Underwriting Agreement
On October 9, 2014, PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), for which Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Citibank Global Markets Inc. are acting as representatives, to issue and sell to the Underwriters 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-197922) (the “Registration Statement”) and a related prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), at a public offering price of $36.25 per share (the “Offering”). The Company also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of its common stock at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $102.1 million (or approximately $117.5 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares).
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters and termination and other customary provisions.
The above description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
