Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement; Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On November 7, 2006, Cytogen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), announced that it had entered into purchase agreements with certain institutional investors for the sale of 7,092,203 shares of its Common Stock and 3,546,108 warrants to purchase shares of its Common Stock at a price of $2.82 per unit, through a private placement. The warrants will have a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.32 per share. The transaction is expected to provide gross proceeds of approximately $20 million to the Company before deducting costs associated with the offering. The Company expects to use the proceeds to support the commercial launch of CAPHOSOL®, which Cytogen in-licensed in October 2006, advance its clinical development programs, pursue additional in-licensing opportunities, and other general corporate purposes. The parties expect to close the transaction as soon as possible. The placement agents in this transaction will receive compensation consisting of a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds.
The securities sold in this private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Act. In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), to be entered into by the Company and the investors in connection with the closing of the financing, the Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 within 30 days after the closing of the transaction for purposes of registering, pursuant to the Act, the shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants acquired by the investors. The Company believes that the issuance of the securities in this transactions were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
A complete copy of each of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the form of Warrant, the form of Registration Rights Agreement, and the related press release of the Company, dated November 7, 2006, are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 99.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
