Private Placement
As previously reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2020 (the “April 8-K”), Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Pillar Partners Foundation,
L.P. (“Pillar Foundation”) providing for the sale of securities in two closings exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
On December 9, 2020, the Company received from Pillar Foundation
a notice that it or affiliated entities intended to consummate the Second Closing (as defined below) pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
On December 11, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment
(the “Amendment”) to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 7, 2020,
with Pillar Foundation (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and Pillar Pharmaceuticals 6, L.P. (“Pillar 6”
and, collectively with Pillar Foundation, the “Purchasers”), principally to enable Pillar 6 to participate in the Second
Closing.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and Amendment, on December
11, 2020, the Company issued and sold to the Purchasers, for $5.0 million of aggregate consideration (the “Second Closing”),
(i) 69,941 shares of Common Stock (“Second Closing Shares”), (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,677,311 shares
of Common Stock (“Second Closing Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 1,373,626 shares of Common
Stock (“Second Closing Common Warrants”). Each Second Closing Share and the associated 0.5 Second Closing Common Warrant
had a combined purchase price of $1.82 and each Pre-Funded Warrant and the 0.5 associated Second Closing Common Warrant had a combined
purchase price of $1.81. Each combined purchase price included $0.125 for each share of Common Stock underlying each Second Closing
Common Warrant. The Second Closing Common Warrants have an exercise price of $2.71 per share of Common Stock.
The foregoing provides only brief descriptions of the material
terms of the form of the Pre-Funded Warrant, the form of the Common Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities
Purchase Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and
such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, and 10.1 filed with the April 8-K and
