Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed, on May 3, 2021, Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of Innoviva, Inc. (together with such subsidiary, “Innoviva”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to Innoviva, in a private placement, up to 10,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price per share of $2.00 (the “Private Placement”). The Warrants will be exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and will have a five-year term. Each share of Common Stock and each Warrant will be issued and sold together at price per unit of $2.00.

The Private Placement was made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Innoviva represented in the Securities Purchase Agreement that it was, on the date of entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

First Closing

The Private Placement occurred in two tranches. The first closing (the “First Closing”) occurred on May 3, 2021, at which time Innoviva purchased 3,731,025 shares of Common Stock and 3,731,025 Warrants in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.5 million.

At the First Closing, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Innoviva, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company must prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement with respect to resales of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Private Placement and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

Second Closing

As described below, at a special meeting of stockholders held on June 10, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company's stockholders approved the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants to Innoviva in the second tranche of the Private Placement (the “Second Closing”). On June 11, 2021, the Company completed the Second Closing and issued 6,268,975 shares of Common Stock and 6,268,975 Warrants to Innoviva for an aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $12.5 million. At the effective time of the Second Closing, assuming the exercise of all of the Warrants, Innoviva will hold approximately 75.5 % of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of the Warrants, Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which were filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2021 and are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
