Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 27, 2023, Xencor, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with SVB Securities LLC (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell through the Sales Agent up to $200 million of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c) (the “Placement Shares”) of the Sales Agreement.
The Common Stock sold in the offering will be issued pursuant to a sales agreement prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2023 and the accompanying base prospectus dated February 27, 2023 forming part of the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-270030) filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), to such sell Placement Shares up to the number or amount specified in and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement.
The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Placement Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company or the Sales Agent may, upon notice to the other party in writing, suspend any sale of Placement Shares, subject to the limitations set forth in the Sales Agreement. The offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of the Common Stock under the Sales Agreement having an aggregate gross sales price equal to $200 million and (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement by the Company and the Sales Agent as permitted therein.
The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the registration statement in the Sales Agreement and also agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sales of the Common Stock to or through the Sales Agent for general corporate purposes, which may include research and development, capital expenditures, working capital, and general administrative expenses. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to its own, although it has no current plans, commitments or agreements to do so.
The compensation to the Sales Agent will be an amount not to exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares sold under the Sales Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Sales Agreement, copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
