Common Stock

 

We have entered into a sales agreement with Guggenheim Securities, LLC, or Guggenheim, relating to shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.  In accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000 from time to time through Guggenheim as our sales agent or to Guggenheim for its own account in principal transactions.

 

Our common stock is listed on NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ, under the symbol “TLOG.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on NASDAQ on March 12, 2015 was $4.77 per share.

 

Guggenheim may sell shares of our common stock by methods deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, including sales made directly on NASDAQ, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker.  In addition, with our prior written approval, Guggenheim may also sell shares of our common stock by any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions. Guggenheim will act as sales agent using its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. Under the terms of the sales agreement, we also may sell shares of our common stock to Guggenheim, as principal for its own account, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to Guggenheim, as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with Guggenheim, and we will describe such agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and will therefore be eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement, page 2 of the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

Guggenheim will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate equal to 2.50% of the gross sales price of all shares sold through it as sales agent under the sales agreement.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-201346) that we initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on January 2, 2015, and that was declared effective by the SEC on January 15, 2015. This document is in two parts.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, and does not contain all of the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. You should carefully read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the risks of investing in our securities discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement, page 2 of the accompanying prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference herein. When we refer to “TetraLogic,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this prospectus supplement, we mean TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule therapeutics in oncology and infectious diseases.  We currently have two clinical-stage product candidates in development: birinapant and suberohydroxamic acid 4-methoxycarbonyl phenyl ester, or SHAPE.

 

Birinapant is a novel small molecule therapeutic that mimics Second Mitochondrial Activator of Caspases, or SMAC-mimetic, which leads to apoptosis, or cell-death, in damaged cells.  We have treated over 300 oncology subjects with birinapant, and in non-randomized clinical trials to date, we have seen activity in subjects with (i) higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS, where we have observed complete bone marrow responses with birinapant administered with azacitidine (Vidaza®); (ii) end-stage acute myeloid leukemia, where birinapant was administered as a single-agent and subjects who have previously relapsed or were refractory to standard therapy experienced declines in blast counts; (iii) ovarian cancer, where birinapant was administered with conatumumab (AMG 655), we have observed disease stabilization and a partial response, or PR, in women who previously relapsed or were refractory to standard therapy; and (iv) colorectal cancer, where birinapant was administered with irinotecan, we have observed evidence of anti-tumor activity or prolonged disease stabilization in subjects who have progressed after multiple prior therapies, including irinotecan.

 

Most recently, we have generated pre-clinical data indicating that birinapant induces apoptosis in-vivo in mouse hepatocytes infected with human hepatitis B virus, or HBV.  In a mouse model, we have seen clearance of HBV surface antigen, or HBsAg, and the appearance of antibodies directed against HBsAg, a clinical finding considered equivalent to a functional cure.  We have also seen activity of birinapant in other infectious disease models, including human mononuclear cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, in-vitro, and in-vivo in mouse models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and legionella pneumophila.

 

We are currently conducting the following three clinical programs with birinapant:

 

·                  In June 2014, we commenced a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of birinapant administered with azacitidine in subjects with previously untreated, higher risk MDS.  Interim data is expected in 2015.  This clinical trial follows our Phase 1b/2a open-label clinical trial of birinapant administered with azacitidine.

 

·                  We are continuing enrollment in a Phase 1/2 open-label, non-randomized clinical trial of birinapant administered with conatumumab in third-line ovarian cancer.  In December 2014, this clinical trial proceeded into a Phase 2a expansion based upon data in the Phase 1 portion of the clinical trial.  Phase 2a clinical trial data is expected in 2015.

 

·                  We recently initiated a randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose Phase 1 clinical trial in subjects with chronic HBV currently taking entecavir or tenofovir.  Data is expected in 2015.

 

We discovered birinapant, and its composition of matter patent in the U.S. extends until at least 2030.  We have retained worldwide development and commercialization rights for all indications.

SHAPE, our second clinical-stage product candidate, is a histone deacetylase, or HDAC, inhibitor that we are developing for topical use for the treatment of early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, or CTCL.  HDAC is a validated cancer target, and HDAC inhibitors, or HDACi, are a proven class of anti-cancer drugs for CTCL.  SHAPE is a novel therapeutic, designed to maximize HDAC inhibition locally in the skin with limited systemic exposure, and it has characteristics that could allow its topical use over large body surface areas with minimal systemic absorption.  By potentially avoiding toxicities typical of systemically-administered HDACi’s, SHAPE may provide a more favorable safety profile than current HDACi’s delivered orally or intravenously.  SHAPE has been evaluated in a randomized, placebo-controlled dose escalation Phase 1 clinical trial in early-stage CTCL.  SHAPE was well-tolerated, and it demonstrated evidence of clinical activity with PRs observed in certain subjects after 28 days of application.  We commenced a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of SHAPE in subjects with early-stage CTCL in December 2014, which will assess clinical activity after six months of application.  Data for this clinical trial is expected in 2015.

 

SHAPE’s composition of matter patent in the U.S. extends until at least 2028.  In addition, SHAPE has been granted U.S. orphan drug designation for CTCL.  We have acquired worldwide development and commercialization rights to SHAPE for all indications.

 

You can get more information regarding our business and industry by reading our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other reports we file with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

 

Corporate Information

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 343 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355, and our telephone number is (610) 889-9900. Our website address is www.tlog.com. The content contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. We make available free of charge on our website our annual, quarterly and current reports, including amendments to such reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the SEC.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of exemptions from various disclosure and reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to:

 

·                  not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·                  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in each case, instead of three years;

 

·                  being permitted to present the same number of years of selected financial data as the years of audited financial statements presented, instead of five years;

 

·                  reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, including no Compensation Disclosure and Analysis;

 

·                  not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; and

 

·                  exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We may choose to take advantage of some or all of the available exemptions. We have taken advantage of some of the reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus. Accordingly, the scope of the information contained herein may be different than the scope of the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock. We do not know if some investors will find our shares less attractive as a result of our utilization of these or other exemptions. The result may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.0 billion; (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period; and (d) the last day of our fiscal year containing the fifth anniversary of the date on which shares of our common stock become publicly traded in the United States.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any documents incorporated by reference herein. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Further, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds of this offering and, despite our efforts, we may use the proceeds in a manner that does not improve our operating results or increase the value of your investment.

 

We currently anticipate that the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, continued development of our product candidate pipeline, acquisitions, retirement of debt and other business opportunities. However, we have not determined the specific allocation of the net proceeds among these potential uses. Our management will have broad discretion over the use and investment of the net proceeds of this offering, and, accordingly, investors in this offering will need to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of proceeds, with only limited information concerning our specific intentions. These proceeds could be applied in ways that do not improve our operating results or increase the value of your investment. Please see the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” on page S-12 of this prospectus supplement for further information.

 

If you purchase the common stock sold in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution as a result of this offering and future equity issuances.

 

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered may be higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you may suffer immediate substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. See the section entitled “Dilution” on page S-13 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.

 

Because the sales of the shares offered hereby will be made directly into the market or in negotiated transactions, the prices at which we sell these shares will vary and these variations may be significant.  Purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested.

 

S-7



Table of Contents

 

The issuance of additional shares of our common stock in future offerings could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings. Moreover, to the extent that we issue options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future and those options, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, stockholders may experience further dilution.

The amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds from this offering will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, research and development efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and commercialization efforts and technological advances. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by us hereunder.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities (excluding contingent consideration and deferred taxes related to the intangible assets), by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2014 was approximately $23.3 million, or $1.04 per share. After giving effect to the assumed sale by us of an aggregate of $25.0 million in shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $4.77 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on NASDAQ on March 12, 2015, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value, as of December 31, 2014, would have been approximately $47.6 million, or $1.73 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.69 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of $3.04 per share of common stock to investors purchasing common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 5,241,090 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $4.77 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on NASDAQ on March 12, 2015. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $0.25 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $4.77 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the gross aggregate amount of $25.0 million is sold at that price, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $1.74 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $3.28 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $0.25 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $4.77 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the gross aggregate amount of $25.0 million is sold at that price, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $1.71 per share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $2.81 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares offered.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into a sales agreement with Guggenheim, under which we may issue and sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million through Guggenheim acting as agent or to Guggenheim for its own account in principal transactions. The form of the sales agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a report filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. Sales of our shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on NASDAQ at market prices. As agent, Guggenheim will not engage in any transactions that stabilize our common stock.

 

Guggenheim will offer our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and Guggenheim. We will designate the maximum amount of our common stock to be sold through Guggenheim on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with Guggenheim. Subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, Guggenheim will use its commercially reasonable efforts as the agent to sell on our behalf all of the designated shares of our common stock. We may instruct Guggenheim not to sell our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. We may suspend the offering of our common stock under the sales agreement by notifying Guggenheim. Guggenheim may suspend the offering of our common stock under the agreement by notifying us of such suspension.

 

Guggenheim will receive from us a commission equal to 2.50% of the gross sales price per share for any shares sold through it as our agent under the sales agreement. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such shares. We have agreed to reimburse Guggenheim for up to $75,000 of their legal expenses in certain circumstances.

 

Guggenheim will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on NASDAQ each day on which shares of our common stock are sold by it for us under the sales agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the gross sales price per share and the net proceeds to us.

 

Settlement for sales of our common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the third business day following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. Under the terms of the sales agreement, we also may sell shares of common stock to Guggenheim, as principal for its own account, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to Guggenheim as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with Guggenheim.

 

We will report in a prospectus supplement and/or our Exchange Act filings at least quarterly the number of shares of our common stock sold through Guggenheim under the sales agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to Guggenheim in connection with the sales of our common stock.

 

S-15



Table of Contents

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock on our behalf, Guggenheim may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to Guggenheim may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the sales agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Guggenheim against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Guggenheim and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and will receive customary compensation. Guggenheim and its affiliates also have counterparty trading relationships with us.

 

If Guggenheim or we have reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied, that party will promptly notify the other and sales of our common stock under the sales agreement will be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of Guggenheim and us.

 

The offering of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of shares having an aggregate offering price of $25.0 million pursuant to the sales agreement or (ii) the termination of the sales agreement by us or by Guggenheim.

 

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding discounts and commissions payable to Guggenheim under the sales agreement, will be approximately $100,000.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements.  All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management.  Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made.  However, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made.  We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.  In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.  Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as any other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus or include in any applicable prospectus supplement.  You should read this prospectus and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in their entireties.

TETRALOGIC PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION

 

Overview

 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule therapeutics in oncology and infectious diseases.  We currently have two clinical-stage product candidates in development: birinapant and suberohydroxamic acid 4-methoxycarbonyl phenyl ester, or SHAPE.

 

Birinapant is a novel small molecule therapeutic that mimics Second Mitochondrial Activator of Caspases, or SMAC-mimetic, which leads to apoptosis, or cell-death, in damaged cells.  We have treated over 300 oncology subjects with birinapant, and in non-randomized studies to date, we have seen activity in subjects with (i) higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS, where we have observed complete responses in combination with azacitidine (Vidaza®); (ii) end-stage acute myeloid leukemia, where as a single-agent, birinapant caused declines in blast counts previously relapsed or refractory to standard therapy; (iii) ovarian cancer, where in combination with conatumumab, we have observed disease stabilization and a partial response in women who previously relapsed or were refractory to standard therapy; and (iv) colorectal cancer where, in combination with irinotecan, we have observed evidence of anti-tumor activity or prolonged disease stabilization in subjects who have progressed after multiple prior therapies, including irinotecan.

Table of Contents

 

Most recently, we have generated pre-clinical data indicating that birinapant induces apoptosis in-vivo in mouse hepatocytes infected with human hepatitis B virus, or HBV.  In a mouse model, we have seen clearance of HBV surface antigen, or HBsAg, and the appearance of antibodies directed against HBsAg, a clinical finding considered equivalent to a functional cure.  We have also seen activity of birinapant in other infectious disease models, including human mononuclear cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, in-vitro, and in-vivo in mouse models of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Legionella pneumophila.

 

We are currently conducting the following three clinical programs with birinapant:

 

·                  In June 2014, we commenced a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial of birinapant in combination with azacitidine in subjects with previously untreated, higher risk MDS.  Interim data is expected in 2015.  This clinical trial follows our phase 1b/2a open-label clinical trial of birinapant in combination with azacitidine.

 

·                  We are continuing enrollment in a phase 1/2 clinical trial of birinapant in combination with conatumumab in third-line ovarian cancer.  In December 2014, this clinical trial proceeded into a phase 2a expansion based upon data in the phase 1 portion of the clinical trial.  Phase 2a clinical trial data is expected in 2015.

 

·                  We recently initiated a randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose phase 1 clinical trial in subjects with chronic HBV currently taking entecavir or tenofovir.  Data is expected in 2015.

 

We discovered birinapant, and its composition of matter patent in the U.S. extends until at least 2030.  TetraLogic has retained worldwide development and commercialization rights for all indications.

 

SHAPE, our second clinical-stage product candidate, is a histone deacetylase, or HDAC, inhibitor that we are developing for topical use for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, or CTCL.  HDAC is a validated cancer target, and HDAC inhibitors are a proven class of anti-cancer drugs for CTCL.  SHAPE is a novel therapeutic, designed to maximize HDAC inhibition locally in the skin with limited systemic exposure, and it has characteristics that could allow its topical use over large body surface areas with minimal systemic absorption.  By potentially avoiding toxicities typical of systemically-administered HDAC inhibitors, SHAPE may provide a more favorable safety profile than current HDAC inhibitors delivered orally or intravenously.  SHAPE has been evaluated in a randomized, placebo-controlled dose escalation phase 1 clinical trial in early-stage CTCL.  SHAPE was well-tolerated, and it demonstrated evidence of clinical activity with partial responses observed in certain subjects after 28 days of application.  We have commenced a randomized phase 2 clinical trial of SHAPE in subjects with early-stage CTCL, which will assess clinical activity after six months of application.  Data for this clinical trial is expected in 2015.

 

SHAPE’s composition of matter patent in the U.S. extends until at least 2028.  In addition, SHAPE has been granted U.S. orphan drug designation for CTCL.  We have acquired worldwide development and commercialization rights to SHAPE for all indications.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.  As of September 30, 2014, 22,307,138 shares of our common stock, and no shares of our preferred stock, were outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, other than election of directors, which shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election of such director.  In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding voting stock will be required to take certain actions, including amending certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, such as the provisions relating to the classified board and director liability, the prohibition on action by written consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, amending our bylaws, removing directors without cause or changing the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware from being the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions brought by our stockholders against us or our directors, officers or employees.

 

Dividends

 

Subject to the preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock shall be entitled to receive ratably any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.

Liquidation

 

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock shall be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock.

 

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

 

Our common stock shall not be entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We may issue any class of preferred stock in any series.  Our board of directors has the authority to establish and designate series, and to fix the number of shares included in each such series and the variations in the relative rights, preferences and limitations as between series, provided that, if the stated dividends and amounts payable on liquidation are not paid in full, the shares of all series of the same class shall share ratably in the payment of dividends including accumulations, if any, in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such shares if all dividends were declared and paid in full, and in any distribution of assets other than by way of dividends in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable were discharged in full. Shares of each series when issued shall be designated to distinguish the shares of each series from shares of all other series.  Our board of directors also can increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding.

 

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock.  The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

Table of Contents

 

We may sell the securities through agents from time to time and may enter into arrangements for “at-the-market” offerings or similar transactions.  The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to them.  Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. An agent may also choose to purchase securities for its own account, as principal.

 

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from TetraLogic at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future.  The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

 

In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, any broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales.  Any profits realized by such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

Underwriters and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with TetraLogic to indemnification by TetraLogic against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make.  Underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for TetraLogic and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

Each series of securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market other than the common stock which is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.  Any underwriters to whom securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.  The securities, other than the common stock, may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange.

 

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in other transactions with us, or perform other services for us, in the ordinary course of their business.
