Item 8.01 — Other Events.

 

On September 6, 2017, Insmed Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Leerink Partners LLC, as managers of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to the offer and sale of 12,281,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share at a price to the public of $28.50 per share. In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below) to purchase up to an additional 1,842,150 shares (together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, which the Underwriters exercised on September 7, 2017. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares, after deducting the underwriting fees and discount and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $377.7 million.

 

The offering is being made pursuant to a base prospectus dated May 19, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of a shelf registration statement that became automatically effective upon filing, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on September 5, 2017, and a final prospectus supplement, dated September 6, 2017 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about September 11, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

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, and termination provisions. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement. The legal opinion of Hunton & Williams LLP relating to the shares being offered is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

 

On September 5, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the offering. On September 6, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the offering. Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are each incorporated herein by reference.

As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein.

2.   Agreements to Sell and Purchase . The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at $26.79 a share (the “ Purchase Price ”).

 

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Shares, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 1,842,150 Additional Shares at the Purchase Price, provided that the Purchase Price per Additional Share shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on the Additional Shares. You may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or, from time to time, in part by giving written notice to the Company not later than 30 days after the date of the Prospectus. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least two business days after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that if an exercise notice is delivered prior to the Closing Date, then the purchase date for such notice shall be the Closing Date.  On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “ Option Closing Date ”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

 

3.   Terms of Public Offering .  The Company is advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable.  The Company is further advised by you that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $28.50 a share (the “ Public Offering Price ”) and to certain dealers selected by you at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $1.026 a share under the Public Offering Price.

The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “ Closing Date .”

 

Payment for any Additional Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Additional Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than the tenth business day thereafter, as shall be designated in writing by you.

7.   Covenants of the Underwriters . Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

 

8.   Indemnity and Contribution .

 

(a)   The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “ road show ”) or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

 

(b)   Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

 

(c)   In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “ indemnified party ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “ indemnifying party ”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses

 

18



 

of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii)  the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Managers, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d)   To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent,

 

19



 

knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

 

(e)   The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

 

(f)   The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

 

9.   Termination . The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange), the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market, (b) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (d) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York state authorities or (e) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (e), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 9, the Company will

 

20



 

reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket accountable expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

 

10.   Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters . This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

 

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of such termination, the Company shall have no liability to any Underwriter (except to the extent provided in Sections 6(j) and 8 hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have failed otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement to purchase the amount of Firm Shares agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder) be under any liability to the Company (except to the extent provided under Sections 6(j) and 8 hereof). In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (a) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (b) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

 

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (unless such failure to comply or inability to perform is due primarily to

 

21



 

any default of any Underwriter), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket accountable expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

 

11.   Entire Agreement .

 

(a)   This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

 

(b)   The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms’ length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

 

12.   Waiver of Jury Trial .  The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

13.   Counterparts . This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of electronic communication), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

 

14.   Applicable Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the state of New York. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York, and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

 

15.   Headings . The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

 

16.  Notices . All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Goldman Sachs & Co.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Leerink Partners LLC, as managers of the Underwriters (as defined below) (the “ Managers ”), propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) with Insmed Incorporated, a Virginia corporation (the “ Company ”), providing for the public offering (the “ Public Offering ”) by the several Underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement (the “ Underwriters ”), of shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”).

 

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Managers on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof through the 60 th  day after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “ Restricted Period ”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”)), by the undersigned or any securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona fide gift or by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession, (b) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security

 

A-1



 

convertible into Common Stock to limited partners, members, stockholders, or wholly-owned subsidiaries of the undersigned, (c) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock pursuant to any order or settlement agreement not involving any public sale of shares of Common Stock or other securities and approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, (d) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; (e) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity of which all of the beneficial ownership interests are held by the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (a)-(e), (i) each donee, distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver to the Managers a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter, (ii) no public announcement or filing by any party (the undersigned, donor, donee, distributor, distributee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, any Section 16(a) filing, shall be required or voluntarily made in connection with such transfer or distribution and (iii) any such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value, or (f) the establishment of a new trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “ 10b5-1 trading plan ”) providing for dispositions or sales of Common Stock; provided that such plan does not permit dispositions or sales of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock during the Restricted Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, (g)  transfers of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan entered into prior to the date of this agreement; provided that to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act is required for such transfer, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that the transfer was made pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan, (h) the exercise of options or other stock-based awards to purchase Common Stock or vesting of restricted stock units or other stock-based awards outstanding as of the date hereof or granted under equity incentive plans or pursuant to inducement awards in effect as of the date hereof or described in the registration statement with respect to the Public Offering; provided that the underlying Common Stock continues to be subject to the terms of this agreement, (i) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to holders of the Common Stock involving a change of control of the Company; provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed during the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained herein during such period, (j) the repurchase or forfeiture of securities by the Company in connection with termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company; and (k) the settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock units, options or other stock-based awards on a “net” basis or any other withholding of shares of Common Stock by the Company upon vesting and/or settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock units, options or other stock-based awards; provided that (x) the underlying shares of Common Stock received by the undersigned shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this agreement and (y) any such settled or withheld shares are surrendered to the Company in the net exercise; provided further, in each case (a) through (f) and (h) through (k), that the undersigned shall provide you two days’ advance notice of such transfers, distributions, plan establishments, exercises, repurchases, forfeitures, settlements or withholdings, as applicable.

 

A-2



 

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Managers on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

 

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters. If (i) the closing of the Public Offering has not occurred prior to October 15, 2017, (ii) the Company notifies you in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Public Offering, (iii) the registration statement filed with respect to the Public Offering is withdrawn or (iv) for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), this agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

 

In the event that either of the Managers withdraws from or declines to participate in the Public Offering, all references to the Managers contained in this agreement shall be deemed to refer to the sole Manager that continues to participate in the Public Offering (the “ Sole  Manager ”), and, in such event, any written consent, waiver or notice given or delivered in connection with this agreement by the Sole Manager shall be deemed to be sufficient and effective for all purposes under this agreement.

 

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Insmed Announces Proposed Public Offering of Common Stock

 

BRIDGEWATER, NJ, September 5, 2017 — Insmed Incorporated (Nasdaq: INSM) announced today that it has commenced an underwritten public offering of $250 million of shares of its common stock. All of the shares of common stock in the offering would be sold by Insmed.  In addition, Insmed intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15 percent of the shares of common stock offered in the public offering at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount.  The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.

 

Insmed intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund ongoing and future clinical development of amikacin liposome inhalation suspension (ALIS) for patients with treatment refractory nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and its efforts to obtain potential regulatory approvals and, if approved, commercialize ALIS in its approved indication; invest in increased third-party manufacturing capacity for and commercial inventory production of ALIS in anticipation of possible commercial launch, initially in the United States and subsequently in Japan and other countries; fund further clinical development of INS1007, a novel oral reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1; and fund working capital, potential debt repayment, capital expenditures, general research and development, and for other general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition or in-license of additional compounds, product candidates, technology or businesses.

 

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Leerink Partners LLC are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Evercore Group L.L.C. is acting as a passive bookrunner. Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated is acting as co-lead.

 

A shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the public offering of the shares of common stock described above has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and became automatically effective upon filing.  A preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus related to this offering may be obtained, when available, from (1) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC at Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282, by telephone at 1-866-471-2526, by facsimile at 212-902-9316 or by email at prospectus-ny@ny.email.gs.com, or (2) Leerink Partners LLC at Attention: Syndicate Department, One Federal Street, 37th Floor, Boston, MA 02110, by telephone at (800) 808-7525 extension 6132 or by email at syndicate@leerink.com.

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
