Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Fosun International Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary (Fosun) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 7,090,581 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 1,418,116 shares of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $59.1 million (the Offering). The purchase price for each share was $8.31, equal to the closing price of the Companys common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on February 23, 2018. The exercise price of the warrants is $8.31 per share, and the purchase price for the warrants was $0.125 per underlying share (subject to adjustment in connection with customary anti-dilution provisions). The warrants will be exercisable at any time during their term and expire seven years from the date of sale. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or about March 2, 2018.
The Offering was made pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Companys effective shelf registration statements on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-217416 and Registration No. 333-215815). With this transaction, Fosun will increase its ownership of the Company from approximately 9.9% to 18.4% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the closing of the transaction (without giving effect to the warrants). Fosun has the right to request a designee to be appointed to the Companys Board of Directors but has not exercised this right to date.
The Purchase Agreement contains lockup provisions restricting Fosun from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of the purchased securities for a period of 180 days after the closing, subject to certain exceptions. Fosun is also subject to standstill provisions restricting it from acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 25% of the Companys then-outstanding shares of common stock, entering into business combinations with the Company, engaging in proxy solicitations or taking certain other actions with respect to the Company and its stockholders for a period of one year after the closing. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Fosun. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to register the resale of the shares purchased by Fosun, the shares underlying the warrants, and any shares of common stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to such shares pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause this registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 150 days after the closing of the Offering. The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the selling holders under the registration statement from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses (excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees of any selling holder) incident to the Companys obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing description of the transaction is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, the form of the warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as exhibits to this report.

We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (iv) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (v) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vi) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth hereto, we advise you that, in our opinion, (i) when the Shares have been issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) the Warrants, when the Warrants are executed and delivered against payment therefor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, will
be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, provided that we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in the Warrants that requires or relates to adjustments to the exercise price at a price or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture. As of the date hereof, the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and, when issued and delivered upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is not subject to any preemptive or, to our knowledge, other similar rights.
We are members of the Bars of the States of New York and California and the foregoing opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or about March 2, 2018.
ViewRay agreed to sell approximately 7.1 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $59.1 million before deducting offering expenses. The warrants will have a per share exercise price of $8.31 per share, equal to the closing price of the Companys common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on February 23, 2018. The warrants will expire seven years from the date of issuance and will be subject to customary anti-dilution provisions. Proceeds from the offering will be used primarily to support the ongoing commercialization of the MRIdian Linear Accelerator Technology, for research and development related to continued product development activities, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
The offering was made pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Companys effective shelf registration statements.
We are excited to complete this financing, which will enable us to scale up production and to continue investing in sales and marketing to meet the growing demand for the MRIdian Linac, said Chris A. Raanes, president and chief executive officer of ViewRay Inc. This significant investment provides further validation of our belief that MRIdian Linac will lead to a new standard of care in radiation oncology.

Any offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be by means of a prospectus.
