On August 8, 2019, Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. (“Stemline” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, 5,000,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $15.25 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares,” together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”). The transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement are expected to close on August 13, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $76,250,000, assuming no exercise of the option to purchase Additional Shares and before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with the offering.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
