Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 12, 2018, Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) in connection with the sale of 58.5 Units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $50,000 per Unit. The Units were sold as part of a private placement (the “Private Placement”) consisting of a minimum of 20 Units ($1 million aggregate purchase price) and a maximum of 80 Units ($4 million aggregate purchase price) offered by the Company. Each Unit consists of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price of the common stock in the Units is $0.20 per share and the exercise price of the warrants is $0.40 per share. The Private Placement will terminate upon the earlier of the sale of 80 Units or April 30, 2018. The Subscription Agreements contain representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

Description of the Warrants

The warrants in each Unit consist of Series A Warrants to purchase up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series B Warrants”; collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Per the terms of the Warrants, the exercise price will be payable in cash and there are no cashless exercise provisions. The Series A Warrants are immediately exercisable following the final closing and for two years thereafter, and the Series B Warrants are exercisable following shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount sufficient for the full exercise of the Series B Warrants (the “Stock Authorization”) and for two years thereafter. If the Stock Authorization is not obtained by June 30, 2018, the Series B Warrants will be exercisable for an additional two years.

The Warrants contain limitations that prevent a holder from acquiring shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of a Warrant that would result in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. In addition, upon certain reorganizations of the Company, the Warrants may become exercisable for securities in a successor entity equal to the value of the Warrants. The Warrants also contain representations, warranties and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the final closing of the Private Placement, the Company and the Investors will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Per the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Private Placement and shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days after the final closing date of the Private Placement. The Company agreed to cause this registration statement on Form S-1 to be declared effective within 90 days of the final closing date of the Private Placement (120 days if the registration statement is selected for review by the SEC), subject to any resale limitation imposed by the SEC. The Registration Rights Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

Placement Agent Agreement

On February 7, 2018, the Company entered into an engagement letter agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Divine Capital Markets LLC (“Divine”) whereby Divine agreed to act as placement agent for the Company on a “best efforts basis” in connection with the Private Placement. Per the terms of the Engagement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Divine a fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement and agreed to issue to Divine a warrant to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold to the Investors at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The Company also agreed to pay Divine a 3% non-refundable expense allowance. The Engagement Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

The Company estimates that its net proceeds from the Subscription Agreements entered into on April 12, 2018 were approximately $2.4 million, after deducting placement agent commissions and estimated offering expenses. If the maximum number of Units are sold by April 30, 2018, the Company estimates that its net proceeds from the Private Placement will be approximately $3.4 million, after deducting placement agent commissions and estimated offering expenses.

The securities issued in the Private Placement were issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules promulgated thereunder and pursuant to applicable state securities laws and regulations.

The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreements, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Engagement Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Form of Subscription Agreement, Form of Series A Warrant, Form of Series B Warrant, Form of Registration Rights Agreement and Engagement Agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 4.2, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, of this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 4.1

Warrant – No.: [ ]

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT.

MATEON THERAPEUTICS, INC.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE A WARRANT

[ ]

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE A WARRANT (this “ Warrant ”) of Mateon Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Delaware (the “ Company ”), is issued to the Holder (as defined below) as part of a unit purchased by the Holder from the Company pursuant to which the Holder is also purchasing shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), from the Company (the “ Offering ”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby certifies that the registered holder hereof, [●] , with an address at [●], and the Holder’s successors and assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company [●] duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price equal to $0.40 per share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth herein (the “ Warrant Price ”). The Holder is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfer of the Warrant (the “ Warrant Register ”) and is the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes, except as described in Section  13 hereof.

1.     Warrant Exercise . This Warrant shall become exercisable on the date hereof.

2.     Expiration of Warrant . This Warrant shall expire on the date that is two years after the initial closing date of the Offering/ (the “ Expiration Date ”).

3.     Exercise of Warrant . This Warrant shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section  1 and this Section  3 hereof.

3.1     Manner of Exercise . This Warrant may only be exercised by the Holder hereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, in whole or in part with respect to any portion of this Warrant, into shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”), during normal business hours on any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized by law to be closed (a “ Business Day ”) on or prior to the Expiration Date with respect to such portion of this Warrant, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section  12.2(a) hereof, accompanied by an exercise notice (the “ Exercise Notice ”) in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder, together with the payment of the Warrant Price.


Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the Holder’s affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other of the Company’s securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “ Ownership Limitation ”). Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”), and Regulations 13D - G thereunder; provided , further , that the limitations on exercise may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the exercise limitation shall continue to apply until such 61 st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

3.2     When Exercise Effective . Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section  3.1 hereof, and, at such time, the corporation, association, partnership, organization, business, individual, government or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency (a “ Person ” or the “ Persons ”) in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise as provided in Section  3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.

3.3     Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise . Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice by the date that is three Business Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, (B) surrender of this Warrant and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares via the DWAC system or a certificate, or certificates, subject to an Exercise Notice by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or the Holder rescinds such exercise.


3.4     Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section  3.3 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

3.5     Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date as provided in Section  3.3 above, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.6     Partial Exercise . In case exercise is in part only, a new Warrant of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares designated by the Holder upon exercise as provided in Section  3.1 hereof (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof).

3.7     Company to Reaffirm Obligations . The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant and upon the written request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights (including without limitation any rights to registration of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise) to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant; provided , however , that if the Holder shall fail to make a request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford the rights to such Holder.


4.     Warrant Adjustments .

The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment with respect to events after the date hereof as follows:

(a)     Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock . Except as provided in Subsection 4(c) below, if the Company shall (i) declare a dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that if this Warrant is thereafter exercised, the Holder may receive the number and kind of shares which it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or reclassification. If after an adjustment the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith, shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the Warrant Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section  4 .

(b)     Number of Shares . Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsection 4(a) above, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.

(c)     Transactions Not Requiring Adjustments . No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Subsection 4(a) if the Holder is permitted to participate in the transaction on a basis no less favorable than any other party and at a level which would preserve the Holder’s percentage equity participation in the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.

(d)     Action to Permit Valid Issuance of Common Stock . Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price.


(e)     Minimum Adjustment . No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.05; provided , however , that any adjustments, which by reason of this Subsection 4 (e) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section  4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Subsection 4(e) , as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

(f)     Referral of Adjustment . In any case in which this Section  4 shall require that an adjustment in the Warrant Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event (the “Exercise Event”), if this Warrant shall have been exercised after such record date, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Exercise Event issuing to the Holder the shares, if any, issuable upon the Exercise Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided , however , that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’ right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the Exercise Event.

(g)     Number of Shares . Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsection 4(a) ,this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.

(h)     Notice of Adjustments . Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice of the adjustment together with a certificate from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer briefly stating (i) the facts requiring the adjustment, (ii) the adjusted Warrant Price and the manner of computing it, and (iii) the date on which such adjustment becomes effective. The certificate shall be prima facia evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.

(i)     Reorganization of Company . If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or a transaction in which (i) the Company transfers or leases substantially all of its assets; (ii) the Company reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock; or (iii) the Common Stock is exchanged for securities, cash or other assets, the Person who is the transferee or lessee of such assets or is obligated to deliver such securities, cash or other assets shall assume the terms of this Warrant. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant is an affiliate of the surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in such assumption. The assumption agreement shall provide that the Holder may exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which it would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer, lease or exchange if it had exercised this Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction. The assumption agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for


in this Section  4 . The successor company shall mail to the Holder a notice briefly describing the assumption agreement. If this Subsection 4(i) applies, Subsection 4(a) above does not apply. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event of a reorganization of the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase this Warrant equal to the difference between the exercise price, as adjusted, if any, and the equivalent value of share of Common Stock determined in the Reorganization by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(j)     Dissolution, Liquidation . In the event of the dissolution or total liquidation of the Company, then after the effective date thereof, this Warrant and all rights thereunder shall expire.

(k)     Notices . If (i) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section  4 ; or (ii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder a notice stating the proposed record date for a distribution or effective date of a reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

5.     Fractional Shares . If the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section  4 hereof, the Company shall nevertheless not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares. Instead the Company will issue cash in the amount equal to the fractional share times the Current Market Price calculated to the nearest penny.

6.     Right to Registration . The Holder has the right to require the Company to register the Warrant Shares under the Act in accordance with the terms of an agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Holders. The date on which the first Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission is herein referred to as the “Effective Date.”

7.     No Dilution or Impairment .

7.1     Actions to Permit Issuance of Warrant Shares . The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the terms and in the taking of all actions necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants to exceed the amount payable therefor upon exercise, (b) will take all actions necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants, and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon exercise.


7.2     Acknowledgement of Company’s Obligations . The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon it and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders.

8.     Chief Financial Officer’s Report as to Adjustments . In the case of any adjustment or re-adjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly compute the adjustment or re-adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and cause its Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer to certify the computation (other than any computation of the fair value of property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) and prepare a report setting forth the adjustment or re-adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which the adjustment or re-adjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding and (b) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the deemed issuance or sale and as adjusted and re-adjusted (if required by Section  4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each report to the Holder and will, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to the Holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all reports at its office maintained pursuant to Section  12.2(a) hereof and will cause them to be available for inspection at the office during normal business hours upon reasonable notice by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrants designated by the Holder.

9.     Reservation of Shares . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof and not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise thereof, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed.

10.     Listing . The Company shall at all times comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of each national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed and shall list the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants on such national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, if any, it being understood that the Company’s Common Stock is currently traded on the OTCQX and the Company has no current plans to list its securities on any other exchange.


11.     Investment Representations: Restrictions on Transfer .

11.1     Investment Representations . The Holder acknowledge that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been and, except as otherwise provided herein, will not be registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and that the transferability thereof is restricted by the registration provisions of the Act as well as such state laws. The Holder represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of such securities for any particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring or disposing of them upon full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act, the Exchange Act, the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws. The Holder further understands and agrees that (i) neither the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws or, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such registration and qualification is available; (ii) any routine sales of the Company’s securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Act, can be effected only pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Rule, including applicable holding periods and timely filing requirements with the Commission for the Company; and (iii) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the Warrants or the Warrant Shares on its behalf or to assist it in complying with any exemption from registration under the Act. The Holder agrees that each certificate representing any Warrant Shares for which the Warrants may be exercised will bear on its face a legend in substantially the following form:

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualified under any state securities laws. They may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under that Act or qualification under applicable state securities laws without an opinion counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration and qualification are not required.

11.2     Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinion of Counsel . Prior to any transfer of any securities that are not registered under an effective registration statement under the Act (“ Restricted Securities ”), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to effect a transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section  11.2 . Each notice (a) shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, and (b) shall designate counsel for the Holder giving the notice (who may be in-house counsel for the Holder). The Holder giving notice will submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in the notice. The following provisions shall then apply:

(i)    If in the opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company the proposed transfer ( i.e. private sale of Restricted Securities) may be effected without registration of Restricted Securities under the Act (which


opinion shall state the bases for the legal conclusions reached therein), the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate representing the Restricted Securities issued upon or in connection with any transfer shall bear the restrictive legends required by Section  11.1 hereof.

(ii)    If the opinion called for in (i) above is not delivered, the Holder shall not be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities until either (x) receipt by the Company of a further notice from such Holder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section  11.2 and fulfillment of the provisions of clause (i) above, or (y) such Restricted Securities have been effectively registered under the Act.

11.3     Termination of Restrictions . The restrictions imposed by this Section  11 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities: (a) which Restricted Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Act, or (b) when, in the opinions of both counsel for the holder thereof and counsel for the Company, which opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, such restrictions are no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Act or Section  11 hereof. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by Section  11.1 hereof.

12.     Ownership, Transfer and Substitution of Warrant .

12.1     Ownership of Warrant . The Company may treat the Holder, in whose name this Warrant is registered to in the Warrant Register maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(b) hereof, as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly assigned by a notice in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit B (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the holder thereof in blank, the Company shall treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Subject to Section  11 hereof, this Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first having been issued.

12.2     Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrant .

(a)    The Company will maintain an office (which may be an agency maintained at a bank) at 701 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 210, South San Francisco, California 94080 (until the Company notifies the Holder of any change of location of the office) where notices, presentations and demands in respect of the may be made upon it.

(b)    The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof a Warrant Register for the registration and transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of holders of the Warrants, the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of the Warrants shall be registered in such Warrant Register. The Person in whose name any Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes of such Warrant, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.


(c)    Upon the surrender of a Warrant, properly endorsed, for registration of transfer or for exchange at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof, the Company at its expense will (subject to compliance with Section  11 hereof, if applicable) execute and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of the Warrant so surrendered.

12.3     Replacement of Warrant . Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of a Warrant, upon delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount or, in the case of any mutilation, upon surrender of a Warrant for cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.

13.     No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder . Except as may otherwise be provided herein, no Holder shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of any shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until such Holder’s Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. The Holder will not be entitled to share in the assets of the Company in the event of liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of the Company.

14.     Notices . Any notice or other communication in connection with this Warrant shall be deemed to be given if in writing addressed as hereinafter provided and actually delivered at such address: (a) if to any Holder, at the registered address of such holder as set forth in the Warrant Register kept at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof, or (b) if to the Company, to the attention of its Chief Financial Officer at its office maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof; provided , however , that the exercise of any Warrant shall be effective in the manner provided in Section  3 hereof.

15.     Payment of Taxes . The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificate for shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant in a name other that of the Holder. The Holder is responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant upon exercise hereof.


16.     Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under for the Warrants. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

17.     Miscellaneous . This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Warrant maybe brought in a federal or state court of record located in the County, and State of New York, and the Holder and the Company each agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court and waives any objection which either may have, based on improper venue or forum non conveniens , to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all such service of process be made by mail or messenger directed to it at the address referred to in Section  14 above and that service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon the earlier of actual receipt or five days after the same shall have been posted to its address. The section headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience only and shall not constitute a part hereof. The use herein of the masculine pronouns or similar terms shall be deemed to include the feminine and neuter genders as well and vice versa and the use of the singular pronouns shall be deemed to include the plural as well and vice versa.

Warrant – No.: [ ]

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT.

MATEON THERAPEUTICS, INC.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE B WARRANT

[ ], 2018

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE B WARRANT (this “Warrant”) of Mateon Therapeutics, Inc., a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), is issued to the Holder (as defined below) as part of a unit purchased by the Holder from the Company pursuant to which the Holder is also purchasing shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), from the Company.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby certifies that the registered holder hereof, [●], with an address at [●], and the Holder’s successors and assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company [●] duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at a purchase price equal to $0.40 per share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth herein (the “Warrant Price”). The Holder is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfer of the Warrant (the “Warrant Register”) and is the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes, except as described in Section 12 hereof.

1.    Warrant Exercise. This Warrant shall become exercisable immediately following the Company’s shareholder approval of an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock sufficient to cover the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all of the B Warrants (the “Stock Authorization”). The Company is obligated to effect the Stock Authorization no later than June 30, 2018 (the “Authorization Date”).

2.    Expiration of Warrant. This Warrant shall expire on the date that is two years after the Stock Authorization is effected (the “Expiration Date”). In the event that the Company fails to effect the Stock Authorization by the Authorization Date the Expiration Date will be extended for two additional years.

3.    Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 1 and this Section 3 hereof.


Common Stock Purchase B

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

3.1 Manner of Exercise. This Warrant may only be exercised by the Holder hereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, in whole or in part with respect to any portion of this Warrant, into shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), during normal business hours on any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized by law to be closed (a “Business Day”) on or prior to the Expiration Date with respect to such portion of this Warrant, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof, accompanied by an exercise notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the Holder, together with the payment of the Warrant Price.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the Holder’s affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other of the Company’s securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”). Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D - G thereunder; provided , further , that the limitations on exercise may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the exercise limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

3.2    When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and, at such time, the corporation, association, partnership, organization, business, individual, government or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency (a “Person” or the “Persons”) in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.

3.3    Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

by the date that is three Business Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, (B) surrender of this Warrant and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares via the DWAC system or a certificate, or certificates, subject to an Exercise Notice by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or the Holder rescinds such exercise.

3.4    Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

3.5    Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder via the DWAC system or a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date as provided in Section 3.3 above, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3.6    Partial Exercise. In case exercise is in part only, a new Warrant of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares designated by the Holder upon exercise as provided in Section 3.1 hereof (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof).

Common Stock Purchase B

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

3.7    Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant and upon the written request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to the Holder all rights (including without limitation any rights to registration of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise) to which the Holder shall continue to be entitled after exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant; provided , however , that if the Holder shall fail to make a request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford the rights to such Holder.

4. Warrant Adjustments.

The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment with respect to events after the date hereof as follows:

(a)    Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. Except as provided in Subsection 4(c) below, if the Company shall (i) declare a dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that if this Warrant is thereafter exercised, the Holder may receive the number and kind of shares which it would have owned immediately following such action if it had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an event shall occur. The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or reclassification. If after an adjustment the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, in good faith, shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the Warrant Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 4.

(b)    Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsection 4(a) above, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest one- hundredth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.

(c)    Transactions Not Requiring Adjustments. No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Subsection 4(a) if the Holder is permitted to participate in the transaction on a basis no less favorable than any other party and at a level which would preserve the Holder’s percentage equity participation in the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.

Common Stock Purchase B

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

(d)    Action to Permit Valid Issuance of Common Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price.

(e)    Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required if such adjustment is less than $0.05; provided , however , that any adjustments, which by reason of this Subsection 4 (e) are not required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Subsection 4(e), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

(f)    Referral of Adjustment. In any case in which this Section 4 shall require that an adjustment in the Warrant Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event (the “Exercise Event”), if this Warrant shall have been exercised after such record date, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the Exercise Event issuing to the Holder the shares, if any, issuable upon the Exercise Event over and above the shares, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided , however , that the Company shall deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’ right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the Exercise Event.

(g)    Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price as a result of the calculations made in Subsection 4(a), this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Warrant Price, that number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to adjustment of the number of shares by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price.

(h)    Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice of the adjustment together with a certificate from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer briefly stating (i) the facts requiring the adjustment, (ii) the adjusted Warrant Price and the manner of computing it, and (iii) the date on which such adjustment becomes effective. The certificate shall be prima facia evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.

(i)    Reorganization of Company. If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or a transaction in which (i) the Company transfers or leases substantially all of its assets; (ii) the Company reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock; or (iii) the Common Stock is exchanged for securities, cash or other assets, the Person who is the transferee or lessee of such assets or is obligated to deliver such securities, cash or other assets shall assume the terms of this Warrant. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant is an affiliate of the surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in such assumption. The

 

5


Common Stock Purchase B

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

assumption agreement shall provide that the Holder may exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which it would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer, lease or exchange if it had exercised this Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction. The assumption agreement shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The successor company shall mail to the Holder a notice briefly describing the assumption agreement. If this Subsection 4(i) applies, Subsection 4(a) above does not apply. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event of a reorganization of the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase this Warrant equal to the difference between the exercise price, as adjusted, if any, and the equivalent value of share of Common Stock determined in the Reorganization by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(j)    Dissolution, Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or total liquidation of the Company, then after the effective date thereof, this Warrant and all rights thereunder shall expire.

(k)    Notices. If (i) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4; or (ii) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder a notice stating the proposed record date for a distribution or effective date of a reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such date. Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

5.    Fractional Shares. If the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall nevertheless not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional shares. Instead the Company will issue cash in the amount equal to the fractional share times the Current Market Price calculated to the nearest penny.

6.    Right to Registration. The Holder has the right to require the Company to register the Warrant Shares under the Act in accordance with the terms of an agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Holders. The date on which the first Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the Commission is herein referred to as the “Effective Date.”

7. No Dilution or Impairment.

7.1    Actions to Permit Issuance of Warrant Shares. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the terms and in the taking of all actions necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants to exceed the amount payable therefor upon exercise, (b) will take all actions necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants, and (c) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon exercise.

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

7.2    Acknowledgement of Company’s Obligations. The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon it and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders.

8.    Chief Financial Officer’s Report as to Adjustments. In the case of any adjustment or re-adjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly compute the adjustment or re-adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and cause its Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer to certify the computation (other than any computation of the fair value of property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) and prepare a report setting forth the adjustment or re-adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which the adjustment or re-adjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding and (b) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the deemed issuance or sale and as adjusted and re-adjusted (if required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each report to the Holder and will, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to the Holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all reports at its office maintained pursuant to Section 12.2(a) hereof and will cause them to be available for inspection at the office during normal business hours upon reasonable notice by the Holder or any prospective purchaser of the Warrants designated by the Holder.

9.    Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof and not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise thereof, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrants, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise, shall be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company are then listed.

10.    Listing. The Company shall at all times comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of each national

11.    Investment Representations: Restrictions on Transfer.

11.1    Investment Representations. The Holder acknowledge that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been and, except as otherwise provided herein, will not be registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and that the transferability thereof is restricted by the registration provisions of the Act as well as such state laws. The Holder represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part of such securities for any particular event or circumstance, except selling, transferring or disposing of them upon full compliance with all applicable provisions of the Act, the Exchange Act, the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws. The Holder further understands and agrees that (i) neither the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws or, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such registration and qualification is available; (ii) any routine sales of the Company’s securities made in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Act, can be effected only pursuant to the terms and conditions of that Rule, including applicable holding periods and timely filing requirements with the Commission for the Company; and (iii) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the Warrants or the Warrant Shares on its behalf or to assist it in complying with any exemption from registration under the Act. The Holder agrees that each certificate representing any Warrant Shares for which the Warrants may be exercised will bear on its face a legend in substantially the following form:

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualified under any state securities laws. They may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under that Act or qualification under applicable state securities laws without an opinion counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration and qualification are not required.

11.2    Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinion of Counsel. Prior to any transfer of any securities that are not registered under an effective registration statement under the Act (“Restricted Securities”), the Holder will give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to effect a transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section 11.2. Each notice (a) shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, and (b) shall designate counsel for the Holder giving the notice (who may be in-house counsel for the Holder). The Holder giving notice will submit a copy thereof to the counsel designated in the notice. The following provisions shall then apply:

(i) If in the opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company the proposed transfer ( i.e. private sale of Restricted Securities) may be effected without registration of Restricted Securities under the Act (which opinion shall state the bases for the legal conclusions reached therein), the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Each certificate representing the Restricted Securities issued upon or in connection with any transfer shall bear the restrictive legends required by Section 11.1 hereof.

Warrant Issued by Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

 

(ii) If the opinion called for in (i) above is not delivered, the Holder shall not be entitled to transfer the Restricted Securities until either (x) receipt by the Company of a further notice from such Holder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2 and fulfillment of the provisions of clause (i) above, or (y) such Restricted Securities have been effectively registered under the Act.

11.3    Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions imposed by this Section 11 upon the transferability of Restricted Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities: (a) which Restricted Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Act, or (b) when, in the opinions of both counsel for the holder thereof and counsel for the Company, which opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, such restrictions are no longer required in order to insure compliance with the Act or Section 11 hereof. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any), new securities of like tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by Section 11.1 hereof.

12.    Ownership, Transfer and Substitution of Warrant.

12.1    Ownership of Warrant. The Company may treat the Holder, in whose name this Warrant is registered to in the Warrant Register maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(b) hereof, as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly assigned by a notice in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit B (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by the holder thereof in blank, the Company shall treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Subject to Section 11 hereof, this Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first having been issued.

12.2 Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrant.

(a)    The Company will maintain an office (which may be an agency maintained at a bank) at 701 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 210, South San Francisco, California 94080 (until the Company notifies the Holder of any change of location of the office) where notices, presentations and demands in respect of the may be made upon it.

(b)    The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof a Warrant Register for the registration and transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of holders of the Warrants, the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of the Warrants shall be registered in such Warrant Register. The Person in whose name any Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes of such Warrant, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.

The Holder will not be entitled to share in the assets of the Company in the event of liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of the Company.

14.    Notices. Any notice or other communication in connection with this Warrant shall be deemed to be given if in writing addressed as hereinafter provided and actually delivered at such address: (a) if to any Holder, at the registered address of such holder as set forth in the Warrant Register kept at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof, or (b) if to the Company, to the attention of its Chief Financial Officer at its office maintained pursuant to Subsection 12.2(a) hereof; provided , however , that the exercise of any Warrant shall be effective in the manner provided in Section 3 hereof.

Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

17.    Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Warrant maybe brought in a federal or state court of record located in the County, and State of New York, and the Holder and the Company each agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court and waives any objection which either may have, based on improper venue or forum non conveniens , to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all such service of process be made by mail or messenger directed to it at the address referred to in Section 14 above and that service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon the earlier of actual receipt or five days after the same shall have been posted to its address.

Re: Subscription to Purchase Units

of Mateon Therapeutics, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “ Subscription Agreement ”) is being delivered to the purchaser identified on the signature page to this Agreement (the “ Undersigned ” or “ Subscriber ”) in connection with its investment in the securities of Mateon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”). The Company is conducting a private placement (the “ Offering ”) of a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 80 Units, each of which consists of 250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and warrants (the “ A Warrants ”) to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share and warrants (the “ B Warrants ”) to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share (collectively, the “ Warrants ”), at $50,000 per Unit (a “ Unit ”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Securities” shall refer to the Units, the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Underlying Shares”).

This will acknowledge that the Subscriber hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase from the Company ___ unit(s) (the “ Units ”) set forth in the Subscription Signature Section below in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement and Investment Letter (the “ Subscription Agreement ”) and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated March 2, 2018, including Appendixes attached thereto (the “ Memorandum ”).

1.     Terms of the Offering .

The Offering is being made on a “best efforts, all or none” basis with respect to the first thirty Units, and, thereafter, on a “best efforts only” basis until the remaining 45 Units are sold, the Company terminates the Offering, which it can do in its complete discretion at any time, or the Offering Period, as hereinafter defined, expires, whichever occurs first (the “ Termination Date ”). Unless at least twenty Units (the “Minimum”) are sold on or before March 15, 2018, or April 15, 2018 if extended by the Company and the Placement Agent (the “ Offering Period ”) and paid for with collected funds received in escrow as noted in the next succeeding paragraph within two Business Days thereafter, the Offering will terminate and all funds collected from subscribers will


be promptly returned to them without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. A “Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day that shall be a federal legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close. Persons affiliated and/or otherwise related to the Company may purchase Units in the Offering and the Units purchased by them will be included in the number of Units needed to satisfy the Minimum. The Placement Agent and persons affiliated with it also may purchase Units in the Offering but the Units purchased by them will not be included in the number of Units needed to satisfy the Minimum.

Because the Minimum of twenty Units must be sold in order to make the Offering effective, all funds received will be held in escrow with JP Morgan Chase Bank (the “ Escrow Agent ”). No funds will be remitted to the Company until at least thirty Units have been sold and paid for. Thereafter, funds will continue to be held in escrow and released to the Company at each subsequent closing, which shall be at the discretion of the Company and the Placement Agent and which shall occur on the earlier of March 15, 2018, which date may be extended to April 15, 2018, by agreement between the Company and the Placement Agent, or when all 80 Units on an accumulative basis have been sold and paid for (each a “ Closing ” and, collectively, the “ Closings ”) against delivery of the appropriate number of subscribed Units. Each Closing of the purchase and sale of the Units following acceptance by the Company of subscriptions, as evidenced by the Company’s execution of the applicable Subscription Agreements, shall take place at the Placement Agent’s offices, or such other place as the Placement Agent and the Company shall determine, on such date as the Placement Agent and the Company shall determine. The date on which a Closing is consummated is the “ Closing Date .”

The Offering is being made only to “accredited investors” as defined under Regulation D under the Securities Act. It is being conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and applicable Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, including Rule 506 (b) of Regulation D. Section 4(a)(2) requires, among other things, that each purchaser acquire the Units, and Common Stock and the Warrants which are a part thereof, and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (collectively, the “ Underlying Securities ”) with investment intent and not with a view to distribution. The Units being offered hereby and the Underlying Securities will be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and may not be resold publicly except in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated thereunder or unless subsequently registered.

Although the Common Stock is traded on the OTCQX Marketplace under the symbol “MATN,” there is no public market for the Units or the Warrants and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for them will ever develop.

As set forth above, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Commission covering the Underlying Securities, but cannot assure that such a filing will be made or, if it is, that it will be declared effective by the Commission. In the event, however, that the registration statement is declared effective, the Company cannot assure that the Underlying Securities will be readily tradable.

ACCORDINGLY, THE UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EVEN AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THE RESALE

 

2


RESTRICTION PERIODS ON THE UNITS AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES, AND/OR THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED, SHE/HE MAY BE UNABLE TO RESELL THESE SECURITIES FOR A SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME, IF EVER.

Execution of this Subscription Agreement shall constitute an offer by the Undersigned to purchase the number of Units set forth in the Subscription Signature Section below on the terms specified herein. If the Undersigned’s offer is accepted, the Company will execute a copy of the Signature Section and return it to the Undersigned.

2.     The Placement Agent .

The Placement Agent, a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“ FINRA ”), is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in placing this Offering. If all of the Units are sold, the Company will receive gross proceeds of $4,000,000 less the expenses of this Offering. Management estimates that these expenses, including the fee and expense allowance payable to the Placement Agent described below, will be approximately $3,380,000

The Placement Agent will receive a fee equal to 10%, legal and other expenses of up to $25,000 and a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the aggregate gross purchase price of the Units sold. The Company will also grant to the Placement Agent, for nominal consideration, a warrant, exercisable over a five year period commencing on the final Closing Date of the Offering, to purchase such number of Units as shall equal 10% of the number of Units sold in the Offering at an exercise price equal to 100% of the Unit offering price, which is equivalent to $0.20 per share.

The undersigned understands that, except as may be required by applicable regulations of FINRA, the Placement Agent has not independently verified the information provided to her/him with respect to the Company. Accordingly, there is no representation by the Placement Agent as to the completeness or accuracy of such information.

3.     Suitability Requirements; Transferability .

An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for those qualified persons who have substantial financial resources and who, alone or together with their purchaser representatives (see the definition below), have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Units. Satisfaction of these suitability standards by a person does not represent a determination by the Company that the Units are a suitable investment for such person. Each person must consult such person’s own professional advisors in order to determine the suitability of the investment. The Company may make or cause to be made such further inquiry and obtain such additional information as it deems appropriate with regard to the suitability of prospective investors.

Because this Offering is being made only to accredited investors, the Undersigned must complete, sign and return a Purchaser Questionnaire to the Company in order to assist it in determining whether the Undersigned is an accredited or sophisticated investor and satisfies the minimum suitability requirements. The form of Purchaser Questionnaire is attached hereto as Appendix D.

 

3


The term “purchaser representative” means any person who satisfies all of the following conditions or who the Company reasonably believes satisfies all of the following conditions:

(a)    she/he is not an affiliate, director, officer or other employee of the Company or beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of the Company’s equity securities, except where the purchaser is:

SUBSCRIPTION SIGNATURE SECTION

MATEON THERAPEUTICS, INC.

MARCH 2, 2018

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT LETTER

The undersigned (the “ Undersigned ” or “ Subscriber ”) hereby purchases ____ Units from Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “ Company ”) pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement dated March 2, 2018 (the “ Subscription Agreement ”) of which this Subscription Signature Section is a part. All terms in this Subscription Signature Section have the meanings defined elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement.

Subscriber Representations .

The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company as follows:

(a)    The Subscriber is acquiring the Units and Underlying Securities for the Subscriber’s own account as principal for investment and not with a view to resale, distribution or fractionalization in whole or in part, and has no current agreement, understanding or arrangement to subdivide, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Units and/or Underlying Securities and understands that there is no public market for the Units or Warrants, and none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future, if ever. She/he does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to the Units and/or Underlying Securities for which she/he is subscribing.

(b)    The Units and Underlying Securities that the Subscriber is purchasing and the Underlying Securities into which the Warrants may be exercised have not been registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and the registration provisions of the Securities Act as well as the qualification provisions of such state laws thereof restrict their transferability. Based upon the representations and agreements being made by her/him herein, the Subscriber acknowledges that the offering and sale of the Units are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and applicable Rules and Regulations adopted thereunder, and that:

1.    the Undersigned’s Units and Underlying Securities cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws or, in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s counsel, an exemption from such registration and/or qualification is available;

2.    Sales or transfers of the Undersigned’s Units and Underlying Securities are further restricted by the provisions of state securities laws;

3.    the Company is under no obligation to assist the Undersigned in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or qualification under any state securities law, or, except as may be provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, to register the Units or Underlying Securities on the Undersigned’s behalf;

 

13


4.    the certificates or other documentation representing the Undersigned’s Underlying Securities will bear, in substance, the following legend:

These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. They may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective Registration Statement under that Act without an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such Registration is not required. ;

5.    the Company will place stop-transfer instructions on its books and with the transfer agent of its securities with respect to the Units and Underlying Securities registered in the name of the Undersigned or beneficially owned by her/him.

The Undersigned further acknowledges that the basis for these exemptions may not be available if, notwithstanding such representations, she/he only intends to hold these securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or until the market price rises or falls and she/he hereby represents and warrants that she/he does not have any such intention.

(c)    The Subscriber: (A) by herself/himself or together with her/his Purchaser Representative, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, business and tax matters that she/he is capable of evaluating the merits of the prospective purchase of the Units and making an investment decision with respect to the Company; (B) has had substantial experience in previous private and public purchases of speculative securities and is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent, or any of their respective affiliates or attorneys with respect to economic, tax or other considerations involved in this investment; and (C) is able to bear the economic risk of this investment ( i . e ., she/he can afford a complete loss of her/his investment). In this regard, her/his overall commitment to investments, which are not readily marketable, is not disproportionate to her/his net worth, and her/his purchase of the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(d)    The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that an investment in the Company is speculative and subject to many risks. In this regard, the Company cannot assure her/him that all of the Units will be sold. Accordingly, the Company’s operations and financial condition will be adversely affected to the extent that less than all of the Units are sold, especially because it currently has no commitment for any financing.

(e)                          (insert name of Purchaser Representative: if none, leave blank) has acted as the Undersigned’s Purchaser Representative for purposes of the private placement exemption under the Securities Act. If the Undersigned has appointed a Purchaser Representative (which term is used herein with the same meaning as given in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D), she/he has been advised by her/his Purchaser Representative as to the merits and risks of an investment in the Company in general and the suitability of the Units as an investment for the Undersigned in particular, and is aware that the Purchaser Representative may be receiving compensation from the Company in connection with the services being performed by such Purchaser Representative for the Undersigned relating to her/his purchase of the Units.

 

14


(f)    The Subscriber has reviewed carefully the definition of “accredited investor” as set forth below, and the particular subparagraph or subparagraphs by which the Undersigned qualifies as such is (are) checked by her/him below.

(g)    The Subscriber has carefully reviewed the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated March 2, 2018 including the Risk Factors section set forth therein and in the SEC Documents

THE UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS THAT, BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTORS SET FORTH IN THE CONFIDENTIAL OFFERING MEMORANDUM AND IN THE SEC DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH IN THE DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS DISCLOSED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL OFFERING MEMORANDUM AND THE SEC DOCUMENTS, IF THE OFFERING IS CONSUMMATED, SHE/HE COULD LOSE HER/HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a 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.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however , that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d)     Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section  5(a)  or 5(b)  is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in

 

9


question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section  5(c) , any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section  5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section  5(d) , no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

6.     Miscellaneous

(a)     Remedies . In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b)     Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c)     Discontinued Disposition . Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section  3(c) , such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

 

10


(d)     Amendments and Waivers . No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder or Holders (as applicable) of no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

Mateon Therapeutics

Attn: Matthew M. Loar, Chief Financial Officer

Dear Matt:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Engagement Letter” or the “Agreement”) is to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Divine Capital Markets LLC (“Divine” or the “Placement Agent”), shall serve as the Placement Agent; in that capacity Divine shall introduce Mateon Therapeutics, Inc . (the “Company”) to one or more investors (each an “Introduced Investor”) in connection with the proposed $3 to $4 million offering (the “Placement” or “Offering”) of securities (“Securities”) of the Company on a “best efforts” basis, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The terms of an Offering and the Securities issued in such Offering shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the purchasers in such Offering (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) and nothing herein enables Divine to bind the Company or any Purchaser; further, the terms and conditions of an Offering and the Securities issued in such Offering shall be subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The materials utilized to offer the Securities shall be referred to as the “Offering Materials.” The date of each of the closings of an Offering shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent’s obligations hereunder are on a reasonable “best efforts” basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by Divine to purchase or to sell the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof. The identities of the Introduced Investors shall be proprietary information of Divine and shall not be divulged to third parties by the Company, nor used by the Company outside the scope of the Placement Agent’s engagement as described herein, other than as required by applicable law and to register their shares with the SEC; provided, however, that nothing in the preceding sentence shall prohibit the Company from communicating with any Purchaser with respect to their investment in the Company.

The subscription proceeds for any Securities sold in the Offering will be deposited in a non-interest bearing escrow account established by the Company and Divine at U.S. Bank, or another mutually acceptable federally chartered bank, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 15c2-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the interpretations relating thereto issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Upon Closing of the Offering, the proceeds will be released upon the joint authorization and direction of the Company and the Placement Agent; notwithstanding the foregoing, Divine will authorize, at the direction of the Company, the release of any and all proceeds attributable to investors who are not

Introduced Investors; upon termination of the Offering without any Closings, the escrow agreement governing the account shall provide that the escrow agent shall promptly return such proceeds, without the payment of interest and without deduction, to the subscribers.

SECTION 1.    COMPENSATION AND OTHER FEES.

(A)    Commission. As compensation for Divine’s services hereunder, Divine shall be entitled to a selling commission in cash equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the gross proceeds from the sale of Securities as a part of the Offering to Introduced Investors consummated at each Closing, which commission will be due and payable upon the receipt by the Company of the net proceeds thereof from the escrow described in the preceding paragraph (each an “Escrow Closing”).

(B)    Warrants. As additional compensation for the Services to be provided by Divine in connection with the Offering, at the relevant Escrow Closing the Company shall issue to Divine or its designees warrants (the “Divine Warrants”) to purchase that number of Securities equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the aggregate number of Securities sold to Introduced Investors in the relevant Closing; in determining the number of Securities for purposes of issuing Divine Warrants, “Securities” shall take into consideration securities underlying any convertible Securities issued in the Offering for which the Company receives cash proceeds on the Closing Date. Divine Warrants shall have an exercise price equal to 100% of the price at which Securities are issued to Investors, and an exercise period of five years. The Divine Warrants shall be issued to Divine contemporaneously with an Escrow Closing and shall contain customary terms, including, without limitation, provisions for cashless exercise, anti-dilution protections in the event of stock splits and similar events, and registration rights consistent with the registration rights granted to the investors in the Offering.

(C)    Non-Accountable Expense. Upon each closing, the Company also shall pay to Divine a Non-Accountable expense reimbursement equal to three percent (3.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its securities to Introduced Investors.

(D)    Divine shall take any and all steps necessary to ensure that its compensation to be paid for services hereunder complies with any applicable rules and regulations of FINRA.

SECTION 2.    SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY DIVINE.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Divine will:

(A)    Introduce the Company to potential investors for the Placement;

(B)    Divine agrees to furnish advice to Company in connection with the identification of individual and institutional sources of financing; arrangement of appropriate introductions to such parties; and marketing of financing proposals.

(C)    The Company will furnish promptly to Divine all information and material concerning the Company and the Offering that Divine reasonably requests in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Company represents and warrants that all information made available to Divine by the Company will, at all times during the period of the engagement of Divine hereunder, be complete and correct in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made. The Company further represents and warrants that any financial or other projections or forecasts provided to Divine will have been prepared in good faith and will be based upon assumptions which, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, are reasonable.

foregoing information, and that Divine will not undertake to make an independent appraisal of any of the assets or of the business of the Company. The Company understands that in rendering services hereunder Divine does not provide accounting, legal or tax advice and will rely upon the advice of the Placement Agent’s counsel and advisers.

(D)    At its next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company will seek stockholder approval to increase its pool of authorized shares of common stock. At this Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it will not seek stockholder approval to enact a reverse split of its common stock, unless the Company receives the express written approval of Divine Capital Markets.

SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Divine shall be entitled to rely upon any and all representations and warranties of the Company included in the purchase agreements entered into by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement, subject to the qualifications and limitations therein, including, but not limited to, any disclosure set forth on an applicable schedule.

APPENDIX A — INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

(A)    The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Divine and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, advisers and consultants, and any persons controlling Divine or any of its affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Divine and each such other person or entity being referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”), from and against all claims, liabilities, losses or damages (or actions in respect thereof) or other expenses which (A) are related to or arise out of (i) actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by the Company or its respective affiliates or (ii) actions taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person with the consent or in conformity with the actions or omissions of the Company or their respective affiliates or (iii) any investigation, litigation, or inquiry by a regulatory or self-regulatory agency or authority involving the Company or any transaction arising under any agreements between the Company and Divine or (B) are otherwise related to or arise out of the Placement Agent’s activities on behalf of the Company or its respective affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or (C) in any way involving or alleged to involve the Company, the Offering or the Securities. The Company will not be responsible, however, for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence which are resulted from such Indemnified Person’s violation of law, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the Company agrees to advance (and in the absence of advancement required hereunder) to promptly reimburse each Indemnified Person for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing, conducting or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with litigation in which any Indemnified Person is a named party, or in connection with enforcing the rights of such Indemnified Person under this Agreement.

(B)    Promptly after receipt by Divine of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which Divine is entitled to indemnity hereunder, Divine will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Divine and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Divine will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for Divine determines that to do so would be in the best interests of the Placement Agent. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding at its sole expense provided (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of culpability as to the Indemnified Party and (ii) the parties agree that the terms of such Settlement shall remain confidential.

(C)    The Company agrees to notify Divine promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by this engagement letter.

(D)    If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to Divine or insufficient to hold Divine harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Divine as a result of such tosses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Divine on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Placement Agent’s share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by such Placement Agent under this engagement letter (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by such Placement Agent).

(E)    These indemnification provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is completed and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under this engagement letter or otherwise.

Mateon Therapeutics Raises Net Proceeds of Approximately $2.4 Million

in Financing Transaction

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – April 16, 2018 – Mateon Therapeutics, Inc . (OTCQX:MATN), a biopharmaceutical company developing investigational drugs for the treatment of orphan oncology indications, today announced that it has completed a private placement transaction with accredited investors for the sale of 14,625,000 shares of unregistered Mateon common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. Investors in the placement will also receive warrants, with an exercise price of $0.40 per share, for the same number of shares as purchased in the private placement transaction. Gross proceeds of the transaction were $2.925 million, and net proceeds are estimated to be approximately $2.4 million. The transaction closed on April 12, 2018.

Mateon plans to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of common stock issued in the financing as well as shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. If all warrants are exercised, Mateon will receive an additional $5.85 million in gross and estimated net proceeds.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein. There shall not be any offer, solicitation of an offer to buy, or sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offering, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements in this news release, including, but not limited to, those concerning the filing of a registration statement with the SEC and the proceeds that would be received upon the exercise of warrants are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions Mateon might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the sufficiency of the Company’s cash resources to continue in business and to conduct and complete future clinical and pre-clinical trials; the uncertainties as to the future success of ongoing and planned clinical trials; and the unproven safety and efficacy of products under development or that may be developed in the future. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those in the forward-looking statements is contained in Mateon’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Mateon’s reports on Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K. However, Mateon undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
