Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
|
On June 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement (the “Channel Agreement”) with Intrexon that governs a “channel collaboration” arrangement through which the Company intends to develop and commercialize lantibiotics, a novel class of broad spectrum antibiotics, as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for the treatment of infectious diseases in humans and companion animals. In connection therewith, on June 5, 2012, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement with Intrexon pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to Intrexon 4,392,425 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”) as partial consideration for the execution and delivery of the Channel Agreement. The closing of the issuance of the Initial Shares occurred on June 5, 2012.
CUSIP No. 684023104

Page 5 of 10
|
The Company has also agreed to make certain payments to Intrexon upon the Company’s achievement of designated milestones in the form of shares of Common Stock or at the Company’s option make a cash payment to Intrexon (based upon the fair market value of the shares otherwise required to be issued). The milestone events and amounts payable are as follows: (i) upon filing of the first Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 1.0% of the Base Shares (defined below); (ii) upon the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 2 clinical study, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 1.5% of the Base Shares; (iii) upon the dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 3 clinical study, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 2% of the Base Shares; (iv) upon the filing of the first New Drug Application (NDA) or Biologics License Application (BLA) with the FDA for a product developed pursuant to the Channel Agreement, or alternatively the filing of the first equivalent regulatory filing with a foreign regulatory agency, that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 2.5% of the Base Shares; and (v) upon the granting of the first regulatory approval of a product developed pursuant to the Channel Agreement, that number of shares of Common Stock that are equal to the number of shares of Common Stock comprising 3% of the Base Shares.
Base Shares is defined in the Stock Issuance Agreement to mean (i) the number of shares of Common Stock together with any securities or instruments convertible or exercisable for shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of the relevant milestone event, (ii) minus any shares issuable upon conversion of Capital Inducement Securities. Capital Inducement Securities is defined in the Stock Issuance Agreement to mean warrants or other convertible securities of the Company issued to investors in connection with a debt or equity investment in the Company that are issued in addition to the primary investment securities and in an amount not to exceed 10% of the overall number of shares issued in the investment (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).
Under the Stock Issuance Agreement, Intrexon is entitled, at its election, to participate in future securities offerings of the Company that constitute “Qualified Financings” and purchase securities equal to 30% of the number of shares of common stock or other securities sold in such offering. For this purpose, a “Qualified Financing” means a sale of common stock or equity securities convertible into Common Stock in a public or private offering, raising gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000, where the sale of shares is either registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at the time of issuance or the Company agrees to register the resale of such shares.
The foregoing references to and description of the Channel Agreement and the Stock Issuance Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Channel Agreement and the Stock Issuance Agreement, which are included as Exhibits 1 and 2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference to this Item 3.

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares disclosed hereunder as partial consideration for the execution and delivery of the Channel Agreement. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons, acquire shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company outside of those contemplated by the Stock Issuance Agreement.

Any decision of the Reporting Persons to increase their holdings in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, will depend, however, on numerous factors including, without limitation, the price of shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions related to their purchase and sale, the prospects and profitability of the Company, other business and investment alternatives of the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and general economic and market conditions. At any time, the Reporting Persons, or any of them, may determine to dispose of some or all of their holdings of Common Stock depending on those and other considerations.

(a) The acquisition of additional securities of the Company.

(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company;
(f) Any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(g) Changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

(a) and (b) See Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Statement for the aggregate number of shares and percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the Reporting Persons.

If, at any time, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans or Rule 145 transactions, with respect to an underwritten offering for its own account of any class of securities of the Company (a “Registration Statement”), then each such time, the Company shall give written notice of such intention to file a Registration Statement (a “Piggyback Notice”) to Intrexon at least five (5) days before the anticipated filing date. The Piggyback Notice shall describe the number of shares to be registered and the intended method of distribution and offer Intrexon the opportunity to register pursuant to such Registration Statement such shares held by Intrexon (the “Registrable Shares”) as Intrexon may request in writing to the Company within five (5) days after the date Intrexon first received the Piggyback Notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Piggyback Registration rights shall be subject ratably to potential underwriter’s limitations set forth herein. The Company shall take all reasonable steps to include in the Registration Statement the Registrable Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by Intrexon. The Company shall be entitled to suspend or withdraw a Registration Statement prior to its becoming effective. If the managing underwriter with respect to such an offering advises the Company in writing that the inclusion of all or any portion of the Registrable Shares which Intrexon has requested to be included in the Registration Statement would materially jeopardize the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of Registrable Shares which the underwriter advises the Company in writing may be sold without materially jeopardizing the offering. If Intrexon disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting it may elect to withdraw its Registrable Shares from it by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Intrexon also agrees to be subject to any lock-up agreements reasonably requested by a managing underwriter so long as the Company shares held by the Company’s largest shareholder are also subject to a similar lock-up agreement. The Company shall not grant registration rights to any other holder or prospective holder of its securities in connection with a private placement of the Company’s securities unless, (i) all shares held by Intrexon are, at the time of such private placement, included on a Registration Statement, or (ii) the Company agrees, in connection with such private placement, to grant Intrexon the right to include on the Registration Statement a number of Intrexon’s Registrable Shares equal to one half of the number of shares to be registered on behalf of the other holder or prospective holder.
The foregoing references to and description of the Stock Issuance Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Stock Issuance Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference to this Item 6. Except as set forth herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, between the Reporting Persons, and any other person, with respect to any securities of the Company, including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements.
