EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

iBio, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) hereby files this Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which have been reserved for issuance and are issuable pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “2020 Plan”).

 

The Registrant’s Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to have in place the 2020 Plan, which reflects current best practice provisions. The 2020 Plan is the successor to the iBio, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”). Now that the 2020 Plan is effective, all outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan will remain outstanding, but no further grants will be made under the 2018 Plan. The Board of Directors believes the 2020 Plan, including the maximum number of shares available for awards under the 2020 Plan, is necessary to ensure that we have adequate capacity to continue to attract, motivate, reward and retain employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

 

The total number of shares available under the 2020 Plan for awards to officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants consist of (i) the 32,000,000 shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the grant of new awards under the 2020 Plan, and (ii) the 3,516,923 shares subject to outstanding stock options or other awards granted under the 2018 Plan that, after the date on which the 2020 Plan became effective, are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated, other than by exercise; or are tendered or withheld (or not issued) to satisfy a tax withholding obligation or the purchase or exercise price, if any, as such shares become available from time to time.

Item 4. Description of Securities

 

Not applicable.

 

 

 

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

 

Not applicable

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation requires it to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, which generally permits indemnification for actions taken by officers or directors as the Registrant’s representatives if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Registrant. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors to specify the terms of its indemnification obligations. In general, these indemnification agreements provide that the Registrant will:

 

  ·

indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent now permitted under current law and to the extent the law later is amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification;

 

  ·

advance payment of expenses to a director or officer incurred in connection with an indemnifiable claim, subject to repayment if it is later determined that the director or officer was not entitled to be indemnified;

 

  ·

reimburse the director or officer for any expenses incurred by the director or officer in seeking to enforce the indemnification agreement; and

 

  · have the opportunity to participate in the defense of any indemnifiable claims against the director or officer.

 

As permitted under Delaware law, the Registrant’s bylaws contain a provision indemnifying directors, officers, employee or agent of the Registrant against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with an action, suit or proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

 

The separation and distribution agreement that the Registrant entered into with Integrated BioPharma provides for indemnification by the Registrant of Integrated BioPharma and its directors, officers and employees for some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with the distribution, and a mutual indemnification of each other for product liability claims arising from their respective businesses, and also requires that the Registrant indemnify Integrated BioPharma for various liabilities of iBio, and for any tax that may be imposed with respect to the distribution and which result from our actions or omissions in that regard.

Item 9. 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;

 

  (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 in the 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;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
