Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Overview

 

On October 10, 2019, OncoSec Medical Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that it entered into a strategic transaction (the “Transaction”) with Grand Decade Developments Limited, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited, a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“CGP”), and its affiliate, Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sirtex”). Pursuant to stock purchase agreements (as more fully described below) entered into between the parties pursuant to the Transaction, the Company will receive a $30 million equity investment from CGP and its affiliate Sirtex at $2.50 per share, which is approximately a 25% premium to the average share price over the last 20 trading days as of October 9, 2019. Upon closing of the Transaction, CGP and Sirtex together will hold approximately 53% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and will be entitled to three of nine seats on the Company’s Board of Directors. The closing of the stock purchase is subject to stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions (the “Closing”).

 

Whether or not Closing occurs, but subject to certain conditions on effectiveness described below, the Company (1) will grant CGP and its affiliates an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, commercialize, or otherwise exploit current and future products, including TAVO™ and the Company’s new Visceral Lesion Applicator (“VLA”), in Greater China and 35 other Asian countries (the “Territory”) for which CGP will pay the Company up to 20% royalties on the net sales of such products in the Territory and (2) will engage Sirtex to support and assist the Company with pre-marketing activities for TAVO and VLA in exchange for low single-digit royalties on TAVO and VLA net sales outside the Territory.

 

Purchase Agreements

 

On October 10, 2019, the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with each of CGP and Sirtex pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to CGP and Sirtex 10,000,000 shares and 2,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share, which is approximately a 25% premium to the average share price over the last 20 trading days as of October 9, 2019. The Purchase Agreements may be terminated if the Closing does not occur on or before March 31, 2020, or earlier as described further in the Purchase Agreements.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, beginning on the date of the Closing and ending on the first anniversary thereof (the “Option Period”), the Company granted to CGP an option to make an offer to acquire the remaining outstanding common stock of the Company at a purchase price per share equal to the greater of (a) $4.50 or (b) 110% of the last closing stock price for the common stock on the date prior to CGP delivering written notice to the Company of its intent to exercise such option along with a proposal on all other material terms. The Purchase Agreements contain customary representations and warranties as well as certain operating covenants applicable to the Company until the Closing. Additionally, the shares are subject to a lock-up provision restricting the sale or disposition of the shares for a period of six-months following the Closing and a standstill provision prohibiting certain actions by CGP and Sirtex during the Option Period. In addition, upon the Closing, the Stockholders Agreements and Registration Rights Agreements between the Company and each of CGP and Sirtex will become effective (all described further below).

 

The description of the Purchase Agreements is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreements, copies of which are being filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

 
 

 

License Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreements, the Company and CGP entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”), which will become effective upon the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of the applicable Purchase Agreement by the Company (other than due to CGP’s material breach). Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company, among other things, granted CGP and its affiliates an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing license to develop, manufacture, commercialize, or otherwise exploit the Company’s current and future products, including TAVO™ and the Company’s new Visceral Lesion Applicator (“VLA”), in the following territories: China Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, East Timor, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Vietnam (the “Territory”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, CGP will pay the Company up to 20% royalties on the net sales (as defined in the License Agreement) of such products in the Territory during the applicable Royalty Term (as defined in the License Agreement).

 

The description of the License Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the License Agreement, a partially redacted copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Services Agreement

 

In addition, the Company and Sirtex entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) which will become effective upon the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of the applicable Purchase Agreement by the Company (other than due to Sirtex’s material breach). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to pay Sirtex low single-digit royalties on the Net Sales (as defined in the Services Agreement) of all Products (defined as TAVO and VLA products and their accompanying generators, and any products (including, for clarity, combination products) incorporating or including such products and their accompanying generators), in all countries other than those in the Territory. In exchange for the royalty fee, Sirtex will provide the Company with certain services for these products, including key opinion leader management and engagement services, voice of customer (VOC) services, development of a go to market strategy, and pricing, reimbursement and market access services.

 

The description of the Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Services Agreement, a partially redacted copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Stockholder Agreements

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreements, the Company, CGP, and Sirtex entered into Stockholders Agreements (the “Stockholders Agreements”), to be effective upon the Closing, pursuant to which, among other things, CGP and Sirtex will have the option to nominate a combined total of three (3) members to the Board of Directors, initially at the Closing, and thereafter at every annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company in which directors are generally elected, including at every adjournment or postponement thereof. CGP will also have the option to nominate two (2) independent directors to the Company’s Board of Directors if any independent director currently serving on the Board of Directors ceases to serve as a director of the Company for any reason, provided that the independent director nominee shall be satisfactory to a majority of the independent directors of the Company. If either CGP or Sirtex beneficially owns less than 40% of the shares acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, either (as applicable) shall have the right to nominate members to the Board of Directors in proportion with their ownership of the issued and outstanding common stock.

 

In addition, CGP and Sirtex will have certain rights of participation in future financings as well as a right of first refusal related to future potential transactions. The Stockholders Agreements implement a 70% supermajority approval by the Board of Directors for certain actions, as well as stockholder consent rights for CGP, all of which are conditioned upon CGP and Sirtex maintaining certain ownership thresholds.

 

The description of the Stockholders Agreements is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Form of Stockholders Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

 
 

 

Registration Rights Agreements

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreements, the Company, CGP, and Sirtex agreed to enter, upon closing, Registration Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, CGP and Sirtex will each have the right to deliver to the Company a written notice requiring the Company to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement with respect to resales of shares of some or all the common stock of the Company held by CGP and Sirtex.
