Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As of March 31, 2005, Arrowhead Research Corporation (the “Company”) sold 2,640,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Stock”) in Insert Therapeutics, Inc. (“Insert”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Series C Stock was sold by the Company for an aggregate of $2,640,000 in cash in a private sale to accredited investors. As a condition to this sale, Arrowhead agreed to convert 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Stock”) of Insert into 5,000,000 shares of Series C Stock.

 

The Series C Stock ranks junior to the Series B Stock. Specifically, the Series B Shares are entitled to a liquidation preference in priority to the liquidation preference granted to the Series C Shares. However, as part of the negotiated sale, the Company agreed to subordinate its Series B Stock liquidation preference to the liquidation preference of the Series C Shares. As result, in the event of a liquidation event, the holders of Series C Shares will be entitled to participate pari passu with the outstanding Series B Stock, and ahead of the Company’s Series B Stock, to (1) receive $0.20411, plus any declared but unpaid dividends or (2) participate ratably (on an as-converted basis) with the Common Stock and any other class of capital stock then outstanding.

 

After giving effect to the sale of Series C Stock, the Company continues to own a majority of the Series B Stock, individually, and a majority of Insert’s capital stock, on a fully diluted basis. The Company also maintains the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of Insert, under the terms of the previously existing agreements. The Series C Stock and Insert’s Common Stock will vote together, as a single class, unless required by Delaware law. In the event a proposal is approved with the vote of the holders of any Series C Stock and rejected by a majority of Insert’s outstanding Common Stock, then the votes cast by the Series C Stock on that proposal shall be disregarded, and the votes cast with respect to shares of Series C Stock shall not be counted towards determining a quorum or a majority vote. All private purchasers in the Series C Stock transaction are unaffiliated with the Company, other than Dr. Robert Ching, who beneficially owns over 10% of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Seller has full power and authority and has taken all required corporate and other action necessary to permit it to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations contained in this Agreement, and to issue the Series C Shares hereunder. This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed by, and is the valid and binding obligation of, Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement, nor the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder, requires the consent, approval or authorization of any person or governmental authority, which consent, approval or authorization has not been obtained.

 

1


2.2 Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not: (i) conflict with or result in any default under any material contract, obligation or commitment of Seller or any provision of Seller’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) result in the creation of any Lien (as defined below) of any kind, or the interest of a vendor or lessor under any conditional sale agreement, capitalized lease or other title retention agreement of any nature upon any of the properties or assets of Seller, or (iii) violate any instrument, agreement, judgment, decree or order, or any statute, rule or regulation of any federal, state or local government or agency, applicable to Seller or to which Seller is a party, except in each case for such conflicts, defaults, Liens or violations that shall not have a material adverse effect on Seller. “Liens” means all liens, claims, options, charges, pledges, security interests, voting agreements, trusts, encumbrances, rights, mortgages or restrictions of any nature.

 

2.3 Capitalization.

Since June 2004, the Company’s financial results have been consolidated as part of Seller’s financial statements reflected in Seller’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Seller has filed all required forms, reports and documents with the SEC since January 2004 (the “SEC Reports”), each of which complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as in effect on the dates such forms, reports and documents were filed. None of such SEC Reports, including any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by reference therein, contained, when filed, any untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statement therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading. The audited financial statements of Seller included in the SEC Reports were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States and present fairly the financial position of Seller, and its consolidated subsidiaries, as of the dates thereof.

 

ARTICLE 3

 

Representation and Warranties of the Purchasers

 

As a material inducement to the Seller to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to the Company as follows:

 

3.1 Acquisition of Series C Shares. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Seller, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Series C Shares to be received by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

 

3.2 No Registration. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Series C Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any other applicable blue sky or state securities law, on the grounds that the sale of the Series C Shares from Seller to Purchaser contemplated by this Agreement is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the regulations thereunder and are exempt from qualification pursuant to comparable available exceptions in various states, and that the Seller’s reliance upon such exemptions is predicated upon Purchaser’s representations set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Series C Shares and/or the Common Stock into which the Series C Shares may convert must be held indefinitely

 

2


unless the Series C Shares and/or the Common Stock into which the Series C Shares may convert are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and other applicable blue sky and state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

3.3 Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, or payment of any tax, fee, fine or penalty to, any governmental or regulatory authority (domestic or foreign) or any other person (either governmental or private), is required to be obtained or made by Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

3.4 Investment Representations. Purchaser (a) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s prospective investment hereunder; (b) has the ability to bear the economic risks of Purchaser’s prospective investment, including a complete loss of the investment; (c) has been furnished with and has had access to such information as Purchaser has considered necessary to make a determination as to its investment hereunder; (d) has had all questions which have been asked by Purchaser satisfactorily answered by the Company; (e) has not been offered the Series C Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising; and (f) has not relied on any representations and warranties of the Company other than those contained in this Agreement.

 

3.5 Accredited Investor Status. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and is an “institutional investor” within the meaning of applicable state statutes and the regulations thereunder.

 

3.6 Restrictions on Transfer. Purchaser understands that unless and until the Company (i) registers the Series C Shares and/or the Common Stock into which the Series C Shares may be converted with the SEC pursuant to Section 12, (ii) becomes subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (iii) supplies information pursuant to Rule 15c2 11 thereunder, or (iv) if a registration statement covering the Series C Shares (or a filing pursuant to the exemption from registration under Regulation A of the Securities Act covering the Series C Shares) under the Securities Act is in effect when Purchaser desires to sell Series C Shares, Purchaser may be required to hold the Series C Shares for an indeterminate period. Each Purchaser also understands that any sale of the Common Stock into which the Series C Shares may convert that might be made by Purchaser in reliance upon Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of those rules. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that all certificates representing the Series C Shares (as well as the Common Stock into which the Series C Shares may be converted), shall bear the following legend (and any other legend that may be required under any Federal or state securities law), until such Series C Shares and/or shares of Common Stock are registered under the securities Act, exchanged for securities registered under the securities Act, or until the holder of the Series C Shares and/or Common Stock delivers an opinion of its legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such legend is no longer necessary.

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 NOR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, SUCH QUALIFICATION AND REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. ANY TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS FURTHER SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHICH ARE SET FORTH HEREIN.”

 

3


3.7 Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

3.8 ERISA. Purchaser will not acquire the Series C Shares with the assets of any “employee benefit plan” as defined in ERISA and no “prohibited transactions” under ERISA and the Code will occur in connection with the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Series C Shares.

 

3.9 Taxes. Purchaser (a) understands that there may be tax consequences resulting from the purchase, ownership and/or sale of Series C Shares, and (b) represents and warrants that (i) Purchaser has had a full opportunity to seek the advice of independent counsel respecting this investment and the tax risks and implications thereof, (ii) Purchaser has relied only upon such independent tax advice and not upon any tax counsel from, or discussions with, Seller or the Company or their respective representatives, and (iii) has never been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that Purchaser is subject to 20% backup withholding.

 

3.10 Risk Factors. Purchaser has read and understands the Risk Factors in Seller’s SEC Reports and hereby represents and warrants that in participating in Share Sale, Purchaser is solely and fully undertaking the risk of investment in the Series C Shares, excluding only any loss that may result primarily and directly from fraud on the part of the Company.
