ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, utilizing a "shelf"
registration process. Under this shelf registration process, shares of our common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities,
either individually or in units, may be offered in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that may be offered. Each time a type or series of

This
prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement. For a more complete understanding of the offering of the securities, you should refer to
the registration statement, including its exhibits. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. However, no
prospectus supplement will offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its
effectiveness. This prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, includes all material information relating to this

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is a summary of our business and the offering of our securities under this prospectus. We urge you to read
this entire prospectus, including the more detailed consolidated
financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and other information incorporated by reference from our other filings with the SEC or included in any applicable prospectus
supplements. Investing in our securities involves risks. Therefore, carefully consider the risk factors in any prospectus supplements and in our most recent transitional, annual and quarterly filings
with the SEC, as well as other information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplements and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, before purchasing our securities. Each of
the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.
About ImmunoGen, Inc.
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company that develops targeted cancer therapeutics using our proprietary antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC,
technology. An ADC with our technology comprises an antibody that binds to a target found on tumor cells and is conjugated to one of our potent anti-cancer agents as a "payload" to kill the tumor cell
once the ADC has bound to its target. ADCs are an expanding approach to the treatment of cancer, with two approved products and the number of agents in development more than doubling during the last
five years.
We
have established a leadership position in ADCs. Our technology is deployed in Roche's Kadcyla® (ado-trastuzumab emtansine), the first ADC to demonstrate superiority over
standard of care in a randomized pivotal trial, EMILIA, and gain approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. Following Kadcyla are 13 clinical-stage ADCs that integrate our
technology: four wholly owned by us and nine through our partnerships with Amgen, Bayer, Biotest, Lilly, Novartis and Sanofi.
Our
proprietary portfolio is led by mirvetuximab soravtansine, a first-in-class ADC targeting folate-receptor alpha, or FR
a
. Following meetings with
the FDA and the European Medicines Agency in the third quarter of 2016 to review our protocol, we initiated a Phase 3 registration trial, FORWARD I, with mirvetuximab soravtansine for use as
single-agent therapy to treat patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer whose tumors express high or medium levels of FR
a
and who have received up to three
prior treatment regimens. Additionally, we are accruing patients in a companion study, FORWARD II, to evaluate mirvetuximab soravtansine in combination regimens to expand the number of patients with
ovarian cancer eligible for treatment with the ADC. FORWARD II consists of cohorts assessing mirvetuximab soravtansine in combination with, in separate doublets, Avastin® (bevacizumab),
pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or PLD, and carboplatin. We have also entered into a collaboration with Merck under which Merck is providing Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) for evaluation in
combination with mirvetuximab soravtansine as part of the FORWARD II study. We expect to begin reporting clinical findings from FORWARD II in the second quarter of 2017.
We
have built a productive platform that continues to generate innovative and proprietary ADCs, including IMGN779, our CD33-targeting product candidate for acute myeloid leukemia, or
AML. IMGN779 integrates one of our new DNA-alkylating IGN payload agents and is progressing through dose escalation in a Phase 1 trial in AML. We also are advancing IMGN632, a preclinical
CD123-targeting ADC that uses an even more potent IGN payload agent with a new engineered linker and novel antibody, which we are developing for hematological malignancies including AML. We expect to
submit an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA for IMGN632 in the third quarter of 2017.
In
addition to fueling our organic growth, we also selectively license limited rights to use of our ADC technology to other companies. These licenses can provide us with cash through
upfront and milestone payments, research and manufacturing support payments, and royalties on commercial sales,

if
any, as well as access to complementary technology and capabilities. The most advanced partner program is Roche's marketed product, Kadcyla.
We
were organized as a Massachusetts corporation in March 1981. Our principal offices are located at 830 Winter Street, Waltham, MA 02451, and our telephone number is
(781) 895-0600. We maintain a web site at www.immunogen.com, where certain information about us is available. Please note that the information contained on the website is not a part of this

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of
the risks applicable to an investment in us. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors"
in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in
this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" included in our most recent transition or annual report on
Form 10-K, which is on file with the SEC and is incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in
the future. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
affect our operations.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and
make informed investment decisions. This prospectus and the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference contain such "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Words
such as "may," "anticipate," "estimate," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "tracking" and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any
discussion of future operating or financial performance, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent management's present judgment regarding future events and are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks
and uncertainties regarding our preclinical studies, our ability to conduct clinical trials of our product candidates and the results of such trials, as well as risks and uncertainties relating to
litigation, government regulation and third-party reimbursement, economic conditions, markets, products, competition, intellectual property, services and prices, key employees, future capital needs,
dependence on our collaborators and their ability to develop ADCs utilizing our technology and other factors. Please also see the discussion of risks and uncertainties under "Risk Factors" contained
in this prospectus and in any supplements to this prospectus and in our most recent transition or annual report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our most recent quarterly report on
Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference.
In
light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or in any document incorporated
herein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the
document incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
We are authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share. On February 28, 2017, we had 87,354,589 shares
of common stock outstanding and approximately 512 shareholders of record.
The
following summary of certain provisions of our common stock does not purport to be complete. You should refer to our restated articles of organization and our amended and restated
by-laws, both of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement we have filed with the SEC in connection with this offering. The summary below is also qualified by provisions of
applicable law.
General
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, and do
not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends,
if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividend payments. All shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus
and, upon issuance and sale, all shares of common stock that we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, will be fully paid and nonassessable. The holders of common stock have no preferences or rights
of conversion, exchange, pre-emption or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of our affairs, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are remaining after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and obligations and
after liquidation payments to holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc.
The Nasdaq Global Select Market

Table of Contents
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. As of February 28, 2017, no shares of our
preferred stock were issued and outstanding. The following summary of certain provisions of our preferred stock does not purport to be complete. You should refer to our restated articles of
organization and our amended and restated by-laws, both of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement we have filed with the SEC in connection with this offering. The summary below
is also qualified by provisions of applicable law.
General
Our board of directors may, without further action by our shareholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in
series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series, including voting rights, dividend rights and redemption and liquidation preferences.
Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our common stock. Holders of
shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company before any payment is made to the holders of shares
of our common stock. In some circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control
by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of our board of directors, without shareholder approval, we may issue shares of
preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock.
If
a specific series of preferred stock is offered under this prospectus, we will describe the terms of the preferred stock in the prospectus supplement for such offering and will
file a copy of the certificate establishing the terms of the preferred stock with the SEC. To the extent required, this description will include:
-
-

-
-
the number of shares offered, the liquidation preference per share and the purchase price;
-
-
the dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s), or method(s) of calculation for such dividends;

and exchange period;
-
-
voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock;
-
-
a discussion of any material and/or special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock;

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material
terms and provisions of the debt securities that may be offered under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities that may be offered
pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that may be offered in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus
supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement
differ from the terms described below, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement shall control.
Under
this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated, may be sold from time to time, in one or more offerings. We will issue any such senior debt securities under
a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any such
subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to
the registration statement, which includes this prospectus. We use the term "indentures" to refer to both the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture. The indentures will be qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the indenture, or the Trust Indenture Act. We use the term "debenture trustee" to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or
the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.
The
following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by
reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities.
General
Each indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in United
States dollars or foreign currencies or units based on or relating to United States dollars or foreign currencies, including euros. Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be
issued thereunder, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any series of debt securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a
supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.
We
will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:
-
-
the title;
-
-
the aggregate principal amount and any limit on the amount that may be issued;
-
-
the currency or units based on or relating to currencies in which debt securities of such series are denominated and the currency or units in
which principal or interest or both will or may be payable;
-
-
whether we will issue the series of debt securities in global form, the terms of any global securities and who the depositary will be;
-
-
the maturity date and the date or dates on which principal will be payable;
-
-
the interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the date
or dates interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates;
10

whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;
-
-
the terms of the subordination of any series of subordinated debt;
-

the place or places where payments will be payable;
-
-
our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;
-
-
the date, if any, after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional
redemption provisions;
-
-
the date, if any, on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem,
or at the holder's option to purchase, the series of debt securities;
-
-
whether the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;
-
-
whether we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;
-
-
a discussion on any material or special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to a series of debt securities;

-
the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof; and
-
-
any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities.
We
may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the
terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
Conversion or Exchange Rights
We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable
for our common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions
pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.
Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged
Transaction
The indentures may not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets will be required to assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as
appropriate.
Unless
we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the
event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt
securities.

Table of Contents
Events of Default Under the Indenture
The following will be events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may
issue:
-
-
if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;
-
-
if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;
-
-
if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant relating to such series contained in the debt securities of such series or the applicable
indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written
notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and
-
-
if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us.
No
event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of
default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from
time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding
from time to time.
If
an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately
the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders of
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount
of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, premium, if
any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal,
premium or interest that had become due other than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities
for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.
Subject
to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its
rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable
indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the
12
Table of Contents
debenture
trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:
-
-
the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and
-
-
subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability
or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.
-
-
A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver
or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:
-
-
the holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;
-
-
the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request,
and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and
-
-
the debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such
series represented at such meeting) other conflicting directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer.
These
limitations will not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.
We
will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the applicable indenture.
Modification of Indenture; Waiver
The debenture trustee and we may change the applicable indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters,
including:
-
-
to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and
-
-
to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued pursuant to
such indenture.
In
addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each
holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:
-
-
extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;
-
-
reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or a premium payable upon the redemption of
any debt securities;
-
-
reducing the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
-
-
making the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or
13
Table of Contents
-
-
reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver.
Except
for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such
series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt
securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the
holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of,
premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt
security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.
Discharge
Each indenture will provide that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities,
except for obligations to:
-
-
register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;
-
-
replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;
-
-
maintain paying agencies;
-
-
hold monies for payment in trust;
-
-
compensate and indemnify the trustee; and
-
-
appoint any successor trustee.
In
order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we will have to deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal
of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.
Form, Exchange, and Transfer
We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the
applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global
form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to
that series.
At
the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of
the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
Subject
to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present
the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the
office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in
14
Table of Contents
the
debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require
payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.
We
will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt
securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except
that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.
If
we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:
-
-
issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or
-
-
register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
debt securities we are redeeming in part.
Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee
The debenture trustee other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, will undertake to
perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of
care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it
by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.
Payment and Paying Agents
Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, on any interest payment date, we will pay the interest on any debt
securities to the person in whose name such debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.
We
will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise
indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, will we make interest payments by check which we will mail to the
holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments
with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series.
We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.
All
money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of
two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

Governing Law
The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the
extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.
Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities
Our obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to
certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit
us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MASSACHUSETTS LAW AND OF THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION AND BY-LAWS
Anti-Takeover Provisions under Massachusetts law and our Massachusetts Articles of Organization and
By-laws
Provisions of Massachusetts law and our restated articles of organization and amended and restated by-laws contain other provisions that are
intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or
change in control of our company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors.
These
provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking
to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly
or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Massachusetts statutory business combinations provisions.
We are subject to Chapter 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws, an
anti-takeover
law. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly-held Massachusetts corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date
of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested
stockholder, unless (i) the interested stockholder obtains the approval of the board of directors prior to becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) the interested stockholder acquires
90% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by certain affiliates of the corporation) at the time it becomes an interested stockholder, or (iii) the business
combination is approved by both the board of directors and the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested stockholder).
Generally, an 'interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or at any time within the prior three years did own) 5% or more of the outstanding voting stock
of the corporation. A "business combination" includes a merger, a stock or asset sale, and certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholders.
Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 110D, entitled "Regulation of Control Share Acquisitions," in general provides that any shareholder of a company subject to this statute who
acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a company may not vote such stock unless the shareholders of the company so authorize. Although our amended and restated by-laws currently
exclude us from this statute, the board of directors may amend our by-laws to subject us to this statute prospectively.
Chapter 110C
of the Massachusetts General Laws requires the person commencing a takeover bid to file certain information with the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the target
company and provides that a bidder who fails to disclose its intent to gain control over a target corporation prior to acquiring 5% of the target company's stock is precluded from making any takeover
bid for a period of one year after crossing the 5% threshold.
Blank check preferred stock.
Our restated article of organization allows our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock
without the
approval of our shareholders, which is referred to as "blank check" preferred stock. The effects of such issuance, among other things, could include the dilution in the voting power of our common
stock if the preferred stock has voting rights and the reduction or restriction in the rights of holders of our common stock to receive a payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of our company. In some circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or expensive or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the
assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. In addition, the board of directors could also utilize the shares of preferred stock in
order to adopt a shareholder rights plan, or "poison pill," which could have the effect of discouraging or delaying a takeover of the company.
19
Table of Contents
Advance notice provisions for shareholder proposals and shareholder nominations of directors.
Our amended and restated by-laws provide
that, for
nominations to the board of directors or for other business to be properly brought by a shareholder before a meeting of shareholders, the shareholder must first have given timely notice of the
proposal in writing to our Secretary. For an annual meeting, a shareholder's notice generally must be delivered not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the anniversary of
the mailing date of the proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting. For special meetings called to elect directors, a shareholder's notice must generally be delivered not less than
60 days (or ten days after public disclosure of the meeting date if later) nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting. Detailed requirements as to the form of the notice and information
required in the notice are specified in the amended and amended and restated by-laws. If it is determined that business was not properly brought before a meeting in accordance with our amended and
restated by-laws, such business will not be conducted at the meeting. Although our by-laws do not give our board of directors the power to approve or disapprove shareholder nominations of candidates
or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our by-laws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of some business at a meeting if the proper procedures
are not followed or may discourage or defer a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
Classified board of directors.
Section 8.06(b) of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act provides that unless a company
decides otherwise,
the terms of directors of a public Massachusetts company shall be staggered by dividing the directors into three groups, as nearly equal in number as possible, with only one group of directors being
elected each year. Sections 8.06(d) and (e) of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act provide that when directors are so classified, (i) shareholders may remove directors only
for cause, (ii) the number of directors shall be fixed only by the vote of the board of directors, (iii) vacancies and newly created directorships shall be filled solely by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, and (iv) a decrease in the number of directors will not shorten the term of any incumbent director. Our board of directors opted out
of this staggered board of directors requirement, and all of our directors currently serve for one-year terms and are elected annually. Under Section 8.06(c)(2) of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act, our board of directors may opt into the staggered board of directors requirements of Section 8.06(b) and application of Sections 8.06(d) and (e). If the board of
directors opts into this structure, these provisions are likely to increase the time required for shareholders to change the composition of the board of directors. For example, in general, at least
two annual meetings would be necessary for shareholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the board of directors. The provision for a classified board could prevent a party who
acquires control of a large portion of our outstanding common stock from obtaining control of our board of directors until our second annual shareholders meeting following the date the acquirer
obtains the stock interest. The classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us and
could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions.
Shareholder can only act by unanimous written consent and restrictions on who can call a special meeting of shareholders.
Although our
restated
articles of organization and amended and restated by-laws allow our shareholders to act by written consent, such written consent must be signed by all shareholders entitled to vote on the matter
approved. This significantly restricts the ability of our shareholders to act by written consent and essentially provides that our shareholders may only act at a duly called shareholders meeting. In
addition, special meetings of the shareholders may be called only by our
President, our board of directors and one or more shareholders holding at least 40% of our voting stock.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our restated articles of organization and amended and restated by-laws limit the liability of our officers and directors to the fullest extent
permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act and provides that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is a summary of what we believe to be the most important aspects of our business and the offering of our
securities under this prospectus. We urge you to read this entire prospectus, including the more detailed consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and other
information incorporated by reference from our other filings with the SEC. Investing in our securities involves risks. Therefore, carefully consider the risk factors set forth in this prospectus of
incorporated by reference herein, as well as other information in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, before purchasing our securities. Each of the risk factors could
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.
About ImmunoGen, Inc.
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company that develops targeted cancer therapeutics using our proprietary antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC,
technology. An ADC with our technology comprises an antibody that binds to a target found on tumor cells and is conjugated to one of our potent anti-cancer agents as a "payload" to kill the tumor cell
once the ADC has bound to its target. ADCs are an expanding approach to the treatment of cancer, with two approved products and the number of agents in development more than doubling during the last
five years.
We
have established a leadership position in ADCs. Our technology is deployed in Roche's Kadcyla® (ado-trastuzumab emtansine), the first ADC to demonstrate superiority over
standard of care in a randomized pivotal trial, EMILIA, and gain approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. Following Kadcyla are 13 clinical-stage ADCs that integrate our
technology: four wholly owned by us and nine through our partnerships with Amgen, Bayer, Biotest, Lilly, Novartis and Sanofi.
Our
proprietary portfolio is led by mirvetuximab soravtansine, a first-in-class ADC targeting folate-receptor alpha, or FR
a
. Following meetings with
the FDA and the European Medicines Agency in the third quarter of 2016 to review our protocol, we initiated a Phase 3 registration trial, FORWARD I, with mirvetuximab soravtansine for use as
single-agent therapy to treat patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer whose tumors express high or medium levels of FR
a
and who have received up to three
prior treatment regimens. Additionally, we are accruing patients in a companion study, FORWARD II, to evaluate mirvetuximab soravtansine in combination regimens to expand the number of patients with
ovarian cancer eligible for treatment with the ADC. FORWARD II consists of cohorts assessing mirvetuximab soravtansine in combination with, in separate doublets, Avastin® (bevacizumab),
pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or PLD, and carboplatin. We have also entered into a collaboration with Merck under which Merck is providing
Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) for evaluation in combination with mirvetuximab soravtansine as part of the FORWARD II study. We expect to begin reporting clinical findings from FORWARD II in
the second quarter of 2017.
We
have built a productive platform that continues to generate innovative and proprietary ADCs, including IMGN779, our CD33-targeting product candidate for acute myeloid leukemia, or
AML. IMGN779 integrates one of our new DNA-alkylating IGN payload agents and is progressing through dose escalation in a Phase 1 trial in AML. We also are advancing IMGN632, a preclinical
CD123-targeting ADC that uses an even more potent IGN payload agent with a new engineered linker and novel antibody, which we are developing for hematological malignancies including AML. We expect to
submit an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA for IMGN632 in the third quarter of 2017.
In
addition to fueling our organic growth, we also selectively license limited rights to use of our ADC technology to other companies. These licenses can provide us with cash through
upfront and milestone payments, research and manufacturing support payments, and royalties on commercial sales,

if
any, as well as access to complementary technology and capabilities. The most advanced partner program is Roche's marketed product, Kadcyla.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as
the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including "Risk Factors" included in Item 1A of Part I of our Transition Report on Form 10-K for
the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2017, and in any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, before making an investment decision. In addition, please read "About this Prospectus" in this prospectus and "Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. Please note that additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and operations.
Risks related to this offering
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.
The assumed offering price per share of our common stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value (deficit) per
share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value (deficit) per
share after this offering. Assuming the sale of $50,000,000 of our common stock in this offering, based on the assumed offering price of $3.58 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our
common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 2, 2017, and net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our common stock of $(1.75) as of December 31, 2016, if you purchase
shares in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $4.61 per share in the as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) of common stock purchased. See "Dilution" beginning
on page S-10 of this prospectus for a more detailed description of the dilution to new investors in this offering.
We have broad discretion in the use of net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. See "Use of
Proceeds" beginning on page S-9 of this prospectus for further detail. Although we currently intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering in such a manner, we will have broad discretion
in the application of such net proceeds. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of
our common stock to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or loses value.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is
less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per
share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid
by investors in this offering.
S-6
Table of Contents
Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that
such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impair
our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-based securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock would have on the market price of our
common stock.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future on our common stock,
and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends and we currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. We are not legally or contractually required to pay dividends and certain of our debt agreement with our major stockholder contains restrictions on our ability to pay cash
dividends. The declaration and payment of all future dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion our board of directors, which retains the right to change our dividend policy at any time, and
may be limited by our debt arrangements in place from time to time. The payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects and other factors our
board of directors may deem relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our
common stock may be less valuable because stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, to realize any future gains on their investment.
The common stock offered hereby will be sold in "at the market offerings" and investors who buy shares at
different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in
their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may
experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The actual number of shares we will issue under the sales agreement, at any one time or in total, is
uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice
to Cowen at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of shares that are sold by Cowen after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common
shares during the sales period and limits we set with Cowen. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is
not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and
make informed investment decisions. This prospectus and the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein by
reference contain such "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such
statements in connection with any discussion of future operations or financial performance are identified by the use of words such as "may," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect,"
"project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning. Such statements are based on management's expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks and
uncertainties regarding our preclinical studies, our ability to conduct clinical trials of our product candidates and the results of such trials, as well as risks and uncertainties relating to
litigation, government regulation and third-party reimbursement, economic conditions, markets, products, competition, intellectual property, services and prices, key employees, future capital needs,
dependence on our collaborators and their ability to develop ADCs utilizing our technology; and other factors detailed under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus as updated and supplemented
by the discussion of risks and uncertainties under "Risk Factors" contained in our most recent Transition or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q or our Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference. The information
contained in this document is believed to be current as of the date of this document. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these
statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
In
light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or in any document incorporated
herein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the
document incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

Table of Contents
USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time under this
prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount required pursuant to the sales agreement with Cowen, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not
determinable at this time. Actual net proceeds will depend on the number of shares we sell and the prices at which such sales occur. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or
fully utilize the sales agreement with Cowen as a source of financing.
We
intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from sales of shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include,
among other things, the funding of capital and other expenditures and the acquisition or in-license of additional drugs, product candidates or technology.
Our
expected use of net proceeds, if any, from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement with Cowen represents our intentions based upon our present plans and
business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including, but
not limited to, results of our research and development efforts, the timing and success of preclinical studies, our ongoing clinical trials or clinical trials we may commence in the future, the timing
of regulatory submissions and the feedback from regulatory authorities. As a result, our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, if any.
We
may temporarily invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities pending their use for the purposes described above. We have not determined the amount of net
proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes and, as a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds, if any.

DILUTION
If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per
share and the as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value (deficit) per share by dividing the net tangible book
value (deficit), which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by
purchasers of shares in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our common stock immediately after giving effect to this offering. Our net tangible book value
(deficit) as of December 31, 2016 was approximately $(152.9) million, or $(1.75) per share.
After
giving effect to the sale of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million at an assumed offering price of $3.58 per share, which was the last reported sale
price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 2, 2017, and after deducting offering commissions and estimated expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value
(deficit) as of December 31, 2016 would have been $104.7 million, or $(1.03) per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value (deficit) of
$0.72 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value (deficit) of $4.61 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share

The
table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 13,966,480 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $3.58 per share, which was the last reported sale
price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 2, 2017, for aggregate gross proceeds of $50.0 million. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from
time to time at various prices. An increase of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $3.58 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of
our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million during the term of the sales agreement with Cowen is sold at that price, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value
(deficit) per share after the offering to $(1.07) per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value (deficit) per share to new investors in this offering to $5.65 per share, after
deducting offering commissions and estimated expenses payable by us. A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $3.58 per share shown in
the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the amount of $50.0 million during the term of the sales agreement with Cowen is sold at that price, would decrease our as adjusted net
tangible book value (deficit) per share after the offering to $(0.98) per share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value (deficit) per share to new investors in this offering to
$3.56 per share, after deducting offering commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual
offering price and the actual number of shares offered.
The
above discussion is based on 87,301,341 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2016. It does not include:

the extent that options are exercised or the notes are converted, investors purchasing shares in this offering could experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise
additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is
raised through the sale of equity or equity-based securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a sales agreement with Cowen, under which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $50,000,000 of our common stock
through Cowen as our sales agent. Sales of our common stock, if any, will be made at market prices by any method that is deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under
the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other trading market for our common stock. If authorized by us in writing, Cowen may also purchase shares of
our common stock as principal.
Cowen
will offer our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and Cowen. We will designate the maximum
amount of common stock to be sold through Cowen on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with Cowen. Subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, Cowen will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us. We may instruct Cowen not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be
effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. Cowen or we may suspend the offering of our common stock being made through Cowen under the sales agreement upon proper notice
to the other party. Cowen and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the sales agreement, to terminate the sales agreement in each party's sole discretion at any time.
The
aggregate compensation payable to Cowen as sales agent is equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares sold through it pursuant to the sales agreement. We have also agreed to
reimburse Cowen up to $50,000 of Cowen's actual outside legal expenses incurred by Cowen in connection with this offering, and for certain other expenses, including Cowen's FINRA counsel fees in an
amount up to $12,500. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding commissions payable to Cowen under the sales agreement, will be approximately $357,500.
The
remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection
with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such common stock.
Cowen
will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on each day in which common stock is sold through it as sales agent under
the sales agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares of common stock sold through it as
sales agent on that day, the volume weighted average price of the shares sold, the percentage of the daily trading volume and the net proceeds to us.
We
will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through Cowen under the sales agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to Cowen in
connection with the sales of common stock.
Settlement
for sales of common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the third business day that is also a trading day following the date on which any sales were made
in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
In
connection with the sales of our common stock on our behalf, Cowen may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to Cowen
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the sales agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Cowen against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. As sales agent, Cowen will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes our common stock.
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and trades under the symbol "IMGN." The transfer agent of our common stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer
Solutions, Inc.
Cowen
and/or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us for which services they have received and, may in
the future receive, customary fees.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Subdivision E of Part 8 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA") authorizes the provisions, described below, contained
in our Restated Articles of Organization and amended and restated by-laws. In addition, Sections 8.30 and 8.42 of the MBCA provide that if an officer or director discharges his or her duties in
good faith and with the care that a person in a like position would reasonably exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believes to be in the best
interests of the corporation, he or she will not be liable for such action.
Article 6(d)
of our Restated Articles of Organization also provides that the liability of our directors shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA and
Section 6.6 of our amended and restated by-laws provides as follows:
"Section 6.6 Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Members of Scientific Advisory Board.
The corporation shall indemnify and
hold
harmless each person, now or hereafter an officer or Director of the corporation, or a member of the Scientific Advisory Board, from and against any and all claims and liabilities to which he may be
or become subject by reason of his being or having been an officer, Director or member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the corporation or by reason of his alleged acts or omissions as an officer,
Director or member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the corporation, and shall indemnify and reimburse each such officer, Director and member of the Scientific Advisory Board against and for any
and all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claims and liabilities, actual or threatened, whether or not at or prior to the time which so indemnified, held
harmless and reimbursed he has ceased to be an officer, Director or member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the corporation, except with respect to any matter as to which such officer, Director or
member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the corporation shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best
interest of the corporation; provided, however, that prior to such final adjudication the corporation may compromise and settle any such claims and liabilities and pay such expenses, if such
settlement or payment or both appears, in the judgment of a majority of those members of the Board of Directors who are not involved in such matters, to be for the best interest of the corporation as
evidenced by a resolution to that effect adopted after receipt by the corporation of a written opinion of counsel for the
II-1
Table of Contents
corporation,
that, based on the facts available to such counsel, such officer, Director or member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the corporation has not been guilty of acting in a manner that
would prohibit indemnification.
Such
indemnification may include payment by the corporation of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action
or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification under this section.
The
registrant shall similarly indemnify and hold harmless persons who serve at its express written request as directors or officers of another organization in which the corporation owns
shares or of which it is a creditor.
The
right of indemnification herein provided shall be in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights to which any officer, Director or member of the Scientific Advisory Board of
the corporation, or any such persons who serve at its request as aforesaid, may otherwise be lawfully entitled. As used in this Section, the terms "officer," "Director," and "member of the Scientific
Advisory Board" include their respective heirs, executors, and administrators."
We
also carry insurance policies insuring our directors and officers against certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers.
Any
underwriting agreements that we may enter into will likely provide for the indemnification of us, our controlling persons, our directors and certain of our officers by the
underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 16. Exhibits
The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement, which Exhibit Index is hereby
incorporated by reference.
Item 17. Undertakings
-
(a)
-
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
-
(1)
-
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
-
(i)
-
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
-
(ii)
-
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
-
(iii)
-
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
II-2
Table of Contents
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration
statement.
-
(2)
-
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
-
(3)
-
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
-
(4)
-
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
-
(i)
-
Each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed
prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
-
(ii)
-
Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B
relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date
shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a
time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made
in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
-
(5)
-
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in
a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell
such securities to such purchaser:
-
(i)
-
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
-
(ii)
-
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
II-3
Table of Contents
-
(iii)
-
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
-
(iv)
-
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
-
(b)
-
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
-
(c)
-
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
-
(d)
-
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a)
of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
