On June 25, 2019, Nabriva Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as agent (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, for aggregate gross sale proceeds of up to $50,000,000 (the “Shares”) from time to time through Jefferies (the “Offering”). The Company is also filing a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offering (the “Prospectus Supplement”) under the Company’s shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-219567), which became effective on August 10, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”).

Upon delivery of an issuance notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sale Agreement, Jefferies may sell the Shares by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), the existing trading market for the ordinary shares.

The Company or Jefferies may suspend or terminate the offering of Shares upon notice to the other party, subject to certain conditions. Jefferies will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq.

The Company has agreed to pay Jefferies commissions for its services of acting as agent of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sale Agreement. The Company has also agreed to provide Jefferies with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

A copy of the Sale Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

The Shares will be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, and offerings of the Shares will be made only by means of the Prospectus Supplement.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Termination of Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.

On March 16, 2018, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Cantor Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as agent (“Cantor Fitzgerald”), pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, for aggregate gross sale proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time through Cantor Fitzgerald (the “Cantor ATM Offering”). The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2018 in connection with the Cantor ATM Offering (the “Cantor Prospectus Supplement”) under the Registration Statement.
