Item 1.01          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 28, 2019, KemPharm, Inc., a Delaware corporation referred to herein as we, us, our, the Company or KemPharm, entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we may sell to Lincoln Park up to $15.0 million of shares of our common stock, or the Purchase Shares, from time to time over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, and we shall issue an additional 120,200 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park as commitment shares under the Purchase Agreement, or the Commitment Shares.  Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to register the sale of the shares of our common stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a new registration statement.

 

After the Commencement Date (as defined below), on any business day over the term of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Lincoln Park with a purchase notice, each referred to herein as a Purchase Notice, directing Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 Purchase Shares per business day, or a Regular Purchase,  which amounts may be increased to up to 200,000 Purchase Shares depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale, in a purchase amount up to $2,000,000 per purchase, provided that Lincoln Park will not be required to buy shares pursuant to a Purchase Notice that was received by Lincoln Park on any business day on which the last closing trade price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market (or alternative national exchange in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) is below $1.00 per share.  The Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price per Purchase Share, or the Purchase Price, equal to the lesser of:

 

  the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date; and 
  the average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the ten consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of such shares. 

 

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Lincoln Park, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Lincoln Park with an accelerated purchase notice, or an Accelerated Purchase Notice, directing Lincoln Park to purchase an amount of stock, or an Accelerated Purchase, equal to up to the less of (i) three times the number of shares purchased pursuant to such Regular Purchase; and (ii) 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded during all or, if certain trading volume or market price thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date, the portion of the normal trading hours on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date prior to such time that any one of such thresholds is crossed, with such period of time on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date, referred to herein as the Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period, provided that Lincoln Park will not be required to buy Purchase Shares pursuant to an Accelerated Purchase Notice that was received by Lincoln Park on any business day on which the last closing trade price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market (or alternative national exchange in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) is below $1.50 per share. The purchase price per share for each such Accelerated Purchase will be equal to the lesser of:

 

  97% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the applicable Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date; and
  the closing sale price of our common stock on the applicable Accelerated Purchase date.

 

We may also direct Lincoln Park on any business day on which an Accelerated Purchase has been completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder have been properly delivered to Lincoln Park in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, to purchase an amount of stock, or an Additional Accelerated Purchase, equal to up to the less of (i) three times the number of shares purchased pursuant to such Regular Purchase; and (ii) 30% of the aggregate shares of our common stock traded during a certain portion of the normal trading hours on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, such period of time on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date is referred to herein as the Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period, provided that the closing price of our common stock on the business day immediately preceding such business day is not below $1.50 (subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement).  Additional Accelerated Purchase will be equal to the lower of:

 

  97% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date; and 
  the closing sale price of our common stock on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date. 

 

 

 

 

The Purchase Price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute the Purchase Price. The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 5,288,425 shares of common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, or the Exchange Cap, unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue Purchase Shares above the Exchange Cap, in which case the Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $2.3064 per share (which represents the average of the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market for the five business days immediately preceding the signing of the Purchase Agreement, plus an incremental amount to account for the issuance of the Commitment Shares to Lincoln Park); provided that at no time shall Lincoln Park (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 9.99% of our common stock.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and indemnification and termination provisions. Sales under the Purchase Agreement may commence only after certain conditions have been satisfied, the date on which all requisite conditions have been satisfied is referred to herein as the Commencement Date, which conditions include the delivery to Lincoln Park of a prospectus supplement covering the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares, approval for listing on Nasdaq Global Market of the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares, the issuance of the Commitment Shares to Lincoln Park, and the receipt by Lincoln Park of a customary opinion of counsel and other certificates and closing documents. We anticipate that such conditions will be satisfied on or around March 1, 2019. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our sole discretion, without any cost or penalty. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our common stock. While we have agreed to reimburse Lincoln Park for a limited portion of the fees it incurred in connection with the Purchase Agreement, we did not pay any additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate Lincoln Park in connection with the transaction. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future financings (other than restrictions on our ability to enter into variable rate transactions described in the Purchase Agreement), rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. We may deliver Purchase Notices under the Purchase Agreement, subject to market conditions, and in light of our capital needs from time to time and under the limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds that we receive under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The issuance of the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares will be registered pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-213926), or the Registration Statement, and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement to be filed on or around the Commencement Date. A copy of the legal opinion as to the legality of the shares of common stock subject to the Purchase Agreement will be filed as Exhibit 5.1 to our Annual Report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, by its nature, is incomplete. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will be filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

 

The Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of such agreements and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties thereto. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, including any representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties thereto and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties thereto. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in our annual, quarterly and current reports we may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the shares of our common stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

 

Additionally, on February 28, 2019, in connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we entered into an amendment, or the Amendment, with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., or Deerfield, to that certain Senior Secured Convertible Note, or the Deerfield Note, and Warrant, or the Deerfield Warrant,  previously issued by us to Deerfield. The Amendment, among other things, clarified that the anti-dilution protections contained in the Deerfield Convertible Note and Deerfield Warrant would not apply to the offerings contemplated under the Purchase Agreement or that certain Common Stock Sales Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2018, by and between us and RBC Capital Markets, LLC. The Amendment also includes a waiver from Deerfield regarding any rights it may have under our amended and restated investor rights agreement in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. Except as modified by the Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Deerfield Convertible Note and Deerfield Warrant remain in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to our to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

Celebration, FL – February 28, 2019 – KemPharm, Inc. (Nasdaq: KMPH), a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs, today reported its corporate and financial results for the quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2018, including an update on the KP415/KP484 partnering process and APADAZ® launch preparations.

 

“2018 was a period of significant accomplishment and value creation for KemPharm,” said Travis C. Mickle, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of KemPharm.  “We began the year with KP415 just entering into an efficacy trial and the human abuse potential trials had yet to kick-off, as well as APADAZ® awaiting FDA review.  By the close of 2018, KP415 was NDA-ready with efficacy and human abuse potential data unlike any methylphenidate product on the market today, and APADAZ was an approved product which had been successfully partnered with KVK Tech.  In 2018, we also added a new product to our pipeline, KP879, targeting a treatment opportunity – Stimulant Use Disorder (SUD) – for which there is no FDA-approved medication. In addition, we entered into a technology collaboration with twoXAR to develop novel prodrugs, and solidified our balance sheet to carry our plan forward.”

 

 

 

 

“With 2019 underway, our immediate focus is on KP415 and KP484.  Due to the recent government shutdown, our pre-NDA meeting with the FDA has been delayed into the second quarter. However, once that meeting is complete, we expect to file the NDA for KP415 shortly thereafter and also in the second quarter,” continued Dr. Mickle.  “With regard to the KP415/KP484 partnering process, we believe that we are in a strong position with late-stage discussions with a number of parties in a competitive process.  We have been working to advance the potential partners that were most active in December, and have also added additional parties since that time. While there are no assurances, we feel confident that this is a robust, competitive process with the potential to provide KP415/KP484 the best opportunity to maximize value for KemPharm.  We believe the added time and effort will be worth it.”

 

“Commercial activities for APADAZ continue to proceed according to plan, with KVK expecting to launch commercially in the second half of 2019,” concluded Dr. Mickle. “We continue to support KVK’s launch activities and payor outreach efforts.  Two essential items to support a successful launch were completed earlier this year when we received FDA approval of two additional dosage strengths of APADAZ in January, and the recent addition of APADAZ to compendia with pricing similar to current generics.”

 

Q4 and FY 2018 Financial Results:

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, KemPharm’s reported net loss was $5.2 million, or $0.20 per basic share and $0.21 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $10.6 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2017. Net loss for Q4 2018 was driven primarily by an operating loss of $9.3 million and net interest expense and other items of $1.6 million, partially offset by non-cash fair value adjustment income of $5.7 million. The operating loss of $9.3 million for Q4 2018 was an increase of $1.1 million compared to $8.2 million in Q4 2017, which was primarily due to increases of $0.8 million in research and development expenses and $0.4 million in general and administrative expenses, respectively.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, net loss was $56.5 million, or $3.15 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $43.4 million, or $2.96 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2017. FY 2018 net loss was driven primarily by operating loss of $55.9 million and net interest expense and other items of $6.5 million, partially offset by non-cash fair value adjustment income of $6.0 million. Operating loss for FY 2018 of $55.9 million was an increase of $22.5 million compared to the FY 2017 operating loss of $33.4 million, which was primarily due to an increase of $21.2 million in research and development expenses and severance expense of $1.6 million; partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in general and administrative expenses. 

 

As of December 31, 2018, total cash and investments, which is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, was $22.4 million, which was an increase of $8.3 million compared to September 30, 2018.

 

Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital:

 

KemPharm today also announced that it has entered into a common stock purchase agreement and registration rights agreement (together, the Agreements), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), a Chicago-based institutional and current KemPharm investor.  Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company has the right to sell, at its sole discretion, to LPC up to $15 million of common stock over a 36-month period.  KemPharm will control the timing of any sales to LPC and LPC will be obligated to make purchases of KemPharm common stock upon receipt of requests from KemPharm in accordance with the Agreements.  Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

 

 

 

There are no upper limits to the price per share LPC may pay to purchase up to the $15 million of common stock subject to the Agreements, and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the then prevailing market prices of the Company’s shares at the time of each sale to LPC as described in the Agreements.  As consideration for LPC’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Agreements, upon filing of the related prospectus supplement, KemPharm will issue 120,200 shares to LPC.  No warrants, derivatives, financial or business covenants are associated with the Agreements, and LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Agreements may be terminated by KemPharm at any time, at its sole discretion, without any cost or penalty.

 

A more detailed description of the Agreements is set forth in KemPharm’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC.

 

“Entering into this facility with Lincoln Park Capital adds flexibility for KemPharm as we continue working to submit the NDA for KP415 and other supporting activities leading up to potential approval of KP415,” said Dr. Mickle.  “This strengthens our balance sheet as we seek the best possible outcome from the KP415/KP484 partnering process, and we believe it provides the potential to extend our cash runway up to a potential PDUFA date for KP415.”

 

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in this offering, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale are unlawful prior to registration or qualification under securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
