Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the General

 

II-1


Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware would permit indemnification.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following is a summary of all securities that we have sold from February 28, 2015 through February 28, 2018, without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We entered into a joinder agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., as agent (“Hercules”), whereby we joined and become a co-borrower under the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”), dated June 11, 2015, pursuant to which a term loan of $7.0 million was funded on June 16, 2015 (the “Term Loan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan, we may elect to pay, in whole or in part, any regularly scheduled installment of principal, up to an aggregate maximum amount of $1.0 million, by converting a portion of the principal of the term loan into shares of our common stock in lieu of payment thereof in cash at a fixed conversion price, provided certain conditions were met. In addition, the lenders to the Credit Facility may elect to receive payment of any regularly scheduled installment of principal, up to an aggregate maximum amount of $1.0 million, in shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price.

On June 16, 2015, in connection with the Credit Facility, we issued to Hercules a warrant to purchase up to 25,150 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.35 per share, which may be exercised either for cash or on a cashless “net exercise” basis. The warrant will expire on June 16, 2020.

The issuances of the Term Loan and the warrant to Hercules were exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, 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.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(6) 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 are 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.

 

II-5


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from a form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re: Pulmatrix, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-223630

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Pulmatrix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-223630 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 13, 2018, as thereafter amended or supplemented. The Registration Statement relates to the registration of the proposed offer and sale, of a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $20,000,000, of (i) common units (“Common Units”), with each Common Unit being comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock” and each such share of Common Stock, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) and one common warrant (collectively, the “Common Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (the shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, the “Common Warrant Shares”) and (ii) pre-funded units (“Pre-Funded Units” and, together with the Common Units, the “Units”), with each Pre-Funded Unit being comprised of one pre-funded warrant (collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Common Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (the shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares” and, together with the Common Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) and one Common Warrant. The Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

In rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have examined the originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws of the Company, (ii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company related to the filing of the Registration Statement, the authorization and issuance of the Securities and related matters, (iii) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto, (iv) the form of Underwriting Agreement to be entered into with Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (the “Underwriting Agreement”), (v) a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof, (vi) the forms of the Warrants, and (vii) such other records, documents and instruments as we deemed relevant and necessary for purposes of the opinion stated herein.

In making the foregoing examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as photostatic or certified copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion, where such facts have not been independently established, we have relied, to the extent we have deemed reasonably appropriate, upon representations or certificates of officers of the Company or governmental officials.

We have not considered, and express no opinion herein as to, the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as currently in effect (the “DGCL”).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1. When the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto and the Units and the Warrants have been issued and delivered in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement against payment in full of the consideration payable therefor as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof and as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Units and the Warrants will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.


  2. When the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto and the Shares have been issued and delivered in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement against payment in full of the consideration payable therefor as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof and as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

  3. When the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto, the Warrants have been duly executed by the Company and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement against payment in full of the consideration payable therefor as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof and as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Warrant Shares will have been duly authorized, and if, as and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinions expressed herein as to the validity and legally binding obligation of the Units and the Warrants are subject to and qualified and limited (i) by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, (ii) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (iii) by general principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We further consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we are not admitting that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinion after the date hereof to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or any changes that may thereafter occur.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Haynes and Boone, LLP
