Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On October 11, 2017, ArQule Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain
stockholders (the “Purchasers”) for the sale by the Company (the “Offering”) of 13,938,651 shares of
common stock (the “Shares”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,123,674 shares of
common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Company sold the Shares and the Warrants together at a price per unit
of $1.135. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise
price of $1.75 per Warrant Share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and have a four-year term.
The Purchase Agreements and Warrants each include
customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Company also agreed to file a resale registration statement within 60
days after the closing of the transaction to register the resale of the Shares.
The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Purchase Agreements were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreements. In addition, such
representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase
Agreements and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may
be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the form of Purchase Agreement is included
with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction, and not to provide investors with
any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants
or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date
of the Purchase Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
The forms of the Purchase Agreement and Warrant are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summaries of the terms
of these documents are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
On October 13, 2017, the Company received
gross proceeds from the Offering of approximately $15.7 million. The Company estimates the net proceeds from this Offering will
be approximately $15.5 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering to advance clinical trials related
to its proprietary pipeline and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Item 3.02.
|
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
|
The information set forth in Item 1.01 related
to the Offering is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being sold
and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on the exemptions
provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under
the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
On October 16, 2017, the Company issued a press
release announcing the Offering, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated
by reference into this Item 8.01.
