Gamida Cell Ltd.
On February 16, 2021, Gamida Cell Ltd.
(the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the closing of an offering of 5.875% exchangeable senior notes due
in 2026 (the “Notes”), in the aggregate original principal amount of $75,000,000, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit
99.1 to this Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K (this “Report”).
On February 15, 2021, the Company and Gamida Cell Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the “Issuer”), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”)
with certain funds affiliated with Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Issuer
agreed to issue and sell the Notes to the Buyers, which Notes the Company fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured
basis (the “Guarantee”). The Notes and Guarantee were issued pursuant to an Indenture between the Company, the Issuer,
and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, entered into on February 16, 2021 (the “Indenture”). The Notes were sold
at 100% of the principal amount thereof and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of
each year, beginning on August 15, 2021, at a rate of 5.875% per year. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier
exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. Subject to certain limitations, the holders of the Notes can elect to exchange the Notes for
the Company’s ordinary shares at an initial exchange rate of 56.3063 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to
an exchange price of $17.76 per share). The initial exchange price of the Notes represents a premium of 50% over the closing price
of the Company’s ordinary shares on February 12, 2021.
Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, if the last reported
sale price of the Company’s ordinary shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading
days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period)
ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Issuer provides notice of redemption at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding,
the redemption date. Moelis & Company served as a transaction advisor to Gamida Cell.
On February 16, 2021, the Company, the Issuer and the Buyers
also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide the Buyers and their transferee(s)
certain registration rights with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined therein).
A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 of this Report,
the form of Note is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Report, a copy of the Note Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Report and a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report. The foregoing descriptions of the
