Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 30, 2018, KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Subscription Agreements with affiliates of Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners (“Venrock”) and affiliates of BVF Partners L.P. (“BVF”) (the “Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company issued directly to Venrock and BVF in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 1,778,320 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $8.21 per share. The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting estimated expenses, are expected to be approximately $14.5 million. No underwriter or placement agent participated in the Offering.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), originally filed on March 29, 2017 (File No. 333-217009), as amended on April 27, 2017, which the SEC declared effective on April 28, 2017, and as supplemented by the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on August 1, 2018.

The Company expects to close the Offering on August 2, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Immediately following the closing of the Offering, the Company will have a total of 12,578,215 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
