Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 11, 2010, OXiGENE, Inc. (OXiGENE or the Company) issued a press release
announcing that it will raise approximately $7.5 million in gross proceeds, before deducting
placement agents fees and other estimated offering expenses, in a private placement of common
stock of the Company and warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the Offering) relating
to the sale of (i) 6,578,945 shares of Common Stock and warrants as follows: (A) Series A Warrants
to purchase 6,578,945 shares of Common Stock, which are exercisable immediately after issuance, have
a 5-year term and a per share exercise price of $1.52; and (B) Short-Term Series B Warrants to purchase
6,578,945 shares of Common Stock, which will be exercisable at a per share exercise price of $1.14 on the earlier of the six month
anniversary of the closing date or the date on which the Companys stockholders approve the
transaction, and shall expire on the later of three months from the effective date of the
registration statement to be filed to register the resale by investors of the shares issued in this
transaction and seven months from the closing date. The investors will also have the right to
receive (C) a Series C Warrant for every Series B Warrant that they exercise, which would be
exercisable on the earlier of the six month anniversary of the closing date or the date on which
the Companys stockholders approve the transaction, would expire five years after the date on which
they become exercisable, and have a per share exercise price of $1.14. The exercise prices of the
warrants are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In addition, the Company will be
required to issue (ii) additional shares of Common Stock to the investors in the event that the
price per share of the Common Stock is less than the price paid in this offering during a specified
period following the later of the date on which the shareholders approve the transaction and the
earlier of the date on which the investors securities have been registered for resale or are able
to be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
sale is expected to close on March 12, 2010, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions. The Companys press release dated March 11, 2010, announcing its agreement to sell the
Common Stock and Warrants, is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the
information contained therein is incorporated herein by reference.
The Common Stock and Warrants to
purchase Common Stock were offered and sold pursuant to a
Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 10, 2010. The gross proceeds to
the Company from the Offering will be approximately $7.5 million. After deducting the fees of the
placement agent and other estimated offering expenses, the net proceeds to the Company from the
Offering will be approximately $6.9 million.
The Series A, Series B and Series C warrants issued in connection with the offering contain
anti-dilution protection upon the issuance of any common stock, securities convertible into Common
Stock, or certain other issuances at a price below the then-existing exercise price, with certain
exceptions. The warrants contain limitations that prevent the holder of any warrants from acquiring
shares upon exercise of a warrant that would result in the number of shares beneficially owned by
it and its affiliates exceeding 4.9% of the total number of shares of the Companys Common Stock
then issued and outstanding (which limit may be raised to 9.9% upon the request of the holder). In
addition, upon certain changes in control of OXiGENE, the holder of a Series A, Series B or Series
C warrant can elect to receive, subject to certain limitations and assumptions, cash equal to the
Black-Scholes value of the outstanding warrants.
The Company will also issue additional shares of the Companys Common Stock to the investors
in the form of Series D Warrants to purchase Common Stock, which shall only be exercisable if the
market price (as defined below) of the Companys common stock on the 30th trading day
following the earlier of (a) the effective date of the Registration Statement, and (b) the date on
which the purchasers in the offering can freely sell their common stock pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) without restriction
(the Eligibility Date) is less than the purchase price in the offering ($1.14). If made
exercisable pursuant to the preceding adjustment mechanism, the Series D Warrants will become
immediately exercisable and will have an exercise price of $0.001 per share to purchase a number of
shares of the Companys Common Stock such that the aggregate average price per
share purchased by the investors is equal to the market price (defined as the average of the seven
lowest closing prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the thirty
trading days preceding the Eligibility Date).
In connection with the offering, OXiGENE also entered into a registration rights agreement
with the investors. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, OXiGENE granted to
the investors certain registration rights related to the shares of common stock sold in the private
placement, including the shares to be acquired upon exercise of the warrants, and the warrants
themselves. The Company is required to file a registration statement for the resale of the shares
of common stock and warrants issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement within 10
business days following the closing date of the offering and to use its reasonable best efforts to
cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 40 calendar days following the
closing date (or 70 calendar days following the closing date if the Securities and Exchange
Commission determines to review the registration statement). OXiGENE may incur liquidated damages
if it does not meet its registration obligations under the registration rights agreement. OXiGENE
also agreed to other customary obligations regarding registration, including indemnification and
maintenance of the registration statement.
The Company also entered into a voting agreement with Symphony ViDA Holdings LLC, holder of
approximately 43% of the outstanding shares of the Companys Common Stock, pursuant to which
Symphony agreed to vote to approve the Offering and the transactions and agreements related thereto
at any shareholder meeting.
OXiGENE has also executed Amendment No. 3 to its Stockholder Rights
Agreement with American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company in order to exempt the issuances of securities in the offering from the operation of the Stockholder Rights Agreement.
ROTH Capital Partners, LLC served as the sole placement agent for the offering.
The Registration Rights Agreement, form of Series A Warrant, form of Series B Warrant, form of
Series C Warrant, form of Series D Warrant, Amendment No. 3 to Stockholder Rights
Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement, and Voting Agreement
used in connection with the Offering are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2,
4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.1 and 10.2,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and such documents are incorporated herein by
reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Registration
Rights Agreement, form of Series A Warrant, form of Series B Warrant, form of Series C Warrant,
form of Series D Warrant, Amendment No. 3 to Stockholder Rights
Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement, and Voting Agreement, does not purport to
be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
The securities issued in the
offering are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated
thereunder because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the
investors are accredited investors, the investors took the securities for investment and not resale
and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
