Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 2, 2021, Immunovant, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Immunovant”), and Roivant Sciences Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited company (“Roivant”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Immunovant agreed to issue and sell, and Roivant agreed to purchase, 17,021,276 shares of Immunovant common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), at a per share price of $11.75 (the “Equity Investment”). The per share purchase price represents approximately a 15% premium to Immunovant’s 20 trading day volume weighted average price. As of July 30, 2021, Roivant held approximately 57.5% of Immunovant’s outstanding shares of common stock, and immediately following the consummation of the Equity Investment will hold approximately 63.8% of Immunovant’s outstanding shares of common stock. The Equity Investment is expected to be consummated within one business day of the date hereof.
The aggregate gross proceeds to Immunovant from the Equity Investment will be $200.0 million. Immunovant intends to use the proceeds to advance the development of IMVT-1401 in multiple indications.
Each of Immunovant and Roivant made certain customary representations and warranties and agreed to certain covenants in the Purchase Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Immunovant and Roivant have acknowledged and agreed that, as between them, the Shares shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” for all purposes of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2019, by and among Immunovant and the investors party thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), including Roivant’s rights thereunder with respect to Registrable Securities. A description of the Registration Rights Agreement is included in Immunovant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2019, and is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference. As described in Item 1.01, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Immunovant has agreed to issue and sell the Shares, and Roivant has agreed to purchase the Shares. The issuance and sale of the Shares is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the Purchase Agreement, Roivant represented to Immunovant that it is an “accredited investor” as defined under the Securities Act and that the Shares are being acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends will be affixed to any certificates or book entry notations evidencing the Shares.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(c)
Effective August 2, 2021, Dr. Frank M. Torti, age 42, Immunovant’s current Chairperson, was appointed Executive Chairperson.
