Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement

Flagship 2007 Fund, Flagship IV Fund, and Flagship IV-Rx Fund are parties to an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2013, by and among the Issuer and certain of its stockholders (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Upon the closing of the Issuer’s IPO, holders of a total of 8,729,843 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding or issuable upon exercise of certain warrants held by Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Warrants”) as of January 21, 2014, after giving effect to the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of the Issuer’s preferred stock into an aggregate of 8,260,444 shares of Common Stock upon the closing of the IPO, the issuance of 333,799 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants held by some of the Issuer’s preferred stockholders, at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which otherwise expired upon the closing of the IPO and the conversion of the SVB Warrants into warrants to purchase common stock as a result of the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of the Issuer’s preferred stock upon the closing of the IPO, have the right to require the Issuer to register such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) under specified circumstances. After registration pursuant to these rights, the shares will become freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. If not otherwise exercised, the rights under the Investor Rights Agreement will expire five years after the closing of the IPO.


CUSIP No. 286221106    13D    Page 15 of 19 Pages

 

Demand and Form S-3 Registration Rights

Beginning six months after the commencement of the IPO, subject to specified limitations set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, at any time, the holders of at least 25% of the then outstanding shares having rights under the Investor Rights Agreement, which are referred to as registrable securities, may demand that the Issuer register at least 25% of the registrable securities then outstanding under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering having an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $5,000,000. The Issuer is not obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to this provision on more than two occasions.

In addition, subject to specified limitations set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, at any time after the Issuer becomes eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, holders of at least 10% of the registrable securities then outstanding may request that the Issuer register their registrable securities on Form S-3 for purposes of a public offering for which the reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price to the public would exceed $1,000,000. The Issuer is not obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to this provision on more than two occasions in any 12-month period.

Incidental Registration Rights

If, at any time after the closing of the IPO, the Issuer proposes to register for its own account any of its securities under the Securities Act, the holders of registrable securities will be entitled to notice of the registration and, subject to specified exceptions, have the right to require the Issuer to use its best efforts to register all or a portion of the registrable securities then held by them in that registration. Under the SVB Warrants, Silicon Valley Bank is also entitled to notice of the registration at the time that the Issuer provides notice of the registration to the holders of registrable securities.

In the event that any registration in which the holders of registrable securities participate pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or Silicon Valley Bank participates pursuant to the SVB Warrants is an underwritten public offering, the Issuer has agreed to enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary representations and warranties and covenants, including without limitation customary provisions with respect to indemnification of the underwriters of such offering.

In the event that any registration in which the holders of registrable securities participate pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or Silicon Valley Bank participates pursuant to the SVB Warrants is an underwritten public offering, the Issuer will use its best efforts to include the requested securities to be included, but such inclusions may be limited by market conditions to the extent set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.

Expenses

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Issuer is required to pay all registration expenses, including the fees and expenses of one counsel to represent the selling stockholders, other than any underwriting discounts, selling commissions and fees and expenses of a selling stockholder’s own counsel related to any demand, Form S-3 or incidental registration. The Issuer is not required to pay registration expenses if the registration request under the Investor Rights Agreement is withdrawn at the request of holders initiating such registration request, unless the withdrawal is due to discovery of a materially adverse change in the Issuer’s business after the initiation of such registration request.

The Investor Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer or any violation or alleged violation whether by action or inaction by the Issuer under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any state securities or Blue Sky law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities or Blue Sky law in connection with such registration statement or the qualification or compliance of the offering, and they are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to them.
