Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 25, 2010, Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Anadys) entered into a placement agent
agreement in which Lazard Capital Markets LLC served as lead
placement agent and Piper Jaffray &
Co. served as co-placement agent (the Placement Agents) relating
to the issuance and sale of 5,813,954 shares of Anadys common stock at an offering price of $2.15
per share. Under the terms of the transaction, Anadys will sell the common stock to certain
institutional investors for gross proceeds of approximately $12.5 million.
The net offering proceeds to Anadys from the sale of the common
stock, after deducting the placement agents fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by Anadys, are expected to be approximately $11.3 million.
Pursuant to the terms of
the placement agent agreement, Anadys has agreed to pay the Placement Agents an aggregate fee equal
to 6.38% of the gross proceeds from the offering of common stock. The sale of the common stock is
being made pursuant to subscription agreements between Anadys and each of the investors. The
closing of the offering is expected to take place on June 1, 2010, subject to the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions. A copy of the placement agent agreement and form of subscription
agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1 and 99.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein
by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the placement agent agreement and form of subscription
agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
exhibits hereto which are incorporated by reference.
The
common stock are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement which has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof in connection with a shelf takedown from
Anadys registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158342) which became effective on April
23, 2009. A copy of the opinion of Cooley LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of
the common stock in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
On May 26, 2010, Anadys issued a press release announcing the pricing of the offering. A copy
of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
