On April 10, 2012, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Leerink Swann LLC, acting as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell 7,150,000 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $7.30 per share (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,072,500 shares. The Company expects to receive approximately $48.7 million in net proceeds from the Offering, after underwriting fees and discounts and other offering expenses, or approximately $56.1 million if the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full. The shares are expected to be delivered to the Underwriters on or about April 16, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Leerink Swann LLC are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Lazard Capital Markets LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Oppenheimer & Company, Inc. are acting as co-managers.
The offering was made pursuant to our effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-166532) (the “Registration Statement”), which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-180635) filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(b) on April 10, 2012, and a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC.
We have made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Underwriting Agreement concerning us and the Registration Statement related to the offering of the shares. We also have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting 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.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, certain of our directors and executive officers entered into agreements in substantially the form agreed to by the Underwriters providing for a 90-day “lock-up” period with respect to sales of specified securities, subject to certain exceptions.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
We issued a press release on April 11, 2012 announcing the pricing of the offering, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
