Securities
Purchase Agreement
pSivida
and certain institutional investors (referred to herein this form as the
investors) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement on September 18, 2006.
The agreement provides for the purchase of convertible notes and warrants by
the
investors. The aggregate purchase price of the notes is equal to US$6.5 million.
The investors will receive warrants to purchase up to 2,925,001 American
Depositary Shares (ADSs) of pSivida for no additional
consideration.
Closing
of the issue of the notes and warrants is subject to the fulfillment or waiver
of specified conditions. Pursuant to the agreement, pSivida agreed, among other
things, to continue to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and to keep its securities listed on specified exchanges or quotation
systems.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that
pSivida and the investors made to each other as of the date of the Securities
Purchase Agreement or other specific dates, and such representations and
warranties should not be relied upon by any other person.
The
Notes
A
short
summary of the terms of the notes follows:
· The
notes
will have an aggregate face value of US$6,500,000.
· The
notes
may be converted by the holder into ADSs at any time prior to the third
anniversary of the date of issue of the notes. The number of shares to be issued
upon conversion of the notes is to be calculated by dividing the face value
of
the notes to be converted (and any accrued but unpaid interest on the notes)
by
the conversion price of the ADSs.
· The
conversion price will be US$2.00 per ADS and may be adjusted under certain
circumstances, including, among others, in the event pSivida issues securities
at a lower price than the price at which the notes may be converted and based
on
the market price as of April 30, 2007 if lower than the conversion price then
in
effect.
· The
notes
mature 3 years after issuance and bear interest at the rate of 8% per
annum.
· Under
certain circumstances, pSivida may make interest payments in cash and/or in
the
form of ADSs at an 8% discount to 10-day VWAP.
· The
notes
contain certain events of default which allow the investors to accelerate the
maturity of the notes. The notes also permit the investors to force payment
of
the notes in the event of a change of control of pSivida.
· pSivida
has the right, in certain specified circumstances, to force the investors to
convert the notes into ADSs, including if the ADSs are trading at 200% of the
conversion price during a specified period.
· The
investors have the right to require the pSivida to redeem up to one-half of
the
initial outstanding principal under certain circumstances (including the prior
repayment of pSivida’s earlier outstanding convertible notes) on August 14, 2008
and February 14, 2009.
· pSivida
may redeem the notes, at its option, in whole or in part at any time at a price
equal to 108% of the outstanding principal to be redeemed.
· There
is
a limit of 4.99% in respect of an investor and its affiliates’ beneficial
ownership in pSivida, which may prevent it from converting principal of or
receiving shares as payment of interest under the notes.
· The
note
contains various negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence
of
additional debt and liens.
The
Warrants
The
following is a summary of the terms of the warrants:
· The
warrants constitute options to acquire up 2,925,001 ADSs at any time on or
before the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the warrants.
· The
per
ADS exercise price under the warrants is US$2.00 and may be adjusted under
certain circumstances, including, among others, in the event pSivida issues
securities at a lower price than the price at which the warrant may be exercised
in connection with a pro rata issuance to shareholders.
· There
is
a limit of 4.99% in respect of an investor and its affiliates’ beneficial
ownership in pSivida, which may prevent it from exercise of part of the
warrants.
· If
there
is a fundamental transaction (such as a transaction which involves a change
in
control of pSivida or a transfer of substantially all of its assets), pSivida
will use its best endeavors to procure that the successor entity assumes all
of
the obligations of pSivida under the warrants.
