The Underwritten Securities and the Option Securities are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities.” The Securities will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Underlying Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to a base indenture to be dated as of January 30, 2018, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture to such base indenture to be dated as of January 30, 2018 (collectively, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

This underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”), the Indenture and the Securities are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

 

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Underwriter concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:

 

1.Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217122) including a prospectus, relating to the Securities and certain other debt and equity securities to be issued by the Company from time to time. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement of the Company dated January 25, 2018 and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act together with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omitted Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the definitive Prospectus Supplement in the form first furnished to the Underwriter (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) for use in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities together with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omitted Rule 430 Information. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are

 



 

deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(1) If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriter thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriter and to such dealers as the Underwriter may designate such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Time of Sale Information is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriter thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriter and to such dealers as the Underwriter may designate such amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Information (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Time of Sale Information is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

7.Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a)Indemnification of the Underwriter. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act (a “Road Show”) or any Time of Sale Information (including any Time of Sale Information that has subsequently been amended), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

 

(b)Indemnification of the Company. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Road Show or any Time of Sale Information (including any Time of Sale Information that has subsequently been amended), it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the

 



 

following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of the Underwriter: the concession figure appearing in the fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting.”

 

(c)Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of the Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement and the Indemnified Person’s intention to settle at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement unless such Indemnifying Person has (a) reimbursed all undisputed amounts and only failed to reimburse amounts disputed in good faith and (b) provided detail regarding the good faith reasons for the failure to reimburse amounts requested by the Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause

 



 

(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(e)Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall the Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(f)Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

 

8.Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

 

9.Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option Securities, prior to the Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Underwriter, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

 

10. [reserved.]

 

11.Payment of Expenses.

 

(a)Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the

 



 

distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriter in connection with the performance of this Agreement, provided that the reimbursement for such fees under this Section 11(a)(v) and Section 11(a)(ix) shall not exceed a total of $75,000; (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the state or foreign securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriter); (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any conversion agent and paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any qualification or filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) in an amount not to exceed $10,000, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (x) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; and (xi) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Underlying Securities on the Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, the Underwriter will be solely responsible for the payment of fees and expenses of its counsel and other agents, if any, subject to clauses (v), (vi) and (ix) above.

 

(b)If (i) this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9 prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the Company for any reason (other than (x) for a termination pursuant to clauses (i), (iii) or (iv) of Section 9, or  (iii) the Underwriter declines to purchase the Securities because one or more of the conditions in Section 6 (other than pursuant to events described in (x) of clause (ii) of this Section 11(b) are not satisfied, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, should the events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above occur in connection with the offering and closing of the Option Securities only, such out-of-pocket expenses will be limited to such expenses attributable to the offering and closing of the Option Securities only.

 

12.Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of the Underwriter referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from the Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

 

13.Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriter contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriter.

January     , 2018

 

BTIG, LLC

825 Third Avenue, 6th Floor New York, New York  10022

 

Re: Proposed Public Offering by Senseonics Holdings, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, a stockholder and/or an officer and/or director of Senseonics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that BTIG, LLC (the “Underwriter”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company providing for the public offering of senior subordinated convertible notes (the “Offering”) by the Company (the “Notes”). In recognition of the benefit the Offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder and, if applicable, an officer and/or director, of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Underwriter that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the final prospectus supplement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, assign, transfer, lend, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise; or (iii) engage in any short selling of any Lock-Up Securities.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may, transfer the Lock-Up Securities, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter:

 

(a)       provided that (1) the Underwriter receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up period from each donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) with respect to clauses (i) through below, such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

 

(i)        as a bona fide gift or gifts or for bona fide estate planning purposes; or

 

(ii)          by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned; or

 

(iii)       to any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement,

 



 

“immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), or if the undersigned is a trust, to any beneficiary (including such beneficiary’s estate) of the undersigned; or

 

(iv)      as a distribution to limited partners, general partners, limited liability company members or stockholders of the undersigned; or

 

(v)       to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; or

 

(vi)      by operation of law, including pursuant to a domestic order, a negotiated divorce settlement or other court order; provided that to the extent a filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required by or on behalf of the undersigned, such filing shall indicate that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this clause (vi); or

 

(vii)    by exercise of any option or warrant for cash or transfer of Lock-Up Securities to the Company upon a vesting event of the Company’s securities, pursuant to arrangements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares or a right of first refusal with respect to transfers of such shares or upon the exercise or conversion of options or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities, in each case, on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise, provided that (1) any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (A) the filing relates to the circumstances described above, and (B) no Lock-Up Securities were sold by the undersigned and the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any other public filing or report regarding such transfers during the Lock-Up Period; or

 

(viii)    by any conversion of shares of preferred stock of the Company into shares of Common Stock of the Company, provided that any shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion remain subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement; or

 



 

(ix)    by transfer of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Lock-Up Securities involving a change of control of the Company approved by the Company’s board of directors, provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this lock-up agreement. For purposes of this lock-up agreement, “change of control” means the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter pursuant to the Offering), of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).

 

In addition, the restrictions on transfer and disposition of the Lock-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period shall not apply to the repurchase of Lock-Up Securities by the Company in connection with the termination of the undersigned’s employment or other service with the Company, provided that to the extent a filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required by or on behalf of the undersigned, such filing shall indicate that the disposition of Lock-Up Securities was made back to the Company in connection with the undersigned’s employment termination.

 

Nothing in this lock-up agreement shall preclude the establishment of a new trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act; provided, that (i) no public report or filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be required during the Lock-Up Period, (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding the establishment of such plan during the Lock-Up Period, and (iii) no sales are made during the Lock-Up Period pursuant to such plan.

 

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. This lock-up agreement shall automatically terminate, and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) February 28, 2018, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date (provided, that the Company may by written notice to the undersigned prior to February 28, 2018 extend such date for a period of up to an additional three months), (b) the date the Company notifies the Underwriter in writing prior to the date of execution of the Underwriting Agreement that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering or (c) the date the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Notes to be sold thereunder.

 

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are relying upon this lock-up agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering. The undersigned further agrees that this lock-up agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into this lock-up agreement.

 

This lock-up agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this lock-up agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Fundamental Change:

 

If the Issuer undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Issuer to repurchase for cash all or part of their notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

 

 

 

 

See “Description of Notes—Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

 

 

 

Interest Make-Whole Payment:

 

Holders who convert their notes on or after the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the notes but prior to February 1, 2021 (other than a conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement)) will in certain circumstances receive an interest make-whole payment equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the notes to be converted had such notes remained outstanding from the conversion date through February 1, 2021 (the ‘‘interest make- whole payment’’).

 

 

 

 

 

The Issuer will pay any interest make-whole payment by delivering shares of common stock. The number of shares a converting holder will receive will be the number of shares equal to the amount of the interest make-whole payment to be paid to such holder, divided by the product of (x) 95% and (y) the simple average of the daily VWAP (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) of the shares for the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date.

 

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares the Issuer may deliver in connection with a conversion of the notes, including those delivered in connection with an interest make- whole payment, will not exceed 425 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights— Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. In addition, if in connection with any conversion of notes, the conversion rate is adjusted as described under “Description of Notes—Increase in Conversion Rate upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, then such holder will not receive the interest make-whole payment with respect to such

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case

 

·                  if the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the amount by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the amount of the conversion rate increase set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

 

·                  if the stock price is greater than $10.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the conversion rate will not be increased; and

 

·                 if the stock price is less than $2.88 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the conversion rate will not be increased.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of notes exceed ###-###-#### shares of the Issuer’s common stock in the event of a make-whole fundamental change, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

Amendment No. 1 to
Underwriting Agreement

 

January 29, 2018

 

BTIG, LLC

825 Third Avenue, 6th Floor

New York, New York 10022

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference in this Amendment No. 1 to Underwriting Agreement (the “Amendment”) is made to that certain Underwriting Agreement dated January 26, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between Senseonics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and BTIG, LLC (the “Underwriter”), in connection with the issuance of $50,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 5.25% convertible senior subordinated notes of the Company due 2023 and, at the option of the Underwriter, up to an additional $7,500,000 principal amount of the Company’s 5.25% convertible senior subordinated notes of the Company due 2023 (the “Notes”). Each of the Company and the Underwriter hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.                                      After pricing terms were agreed upon and the Underwriting Agreement was executed by the Company and the Underwriter on January 26, 2018, a certain Pricing Term Sheet, which was appended as Exhibit B to the Underwriting Agreement, was filed by the Company as Exhibit 99.2 to a Form 8-K at 8:44 am EST on January 26, 2018 (the “Form 8-K”), which contained, among other things, a table (the “Table”) setting forth the amounts by which the conversion rate applicable to the Notes would be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for a noteholder that converts its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement filed by the Company on January 25, 2018). After the Form 8-K was filed, it was decided by the Company and the Underwriter to change the amounts contained in the Table in response to input from investors. As a result of the foregoing agreement to amend the Table, a Form 8-K/A was filed by the Company at 5:17 pm EST on January 26, 2018 (the “Form 8-K/A”), which contained the amended Table and other related relevant terms (collectively, the “Amended Terms”).

 

2.                                      As a result of the filing of the Form 8-K/A and the agreement between the Company and the Underwriter as to the Amended Terms, the Underwriting Agreement is amended pursuant to this Amendment by replacing the portions of the Pricing Term Sheet appended to the Underwriting Agreement as Exhibit B with the Amended Terms, as applicable.

 

3.                                      The remainder of the Underwriting Agreement shall remain unmodified and in

full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms “Time of Sale” and “Time of Sale Information” shall continue to have the respective meanings ascribed thereto under the Underwriting Agreement, without modification hereby.
