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-8 of this prospectus supplement, page 3 of the accompanying prospectus, and under similar headings in
the other documents that are incorporated by reference herein.
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 in clinical trials 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.

Table of Contents
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

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
S-4
Table of Contents
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.

Table of Contents
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 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 is higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will
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.
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. Holders of shares of our common
stock have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series. 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.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes to offset
future taxable income may be limited.
Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an
"ownership change," its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change taxable income may be
S-8
Table of Contents
limited.
Generally, an ownership change occurs if the percentage of the value of the stock that is owned by one or more direct or indirect "five percent shareholders" increases by more than
50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage at any time during the applicable testing period (typically, three years). We believe we have experienced an ownership change in the
past, and may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of future transactions in our stock, some of which may be outside our control. As a result, our ability to use our pre-change net
operating loss carryforwards, or other pre-change tax attributes, to offset any future U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to significant limitations.

Birinapant and SHAPE have not been, nor may ever be, approved by any regulatory agency or marketed anywhere in the world. Statements contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying
prospectus should not be deemed to be promotional.
We
may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering will be approximately
$23 million, or approximately $27 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to 937,500 additional shares of common stock, based on the public
offering price of $4.00 per share and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We
currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by us hereunder for general corporate purposes, including working capital, continued
development of our product candidate pipeline, acquisitions and other business opportunities.
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. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion
in the timing and application of these proceeds. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to temporarily invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments,
such as mutual and money market funds, bank certificates of deposit and investment-grade commercial paper, corporate notes, and government securities.

Table of Contents
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
6,250,000 shares of common stock in this offering at the public offering price of $4.00 per share and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by
us, our as adjusted net tangible book value, as of December 31, 2014, would have been approximately $46.5 million, or $1.63 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate
increase in the net tangible book value of $0.59 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of $2.37 per share of common stock to
investors purchasing common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of
the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering. This summary is not a complete analysis of all potential tax effects and does not discuss the application
of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. These
authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder of
our common stock. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to
that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.
This
discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a "capital asset" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for
investment). This discussion does
not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder's particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In
addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:
-
- U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
-
- persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
-
- persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk-reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction
or other integrated investment;
-
- banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;
-
- brokers, dealers or traders in securities;
-
- "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies" and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S.
federal income tax;
-
- partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);
-
- tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
-
- persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;
-
- persons who hold or receive our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; and
-
- tax-qualified retirement plans.
If
an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the
partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult
their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR
S-15
Table of Contents
SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL
OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.
Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder
For purposes of this discussion, a "Non-U.S. Holder" is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a "U.S. person" nor an
entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the
following:
-
- an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
-
- a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
-
- an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
-
- a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and all substantial decisions of which are under the
control of one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Distributions
We do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make
distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and
profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against
and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under "Sale or
Other Taxable Disposition."
Subject
to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%
of the gross amount of the dividends or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other
applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate. A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate,
may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to
benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.
If
dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable
income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal
withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are
effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
Any
such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may
be
S-16
Table of Contents
subject
to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits that are attributable to such
dividends, as
adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition
A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our
common stock unless:
-
- the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required
by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);
-
- the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year
of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or
-
- our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest ("USRPI") by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding
corporation ("USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Gain
described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a
corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits that are
attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items.
Gain
described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may
be offset by
U.S.-source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax
returns with respect to such losses.
With
respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on
the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or
will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to
U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is "regularly traded," as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and
constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period.
Non-U.S.
Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of dividends on our common stock to Non-U.S. Holders will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the holder either
certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed
with the IRS with respect to any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. Proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of
our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain
S-17
Table of Contents
U.S.-related
brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, provided the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above, or the holder
otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the
U.S. generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.
Copies
of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or tax information exchange agreement to the tax
authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.
Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal
income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts
Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act or "FATCA") on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Under FATCA, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on,
or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a "foreign financial institution" or a "non-financial foreign entity" (each as defined in the Code), unless
(1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any "substantial
United States owners" (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial
foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements described in
(1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain "specified United
States persons" or "United States-owned foreign entities" (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant
foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing
FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Under
the applicable Treasury Regulations, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on our common stock, and will apply to payments of gross proceeds from the
sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2017.
Prospective
investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

The
underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers' certificates
and legal opinions. The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters will purchase all of the shares if any of them are purchased. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and certain of
their controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those
liabilities.
The
underwriters are offering the shares subject to their acceptance of the shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify
offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
Option to Purchase Additional Shares
We have granted the underwriters an option, exercisable no later than 30 calendar days after the date of the underwriting agreement, to
purchase up to an aggregate of 937,500 additional shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus supplement and as indicated below. We will be obligated to sell these shares to the underwriters to the extent the option is exercised.
Discount and Expenses
The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the offering price set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.156 per share. After this offering, the public offering price and the
concession to dealers may be reduced by the underwriters. No such reduction will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.
The
following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount that we will pay to the underwriters and the proceeds we will receive before expenses. These amounts are shown
assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

We
have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses in an amount not to exceed $25,000. We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be
payable by us, excluding the underwriting discount, will be approximately $150,000, which includes legal costs and various other fees.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We have agreed with the underwriters, subject to specified exceptions not to (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant
any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Act
relating to, any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Securities, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase shares of Stock or any securities that are
convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Stock, or any such substantially similar securities, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge,
disposition or filing or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Stock, or any such other
securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of William Blair & Company, L.L.C.
Our
directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, with the underwriters not to directly or indirectly (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any common stock or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such director or executive officer or with respect to which such director or
executive officer has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file, make any demand with respect to, cause to be filed, or exercise any right with respect to any registration statement
under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly,
the economic consequence of ownership of the common stock, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The lock-up
agreements do not prohibit our directors or executive officers from transferring shares of our common stock for bona fide gifts or other estate and tax planning purposes, subject to certain
requirements, including that the transferee be subject to the same lock-up terms. The lock-up agreements do not prohibit us from issuing shares of common stock to our directors or executive officers
upon exercise of options or warrants or vesting of restricted stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus supplement.
These
restrictions will apply through and including the date that is 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.
William
Blair & Company, L.L.C. may at their discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the 90-day restricted period, without public notice, release
all or any portion of the securities subject to lock up agreements. There are no existing agreements between the underwriters and us, providing consent to the sale of shares prior to the expiration of
the lock up period.
NASDAQ Global Market Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "TLOG".
Price Stabilization and Short Positions
Until the distribution of the common stock is completed, SEC rules may limit the underwriters from bidding for and purchasing our
common stock.
S-20
Table of Contents
In
connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise make short sales of our common stock and may purchase shares of our
common stock in the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this
offering. The underwriters may close out any short position by purchasing shares of our common stock in the open market or exercising their option to purchase additional shares. A short position is
more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors
who purchase in this offering. The underwriters may also engage in "stabilizing bids," which are bids for or the purchase of shares of our common stock on behalf of the underwriters in the open market
prior to the completion of this offering for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of our common stock.
The
underwriters' purchases to cover short sales, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own account, and stabilizing bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining
the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might
otherwise exist in the open market.
In
connection with this offering, the underwriters may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market in accordance with
Rule 103 of Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of shares of our common stock in this offering and extending through the completion of distribution. A
passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid,
that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Neither
we, nor the underwriters, make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our
common
stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters makes any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued
without notice.
Affiliations
The underwriters and their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include
securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The
underwriters and their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will
receive customary fees and expenses.
In
the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity
securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities
activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in
respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short position in such securities and instruments.
Selling Restrictions
Sales of the common stock made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of certain of the underwriters.

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.
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.
3
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.
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 Information by Reference."

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.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we anticipate that the net proceeds from our sale of any securities 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.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
Any time debt securities are offered pursuant to this prospectus, we will provide a table setting forth our ratio of earnings to fixed
charges on a historical basis in the applicable prospectus supplement, if required.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We may offer shares of our common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities, warrants or units or subscription
rights to purchase any of such securities, with a total value of up to $150,000,000, from time to time in one or more offerings under this prospectus at prices and on terms to be determined by market
conditions at the time of the offering. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that we may offer. In connection with each offering, we will provide a prospectus
supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities being offered, including, to the extent applicable:
-
- designation or classification;
4
-
- aggregate offering price;
-
- rates and times of payment of dividends;
-
- redemption, conversion or exchange terms;
-
- conversion or exchange prices or rates and any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the conversion or exchange prices or rates

The
prospectus supplement also may add, update or change information contained in this prospectus or in documents we have incorporated by reference. However, no prospectus supplement
will offer a security that is not included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness or offer a security of a type that is not described in this prospectus.
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
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.
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.
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.
Our common stock shall not be entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
5
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.

We may sell the securities in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to
time:
-
- through underwriters or dealers;
9
-
- directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser; or
-
- through agents.
Each
time we offer and sell securities under this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will state the terms of the offering of the
securities, including:
-
- the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;
-
- the purchase price of such securities and the proceeds to be received by TetraLogic, if any;
-
- any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters' or agents' compensation;
-
- any public offering price;
-
- any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
-
- any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.
Any
public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If
we use underwriters in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions,
including:
-
- negotiated transactions;
-
- at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed;
-
- at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
-
- at prices related to prevailing market prices; or
-
- at negotiated prices.
Unless
otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase any securities will be conditioned on customary closing conditions and the
underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.
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
10
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.
