Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 2, 2014, Kindred Biosciences, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “company”) entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, relating to our public offering of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share of common stock. In addition, the underwriting agreement provides the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of common stock from the company.
We expect the offering to close on April 8, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The net proceeds to us from the offering are expected to be approximately $50.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares from us.
The underwriting agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by us, customary conditions to closing, and indemnification obligations of the company and the underwriters, including with respect to liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as well as customary termination provisions.
Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the company and our directors and officers have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock held by us or them for a period ending 90 days after the date of the underwriting agreement without first obtaining the written consent of the representatives of the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions.
The underwriting agreement is attached hereto as an exhibit to provide interested persons with information regarding its terms, but is not intended to provide any other factual information about the company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the underwriting agreement were made only for purposes of the underwriting agreement as of specific dates indicated therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the underwriting agreement.
The foregoing description of the underwriting agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the underwriting agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
