On February 1, 2018, OncoSec Medical Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Piper Jaffray & Co., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, 13,333,334 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.50 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Shares”). In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are expected to close on February 5, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is being attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $17.9 million, assuming no exercise of the option to purchase additional Shares and after deducting underwriting discounts and commission and estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with this offering.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
