Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On December 18, 2018, Cancer Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an engagement agreement (the “Engagement Letter”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to act as the Company’s exclusive placement agent on a reasonable best efforts basis in connection with a public offering (the “Offering”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company agreed to pay Wainwright a cash fee of 7.0% and a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering and to issue Wainwright warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock placed in the Offering. The Company also agreed to reimburse Wainwright for its expenses in connection with the offering on a non-accountable basis in an amount equal to $25,000 and up to $50,000 for legal fees and expenses. A copy of the Engagement Letter is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.

 

On January 28, 2019, the Company announced the pricing of the Offering of 15,217,392 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a public offering price of $0.23 per Share. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein. All of the Shares are being sold by the Company. In connection with the Offering, on January 28, 2019, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional investors in the offering. The form of Purchase Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.2. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $2.97 million, after deducting placement agent fees and estimate offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the offering to pay any amounts it is required to pay to its lenders, and if any proceeds remain available, to pay certain costs previously incurred by the Company in connection with its strategic initiatives and to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company, in connection with the Offering, agreed to issue to Wainwright warrants to purchase up to 1,065,217 shares of Common Stock, or 7.0% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering (the “Wainwright Warrants” and together with the shares issuable upon exercise of the Wainwright Warrants, the “Wainwright Securities”). The Wainwright Warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending five years from the date of the execution of the Purchase Agreements, at a price per share equal to $0.253 (110% of the offering price to the public per Share).

 

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-218229), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and declared effective by the Commission on June 5, 2017. A preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the offering have been filed with the Commission. The Offering is expected to close on or about January 31, 2019, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

A copy of the legal opinion and consent of Lowenstein Sandler LLP relating to the validity of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

 

On January 28, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the launch of the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

   
   

 

The Engagement Letter and Purchase Agreements contain customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Wainwright Warrants, Engagement Letter and Purchase Agreements are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the respective agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
