Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On May 6, 2014, Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, at its option, up to an aggregate of $75.0 million of its shares of common stock through Stifel, as sales agent. Sales of the common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement, if any, will be made on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the Company’s previously filed and currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-188227) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices. Additionally, under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may also sell shares of its common stock through Stifel, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or otherwise, at negotiated prices or at prices related to the prevailing market price. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, Stifel may not engage in any proprietary trading or trading as principal for Stifel’s own account. Stifel will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Company’s common stock from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company will pay Stifel a commission of 2% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock under the Sales Agreement, if any. The Company has also agreed to provide Stifel with customary indemnification rights. The offering of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the sale of all of the common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, (b) the close of business on December 15, 2015, provided, however, that the Sales Agreement may be extended for successive one-year periods without limitation upon the mutual written agreement of the parties made prior to such date or the anniversary thereof, as applicable, or (c) the termination of the Sales Agreement by the Company or Stifel.

 

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 herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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