Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 11, 2017, VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc.
(the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement
(the “Underwriting
Agreement”) with
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., as the representative of the several
underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriters”),
relating to the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 10,000,000 shares (the
“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), and warrants
(the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate total of
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Warrant is immediately
exercisable, has an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and will
terminate five years from the date of issuance. Each share of
Common Stock was sold together with a Warrant to purchase one
share of Common Stock, for a combined public offering price of
$1.50 per Share and related Warrant, resulting in gross proceeds to
the Company of $15,000,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement, on December 13, 2017 (the “Closing
Date”) the Company
received net proceeds of approximately $13,600,000, after deducting
the underwriting discount, estimated legal fees and other offering
expenses payable by the Company.
Following
the issuance of the Shares on the Closing Date, the Company now has
21,848,974 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
The
Offering was conducted pursuant to the Company’s effective
registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-221009) and
prospectus dated December 11, 2017.
The
Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to
closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the
Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination
provisions.
Pursuant
to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the
Company, as well as its directors and officers, have each agreed
for a period of 90 days after the Closing Date not to sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities held by
them without first obtaining the written consent of the
Underwriters.
The
foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the
Underwriting Agreement, does not purport to be a complete
description of the rights and obligations of the parties
thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Underwriting Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference
herein.
The
Underwriting Agreement has been attached hereto as an exhibit to
provide investors and security holders with information regarding
its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual
information about the Company. The representations, warranties and
covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only

dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the
Underwriting Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by
confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in
connection with the execution of the Underwriting
Agreement.
