Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 16, 2011, Unilife Corporation (Unilife) entered into an underwriting agreement (the
Underwriting Agreement) with Jefferies & Company,
Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named in
Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement, relating to the public offering, issuance
and sale of 8,250,000 shares of Unilifes common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common
Stock). The price to the public in this offering is $4.35 per share and the Underwriter has
agreed to purchase the shares from Unilife at a price of $4.1325 per share. The net proceeds to
Unilife from this offering are expected to be approximately $33,808,125 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by Unilife.
The offering is expected to close on or about November 21, 2011, subject to customary closing
conditions. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Unilife also granted the Underwriter a
30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,237,500 shares of Common Stock to cover
overallotments, if any.
The shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to be dated as of
November 16, 2011, which is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in
connection with a takedown from Unilifes shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-173195), which became effective on June 30, 2011, and the base prospectus dated June 30, 2011.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
by Unilife, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of Unilife and the
Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other
obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Each director and executive officer of
Unilife has entered into an agreement with the Underwriter not to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of securities of Unilife beneficially owned by such director or officer during the 90-day
period following the offering, subject to certain exceptions and extension in certain
circumstances.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be 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 report. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement,
including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any
party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors and
the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of Unilife. Rather,
investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in Unilifes filings with the
SEC. A copy of the opinion of DLA Piper LLP (US) relating to the legality of the issuance and sale
of the shares in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
On November 15, 2011, Unilife issued a news release announcing the offering. A copy of this news
release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. On November 16, 2011, Unilife issued a news
release announcing the pricing of the offering. A copy of this news release is attached as Exhibit
99.2 to this report.
