On November 30, 2018, Auris Medical Holding AG (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell common shares of the Company, nominal value CHF 0.02 per share, from time to time through A.G.P., as the Company’s sales agent for the offer and sale of the shares. Sales of the shares, if any, are to be made under the Company’s shelf registration statement filed on Form F-3 (File No. 333-228121) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective on November 14, 2018, for an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. However, due to the offering limitations applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3 and the Company’s public float as of November 29, 2018, and in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may offer common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $3.25 million pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated November 30, 2018 relating to the Registration Statement.

 

The Company is not obligated to sell any shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, A.G.P. will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market, to sell shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions that the Company may impose.

 

Under the Sales Agreement, A.G.P. may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NASDAQ Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for the shares or to or through a market maker.
