Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On June 1, 2021, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar Health, Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”), entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with privately held Dragon SPAC S.p.A. (the “SPAC”) and Joshua Mailman, the sponsor of the SPAC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the SPAC agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement by the SPAC directly to Napo, units of the SPAC (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of one ordinary share of the SPAC (“Share”) and a warrant to purchase a Share (“Warrant”), for gross proceeds of approximately €8,830,000. The SPAC is an Italy special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of entering into a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Napo EU S.p.A., an Italy joint stock company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Napo (“Napo EU”), with the aim of developing the pharmaceutical activities of the SPAC/Napo EU combined entity (the “Combined Company”) in Europe.

 

The SPAC intends to offer Units for sale to accredited investors in the U.S. and non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. (together with the private placement of Units to Napo, the “Offering) until immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to regulatory requirements relating to Business Combination (the “Subscription Period”). The SPAC is relying upon Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in issuing these Units. The exact number of Units that the SPAC will issue to Napo and any other purchasers at the closing of the Offering will be calculated based upon the aggregate amount of binding commitments for the Offering that the SPAC receives from purchasers during the Subscription Period. The aggregate equity ownership in the Combined Company by purchasers in the Offering other than Napo is expected to be a minority of the outstanding share capital of the Combined Company following the closing of Offering and the Business Combination, excluding any exercises of Warrants.

 

The Offering is expected to close promptly following the end of the Subscription Period, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including the consummation of the Business Combination on or before September 30, 2021, the execution of a license agreement between Napo and Napo EU for the development, manufacture and commercialization of all planned crofelemer and lechlemer indications in Europe (excluding Russia) and customary closing conditions. If any of the closing conditions for the Offering are not met or waived, the SPAC is required to promptly return to each purchaser in the Offering, including Napo, the amounts collected in the Offering, excluding the reimbursement of up to €350,000 for legal expenses incurred by Sponsor since May 31, 2021 and up to US$200,000 in fees due to the Sponsor’s financial advisor. The SPAC intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for purposes of funding the Business Combination and the activities of the Combined Company.

 

Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise price of €10 per Share at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the 10-year anniversary of the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) the five-year anniversary of the listing of the Combined Company on a public exchange.

 

The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Subscription Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On June 1, 2021, the Company and the SPAC issued a joint press release announcing Napo’s initial funding of the Offering, refinements to Napo EU’s business plan, and the SPAC’s decision to complete a private financing rather than a public financing, as a general solicitation offering under Regulation D, Rule 506(c) of the Securities Act. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
