Item 4.                     Purpose of Transaction

 

As of November 2, 2016, Whitebox Relative Value Partners L.P., Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners L.P., Pandora Select Partners, L.P., Whitebox GT Fund L.P., Lazard Asset Management LLC, Linden Advisors LP, Nomura Securities International, Inc., Telemetry Securities LLC, Geode Diversified Fund,  Hudson Bay Capital Management LP, Highbridge International LLC, Highbridge Tactical Credit & Convertible Master Fund, L.P., and CPFD (together, the Noteholders) held 100% of the Issuers 8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 outstanding (the Senior Notes), in an aggregate principal amount of $43,750,000.  Under the Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2014 between the Issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the Indenture), prior to February 15, 2019, the Senior Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder only upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, without limitation if a transaction or event that would, if consummated, constitute a Fundamental Change occurs prior to February 15, 2019.  A Fundamental Change includes, among other things, the sale, lease or other transfer in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  The Senior Notes convert into Common Stock at a conversion rate of 148.3019 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Indenture.

On November 2, 2016, the Issuer and its wholly-owned subsidiary TetraLogic Research and Development Corporation entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the APA) to, subject to closing conditions, sell the Business (as defined below) (the Asset Sale) to Medivir AB, a publicly traded Swedish company (Nasdaq Stockholm: MVIR) ( Medivir). Under the APA, the Issuer agreed to sell substantially all of the assets relating to the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of SMAC mimetics and HDAC inhibitors, including birinapant and SHP-141 (the Business) to Medivir for a purchase price of (i) $12 million payable in cash at closing plus an amount equal to the aggregate expense payable to INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial currently estimated to be $275,000 (the Closing Payment), plus (ii) milestone payments and earn-out payments, subject to the satisfaction of certain contingencies, as further described in the APA.

 

The Asset Sale, if consummated, would constitute a Fundamental Change under the Indenture.  On November 2, 2016, the Senior Notes held by CPFD as of November 2, 2016, in an aggregate principal amount of $3,261,000 became convertible, at the option of CPFD, into 483,612 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.9% of the Common Stock of the Issuer.  The percent of class is calculated based on 24,769,083 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 28, 2016 as reported in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

On November 2, 2016, the Issuer entered into a binding letter agreement (the Debt Exchange Term Sheet) with the Noteholders pursuant to which the Issuer and the Noteholders agreed to enter into an Exchange and Consent Agreement (the Exchange Agreement and together with the Debt Exchange Term Sheet, the Exchange Documents) to exchange $2.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes for 12,222,225 shares of newly issued series A convertible participating preferred stock of the Issuer (the Preferred Stock). Following the consummation of the Note Exchange, approximately $41,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Remaining Senior Notes) will remain outstanding.

 

On November 14, 2016, the Issuer and each of the Noteholders entered into Exchange Agreements to effect the note exchange described in the preceding paragraph (the Note Exchange).  The Note Exchange is expected to be consummated within three business days of the effective date of the Exchange Agreement.  Under the Exchange Agreement, CPFD agreed to exchange $163,982 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for 911,011 shares of Preferred Stock in the Note Exchange.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock, at the option of the holder during the period commencing on the business day immediately following the later of the date upon which (i) the shares of Common Stock have been deregistered under the Act, and (ii) the Company receives a milestone or earn-out payment pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 of the APA (or other payment in lieu thereof).

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Documents, the Noteholders agreed to: (i) the Exchange as set forth in the Exchange Agreement (ii) the consummation of the Asset Sale (including voting their shares of Preferred Stock in favor of such Asset Sale), and (iii) the Issuers use of $12 million of the Closing Payment to pay the outstanding amounts due under the Remaining Senior Notes in the first instance.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Documents, the Noteholders also agreed (i) to waive any put right for their Senior Notes related to the Asset Sale or a suspension of trading and delisting of the Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market as well as any right to receive cash payments of the interest on the Senior Notes, and agreed instead that such interest will continue to accrue until paid and (ii) to extend the maturity date of the Remaining Senior Notes until June 15, 2024. These waivers and extension will automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect as if they had never been provided if the APA is terminated or the Asset Sale is not completed for any reason.

 

4


 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, each Noteholder also agreed to waive its right to convert any of the principal amount of the Senior Notes into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article 11 of the Indenture unless and until the date upon which the Company receives a milestone or earn-out payment pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 of the APA (or other payment in lieu thereof).

 

Upon the closing of the Asset Sale, the Noteholders and the Issuer will enter into a supplemental indenture to permanently waive or otherwise amend the indenture for the Senior Notes to reflect these waivers and extension.

 

The summaries of the Exchange Documents are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the texts of the agreements, which are referenced as Exhibits to this Schedule 13D.
