Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 10, 2010, Micromet, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell and the Underwriter agreed to purchase for resale to the public (the “Public Offering”), subject to the terms and conditions expressed therein, 9,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00004 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price per share of $7.15. The Underwriter was also granted an option to purchase 1,485,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the same price per share to cover over-allotments. Delivery of the shares sold is expected to occur on November 16, 2010, subject to customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company.  It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriter for losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Common Stock.  The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The shares sold were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-162541) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on October 16, 2009 and which was declared effective by the Commission on November 2, 2009, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof, a related Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act (the “462(b) Registration Statement,” and together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”), which was effective upon filing, and a final prospectus supplement relating to the shares, dated November 11, 2010, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (as so supplemented, collectively, the “Prospectus”). In connection with the filing of the Registration Statements and the Prospectus, Cooley LLP, legal counsel to the Company, issued an opinion and consent to the Company as to the validity of the shares of Common Stock being offered in the Public Offering, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 5.1 and 23.1 and which constitute part of the Registration Statements.

Item 8.01  Other Events.

On November 11, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the offering.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
