Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 20, 2018, Orgenesis Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as agent (“Cantor”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through Cantor, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $25 million (the “Shares”).
Under the Sales Agreement, Cantor will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market to sell Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. Under the Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell Shares by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other existing trading market for the Company’s common stock. Cantor’s obligations to sell Shares under the Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature.
The Company is not obligated to sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement. The offering of Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Sales Agreement by Cantor or the Company, as permitted therein.
The Company will pay Cantor a commission rate of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares and has agreed to provide Cantor with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company also agreed to reimburse Cantor for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its outside legal counsel, not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate, in connection with entering into the Sales Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The opinion of Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Baratz LLP, the Company’s outside legal counsel, regarding the validity of the Shares that will be issued pursuant to the Sales Agreement is also filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the common stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of common stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
Shares sold under the Sales Agreement will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-223777) (the “Registration Statement”) and a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus that the Company expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Shares shortly after the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Company cautions you that statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s ability to sell Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that any of these statements, results or sales will be achieved or completed due in part to risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business, including those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018 and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on October 12, 2018. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update this report to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This caution is made under the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
