Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equit y Securities and Use of Proceeds .
Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On October 4, 2016, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock, or IPO, in which we issued and sold an aggregate of 4,830,000 shares of common stock (including 630,000 shares issued and sold on October 7, 2016 pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares) at a public offering price of $9.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $36.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid or payable by us of approximately $4.4 million. The shares issued and sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-213469), as amended, and the final prospectus dated September 28, 2016 included in such registration statement, or the Prospectus.
To date, we have used $28.8 million of the net proceeds from the IPO, of which, $4.5 million was used for contributions to our joint venture, FF Gene Biotech, in partial satisfaction of our contribution obligations under the cooperation agreement for the joint venture and $24.3 million was used to fund the Company’s operations. All other net proceeds from the IPO are invested in investment-grade and interest-bearing securities, such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from the IPO from that described in the Prospectus.
On August 30 2019, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper as sales agent, which was amended on August 4, 2020, pursuant to which we offered and sold, from time to time, through Piper shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $44.9 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold an aggregate of 104,390 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement at a weighted-average selling price of $9.37 per share, which resulted in $979,000 of net proceeds. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we sold an aggregate of 1,107,884 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement at a weighted-average selling price of $38.50 per share, which resulted in $42.7 million of net proceeds to the Company. Shares sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement were offered and sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233227) filed with the SEC on August 12, 2019 and declared effective on August 23, 2019, and prospectus supplements and accompanying base prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2019, May 6, 2020 and August 5, 2020. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds as described in the prospectus supplements and accompanying base prospectus.
In addition, on November 13, 2019 we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Piper, as representative of the several underwriters, pursuant to which we sold 2,673,750 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.51875 per share, with a public offering price of $11.25 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $27.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid or payable by us of approximately $2.4 million. The shares issued and sold in the underwritten offering were registered under the Securities Act and sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233227), and a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2019. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds as described in the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus.
In September 2020, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, or the 2020 Equity Distribution Agreement, with Piper as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through Piper, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million. Piper may receive a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds received by the Company for sales pursuant to the 2020 Equity Distribution Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold an aggregate of 200,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the 2020 Equity Distribution Agreement at a weighted-average selling price of $39.24 per share, which resulted in $7.8 million of net proceeds to the Company. Shares sold under the 2020 Equity Distribution Agreement were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239964) filed with the SEC on July 21, 2020, as amended on August 5, 2020, and declared effective on August 12, 2020, and prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2020.
