Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 21, 2024, Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “us” or “we”) entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Sales Agent”) under which we may issue and sell in a registered “at the market offering” shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.4 million from time to time through or to our Sales Agent (the “ATM Offering”). We expect to use net proceeds, if any, from the ATM Offering over time for continued research and development for our portfolio of drug candidates, especially our oncology products, and working capital and general corporate purposes.
Sales of the Shares through the Sales Agent, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sales Agent will offer the Shares at prevailing market prices and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such offerings consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. We will pay the Sales Agent an aggregate of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement. We also may sell some or all of the Shares to the Sales Agent as principal for their own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale.
We are not obligated to make any sales of our common stock under the Sales Agreement and no assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Sales Agreement, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place. The Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of our common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement as provided therein.
This description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The issuance and sale of Shares, if any, by the Company under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3, once effective, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 21, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company’s prospectus supplement relating to the offering filed therewith that forms part of the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and prospectus supplement have been filed with the SEC but are not yet effective. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of common stock nor shall there be any sale of shares of common stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
