Item 3.02     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On September 25 and 28, 2020, Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange $13.25 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) from certain holders thereof for aggregate consideration consisting of 1,622,838 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and $8.98 million in cash (including $230,000 of accrued interest) (collectively, the “Transactions”).
Together with the previously disclosed exchange of Notes pursuant to separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements entered into with certain holders thereof on September 23, 2020 (collectively with the Transactions, the “Aggregate Note Exchange Transactions”), the Company has agreed to exchange an aggregate of $75.8 million principal amount of its outstanding Notes for aggregate consideration consisting of 10,368,955 shares of Common Stock and $50.01 million in cash (including $1.3 million of accrued interest).
After giving effect to the Aggregate Note Exchange Transactions, the Company believes that its current unrestricted cash and investment balances and cash and revenues it expects to derive from strategic and other collaborations and other sources will be sufficient to fund its currently planned operations for at least the next 12 months.
The Shares are to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.
