Item 1.02.

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed by Quotient Limited (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 31, 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, dated May 31, 2019 (the “Sale Agreement”), between the Company and Jefferies LLC, as sales agent and/or principal (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company could issue and sell from time to time in an “at-the-market” public offering (“ATM Offering”) ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $80 million.

Further, as previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 6, 2019, in connection with the commencement of an underwritten public offering of its ordinary shares (the “Underwritten Offering”), the Company suspended offers and sales under the ATM Offering and announced it would determine whether to terminate the ATM Offering or recommence the ATM Offering following the completion of the Underwritten Offering. The Underwritten Offering closed on November 12, 2019, as disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 12, 2019. Jefferies LLC was one of the representatives of the several underwriters in the Underwritten Offering.

Following the closing of the Underwritten Offering, on November 12, 2019, the Company provided to the Agent a notice of termination, pursuant to which the Company terminated the Sale Agreement effective as of November 13, 2019. The Company has not sold any ordinary shares pursuant to the Sale Agreement, and the Company is not subject to any termination penalties related to the termination of the Sale Agreement.
