Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on August 28, 2018, Jaguar Health, Inc. ( the “Company”) entered into an Office Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with CA-Mission Street Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), to extend the Company’s lease for approximately 6,311 square feet of office space located at 201 Mission Street, Suite 2375, San Francisco, California (the “Premises”). Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, the Company was required to deliver to the Landlord a standby, unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit, naming Landlord as beneficiary, as collateral for the full performance by the Company of all of its obligations under the Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with one or more provisions of the Lease.

 

To satisfy the letter of credit requirement in the Lease, Pacific Capital Management, LLC (the “LC Facilitator”), one of the Company’s existing shareholders, caused its financial institution to issue a letter of credit in the amount of $475,000 (the “Landlord Letter of Credit”) on behalf of the Company in favor of Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Landlord Letter of Credit & Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated August 28, 2018, by and between the Company and the LC Facilitator (“Landlord LOC Agreement”). Under the terms of the Landlord LOC Agreement, the Company was required to cause LC Facilitator’s exposure under the Landlord Letter of Credit to be reduced by $122,000 (the “Reduced Exposure Obligation”).  The Company caused its financial institution, Western Alliance Bank (the “Issuing Bank”), to issue a letter of credit in the amount of $122,000 in favor of the letter of credit beneficiary (“LC Beneficiary”), who is the managing member of the LC Facilitator, pursuant to the terms of the Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit No. LC22120-602, dated December 13, 2018 signed by the Issuing Bank (the “LC Beneficiary Letter of Credit”) in order to reduce LC Facilitator’s exposure under the Landlord Letter of Credit.

 

On March 29, 2019, the Company and the LC Beneficiary entered in a letter of credit cancellation and warrant issuance agreement (“LOC Cancellation and Warrant Issuance Agreement’), pursuant to which LC Beneficiary agreed to cancel the LC Beneficiary Letter of Credit and terminate the Company’s Reduced Exposure Obligation in consideration for the Company’s issuance of a 5-year warrant (the “LOC Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) in an amount equal to 75% of the principal amount of Reduced Exposure Obligation divided by the Exercise Price (as defined below).  The exercise price for the LOC Warrant (the “Exercise Price”) is the price per share at which the Company issues Common Stock in its next underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”), provided that if the Company has not consummated a Public Offering by the four-month anniversary of the issuance date of the LOC Warrant, then the exercise price will be equal to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the four-month anniversary of the issuance date of the LOC Warrant, in each case subject to adjustment for reclassification of the Common Stock, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms of the LOC Warrant and the LOC Cancellation and Warrant Issuance Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of LOC Warrant and the LOC Cancellation and Warrant Issuance Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

All of the securities described in this Current Report on Form 8-K were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offering was made to an “accredited investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act).

COMMON STOCK WARRANT

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, JONATHAN GLASER (together with its permitted assignees, the “ Holder ”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the exercise price per share established pursuant to Section 1(a) below (the “Exercise Price” ) commencing on the “ Issue Date ” and until the “Expiration Date” (as defined in Section 9 below) (the “ Exercise Period ”) that number of shares of the fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”) of Jaguar Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) set forth on the signature page hereto (as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.  The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “ Warrant Stock .” This Warrant (the “ Warrant ”) is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Letter of Credit Cancellation & Warrant Issuance Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019 (the “ Agreement ”) by and between the Company and the original Holder hereof.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning therefor set forth in the Agreement. This Warrant shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including but not limited to the investor representations set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement).

 

1.             Exercise Price; Method of Exercise; Payment .

 

(a)           Exercise Price .   “Exercise Price” means, subject to adjustment under Section 3 below, the per share price at which the Company issues Common Stock in the next underwritten public offering that is the subject of a registration statement on Form S-1; provided, however , that if the Company has not consummated such an offering by the four-month anniversary of the Issue Date, then the Exercise Price shall be equal to the Closing Sale Price (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) on the four-month anniversary of the Issue Date.

 

(b)           Cash Exercise . Subject to Sections 9 and 10 hereof and Exhibit B attached hereto, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company, by certified cashier’s or other check

 


1   NTD: The Expiration Date will be the five-year anniversary of the Issue Date.

 


 

acceptable to the Company or wire transfer, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares of Warrant Stock being purchased.

 

(c)           Cashless Exercise .  Subject to Sections 9 and 10 hereof and Exhibit B attached hereto , the Holder may in lieu of a cash exercise, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

A = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the ten (10) trading days ending five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

For purposes of this Warrant, “ Closing Sale Price ” means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the principal trading market of the security, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if the principal trading market of the security begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the last trade price then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City Time, as reported by Bloomberg, Financial Markets, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg Financial Markets, the average of the bid prices and asked prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

 

(d)           Maximum Exercise .  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Holder shall not be permitted to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant, if as a result of such exercise the holder would then become a “ten percent beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 16a-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Common Stock.  For greater certainty, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder or redeemed by the Company, if, after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates, would in aggregate beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Company which is 9.99% or greater of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ”). The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not become effective until the 61 st  day after such notice is delivered to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

2


 

Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, and in addition to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described above, the Company and Holder agree that the total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Holder under this Warrant, together with any shares of Common Stock issued to holders of warrants in the same series of transactions as this Warrant, may not exceed the requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market (including the rules related to the aggregation of offerings under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) if applicable) (the “ Exchange Cap ”), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than the Exchange Cap or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed for quotation on Nasdaq or NYSE American. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.

 

(e)           Stock Certificates .  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired, a new Warrant representing the shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 

2.             Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Stock .  All of the Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance and receipt of the Exercise Price therefor, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, except as may be set forth in the Company’s Bylaws or any contractual agreement to which the Holder or the Warrant Stock may be subject.  During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved for issuance sufficient shares of its Warrant Stock and other stock, securities and property to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

3.             Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares .  Subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3 as follows:

 

(a)           Reclassification .  In case of any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination or dividend or as otherwise as adjusted under this Section 3), the Company shall execute a new Warrant, providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification or change by a holder of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock.  Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3 .  Except for a Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 9), the provisions of this subsection (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes.

 

(b)           Stock Splits and Combinations . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3(b)  shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

3


 

(c)           Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Stock shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Stock shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Stock shares immediately prior to such record date.

 

(d)           Number of Warrant Stock Shares .  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3 , the number of Warrant Stock shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Stock shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

4.             Notice of Adjustments .  Whenever the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder or the Exercise Price thereof shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall provide notice to the holder of this Warrant setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the number of shares of Warrant Stock which may be purchased and the Exercise Price therefor after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

5.             Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder.  In lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based upon the fair market value of the Warrant Stock then in effect as determined by the Company.

 

6.             Restrictions Upon Transfer .

 

(a)           The Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant unless the conditions specified in the legends on the front page hereof are satisfied and the transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, including transferee acknowledging in writing that it meets the investor suitability criteria set forth in this Warrant and Exhibit B attached hereto.  Subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, any transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part (but not less than 25% of the Warrant Stock originally exercisable under this Warrant being transferred), shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, or the office or agency designated by the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto duly executed by Holder and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.

 

(b)           The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 6.

 

7.             Restrictive Legends .

 

(a)           The shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”)) shall be stamped or imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:

In connection with the purchase of the above referenced shares (the “Securities”), the undersigned represents to the Company the following:

 

The undersigned is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities.  The undersigned is purchasing these Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

 

The undersigned understands that offer and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the undersigned’s investment intent as expressed herein.  In this connection, the undersigned understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if this representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

 

The undersigned further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless the offer and sale of the Securities are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available.  Moreover, the undersigned understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the offer and sale of the Securities.  In addition, the undersigned understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless the offer and sale of the Securities are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

 

The undersigned is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires, among other things, the existence of a public market for the Securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sales being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of Securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

The undersigned further understands that in the event that all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than 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.

 

The undersigned hereby ratifies and confirms all of the original Holder’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 14 of the Warrant, including but not limited to that the undersigned is an “Accredited Investor” as set forth in the Warrant and is not a “Bad Actor”  as set forth in the Warrant and if the undersigned is not a United States person as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”)), Holder hereby represents that Holder has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of the Warrant, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained in connection with such purchase, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities.  Holder’s purchase and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Warrant Stock will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Holder’s jurisdiction. Holder acknowledges that no representations or warranties, oral or written, have been made by the Company or any agent thereof in connection with Holder’s exercise of this Warrant.

LETTER OF CREDIT CANCELLATION & WARRANT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

 

THIS LETTER OF CREDIT CANCELLATION & WARRANT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is deemed to be effective as of March 29, 2019 (the “ Effective Date ”), by and among Jaguar Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and the undersigned letter of credit beneficiary identified on the signature page hereto (the “ LC Beneficiary ”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                     On August 28, 2018, the Company entered into an Office Lease Agreement (the “ Lease ”) with CA-Mission Street Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Landlord ”), to extend the Company’s lease for approximately 6,311 square feet of office space located at 201 Mission Street, Suite 2375, San Francisco, California (the “ Premises ”). Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, the Company was required to deliver to the Landlord a standby, unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit, naming Landlord as beneficiary, as collateral for the full performance by the Company of all of its obligations under the Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with one or more provisions of the Lease.

 

B.                                     To satisfy the letter of credit requirement in the Lease, Pacific Capital Management, LLC (the “ LC Facilitator ”), one of the Company’s existing shareholders, caused its financial institution to issue a letter of credit in the amount of $475,000 (the “ Landlord Letter of Credit ”) on behalf of the Company in favor of Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Landlord Letter of Credit & Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated August 28, 2018, by and between the Company and the LC Facilitator (“ Landlord LOC Agreement ”).

 

C.                                     Under the terms of the Landlord LOC Agreement, if the Company did not receive on a consolidated basis at least $5 million of gross proceeds in the aggregate from any source (in the form of debt or equity or debt or equity like instruments or any combination thereof) on, or before, October 1, 2018 (“ Capital Raise Requirement ”), then the Company was required to cause LC Facilitator’s risk exposure under the Landlord Letter of Credit to be reduced by $122,000, whether pursuant to a release of LC Facilitator of such amount under the Landlord Letter of Credit, replacement or modification of the Landlord Letter of Credit in whole or in part, partial replacement or additional collateral in favor of LC Facilitator or otherwise (the “ Reduced Exposure Obligation ”).

 

D.                                     Since the Company did not meet the Capital Raise Requirement, the Company caused its financial institution, Western Alliance Bank (the “ Issuing Bank ”), to issue a letter of credit in the amount of $122,000 in favor of the LC Beneficiary, who is the managing member of the LC Facilitator, pursuant to the terms of the Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit No. LC22120-602, dated December 13, 2018 signed by the Issuing Bank (the “ LC Beneficiary Letter of Credit ”) in order to reduce LC Facilitator’s exposure under the Landlord Letter of Credit.

 

E.                                      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, in consideration of LC Beneficiary’s cancellation of the LC Beneficiary

 


 

Letter of Credit and termination of the Company’s Reduced Exposure Obligation , the Company desires to issue to LC Beneficiary, and LC Beneficiary desires to acquire from the Company, a Warrant in form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Warrant ”), all as more fully set forth in this Agreement in full satisfaction of the Reduced Exposure Obligation and termination of the LC Beneficiary Letter of Credit.
