Schedule 1

AURX Warrant terms

 

  a. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for a fully paid share of common stock of Audeo Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) (a “Share”) upon exercise of the warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (defined below).

 

  b. Each warrant is exercisable for shares of common stock at a premium of 30% to the volume weighted average price of the Shares over the 60 trading days immediately following the listing of the Company on a recognised securities exchange (the “Exercise Price”), payable in full on exercise of the warrant.

 

  c. The warrants vest and are exercisable from the date that is six months after the date of the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO Date”) until the date that is the later to occur of the following (the “Expiry Date”):

 

  (i) three years from IPO Date; and

 

  (ii) the earlier of:

 

  (A) six months from the date that the Company announces to the market the results for the primary end point of the Phase III clinical trial period for HA-Irinotecan in colorectal cancer; and

 

  (B) five years from the IPO Date.

Any warrant not exercised, automatically expires on the Expiry Date.

 

  d. The Company must give the holder of each warrant a certificate or holding statement including these warrant terms and stating:

 

  (i) the number of warrants issued to each holder;

 

  (ii) the Exercise Price of the warrants; and

 

  (iii) the date of issue of the warrants.

 

  e. Warrants may only be exercised by the delivery to the registered office of the Company or its share registry of a certificate in the form attached as annexure A to these warrant terms and a notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in writing stating the intention of the holder to:

 

  (i) exercise all or a specified number of warrants; and

 

  (ii) either pay the Exercise Price in cash for the exercise of each such warrant or elect a cashless exercise for the exercise of each such warrant.

 

  f. The Exercise Notice must be accompanied by the certificate or holding statement for the warrants being exercised, if not a cashless exercise, and a cheque made payable to the Company for the Exercise Price for the warrants being exercised.

 

  g. In lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash for the exercise of each warrant, if the fair market value of one share of common stock is greater than the Exercise Price, the holder may elect a cashless exercise of the warrant.

 

  h. The warrants will be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Notice is received by the Company or the share registry.

 

6546706/13

     page 13        


  i. The Company will allot the Shares to which a holder is entitled following exercise of warrants and deliver a holding statement with respect to such Shares within the timeframe required by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  j. The exercise of only some portion of a warrant will not affect the rights of the holder to the balance of the warrants held by them.

 

  k. If the holder of the warrants exercises less than the total number of warrants registered in the holder’s name:

 

  (i) the holder of the warrants must surrender its warrant certificate, if one has been issued by the Company; and

 

  (ii) the Company must cancel the warrant and issue the holder of the warrants a new warrant or holding statement stating the remaining number of warrants held by the holder and stating the information set out in item (d) above.

 

  l. Warrants will not confer an entitlement to receive dividends declared and paid by the Company, nor an entitlement to vote at general meetings of the Company unless the holder of the warrants has exercised its warrants before the record date for determining these entitlements and participates as a result of holding Shares.

 

  m. Each Share issued on exercise of an warrant will:

 

  (i) rank equally in all respects (including, without limitation, rights relating to dividends) with other issued Shares;

 

  (ii) be issued credited as fully paid;

 

  (iii) be duly authorised and issued by all necessary corporate action; and

 

  (iv) be allotted and issued free from all liens, charges and encumbrances whether known about or not including statutory and other pre-emption rights and any transfer restrictions.

 

  n. The Company will apply to the exchange on which the Company is listed for official quotation of the Shares issued upon exercise of warrants within the time period required by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  o. The warrants are not transferable without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld only where all warrants held by the holder are transferred to a related body corporate of the holder (or, in the case of a custodian of a fund, a custodian of a fund with the same manager), that:

 

  (i) the Company is satisfied (acting reasonably) is a permitted transferee under applicable securities law without additional disclosure or other regulatory requirements on either the transferor or the Company;

 

  (ii) has provided any written certification or other evidence of their sophisticated/professional/exempt investor status, reasonably requested by the Company; and

 

  (iii) has agreed in writing to be bound by these warrant terms (including, if required by the Company, delivering a certificate in the form attached as annexure A to these warrant terms on exercise of the warrants).

 

  p. A holder of warrants does not have the right to participate in bonus issues or new issues of securities offered to shareholders until Shares are allotted to the holder pursuant to the exercise of the relevant warrants.

 

6546706/13

     page 14        


  q. After the listing of the Company on a securities exchange, and in the event of a reorganisation (including, without limitation, consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the capital of the Company, the rights of the holders of warrants (including, without limitation, the number of warrants to which the warrant holder is entitled and the exercise price) will be changed (as appropriate) in accordance with the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

 

  r. If after the listing of the Company on a securities exchange, the Company makes a pro rata issue (other than a bonus issue) to existing shareholders and no Shares have been issued in respect of the warrants before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the Exercise Price of each warrant will be reduced in the manner permitted by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  s. If after the listing of the Company on a securities exchange, the Company makes a bonus issue to existing shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of a warrant before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of Shares over which that warrant is exercisable will be increased in the manner permitted by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  t. The Company is entitled to treat the registered holder of a warrant as the absolute holder of that warrant and is not bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, that warrant on the part of any person other than the registered holder, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute.

 

  u. If the Company is obliged to make a payment in respect of withholding tax in relation to the warrants, the Company must:

 

  (i) promptly pay any amount deducted to the appropriate governmental taxation authority;

 

  (ii) if requested by the warrant holder, within 30 days after that request, give to that warrant holder a copy of the relevant documentation evidencing the payment; and

 

  (iii) issue the warrant holder the net number of warrants after making the payment.

(n) if the holder is an employee benefit plan but is not an investor which is subject to the prohibited transaction rules of Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or the fiduciary responsibility provisions of the U.S. Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) (such an investor, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), the acquisition and holding of the Shares by the holder complies with all applicable laws governing the holder, is in accordance with the holder’s governing documents, and will not result in the assets of the Company being treated as the “plan assets” of the holder under applicable law; and

 

(o)

if the holder is a Benefit Plan Investor, (i) the holder’s commitment to purchase the Shares does not, in the aggregate, constitute more than 10% of the fair market value of the holder’s assets, (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Shares by the holder complies with all applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and other applicable laws governing the holder and is in accordance with the holder’s governing documents, (iii) the acquisition and holding of the Shares by the holder either does not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or one or more statutory or administrative exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code is applicable to such

COMPANY

   :    AUDEO ONCOLOGY, INC.

SECURITY

   :    COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT

   :    [insert number of Initial Shares / True-Up Shares (as applicable)] SHARES

DATE

   :    [insert date of issue of the relevant shares]

 

 

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed shares, the Purchaser represents to the Company as follows:

1. The Company May Rely on These Representations. The Purchaser understands that the Company’s sale of the shares to the Purchaser has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because the Company believes, relying in part on the Purchaser’s representations in this document, that an exemption from such registration requirement is available for such sale. The Purchaser understands that the availability of this exemption depends upon the representations the Purchaser is making to the Company in this document being true and correct.

2. The Purchaser is Purchasing for Investment. The Purchaser is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the benefit of any U.S. person. The Purchaser is purchasing the shares solely for investment purposes, and not for further sale. The Purchaser’s entire legal and beneficial ownership interest in the shares is being purchased and shall be held solely for its account. The Purchaser is not a party to, and does not presently intend to enter into, any contract or other arrangement with any other person or entity involving the resale, transfer, grant of participation with respect to or other distribution of any of the shares. The Purchaser’s investment intent is not limited to its present intention to hold the shares for the minimum capital gains period specified under any applicable tax law, for a deferred sale, for a specified increase or decrease in the market price of the shares, or for any other fixed period in the future.

3. The Purchaser Can Protect Its Own Interests. The Purchaser can properly evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the shares and can protect its own interests in this regard, whether by reason of the Purchaser’s own business and financial expertise, the business and financial expertise of certain professional advisors unaffiliated with the Company with whom the Purchaser has consulted, or the Purchaser’s preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons.

 

6546706/13

     page 21        


4. The Purchaser is Informed About the Company. The Purchaser is sufficiently aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the shares. The Purchaser has had opportunity to discuss the plans, operations and financial condition of the Company with its officers, directors or controlling persons, and has received all information it deems appropriate for assessing the risk of an investment in the shares.

5. The Purchaser Recognises Its Economic Risk. The Purchaser realizes that the purchase of the shares involves a high degree of risk, and that the Company’s future prospects are uncertain. The Purchaser is able to hold the shares indefinitely if required, and is able to bear the loss of its entire investment in the shares.

6. The Purchaser Knows the Shares are Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the shares are “restricted securities” in that the Company’s sale of the shares to the Purchaser has not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon an exemption for non-public offerings. In this regard, the Purchaser also understands and agree that:

A. The Purchaser must hold the shares indefinitely, unless any subsequent proposed resale by the Purchaser is registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available (such as Rule 144 or Regulation S) and the Purchaser agrees not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such shares unless in compliance with the Securities Act;

B. the Company is under no obligation to register any subsequent proposed resale of the shares by the Purchaser; and

C. the certificate evidencing the shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the shares unless such transfer is registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

7. The Purchaser is Familiar With Rule 144. The Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act, which in some circumstances permits limited public resales of “restricted securities” like the shares acquired from an issuer in a non-public offering. The Purchaser understands that its ability to sell the shares under Rule 144 in the future is uncertain, and will depend upon, among other things: (i) the availability of certain current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale occurring more than one year after the Purchaser’s purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the shares; and (iii) if the Purchaser is an affiliate of the Company: (A) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker, as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (B) the amount of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated in Rule 144, and (C) timely filing of a notice of proposed sale on Form 144, if applicable.

8. The Purchaser Knows Rule 144 May Never be Available. The Purchaser understands that the requirements of Rule 144 may never be met, and that the shares may never be saleable. The Purchaser further understands that at the time the Purchaser wishes to sell the shares, there may be no public market for the Company’s stock upon which to make such a sale, or the current public information requirements of Rule 144 may not be satisfied, either of which would preclude the Purchaser from selling the shares under Rule 144 even if the one-year minimum holding period had been satisfied.

9. The Purchaser Knows It is Subject to Further Restrictions on Resale. The Purchaser understands that in the event Rule 144 is not available to the Purchaser, any

 

6546706/13

     page 22        


future proposed sale of any of the shares by the Purchaser will not be possible without prior registration under the Securities Act, compliance with some other registration exemption (which may or may not be available), or each of the following: (i) the Purchaser’s written notice to the Company containing detailed information regarding the proposed sale, (ii) the Purchaser providing an opinion of its counsel (in a form satisfactory to the Company (acting reasonably)) to the effect that such sale will not require registration, and (iii) the Company notifying the Purchaser in writing that its counsel concurs in such opinion. The Purchaser understands that neither the Company nor its counsel is obligated to provide the Purchaser with any such opinion. The Purchaser understands that although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has stated that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

10. The Purchaser Knows It May Have Tax Liability Due to the Uncertain Value of the Shares. The Purchaser understands that the Board of Directors believes its valuation of the shares represents a fair appraisal of their worth, but that it remains possible that, with the benefit of hindsight, the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert that the value of the shares on the date of the Purchaser’s purchase is substantially greater than the Board’s appraisal. The Purchaser understands that any additional value ascribed to the shares by such an IRS determination will constitute ordinary income to the Purchaser as of the purchase date, and that any additional taxes and interest due as a result will be the Purchaser’s sole responsibility payable only by the Purchaser, and that the Company need not and will not reimburse the Purchaser for that tax liability. The Purchaser understands that if such additional value represents more than 25% of its gross income for the year in which the value of the shares is taxable, the IRS will have 6 years from the due date for filing the return (or the actual filing date of the return if filed thereafter) within which to assess the Purchaser the additional tax and interest due.

11. Residence. The address of the Purchaser’s principal office is set forth on the signature page below.

By signing below, I acknowledge my agreement with each of the statements contained in this Investment Representation Statement as of the date first set forth above, and my intent for the Company to rely on such statements in issuing the shares to the Purchaser.
