On February 7, 2020, OncoSec Medical Incorporated (the “Company”) announced the closing (the “Closing”) of its previously announced strategic transaction (the “Transaction”) with Grand Decade Developments Limited, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited, a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“CGP”), and its affiliate, Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sirtex” and, together with CGP, the “Buyers”). On October 10, 2019, the Company and the Buyers entered into Stock Purchase Agreements (as amended, the “Purchase Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to CGP and Sirtex 10,000,000 shares and 2,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of $30 million.

 

As contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, and in connection with the Closing, on February 7, 2020, the Company entered into Registration Rights Agreements with each of CGP and Sirtex (the “Registration Rights Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, CGP and Sirtex will each have the right to deliver to the Company a written notice requiring the Company to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to resales of shares of some or all of the common stock of the Company held by CGP and Sirtex.
