Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Contribution

In this Merger, Biogen MA received 3,060,754 shares of the Issuers Common Stock in satisfaction of the liquidation preference on its preferred stock of Genovo and 851,873 shares of
3
the Issuers Common Stock in exchange for the return by Biogen MA to Genovo of certain intellectual property and other rights. On September 30, 2002, Biogen MA received 104,854 shares of the Issuers Common Stock as additional merger consideration related to the exercise of the Genovo stock option held by the Genzyme Corporation. For a description of the Merger Agreement, see Item 4 below, which descriptions together with a copy of the Merger Agreement (Exhibit B of this Statement), are incorporated herein by reference to this Item 3.
Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Issuer and Biogen MA entered into a Funding Agreement (the Funding Agreement), dated August 8, 2000. Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, and conditioned upon the completion of the Merger, Biogen MA agreed that, during a period of three years from the date of the Funding Agreement, at the option of the Issuer and on certain terms and conditions, Biogen MA would purchase shares of the Issuers unregistered Common Stock having an aggregate market value of up to $10 million (the put option). As a result of the Issuers first exercise of the put option, on September 25, 2002 Biogen MA purchased 5,804,673 shares of Common Stock at $0.69 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.0 million, using its working capital funds. As a result of the Issuers second exercise of the put option, on August 15, 2003 Biogen MA purchased 2,515,843 shares of Common Stock at $1.91 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.8 million, using its working capital funds. For a description of the Funding Agreement, see Item 4 below, which descriptions together with a copy of the Funding Agreement (Exhibit C of this Statement), are incorporated by reference herein to this Item 3.
This Item 3 is not applicable to the persons listed on Exhibit A hereto.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Biogen MA concurrently entered into the Merger Agreement, the Funding Agreement and certain other agreements, and acquired shares of the Issuer under the Merger Agreement and the Funding Agreement, for the purpose of continuing its gene therapy research and development program.
The following is a description of the relationship among Biogen MA and the Issuer.
The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Genovo, with Genovo continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. The Merger was completed on September 19, 2000. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Issuer issued to Biogen MA 3,060,754 shares of the Issuers Common Stock in satisfaction of the liquidation preferences on the preferred stock of Genovo held by Biogen MA and 851,873 shares of the Issuers Common Stock in exchange for the return by Biogen MA to Genovo of certain intellectual property and other rights. On September 30, 2002, Biogen MA received 104,854 shares of Common Stock as additional merger consideration related to the exercise of the Genovo stock option held by the Genzyme Corporation. Under the terms of an associated Escrow Agreement, dated August 8, 2000, among the Issuer, Genovo, Genovo stockholders (represented by Biogen MA) and Mellon Investor Services, LLC as escrow agent, (the Escrow Agreement), 1,095,849 shares of the Issuers Common Stock issued to Genovo stockholders in the Merger, including 704,865 shares of the Issuers Common Stock issued to Biogen MA, were held in escrow to secure the obligations of the Genovo stockholders under the Merger Agreement, including the indemnification obligations related to representations made under the Merger Agreement and obligations related to a clinical trial and
4
the amendment of two license agreements. The escrow agent released 494,046 of the escrowed shares of the Issuers Common Stock to Biogen MA, and on November 6, 2002 Biogen MA forfeited 210,819 shares of the escrowed Issuers Common Stock to the Issuer in connection with certain claims by the Issuer under the Merger Agreement.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Issuer agreed to take all necessary action to appoint Joseph M. Davie (or a substitute Biogen MA nominee) to the Issuers board of directors upon the completion of the Merger, and to nominate Dr. Davie (or a substitute Biogen MA nominee) for election to the Issuers board of directors for two terms subsequent to his initial nomination. In addition, Biogen MA has the right to substitute a nominee at any time, provided that the substitute is an executive officer of Biogen MA.
Pursuant to the Funding Agreement, and conditioned upon the completion of the Merger, Biogen MA agreed that, during a period of three years from the date of the Funding Agreement, at the option of the Issuer and on certain terms and conditions, Biogen MA would purchase shares of the Issuers unregistered Common Stock having an aggregate market value of up to $10 million. As a result of the Issuers first exercise of this put option, on September 25, 2002 Biogen MA purchased 5,804,673 shares of Common Stock at $0.69 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.0 million, using its working capital funds. As a result of the Issuers second exercise of the put option, on August 15, 2003 Biogen MA purchased 2,515,843 shares of Common Stock at $1.91 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.8 million, using its working capital funds. The price per share paid by Biogen MA was calculated in accordance with the Funding Agreement as the average daily closing price of the Common Stock, as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market, for the period of 10 trading days ending five trading days after the date of the Issuers exercise of the put option. The Issuers ability to exercise its put option expired in September 2003. Biogen MA has not acquired any shares of the Issuer since the Issuer last exercised its put option. As of the date of this filing, Biogen MA owns in aggregate 12,127,178 shares of Common Stock. As of the date of this Statement, Biogen MA plans to sell up to 850,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, concurrently with the filing of this Statement, has filed a Form 144 for the sale of such shares. Biogen MA may, from time-to-time, sell additional shares of its Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to Rule 144 or in other transactions.
Under the Funding Agreement, Biogen MA also agreed to lend to the Issuer an amount not to exceed $10 million, to be disbursed at the Issuers discretion. As of the date of this filing, $10 million principal and interest remain outstanding on this loan, which has a maturity date of August 8, 2006. Additionally, under the Merger Agreement, Biogen MA agreed to convert $650,000 of debt payable by Genovo to Biogen MA into a $650,000 promissory note payable by the Issuer with a maturity date of September 19, 2005.
Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement, Biogen MA, the Issuer and Genovo also entered into a Development and Marketing Agreement (the Development Agreement), whereby Biogen MA and the Issuer agreed to collaborate on the development and commercialization of gene therapy products following the Issuers acquisition of Genovo. The Issuer and Biogen MA agreed to develop four new gene therapy products over a three year period beginning in September 2000, and the Issuer agreed to provide development assistance with respect to a Biogen MA gene therapy product in return for the payment by Biogen MA of an $8 million up-front fee. The Development Agreement and the collaboration of Biogen MA and the Issuer provided for by such agreement expired in September 2003.
