Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 1, 2018, Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a standstill agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. (“CVP”) with respect to the outstanding secured promissory notes issued by the Company to CVP pursuant to the securities purchase agreements dated June 29, 2017, December 8, 2017, February 26, 2018 and March 21, 2018, in each case between the Company and CVP (collectively, the “CVP Notes”). The Standstill Agreement provides that (a) CVP will agree not to exercise its right to redeem up to $500,000 aggregate amount of the CVP Notes in any calendar month (the “Monthly Redemption Right”) before November 1, 2018 (the “Initial Standstill”) and (b) to the extent that the Company redeems at least $1.5 million aggregate amount of the CVP Notes on or before October 31, 2018 (such redemption, the “Proposed Redemption”), CVP will agree not to exercise its Monthly Redemption Right with respect to any portion of the CVP Notes that remain outstanding following the Proposed Redemption until March 2019 (the “Extended Standstill,” and together with the Initial Standstill, the “Standstill”).

 

In consideration of CVP’s grant of the Standstill, CVP’s fees incurred in preparing the Standstill Agreement and other accommodations set forth in the Standstill Agreement, the Company will pay CVP a fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the total outstanding balance of the CVP Notes on November 1, 2018 (“Standstill Fee”), which Standstill Fee will be added to the outstanding balance of the oldest CVP Note still outstanding on November 1, 2018.  If the Company fails to consummate the Proposed Redemption by October 31, 2018, then CVP will have the right to redeem up to $1 million aggregate amount of the CVP Notes at any time thereafter, which for clarity, is in addition to CVP’s Monthly Redemption Right that resumes following the Initial Standstill period.

 

The Standstill Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and such document is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Standstill Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

Item 2.03   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03 in its entirety.

On October 2, 2018 Jaguar Health, Inc.

The offering closed on October 4, 2018. The shares of Common Stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants offered by the Company in this transaction were registered under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-227292), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2018, and a final prospectus filed on October 4, 2018.
