Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
(a) and (b)
On March 19, 2017, Cerulean, Daré and the holders of capital stock and securities convertible into capital stock of Daré named therein (the ?Selling Stockholders?) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the ?Stock Purchase Agreement?), pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, each Selling Stockholder agreed to sell to Cerulean, and Cerulean agreed to purchase from each Selling Stockholder, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, including those issuable upon conversion of convertible securities, of Daré (the ?Daré Shares?) owned by such Selling Stockholder (the ?Daré Transaction?).
The Selling Stockholders own (and will own upon conversion of all outstanding convertible securities of Daré) 100% of the outstanding Daré Shares and, following the consummation of the Daré Transaction, Daré will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Cerulean.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Daré Transaction, the Selling Stockholders will collectively receive a number of shares of Cerulean common stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Daré stock held by such Selling Stockholder multiplied by an exchange ratio calculated based on the relative valuations of each of Daré and Cerulean at the closing of the Daré Transaction. Also, in connection with the Daré Transaction, Cerulean will assume the (i) outstanding stock option awards of Daré, and (ii) outstanding warrants of Daré, each of which will be adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio for the Daré Transaction. Immediately following the closing of the Daré Transaction, the shares issued to the Selling Stockholders in the Daré Transaction are expected to represent between approximately 51% and 70% (depending on the net cash positions of Cerulean and Daré at closing) of the outstanding equity securities of Cerulean as of immediately following the consummation of the Daré Transaction.
Each of Cerulean, Daré and the Selling Stockholders has agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Purchase Agreement including, among others, covenants relating to (1) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite approvals of the stockholders of Cerulean to the Daré Voting Proposal described below, (2) non-solicitation of competing acquisition proposals by each of Cerulean and Daré, (3) Cerulean using commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the existing listing of the Company?s common stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (?NASDAQ?), and (4) Cerulean?s and Daré?s conduct of their respective businesses during the period between the date of signing the Stock Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Daré Transaction.
Consummation of the Daré Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (1) approval of the issuance of the shares of the Company?s common stock in the Daré Transaction by the stockholders of Cerulean in accordance with applicable NASDAQ rules (the ?Daré Voting Proposal?), (2) the absence of any order, executive order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction or statute, rule or regulation that makes the consummation of the Daré Transaction illegal, or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Daré Transaction, and (3) the approval of the NASDAQ Initial Listing Application?For Companies Conducting a Business Combination that Results in a Change of Control with respect to the shares of Cerulean common stock to be issued in connection with the Daré Transaction. Each party?s obligation to consummate the Daré Transaction is also subject to other specified customary conditions, including (1) the representations and warranties of the other party being true and correct as of the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement and as of the closing date of the Daré Transaction, generally subject to an overall material adverse effect qualification, and (2) the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Cerulean and Daré, and further provides that, upon termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement under specified circumstances, Cerulean may be required to pay Daré a termination fee of $300,000, or Daré may be required to pay Cerulean a termination fee of $450,000.
