Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

On April 9, 2021, Vascular Biogenics Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) 5,150,265 ordinary shares (the “Shares”), par value NIS 0.01 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), at a price to the public of $1.90 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants of the Company to purchase 8,050,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), at a price to the public of $1.89 per Ordinary Share underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants (equal to the public offering price per Share minus $0.01) (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to additional 1,980,039 Ordinary Shares on the same terms as the Shares (the “Option”). The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $25.0 million, before the deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses and excluding the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of the Option.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time, provided that each Pre-Funded Warrant holder will be prohibited from exercising such Pre-Funded Warrants into ordinary shares if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 19.99% (or, at the election of the Pre-Funded Warrant holder, 4.99%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding.

 

The Offering was made by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-251821) (the “Registration Statement”), that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 30, 2020, and was declared effective on January 8, 2021. A preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering have been filed with the Commission. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about April 13, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Form 6-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

A copy of the legal opinion, including the related consent, of Horn & Co. relating to the validity of the Shares is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. A copy of the legal opinion, including the related consent, of Goodwin Procter LLP, relating to the validity of the Pre-Funded Warrants is filed as Exhibit 5.2 hereto. Each of Exhibit 5.1 and Exhibit 5.2 are filed with reference to, and are hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.
