Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In March 2024, the Company terminated a previously filed registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Demand Registration Statement”) as the Company was no longer eligible to register securities on Form S-3. On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into a Waiver of Registration Rights (the “Waiver Agreement”) with Baker Brothers Life Sciences L.P. and 667, L.P. (the Baker Funds) to obtain a waiver of the registration rights relating to all of these securities previously registered for resale by the Demand Registration Statement for a period of thirty (30) days.

 

On April 29, 2024, the Baker Funds agreed to extend the Waiver Agreement through May 27, 2024 (“Amendment to the Waiver Agreement”).

 

On May 30, 2024, the Baker Funds agreed to further extend the Waiver Agreement through June 26, 2024 (“Amendment No. 2 to the Waiver Agreement”), effective as of May 27, 2024.

 

On June 24, 2024, the Baker Funds agreed to further extend the Waiver Agreement through September 25, 2024 (“Amendment No. 3 to the Waiver Agreement”), effective as of June 24, 2024.

 

The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 3 to the Waiver Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by Amendment No. 3 to the Waiver Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
