Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 22, 2020, Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a royalty interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Irving Park Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company affiliated with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. (“IPC”), pursuant to which the Company sold to IPC a royalty interest (the “Royalty Interest”) entitling IPC to receive $12,000,000 of future royalties on sales of Mytesi® (crofelemer) and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors (subject to adjustment as provided below, the “Royalty Repayment Amount”) for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 (the “Royalty Interest Transaction”). The Company will use the proceeds to support advancement of research activities associated with its pipeline, including the Company’s lead product candidate, crofelemer for cancer therapy-related diarrhea, and general corporate purposes. Interest will accrue on the Royalty Repayment Amount at a rate of 10% per annum, compounding daily.

 

The Company will be obligated to make minimum royalty payments on a monthly basis beginning on the earlier of (i) December 29, 2022 (i.e., 24 months from the date on which the purchase price for the Royalty Interest was delivered to the Company) and (ii) 30 days following the full satisfaction of the Iliad Royalty Interest (as defined below), but in no event less than 18 months from December 23, 2020 in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $750,000 and (ii) 10% of the Company’s net sales of Mytesi and 10% of worldwide revenues related to upfront licensing fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors, but specifically excluding licensing fees and/or milestone payments that are reimbursements of clinical trial expenses. The Royalty Interest Transaction follows an earlier $6 million royalty financing consummated in October 2020 whereby Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. acquired a royalty interest from the Company (the “Iliad Royalty Interest”) as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 9, 2020.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company is subject to certain covenants, including the obligations of the Company to: (i) timely file all reports required to be filed under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act; (ii) maintain listing of the Company’s common stock on a securities exchange; (iii) avoid trading in the Company’s common stock from being suspended, halted, chilled, frozen or otherwise ceased; (iv) not consummate any sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or any material asset outside the ordinary course of business without IPC’s prior consent unless an acquiring party specifically agrees to assume all rights and obligations associated with the Royalty Interest and, in IPC’s discretion, is capable of fulfilling such obligations, (v) not grant a security or royalty interest in Mytesi for the primary purposes of raising capital without IPC’s prior written consent, (vi) provide Mytesi revenue and net sales information to IPC on a quarterly basis and (vii) other customary covenants and obligations, for which the Company’s failure to comply may be subject to certain liquidated damages, including a right for IPC to increase the Royalty Repayment Amount by 15%. Upon mutual agreement the parties may agree to consummate an additional royalty financing of approximately $6 million on or before June 2021.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Royalty Interest and Purchase Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Royalty Interest and Purchase Agreement, respectively, which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 10.1, respectively, to this report and incorporated by reference herein.

At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Investor to Company, interest shall accrue on the Royalty Repayment Amount beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). Nothing herein shall limit Investor’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.

 

4.                                      Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Company acknowledges that this Interest is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation (except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity) of Company not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Company hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Investor, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Interest.

 

5.                                      Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Interest shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or

 

2


 

not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.

 

6.                                      Payment of Collection Costs. If this Interest is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Interest or to enforce the provisions of this Interest, then Company shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

7.                                      Governing Law; Venue. This Interest shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Interest shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

8.                                      Arbitration of Disputes. By its acceptance of this Interest, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

9.                                      Cancellation. After repayment of the entire Royalty Repayment Amount, this Interest shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.

 

10.                               Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Interest.

 

11.                               Assignments. Company may not assign this Interest without the prior written consent of Investor. This Interest may not be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Investor without the prior written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

12.                               Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Interest and the documents and instruments entered into in connection herewith.

14.                               Liquidated Damages. Investor and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Interest, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Investor and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Interest are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.

 

15.                               Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF INVESTOR AND COMPANY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS INTEREST OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING

 

3


 

UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

 

16.                               Voluntary Agreement. Company has carefully read this Interest and has asked any questions needed for Company to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Interest and fully understand them. Company has had the opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Company’s choosing, or has waived the right to do so, and is executing this Interest voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by Investor or anyone else.

 

17.                               Severability. If any part of this Interest is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Company and Investor to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Interest shall remain in full force and effect.

5.1.                            Investor shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to Company.

 

4


 

5.2.                            Investor shall have delivered the Purchase Price to Company in accordance with Section 1.2 above.

 

6.                                      Conditions to Investor’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of Investor hereunder to purchase the Interest at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:

 

6.1.                            Company shall have executed this Agreement and the Interest and delivered the same to Investor.

 

6.2.                            Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Secretary’s Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B evidencing Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.

7.                                      Audit Right. Company shall keep and maintain current, complete and accurate books and records as are necessary and material to determine its compliance with its payment obligations under the Interest. Such books and records shall be kept and maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Investor or its authorized representative shall have the right to retain an independent certified public accountant of its choosing to audit the books and records of Company, at Investor’s expense, to determine whether Company is in compliance with its payment obligations under the Interest. If an audit reveals that Investor has been underpaid, Company shall immediately pay Investor such underpaid amount plus interest thereon at the rate of 18% per annum, compounding daily, or, if lower, the highest rate allowed by law. If such underpayment exceeds 1% of the amount due, then, without prejudice to Investor’s other rights and remedies, Company shall also pay for the cost of the audit. If the audit reveals that Investor has been overpaid, Investor authorizes Company to offset such overpayment against future royalties. The auditor shall be required to agree to keep confidential all confidential information of Company learned during the course of the audit, except as necessary to report to Investor. Moreover, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not disclose any material non-public information to Investor without Investor’s prior written consent. Any such audit shall be performed only during Company’s normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice, no more frequently than once per calendar quarter, and shall be performed in such a manner as to avoid unreasonable interference with Company’s business operations.

 

8.                                      Additional Royalty Interest Purchase. Upon the mutual consent of Company and Investor, Investor will purchase up to one (1) additional royalty interests from Company on substantially similar terms as the purchase of the Interest. The parties anticipate that Investor will purchase an additional royalty interest with a purchase price of $6,000,000.00 on or before June 2021.

 

9.                                      Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.

 

9.1.                            Certain Capitalized Terms. To the extent any capitalized term used in any Transaction Document is defined in any other Transaction Document (as noted therein), such capitalized term shall remain applicable in the Transaction Document in which it is so used even if the other Transaction

Document (wherein such term is defined) has been released, satisfied, or is otherwise cancelled or terminated.

 

9.2.                            Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all claims, disputes and causes of action (each, a “Claim”) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to rules of the American Arbitration Association. Within seven (7) calendar days of initiation of arbitration by either party, Investor will provide a list of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com) (such five (5) arbitrators, the “Proposed Arbitrators”). Within five (5) calendar days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select by written notice to Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator. If Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company. The arbitrator shall be instructed to complete and shall complete the arbitration within six (6) months of commencement and shall only allow limited discovery on issues directly related to the applicable Claims. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 9.2 (the “Arbitration Provisions”) are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

 

9.3.                            Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action  outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Finally, Company covenants and agrees to name Investor as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Investor in accordance with Section 9.12 below prior to bringing or filing, any action (including without limitation any filing or action against any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement) that is related in any way to the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, and further agrees to timely name Investor as a party to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 9.3 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 9.3 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.

9.4.                            Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage may occur to Investor in the event that Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents.

 

9.5.                            Counterparts. Each Transaction Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

9.6.                            Document Imaging. Investor shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image or make copies of all or any selection of the agreements, instruments, documents, and items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Company’s loans, including, without limitation, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and Investor may destroy or archive the paper originals. The parties hereto (i) waive any right to insist or require that Investor produce paper originals, (ii) agree that such images shall be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals, (iii) agree that Investor is entitled to use such images in lieu of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or other proceedings, and (iv) further agree that any executed facsimile (faxed), scanned, emailed, or other imaged copy of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be of the same force and effect as the original manually executed document.

 

9.7.                            Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

9.8.                            Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

 

9.9.                            Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents.

Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.

 

9.15.                     Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

9.16.                     Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Liquidated Damages. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Investor may deem expedient. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and future share prices, Investor’s increased risk, and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for Investor, among other reasons. Accordingly, any fees, charges, and default interest due under the Interest and the other Transaction Documents are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Company’s and Investor’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act). The parties agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of Investor’s actual damages and not a penalty, and shall not be deemed in any way to limit any other right or remedy Investor may have hereunder, at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is entered into, such liquidated damages are fair and reasonable and are not penalties. All fees, charges, and default interest provided for in the Transaction Documents are agreed to by the parties to be based upon the obligations and the risks assumed by the parties as of the Closing Date and are consistent with investments of this type. The liquidated damages provisions of the Transaction Documents shall not limit or preclude a party from pursuing any other remedy available at law or in equity; provided, however, that the liquidated damages provided for in the Transaction Documents are intended to be in lieu of actual damages.

 

9.17.                     Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event of any arbitration or action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, deposition costs, and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with arbitration or litigation without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and

 

9


 

expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Interest is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Interest or to enforce the provisions of the Interest, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Interest; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.

 

9.18.                     Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.

 

9.19.                     Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

 

9.20.                     Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

9.21.                     Voluntary Agreement. Company has carefully read this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and has asked any questions needed for Company to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and fully understand them. Company has had the opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Company’s choosing, or has waived the right to do so, and is executing this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by Investor or anyone else.

Jaguar Health Reports Voting Results from Special Meeting of Stockholders & Announces December 23rd Investor Webinar

 

All proposals approved

 

Company not implementing a reverse split at this time

 

Swiss Growth Forum hosting investor webinar Wednesday, December 23rd at 10:30 AM Eastern regarding appearance of new coronavirus strain underscoring urgency to seek European conditional approval for crofelemer for ‘long-hauler’ syndrome gastrointestinal distress as strategy pursued in potential merger of Napo EU with the European Post Pandemic Recovery Equity special purpose acquisition company (SPAC)

 

San Francisco, CA (December 22, 2020): Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAGX) (‘‘Jaguar’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) today announced the voting results of Jaguar’s December 9, 2020 Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), which, as previously announced, was adjourned until December 22, 2020.

 

Two proposals were submitted to and approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting. The proposals are described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to the Special Meeting filed with the SEC on November 6, 2020. Stockholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement and other documents filed by Jaguar with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. The proxy statement is also available on the Company’s corporate website.

 

“Although we do not intend to effect a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting common stock at this time, we are grateful to our shareholders for voting to approve the related proposal,” Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s president, and CEO said. “Jaguar’s Board and management are optimistic about the future, and seeking the discretion to implement actions, if necessary to maintain Jaguar’s Nasdaq listing, is an important responsibility of the Board.”

 

As announced last week, Jaguar completed a road show with Swiss Growth Forum, a sponsor of the European special purpose acquisition company, “Post Pandemic Recovery Equity” (“the SPAC”). Napo EU, a subsidiary the Company plans to establish in Europe focusing on development of crofelemer for diarrhea related to ‘long-hauler’ post COVID-19 recovery patient syndrome, is the target of a potential merger with the SPAC, which is targeting investment between 20 million and 50 million euros. Napo EU will have an exclusive license to crofelemer for Europe (excluding Russia), the Company’s novel proprietary drug, and obligations to develop crofelemer for the indications of inflammatory diarrhea and HIV-related diarrhea.

 


 

Swiss Growth Forum is hosting an investor webinar on Wednesday, December 23rd at 10:30 AM Eastern regarding Napo EU and the SPAC. Investors wishing to take part in the webinar are invited to register by clicking here.

 

“With the appearance of a mutated strain of COVID-19 that appears to be more transmissible, the population of post COVID-19 recovery patients suffering from gastrointestinal distress associated with long-hauler syndrome may expand significantly,” said Conte. “In light of this development, we plan to seek conditional marketing authorization from the European Medicines Agency for crofelemer for the proposed indication of prophylaxis and/or symptomatic relief of inflammatory diarrhea.”

About Mytesi®

 

Mytesi (crofelemer) is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Mytesi is not indicated for the treatment of infectious diarrhea. Rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea before starting Mytesi. If infectious etiologies are not considered, there is a risk that patients with infectious etiologies will not receive the appropriate therapy and their disease may worsen. In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions occurring at a rate greater than placebo were upper respiratory tract infection (5.7%), bronchitis (3.9%), cough (3.5%), flatulence (3.1%), and increased bilirubin (3.1%).

 

See full Prescribing Information at Mytesi.com. Crofelemer, the active ingredient in Mytesi, is a botanical (plant-based) drug extracted and purified from the red bark sap of the medicinal Croton lechleri tree in the Amazon rainforest. Napo has established a sustainable harvesting program for crofelemer to ensure a high degree of quality and ecological integrity.

Exhibit 99.2

 

 

Jaguar Health Signs Second Agreement for $6 Million Non-dilutive Financing Transaction Involving the Sale of Royalty Rights Related to Future Mytesi (Crofelemer) and Lechlemer Revenue Stream

 

No royalty payments due for 18-24 months

 

Proceeds will be allocated to support regulatory activities associated with the Company’s development pipeline, including funding the recently initiated pivotal clinical trial for crofelemer (Mytesi®) for cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD), for which patient enrollment is progressing

 

San Francisco, CA (December 23, 2020): Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company has signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) with a secured lender (the “Lender”) for a non-dilutive royalty financing transaction, pursuant to which Jaguar would sell to the Lender for an aggregate purchase price of $6 million (the “Royalty Purchase Price”) a royalty interest entitling the Lender to receive 2.0x the Royalty Purchase Price of future royalties of Mytesi® (crofelemer) and lechlemer and certain up-front license fees and milestone payments from licensees and/or distributors as well as any interest, fees, and charges in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement (the “Royalty Repayment Amount”), and to pay interest on the Royalty Repayment Amount at the rate of ten percent per annum until the same is paid in full.

 

Jaguar intends to use the proceeds to support regulatory activities associated with the Company’s development pipeline, including funding continued patient enrollment for the pivotal Phase 3 trial of crofelemer (Mytesi) for prophylaxis of diarrhea in adult cancer patients receiving targeted therapy (“cancer therapy-related diarrhea” (CTD)), which the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Napo), initiated this past October. This $6 million royalty financing transaction follows an earlier $6 million royalty transaction consummated in October 2020 with an affiliate of the Lender.

 

“We are very pleased to have secured this additional $6 million to fund the pipeline opportunities for Mytesi, a transaction which does not result in any dilution of our shareholders and requires no royalty payments for at least 18 months and potentially as long as 24 months,” Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s president and CEO, commented. “The timing of this transaction aligns well with the progress of the recently initiated pivotal Phase 3 trial for CTD, for which patient enrollment is progressing. The strength in the growth in sales of Mytesi for the current indication of HIV-related diarrhea provides the basis for this important financial opportunity, and we may consider entering into similar agreements in the future and of course business development relationships as additional sources of non-dilutive funding.”

 

Mytesi is a non-opiate, plant-based, chloride ion channel modulating antidiarrheal medicine that is FDA approved for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS receiving antiretroviral therapy. The only oral plant-based prescription medicine approved under FDA Botanical Guidance, Mytesi has a novel mechanism of action that works locally in the gut by gently and effectively modulating and normalizing the flow of water and electrolytes with minimal systemic absorption.
