Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 10, 2018 (the “Execution Date”), AIT Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $20,000,000, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Offering”). In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid Lincoln Park a commitment fee of $500,000.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on the Execution Date, the Company and Lincoln Park also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than the 40 th business day following the Execution Date to register for resale by Lincoln Park the shares of common stock that may be issued and sold by the Company to Lincoln Park from time to time under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, during the period beginning on the first business day after the Execution Date on which the Company has satisfied all of the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement applicable thereto and ending on the earlier of (i) 30 th business day immediately following the Execution Date and (ii) the third business day immediately prior to the date on which the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, the Company shall have the right to sell (the “Initial Purchase”) to Lincoln Park up to a maximum of 117,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.50 per share, which would result in gross proceeds to the Company of up to a maximum of $526,500, the actual gross proceeds from the Initial Purchase depending on the actual number of shares the Company determines to sell to Lincoln Park in the Initial Purchase, if any (the “Initial Purchase Amount”). Lincoln Park is only required to make one Initial Purchase provided that the Company may choose to sell any number of shares up to a maximum of 117,000 shares to Lincoln Park in the Initial Purchase, or may chose not to effect the Initial Purchase at all, in which case the Company would not receive any of the Initial Purchase Amount pursuant to the Initial Purchase and prior to the time the Company is eligible to commence other sales to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date (defined below).

 

From and after the date on which the Company has satisfied all of the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement applicable thereto (the “Commencement Date”), including that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, and from time to time over the 36-month period following the Commencement Date and up to an aggregate amount of $20,000,000 of common stock, assuming the Company has not sold any shares of common stock to Lincoln Park in the Initial Purchase (or up to an additional $19,473,500 of shares of common stock, assuming the Company has sold the maximum of 117,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park in the Initial Purchase for the full Initial Purchase Amount of $526,500 in aggregate gross proceeds therefor) the Company has the right, from time to time, in its sole discretion, on any business day on which the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock is not below $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement and subject to certain limitations as provided in the Purchase Agreement), to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 10,000 shares of common stock, with such amount increasing as the closing sale price of the of the common stock increases as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, provided Lincoln Park’s obligation under any single such purchase will not exceed $750,000 (each a “Regular Purchase”).

 

  2  

 

 

If the Company directs Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock in a Regular Purchase and the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock is not less than $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement), then in addition to such Regular Purchase, and subject to certain conditions and limitations in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase an additional amount of common stock in an "accelerated purchase". Under certain circumstances, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of common stock in multiple accelerated purchases on the same trading day.

 

The purchase price per share of common stock sold to Lincoln Park in Regular Purchases and accelerated purchases will be based on the market price of the Company's common stock at the time of the purchases in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

Beginning on the business day following the Commencement Date and ending on the thirtieth business day immediately following the Commencement Date, the Company may deliver one tranche purchase notice requiring Lincoln Park to purchase at $4.50 per share such number of shares equal to 117,000 less the number of shares purchased by Lincoln Park in the Initial Purchase, if any.

 

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of its common stock to Lincoln Park. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for its common stock under the Purchase Agreement, but in no event will shares be sold to Lincoln Park in a Regular Purchase or an Accelerated Purchase if the closing price of the Company's common stock is less than $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) on the applicable purchase date. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company's common stock.

 

Provided the Company does not enter into a transaction that would impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchase Agreement does not limit the Company’s ability to raise capital from other sources at the Company’s sole discretion, except that (subject to certain exceptions) the Company may not enter into any variable rate transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of any floating conversion rate or variable priced equity-like securities) until the later of: (i) the 36-month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date (if the Commencement has occurred), in each case irrespective of any earlier termination of the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and Lincoln Park, indemnification rights and other obligations of the parties. The Purchase Agreement automatically terminates (i) the first day of the month immediately following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date or (ii) on the date that the Company sells and Lincoln Park purchases the full available amount under the Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost to the Company.

 

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including development of the Company’s nitric oxide (NO) generator and delivery system for use with a breathing mask and ventilators, as well as preparation for pivotal studies in bronchiolitis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

The indemnity in this Section 9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Investor makes written request for it. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Company by Investor shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from the Company to Investor, provided that the Indemnitee shall undertake to repay any amounts paid to it hereunder if it is ultimately determined, by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Indemnified Liabilities by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION

 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

1. The Company is a corporation existing and, based solely on the certificate issued by the Secretary of State of Delaware dated as of _______, 2018, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and, based solely on the certificate issued by the Secretary of State of New York dated as of _______, 2018, is in good standing in the State of New York.

 

2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party. The Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best of our knowledge and as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

 

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance of the obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent, approval or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting creditor’s rights and remedies.

 

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the Purchase Shares, including, without limitation the Initial Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, and fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction Documents, does not and shall not: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound that is filed (or incorporated by reference) as an exhibit to any of (I) the Registration Statement, (II) the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended March 31, 2018, or (III) to any report, schedule or statement filed by the Company with or furnished by the Company to the SEC from and after March 31, 2018 (collectively, the “Material Agreements”), (ii) result in any violation of any U.S. federal or New York state statute, law, rule or regulation, which in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions similar to those contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or the DGCL, provided, however, that we do not express any opinion as to compliance with the antifraud provisions of U.S. federal and state securities laws, or (iii) to our knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree specifically naming the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

 
 

 

5. The issuance of the Purchase Shares, including, without limitation, the Initial Purchase Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. [The Initial Purchase Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights.] 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance as Purchase Shares (other than the Initial Purchase Shares) under the Purchase Agreement. When issued and paid for in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Shares [(other than the Initial Purchase Shares)] 2 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other Person for the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived.

 

6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of __,___,___ shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which to our knowledge __________ shares are issued and outstanding.

 

7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and your compliance with the covenants made by you in the Transaction Documents, the offering, sale and issuance of the Purchase Shares, including, without limitation, the Initial Purchase Shares, to you pursuant to the Transaction Documents is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

 

8. Other than that which has been obtained and completed prior to the date hereof, no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange or market, or any court, or, to our knowledge, is required to be obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or for the Company to issue and sell the Purchase Shares, including, without limitation the Initial Purchase Shares, as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

9. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. To our knowledge, since one year preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has been materially in compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to it. To our knowledge, the Company has not received any written notice from any Person stating that the Company has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations (including the requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market.

 

10. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the issuance of the Purchase Shares, including, the Initial Purchase Shares (as applicable) and the application of the proceeds as described in the Prospectus, will not be, an “investment company,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

11. Except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, none of the Material Agreements grants to any person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.

 

[THE FOLLOWING MAY BE MADE IN A SEPARATE NEGATIVE ASSURANCES LETTER]

 

 

2 Use if Initial Purchase Shares are issued.

 

 
 

 

As counsel to the Company, we reviewed the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and participated in discussions with your representatives and those of the Company, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus were discussed. Between the date of the Transaction Documents and the time of the delivery of this letter, we participated in further discussions with your representatives and those of the Company, and we reviewed certain certificates of officers of the Company and public officials delivered to you today.

 

The purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, statistical or accounting data. Therefore, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements or information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and, except as set forth herein, we have not made, or undertaken any obligation to make, an independent check or verification of the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements or information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature, for which we have assumed no responsibility.

 

Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you, on the basis of the information that we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, that (a) the Registration Statement, at the time it initially became effective (except in as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial and accounting data, as to which we make no comment), appeared or appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and Form S-1, and (b) each of the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement (except as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial and accounting data, as to which we make no comment), at the time such document was filed with the SEC, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. Furthermore, subject to the foregoing, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that: (a) the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (b) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date and time of delivery of this letter, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided , however , that we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and we do not express any belief as to the financial statements and related notes, financial statement schedules or financial statistics or other financial or accounting data and information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

 

We inform you that the Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act on _______, 201__ and that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act.

 

We are not representing the Company in any pending litigation in which it is a named defendant that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Transaction Documents.

 

Further, we confirm to you that the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared to us on their face to respond in all material respects to the requirements of Form S-1, except that the foregoing statement does not address any requirement relating to financial statements, notes or schedules and financial and accounting data or information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

The initial Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the date on which the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “ Registration Period ”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

 

b. Rule 424 Prospectus . The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.

 

c. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered . In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “ New Registration Statement ”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

 

  2  
 

 

d. Offering . If the staff of the SEC (the “ Staff ”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectuses contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

 

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS .

e.

The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

 

f.

g.

i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

 

j.

Thereafter, if requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the Registration Statement is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

 

m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

 

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR .

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

  6  
 

 

b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “ Indemnified Party ”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

  7  
 

 

c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. 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 Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

7. CONTRIBUTION .

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS .

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled by Jonathan Cope or Josh Scheinfeld, in which case the assignee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to AIT Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2018 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), entered into by and between the Company and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (the “ Buyer ”), pursuant to which [the Company has issued to the Buyer shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”),] and may in the future issue to the Buyer shares of Common Stock in an amount up to an aggregate of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) the following shares of Common Stock:

 

  (1) [___________] shares of Common Stock that have been issued to the Buyer on [INSERT DATE OF ISSUANCE] (the “ Initial Purchase Shares ”); and
     
  (2) [____________] shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon purchase by the Buyer from the Company from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Shares ”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2018, with the Buyer (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register [the Initial Purchase Shares and] the Purchase Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, on [_________], 2018, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-[_________]) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the SEC relating to the resale of [the Initial Purchase Shares and] the Purchase Shares.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that the SEC 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 review of the stop order notification website maintained by the SEC, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and [the Initial Purchase Shares and] the Purchase Shares are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and may be issued without any restrictive legend or stop transfer orders maintained against them.

 

    Very truly yours,

AIT Therapeutics Announces $20 Million Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Institutional Investor, Lincoln Park Capital Fund

 

Garden City, N.Y., and Rehovot, Israel, August 13, 2018 – AIT Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC:AITB) (“AIT Therapeutics or the “Company”),  a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company focused on developing inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) for the treatment of patients with respiratory conditions including serious lung infections and pulmonary hypertension, announced today that it has entered into a common stock purchase agreement and registration rights agreement (together, the “Agreements”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), a Chicago-based institutional investor. According to the terms of the Agreements the Company may, prior to filing a registration statement, elect to sell up to $526,500 worth of common stock to LPC at $4.50 per share and thereafter, pursuant to an effective registration statement, AIT Therapeutics will have the right at its sole discretion to sell to LPC the balance of up to $20.0 million worth of shares over a 36-month period. AIT Therapeutics will control the timing of any future investment and LPC will be obligated to make purchases in accordance with the Agreements. Proceeds will be used for the ongoing development of the NO generator and delivery system for use with a breathing mask and ventilators, as well as preparation for pivotal studies in bronchiolitis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infections.

 

“The availability of funds from LPC through these Agreements provides AIT with additional means to help in meeting our stated timelines for our three programs,” said Steven Lisi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AIT Therapeutics. “With an expected FDA 510(k) submission for our ventilator compatible system in early calendar 2019 and the potential start of pivotal studies in both bronchiolitis and NTM in late calendar 2019, we will get closer to our goal of providing significant benefits to patients and reward our shareholders.”

 

The Company may elect to make the initial sale at a fixed $4.50 per share, however thereafter there are no upper limits to the price per share LPC may pay to purchase the remaining common stock subject to the Agreement and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the then prevailing market prices of the Company’s shares at the time of each sale to LPC. No warrants, derivatives, financial or business covenants are associated with the Agreements and LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of shares of the Company’s common stock.  In consideration for entering into the Agreements and committing to fund up to $20.0 million, AIT Therapeutics paid LPC $500,000 as a cash commitment fee. The Agreements may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its sole discretion, without any cost or penalty.

 

A more detailed description of the Agreements is set forth in AIT Therapeutics Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statement

 

This press release contains “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, or intentions regarding our product offerings, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “likely,” “goal,” “assumes,” “targets” and similar expressions and/or the use of future tense or conditional constructions (such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should” and the like) and by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including risks related to: our approach to discover and develop novel drugs, which is unproven and may never lead to marketable products; our ability to fund and the results of further pre-clinical and clinical trials; obtaining, maintaining and protecting intellectual property utilized by our products; our ability to enforce our patents against infringers and to defend our patent portfolio against challenges from third parties; our ability to obtain additional funding to support our business activities; our dependence on third parties for development, manufacture, marketing, sales, and distribution of products; the successful development of our product candidates, all of which are in early stages of development; obtaining regulatory approval for products; competition from others using technology similar to ours and others developing products for similar uses; our dependence on collaborators; and our short operating history. We undertake no obligation to update, and we do not have a policy of updating or revising, these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.
