Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 25, 2017, Savara Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale and issuance of (i) an aggregate of 5,250,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 775,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and will expire seven years from the date of issuance. The offering price to the public of the Shares is $7.85 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $7.379 per share. The offering price to the public of the Pre-Funded Warrants is $7.84 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less the $0.01 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Pre-Funded Warrants from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $7.369 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 787,500 shares of Common Stock at the same price per share as the Shares.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $44.2 million or approximately $50.0 million if the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full.

The Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-202960). A prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed with the SEC. The offering is expected to close on October 27, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and a copy of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
