Exhibit 10.13
THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of April [●], 2021, by and among the investors listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (each an “Investor” and together, the “Investors”) and Rain Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
RECITALS
A. Each Investor holds that number of shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred”) and the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred”), set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Preferred Exchange Stock”).
B. Subject to the terms and conditions and limitations set forth herein, each Investor desires to exchange up to the number of shares of Preferred Exchange Stock set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto for shares of a newly designated Non-Voting Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Non-Voting Common”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and each of the Investors agree as follows:
Article I: Exchange
1.1 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, at the Closing (as defined below), the Applicable Number of Shares (defined below) of Preferred Exchange Stock held by each investor shall, automatically, and without any further action on the part of the Investors or the Company, be exchanged for shares of Non-Voting Common at a ratio of [●] shares of Non-Voting Common for every single share of Preferred Exchange Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Each Investor shall assign and deliver to the Company Preferred Exchange Stock (including any stock certificates representing the Applicable Number of Shares) for cancellation by the Company, free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto (collectively, “Liens”), other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws, together with any documents of conveyance or transfer that the Company may deem reasonably necessary or desirable, and in exchange therefor the Company shall issue to each Investor [●] shares of Non-Voting Common (rounded down to the nearest whole share) for each single share of Preferred Exchange Stock exchanged hereunder. The “Applicable Number of Shares” shall mean, for each Investor, such number of shares of Preferred Exchange Stock (which may be zero) as would be necessary to cause such Investor, immediately following the closing of the IPO, to beneficially own (for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”)), when aggregated with such Investor’s affiliates who are also party hereto, not more than 9.99% (or such other amount as may be agreed to by the Company and the applicable Investor) of the Company’s Voting Common Stock. The exchange of the Preferred Exchange Stock for the Non-Voting Common pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Exchange.”
1.2 Each Investor severally, and not jointly, shall be liable for only the Exchange that relates to such Investor. The Company’s agreement with each of the Investors is a separate agreement, and the Exchange with respect to each Investor is a separate exchange. The obligations of each Investor hereunder are expressly not conditioned on the exchange of the Non-Voting Stock by any or all of the other Investors.
1.3 Subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Article IV and Article V hereof (to the extent not waived in accordance therewith), the closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely immediately prior to the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering of the Company’s Voting Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (file number 333-254998) (the “IPO”) (the date on which such Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).
