With this new financing from Dr. Soon-Shiong, including the extension of the maturity date of current debt, ImmunityBio believes that it is well-positioned to fund its ongoing business operations and pre-commercialization efforts as it continues to drive toward a potential regulatory approval of N-803 plus BCG for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The new $200 million convertible note with Nant Capital has a three-year term and is convertible into shares of ImmunityBio common stock at a conversion price of a fifty percent (50%) premium over the closing market price immediately preceding the date of the note. In addition, the financing transactions restructure the Company’s existing debt obligations with the Nant entities, including an extension of the nearest term debt maturities by one year to December 2024. Further, ImmunityBio executed a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which all of the outstanding fixed-rate promissory notes held by Nant Capital and certain other Nant entities, representing approximately $270 million in aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest as of September 8, 2023, were exchanged for ImmunityBio common stock, based on the closing stock price on September 8, 2023. “Our Company, scientists, physicians and Board are grateful to Dr. Soon-Shiong for his continued financial support of our Company and its important mission, as well as for his involvement in our day-to-day operations,” said Richard Adcock, Chief Executive Officer and President of ImmunityBio. “With this additional financing, we are well positioned to execute on our commercialization plans in anticipation of the approval of N-803 plus BCG in bladder cancer. This funding will also help support the planned expansion of our current clinical trials and the opening of new studies to explore the untapped potential of N-803 and our other platforms across multiple indications.” “I remain fully committed to ImmunityBio’s mission and to ensuring the company has the resources it needs to achieve its goals and be successful,” said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer of ImmunityBio. “As a scientist and physician, I believe in the science behind our therapeutics and look forward to continuing to work with our team members through this critical stage in our Company’s evolution. ImmunityBio has taken on the enormous challenge of transforming the current approaches of cancer care and even preventing the onset of cancer, by activating the patient’s own immune system and developing a NANT cancer vaccine (NCV). The company is unique in that it owns the multiple immunotherapy platforms needed to orchestrate the trifecta approach (NK, T cell and Dendritic cell activation) to accomplish this vaccine, and that these unencumbered molecules and cell therapies are all at various stages of clinical trials. We recognize the enormity of such a challenge and this investment will enable the scientists and physicians to pursue the goal of potentially curing cancer in our lifetime.” About ImmunityBio ImmunityBio is a vertically-integrated, clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies and vaccines that bolster the natural immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. The company’s range of immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms, alone and together, act to drive and sustain an immune response with the goal of creating durable and safe protection against disease. We are applying our science and platforms to treating cancers, including the development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases.
