Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Public Offering
On March 11, 2021, Savara Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC and Piper Sandler & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale and issuance of (i) an aggregate of 45,785,828 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 32,175,172 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The offering price to the public of the Shares is $1.45 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $1.363 per share. The offering price to the public of the Pre-Funded Warrants is $1.449 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share offering price for the Shares less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Pre-Funded Warrants from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $1.362 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 11,694,150 shares of Common Stock at the same price per share as the Shares.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the public offering will be approximately $106.2 million or approximately $122.2 million if the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full.
The Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225994). A prospectus supplement relating to the public offering will be filed with the SEC.
The public offering is expected to close on March 15, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
