to the placement agent and financial advisors of the Offering and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement and the Common Purchase Agreement (together, the “Purchase Agreements”), as soon as practicable following the receipt of the Stockholder Approval (the “Filing Date”) (and in any event no later than fifteen (15) days thereafter), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 providing for the resale by the Preferred Investors and Common Investor of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Registrable Shares (as defined in the Purchase Agreements, as applicable) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within twenty-one (21) days following the Filing Date (or, in the event that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission reviews and has written comments to such registration statement, within forty-five (45) days following the Filing Date). The Company further agreed to take all steps necessary to keep such registration statement effective at all times until all Registrable Shares have been resold, or there remains no Registrable Shares.
The Purchase Agreements contain certain representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for similar transactions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreements were made solely for the benefit of the parties to each of the respective Purchase Agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company shall modify its dividend policy to state that, subject to compliance with any restricted covenants in any of the Company’s existing debt facilities, the Company shall consider in good faith the issuance of dividends or share buybacks, from time to time, from the Company’s annual net cash flow.
Additionally, pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement and as soon as practicable following the date of the FDA Approval, the Company shall appoint a director designated by the purchasers purchasing a majority of the securities being sold under the Preferred Purchase Agreement.
The securities issued in the Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and until so registered the securities may not be offered or sold absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration. There is no established public trading market for the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, Series F-2 Preferred Stock, Preferred Warrants, Preferred Warrant Shares or Common Warrants and the Company does not intend to list such securities on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
The form of each Preferred Warrant, Common Warrant and the Purchase Agreements are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the Series F-1 Preferred Stock, the Series F-2 Preferred Stock, the Preferred Warrants, the Preferred Warrant Shares, the Common Warrants and Common Warrant Shares and the Common Stock and the terms of the Purchase Agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of such documents, where applicable, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Series F Preferred Stock
The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Purchase Agreement, on March 28, 2023, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of State designating 24,900 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series F-1 Preferred Stock, 24,900 shares as Series F-2 Preferred Stock, 34,860 shares as Series F-3 Convertible Preferred Stock and 24,900 shares as Series F-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (all such series of preferred stock referred to herein collectively as “Series F Preferred Stock”), each with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Original Per Share Price”). The Certificate of Designation sets forth the rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock. Terms not otherwise defined in this item shall have the meanings given in the Certificate of Designation.
The following is a summary of the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock:
Dividends. At all times following March 29, 2023, while shares of Series F Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends on shares of Series F Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis and without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein or otherwise) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. If such dividends are not declared and paid in cash, the dividend amounts will be added to the aggregate Liquidation Preference then outstanding of the Series F Preferred Stock (such dividends will accumulate and will be included (i) in the payments made upon redemption or Liquidation and (ii) for purposes of conversion and voting, but not to exceed 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 27, 2023 without Stockholder Approval).
Voting Rights. Subject to certain limitations described in the Certificate of Designation, the Series F Preferred Stock is voting stock. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the Common Stock on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Accordingly, holders of Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each whole share of Common Stock into which their Series F Preferred Stock is then-convertible on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Unless and until the Company has obtained the Stockholder Approval, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deemed issued upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock (for purposes of calculating the number of aggregate votes that the holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to on an as-converted basis) will be equal to that number of shares equal to 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the Signing Date (excluding for purposes of the calculation, any securities issued on the Signing Date) (the “Cap”), which each such holder being able to vote the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by it relative to the total number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding multiplied by the Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote together with the Common Stock on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock-basis with regard to the approval of the issuance of Units upon conversion of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock and the issuance of all Common Stock upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock.
Liquidation. Prior to the Stockholder Approval, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, including a change of control transaction, or Deemed Liquidation Event (any such event, a “Liquidation”) the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, and in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or the other proceeds available for distribution to stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of any other shares of capital stock of the Company by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) three times (3X) the Original Per Share Price, together with any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon (the “Liquidation Preference”) or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series F Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the Certificate of Designation or otherwise) immediately prior to such Liquidation (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series F Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such Liquidation, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock the full Liquidation Preference, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. After the payment in full of all Series F Liquidation Amount, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the consideration not payable to the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designation shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.
Following the Stockholder Approval, upon any Liquidation, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all shares of Series F Preferred Stock as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation immediately prior to such Liquidation, without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the Certificate of Designation or otherwise.
Redemption. Unless prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders, in the event the Stockholder Approval is not obtained within one (1) year following the Issuance Date, shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the then Liquidation Preference at any time for up to three (3) years following the Issuance Date commencing not more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company at any time on or after the one (1) year anniversary of the Issuance Date of written notice from the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class (the “Redemption Request”) requesting redemption of all shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock (such date, the “Redemption Date”). Upon receipt of a Redemption Request, the Company shall apply all of its assets to any such redemption, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. On the Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock owned by each holder, the total number of shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that Excluded Shares shall not be redeemed and shall be excluded from the calculations set forth in this sentence. If, on the Redemption Date, Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Company from redeeming all shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Company
shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Certificate of Designation, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
