Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 20, 2018, Kindred Biosciences, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representative of the underwriters, relating to our offering of 4,631,578 shares of common stock for total gross proceeds of $44 million. The offering price is $9.50 per share of common stock. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement provides the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 694,736 shares of common stock from the Company.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by us, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the underwriters, including with respect to liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as well as customary termination provisions.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company, and our directors and executive officers have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock held by them for a period ending 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. subject to certain exceptions.
The Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as an exhibit to provide interested persons with information regarding its terms, but is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of the Underwriting Agreement as of specific dates indicated therein and were solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement.
A copy of the opinion of TroyGould PC relating to the legality of the offered common stock is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
