First Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement and Notes

 

On December 29, 2017, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Note Purchase Agreement and Notes (each as defined below) with each of the purchasers (the “Purchasers”) party to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 1, 2017, by and among the Napo  and the Purchasers (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the First Amendment, Napo amended the original issue discount exchangeable promissory notes previously issued to the Purchasers on March 1, 2017 (the “First Tranche Notes”) and April 27, 2017 (the “Second Tranche Notes” and together with the First Tranche Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (a) increase the principal amount outstanding under the First Tranche Notesand the Second Tranche Notes by twelve percent (12%), (b) lower the price at which the Notes are exchangeable for shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) from $0.56 per share to $0.20 per share, and (c) extend the maturity date of the First Tranche Notes from December 1, 2017 to February 15, 2018 and the Second Tranche Notes from January 27, 2018 to April 1, 2018.

 

In connection with the First Amendment, the Company also issued 2,492,084 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock to the Purchasers as repayment of $299,050.08 principal amount of the First Tranche Notes.  Following such repayment and the 12% increase to the outstanding balance of the Notes described above, $435,949.92 and $735,000.00 principal amount remain outstanding under the First Tranche Notes and Second Tranche Notes, respectively.

 

The Notes and the Shares were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement includes a blocker provision that prevents the issuance of Exchange Shares if such issuance, when aggregated with prior issuances of Exchange Shares under the Note Purchase Agreement, would violate NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635, unless stockholder approval is first obtained by the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Exchange Shares on or before January 31, 2018.

 

The form of Note and the Note Purchase Agreement are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and such documents are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Notes and the Securities Purchase Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
