ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 26, 2017, Kadmon Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the following agreements in connection with offerings of an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), together with accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,600,000 shares of its common stock (the “Warrants”) at a combined public offering price of $3.001 per share and accompanying warrant: (i) an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Jefferies LLC and Piper Jaffray & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters, relating to an underwritten offering (the “Underwritten Offering”) of 18,500,000 shares of common stock, together with accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,400,000 shares of common stock; and (ii) subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional investors, relating to a registered direct offering (the “Direct Offering” and, together with the Underwritten Offering, the “Offerings”) of an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of common stock, together with accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,200,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement provides the underwriters in the Underwritten Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,775,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase an additional 1,110,000 shares of common stock from the Company (the “Underwriters’ Option”).

 

The Shares and Warrants are being sold in combination, with one Warrant for each Share sold, representing the right to purchase 0.40 shares of common stock. The combined purchase price to the public for each Share and accompanying Warrant is $3.001. The combined purchase price to be paid to the Company for each Share and accompanying Warrant will be $2.82094. The closing of the Underwritten Offering is expected to take place on September 28, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The closing of the Direct Offering is expected to take place on September 28, 2017 with respect to certain institutional investors and on or about October 10, 2017 with respect to other institutional investors, in each case subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offerings, including the exercise of the Underwriters’ Option but excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants issued in the Offerings, will be approximately $75.3 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

The Warrants may be exercised at any time on or after September 28, 2017 until September 28, 2022. The initial exercise price for the Warrants will be $3.35, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock.

 

The Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-219712) registering an aggregate of $150 million of designated securities of the Company (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2017.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

Upon the closing of the Offerings, the Company will enter into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Warrant Agent”), pursuant to which the Warrants will be issued and the Warrant Agent will act as warrant agent for the Warrants. The terms and conditions of the Warrants are set forth in the Warrant Agreement and the form of Warrant Certificate attached as Exhibit A thereto. 

 

 

 

   

A copy of the legal opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, relating to the Shares and the Warrants issued in the Offerings, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.

ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
