Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 5, 2020, Celsion Corporation (the “Company”) delivered notice to Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Aspire Capital”), terminating the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2019 (the “2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital effective as of March 6, 2020. The 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital was committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over the 24-month term of the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement at a price equal to (i) the lowest sale price of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date; or (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date. In consideration for entering into the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

On November 8, 2019, the Company filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering all the shares of common stock that may be offered to Aspire Capital from time to time under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement. From October 28, 2019 through the date of termination, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement generating proceeds of $2.3 million. Upon termination, the Company has no further obligations under the 2019 Aspire Purchase Agreement.
