EVOFEM BIOSCIENCES, INC. LETTER AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
, 2019
Dear Warrant Holders,
Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”) understands that you own one or more Warrants to purchase Common Stock identified on Schedule A hereto (the “Warrants”; and each such Warrant holder, a “Warrant Holder”). The Warrants were issued pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement and the Warrants. Evofem desires that you exercise your Warrants in order to generate cash funds for Evofem. To accomplish that Evofem is willing to reduce the Exercise Price of the Warrants and issue additional warrants to the Warrant Holders to purchase Common Stock, as an inducement to you to presently exercise your Warrant(s) according to the terms set forth below.
Terms of this Letter Agreement
(1)This Letter Agreement constitutes an amendment to your outstanding Warrants as follows: Evofem hereby temporarily allows the Warrants to be exercised in full for an Exercise Price equal to $[____]1. The reduction of the Exercise Price shall be effective only from the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) through 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on [____], 2019, three (3) Trading Days hereafter (the “End Date”). During that time the Warrants will be able to be exercised in full on the preferential terms described in this Letter Agreement on a cash only basis pursuant to Section 10 of your Warrant.
(2) In addition to the reduction of the Exercise Price, the Warrant Holders of the Warrants identified on Schedule A will receive, upon exercise of your Warrants, a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reload Warrant”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant Shares listed next to such Warrant Holder’s name on Schedule A upon exercise of the Warrant prior to the End Date. The Warrants, Reload Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Reload Warrants (the “Reload Warrant Shares”) shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Securities”. The Reload Warrant will be delivered in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. The Reload Warrant will be deemed issued pursuant to this Letter Agreement.
(3) If the Warrants are not exercised in full per the terms of this Agreement prior to the End Date, then this Agreement shall no longer apply, no Reload Warrants will be issued to the Warrant Holders, and the Warrants will continue to be exercisable in accordance with their current terms.
(4) Within thirty (30) days of the Original Issue Date, Evofem shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Reload Warrant Shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, including any pre- and post-effective amendments thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if Evofem is not then eligible to register for resale the Reload Warrant Shares on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Warrant Holder shall promptly provide such information as Evofem may reasonably request in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. Evofem shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the

1
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Reload Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for Evofem to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to Evofem pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Warrant Holders. Evofem shall, on the Trading Day after the effective date of the Registration Statement, file a final prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.
(5) The Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are presently registered pursuant to the Registration Statement as defined in the Warrant. To the extent not already disclosed or contemplated by the disclosures in a Form 8-K filed by Evofem, Evofem will file a Form 8-K with the Commission disclosing the effectuation of the reduction of the Exercise Price and the other terms of this Letter Agreement within four (4) Business Days after the Effective Date.
