Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions: 

On December 20, 2013, Endocyte, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Cowen and Company, LLC ("Cowen") to offer and sell shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), with an aggregate offering price of up to $60,000,000 from time to time through Cowen as its sales agent. The offer and sale of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187334) (the "Registration Statement"), a base prospectus dated April 23, 2013, and a prospectus supplement dated December 20, 2013, each of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the Common Stock, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Common Stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

Under the Sales Agreement, the Company will set the parameters for the sale of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitations on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Cowen may sell the shares by methods deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made through The NASDAQ Global Market, on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, if expressly authorized by the Company, Cowen may also sell shares in negotiated transactions. Cowen will use commercially reasonable efforts in conducting such sales activities consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. The Company and Cowen each have the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon prior written notice as provided in the Sales Agreement.

The aggregate compensation payable to Cowen as sales agent will be up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement and the Company has agreed to reimburse Cowen for certain expenses. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement and may, at any time, suspend solicitation and offers under the Sales Agreement. The Company has agreed in the Sales Agreement to indemnify and provide contribution to Cowen against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The legal opinion of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP relating to the validity of the shares of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
