Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 16, 2018, Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to issue newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to a select group of existing and new investors, including Hudson Executive Capital, and BioStar Ventures, for gross proceeds of $25.0 million (the “Financing”). Under the terms of the transactions, the Company will issue shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a rate of $1.25 per share. The transaction is expected to close on or about March 16, 2018, and is subject to customary closing conditions. The closing price per share of the Common Stock on the NYSE American on March 15, 2018 was $1.29 per share.

Shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive non-compounding dividends in additional shares of preferred stock, at the rate of 12% per annum, subject to reduction in the event certain milestones are achieved.

The Company is also issuing to the investors warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The Warrant may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis.

In connection with the Financing, the Company also agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors, to be effective as of the closing of the Financing, requiring the Company to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the preferred stock and the Warrants. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of the closing of the Financing, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 60 days if there is no review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and within 90 days in the event of such review.

Holders of approximately 38% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock have entered into irrevocable agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) to vote their shares in connection with the transactions, which we expect to occur at the 2018 Annual Stockholder Meeting.

The Shares were offered and will be issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), set forth under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each purchaser represented that it is an accredited investor and that it is acquiring the preferred stock and Warrants for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.

The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Financing for general corporate purposes, including global commercialization of its CorPath GRX System.

The foregoing are only brief descriptions of the material terms of the Certificate of Designation (as defined below), Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Warrant, and Voting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
   

The information called for by this Item 3.02 is contained in Item 1.01, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

Item 5.02.              Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.
   

On March 15, 2018 (the “Election Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) elected Douglas L. Braunstein, effective as of the closing of the Financing, to serve as a Class I director until the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or his earlier death or resignation or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Since 2015, Mr. Braunstein has served as the managing partner and founder of Hudson Executive Capital. Previously, Mr. Braunstein served in various roles at JPMorgan Chase & Co., including as vice chairman and chief financial officer.

As with its other directors, the Company will enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Braunstein, which, among other things, provides for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, advancement of legal fees and expenses in connection with legal proceedings, certain procedures for determining whether he is entitled to indemnification and dispute resolution procedures.

Mr. Braunstein will be compensated as a non-employee director in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy (the “Policy”), as amended on December 15, 2018. Pursuant to the Policy, Mr. Braunstein will be eligible to receive (i) cash compensation on a quarterly basis for Board and committee service, as applicable, paid in arrears, including a quarterly Board retainer of $5,000, and (ii) an annual equity award of restricted stock units (each restricted stock unit relating to one share of the Company’s common stock) having an aggregate fair market value equal to $40,000, determined by dividing (A) $40,000 by (B) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on NYSE American on the grant date (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (an “Annual Equity Award”). Pursuant to the Policy, Annual Equity Awards shall become vested in full upon the one year anniversary of the applicable grant date, vesting in four successive equal quarterly installments on the quarterly anniversary of the grant date (rounded down to the nearest whole share), provided that the non-employee director is a director of the Company on the applicable vesting date. Mr. Braunstein’s initial Annual Equity Award and quarterly cash retainer will be pro-rated based on the number of days between the Election Date and the 12-month anniversary of the most recent annual meeting of stockholders and the number of days remaining in the fiscal quarter, respectively. All Annual Equity Awards granted pursuant to the Policy are subject to a resale restriction ending on the earlier of: (x) the director’s termination of service as a director and (y) the three (3)-year anniversary of the date of grant, as provided in the applicable restricted stock unit agreement, and vest in full immediately upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Award Plan). The Policy also provides each non-employee director with the option to receive common stock in lieu of cash retainers.

Mr. Braunstein will also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board and committees thereof or in connection with other business related to the Board.

Other than Mr. Braunstein’s role as the managing partner and founder of Hudson Executive Capital, an investor in the Financing described in Item 1.01 above, there are no transactions to which the Company is a party and in which Mr. Braunstein has a material interest that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Braunstein has not previously held any positions with the Company and has no family relationships with any directors or executive officers of the Company.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
   

On March 16, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). A summary of the Certification of Designation and the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock is as follows:

 

 

Dividends . Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive non-compounding dividends in additional shares of preferred stock, at the rate of 12% per annum, subject to reduction in the event certain milestones are achieved, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable in shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, equal to the quotient of (x) the dividend amount divided by (y) the applicable conversion price. The dividend rate may be reduced to (i) 8.00% in the event the Company achieves at least $50.0 million of revenue, other than any one-time license or similar fees, for any period of twelve consecutive months, or (ii) 6.00% if the Common Stock trading price exceeds $3.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the date hereof) for a period of 90 consecutive trading days (a “Trading Price Dividend Rate Adjustment”); provided that in the event the dividend rate is reduced to 8.00% pursuant to clause (i) before the occurrence of a Trading Price Dividend Rate Adjustment, the dividend rate shall be permanently fixed at 8.00% and clause (ii) shall cease to be applicable notwithstanding any future achievement of a Common Stock trading price in excess of $3.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the date hereof) for a period of 90 consecutive trading days.

Voting Rights . For so long as Hudson Executive Capital beneficially owns at least a majority of the outstanding preferred stock, the preferred stock will be entitled to vote with the shares of Common Stock and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company upon the following basis: each holder shall be entitled to a number of votes in respect of the shares of preferred stock owned of record by it equal to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the number of shares of preferred stock held by such holder by (y) $1.29, the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the NYSE American on March 15, 2018, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited. For so long as at least 10% of the shares of preferred stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement remains outstanding the Company may not directly or indirectly (i) amend, alter, repeal or otherwise modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designation or the Bylaws in a manner that would alter or change the terms or the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the preferred stock as to affect them adversely, (ii) create (by reclassification or otherwise) or authorize any senior securities or any parity securities, or (iii) issue, or authorize for issuance, any new shares of preferred stock without the prior affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then-issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock. For so long as Hudson Executive Capital holds at least a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, the Company may not directly or indirectly (a) incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), (b) sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, spin-off, split-off, close, convey, encumber, pledge or otherwise dispose of any intellectual property owned whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions to any person(s), other than pursuant to permitted indebtedness; (c) engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company on the initial issuance date unless such engagement in the line of business has received the prior approval of the Board; (d) modify its corporate structure, unless such modification has received the prior approval of the Board; or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing. In the election of directors to the Company, for so long as the holders of preferred stock hold at least 25% of the shares of preferred stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement, the holders of the preferred stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect by majority vote one individual to the Company’s Board.

Rank . Each share of preferred stock shall rank equally in all respects. With respect to distributions upon Liquidation (as defined below), the preferred stock rank senior to the Common Stock and to each other class of the Company’s capital stock existing now or hereafter created that are not specifically designated as ranking senior to the preferred stock.

Liquidation Preference . In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or such subsidiaries the assets of which constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (“Liquidation”), each holder of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment or distribution of any assets of the Company shall be made or set apart for holders of any junior securities, including the Common Stock, for such holder’s shares of preferred stock in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Liquidation Preference and (B) the aggregate Accrued Dividends of such shares as of the date of the Liquidation (as such terms are defined in the Certificate of Designation) and (ii) the amount such holder would have received had such shares of preferred stock, immediately prior to such Liquidation, been converted into shares of Common Stock.

Conversion . Each Holder of shares of preferred stock shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”), at any time and from time to time, at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of such holder’s shares of preferred stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Upon a holder’s election to exercise its Conversion Right, each share of preferred stock for which the Conversion Right is exercised shall be converted into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (1) the Liquidation Preference and (2) the Accrued Dividends on such share as of the conversion date, divided by (B) the Conversion Price of such share in effect at the time of conversion.

 

 

Issuance Limitation . Until such time as the Company has obtained the approval of its shareholders required by the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE American with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, the Company may not issue, upon conversion of the preferred stock or exercise of the Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued on or after the date of the Purchase Agreements and prior to such conversion (i) in connection with any conversion of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreements and (ii) in connection with the exercise of any Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreements would exceed 19.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreements (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and the like).

Forced Conversion . If (a) at any time after the original issuance date, the Common Stock trading price exceeds $4.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the date hereof) for a 30 consecutive trading day period and (b) the Company, at its option, delivers a written notice to the holders of the preferred stock within 10 business days of the conclusion of such period, then each share of preferred stock outstanding shall be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (1) the Liquidation Preference and (2) the Accrued Dividends on such share, divided by (B) the conversion price of such share in effect as of the business day immediately prior to the date of the Company’s notice to the holder.

Section 9. Adjustments to Conversion Price .

 

(a)           Adjustments to Conversion Price . Except as provided in Section 9(d) , the Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments:

 

(i)          Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Corporation declares a dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price at the opening of business on such Ex-Date by the following fraction: 

 

OS 0  

 
 

OS 1  

 

 

Where,

OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.

 

OS 1 = the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution. 

If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 9(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date and time the Board of Directors determines not to make such dividend or distribution, to such Conversion Price that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

18  

 

(ii)         Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of the Common Stock . If the Corporation subdivides, splits or combines the shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination by the following fraction:

 

OS 0  

 
 

OS 1  

 

 

Where,

OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.

 

OS 1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination. 

If any subdivision, split or combination described in this Section 9(a)(ii) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided, split or combined, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to subdivide, split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to such Conversion Price that would be in effect if such subdivision, split or combination had not been announced.

(iii)        Other Distributions . If the Corporation distributes to all holders of shares of Common Stock any Convertible Securities or Options or any other assets for which there is no corresponding distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution of cash or non-cash property for which there is a corresponding distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) ), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution by the following fraction: 

 

SP 0 – FMV

 
 

SP 0   

 

 

Where,

SP 0 = the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution.

FMV = the fair market value of the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock on the Ex-Date for such distribution, in the case of a non-cash distribution or with respect to the non-cash portion of a distribution, if any, as determined (i) by the good faith determination of the Board of Directors or (ii) if, within five Business Days following notice from the Corporation of the value determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to clause (i), the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock object in good faith to such determination, then the fair market value will be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm that has for this purpose (x) been selected by the Board of Directors, and (y) is reasonably acceptable to Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; provided , that such value, whether determined pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), shall not for the purposes hereof in any event be equal to or greater than the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on such date.

19  

 

In a “spin-off,” where the Corporation makes a distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock consisting of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests of, or relating to, a Subsidiary of the Corporation or other business unit, the Conversion Price will be adjusted on the 15 th Trading Day after the effective date of the distribution by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such 15 th Trading Day by the following fraction:

 

MP 0  

 
 

MP 0 + MP s   

 
     

 

Where,

 

MP 0 = (i) if the Common Stock is listed or quoted on a principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market, the Market Price of a share of Common Stock for the period ending on and including the tenth Trading Day following the effective date of such distribution, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed or quoted on a principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market, the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the effective date of such distribution.

 

MP s = (i) if the capital stock or equity interests distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted on a principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market, an amount equal to the product of ( x ) the number of shares of such capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock and ( y ) the Market Price of such capital stock or equity interests for the period ending on and including the tenth Trading Day following the effective date of such distribution, or ( ii ) if such capital stock or equity interests are not listed or quoted on a principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market, the Market Price of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock on the effective date of such distribution (after giving effect to such distribution).

 

In the event that such distribution described in this Section 9(a)(iii) is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

20  

 

 

(iv)        Certain Repurchases of Common Stock . If the Corporation effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock that involves the payment by the Corporation of consideration per share of Common Stock that exceeds the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase ( provided that if part or all of the consideration is not cash, the fair market value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm that has for this purpose (x) been selected by the Board of Directors, and (y) been consented to by Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase shall be adjusted (such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase) by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by the following fraction:

 

 

(OS 0 x SP 0 ) – AC

 
 

SP 0 x OS 1   

 

  

Where,

 

SP 0 = the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first announcement of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase.

 

OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase, including, if applicable, any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn or exchanged shares.

 

OS 1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase, including, if applicable, any shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn, minus the number of shares purchased in such Pro Rata Repurchase (which shares shall equal the Purchased Shares (as defined below) if such Pro Rata Repurchase is effected pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer).

 

AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in such Pro Rata Repurchase, and in the case of non-cash consideration, as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm that has for this purpose (x) been selected by the Board of Directors, and (y) been consented to by Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, based, in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer, on the number of shares actually accepted for purchase (the “ Purchased Shares ”).

 

In the event that the Corporation, or one of its Affiliates, is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such Pro Rata Repurchase, but the Corporation, or such Affiliate, is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such Pro Rata Repurchase had not been made.

 

(v)        Rights Plans . To the extent that the Corporation has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Holders will receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation had issued the rights to all holders of the Common Stock in an issuance triggering an adjustment pursuant to Section 9(a)(iii) , subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights

 

21  

 

 

(b)           Other Adjustments .

(ii)        If the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Stock, other than an action described in Section 9(a) , which upon a determination by the Board of Directors, in its good faith discretion (such determination intended to be a “fact” for purposes of Section 151(a) of the DGCL), would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors determines in good faith to be equitable in the circumstances.

 

(c)           Successive Adjustments . Successive adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made, without duplication, whenever any event specified in Section 9(a) or Section 9(b) shall occur.

 

(d)           Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments . All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth (1/10 th ) of a cent.

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, NYSE American (or such exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed) or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in compliance with the applicable listing standards of NYSE American (or such exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed).

Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “ Indemnified Person ”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.6(a) , such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person and the assumption of the payment of all fees and expenses; provided , however , that the failure of any Indemnified Person to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or the Company does not, upon assuming the defense of such proceeding, conduct the defense of such claim actively and diligently; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person and the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Person and the Company; (iv) the claim is based upon any proceeding, indictment, allegation or investigation of a criminal nature; or (v) the claim seeks an injunction or non-monetary or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, other than any such claim that is incidental to the primary claim or claims and not material (in the case of clauses (ii)-(v), if such Indemnified Party notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and such settlement does not require any Indemnified Person to perform any covenant or refrain from engaging in any activity or include any non-monetary limitation on the actions of any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates or any admission of fault, violation, culpability, malfeasance or nonfeasance by, or on behalf of, or liability on behalf of, any such Indemnified Person.

4.14         Preemptive Rights .

 

(a)        If, from the Closing Date until the date that is 36 months after the Closing Date, or such earlier time as fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased hereunder (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination or other recapitalization or reclassification effected after the date hereof) are outstanding (the “ Preemptive Period ”), the Company offers to sell Covered Securities (as defined below) in a private offering of Covered Securities for cash (a “ Qualified Offering ”), then each Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, in the aggregate up to the amount of Covered Securities required to enable it to maintain its Qualified Purchaser Percentage Interest (measured immediately prior to the delivery of the Qualified Offering Notice). “Qualified Purchaser Percentage Interest” means, as of any date of determination, the percentage equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) then held by such Purchaser as of the date of determination, divided by (ii) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) as of such date. “Covered Securities” means Common Stock and any rights, options or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, other than securities that are (A) issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company (including derivative securities) issued and outstanding as of the date hereof or pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; (B) issued by the Company pursuant to any employment contract, employee incentive or benefit plan, stock purchase plan, stock ownership plan, stock option or equity compensation plan (or a bona fide inducement grant to new employees outside of any such plan) or other similar plan approved by the Board of Directors, including where stock is being issued or offered to a trust, other entity to or for the benefit of any employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company; (C) issued on an arm’s length basis to an unaffiliated third party in connection with acquisitions, asset purchases, licenses, joint ventures, technology license agreements, collaborations or strategic transactions involving the Company and other entities approved by the Board of Directors; or (D) securities issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with credit or lending arrangements, equipment financings or lease arrangements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.14 shall not require the Company to take any action that would require shareholder approval under applicable stock exchange rules or result in a violation of law or stock exchange rule or regulation.

 

(b)        Prior to making any Qualified Offering of Covered Securities, the Company shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention to make such an offering, describing, to the extent then known, the anticipated amount of securities, and other material terms then known to the Company upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (such notice, a “ Qualified Offering Notice ”). The Company shall deliver such notice only to the individuals identified on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto, and shall not communicate the information to anyone else acting on behalf of the Purchaser without the consent of one of the designated individuals. Each Purchaser shall then have 10 days after receipt of the Qualified Offering Notice (the “ Offer Period ”) to notify the Company in writing (a “ Purchaser Notice ”) that it intends to exercise such preemptive right and as to the amount of Covered Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.14(a) (the “ Designated Securities ”). The failure to respond to a Qualified Offering Notice during the Offering Period constitutes a waiver of such Purchaser’s preemptive right in respect of such offering. A Purchaser Notice constitutes a non-binding indication of interest of such Purchaser to purchase the amount of Designated Securities specified by such Purchaser (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of Covered Securities to be offered in such Qualified Offering is subsequently reduced) at the price (or range of prices) established in the Qualified Offering and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The sale of the Covered Securities in the Qualified Offering, including any Designated Securities, shall be closed not later than 30 days after the end of the Offer Period. The Covered Securities to be sold to other investors in such Qualified Offering shall be sold at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to such other investors than, those specified in the Qualified Offering Notice. If the Company does not consummate the sale of Covered Securities to other investors within such 30-day period, the right provided hereunder shall be revived and such securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Purchasers in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and unless otherwise agreed by the Lead Purchaser, by not later than 60 days following the end of the Offer Period, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Purchasers that the Qualified Offering has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Covered Securities in the Qualified Offering, in either case in such a manner that the Purchasers will not be in possession of any material, non-public information thereafter.

 

32  

 

 

(c)        If a Purchaser exercises its preemptive right provided in this Section 4.14 with respect to a Qualified Offering, the Company shall offer and sell such Purchaser, if any such offering is consummated, the Designated Securities (as adjusted, upward to reflect the actual size of such offering when priced) at the same price as the Covered Securities are offered to third persons (not including the underwriters or the initial purchasers in a Rule 144A offering that is being reoffered by the initial purchasers) in such offering and shall provide written notice of such price upon the determination of such price.

 

(d)        In addition to the pricing provision of Section 4.14(c) , the Company will offer and sell the Designated Securities to each Purchaser upon terms and conditions not less favorable than the most favorable terms and conditions offered to other persons or entities in a Qualified Offering.

 

(e)        Until the expiration of the Preemptive Period, the Company covenants that it shall not consummate a primary offering by the Company of securities issued in an offering registered under the Securities Act without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser; provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if: (i) the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor in good faith attempts to inform the Lead Purchaser of such offering on a confidential basis pursuant to a customary “wall crossing” procedure and the Lead Purchaser declines to speak with the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor regarding the offering (i.e., it does not come “over the wall”) (it being understood that the Lead Purchaser will be deemed to have “declined to speak” to the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor, and thus have given consent to such offering, if it could not be reached or does not provide a response within 48 hours after such good faith attempt to inform the Lead Purchaser of such offering); or (ii) the Company or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor contacts the Lead Purchaser following the first public announcement of the public offering and the Lead Purchaser is offered an allocation of or is allocated in such offering the lesser of: (A) its requested allocation in such public offering or (B) its Qualified Purchaser Percentage Interest; or (iii) if the Lead Purchaser cannot be found or is not responsive during the period between the first public announcement of the public offering and the pricing of such public offering (which may be the same day as the announcement in the case of a confidentially marketed public offering). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.14 shall not (1) apply to any offering or sale of securities on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or any similar or successor forms, (2) apply to the filing or effectiveness of any shelf registration statement, whether covering potential sales of Company securities by the Company or resales of Company securities by selling security holders, (3) apply to offers or sales under any resale registration statement by security holders of the Company, (4) apply to any offering or sale pursuant to an “at the market” offering by the Company, or (5) require the Company to take any action that would require shareholder approval under applicable stock exchange rules or result in a violation of law or stock exchange rule or regulation.

 

(f)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4.14 may be waived by a written instrument signed by the Lead Purchaser.

 

4.15        Furnishing of Information . Until the date that any Purchaser owning Underlying Shares may sell all of them under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.15 .

If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

 

6.13          Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any Action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

6.14          Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

38  

 

 

6.15          Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices . In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

 

6.16          Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser.

 

6.17          Waiver of Conflicts . Each Purchaser acknowledges that Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., outside general counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the this Agreement, including representation of such Purchasers or their Affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. inform the Purchasers hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of this Agreement solely on behalf of the Company. Each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation; (b) acknowledges that with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser; and (c) gives its informed consent to Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.’s representation of the Company in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

39  

 

 

6.18          Termination . This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other, if the Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Outside Date; provided , however , that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.18 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 6.18 , the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.18 , the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom. The Company and any Purchaser(s) may extend the term of this Agreement in accordance with the amendment provisions of Section 6.4 herein.

Attn: Mr. John Ahearn

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March [__], 2018 (the “ Agreement ”), by and among Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and the purchasers named on the signature pages thereto (collectively, and including permitted transferees, the “ Holders ”), pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ”), which shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares (the “ Underlying Shares ”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and warrants, which are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”).

 

By this letter, you are irrevocably authorized and directed to issue an aggregate of [___] shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “ Shares ”). The Shares should be issued in the names and denominations specified on Schedule I hereto, in either book entry or stock certificate form, as indicated on Schedule I . The Shares have not been registered and are, therefore, “restricted shares.” Accordingly, the Shares should bear the following restricted legend:

 

NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

 

The Shares may be issued to any Holder in certificate form (each, a “ Certificate ” and collectively, the “ Certificates ”) upon request. Any Certificate issued should contain the aforementioned legend.

 

This letter shall also serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time and the conditions set forth in this letter are satisfied), subject to any stop transfer instructions that we may issue to you from time to time, if any, to issue certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon transfer or resale of the Underlying Shares or the Warrant Shares.

 

 

 

  

You acknowledge and agree that so long as you have received written confirmation from the Company’s legal counsel that a registration statement covering resales of the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and a copy of such registration statement, then, unless otherwise required by law, you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to issue the certificates representing the Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares registered in the names of such Holders or transferees, as the case may be, within three Business Days of your receipt of a notice of transfer of Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares, and such certificates shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction.

 

A form of written confirmation from the Company’s outside legal counsel that a registration statement covering resales of the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act (which confirmation shall be delivered to you upon effectiveness of the registration statement) is attached hereto as Annex A .

 

Please be advised that the Holders are relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter into the Agreement and, accordingly, each Holder is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.

 

Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in accordance with these instructions.

Re: Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March [__], 2018, with the buyers named therein (collectively, the “ Purchasers ”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ”) and Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Series A-1 Preferred Stock ” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “ Preferred Stock ”), which shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares (the “ Underlying Shares ”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and warrants, which are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”). Pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date, the Company agreed to register the resale of the Underlying Stock and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “ Registrable Securities ”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on [______], 2018, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-[_______]) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder and set forth as Exhibit A hereto.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the Commission’s staff has advised us by telephone that the Commission has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [____][a.m.][p.m.] on [______], 2018, and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the Commission and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof, the Registrable Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued by you, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and are registered for resale under the Securities Act under the effective Registration Statement and may be issued without a restrictive legend.

 

This letter shall serve as our standing notice to you that the Common Stock may be freely transferred by the Purchasers pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers or the transferees of the Purchasers, as the case may be, as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated March [____], 2018, provided at the time of such reissuance, the Company has not otherwise notified you that the Registration Statement is unavailable for the resale of the Registrable Securities. This letter shall serve as our standing instructions with regard to this matter.

The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except that if the Company is then ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering) subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) and shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) a “Plan of Distribution” section substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A (which may be modified to respond to comments, if any, provided by the Commission).

 

(i)            Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2 , in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement or that any Holder must be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (x) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (y) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “ New Registration Statement ”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided , however , that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09, in each case without naming any Holder as an underwriter in the Registration Statement.

(ii)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages in Section 2(c) , if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering without naming any Holder as an underwriter (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by the Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders) and second by the Underlying Shares (applied, in the case that some Underlying Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Underlying Shares held by such Holders), subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (x) or (y) in Section 2(a)(i) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “ Remainder Registration Statements ”). No Holder shall be named as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement without such Holder’s prior written consent.

 

(b)             The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable and, with respect to the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline (including, with respect to the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not be subject to further review and the effectiveness of such Registration Statement may be accelerated), and, subject to Sections 2(e) and (f) , shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act for so long as the securities registered for resale thereunder retain their character as “Registrable Securities” (the “ Effectiveness Period ”). The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via electronic mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto on or before the first Trading Day after the date that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the first Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a final Prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).

(c)             If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, is not declared effective by the Commission (or otherwise does not become effective) for any reason on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline or (iii) after its Effective Date and except for the reasons as set forth in Section 3(h) , (A) such Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a stop order or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or (B) the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for any reason (other than due to a change in the “Plan of Distribution” or the inaccuracy of any information regarding the Holders), in each case, for more than an aggregate of 30 consecutive calendar days or 45 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) during any 12-month period (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a Holder or a Holder’s failure to return a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire within the time period provided by Section 2(d) hereof) (any such failure or breach in clauses (i) through (iii) above being referred to as an “ Event ,” and, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii), the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii), the date on which such 30 or 45 calendar day period is exceeded, being referred to as an “ Event Date ”), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) within five Business Days after an Event Date relating to a failure in clause (i) only, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities held by such Holder on such Event Date; and (y) on each 30-day anniversary (or pro rata portion thereof) following any Event Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a failure in clause (i), in which case each 30-day anniversary shall be measured commencing on the 31 st day following such Event Date) until the earlier of (1) the applicable Event is cured or (2) the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without manner of sale or volume restrictions, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. The amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) are referred to collectively as “ Liquidated Damages .” The parties agree that (1) the Company will not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement with respect to any Warrants or any Warrant Shares (prior to their issuance), (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Purchase Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period and in no event shall the aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages payable to a Holder exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (3) in no event shall the Company be liable in any 30-day period for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement in excess of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section 2(c) in full within 10 Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.0% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Unless otherwise specified in Section 2(c) , the Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall preclude any Holder from pursuing or obtaining any available remedies at law, specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Section 2(c) in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement due solely to SEC Guidance from the time that it is determined that such Registrable Securities are not permitted to be registered until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as to the Remainder Registration Statements required to be filed hereunder are triggered, in which case the provisions of this Section 2(c) shall once again apply, if applicable. In such case, the Liquidated Damages shall be calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are permitted in accordance with SEC Guidance to be included in such Registration Statement. The Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without default or Liquidated Damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of a Holder to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act (in which the Effectiveness Deadline would be extended with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder).

 

5

 

 

(d)             Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire not more than ten Trading Days following the date of this Agreement. At least five Trading Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder other than the information contained in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, within two Trading Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire and a response to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or a request for further information, in either case, after its respective deadline, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information as described in this Section 2(d) will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.

 

(e)             In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

5. Indemnification .

 

(a)             Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, except to the extent, but only to the extent that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii) - (vi) , related to the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 6(c) below, following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected, or (C) any such Losses arise out of the Purchaser’s (or any other indemnified Person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule), to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) ) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

 

10

 

 

(b)             Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents, stockholders, Affiliates and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based solely upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii) - (vi) , to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c) . In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)             Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided , that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. 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 exists 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 , 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 prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 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 and such settlement does not include any non-monetary limitation on the actions of any Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates or any admission of fault or liability on behalf of any such Indemnified Party. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, 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 5) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 20 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 5 , except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

11

 

 

(d)             Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, 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 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 this Agreement, 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 5 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) , (A) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net 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 and (B) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the maker of such contribution would not have been required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the fault standards set forth in this Section 5 . No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

6. Piggyback Registration

 

(a)             If, at any time when there are Registrable Securities then outstanding there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than a registration statement relating to a rights offering, or on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of or merger with any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s equity incentive or other employee benefit plans), and even if there is such an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, in the event that such offering for its own account or the account of others is to be underwritten, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination, and if, within ten (10) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration statement all or any part of any Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered. The Company shall have the right to postpone, terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 6(a) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

 

(b)             The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 6 in connection with an underwritten offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Each Holder proposing to distribute its securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into and perform such Holder’s obligations under an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by the Company or other holder of securities having the right to select such managing underwriter(s) (such underwriting agreement to be in the form negotiated by the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 , if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering with respect to which Holders of Registrable Securities have exercised their piggyback registration rights advise the Board in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the offering thereby and all other securities proposed to be sold in the offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such underwritten offering without adversely affecting the success of such offering, in light of market conditions, the Registrable Securities and such other securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated, subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Registration Rights Agreements, (i) first, up to the total number of securities that the Company has requested to be included in such registration, if such registration has been initiated by the Company, or that any other holder of securities has requested to be included in such registration, if such registration has been initiated by such other holder, (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, all other securities proposed to be included in such offering by Holders (pro rata based upon the number of securities that each of them shall have so requested to be included in such offering), and (iii) third, and only if all the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) have been included, all other securities proposed to be included in such offering by Holders and other holders with registration rights (pro rata based upon the number of securities that each of them shall have so requested to be included in such offering) that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter (provided that, if the managing underwriter(s) have provided such Holder with written notice of the date on which the applicable Registration Statement will become effective no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such effectiveness date, such Holder’s written notice of such election must be given at least three (3) Business Days prior to effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement). Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

 

13

 

 

7.             Rule 144 Compliance . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:

 

(i)           use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

 

(ii)          use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act, at any time when the Company is subject to such reporting requirements; and

 

(iii)         furnish to any Holder, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company with the Commission as such Holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration (in each case to the extent not readily publicly available).

 

8. Miscellaneous .

 

(a)             Remedies . Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, 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)             No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements . Except as set forth on Section 3.1(g) of the Disclosure Schedule to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities and the Company shall not prior to the initial Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement (or such earlier time as the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale by non-affiliates without volume or manner of sale requirements under Rule 144) (i) issue equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement for its own account under the Securities Act, other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or in connection with an acquisition, on Form S-4, or (ii) enter into any new agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be prohibited from preparing and filing with the Commission one or more registration statements relating to an offering of Common Stock or other securities of the Company under the Securities Act, including without limitation a “universal shelf” registration statement, or from filing or going effective on amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.

 

(c)             Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Registration Statement

 

14

 

 

(d)             Discontinued Disposition . By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, the Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii) - (vi) , such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

 

(e)             No Inconsistent Agreements . The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date hereof, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

 

(f)              Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holders holding no less that a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, provided that any party may give a waiver as to itself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(g)             Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

(h)             Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its rights (except by merger or in connection with another entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign its respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement; provided in each case that (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and related obligations under this Agreement, and for the transferee or assignee to assume such obligations, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein and (iv) the transferee is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

(i)             Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature were the original thereof.

It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

Annex A

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

 

a combination of any such methods of disposition; and

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

 

 

 

 

Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.  In addition, upon being notified in writing by the selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

 

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. 

 

We have advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act during such time as it may be engaged in a distribution of the shares.  The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.  The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and is advised of the following Interpretation A.65 of the July 1997 SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations regarding short selling:

 

“An Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling stockholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

 

By returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

 

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements (including, without limitation the answers to this Questionnaire) are correct.

Original Issue Date: March __, 2018

 

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, [___________] or its permitted registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [____] shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company (the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price per share equal to $1.40 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9 herein, the “ Exercise Price ”), at any time and from time to time on or after the date (the “ Exercisability Date ”) that is six months following the date hereof (the “ Original Issue Date ”) and through and including 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on March __, 2028 (the “ Expiration Date ”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

This Warrant (this “ Warrant ”) is one of a series of warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 15, 2018, by and among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the “ Purchase Agreement ”). All such Warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ Warrants .”

 

1.             Definitions . In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.             Registration of Warrants . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, which may be a third-party transfer agent (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

3.             Registration of Transfers . Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement and compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached as Schedule 2 hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company’s transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified in the Purchase Agreement and (x) delivery, at the request of the Company, of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer of such portion of this Warrant may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws (other than in connection with any transfer (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that such Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such rule), and (y) delivery by the transferee of a written statement to the Company certifying that the transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and making the representations and certifications set forth in Sections 3.2(b), (c), (d), (f), (k) and (o) of the Purchase Agreement, to the Company at its address specified in the Purchase Agreement. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3 .

 

 

 

4.             Exercise and Duration of Warrant .

 

(a)           All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the Exercisability Date and through and including 5:30 p.m. New York City time, on the Expiration Date. At 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion (or all) of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be automatically terminated and no longer outstanding, provided , however , that if the last reported Closing Sale Price immediately prior to the Expiration Date was greater than the Exercise Price, then this Warrant shall be automatically deemed exercised on a cashless basis as of 4:01 p.m. (ET) on the Expiration Date.

 

(b)           The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The delivery by (or on behalf of) the Holder of the Exercise Notice and the applicable Exercise Price as provided above shall constitute the Holder’s certification to the Company that its representations contained in Sections 3.2(b), (c), (d), (f), (k) and (o) of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the Exercise Date and the date on which Holder pays the Company the Exercise Price as if remade in their entirety (or, in the case of any transferee Holder that is not a party to the Purchase Agreement, such transferee Holder’s certification to the Company that such representations are true and correct as to such assignee Holder as of the Exercise Date). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, but if it is not so delivered then such exercise shall constitute an agreement by the Holder to deliver the original Warrant to the Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5.             Delivery of Warrant Shares .

 

(a)           Upon exercise of this Warrant and delivery of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two Trading Days after the later of the Exercise Date and delivery of the Exercise Price) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate ( provided that, if the Registration Statement is not effective and the Holder directs the Company to deliver a certificate for the Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, it shall deliver to the Company on the Exercise Date an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the issuance of such Warrant Shares in such other name may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws), (i) a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends, or (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) or a similar organization, unless in the case of clause (i) and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without restriction under Rule 144 by Holders who are not affiliates of the Company, in which case such Holder shall receive a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise with appropriate restrictive legends. The Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Holder fails to deliver the documents required to register a transferee as set forth in Section 3 above or to provide the documents required under this Section 5(a) to issue a certificate or electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person(s) other than the Holder, then determination of the two Trading Days shall be tolled until such documents have been delivered to the Company. If the Warrant Shares are to be issued free of all restrictive legends, the Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing corporation.

 

(b)           To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company (other than breaches related to this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement) or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the 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.

 

6.             Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.             Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and, in each case, a customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

8.             Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company represents and warrants that on the date hereof, it has duly authorized and reserved, and covenants that it will at all times during the period this Warrant is outstanding reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9 ). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the original issuance thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company represents and warrants that the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Warrants, will be issued free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens and other encumbrances other than restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

 

9.             Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .

 

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

 

4

 

 

(b)           Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset, including cash (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), except, for any distributions pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan or similar takeover defense agreement or plan adopted by the Company, then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

 

(c)           Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects (A) any merger of the Company with (but not into) another Person, in which stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Company into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer approved or authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors is completed pursuant to which holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above or as a result of a transaction, the primary purpose of which is to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “ Alternate Consideration ”), and the Holder shall no longer have the right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions of an analogous type to any Fundamental Transaction.

 

(d)           Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9(a) , the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(e)           Calculations . All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest share, as applicable.

 

(f)            Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

 

5

 

 

(g)           Notice of Corporate Events . If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided , however , that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

 

10.           Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder shall either pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds or by way of a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

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

 

where:

 

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

 

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date.

 

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

 

For purposes of this Warrant, “ Closing Sale Price ” means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the Principal Trading Market for such security, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if such Principal Trading Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate a last trade price, then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg Financial Markets, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its good faith judgment to determine the fair market value. The Board of Directors’ determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

 

For purposes of Rule 144, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the provisions above permitting “cashless exercise” are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant pursuant to such provisions will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of Rule 144, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced as to such original Holder, on the Original Issue Date.

11.           Limitations on Exercise .

 

(a)           Exchange Ownership Limit . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until such time as the Company has obtained Stockholder Approval in accordance with Section 4.13 of the Purchase Agreement, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of the Principal Trading Market regulations or Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member) does not exceed 19.99% of the total number of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Original Issue Date (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise and the share of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) (the “ Ownership Limit ”).

 

(b)           [Beneficial Ownership Limit . Subject to Section 11(a) , the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member) does not exceed [9.99][4.99]% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise) (the “ Beneficial Ownership Limit ”). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limit applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limit, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 11, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within three Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. By written notice to the Company, subject to Section 11(a) , the Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limit applicable solely to such Holder to such other percentage limit as may be determined by the Holder, not to exceed [19.99][9.99]%, provided that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limit shall not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.]

13.           Notices .

14.           Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 15 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 shareholders services business shall be a 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.

(a)           No Rights as a Stockholder . The Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

(iii)          Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(c)           Successors and Assigns . Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant and in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, and compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.

Exhibit 99.1

(CORINDUS LOGO)  

 

Corindus Announces $25 Million Private Placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and Warrants
Douglas Braunstein to Join Board of Directors

WALTHAM, MA March 16, 2018 – Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. [NYSE American: CVRS], a leading developer of precision vascular robotics, announced today that it has entered into definitive agreements to issue newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to a select group of existing and new investors including Hudson Executive Capital and BioStar Ventures for gross proceeds of $25 million. Under the terms of the transactions, the Company will issue shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at a rate of $1.25 per share. The Company is also issuing to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. The transaction is expected to close on or about March 16, 2018, and is subject to customary closing conditions. The closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the NYSE American on March 15, 2018 was $1.29 per share.

Shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive non-compounding dividends in additional shares of preferred stock, at the rate of 12% per annum, subject to reduction in the event certain milestones are achieved.

The net proceeds are expected to be approximately $24.5 million. Corindus intends to use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes including global commercialization of its CorPath GRX System. The CorPath System is the first and only FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to both percutaneous coronary and percutaneous vascular procedures. The Company believes this offering will enable it to fund ongoing growth and will enhance the Company’s ability to optimize the potential of its new products and capabilities.

Holders of approximately 38% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock have entered into irrevocable agreements to vote their shares in connection with the transactions to allow the potential full conversion of all dividends in additional shares of stock, which we expect to occur at the 2018 Annual Stockholder Meeting.

Following the consummation of the private placement, the Company intends to enter into a term loan and revolving line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and Solar Capital Ltd., providing access to a new four-year term loan for up to $23 million, with $12 million funded at closing and remainder available upon attainment of milestones, as well as a revolving line of credit for up to $3 million. The closing of the term loan and revolving line of credit will be conditioned upon the closing of the private placement.

In connection with the transaction, Douglas Braunstein has been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors, effective as of the closing of the private placement. Mr. Braunstein is a seasoned investor and veteran advisor to public companies. Since 2015, Mr. Braunstein has served as the managing partner and founder of Hudson Executive Capital. Previously, Mr. Braunstein served in various roles at JPMorgan Chase & Co., including as vice chairman and chief financial officer.

“We are very pleased with this transaction and to have these leading firms invest in Corindus,” said Mark Toland, Corindus President and CEO. “The guidance and leadership from Doug’s addition to our board of directors will bring significant value to Corindus as we continue to ramp up our commercial efforts with CorPath GRX.”

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

 

 

The securities offered and to be sold by Corindus in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Corindus has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying securities sold in the private placement within 30 days of the closing of the private placement. Any resale of Corindus’ securities under such resale registration statement will be made only by means of a prospectus.
