Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
December 1, 2008, Micromet, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Committed Equity Financing Facility (“CEFF”)
with
Kingsbridge Capital Limited (“Kingsbridge”)
pursuant to which Kingsbridge committed to purchase, subject to certain
conditions, up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock. The terms of
the CEFF are set forth in a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”)
and a
Registration Rights Agreement (the “Rights
Agreement”),
each
of which was entered into with Kingsbridge on December 1, 2008. Subject to
certain conditions, the CEFF allows the Company to raise capital as required,
at
the time and in the amounts deemed suitable to the Company, following the
effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by the Company with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable in
connection with the CEFF and upon the exercise of the warrant discussed below,
until December 1, 2011. The Company is not obligated to sell any of the
$75 million of common stock available under the CEFF and there are no
minimum commitments or minimum use penalties. The Company previously entered
into a $25 million CEFF with Kingsbridge in August 2006, and the new agreement
with Kingsbridge will supersede the prior CEFF. The $75 million maximum amount
of the new CEFF will be reduced by any amounts drawn down on the August 2006
CEFF prior to the date on which the SEC declares the registration statement
effective. To date, Micromet, has not drawn down any amounts under the August
2006 CEFF.
Subject
to certain conditions and limitations, from time to time under the new CEFF,
the
Company may require Kingsbridge to purchase newly-issued shares of the Company’s
common stock at a price that is between 86% and 94% of the volume weighted
average price on each trading day during an eight day pricing period provided
that if the average market price on any day during the pricing period is less
than the greater of $2.00 or 85% of the closing price of the day preceding
the
first day of the pricing period, then such day would not be used in determining
the number of shares that would be issued in the draw down and the aggregate
amount of such draw down would be decreased by one-eighth.
The
maximum dollar amount of shares that the Company may require Kingsbridge to
purchase in any pricing period is equal to the greater of (a) a percentage
of
the Company’s market capitalization as determined at the time of the draw down
(which percentage ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% depending upon the Company’s market
capitalization at the time of the draw down) or (b) four times the average
trading volume of the Company’s common stock for a specified period prior to the
draw down notice, multiplied by the closing price of the common stock on the
trading day prior to the draw down notice, in each case subject to certain
conditions. If either of the foregoing calculations yields a draw down amount
in
excess of $10 million, then the individual draw down amount is limited to $10
million. Under the terms of the new CEFF, the maximum number of shares the
Company may sell to Kingsbridge is 10,104,919 shares (exclusive of shares
issuable to Kingsbridge upon exercise of a warrant issued to Kingsbridge and
described below, and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase
Agreement), which may limit the amount of proceeds the Company is able to obtain
from the new CEFF. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the
new
CEFF will be reduced by any shares issued under the August 2006 CEFF prior
to
the date on which the SEC declares the registration statement effective. The
CEFF does not contain any restrictions on the Company’s operating activities,
automatic pricing resets or minimum market volume restrictions.
The
new
CEFF requires the Company to file a resale registration statement covering
the
resale of shares issued pursuant to the CEFF and underlying the warrants
discussed below on or before January 30, 2009, and to use commercially
reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by
the
Securities and Exchange Commission on or before May 30, 2009.
In
connection with the new CEFF, the Company issued a warrant to Kingsbridge to
purchase 135,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$4.44 per share (the “Warrant”).
The
Warrant is exercisable beginning on June 1, 2009 and will remain exercisable,
subject to specified exceptions, until June 1, 2014. In connection with the
August 2006 CEFF, the Company issued to Kingsbridge a warrant to purchase up
to
285,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.2145 per share, which
warrant is not affected by the Company’s entering into the new CEFF and the
issuance of the new Warrant to Kingsbridge.
The
Company relied on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of
Regulation D thereunder, in connection with obtaining Kingsbridge’s
commitment under the new CEFF, and for the issuance of the new Warrant in
consideration of such commitment.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Rights Agreement and
the
Warrant are summaries of the material terms of the agreements and do not purport
to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase
Agreement, the Rights Agreement and the Warrant, which are attached to this
Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and
are incorporated by reference herein.
On
December 2, 2008, the Company also issued a press release announcing the
entering into of the CEFF. A copy of the press release is filed as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by
reference herein.
