SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED NOVEMBER 6, 1998
5,687,279 Shares
XOMA CORPORATION
COMMON STOCK
This Prospectus relates to 5,687,279 shares of Common Stock, par value
$.0005 per share (the "Common Stock"), of XOMA Corporation (the "Company"),
which have been registered for sale from time to time by the selling
stockholders named herein or their permitted transferees or successors (the
"Selling Stockholders"). Any or all of the Common Stock being registered hereby
may be sold from time to time to purchasers directly by the Selling
Stockholders. Alternatively, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time
offer the Common Stock through underwriters, dealers or agents who may receive
compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions
from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of Common Stock for whom
they may act as agent. Any such Selling Stockholder, and any such underwriters,
dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of Common Stock, may be
deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of the Common Stock by
them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by them may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). To the extent required, the names of
the Selling Stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold,
purchase price, public offering price, the name of any agent, dealer or
underwriter and any applicable commission or discount or other items
constituting compensation or indemnification arrangements with respect to a
particular offering will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.
The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders
of the Common Stock offered hereby. The shares of Common Stock to which this
Prospectus relates (2,317,293 of which have been issued as of October 31, 1998)
were or will be issued to the Selling Stockholders from time to time upon
conversion of or as dividends on shares of Series H Preferred Stock (as defined
herein) or upon exercise of warrants received in the Series H Private Placement
(as defined herein), which took place in June 1998, and, in the case of certain
Selling Stockholders, upon exercise of warrants received as compensation for
acting as placement agents in the Series G Private Placement (as defined
herein), which took place in August 1997, and the Series H Private Placement.
The holders of Series H Preferred Stock have the right to convert shares of
Series H Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to (a) a
percentage of the 5-day trailing average market price of the Common Stock at the
time of conversion, beginning at 100% immediately following the closing of the
Series H Private Placement and declining by 2% per month until such percentage
equals 88%, or (b) during the first six months following such closing, the
lesser of the foregoing percentage and 140% of the 5-day trailing average market
price of the Common Stock as of the date of such closing. Thus, the conversion
price will generally change with changes in the market price of the Common Stock
and initially with the passage of time. The Selling Stockholders have also
agreed to certain limitations on their ability to convert, and have certain
additional rights, as more fully set forth under "Description of Equity
Securities - The Series H Preferred Stock." The warrants to purchase such shares
expire on August 14, 2000 and June 26, 2001. See "Description of Equity
Securities - The Series G Warrants" and "-- The Series H Warrants." As of
October 31, 1998, an aggregate of 5,687,279 shares of Common Stock (or 11.4% of
the shares thereof outstanding on such date, after giving effect to the issuance
of shares thereof not yet issued) have been issued or are issuable upon
conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock and the warrants to purchase shares
of Common Stock to which this Prospectus relates.
All Registration Expenses (as defined herein) incurred in connection with
the registration of the Common Stock to which this Prospectus relates will be
borne by the Company. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under
the Securities
Act, or to contribute to payments which the Selling Stockholders may be required
to make in respect thereof. See "Plan of Distribution."
The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
"XOMA." The last reported sale price of the Common Stock as reported by the
Nasdaq National Market on October 30, 1998 was $3 3/8 per share.
The Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk
Factors" beginning on page 5 for a discussion of certain factors that should be
considered by prospective investors.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference
in this Prospectus, the following factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating an investment in the shares of Common Stock offered by this
Prospectus.
No Assurance of Regulatory Approvals or Additional Product Development
XOMA's products are subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing
requirements and to approval processes by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(the "FDA") and similar authorities in other countries. The Company's products
are primarily regulated under the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and Section
351(a) of the Public Health Service Act. Most of the Company's human therapeutic
products are or will be classified as biologic products and would be subject to
regulation by the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research ("CBER").
Approval of a biologic product for commercialization requires licensure of the
product and the manufacturing facilities.
In December 1992, XOMA submitted an investigational new drug application
("IND") to the FDA to begin Phase I human testing of Neuprex(TM), a
recombinantly-derived modified fragment of human
bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein ("BPI"). In March 1993, the Company
initiated human safety and pharmacokinetic testing under the IND. In mid-1995,
the Company initiated three clinical efficacy trials testing the Neuprex(TM)
product as a treatment for the following indications: infectious complications
of severe blood loss due to trauma (hemorrhagic trauma), meningococcemia (a
potentially deadly bacterial infection principally of children) and
complications following partial hepatectomy (a type of major liver surgery). A
fourth trial, testing the product in combination with antibiotics to treat
severe intra-abdominal infections, started in the first quarter of 1996. In the
third quarter of 1997, XOMA initiated a Phase I/II clinical trial to test
Neuprex(TM) in cystic fibrosis patients whose genetic disorder predisposes them
to recurring bacterial lung infections. In August 1996, CBER granted XOMA a
Subpart E designation for Neuprex(TM) for the treatment of severe pediatric
meningococcemia following favorable results in an open label Phase I/II pilot
study. The Company subsequently began a Phase III pivotal trial for the
indication in October 1996 in the United States and Canada. Beginning in the
first quarter of 1997, XOMA added trial sites in the United Kingdom to increase
patient accrual. In June 1998, the Company announced that Neuprex(TM) had been
designated as an "orphan drug" under the Orphan Drug Act by the FDA for the
treatment of severe meningococcal disease. Based on data from its Phase II
hemorrhagic trauma studies, XOMA initiated in the fourth quarter of 1997 a Phase
III pivotal trial testing Neuprex(TM) to prevent serious pulmonary complications
in trauma patients. Review and analysis of results of the Phase II partial
hepatectomy study, concluded at the end of 1997, is in progress. No assurance
can be given that product approval for Neuprex(TM) or any other BPI product will
be obtained.
FDA licensure of XOMA's manufacturing facilities for Neuprex(TM) will be
required prior to any commercial use or sale of Neuprex(TM). No assurance can be
given that approval of the manufacturing facilities for Neuprex(TM) will be
obtained.
In March 1989, XOMA filed a product license application for approval of
E5(R), a monoclonal antibody product, for the treatment of gram-negative sepsis.
XOMA had completed several clinical trials of E5(R), including two randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Phase III studies involving nearly
1,300 patients. In June 1992, the FDA informed XOMA that E5(R) was not
approvable without further clinical testing. In June 1993, a third Phase III
clinical trial of the E5(R) product commenced with narrower entry criteria than
the previous trials. The trial was managed and co-funded by Pfizer Inc.
("Pfizer"). In April 1997, the Company announced that results of an interim
analysis completed on 1,000 patients in the third trial did not support
continuation of the trial, and in June 1997 the Company announced that Pfizer
had decided to end its marketing arrangement with XOMA for E5(R).
-5-
In September 1996, the Company and Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") announced
that the Company had filed an IND with the FDA for clinical testing of hu1124 in
patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. The hu1124 product, previously
referred to as anti-CD11a, is a humanized monoclonal antibody product XOMA is
developing in collaboration with Genentech for treatment of psoriasis. In the
second quarter of 1997, in response to findings about the activity of hu1124 in
psoriasis patients, XOMA started additional Phase I studies at lower doses. XOMA
announced a Phase II efficacy study in Canadian psoriasis patients in February
1998. In addition, other indications for this product are under review. No
assurance can be given that product approval for hu1124 in these or any other
indications will be obtained.
The FDA has substantial discretion in both the product approval process and
manufacturing facility approval process and it is not possible to predict at
what point, or whether, the FDA will be satisfied with the Company's submissions
or whether the FDA will raise questions which may be material and delay or
preclude product approval or manufacturing facility approval. As additional
clinical data are accumulated, they will be submitted to the FDA and may have a
material impact on the FDA product approval process.
Other potential XOMA products will require significant additional
development, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing. There can be
no assurance that any of the products under development by the Company will be
developed successfully, obtain the requisite regulatory approval or be
successfully manufactured or marketed.
Need for Additional Funds
XOMA has expended and expects to continue to expend substantial funds in
connection with research and development relating to its products and production
technologies, the scale-up of its production capabilities, extensive human
clinical trials and the protection of its intellectual property. The Company's
cash position and resulting investment income are sufficient to finance the
Company's currently anticipated needs for operating expenses, working capital,
equipment and current research projects for at least the next twelve months. The
Company continues to evaluate strategic alliances, potential partnerships and
financing arrangements which would further strengthen its competitive position
and provide additional funding. However, no assurance can be given that
operations will generate meaningful funds, that additional agreements for
product development funding or strategic alliances can be negotiated or that
adequate additional financing will be available for the Company to finance its
own development on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not
available, the business of the Company will be materially adversely affected.
History of Losses and Accumulated Deficit
XOMA has experienced significant losses and, as of June 30, 1998, had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $379.6 million.
For the year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30,
1998, XOMA had net losses of approximately $15.8 million, or $0.44 per share
(basic and diluted), and $24.5 million, or $0.61 per share (basic and diluted),
respectively. The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future. Its
ability to achieve a profitable level of operations is dependent in large part
on obtaining regulatory approval for its products and entering into agreements
for product development and commercialization. XOMA's ability to fund its
ongoing operations is dependent on the foregoing factors and on its ability to
secure additional funds. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever
achieve a profitable level of operations or that cash flow from future
operations will be sufficient to meet such obligations.
-6-
No Assurance of Effective Marketing
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has not entered into any
marketing agreements regarding its Neuprex(TM) product. Although the Company
continues to evaluate strategic alliances and potential partnerships, the
Company cannot predict whether or when any such alliances or partnerships will
be consummated.
Assuming timely regulatory approval, which cannot be assured, the
successful commercialization of XOMA's products may be dependent to a large
extent upon the marketing capabilities of its pharmaceutical partners.
No Assurance of Scale-up of Manufacturing Processes
The Company has never commercially introduced any pharmaceutical products.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company's manufacturing
facilities will receive regulatory approval in a timely manner. If one or more
of the Company's products and the relevant manufacturing facilities were to
receive regulatory approval, no assurance can be given that these existing
manufacturing capabilities would be able to produce sufficient quantities of
such products to meet market demand. Additionally, no assurance can be given
that if additional manufacturing facilities are needed to meet market demand,
such manufacturing facilities will be successfully obtained or that the
requisite regulatory approval for such facilities will be obtained.
No Assurance of Patent Protection/Avoidance of Patent Infringement
Because of the length of time and the expense associated with bringing new
products through development and government approval to the marketplace, the
pharmaceutical industry has traditionally placed considerable importance on
obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection for significant new
technologies, products and processes. The Company and other biotechnology firms
hold and are in the process of applying for a number of patents in the United
States and abroad to protect their products and important processes and also
have obtained or have the right to obtain exclusive licenses to certain patents
and applications filed by others. However, the patent position of biotechnology
companies generally is highly uncertain and no consistent policy regarding the
breadth of allowed claims has emerged from the actions of the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (the "Patent Office") with respect to biotechnology patents.
Legal considerations surrounding the validity of biotechnology patents continue
to be in transition, and no assurance can be given that historical legal
standards surrounding questions of validity will continue to be applied or that
current defenses as to issued biotechnology patents will in fact be considered
substantial in the future. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the
degree and range of protection any patents will afford against competitors with
similar technologies, that patents will issue, that others will not obtain
patents claiming aspects similar to those covered by the Company's patent
applications or as to the extent to which the Company will be successful in
avoiding any patents granted to others.
During the period from September 1994 to October 15, 1998, the Patent
Office issued 29 patents to the Company related to its BPI-based products,
including novel compositions, their manufacture, formulation, assay and use. The
Company has received Notices of Allowance for nine additional U.S. patents and
has more than twenty pending patent applications worldwide related to its
BPI-based products. In addition, the Company is the exclusive licensee of
BPI-related patents and applications owned by New York University. These include
four issued U.S. patents, one additional U.S. Notice of Allowance and one
granted European patent. Effective July 9, 1998, the Company is also the
exclusive licensee of BPI-related patents and applications owned by Incyte
Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Incyte"), including seven issued U.S. patents, one
granted European patent and pending applications worldwide.
-7-
During the period from July 1991 to October 15, 1998, the Patent Office
issued seven patents and one Notice of Allowance to the Company related to its
bacterial expression technology, including claims to novel promoter sequences,
secretion signal sequences, compositions and methods for expression and
secretion of recombinant proteins from bacteria, including immunoglobulin gene
products. Numerous foreign patents have been granted which, along with
additional pending foreign patent applications, correspond to the patents issued
and allowed in the U.S.
If certain patents issued to others are upheld or if certain patent
applications filed by others issue and are upheld, the Company may require
certain licenses from others in order to develop and commercialize certain
potential products incorporating the Company's technology. There can be no
assurance that such licenses, if required, will be available on acceptable
terms.
While the Company pursues patent protection, due to uncertainty as to the
future utility of patent protection for biotechnology products or processes, the
Company also relies upon trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological
advancement to develop and maintain its competitive position. All Company
employees have signed confidentiality agreements under which they have agreed
not to use or disclose any of the Company's proprietary information. Research
and development contracts and relationships between the Company and its
scientific consultants and potential customers provide access to aspects of the
Company's know-how that are protected generally under confidentiality agreements
with the parties involved. There can be no assurance that all confidentiality
agreements will be honored or are enforceable.
No Assurance of Product Efficacy or the Ability To Compete Successfully
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are subject to continuous
and substantial technological change. Competition in the areas of recombinant
DNA-based and monoclonal antibody-based technologies is intense and expected to
increase in the future as a number of established biotechnology firms and large
chemical and pharmaceutical companies diversify into the field. A number of
these large pharmaceutical and chemical companies have enhanced their
capabilities by entering into arrangements with, or acquiring, biotechnology
companies. Substantially all of these companies have significantly greater
financial resources, larger research and development and marketing staffs and
larger production facilities than those of the Company. Moreover, certain of
these companies have extensive experience in undertaking preclinical testing and
human clinical trials. These factors may enable such companies to develop
products and processes competitive with or superior to those of the Company. In
addition, a significant amount of research in biotechnology is being carried out
in universities and other non-profit research organizations. These entities are
becoming increasingly aware of the commercial value of their work and may become
more aggressive in seeking patent protection and licensing arrangements. There
can be no assurance that developments by others will not render the Company's
products or technologies obsolete or uncompetitive.
It is possible that another company is developing one or more products
based on BPI, and there can be no assurance that such product(s) will not prove
to be more effective than Neuprex(TM).
Uncertainties in Attracting and Retaining Qualified Personnel
The Company's success in developing marketable products and achieving a
competitive position will depend, in part, on its ability to attract and retain
qualified scientific and management personnel. Competition for such personnel is
intense, and no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to attract
or retain such personnel. The loss of a significant group of key personnel would
adversely affect the Company's product development efforts.
-8-
Risk of Product Liability Claims
The testing and marketing of medical products entails an inherent risk of
allegations of product liability. The Company believes it currently has adequate
levels of insurance for its clinical trials. The Company will seek to obtain
additional insurance, if needed, if and when the Company's products are
commercialized; however, there can be no assurance that adequate insurance
coverage will be available or be available at acceptable costs or that a product
liability claim would not materially adversely affect the business or financial
condition of the Company.
Certain Provisions Relating to Changes in Control
The Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated as of October 27, 1993 (the "Rights
Agreement"), between the Company and First Interstate Bank of California, as
Rights Agent, and the Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "By-Laws")
contain provisions that may have the effect of making more difficult an
acquisition of control of the Company that has not been approved by the
Company's Board of Directors. See "Description of Equity Securities -- Certain
Provisions Relating to Changes in Control of the Company."
Volatility of Stock Price
The market prices for securities of biotechnology companies, including
XOMA, have been highly volatile. See "Price Range of Common Stock and Dividend
Information." Announcements regarding the results of regulatory approval
filings, clinical trials or other testing, technological innovations or new
commercial products by XOMA or its competitors, government regulations,
developments concerning proprietary rights or public concern as to safety of
biotechnology have historically had, and are expected to continue to have, a
significant impact on the market price of XOMA's Common Stock.
-9-
THE COMPANY
The Company is a biopharmaceutical company developing products to treat
infections, infectious complications of traumatic injury and surgery, and
immunologic and inflammatory disorders. The Company's current product
development programs include:
- Neuprex(TM) (rBPI21), a modified recombinantly-derived fragment of BPI
and XOMA's lead BPI-derived product, which is currently in Phase III
efficacy clinical trials in two indications and in earlier-stage
clinical trials in three additional indications.
- I-PREX(TM), a proprietary topical formulation of rBPI21 for the
treatment of ophthalmic disorders, which is undergoing preclinical
testing as a treatment for corneal injuries, including ulcerations and
transplants.
- Mycoprex(TM), a fungicidal peptide compound derived from BPI that is
currently in preclinical product development.
- hu1124 (anti-CDlla), a humanized monoclonal antibody product being
developed in collaboration with Genentech, which originally discovered
the antibody and characterized it as anti-CD11a. The hull24 product is
in Phase II clinical trials for psoriasis. Other indications are under
review.
The Company's cash position and resulting investment income are sufficient
to finance the Company's currently anticipated needs for operating expenses,
working capital, equipment and current research projects for at least the next
twelve months. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alliances, potential
partnerships, and financing arrangements which would further strengthen its
competitive position and provide additional funding. The Company cannot predict
whether or when any such alliances, partnerships or arrangements will be
consummated or whether additional funding will be available when required.
The Company is currently performing an internal review of its computer
systems and has engaged a consultant to assist in its review of its other
automated equipment in order to evaluate necessary modifications for the Year
2000, and the outcome of these reviews is uncertain. Although the Company does
not currently anticipate that it will incur material expenditures to complete
any necessary modifications, there can be no assurance in this regard, nor can
there be any assurance that the Company will not experience any material adverse
impact from a failure to timely identify Year 2000 issues in its systems or
equipment or from a failure by one or more third parties, such as suppliers of
raw materials for manufacturing or clinical research organizations, to similarly
identify and address such problems.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 70,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, $.0005 par value, of which 46,439,316 shares were outstanding
as of October 31, 1998, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.05 par value,
of which 650,000 have been designated Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock"), of which none were outstanding on such date, 7,500
have been designated Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E (the "Series E
Preferred Stock"), of which none were outstanding on such date, and 1,250 have
been designated Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H (the "Series H Preferred
Stock"), 760 of which were outstanding on such date.
Common Stock
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted on by stockholders. The holders of Common Stock are entitled
to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the
Company's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon
liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of the Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets, subject to the rights
of the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred
stock or debt that may then be outstanding. There are no redemption or sinking
fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
On October 27, 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend distribution of one Preferred Stock Purchase Right (a "Right") for each
outstanding share of Common Stock. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase
from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a "Unit") of
Series A Preferred Stock at a cash exercise price of $30.00 per Unit, subject to
adjustment.
The Rights are attached to all outstanding shares of Common Stock,
including the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. The Rights will separate
from the Common Stock and will be distributed to holders of Common Stock upon
the earliest of (i) ten business days after the first public announcement that a
person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has
acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Common Stock then
outstanding (the date of said announcement being referred to as the "Stock
Acquisition Date"), (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a
tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group of persons
becoming an Acquiring Person or (iii) the declaration by the Board of Directors
of the Company that any person is an "Adverse Person" (the earliest of such
dates, the "Distribution Date").
The Board of Directors of the Company may generally declare a person to be
an Adverse Person after a declaration that such person has become the beneficial
owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and a
determination that (a) such beneficial ownership by such person is intended to
cause or is reasonably likely to cause the Company to repurchase the Common
Stock owned by such Person or to cause the Company to enter into other
transactions not in the best long-term interests of the Company or (b) such
beneficial ownership is reasonably likely to cause a material adverse impact on
the business or prospects of the Company. The Rights are not exercisable until
the Distribution Date and will expire on December 31, 2002, unless previously
redeemed or exchanged by the Company.
In the event that a person becomes an Acquiring Person or the Board of
Directors determines that a person is an Adverse Person, each holder of a Right
will thereafter have the right (a "Subscription Right") to receive upon exercise
that number of Units of Series A Preferred Stock having a market value of two
times the exercise price of the Rights. In the event that, at any time following
the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Com-
-15-
pany consolidates with, or merges with and into, any person, and the Company is
not the surviving corporation; (ii) any person consolidates with the Company, or
merges with and into the Company and the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation of such merger and, in connection with such merger, all or part of
the shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for other securities of
any other person or cash or any other property, or (iii) 50% or more of the
Company's assets are sold or otherwise transferred, each holder of a Right shall
thereafter have the right (a "Merger Right") to receive, upon exercise, common
stock of the acquiring company having a market value equal to two times the
exercise price of the Rights. Rights that are beneficially owned by an Acquiring
or Adverse Person may, under certain circumstances, become null and void.
At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person or the Board of
Directors of the Company determines that a person is an Adverse Person, the
Board of Directors of the Company may exchange all or any part of the then
outstanding and exercisable Rights for shares of Common Stock or Units of Series
A Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock or one Unit
of Series A Preferred Stock per Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board
of Directors of the Company generally will not be empowered to effect such
exchange at any time after any person becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or
more of the Common Stock then outstanding.
The Rights may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.001
per Right by the Board of Directors of the Company at any time prior to the date
on which a person is declared to be an Adverse Person, the tenth business day
after the Stock Acquisition Date, the occurrence of an event giving rise to the
Merger Right or the expiration date of the Rights Agreement.
The Series A Preferred Stock
There are currently no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation relating to the Series A Preferred
Stock, subject to the rights of holders of any shares of any series of preferred
stock ranking prior and superior (such as the Series H Preferred Stock), the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally available
for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March,
June, September and December in each year (a "Dividend Payment Date"),
commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a
share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share
equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) 100 times the aggregate per share
amount of all cash dividends, plus 100 times the aggregate per share amount of
all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in
shares of Common Stock, declared on the Common Stock since the immediately
preceding Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Dividend Payment
Date, since the first issuance of Series A Preferred Stock.
In addition to any other voting rights required by law, holders of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on all matters submitted to a vote
of stockholders of the Company with each share of Series A Preferred Stock
entitled to 100 votes. Except as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A
Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company.
Unless otherwise provided in a Certificate of Designation relating to a
subsequently designated series of preferred stock of the Company, the Series A
Preferred Stock shall rank junior to any other series of preferred stock as to
the payment of dividends and distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up and shall rank senior to the Common Stock. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Company, no distributions shall be made to
holders of shares of stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have
received an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions,
whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, plus an amount equal
-16-
to the greater of (1) $100.00 per share or (2) an aggregate amount per share
equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders
of Common Stock or to the holders of stock ranking on parity with the Series A
Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred
Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amount to which
the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up.
If the Company shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or
other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed
into cash, other securities and/or any other property, then any shares of Series
A Preferred Stock outstanding shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
changed in an amount per share equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of cash,
securities and/or other property, as the case may be, into which or for which
each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.
The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.
The Series B Preferred Stock
The 18,775 shares of Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, issued
by the Company in a private placement consummated in December 1993 in reliance
upon the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, have been
converted into an aggregate of 3,751,454 shares of Common Stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock
The 4,799 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C, issued by the
Company in an offering made to foreign investors in reliance on Regulation S
under the Securities Act in August 1995, have been converted into an aggregate
of 2,728,190 shares of Common Stock.
The Series D Preferred Stock
The 5,000 shares of Non-Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series D, issued by the Company in an offering exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D thereunder in March
1996, have been converted into an aggregate of 1,048,610 shares of Common Stock.
The Series E Preferred Stock
There are currently no shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding. The
7,500 shares of Series E Preferred Stock have been designated by the Company for
issuance upon conversion of the convertible subordinated loans to the Company
made and to be made by Genentech in connection with the funding of the Company's
development costs for hull24. Such loans are and will be convertible into Series
E Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain events relating to certain
regulatory approvals, payment defaults, prepayments and other circumstances.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation relating to the Series E Preferred
Stock, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock will not be entitled to
receive any dividends on shares of the Series E Preferred Stock.
The Series E Preferred Stock will rank senior with respect to rights on
liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company to all classes of Common
Stock. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company, holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive
$10,000 per share of Series E Preferred Stock before any distribution is made on
the Common Stock. The holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock will have no
voting rights, except as required under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware.
-17-
The holders of Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to convert
shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at a conversion
price equal to the current market price of the Common Stock (determined as
provided below). The current market price will be determined (a) for shares of
Series E Preferred Stock issued in connection with a conversion of one or more
of the convertible subordinated loans upon certain regulatory approvals, payment
defaults or in certain other circumstances, as of the first date on which such a
conversion occurs, and (b) for shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued in
connection with certain prepayments of one or more of the convertible
subordinated loans or a conversion thereof in certain other circumstances, as of
the date of the issuance of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
The Series E Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into Common
Stock at its then effective conversion rate immediately upon the transfer by the
initial holder to any third party which is not an affiliate of such holder.
The Company will have the right, at any time and from time to time, to
redeem any or all shares of Series E Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal
to the conversion price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each such share of Series E Preferred Stock would then be convertible.
The Series F Preferred Stock
The 1,600 shares of Non-Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series F (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), issued by the Company in an offering
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation D thereunder in September 1996, have been converted into an aggregate
of 5,269,870 shares of Common Stock.
The Series G Preferred Stock
The 1,250 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G (the "Series G
Preferred Stock"), issued by the Company to the Selling Stockholders in August
1997 in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act (the "Series G Private Placement") have been converted into an
aggregate of 4,019,581 shares of Common Stock.
The Series H Preferred Stock
The 1,250 outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock were issued by the
Company to the Selling Stockholders in June 1998 in a transaction exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act (the "Series H Private
Placement"). As of October 31, 1998, shares of Series H Preferred Stock had been
converted into an aggregate of 2,317,293 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the
Certificate of Designation relating to the Series H Preferred Stock, the holders
thereof are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors
of the Company out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at
a rate per share (as a percentage of the stated value per share) equal to 5% per
annum. Dividends are payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or Common
Stock (subject to certain restrictions thereon). In addition, the Company may
elect not to declare or make payment of any dividend, in which event the accrued
and unpaid dividends shall be calculated and paid at the time of conversion, as
described below.
The Series H Preferred Stock ranks senior with respect to rights on
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company to the Common Stock. Upon
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company, holders of Series H Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive $10,000
per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, before any distribution or payment
is made on the Common Stock or any preferred stock of the Company ranking junior
as to liquidation rights to the Series H Preferred Stock. Except as may be
required by law and except with respect to certain actions which may adversely
affect the holders of
-18-
Series H Preferred Stock, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock are not
entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the
Company.
The holders of Series H Preferred Stock have the right to convert shares of
Series H Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to (a) a
percentage of the 5-day trailing average market price of the Common Stock at the
time of conversion, beginning at 100% immediately following the closing of the
Series H Private Placement and declining by 2% per month until such percentage
equals 88%, or (b) during the first six months following such closing, the
lesser of the percentage described in the foregoing clause (a) and 140% of the
5-day trailing average market price of the Common Stock as of the date of such
closing; provided that the Selling Stockholders have agreed that in no event
shall any such holder be entitled to (i) convert any shares of Series H
Preferred Stock during the 60 days immediately following the closing of the
Series H Private Placement at a price below 120% of the 5-day trailing average
market price of the Common Stock as of the date of such closing, and (ii)
convert any shares of Series H Preferred Stock (or exercise any Series H
Warrants) to the extent the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon a proposed
conversion (or exercise) would result in such Selling Stockholder beneficially
owning more than 4.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, absent
certain defaults by the Company; and provided, further, that in the event that
on any conversion date the conversion of all the outstanding shares of Series H
Preferred Stock upon surrender thereof, together with all shares of Common Stock
previously issued upon conversion of Series G Preferred Stock and Series H
Preferred Stock and in respect of payment of dividends thereon, would require
the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 20% of the
number of such shares outstanding on June 26, 1998 (the closing date of the
Series H Private Placement), the Company shall, at its option, either redeem all
of such holder's shares of the Series H Preferred Stock not convertible by
reason of the limitation described in this proviso at a redemption price per
share based on the five day trailing average market price at the time of
conversion or at the time of redemption, whichever is greater, or, after
obtaining stockholder approval, convert such Series H Preferred Stock into
shares of Common Stock; provided, that, if the Company elects to seek
stockholder approval, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Series H Preferred Stock may request, in lieu of such approval, that the Company
redeem the Series H Preferred Stock as set forth above. In addition, subject to
the limitation described in the second proviso of the preceding sentence, the
Company has the right, so long as it is in compliance with its obligations to
the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock and the Registration Statement is
then effective, exercisable at any time on or after the third anniversary of the
closing of the Series H Private Placement, to require the holders thereof to
convert all or a portion of their shares of Series H Preferred Stock into Common
Stock at the then applicable conversion price.
The Selling Stockholders are entitled to redeem their shares of Series H
Preferred Stock at the redemption price described in the preceding paragraph if
the Common Stock is no longer listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market
or any other principal market or exchange for such shares (other than as a
result of the suspension of trading in securities generally or temporarily
pending release of material information) for five trading days in the aggregate.
The Series F Warrants
The Company issued 109,739 warrants (the "Series F Warrants") to purchase
shares of Common Stock in connection with the offering of the Series F Preferred
Stock in September 1996 in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D thereunder. Each
Series F Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common
Stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Series F Warrants are
exercisable from and after September 24, 1996, with one-half thereof having
expired on March 24, 1998 and the remainder expiring on September 24, 1999, at
an exercise price of $7.29 per share.
The Series F Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act and
may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exception from
-19-
registration thereunder. Additionally, the Series F Warrants contain certain
restrictions on their transfer. The Company is not obligated and does not intend
to register the Series F Warrants under the Securities Act.
The Series G Warrants
The Company issued 485,879 warrants (the "Series G Warrants") to purchase

Certain Provisions Relating to Changes in Control of the Company
Certain provisions of the By-Laws and the Rights (summarized above) may
delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company that a stockholder
might consider to be in his or her best interest, including those applicable to
a change in control of the Company that might result in a premium over the
market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders.
Special Meeting of Stockholders. The By-Laws provide that meetings of
stockholders of the Company may be called only by the Chief Executive Officer or
the Board of Directors of the Company. This provision may make it more difficult
for stockholders to take action opposed by management or the Board of Directors
of the Company.
-20-
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director
Nominations. The By-Laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business
before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election
as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice
thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be received by the
Secretary of the Company not less than sixty nor more than ninety days prior to
the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, or in the case of
an annual meeting that is called for a date that is more than thirty days or
delayed by more than sixty days from such anniversary, notice by the stockholder
to be timely must be so received not earlier than the ninetieth day prior to
such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (1)
the sixtieth day prior to such annual meeting or (2) the tenth day following the
day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or
publicly disclosed. These provisions may preclude some stockholders from
bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or making nominations
for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights. The provisions of the Rights and the
Series A Preferred Stock may make it more difficult or more costly for a person
or group of persons to acquire control of the Company in a transaction opposed
by the Board of Directors of the Company. See "-- Preferred Stock Purchase
Rights" and "-- The Series A Preferred Stock."
Transfer Agent and Registrar
ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. is the transfer agent and
registrar of the Common Stock.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any or all of the Common Stock being registered hereby may be sold from
time to time to purchasers directly by any Selling Stockholder. Alternatively,
any Selling Stockholder may from time to time offer the Common Stock through
underwriters, dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from such Selling Stockholder
and/or the purchasers of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent. Any such
Selling Stockholder, and any such underwriters, dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of Common Stock, may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any profit on the sale of the Common Stock by them and any
discounts, commissions or concessions received by them may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any such shares
of Common Stock may be so offered or sold in the open market, on the Nasdaq
National Market, in privately negotiated transactions, in an underwrittten
offering, or a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. To the extent required, the names of the Selling
Stockholders, the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold, purchase price,
public offering price, the name of any agent, dealer or underwriter and any
applicable commission or discount or other items constituting compensation or
indemnification arrangements with respect to a particular offering will be set
forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. The Company will receive no
proceeds from the sale by any Selling Stockholder of the Common Stock offered
hereby.
In connection with distributions of the Common Stock, any Selling
Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the
broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of
hedging the positions they assume with such Selling Stockholder. Any Selling
Stockholder also may sell the Common Stock short and deliver the Common Stock to
close out such short positions. Any Selling Stockholder also may enter into
option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of
the Common Stock to the broker-dealers, which may then resell or otherwise
transfer such Common Stock. Any Selling Stockholder also may loan or pledge the
Common Stock to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the Common Stock
so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged Common
Stock.

of Shipley Raidy and Mr. Arnouse, shares of Common Stock underlying the Series G

necessary, to this Prospectus in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement, up to

rendered as placement agents in connection with the Series G Private Placement
and the Series H Private Placement, respectively.

including fees and expenses of counsel to the Company and the Selling
Stockholders (limited, in the case of counsel to the Selling Stockholders, to

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides for indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents, subject to certain limitations (Del.
Code, Title 8 Sec. 145). Article VII of the Company's Bylaws provides that
expenses incurred by an officer or director of the Company in defending a civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance
of a final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the
Company of an undertaking by the officer or director that he or she will repay
such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
indemnification under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions eliminating a
director's personal liability for monetary damages to the Company and its
stockholders arising from a breach of a director's fiduciary duty except for
liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or liability
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or for any transaction by
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company has also
entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers
providing for indemnification and advancements of expenses to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
II-3
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in the post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
