Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 12, 2022, Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, in the aggregate, (i) 16,226,416 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) investor warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 16,226,416 shares of Common Stock in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The securities are being sold in a fixed combination of a Share and an Investor Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. All of the securities in the Offering are being sold by the Company. The offering price of each Share and accompanying Investor Warrant is $0.53. The Investor Warrants will be immediately exercisable at a price of $0.41 per share of Common Stock and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Shares and the accompanying Investor Warrants, are being issued separately and are immediately separable upon issuance. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about April 14, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Offering is expected to result in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $8.6 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $7.9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for funding its clinical studies, working capital and other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, funding acquisitions or investments in businesses, products or technologies that are complementary to the Company’s businesses, products and technologies.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Offering. Pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement (the “PAA”) dated April 12, 2022 between the Company and AGP, the Company will pay AGP a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and an accountable expense allowance for out-of-pocket expenses for legal fees and other expenses up to $60,000. Additionally, the Company agreed to issue to AGP, or its designees, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 811,321 shares of Common Stock, equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of Shares sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants will become exercisable six months after the date of the PAA, will have an exercise price equal to $0.6625 per share (representing 125% of the public offering price) and have a term of four and a half years from the date of effectiveness of the Offering.

The Shares and the Investor Warrants are being offered pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2021, and was declared effective on April 1, 2021 (File No. 333-254662), a prospectus supplement thereunder dated April 12, 2022 and the accompanying base prospectus dated April 1, 2021.
