On September 20, 2017, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Underwriters in a public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 5,100,000 Class A Units at a public offering price of $0.25 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and a warrant to purchase one share of common, and (ii) 8,225 Class B Units at a public offering price of $1,000 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock. The Preferred Shares, which are convertible into an aggregate of 32,900,000 shares of Common Stock, include a beneficial ownership blocker but have no dividend rights (except to the extent that dividends are also paid on the Common Stock), liquidation preference or other preferences over common stock, and have no voting rights.

 

In addition, the Underwriters were granted an option for a period of 45 days to purchase up to an additional 5,700,000 shares of Common Stock and/or additional warrants to purchase up to 5,700,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company entered into a warrant agency agreement (the “Warrant Agency Agreement”) with its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, who will act as warrant agent for the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of the warrants sold in the Offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.25, are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
