Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions including, among others the completion of a corporate restructuring separating the transferred businesses and assets from the Company’s remaining businesses.  Unless the agreement is terminated by the Company in favor of an Alternative Proposal, the Company currently expects to close the transactions contemplated by the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement on January 31, 2020.
 
Also on January 1, 2020, the Company and TS Biotechnology entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, TS Biotechnology agreed to purchase, at a per share price equal to the volume weighted average price of Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately following the second business day after January 14, 2020, rounded to the nearest whole cent (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), a number of shares of Common Stock, rounded to the nearest whole share, equal to (x) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $35 million or (ii) if the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated by the Company because the Company has entered into an Alternative Sale Agreement (as defined in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement), the difference between $88 million and the net cash proceeds that the Company or any of its subsidiaries is entitled to receive pursuant to such Alternative Sale Agreement; divided by (y) the Per Share Purchase Price (the “Shares”).  The Company and TS Biotechnology have each made limited representations and warranties and customary covenants in the Subscription Agreement.
 
The closing under the Subscription Agreement will occur on the later date of (i) the closing under the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) a closing under an Alternative Sale Agreement (as defined in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement), and (iii) the second business day after the end of the purchase price calculation period described above.  The Company currently expects to close the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement on January 31, 2020.

Each of the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement was approved by the independent members of the Company’s board of directors, with the recommendation of an independent special committee of the board.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
