Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 2, 2020, 9 Meters Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Sales Agreement, dated July 22, 2020 (the “Sales Agreement”), that it had entered into with Truist Securities, Inc. (formerly, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.), as sales agent. The Amendment will be effective when the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-249268) (the “New Registration Statement”) becomes effective.
Before being amended, the Sales Agreement provided for the sale and issuance of shares of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), in an “at the market offering” (the “ATM Offering”) pursuant to shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 223669) (the “Prior Registration Statement”), which includes a base prospectus, dated July 13, 2018, and a prospectus supplement, dated July 22, 2020, providing for the sale of up to $40.0 million of Shares in the ATM Offering. As of October 1, 2020, the Company has issued and sold 3,296,045 Shares under the Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of $2,478,842. Shares may continue to be sold under the Sales Agreement pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement until the effective date of the New Registration Statement.
The Amendment to the Sales Agreement provides for the issuance and sale of Shares in the ATM Offering pursuant to the New Registration Statement. The issuance and sale of Shares in the ATM Offering will be made under the New Registration Statement, once it is effective, pursuant to a prospectus, which has been filed with the New Registration Statement.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement and the Amendment, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2, and are incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell the Shares or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
