Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 1, 2016 Palatin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Inc., on behalf of itself and as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) of Series A Units consisting of 25,384,616 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 12,692,310 shares of its common stock for a $16.5 million aggregate principal amount. Each Series A Unit consists of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) one Series J Warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of Common Stock (the “Series J Warrants”).
The Series A Units will be sold at a price to the public of $0.65 per unit. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Series A Units, after deducting the Underwriters’ discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $15.4 million. The Offering is expected to close on or about December 6, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Series J Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment, and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Series J Warrants are subject to a limitation on exercise if the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own more than either 4.99% or 9.99%, at the election of the holder on initial issuance, of the total number of shares of our Common Stock of the Company.
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Series A Units are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Series J Warrant, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
The Series A Units are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus, dated August 18, 2015; a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Series A Units, dated November 30, 2016; and a prospectus supplement relating to the Series A Units, dated December 1, 2016, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-206047), declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2015.
