Program
On February 4, 2021, Ocuphire filed a Form S-3 shelf registration under the Securities Act of 1933 which was declared effective by the SEC on February 12, 2021 (the “2021 Shelf”) under which the
Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, securities having an aggregate offering price of up to $125
million. In connection with the 2021 Shelf, on March 11, 2021, Ocuphire entered into a sales agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“JonesTrading”) under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole
discretion, to or through JonesTrading, acting as agent and/or principal, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $40
million (the “ATM”). During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 1,848,980 and 2,778,890 shares of common stock were sold under the ATM for aggregate gross proceeds in the amount of $4.4 million and $13.5 million, respectively, before
deducting issuance expenses, including the placement agent’s fees, legal and accounting expenses, in the amount of $133,000 and $0.4 million, respectively.
Registered Direct Offering
On June 4, 2021, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement for a registered direct offering (“RDO”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”). Pursuant to the terms of the
placement agency agreement, AGP on June 8, 2021 sold an aggregate of 3,076,923 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 1,538,461 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “RDO Warrants”) at an offering price of $4.875 per one share and 0.50 RDO Warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million, before AGP’s fees and related offering expenses in the amount of approximately $1.1 million. The proceeds were allocated between the relative fair values of common stock and warrants at the sale date. The purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the
Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The RDO was made pursuant to the Company’s 2021 shelf registration.
The RDO Warrants have an exercise price of $6.09 per share, are exercisable from the
initial issuance date of June 8, 2021, and will expire five years following the initial issuance date. As of December 31, 2022, 1,538,461 RDO Warrants were outstanding.
Subject to limited
exceptions, a holder of a RDO Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its RDO Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of a holder prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%)
of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that upon prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership
limitation, provided further that in no event shall the beneficial ownership limitation exceed 9.99%.
