Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 3, 2024, iBio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (the “Sales Agents”) providing for the sale by the Company of its shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time, through the Sales Agents, with certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by the Company as set forth in the ATM Agreement (the “Offering”).
Offers and sales of shares of Common Stock by the Company, if any, under the ATM Agreement, is subject to the effectiveness of the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280680), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 3, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company makes no assurances as to if or whether the Registration Statement will become effective or, if it does become effective, as to the continued effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The aggregate market value of the shares of Common Stock eligible for sale under the ATM prospectus supplement included in the Registration Statement is currently $7,350,000, which is based on the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3.
Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, the Company will set the parameters for the sale of shares of Common Stock, including the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, the Sales Agents may sell the shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE American (“NYSE American”) or on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock. In addition, with the Company’s prior written approval, the Sales Agents may also sell shares by any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions.
Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, the Sales Agents will use their commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with their respective normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations, and the rules of the NYSE American, to sell shares of Common Stock from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the ATM Agreement. The Sales Agents are not obligated to purchase any shares of Common Stock on a principal basis pursuant to the ATM Agreement.
The ATM Agreement provides that the Company will pay the Sales Agents commissions for its services in acting as agent in the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. The Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. The Company has agreed to provide the Sales Agents and certain of their affiliates of the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights, including for liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the ATM Agreement, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Sales Agents up to $75,000 plus (i) an additional $5,000 per quarter so long as the ATM Agreement remains in effect and the Sales Agents perform standard quarterly due diligence with the Company, excluding any period during which a Suspension (as defined in the ATM Agreement) is in place pursuant to Section 4 of the ATM Agreement, and (ii) $25,000 in connection with any filing of an additional prospectus supplement which constitutes a Prospectus Supplement (as defined in the ATM Agreement). The ATM Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the placements of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, obligations to sell shares under the ATM Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and other customary closing conditions.
The Offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of Common Stock subject to the ATM Agreement, or (ii) termination of the ATM Agreement as permitted therein.
