ImmunoGen Announces Non-Dilutive Term Loan Financing for Up to $175 Million with Pharmakon Advisors

ImmunoGen to Receive $75 Million Upon Execution of the Agreement; Eligible to Receive up to an Additional $100 Million in Near-Term Proceeds

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today announced it has entered into a term loan financing facility for up to $175 million with entities managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP ("Pharmakon"). Proceeds from the agreement will strengthen ImmunoGen's balance sheet and provide the Company with additional capital to support its growth trajectory.

Under the terms of the agreement, the loan facility will be available to ImmunoGen in two tranches. The initial tranche of $75 million will be drawn upon execution; the second tranche of $50 million will be available at the Company's option upon achievement of positive top-line data from its confirmatory MIRASOL trial and a net sales threshold for ELAHERE™ (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx). This tranche may be increased to $100 million upon mutual agreement of the parties. The facility will mature five years from initial funding; payments will be interest-only during the first 36 months, with an extension of 12 months if certain conditions are met, after which ratable principal payments will commence for the remainder of the loan. Interest will accrue at the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, subject to a 2.75% floor, plus 8.00% per annum.

"Our agreement with Pharmakon strengthens our financial position as we execute against our strategic priorities, including accelerating the launch of ELAHERE and investing in our pipeline of next-generation ADCs," said Mark Enyedy, ImmunoGen's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Pharmakon is a well-respected partner to innovative biotechnology companies, and we look forward to utilizing the non-dilutive capital from this agreement to advance the business and drive value for our shareholders as a commercial oncology company."

"We are pleased to support ImmunoGen and this investment illustrates our confidence in the Company's ability to successfully commercialize ELAHERE while progressing the development of its earlier-stage assets and delivering on its mission to offer more good days to patients," said Martin Friedman, Pharmakon Managing Member.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC served as financial advisor to ImmunoGen on the transaction.
