Explanatory Note

We are filing this registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. Under this registered “shelf,” in the future, we may, from time to time, sell any combination of the securities described herein, in one or more offerings, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $400,000,000.

We currently have an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-257709, which was declared effective on July 16, 2021, or the 2021 Registration Statement. The 2021 Registration Statement expires on July 15, 2024 pursuant to Rule 415(a)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. In accordance with Rule 415(a)(6), the offering of securities on the 2021 Registration Statement will be deemed terminated as of the date of effectiveness of this registration statement. During the grace period afforded by Rule 415(a)(5) under the Securities Act, we may continue to offer and sell under the 2021 Registration Statement the unsold securities being registered hereunder. One of the offerings registered under the 2021 Registration Statement was the offering of our common stock under a sales agreement we entered into with Evercore Group L.L.C. on July 6, 2021, or the Sales Agreement. In addition, shares issuable upon the exercise of an aggregate of 38,616,839 warrants are registered under the 2021 Registration Statement that remain outstanding and unexercised. This registration statement will allow us to ensure that an effective registration statement covers the exercise of these outstanding warrants.

Accordingly, this registration statement contains three prospectuses:

 

   

a base prospectus which covers the potential future offering, issuance and sale of such indeterminate number of shares of common stock and preferred stock, principal amount of debt securities, and warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, which together shall have an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $400,000,000;

 

   

a sales agreement prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale of shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 that may be issued and sold under the Sales Agreement; and

 

   

a warrant exercise offering prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of 38,616,839 shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding on May 9, 2024.

The base prospectus immediately follows this explanatory note. The specific terms of any securities to be offered pursuant to the base prospectus will be specified in a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus. The sales agreement prospectus supplement immediately follows the base prospectus. The shares of common stock that may be offered, issued and sold under the sales agreement prospectus supplement are included in the $400,000,000 of securities that may be offered, issued and sold under the base prospectus. In the event of the termination of the Sales Agreement, any portion of the $100,000,000 included in the sales agreement prospectus supplement that is not sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be available for sale in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus. The warrant exercise offering prospectus supplement immediately follows the sales agreement prospectus supplement.

Company Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases. Our lead program, molgramostim nebulizer solution, or molgramostim, is an inhaled biologic, specifically an inhaled recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or (rh)GM-CSF, which is in Phase 3 development for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, or aPAP. Molgramostim is delivered via an investigational eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI Pharma GmbH), which has been optimized for molgramostim administration. Our management team has significant experience in orphan drug development and pulmonary medicine, identifying unmet needs, and effectively advancing product candidates to approval and commercialization.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, or PAP, is a rare lung disease characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in the alveoli (or air sacs) of the lungs. There are different types of PAP, of which aPAP is the most common. The estimated prevalence of aPAP is seven cases per million people in the U.S. The disease process underlying aPAP involves an autoimmune response against a naturally occurring protein, GM-CSF, suppressing the stimulating activity of GM-CSF on lung macrophages. Alveolar macrophages require GM-CSF signaling to maintain homeostasis between surfactant production and surfactant clearance. Specifically, the GM-CSF autoantibodies suppress GM-CSF signaling that activates lung macrophages to clear surfactant—resulting in excess surfactant accumulation that blocks movement of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood. Reduced oxygenation can make it hard to breathe and can, ultimately, lead to hypoxemic respiratory failure. Patients may also experience cough, fatigue, as well as episodes of fever, especially if secondary lung infection develops. In the long term, the disease can lead to serious complications, including lung fibrosis and the need for a lung transplant. Currently, there are no therapies approved for the treatment of aPAP. The only treatment currently available for aPAP is a procedure called whole lung lavage, or WLL, which entails washing out the lungs with saline, most commonly, one lung at a time, under general anesthesia. By its nature, WLL is an invasive and inconvenient procedure that requires hospitalization and highly experienced physicians at specialized sites. Based on published investigator-sponsored treatment experience with inhaled GM-CSF and data from the IMPALA trial, we believe inhaled molgramostim has the potential to restore GM-CSF signaling, thus activating the surfactant clearing activity of the alveolar macrophages. If approved, molgramostim could become the first-line treatment for aPAP.

In May 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, granted Fast Track Designation to molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP. Fast Track Designation facilitates the development and expedites the review of new drugs or biologics intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. In December 2019, although the data from our IMPALA Phase 2/3 study did not meet the regulatory requirement for approval, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation

for molgramostim in aPAP based on data from the 24-week double-blind treatment period from the IMPALA trial. Additionally, molgramostim was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of aPAP in the United States and the European Union, which allows for seven and ten years of exclusivity from approval, respectively. Savara has exclusive access to the proprietary eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI) for this indication along with a proprietary cell bank for the active drug substance of molgramostim. Additionally, in the United Kingdom molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP was granted Innovation Passport (June 2022) and Promising Innovative Medicine (August 2022) designations by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or the MHRA. These designations provide the opportunity for enhanced dialogue and input from the MHRA and the Health Technology Assessment bodies in England, Scotland, and Wales.

In 2019, we announced that IMPALA, our Phase 2/3 clinical trial of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP, did not meet its primary endpoint of alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient, or (A-a)DO2, improvement compared to placebo and that the FDA indicated the data from the IMPALA trial did not provide sufficient evidence of efficacy and safety. The totality of data from the IMPALA trial gives us confidence that molgramostim has the potential to address significant unmet need in this rare disease. These data extend beyond the primary endpoint and include: (i) multiple key secondary and exploratory endpoints that either achieved statistical significance or trended in favor of the active drug arms, (ii) results from the open-label period of the trial that demonstrated a sustained treatment effect, or continued improvement, after longer term exposure to molgramostim, and (iii) molgramostim being generally well tolerated. In September 2020, results from the IMPALA trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. We consider molgramostim to have a favorable risk-benefit profile and remain confident in the future of the program, including the current Phase 3 IMPALA-2 trial.

We are currently conducting IMPALA-2, a global, multicenter Phase 3, 48-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of molgramostim 300 mcg administered once daily by inhalation with matching placebo in patients with aPAP. The primary efficacy variable is the change from baseline in percent predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), a gas exchange measure. Three secondary efficacy variables will evaluate clinical measures of direct patient benefit: St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score, SGRQ Activity Component Score, and exercise capacity using a treadmill test. Other efficacy variables will include (A-a)DO2 (another gas exchange measure), supplemental oxygen use, WLL frequency, patient and clinician global impression of disease severity and disease change, chest CT scan to assess lung opacity, blood biomarkers, etc. The primary time point for efficacy assessment will be at week 24, however, efficacy will be assessed through week 48 to show durability of effect. Safety will be assessed through week 48. Following the 48-week double-blind treatment period, patients will roll over to a 96-week open-label period and will receive molgramostim 300 mcg administered once daily. In June 2022, we announced that we had completed enrollment in IMPALA-2; target enrollment was 160 patients, and 164 were randomized.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Except as described in any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for molgramostim, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States and European Union and general and administrative expenses. The expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend on numerous factors. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of the securities. If a material part of the net proceeds is to be used to repay indebtedness, we will set forth the interest rate and maturity of such indebtedness in a prospectus supplement. Pending their ultimate use, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

For the complete terms of our common stock and preferred stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, each as amended to date, that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or may be incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement.

The summary below and that contained in any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus are qualified in their entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as in effect at the time of any offering of securities under this prospectus.

Additional shares of authorized common stock may be issued, as authorized by our board of directors from time to time, without stockholder approval, except as may be required by applicable securities exchange requirements. The holders of our common stock possess exclusive voting rights in us, except to the extent our board of directors specifies voting power with respect to any other class of securities issued in the future. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Stockholders do not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

Subject to preferences that may be granted to the holders of preferred stock, each holder of our common stock is entitled to share ratably in distributions to stockholders and to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

incorporation, our board of directors has the authority to provide for the issuance, in one or more series, of our authorized preferred stock and to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any series of our preferred stock. The rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions of any such series of our preferred stock may be subordinated to, pari passu with (including, without limitation, inclusion in provisions with respect to liquidation and acquisition preferences, redemption or approval of matters by vote or written consent), or senior to any of those of any present or future class or series of preferred stock or common stock. Our board of directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series prior or subsequent to the issue of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and reduce the likelihood that holders of our common stock will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation.

The particular terms of each class or series of preferred stock that we may offer under this prospectus, including redemption privileges, liquidation preferences, voting rights, dividend rights and/or conversion rights, will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the preferred stock offered thereby.

We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we may offer before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the terms of the series of preferred stock we may offer, including, but not limited to:

The DGCL provides that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class on any proposal involving fundamental changes in the rights of holders of that preferred stock. This right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for in the applicable certificate of designation.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Charter Documents and Delaware Law

Provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and

Table of Contents

directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Preferred Stock. Under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the power to authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which are currently undesignated, and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may:

 

   

delay, defer or prevent a change in control;

 

   

discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock;

 

   

adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock; and

 

   

discourage acquisition proposals or tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

Advance Notice Requirement. Stockholder nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and stockholder proposals of other matters to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders must comply with the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. Generally, to be timely, such notice must be received at our principal executive offices no later than the date specified in our proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, which date shall be no earlier than the 120th day, nor later than the close of business on the 90th day, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Special Meeting Requirements. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only at the request of our board of directors, president (unless there is a chief executive officer who is not the president, in which case a special meeting may be called at any time by the chief executive officer and not the president) or chair of the board of directors. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.

No Cumulative Voting. Our certificate of incorporation does not include a provision for cumulative voting for directors.

Indemnification. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors against losses as they incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include service in connection with takeover defense measures.

Removal of Directors. Our bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors is required to remove our directors, either with or without cause.

Authorized but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits, with some exceptions, a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date that stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

   

prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

   

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares of voting stock outstanding (but not the voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by persons who are directors and officers and by excluding employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

   

on or subsequent to that date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines “business combination” to include any of the following:

 

   

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

   

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

 

   

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

   

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

   

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did beneficially own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

The above provisions may deter a hostile takeover or delay a change in control.

Conversion or Exchange Rights

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms under which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock, our preferred stock or other securities (including securities of a third party). We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock, our preferred stock or other securities (including securities of a third party) that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indentures will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate. If the debt securities are convertible into or exchangeable for our other securities or securities of other entities, the person with whom we consolidate or merge or to whom we sell all of our property must make provisions for the conversion of the debt securities into securities that the holders of the debt securities would have received if they had converted the debt securities before the consolidation, merger or sale.

Events of Default under the Indenture

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

   

if we fail to pay interest when due and payable and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended;

 

   

if we fail to pay the principal, premium or sinking fund payment, if any, when due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase or otherwise, and the time for payment has not been extended;

 

   

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the debt securities or the indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive notice from the trustee or we and the trustee receive notice from the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

 

   

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

We will describe in each applicable prospectus supplement any additional events of default relating to the relevant series of debt securities.

 

14


Table of Contents

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default arises due to the occurrence of certain specified bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events, the unpaid principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

   

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

 

   

subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

The indentures provide that if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture, or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of the relevant series of debt securities, or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indentures, the trustee will be entitled to indemnification against all costs, expenses and liabilities that would be incurred by taking or not taking such action.

A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:

 

   

the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

 

   

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made a written request and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the trustee or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense or to be incurred in compliance with instituting the proceeding as trustee; and

 

   

the trustee does not institute the proceeding and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities, or other defaults that may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indentures.

The indentures provide that if a default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee must mail to each holder notice of the default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs and 30 days after it is known by a responsible officer of the trustee or written notice of it is received by the trustee, unless such default has been cured or waived. Except in the case of a default in the payment of principal or premium of, or interest on, any debt security or certain other defaults specified in an indenture, the trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors, or responsible officers of the trustee, in good faith determine that withholding notice is in the best interests of holders of the relevant series of debt securities.

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

Subject to the terms of the indenture for any series of debt securities that we may issue, we and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to the following specific matters:

 

   

to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture;

 

   

to comply with the provisions described above under “Description of Debt Securities — Consolidation, Merger or Sale;”

 

   

to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 

   

to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture;

 

   

to provide for the issuance of, and establish the form and terms and conditions of, the debt securities of any series as provided under “Description of Debt Securities — General,” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities;

 

   

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee;

 

   

to provide for uncertificated debt securities and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose;

 

   

to add such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred to us in the indenture; or

 

   

to change anything that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect.

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, subject to the terms of the indenture for any series of debt securities that we may issue or otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may only make the following changes with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

   

extending the stated maturity of the series of debt securities;

 

   

reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any debt securities; or

 

   

reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver.

Discharge

Each indenture provides that, subject to the terms of the indenture and any limitation otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we may elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

 

   

register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

 

   

replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

 

   

maintain paying agencies;

 

   

hold monies for payment in trust;

 

   

recover excess money held by the trustee;

 

   

compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

 

   

appoint any successor trustee.

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

Form, Exchange and Transfer

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series. See “Legal Ownership of Securities” below for a further description of the terms relating to any book-entry securities.

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

   

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

 

17


Table of Contents
   

register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

Information Concerning the Trustee

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture and is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur. However, upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest payment.

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

Governing Law

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

Ranking Debt Securities

The subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of subordinated debt securities that we may issue. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

The senior debt securities will be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment to all our other senior unsecured debt. The senior indenture does not limit the amount of senior debt securities that we may issue. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

General

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. Warrants may be offered independently or together with common stock, preferred stock or debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe in particular the terms of any series of warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant and/or warrant agreement, which may include a form of warrant certificate, as applicable, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we may offer before the issuance of the related series of warrants. We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement that we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any registered holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of warrant and/or warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, that contain the terms of the warrants.

The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:

 

   

the title of such warrants;

 

   

the aggregate number of such warrants;

 

   

the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

 

   

the currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which the price of such warrants may be payable;

 

   

the terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of such warrants;

 

   

the price at which the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

 

   

the date on which the right to exercise such warrants will commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

 

   

any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;

 

   

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

 

   

if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such security;

 

   

if applicable, the date on and after which such warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;

 

   

information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

 

19


Table of Contents
   

the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;

 

   

U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants, if material; and

 

   

any other terms of such warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange or exercise of such warrants.

Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of shares of preferred stock or common stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrants may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

We will specify the place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised in the form of warrant, warrant agreement or warrant certificate and applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant or warrant certificate, as applicable, properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office, including ours, indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the warrants (or the warrants represented by such warrant certificate) are exercised, a new warrant or a new warrant certificate, as applicable, will be issued for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock, preferred stock or debt securities purchasable upon exercise, including (i) in the case of warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock, the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise, if any; or (ii) in the case of warrants for the purchase of debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, any premium or interest on the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.

Outstanding Warrants

As of May 9, 2024, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 44,475,169 shares of our common stock, of which warrants to purchase 775,000 shares were outstanding with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, warrants to purchase 43,622,376 shares were outstanding with an exercise price of $0.001 per share and warrants to purchase 77,793 shares were outstanding with an exercise price of $2.87 per share. The warrants may be exercised for cash or, under certain circumstances, on a cashless basis, in which case we will deliver, upon exercise, the number of shares with respect to which the warrant is being exercised reduced by a number of shares having a value (as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant) equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares with respect to which the warrant is being exercised.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.

We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we may offer under this prospectus, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

General

We may issue units comprised of one or more debt securities, shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock and warrants in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including, but not limited to:

 

   

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

   

any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and

 

   

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock and Preferred Stock,” “Description of Debt Securities” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock, debt security or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

Issuance in Series

We may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any

 

21


Table of Contents

proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

We, the unit agents and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

Table of Contents

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee or depositary or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in “street name” will be indirect holders.

Book-Entry Holders

We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.

Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.

As a result, investors in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities.

Street Name Holders

We may terminate a global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in “street name.” Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.

For securities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not legal holders, of those securities.

Legal Holders

Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.

 

23


Table of Contents

For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the legal holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain the approval of the legal holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the legal holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the legal holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.

Special Considerations for Indirect Holders

If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form because the securities are represented by one or more global securities or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:

 

   

how it handles securities payments and notices;

 

   

whether it imposes fees or charges;

 

   

how it would handle a request for the legal holders’ consent, if ever required;

 

   

whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a legal holder, if that is permitted in the future;

 

   

how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for legal holders to act to protect their interests; and

 

   

if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary’s rules and procedures will affect these matters.

Global Securities

A global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.

Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.

A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under “Special Situations When A Global Security Will Be Terminated.” As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and legal holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a legal holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.

If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued as a global security, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.

 

24


Table of Contents

Special Considerations For Global Securities

As an indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize an indirect holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

If securities are issued only as global securities, an investor should be aware of the following:

 

   

an investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;

 

   

an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;

 

   

an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;

 

   

an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;

 

   

the depositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest in the global security. We and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security. We and the trustee also do not supervise the depositary in any way;

 

   

the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and

 

   

financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in the global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities. There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries.

Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated

In a few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.

A global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:

 

   

if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;

 

   

if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or

 

   

if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived.

The applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular series of securities covered by the prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and neither we nor any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

Table of Contents

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

   

the name or names of any agents or underwriters;

 

   

the purchase price of the securities being offered and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

 

   

any over-allotment or other options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

 

   

any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

 

   

any public offering price;

 

   

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

   

any securities exchanges or markets on which such securities may be listed.

We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:

 

   

fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

 

   

market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

   

prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

   

negotiated prices.

Agents

We may designate agents who agree to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of our securities for the period of their appointment or to sell our securities on a continuing basis. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any fees or commissions we will pay the agent in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters

If we use underwriters for a sale of securities, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities of the series offered if they purchase any of the securities of that series. We may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions the underwriters allow or reallow or pay to dealers. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe the nature of any such relationship in any applicable prospectus supplement naming any such underwriter. Only underwriters we name in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities related to offerings under this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities.

 

26


Table of Contents

Direct Sales

We may also sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify in the applicable prospectus supplement any underwriters, dealers or agents and will describe their compensation. We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Trading Markets and Listing of Securities

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, each class or series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than our common stock, which is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. We may elect to list any other class or series of securities on any exchange or market, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a class or series of securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any of the securities.

Stabilization Activities

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of these activities at any time.

Passive Market Making

Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Global Select Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security. If all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

We may continue to offer and sell our common stock under the Prior Prospectus Supplement up until the date of this prospectus supplement. From and after the date of this prospectus supplement, we will not further offer or sell our common stock pursuant to the Prior Prospectus Supplement and accompanying prospectus.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. We provide information to you about this offering of shares of our common stock in two separate documents that are bound together: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying base prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement), the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement as our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the earlier dates. You should also read and consider the additional information under the caption “Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference” on page vi of this prospectus supplement.

In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying base prospectus and in any free writing prospectus with respect to this offering filed by us with the SEC. We have not, and Evercore has not, authorized any person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different, additional or inconsistent information you should not rely on it. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, any free writing prospectus with respect to the offering filed by us with the SEC and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date they were made. In addition, the assertions embodied in any representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to investors and may be qualified by information in disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the agreements. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

Any industry, market and competitive position data that may be included in, or otherwise incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement is derived from our own internal estimates and research as well as from industry and general publications and research surveys and studies conducted by third parties. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and us.

The information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is not investment, legal or tax advice. You should consult your own legal counsel, accountants and other advisers for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice before investing in our common stock.

Company Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases. Our lead program, molgramostim nebulizer solution, or molgramostim, is an inhaled biologic, specifically an inhaled recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or (rh)GM-CSF, which is in Phase 3 development for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, or aPAP. Molgramostim is delivered via an investigational eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI Pharma GmbH), which has been optimized for molgramostim administration. Our management team has significant experience in orphan drug development and pulmonary medicine, identifying unmet needs, and effectively advancing product candidates to approval and commercialization.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, or PAP, is a rare lung disease characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in the alveoli (or air sacs) of the lungs. There are different types of PAP, of which aPAP is the most common. The estimated prevalence of aPAP is seven cases per million people in the U.S. The disease process underlying aPAP involves an autoimmune response against a naturally occurring protein, GM-CSF, suppressing the stimulating activity of GM-CSF on lung macrophages. Alveolar macrophages require GM-CSF signaling to maintain homeostasis between surfactant production and surfactant clearance. Specifically, the GM-CSF autoantibodies suppress GM-CSF signaling that activates lung macrophages to clear surfactant—resulting in excess surfactant accumulation that blocks movement of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood. Reduced oxygenation can make it hard to breathe and can, ultimately, lead to hypoxemic respiratory failure. Patients may also experience cough, fatigue, as well as episodes of fever, especially if secondary lung infection develops. In the long term, the disease can lead to serious complications, including lung fibrosis and the need for a lung transplant. Currently, there are no therapies approved for the treatment of aPAP. The only treatment currently available for aPAP is a procedure called whole lung lavage, or WLL, which entails washing out the lungs with saline, most commonly, one lung at a time, under general anesthesia. By its nature, WLL is an invasive and inconvenient procedure that requires hospitalization and highly experienced physicians at specialized sites. Based on published investigator-sponsored treatment experience with inhaled GM-CSF and data from the IMPALA trial, we believe inhaled molgramostim has the potential to restore GM-CSF signaling, thus activating the surfactant clearing activity of the alveolar macrophages. If approved, molgramostim could become the first-line treatment for aPAP.

In May 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, granted Fast Track Designation to molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP. Fast Track Designation facilitates the development and expedites the review of new drugs or biologics intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. In December 2019, although the data from our IMPALA Phase 2/3

 

S-1


Table of Contents

study did not meet the regulatory requirement for approval, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for molgramostim in aPAP based on data from the 24-week double-blind treatment period from the IMPALA trial. Additionally, molgramostim was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of aPAP in the United States and the European Union, which allows for seven and ten years of exclusivity from approval, respectively. Savara has exclusive access to the proprietary eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI) for this indication along with a proprietary cell bank for the active drug substance of molgramostim. Additionally, in the United Kingdom molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP was granted Innovation Passport (June 2022) and Promising Innovative Medicine (August 2022) designations by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or the MHRA. These designations provide the opportunity for enhanced dialogue and input from the MHRA and the Health Technology Assessment bodies in England, Scotland, and Wales.

In 2019, we announced that IMPALA, our Phase 2/3 clinical trial of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP, did not meet its primary endpoint of alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient, or (A-a)DO2, improvement compared to placebo and that the FDA indicated the data from the IMPALA trial did not provide sufficient evidence of efficacy and safety. The totality of data from the IMPALA trial gives us confidence that molgramostim has the potential to address significant unmet need in this rare disease. These data extend beyond the primary endpoint and include: (i) multiple key secondary and exploratory endpoints that either achieved statistical significance or trended in favor of the active drug arms, (ii) results from the open-label period of the trial that demonstrated a sustained treatment effect, or continued improvement, after longer term exposure to molgramostim, and (iii) molgramostim being generally well tolerated. In September 2020, results from the IMPALA trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. We consider molgramostim to have a favorable risk-benefit profile and remain confident in the future of the program, including the current Phase 3 IMPALA-2 trial.

We are currently conducting IMPALA-2, a global, multicenter Phase 3, 48-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of molgramostim 300 mcg administered once daily by inhalation with matching placebo in patients with aPAP. The primary efficacy variable is the change from baseline in percent predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), a gas exchange measure. Three secondary efficacy variables will evaluate clinical measures of direct patient benefit: St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score, SGRQ Activity Component Score, and exercise capacity using a treadmill test. Other efficacy variables will include (A-a)DO2 (another gas exchange measure), supplemental oxygen use, WLL frequency, patient and clinician global impression of disease severity and disease change, chest CT scan to assess lung opacity, blood biomarkers, etc. The primary time point for efficacy assessment will be at week 24, however, efficacy will be assessed through week 48 to show durability of effect. Safety will be assessed through week 48. Following the 48-week double-blind treatment period, patients will roll over to a 96-week open-label period and will receive molgramostim 300 mcg administered once daily. In June 2022, we announced that we had completed enrollment in IMPALA-2; target enrollment was 160 patients, and 164 were randomized.

Substantially all of our outstanding shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, may be sold in the public market. If substantial additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. We may issue common stock from time to time in connection with this offering. The issuance from time to time of these new shares of our common stock, or our ability to issue new shares of common stock in this offering, could result in resales of our common stock by our current stockholders who may be concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these sales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.

There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.

We have broad discretion in the use of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the net proceeds of this offering.

We currently anticipate that the net proceeds from this offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for our product candidate, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States and European Union and general and administrative expenses. However, we have not determined the specific allocation of the net proceeds among these potential uses. We have broad discretion in the use of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the net proceeds of this offering, and investors must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the use of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our management may not use cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. Our failure to use our cash,

Table of Contents

cash equivalents and short-term investments effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our common stock to decline and delay the development of our product candidate. Pending their use, we may invest our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in short-term or long-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield favorable returns. If we do not invest or apply our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Please see the section entitled ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’ on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement for further information.

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

Because the price per share at which shares of our common stock are sold in this offering may be substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you may suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. After giving effect to the sale of our common stock in the maximum aggregate offering amount of $100,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $4.71 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 3, 2024 and after deducting estimated offering commissions and expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2024 would have been $208.0 million, or $1.31 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.51 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution in as-adjusted net tangible book value of $3.40 per share to new investors who purchase our common stock in the offering. See “Dilution” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you may incur in connection with this offering.

You may experience further dilution if existing stock options or pre-funded warrants are exercised, or if we issue additional equity securities in future financing transactions.

We have a significant number of pre-funded warrants and stock options outstanding. To the extent that these are exercised, investors purchasing in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders or result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share for any shares sold in this offering.

The actual number of shares of our common stock we will issue under the sales agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the Sales Agent at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of ordinary shares of our common stock that are sold by the Sales Agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agent. Because the price per share of our common stock will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares of our common stock that will be ultimately issued.

The shares of our common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares of our common stock at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion,

 

S-6


Table of Contents

subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares of our common stock sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of sales of our common stock made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We expect to retain our future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be stockholders’ sole source of gain, if any, for the foreseeable future.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for molgramostim, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States and European Union and general and administrative expenses.

The expected use of the net proceeds from any sale of securities offered under this prospectus supplement represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend on numerous factors. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds from any sale of securities offered under this prospectus supplement.

We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. Pending the use of any net proceeds, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.

The net tangible book value of our common stock as of March 31, 2024, was approximately $111.1 million, or approximately $0.80 per share. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding. Dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by investors for each share of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following the completion of this offering.

After giving effect to the sale of shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $4.71 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on May 3, 2024 on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and after deducting estimated commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2024 would have been approximately $208.0 million, or approximately $1.31 per share. This represents an immediate increase in as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.51 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $3.40 per share to investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Assumed offering price per share

      $ 4.71  

Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2024

   $ 0.80     

Increase per share attributable to this offering

   $ 0.51     
  

 

 

    

As-adjusted net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2024, after giving effect to this offering

      $ 1.31  
     

 

 

 

Dilution per share to new investors participating in this offering

      $ 3.40  
     

 

 

 

The table above assumes, for illustrative purposes only, an aggregate of 21,231,422 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $4.71 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000,000. The shares, if any, sold in this offering will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $0.47 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $4.71 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate gross amount of $100,000,000 is sold at that price, would result in as-adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering of $1.32 per share and increase the dilution in as-adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $3.86 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $0.47 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $4.71 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate gross amount of $100,000,000 is sold at that price, would result in as-adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering of $1.29 per share and decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $2.95 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.

In addition, the foregoing table and calculations (other than the historical net tangible book value calculation) are based on 138,176,641 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and excludes:

 

   

43,622,376 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of “pre-funded” warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024, with an exercise price of $0.001 per share;

 

S-9


Table of Contents
   

775,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of “pre-funded” warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share;

 

   

77,793 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024, with an exercise price of $2.87 per share;

 

   

9,794,317 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding as of March 31, 2024, with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.47 per share;

 

   

3,626,687 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of March 31, 2024;

 

   

1,007,502 shares of our common stock reserved for future grants under our 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan; and

 

   

475,592 shares of our common stock reserved for future grants under our 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan.

To the extent that any outstanding options or warrants are exercised, new options are issued under our equity incentive plan, or we otherwise issue additional shares of common stock in the future at prices per share below the price per share for any shares sold in this offering, there will be further dilution to new investors.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have previously entered into a sales agreement with Evercore Group, L.L.C., or Evercore, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock. Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $100,000,000, from time to time, through Evercore as our sales agent. As of May 9, 2024, we have issued and sold an aggregate of $9,114,648.40 shares of common stock through Evercore pursuant to the sales agreement and a prior prospectus supplement dated July 16, 2021, or the Prior Prospectus Supplement. We may continue to offer and sell our common stock under the Prior Prospectus Supplement up until the date of this prospectus supplement. From and after the date of this prospectus supplement, we will not further offer or sell our common stock pursuant to the Prior Prospectus Supplement and accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement relates to the $100,000,000 of shares of our common stock that we may currently offer and sale under the sales agreement pursuant to the base prospectus contained in our new registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. This summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of our Sales Agreement that we entered into with Evercore is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, Evercore may offer and sell shares of our common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct Evercore not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or Evercore may suspend the offering of common stock upon notice and subject to other conditions.

We will pay Evercore in cash, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of our common stock. Evercore is entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold under the sales agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse Evercore for certain specified expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel not to exceed $50,000, which was payable upon the execution of the sales agreement, as well as ongoing disbursements of their legal counsel payable in the amount of up to $15,000 in connection with each diligence bring-down thereafter. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to Evercore under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $150,000.

Settlement for sales of shares of common stock will occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Evercore in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Pursuant to recent amendments to Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, settlement for any securities offered under this prospectus supplement on or after May 28, 2024, may occur on the first business day that is also a trading day following the date on which any sales were made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Evercore in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Evercore may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

Evercore will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase the shares of common stock under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the sales agreement. In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock on our behalf, Evercore will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to Evercore will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the sales agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Evercore (and its partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents) against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act.

The offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein.

Evercore and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us, our subsidiaries and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, Evercore will not engage in any market making activities involving our shares of common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.

This prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by Evercore and Evercore may distribute this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus electronically.

38,616,839 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Warrants

 

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale by us of up to 38,616,839 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Warrants to purchase 775,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share were originally issued by us on October 27, 2017, or the 2017 Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to a prospectus dated August 19, 2015, and a related prospectus supplement dated October 26, 2017. Warrants to purchase 32,175,172 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.001 per share were originally issued by us on March 15, 2021, or the 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to a prospectus dated July 13, 2018, and a related prospectus supplement dated March 11, 2021. Warrants to purchase 5,666,667 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.001 per share were originally issued by us on July 17, 2023, or the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and, collectively with the 2017 Pre-Funded Warrants and the 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants, the Warrants, pursuant to a prospectus dated July 16, 2021, and a related prospectus supplement dated July 13, 2023. We will receive the proceeds from any cash exercises of the Warrants. The 2017 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time until they expire on October 27, 2024. The 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants and the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time and do not expire.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SVRA.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on May 3, 2024 was $4.71 per share. None of the Warrants are listed, and we do not intend to apply to list them, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other national securities exchange.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. We provide information to you about this offering of shares of our common stock in two separate documents that are bound together: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying base prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement), the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement as our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the earlier dates. You should also read and consider the additional information under the caption “Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference” on page vi of this prospectus supplement.

In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying base prospectus and in any free writing prospectus with respect to this offering filed by us with the SEC. We have not authorized any person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different, additional or inconsistent information you should not rely on it. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, any free writing prospectus with respect to the offering filed by us with the SEC and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date they were made. In addition, the assertions embodied in any representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to investors and may be qualified by information in disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the agreements. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

Any industry, market and competitive position data that may be included in, or otherwise incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement is derived from our own internal estimates and research as well as from industry and general publications and research surveys and studies conducted by third parties. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and us.

The information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is not investment, legal or tax advice. You should consult your own legal counsel, accountants and other advisers for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice before investing in our common stock.

Company Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases. Our lead program, molgramostim nebulizer solution, or molgramostim, is an inhaled biologic, specifically an inhaled recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or (rh)GM-CSF, which is in Phase 3 development for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, or aPAP. Molgramostim is delivered via an investigational eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI Pharma GmbH), which has been optimized for molgramostim administration. Our management team has significant experience in orphan drug development and pulmonary medicine, identifying unmet needs, and effectively advancing product candidates to approval and commercialization.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, or PAP, is a rare lung disease characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in the alveoli (or air sacs) of the lungs. There are different types of PAP, of which aPAP is the most common. The estimated prevalence of aPAP is seven cases per million people in the U.S. The disease process underlying aPAP involves an autoimmune response against a naturally occurring protein, GM-CSF, suppressing the stimulating activity of GM-CSF on lung macrophages. Alveolar macrophages require GM-CSF signaling to maintain homeostasis between surfactant production and surfactant clearance. Specifically, the GM-CSF autoantibodies suppress GM-CSF signaling that activates lung macrophages to clear surfactant—resulting in excess surfactant accumulation that blocks movement of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood. Reduced oxygenation can make it hard to breathe and can, ultimately, lead to hypoxemic respiratory failure. Patients may also experience cough, fatigue, as well as episodes of fever, especially if secondary lung infection develops. In the long term, the disease can lead to serious complications, including lung fibrosis and the need for a lung transplant. Currently, there are no therapies approved for the treatment of aPAP. The only treatment currently available for aPAP is a procedure called whole lung lavage, or WLL, which entails washing out the lungs with saline, most commonly, one lung at a time, under general anesthesia. By its nature, WLL is an invasive and inconvenient procedure that requires hospitalization and highly experienced physicians at specialized sites. Based on published investigator-sponsored treatment experience with inhaled GM-CSF and data from the IMPALA trial, we believe inhaled molgramostim has the potential to restore GM-CSF signaling, thus activating the surfactant clearing activity of the alveolar macrophages. If approved, molgramostim could become the first-line treatment for aPAP.

In May 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, granted Fast Track Designation to molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP. Fast Track Designation facilitates the development and expedites the review of new drugs or biologics intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. In December 2019, although the data from our IMPALA Phase 2/3

study did not meet the regulatory requirement for approval, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for molgramostim in aPAP based on data from the 24-week double-blind treatment period from the IMPALA trial. Additionally, molgramostim was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of aPAP in the United States and the European Union, which allows for seven and ten years of exclusivity from approval, respectively. Savara has exclusive access to the proprietary eFlow® Nebulizer System (PARI) for this indication along with a proprietary cell bank for the active drug substance of molgramostim. Additionally, in the United Kingdom molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP was granted Innovation Passport (June 2022) and Promising Innovative Medicine (August 2022) designations by the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or the MHRA. These designations provide the opportunity for enhanced dialogue and input from the MHRA and the Health Technology Assessment bodies in England, Scotland, and Wales.

In 2019, we announced that IMPALA, our Phase 2/3 clinical trial of molgramostim for the treatment of aPAP, did not meet its primary endpoint of alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient, or (A-a)DO2, improvement compared to placebo and that the FDA indicated the data from the IMPALA trial did not provide sufficient evidence of efficacy and safety. The totality of data from the IMPALA trial gives us confidence that molgramostim has the potential to address significant unmet need in this rare disease. These data extend beyond the primary endpoint and include: (i) multiple key secondary and exploratory endpoints that either achieved statistical significance or trended in favor of the active drug arms, (ii) results from the open-label period of the trial that demonstrated a sustained treatment effect, or continued improvement, after longer term exposure to molgramostim, and (iii) molgramostim being generally well tolerated. In September 2020, results from the IMPALA trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. We consider molgramostim to have a favorable risk-benefit profile and remain confident in the future of the program, including the current Phase 3 IMPALA-2 trial.

We are currently conducting IMPALA-2, a global, multicenter Phase 3, 48-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of molgramostim 300 mcg administered once daily by inhalation with matching placebo in patients with aPAP. The primary efficacy variable is the change from baseline in percent predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), a gas exchange measure. Three secondary efficacy variables will evaluate clinical measures of direct patient benefit: St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Total Score, SGRQ Activity Component Score, and exercise capacity using a treadmill test. Other efficacy variables will include (A-a)DO2 (another gas exchange measure), supplemental oxygen use, WLL frequency, patient and clinician global impression of disease severity and disease change, chest CT scan to assess lung opacity, blood biomarkers, etc. The primary time point for efficacy assessment will be at week 24, however, efficacy will be assessed through week 48 to show durability of effect. Safety will be assessed through week 48. Following the 48-week double-blind treatment period, patients will roll over to a 96-week open-label period and will receive molgramostim 300 mcg administered once daily. In June 2022, we announced that we had completed enrollment in IMPALA-2; target enrollment was 160 patients, and 164 were randomized.

Securities offered:

This offering involves the offer and sale by us of up to 38,616,839 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding Warrants. Warrants to purchase 775,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share were originally issued by us on October 27, 2017, pursuant to a prospectus dated August 19, 2015, and a related prospectus supplement dated October 26, 2017. Warrants to purchase 32,175,172 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.001 per share were originally issued by us on March 15, 2021, pursuant to a prospectus dated July 13, 2018, and a related prospectus supplement dated March 11, 2021. Warrants to purchase 5,666,667 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.001 per share were originally issued by us on July 17, 2023, pursuant to a prospectus dated July 16, 2021, and a related prospectus supplement dated July 13, 2023. The 2017 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time until they expire on October 27, 2024. The 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants and the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time and do not expire. Upon exercise of the Warrants for cash, the holders of the Warrants would pay us the applicable exercise price per share of common stock. If the Warrants are exercised in full for cash, we will receive an aggregate of approximately $45,592.

 

Use of Proceeds:

We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for molgramostim, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States and European Union and general and administrative expenses. Please see “Use of Proceeds” on page S-6 for more information.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock. We expect to update these Risk Factors from time to time in the periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement. These updated Risk Factors will be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Please refer to these subsequent reports for additional information relating to the risks associated with investing in our common stock. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be severely harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering

Future sales of our common stock in the public market by our stockholders may cause the market price of our common stock to fall.

If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our stock could decline. As of May 9, 2024, we had approximately 138,188,891 shares of common stock outstanding and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 44,475,169 shares of common stock outstanding. Substantially all of our outstanding shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, may be sold in the public market. If substantial additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. In addition, the issuance of the shares of our common stock in this offering could result in resales of our common stock by our current stockholders who may be concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these sales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.

There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur. Additionally, the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants may result in dilution of your investment. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you may incur in connection with this offering.

We have broad discretion in the use of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the net proceeds of this offering.

We currently anticipate that the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for our product candidate, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States and European Union and general and administrative expenses. However, we have not determined the specific allocation of the net proceeds among these potential uses. We have broad discretion in the use of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the net proceeds of this offering, and investors must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the use of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our management may not use cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. Our failure to use our cash,

 

S-4


Table of Contents

cash equivalents and short-term investments effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our common stock to decline and delay the development of our product candidate. Pending their use, we may invest our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in short-term or long-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield favorable returns. If we do not invest or apply our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Please see the section entitled ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’ on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement for further information.

We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We expect to retain our future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be stockholders’ sole source of gain, if any, for the foreseeable future.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, the funding of clinical development of and pursuing regulatory approval for molgramostim, investing in our commercialization infrastructure, commercial launch preparation activities in the United States and European Union and general and administrative expenses.

The expected use of the net proceeds from any sale of securities offered under this prospectus supplement represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures depend on numerous factors. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds from any sale of securities offered under this prospectus supplement.

We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. Pending the use of any net proceeds, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

DILUTION

If you purchase shares of our common stock upon the exercise of your Warrants, your ownership interest would be diluted to the extent of the difference between the exercise price per share and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after giving effect to this offering. Investors exercising the Warrants for cash would not experience immediate dilution because the exercise price of the 2017 Pre-Funded Warrants is $0.01 per share, the exercise price of the 2021 Pre-Funded Warrants is $0.001 per share and the exercise price of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants is $0.001 per share, which is less than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after giving effect to this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The common stock offered under this prospectus will be offered solely by us and will be issued and sold upon the exercise of the Warrants described in this prospectus. The Warrant holders may, in their discretion, surrender payment in cash of the aggregate exercise price of the shares being acquired upon exercise of the Warrants or elect to exercise the Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the pre-funded Warrant. If, however, we are unable to offer and sell the shares of our common stock underlying the Warrants pursuant to this prospectus due to the ineffectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, then the Warrants may only be exercised on a “net” or “cashless” basis. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

LEGAL MATTERS

Holland & Knight LLP has passed upon the validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact of their prior or current service to the corporation as a director or officer, in accordance with the provisions of Section 145, which are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The indemnity may cover expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Section 145 permits corporations to pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by directors and officers in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in their capacity as a director or officer, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the director or officer against such liability under Section 145.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, or our Certificate of Incorporation, provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, (1) a director shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, and (2) we shall indemnify any director or officer made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact of such person’s current or prior service as our director or officer, as a director or officer of any of our predecessors or any other enterprise per our or any of our predecessor’s request.

Our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, or our Bylaws, provide that (a) we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the DGCL against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation, subject to certain limited exceptions, (b) we shall advance expenses incurred by any director or officer prior to the final disposition of any proceeding to which the director or officer was or is or is threatened to be made a party promptly following a

Table of Contents

request therefor, subject to certain limited exceptions, and (c) the rights conferred in our Bylaws are not exclusive.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. These agreements, among other things, provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers for expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection therewith) actually and reasonably incurred by a director or executive officer in connection with any action or proceeding to which such person was, is or is threatened to be made a party, a witness or other participant by reason of such person’s services as our director or executive officer, or as a director or executive officer of any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request, and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the director or executive officer as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under the indemnification agreements.

In addition, the indemnification agreements provide that, upon the request of a director or executive officer, we shall advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) to the director or officer. We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

We have also obtained an insurance policy covering our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price

  represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

  (A)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

  (B)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and

 

  (5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

II-4


Table of Contents
  (ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of an undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  (b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

  (d)

Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Savara Inc.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (theRegistration Statement”) to be filed on the date hereof by Savara Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale by the Company, from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act, of one or more classes or series of the following securities of the Company: (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”); (iii) debt securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”), which Debt Securities may be issued pursuant to one or more senior or subordinated indentures (the “Indentures”), between the Company and a trustee to be named therein (the “Trustee”); (iv) warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”), which may be issued pursuant to a warrant agreement (a “Warrant Agreement”) between the Company and the warrant agent to be named therein; and (v) units comprised of one or more shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or Warrants in any combination (the “Units”) to be issued under one or more unit agreements to be entered into among the Company, a bank or trust company, as unit agent (the “Unit Agent”), and the holders from time to time of the Units (each such unit agreement, a “Unit Agreement”). The Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, the Debt Securities, the Warrants and the Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Shelf Securities”; all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis upon conversion, exchange, redemption or exercise, including pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments, at an aggregate offering price not to exceed $400,000,000. The terms “Common Stock,” “Preferred Stock,” “Debt Securities,” “Warrants” and “Units” shall include any additional amounts of such securities registered by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act in connection with the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.

We also have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with an offering of up to $100,000,000 of shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold (the “Sales Agreement Shares”) under a Sales Agreement entered into by the Company with Evercore Group L.L.C. on July 6, 2021 (as may be amended or supplemented, the “Sales Agreement”). The Sales Agreement Shares, which comprise a portion of the Shelf Securities, will be offered and sold pursuant to the prospectus supplement included in the Registration Statement (as may be amended or supplemented, the “Sales Agreement Prospectus”).

The prospectus for the offer and sale of the Warrant Shares is included in the Registration Statement (as may be amended or supplemented, the “Warrant Prospectus”).
