Rosetta Genomics Ltd.
On February 18, 2015, Rosetta Genomics Ltd.
(“Rosetta”) entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) with
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as sales agent (“Cantor”). Under the Agreement, Rosetta may offer and sell ordinary shares,
par value NIS 0.6 per share, from time to time through Cantor, acting as agent. Rosetta intends to file a prospectus supplement
relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of its ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $14,400,000
(the “Shares”) pursuant to the Agreement. Rosetta intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, if any, for its
operations and for other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, repayment or refinancing of future indebtedness
or other future corporate borrowings, working capital, intellectual property protection and enforcement, capital expenditures,
investments, acquisitions or collaborations, research and development and product development.
Rosetta is not obligated to sell any Shares
pursuant to the Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Cantor will use commercially reasonable efforts,
consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules
of The NASDAQ Capital Market, to sell Shares from time to time based upon Rosetta's instructions, including any price, time or
size limits or other customary parameters or conditions Rosetta may impose.
Under the Agreement, Cantor may sell Shares
by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for the Shares
or to or through a market maker. In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and subject to the instructions
of Rosetta, Cantor may sell Shares by any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions.
The Agreement will terminate upon the earlier
of (i) the sale of all ordinary shares subject to the Agreement, or (ii) termination of the Agreement as otherwise permitted therein.
The Agreement may be terminated by Cantor or Rosetta at any time upon ten days' notice to the other party, or by Cantor at any
time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a material adverse change in Rosetta.
Rosetta will pay Cantor a commission of
up to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares and has agreed to provide Cantor with customary indemnification
and contribution rights.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to Rosetta's
previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-185338), the base prospectus dated December 19,
2012, filed as part of such Registration Statement, and a prospectus supplement to be filed by Rosetta with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. This Report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Shares,
nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
