Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 4, 2020, BiomX Inc., or the registrant, entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM, or the Sale Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, as agent, pursuant to which the registrant may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million from time to time through Jefferies.

 

Any sales of shares of common stock pursuant to the Sale Agreement will be made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251151), or the Registration Statement, and the prospectus contained therein, filed on December 4, 2020, after such Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Jefferies may sell common stock (A) in negotiated transactions with our consent or (B) by any other method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including block transactions, sales made directly on the NYSE American or sales made into any other existing trading market for the registrant’s common stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sale Agreement, Jefferies will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares of the registrant’s common stock from time to time, based upon its instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other parameters or conditions that we may impose). The registrant will pay to Jefferies a cash commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any shares of common stock by Jefferies under the Sale Agreement. The registrant and Jefferies have also provided each other with customary indemnification rights.

 

The registrant is not obligated to make any sales of common stock under the Sale Agreement and no assurance can be given that it will sell any shares under the Sale Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or number of shares that it will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place. The Sale Agreement may be terminated by either party as set forth in the Sale Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Sale Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Registration Statement relating to the common stock to be offered and sold under the Sale Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. The common stock may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective.

 

The above disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
