Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 11, 2020, Cellectar Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (the “Sales Agent”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell (the “Offering”) from time to time through the Sales Agent, up to $14.5 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Sales of the Common Stock, if any, may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Sales Agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Common Stock, but will act as a sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, on mutually agreed terms between the Sales Agent and the Company. The Sales Agent will receive from the Company a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement also contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. Net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

The offering of the Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the sale of all Common Stock subject to the Sales Agreement, and (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement by the Company or the Sales Agent.

 

The Common Stock would be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 filed on August 11, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Act (File No. 333-244362) and a prospectus filed therewith with respect to the Offering. The Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective by the Commission and no offers or sales may be made under the Sales Agreement unless and until the Registration Statement is declared effective.

 

The Sales Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the description of the Sales Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. The foregoing summaries of the Sales Agreement and the Offering by the Company do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
