Securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act:

On March 19, 2020, iBio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the shares of common stock that may be issued and sold to Lincoln Park from time to time under the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, from time to time on any trading day the Company selects, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Purchase Agreement, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”) over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be based on the prevailing market price at the time of sale as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park’s obligation under each Regular Purchase shall not exceed $5,000,000. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, but in no event will shares be sold to Lincoln Park on a day the Company’s closing price is less than the floor price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Both the amount and frequency of the Regular Purchases can be increased upon the mutual agreement of the Company and Lincoln Park. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases or additional accelerated purchases if on the date of a Regular Purchase the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below the threshold price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company and Lincoln Park may mutually agree to increase the amount of Common Stock sold to Lincoln Park on any accelerated purchase date or additional accelerated purchase date.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement other than a prohibition on entering into any “Variable Rate Transaction,” as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

Under applicable rules of the NYSE American, in no event may we issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (which is 20,288,840 shares based on 101,444,205 shares outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), (i) unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than the Exchange Cap or (ii) except to the extent the issuances and sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are deemed to be at a price equal to or in excess of the greater of book or market value of the Common Stock as calculated in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American.

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits the Company from directing Lincoln Park to purchase any shares of Common Stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, would result in Lincoln Park and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of the Common Stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and Lincoln Park, limitations and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

The offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will terminate on the date that all shares offered by the Purchase Agreement have been sold or, if earlier, the expiration or termination of the Purchase Agreement. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, without fee, penalty or cost.

The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement to us will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of common stock to Lincoln Park. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement and the amount of such net proceeds will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to other available and appropriate sources of funding for the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of sales under the Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes. As consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitments under the Purchase Agreement, we will issue to Lincoln Park 815,827 shares of common stock.

The offer and sale of shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement was made under the Company’s previously filed and currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236735).

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement is a summary only and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the agreements attached as exhibits hereto.
