THIS ORDINARY SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the thirtieth day of January 2015 by and among Theravance Biopharma, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Investor”).

 

WHEREAS, Mylan Ireland Limited, a limited company organized and existing under the laws of Ireland and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Investor, and Theravance Biopharma R&D, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, have entered into that certain Development and Commercialization Agreement dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which, the parties desire to establish a broad collaboration for the global development and commercialization of TD-4208 in a nebulized form both as standalone monotherapy and in combination or co-formulation with other chemically distinct and therapeutically active compounds; and

 

WHEREAS, the Investor and the Company are entering into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Investor shall purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company.

 

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.                                      Purchase and Sale of Shares.

 

1.1                               Sale and Issuance of Ordinary Shares.

 

(a)                                 On or prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Company shall have authorized the sale and issuance of its Ordinary Shares of a par value of U.S. $0.00001 each to the Investor (the “Shares” or the “Ordinary Shares”).  The Shares shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Restated Articles”).

 

(b)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing, 1,585,790 Shares at a price per share of $18.91802, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of Thirty Million United States Dollars (U.S. $30,000,000.00) (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”).

 

1.2                               Closing.  The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place at the offices of Theravance Biopharma US, Inc., 901 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, CA 94080.  On February 2, 2015, the Investor will initiate an irrevocable wire transfer in the amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price to an account designated in writing by the Company.  Immediately upon the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Purchase Price, the purchase and sale of the Shares shall be consummated (which time is designated as the “Closing”).  Immediately following the Closing, the Company shall instruct the Company’s transfer agent to record Investor’s purchase of the Shares on the Company’s register of members.  As used herein,

 



 

Business Day” shall mean any weekday that is not a day on which banking institutions in the City of San Francisco are authorized or obligated to close.

 

2.                                      Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that:

 

2.1                               Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  The Company is an exempted company with limited liability duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and has all requisite corporate power and authority to (i) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to issue and sell the Shares hereunder, (iii) to perform its obligations under the Restated Articles, and (iv) to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

2.2                               Authorization.  All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, and the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance), sale and delivery of the Shares being sold hereunder has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, other equitable remedies, or general principles of equity.

 

2.3                               Valid Issuance of Ordinary Shares.  The Shares that are being purchased by the Investor hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and registered on the register of members of the Company for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws.  The Shares that are being purchased by the Investor hereunder will not be subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been waived or complied with.

 

2.4                               Governmental Consents.  No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except certain post-closing filings as may be required pursuant to federal securities laws and under the “Blue Sky” laws of the various states.

 

2.5                               Offering.  Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of any applicable state and federal securities laws, and neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company

 

2



 

under circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement under the Securities Act (as defined below) and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder) hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

 

2.6                               Litigation.  There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company that questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Company to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  The Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.

 

2.7                               Compliance with Other Instruments.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not violate or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

 

2.8                               SEC Reports; Financial Statements.  The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the foregoing materials being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”), on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  No executive officer of the Company has failed in any respect to make the certifications required of him or her under Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

3.2                               Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon the Investor’s representation to the Company, which by the Investor’s execution of this Agreement the Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by the Investor will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of applicable securities laws.  By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

 

6



 

3.3                               Disclosure of Information.  The Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.  The Investor acknowledges that it has read the “Risk Factors” section contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 12, 2014 and understands the Company’s business and recognizes that a purchase of the Shares involves risks and uncertainties.  The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to rely thereon.

 

3.4                               Investment Experience.  The Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to protect its own interests, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.  The Investor also represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

3.5                               Accredited Investor.  The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D adopted pursuant to the Act, as presently in effect.

 

3.6                               Restricted Securities.  The Investor understands that the Shares it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

 

4.                                      Interim Covenant.  During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing, the Company shall conduct its business in the usual, regular and ordinary course consistent with past practice.

 

5.                                      Conditions of Investor’s Obligations at Closing.  The obligations of the Investor under subsection 1.1(b) of this Agreement are subject to the fulfillment on or before the Closing of each of the following conditions, the waiver of which shall not be effective against the Investor if it does not consent thereto:

7.2                               Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by mutual written agreement of the Investor and the Company; (b) by the Investor or Company if the Closing shall not have occurred by March 2, 2015; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.2 shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement; or (c) by the Investor or Company if ninety days after notice to the other party of any Legal Requirement in effect which would have the effect of making the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibit or prevent the consummation of the

7.5                               Restrictions on Transfers.  Any legend referring to the stock transfer instructions and record notations of the Shares shall be removed if: (i) those securities have been sold pursuant to a registration statement that is then effective under the Securities Act or (ii) the Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of those securities may be made without registration or qualification.

 

7.6                               Survival of Warranties.  The warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing and shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investor or the Company.
