| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 11, 2020, Replimune Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SVB Leerink LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, at its option, up to an aggregate of $75,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), through the Agent, as the Company’s sales agent.
Any Shares to be offered and sold under the Sales Agreement will be issued and sold (i) by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or in negotiated transactions, if authorized by the Company and (ii) pursuant to, and only upon the effectiveness of, a registration statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2020 for an offering of up to $350,000,000 of various securities, including shares of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and/or units for sale to the public in one or more public offerings.
Subject to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company will pay the Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares, if any. The Company has also agreed to provide the Agent with customary indemnification rights.
Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the parties mutually agreed to terminate that certain sales agreement, dated August 8, 2019, by and between the Company and the Agent (as amended, the “2019 Sales Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s previous at-the-market offering program (the “2019 ATM Program”).
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Sales Agreement, the Company and the Agent mutually agreed to terminate the 2019 Sales Agreement. Under the 2019 Sales Agreement, and prior to its amendment in June 2020, the Company could sell from time to time, at its option, up to an aggregate of $75,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock. In June 2020, the 2019 Sales Agreement was amended to reduce the aggregate offering amount thereunder from $75,000,000 to $30,000,000. The Company sold 287,559 shares of its common stock under the 2019 ATM Program for net proceeds of approximately $4.6 million. As a result of the termination of the 2019 Sales Agreement, the Company will not offer or sell any additional shares under the 2019 ATM Program.
