Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement





Convertible Note Offering


On March 7, 2022, Innoviva, Inc. ("Innoviva") completed its previously announced offering of $225 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.125% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the "Notes"). The Notes were sold in a private offering under a purchase agreement, dated as of March 2, 2022, entered into by and among Innoviva and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Moelis & Company LLC, as initial purchasers (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers"), for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Innoviva also granted the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes were first issued, up to an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on the same terms and conditions.

The net proceeds from the sale of the $225 million aggregate principal amount of Notes were approximately $216.8 million after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discounts and commissions and Innoviva's estimated offering expenses. Innoviva used approximately $18.1 million of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. In addition, Innoviva used $165.6 million of the remaining net proceeds to repurchase $144.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.125% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") in separate and individually negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2023 Notes, which closed concurrently with the issuance of the Notes. Innoviva expects to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.





Indenture


On March 7, 2022, Innoviva entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") with respect to the Notes with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Under the Indenture, the Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Innoviva and bear interest at a rate of 2.125% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2022. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted.

The Notes are convertible into shares of Innoviva's common stock, cash or a combination of shares of Innoviva's common stock and cash, at Innoviva's election, based on an initial conversion rate of 38.1432 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $26.22 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 35.0% to the $19.42 per share closing price of Innoviva's common stock on March 2, 2022. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments in certain circumstances.

Prior to September 15, 2027, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of specified events and during certain periods, and will be convertible on or after September 15, 2027 at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at Innoviva's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 20, 2025 and on or before the 75th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date but only if the last reported sale price per share of Innoviva's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

If Innoviva undergoes a "fundamental change" (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require Innoviva to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes. The fundamental change purchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company's common stock.





                                       2




The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including a merger covenant and that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The above description of the Indenture and the Notes is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture (and the Form of Note included therein), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.





Capped Call Confirmations



On March 2, 2022, in connection with the offering of the Notes, Innoviva entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with Bank of America, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (the "option counterparties"). The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $33.9850 per share, which represents approximately a 75.00% premium to the . . .

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act. Innoviva does not intend to file a registration statement for the resale of the Notes or any common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

To the extent that any shares of common stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes, they will be issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof. Assuming the Initial Purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, initially, a maximum of 13,903,191 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued upon conversion of the Notes, based on the initial maximum conversion rate issuable upon a make-whole fundamental change of 51.4933 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.
