Evelo Biosciences, Inc.
Common Stock Purchase Warrant
Evelo Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, a Minnesota charitable corporation (“Mayo”) (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the Exercisability Date and on or before 11:59 p.m. (Cambridge, Massachusetts time) on the Expiration Date (as defined below), the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with subsection 1.2(g) below at a purchase price of $0.01 per share (the “Purchase Price”), as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4 hereof.
| 1. | Research Agreement; Definitions. |
| 1.1 | This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued pursuant to that certain Research and License Agreement, effective as of May 16, 2016, between the Company and Mayo (the “Research Agreement”). Mayo agrees and acknowledges that the issuance of this Warrant to Mayo satisfies and fulfills in their entirety the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of the Research Agreement. |
| 1.2 | Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning provided in the Research Agreement. Unless defined in the Research Agreement or elsewhere in this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings: |
| | (a) | “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. |
| | (b) | “Change of Control” shall mean a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended and/or restated from time to time after the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and irrespective of any treatment pursuant to COMPANY’s Certificate of |
| | Incorporation, the contemplated merger between COMPANY and Epiva shall in no event constitute a Change of Control or Deemed Liquidation Event for purposes of this Warrant. |
| | (c) | “Exercisability Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (x) the date of the closing of the Next Institutional Financing, (y) the consummation of a Change of Control and (z) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Date of Issuance of this Warrant. |
| | (d) | “Next Institutional Financing” shall mean first issuance and sale of shares of convertible preferred stock by the Company after the date hereof: (a) of at least $10,000,000; and (b) to include, at least in part, institutional investors that are not stockholders or otherwise affiliated with COMPANY. For the sake of clarity, the contemplated merger with Epiva would not constitute Next Institutional Financing. |
| | (e) | “Research Budget” shall mean, for the purpose of determining the Warrant Shares, at the time of any determination of the Research Budget in accordance with the terms hereof, the sum of (x) the agreed upon dollar values of the Research Projects completed through such determination date (as determined in good faith by the Board), not to exceed $1,000,000 (one million dollars) in the aggregate, plus (y) a 15% premium for the agreed upon dollar values of the Research Projects completed before the Exercisability Date (as determined in good faith by the Board), less (z) a deduction consistent with Section 3.01(b) of the Research Agreement in the amount of an election, if any, by Company to pay cash in lieu of the issuance of shares upon exercise of this warrant for Research Projects completed on or after the Exercisability Date. |
| | (i) | By way of example and in no way changing the above definition of Research Budget, if the dollar value of a first Research Project completed before the Exercisability Date is $250,000 and the dollar value of a second Research Project completed before the Exercisability Date is $600,000, then Research Budget shall mean $977,500 (based on $850,000 plus 15% of $850,000 (or $127,500)). |
| | (ii) | By way of a second example and in no way changing the above definition of Research Budget, if (A) the dollar value of a first Research Project completed before the Exercisability Date is $250,000, (B) the dollar value of a second Research Project completed on or after the Exercisability Date is $600,000, and (C) Company does not elect in its sole discretion to pay any portion of the $600,000 in cash in lieu of the issuance of shares upon exercise of this warrant, then Research Budget shall mean $887,500 (based on $850,000 plus 15% of $250,000 (or $37,500)). |
| | (iii) | By way of a third example and in no way changing the above definition of Research Budget, if (A) the dollar value of a first Research Project completed before the Exercisability Date is $250,000, (B) the dollar value of a second Research Project completed on or after the Exercisability Date |
- 2 -
| | is $600,000, and (C) Company elects in its sole discretion to pay $300,000 in cash in lieu of the issuance of shares upon exercise of this warrant for such portion of the $600,000 described in Section 1.2(c)(iii)(B), then Research Budget shall mean $587,500 (based on $550,000 plus 15% of $250,000 (or $37,500)). |
| | (f) | “Series Preferred” shall mean the convertible preferred stock of the Company that is issued and sold in the Next Institutional Financing. |
| | (g) | “Warrant Shares” shall mean, at the time of any determination of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, such whole number (with any fraction rounded down) of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) as is equal to the quotient of (a) the amount of the Research Budget at the time of such determination divided by (b) the per share price at which the Company most recently sold shares of Series Preferred to institutional investors in the Next Institutional Financing, but in no event less than $7.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar event), or if there not been a Next Institutional Financing at the time of any such determination, such denominator shall be $7.50 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar event); provided, however, that the number of Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall at no point exceed, in the aggregate, 153,333 shares of Common Stock (as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4 hereof and which maximum assumes all Research Projects are completed before the Exercisability Date). The amounts set forth in clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence and the proviso to such sentence shall be subject to appropriate adjustment as determined by the Board in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series Preferred is not 1.0. The number of Warrant Shares issuable from time to time under this Warrant shall be determined in good faith by the Board at the first meeting of the Board following the Exercisability Date and, thereafter, following notification from Mayo under the Research Agreement indicating its good faith belief that Mayo has completed a Research Project under the Research Agreement after the Exercisability Date. |
| 2. | Termination of Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent not previously exercised, converted or terminated, this Warrant and all of the Registered Holder’s rights hereunder shall immediately terminate in their entirety, and thereafter this Warrant shall not be or become exercisable in any respect, upon the earliest to occur of: |
| | (a) | The fifth (5th) anniversary of the Deemed Original Issue Date of this Warrant; |
| | (b) | The termination of the Research Agreement by Mayo (or a successor or assignee of Mayo under such agreement); |
- 3 -
| | (c) | Any material breach of the Research Agreement or the terms of this Warrant by the Registered Holder (including by its officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners, agents, or representatives); |
| | (d) | The closing of the Initial Public Offering (as defined below); |
| | (e) | The consummation of any Change of Control; and |
| | (f) | The voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company. |
The date on which this Warrant expires or terminates pursuant to this Section 2 is referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”.
| 3.1 | Exercise for Cash. The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise the then exercisable portion of this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time, by surrendering this Warrant, with the Notice of Exercise appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by (i) payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of vested Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise or (ii) an executed counterpart to all agreements among the Company and its stockholders that the Company reasonably requests the Registered Holder to enter into in connection with such exercise of this Warrant. |
| 3.2 | Net Exercise. In lieu of any exercise pursuant to subsection 3.1 hereof, the Registered Holder may elect to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the “Conversion Right”), by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of the Registered Holder’s intention to exercise the Conversion Right, into that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula: |
| | | | |
| Where: | | |
| | |
| X | | = | | The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon exercise of the Conversion Right. |
| | |
| Y | | = | | The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised. |
| | |
| A | | = | | The Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Warrant Share at the time the Conversion Right is exercised. |
| | |
| B | | = | | Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
- 4 -
For purposes of subsection 3.2, “Fair Market Value” shall mean:
(a) If the Warrant is exercised in connection with and contingent upon the Initial Public Offering, and if the Company’s registration statement relating to such Initial Public Offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.
(b) If the Warrant is exercised in connection with and contingent upon a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended and/or restated from time to time after the date hereof, then the purchase price per share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
If neither of (a) or (b) is applicable, then the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
| 3.3 | Exercise Date. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 3.1 above together with the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) thereof or the applicable date of conversion as provided in subsection 3.2 above (any such day, the “Exercise Date”). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 3.4 below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates. |
| 3.4 | Issuance of Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Notice of Exercise, together with the aggregate Purchase Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased, at its principal office, or by the stock transfer agent or warrant agent of the Company at its office, the Registered Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the applicable Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Registered Holder. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, prepare a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased in the name of the Registered Holder. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after the surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Registered Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. |
| 3.5 | Automatic Exercise. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, it shall be deemed to have been automatically converted in accordance with subsection 3.2 hereof (even if not surrendered) as of immediately before its expiration, involuntary termination or cancellation if the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share exceeds the Purchase Price at such time, unless the Registered Holder notifies the Company in writing to the contrary at least three days prior to such automatic exercise. |
- 5 -
| 4.1 | Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the applicable subdivision or combination becomes effective. |
| 4.2 | Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price then in effect by a fraction: |
| | (a) | the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, as applicable, and |
| | (b) | the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution, as applicable; |
provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection 4.2 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
| 4.3 | Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 4.1 or 4.2, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. |
| 4.4 | Adjustment for Reorganization. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 4.1 or 4.2) collectively, a “Reorganization”), then, |
- 6 -
| | subject to Section 2, following such Reorganization, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. |
| 4.5 | Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, the Company shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Purchase Price). The Company shall, upon the reasonable written request at any time of the Registered Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant. |
| 5. | Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Purchase Price then in effect. |
| 6. | Investment Representations. The initial Registered Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows: |
| 6.1 | Investment. It is acquiring the Warrant, and (if and when it exercises this Warrant) it will acquire the Warrant Shares, for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same; and the Registered Holder has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof. |
