Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 2, 2017 and effective as of March 31, 2017, Delcath Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate warrant repurchase agreements (the “Warrant Repurchase Agreements”) with each of the investors named on the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Company’s Securities Purchase Agreement with those investors, dated June 6, 2016 (the “SPA”); all terms used in this Current Report and not defined are used as defined in the SPA. Pursuant to the Warrant Repurchase Agreements, each investor agreed to a Controlled Account Release, in an aggregate amount equal to $7,876,312, which funds in each case are to be paid to the respective investor, in exchange for cancellation of the Warrants issued to each investor under the SPA. The Company anticipates that the cash remaining in the Controlled Accounts after this transaction will be sufficient to fund its operating activities through the end of 2017.
The cancellation of the Warrants as a result of these Warrant Repurchase Agreements represents the extinguishment of a liability from the Company’s balance sheet as of the end of fiscal year 2016 of approximately $18 million, which will help resolve the shortfall by the Company in meeting its minimum shareholder equity continued listing requirement for the Nasdaq Capital Market as of December 31, 2016, as reflected in its annual financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
