Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 24, 2017, Jaguar Health, Inc. (Jaguar or the Company) entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the CSPA) with L2 Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (L2 Capital), relating to an offering (the Equity Line Offering) of an aggregate of up to 12,100,000 shares (the Shares) of the Companys voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), of which 10,000,000 of such Shares are being offered in an indirect primary offering consisting of an equity line of credit. The Equity Line Offering is being made pursuant to the Registration Statement and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a separate prospectus supplement dated November 24, 2017.
The Company initially issued 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock (the Commitment Shares) to L2 Capital as an inducement to enter into the CSPA. Additionally, under the terms of the CSPA, the Company has the right to put, or sell, up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the Purchase Shares) to L2 Capital for an Investment Amount (as defined below and subject to adjustment) at a fixed price of $0.52 per share (the Purchase Price).
From time to time over the term of the CSPA, and at the Companys sole discretion, the Company may direct L2 Capital to purchase the Purchase Shares by presenting L2 Capital with purchase notices (Purchase Notices) specifying a number of Purchase Shares to be purchased by L2 Capital pursuant to the terms of the CSPA. Each Purchase Notice shall require L2 Capital to purchase Shares equal to the lesser of (a) 500,000 shares or (b) 200% of the average trading volume of the Common Stock in the 5 trading days immediately preceding the applicable Purchase Date (each such purchase, a Regular Purchase). The Purchase Date means with respect to any Regular Purchase, the business day that the respective portion of the Purchase Shares are reflected in L2 Capitals account. Each such purchase of Purchase Shares will have an individual closing within one trading day following the receipt of the Purchase Shares for the applicable Purchase Notice.
With respect to the Purchase Shares that are the subject of any Purchase Notice, L2 Capital shall deliver to the Company an amount equal to the product of (x) the Purchase Price and (y) the number of Purchase Shares set forth on such Purchase Notice, minus deposit and clearing costs associated with such purchase. Any proceeds that the Company receives under the CSPA are expected to be used for the commercialization of Mytesi and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The transaction expenses associated with the Equity Line Offering are anticipated to be approximately $97,000.
The Company may issue Purchase Shares at any time on or after the date of the CSPA until the date on which L2 Capital has purchased 10,000,000 Purchase Shares, unless the CSPA is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms; provided, that, the Company is not permitted to submit more than one Purchase Notice to L2 Capital in any 3 trading day period without L2 Capitals consent. Further, the number of Purchase Shares to be purchased by L2 Capital may not exceed the number of shares that, when added to the number of shares of the Common Stock then beneficially owned by L2 Capital, would exceed 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Additionally, the Company is not required to deliver Purchase Shares, and L2 Capital is not entitled to receive such Purchase Shares, if the issuance of such Purchase Shares would exceed the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock that the Company may issue without breaching our obligations under the rules or regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market.
The Company has the option to increase the equity line of credit by an additional 7,808,142 shares of Common Stock by notifying L2 Capital and issuing an additional commitment fee of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock no earlier than 30 days from the closing of the Equity Line Offering and no later than 40 days from the closing of Equity Line Offering. Concurrently with the Equity Line Offering, we entered into a share purchase agreement with L2 Capital on November 24, 2017, pursuant to which we agreed to sell 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to L2 Capital at a price of $0.25 per share (the Registered Direct Offering). The terms of the Registered Direct Offering are described in a separate Current Report on Form 8-K filed on the date hereof.
With regard to the purchase and resale of the Purchase Shares, L2 Capital is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in resales of Purchase Shares may be deemed underwriters. The Company will receive proceeds from the sale of the Purchase Shares directly to L2 Capital pursuant to the CSPA; however the Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the Purchase Shares by L2 Capital thereafter. We are not paying any underwriting discounts or commissions.
The CSPA contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement 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.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the CSPA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the CSPA, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
The legal opinion and consent of Reed Smith LLP addressing the validity of the securities issued in connection with the Equity Line Offering are filed as Exhibit 5.1 and Exhibit 23.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated into the Registration Statement.
