On March 6, 2024, REGENXBIO Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the offer and sale of 4,565,260 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $23.00 per share, and 1,521,740 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares” and, together with the Shares (as defined below) and the Pre-funded Warrants, the “Securities”) at a price of $22.9999 per Pre-funded Warrant, which represents the public offering price per share less the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each Pre-funded Warrant. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 913,050 shares of Common Stock (the “Optional Shares” and, together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”). The net proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $131.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, or $150.9 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase the Optional Shares. The offering is expected to close on March 11, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Pre-funded Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, which is subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The Pre-funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and do not expire. The Pre-funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company a duly executed exercise notice and by payment in full of the exercise price in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. Except by virtue of a holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holder of a Pre-funded Warrant does not have any rights or privileges of a holder of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises the Pre-funded Warrant and receives the underlying Common Stock.
The offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 269086), which was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The Underwriting Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company.
Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees.
The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The form of Pre-funded Warrant is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and Pre-funded Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement and form of Pre-funded Warrant, respectively. The legal opinion of Covington & Burling LLP relating to the Securities being offered is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
