On April 7, 2025, ImmunityBio, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with the purchaser named therein (the “Investor”) for the purchase and sale of 29,024,768 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase an additional 29,024,768 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.101 per share, for a purchase price of $2.584 per share and accompanying warrant, generating gross proceeds from the offering of approximately $75 million before deducting our estimated offering expenses. The warrants will become immediately exercisable after the issuance date and expire five years after the initial issuance date. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about April 9, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The securities are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to a prospectus supplement and an accompanying prospectus forming part of a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-278770).
The SPA contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Investor, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the SPA were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant and the SPA, and 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 the Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant and the SPA that are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
