WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, the Stockholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement.

(b)               Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the full and complete satisfaction of the terms of the Offer, Stockholder agrees that any and all rights incident to its ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any stockholder or former stockholder of the Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of Stockholder’s ownership of Shares prior to the transfer of such Shares to Merger Sub or Parent pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Merger Sub and Parent upon the transfer to Merger Sub or Parent of Stockholder’s Shares.

 

(c)                If the Board or the Special Committee has effected (and not withdrawn) an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the Merger Agreement, then the obligation of Stockholder to tender its Shares in the manner set forth in this Section 1 shall be, by virtue of such Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change, automatically modified such that the Stockholder, together with the other stockholders of the Company entering into substantially similar tender and support agreements with Parent and Merger Sub on the date hereof (the “Other Support Agreements”), shall collectively only be required to tender into the Offer that number of Shares equal to an aggregate number of Shares which, together with Shares as defined in the Other Support Agreements, equal in the aggregate thirty percent (30%) of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (with Stockholder being obligated to tender its pro rata portion thereof).

 

2.            Termination Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated, (c) an amendment of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Stockholder, in a manner that negatively or adversely affects the Offer or that decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration payable to any stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement, (e) any material breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or (f) the Board or the Special Committee approves, recommends, encourages or supports an alternative transaction. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any common law fraud or willful, knowing and material breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof.

 

3.            Additional Purchases. The Stockholder agrees that any Shares of the Company (and any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Shares) that the Stockholder purchases or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date, including, without limitation, by the exercise of a Company Stock Option or the vesting or settlement of a Company Restricted Stock Unit (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof and the representation and warranties in Section 5 below shall be true and correct as of the date that beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such New Shares is acquired.

Without limiting the foregoing, at all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until Termination Date, Stockholder shall not tender the Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent.

 

(b)               The Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or knowingly participate in any Proceeding, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or their Affiliates and each of their successors and assigns and their respective directors and officers (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Offer Closing Time or the Merger Closing) or (ii) alleging a breach of any duty of the Board in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby.

 

5.            Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

(c)                This Agreement (assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub) has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement with respect to the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

 

(d)               The shares of Company Common Stock and the certificates, if any, representing the Shares owned by Stockholder are now held by Stockholder, by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Stockholder or by the depository under the Offer, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, proxies, powers of attorney, rights of first offer or rights of first refusal, voting agreement or voting trust or any other agreement, arrangement, or restriction with respect to the voting of such Shares, or other encumbrances or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (“Liens”), and has sole or shared, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to such Shares, except for (i) any such Liens arising hereunder (in connection therewith any restrictions on transfer or any other Liens have been waived by appropriate consent) and (ii) Liens imposed by federal or state securities laws (collectively, “Permitted Liens”).

 

(e)                Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Stockholder with any provisions herein will (i) if such Stockholder is not an individual, violate, contravene or conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other similar governing documents) of such Stockholder, (ii) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or require any consent, waiver or approval or result in a default or loss of a benefit (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default or give rise to any such right) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract or other legally binding instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of its assets may be bound, (iii) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any assets (including Shares) of such Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Merger Sub) or (iv) violate any Law applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of its assets (including Shares) are bound, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement.

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

 

This SUPPORT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of February 16, 2024, is made by and among XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), XRA 1 Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the undersigned holder (“Stockholder”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), of Kinnate Biopharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, Stockholder is, as of the date hereof, the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite the name of Stockholder on Schedule 1 attached hereto (all such Shares, together with any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Shares, and any New Shares (defined in Section 3 below), the “Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 16, 2024, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to commence a tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Offer”) and, following the completion of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving that merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, taken all actions so that the restrictions applicable to business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other Takeover Law are, and will be, inapplicable to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “203 Approval”); and

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, the Stockholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a condition to, Parent and Merger Sub entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by Parent in connection therewith, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            Agreement to Tender Shares.

 

(a)                Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the 203 Approval (which has been obtained prior to the execution of this Agreement), Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall irrevocably tender its Shares, or cause its Shares to be validly and irrevocably tendered, into the

  

 

 

Offer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Liens (as defined below) (except for Permitted Liens (as defined below)).

 

(b)               Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the full and complete satisfaction of the terms of the Offer, Stockholder agrees that any and all rights incident to its ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any stockholder or former stockholder of the Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of Stockholder’s ownership of Shares prior to the transfer of such Shares to Merger Sub or Parent pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Merger Sub and Parent upon the transfer to Merger Sub or Parent of Stockholder’s Shares.

 

(c)                If the Board or the Special Committee has effected (and not withdrawn) an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the Merger Agreement, then the obligation of Stockholder to tender its Shares in the manner set forth in this Section 1 shall be, by virtue of such Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change, automatically modified such that the Stockholder, together with the other stockholders of the Company entering into substantially similar tender and support agreements with Parent and Merger Sub on the date hereof (the “Other Support Agreements”), shall collectively only be required to tender into the Offer that number of Shares equal to an aggregate number of Shares which, together with Shares as defined in the Other Support Agreements, equal in the aggregate thirty percent (30%) of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (with Stockholder being obligated to tender its pro rata portion thereof).

 

2.            Termination Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated, (c) an amendment of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Stockholder, in a manner that negatively or adversely affects the Offer or that decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration payable to any stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement, (e) any material breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or (f) the Board or the Special Committee approves, recommends, encourages or supports an alternative transaction. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any common law fraud or willful, knowing and material breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof.

 

3.            Additional Purchases. The Stockholder agrees that any Shares of the Company (and any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Shares) that the Stockholder purchases or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date, including, without limitation, by the exercise of a Company Stock Option or the vesting or settlement of a Company Restricted Stock Unit (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof and the representation and warranties in Section 5 below shall be true and correct as of the date that beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such New Shares is acquired.

4.           Agreement to Retain Shares and Other Covenants.

 

(a)               From and after the date hereof until the Termination Date, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 1 or Section 7) or in the Merger Agreement, Stockholder shall not, and Stockholder shall not direct its Affiliates to: (i) voluntarily transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale or merger, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution, by operation of Law or otherwise) of, enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to, create or suffer to exist any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) on or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any or all of the Shares or any right or interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer; (iii) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Shares with respect to any matter that is, or that is reasonably likely to be exercised in a manner, inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the provisions thereof; (iv) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares; or (v) directly take or cause the taking of any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that Stockholder and its Affiliates shall be permitted to Transfer Shares to Affiliates, so long as such transferees agree to remain subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, at all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until Termination Date, Stockholder shall not tender the Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent.

 

(b)               The Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or knowingly participate in any Proceeding, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or their Affiliates and each of their successors and assigns and their respective directors and officers (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Offer Closing Time or the Merger Closing) or (ii) alleging a breach of any duty of the Board in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby.

 

5.            Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

 

(a)                Stockholder (i) is the beneficial owner of the Shares set forth opposite Stockholder’s name on Schedule 1 to this Agreement and (ii) except as set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement, neither holds nor has any beneficial ownership interest in any other shares of Company Common Stock or any performance based stock units, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, options, warrants or other right or security convertible into or exercisable, exchangeable or redeemable for shares of Company Common Stock.

 

(b)               Stockholder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, subject to applicable federal

securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; if the Stockholder is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has taken all action necessary, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and no other proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement, the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(c)                This Agreement (assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub) has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement with respect to the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

 

(d)               The shares of Company Common Stock and the certificates, if any, representing the Shares owned by Stockholder are now held by Stockholder, by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Stockholder or by the depository under the Offer, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, proxies, powers of attorney, rights of first offer or rights of first refusal, voting agreement or voting trust or any other agreement, arrangement, or restriction with respect to the voting of such Shares, or other encumbrances or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (“Liens”), and has sole or shared, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to such Shares, except for (i) any such Liens arising hereunder (in connection therewith any restrictions on transfer or any other Liens have been waived by appropriate consent) and (ii) Liens imposed by federal or state securities laws (collectively, “Permitted Liens”).

 

(e)                Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Stockholder with any provisions herein will (i) if such Stockholder is not an individual, violate, contravene or conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other similar governing documents) of such Stockholder, (ii) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or require any consent, waiver or approval or result in a default or loss of a benefit (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default or give rise to any such right) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract or other legally binding instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of its assets may be bound, (iii) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any assets (including Shares) of such Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Merger Sub) or (iv) violate any Law applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of its assets (including Shares) are bound, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(f)                Stockholder has not directly engaged any broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder, agent or other Person such that such Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial adviser’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with this Agreement.

(a)          Each of Parent and Merger Sub are a corporation, both duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)          Except for violations and defaults that would not adversely affect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to perform any of its obligations under, or consummate any of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by each of Parent and Merger Sub, and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will not cause a violation by Parent or Merger Sub of any legal requirement applicable to Parent or Merger Sub. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is required to make any filing with or to obtain any consent from any Person at or prior to the Offer Closing Time or the Effective Time in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement or the consummation by Parent or Merger Sub of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, except: (i) as may be required by the Exchange Act, General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or other applicable Laws; or (ii) where the failure to make any such filing or obtain any such consent would not adversely affect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to perform any of its obligations under, or consummate any of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.
