Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 16, 2021, Rubius Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Jefferies LLC and Guggenheim Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell up to 7,931,034 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), which includes 1,034,482 shares (the “Optional Shares”) that may be sold pursuant to a 30-day option to purchase additional shares granted to the Underwriters (the “Offering”). The Shares were offered and sold in the Offering at the public offering price of $29.00 per share and were purchased by the Underwriters from the Company at a price of $27.26 per share.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-232955), which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $187.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, to advance development of its ongoing and future clinical programs, to further develop its technology platform and to continue to advance its preclinical pipeline. Any remaining proceeds will be used for other ongoing research and development activities and general corporate purposes, such as working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures, including those related to its in-house manufacturing facility.

 

The Offering is expected to close on March 19, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.  In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants and also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company’s executive officers and directors and certain shareholders entered into agreements in substantially the forms included as exhibits to the Underwriting Agreement filed hereto, providing for a 90-day “lock-up” period with respect to sales of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of the Underwriting Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Underwriting Agreement attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

A copy of the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP relating to the validity of the Shares issued in the Offering is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
