Share Purchase Agreement

On December 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Issuer entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Ocumension Therapeutics, incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “Investor” or “Ocumension”), pursuant to which the Issuer offered and sold to the Investor 3,010,722 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $5.2163 per share, which was the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as of the close of trading on December 29, 2020 (the “Transaction”). The shares of Common Stock issued to the Investor in the Transaction represented approximately 19.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction on the Closing Date.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the Transaction were approximately $15.7 million. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Transaction to continue to fund research and development expenditures related to the advancement of EYP-1901 for retinal diseases and the Issuer’s other product candidates, the commercialization of DEXYCU and YUTIQ and for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies, products or businesses in ophthalmology, and investments.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and subject to certain limited exceptions, the Investor is prohibited from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of the shares of Common Stock acquired in the Transaction for a period of 12 months following the Closing Date.

In addition, for so long as the Investor owns a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock it acquired on the Closing Date, the Investor is entitled to participate in subsequent issuances of equity securities of the Issuer in order to maintain its ownership percentage, subject to certain exceptions for, among other things, the issuance of equity awards pursuant to equity incentive plans, inducement awards and/or employee stock purchase plans and the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to “at-the-market” equity offering programs, including pursuant to that certain Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement, dated August 5, 2020, by and between the Issuer and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co, as may be amended from time to time.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Issuer is required, within 45 days following the Closing Date, to file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering for resale the shares of Common Stock issued to the Investor in the Transaction, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 120 days following the Closing Date.

The shares of Common Stock sold and issued in the Transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

Voting Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Issuer also entered into a Voting and Investor Rights Agreement (the “Voting Agreement” and together with the Share Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”) with the Investor and EW Healthcare Partners, L.P. and EW Healthcare Partners-A, L.P. (collectively, the “EW Investors”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, for so long as the Investor owns a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock it acquired on the Closing Date, and subject to compliance with applicable law and the Issuer’s guidelines with respect to the nomination of directors, the Investor is entitled to designate for nomination one person (the “Investor Designee”) to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), the Science Committee of the Board and certain other ad-hoc committees of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640, the Investor will not be entitled to designate for nomination any person to serve as a member of the Board if, at any time, the Investor owns a number of shares of Common Stock representing less than 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, for so long as the EW Investors beneficially own at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the EW Investors agreed to vote in favor of the Investor Designee at each election of the Board. The initial Investor Designee is Ye Liu.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, for so long as the Investor is entitled to designate an Investor Designee, the Investor Designee shall also serve as an observer to the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, the Audit Committee of the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board.

In addition, the Investor and the EW Investors agreed that, for so long as such investor owns a number of shares equal to at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock it owns on the Closing Date, at any meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances in which the Investor or the EW Investors, as applicable, are entitled to vote, consent or give any other approval, except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by the Issuer, the Investor and the EW Investors shall (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the shares of Common Stock owned by such investor or their respective affiliates to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and (b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all such shares of Common Stock that are beneficially owned by such investor or as to which such investor has, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting, (i) in favor of any proposals recommended by the Board for approval; and (ii) against any proposals that the Board recommends the Issuer’s stockholders vote against; provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to meetings or proposals that are inconsistent with the investor’s rights and obligations under certain agreements between the applicable investor and the Issuer.

In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (a) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Transaction Agreements and not as statements of fact, and (b) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Issuer.
