Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On October 2, 2023, Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Parent”), Yosemite Falls Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and POINT Biopharma Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), at a price of $12.50 per share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Consummation of the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (a) there shall have been validly tendered in the Offer (and not properly withdrawn) prior to the expiration of the Offer that number of Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received” by the “depository,” as such terms are defined by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)) that, when added to the Shares then owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of Parent, would represent at least a majority of the Shares outstanding as of immediately following the consummation of the Offer, (b) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (c) the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (except, generally, for any inaccuracies that have not had a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), (d) the Company’s performance in all material respects of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, (e) consent by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission of the indirect transfer of control with respect to the Company and (f) the other conditions set forth in Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Offer and Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will commence the Offer no later than 10 business days after the date of the Merger Agreement. The Offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that is 20 business days following the commencement date of the Offer, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Offer and the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than the Shares owned by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, Shares held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent, and Shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash and without interest, less any applicable tax withholding. Prior to the Effective Time, each Company stock option that is then outstanding but not then vested or exercisable shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full. At the Effective Time, each Company stock option that has an exercise price less than the Offer Price will be canceled and converted into the right to receive, for each Share underlying such Company stock option, an amount in cash without interest equal to the difference between the Offer Price and the applicable per share exercise price, less any applicable tax withholding. At the Effective Time, each Company stock option that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Offer Price will be canceled for no consideration. At the Effective Time, each Company performance stock unit will be canceled and converted into the right to receive, for each Share underlying such Company performance stock unit, an amount in cash without interest equal to the Offer Price, less any applicable tax withholding, which replacement cash award will vest and be payable at the same time as the Company performance stock unit would have vested pursuant to its terms.

 

 

 

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) determined that the Offer, the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the stockholders of the Company, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) resolved that the Merger Agreement and the Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and that the Merger will be consummated as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer without a stockholders’ meeting and (iv) resolved, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, to recommend that all stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of the business of the Company between signing and closing, governmental filings and approvals and other matters.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary non-solicitation restrictions prohibiting the Company’s solicitation alternative business combination transactions and restricts the Company’s ability to furnish non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party with respect to any such transaction, subject to customary exceptions in the event of an acquisition proposal that was not solicited in material violation of these restrictions and that the Company’s board of directors determines constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Company Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company including by either Parent or the Company if the Offer Closing Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall not have occurred on or before July 2, 2024, or by the Company to enter into an alternative transaction that constitutes a Superior Company Proposal, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of approximately $54 million.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Merger Sub or Parent.
