Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 15, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) declared effective the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-133614) of Neogen Corporation (the “Company”) filed on April 27, 2006 with the Commission (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement permits the Company and certain selling stockholders to sell, in one or more offerings, up to 750,000 shares and 250,000 shares, respectively, of common stock, par value $0.16 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”).
On June 1, 2006, the Company and certain of such selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Stonegate Securities, Inc. (together, the “Placement Agents”), pursuant to which the Placement Agents have agreed to act as exclusive placement agents in connection with offerings of the Shares.
On June 2, 2006, the Company announced that it had priced an offering of 800,000 Shares (the “Offering”), of which 650,000 will be sold by the Company and 150,000 will be sold by the Selling Stockholders, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16.0 million. The Company expects that the net proceeds of the Offering to the Company will be approximately $12,237,000 after deducting the placement agency fees and all estimated offering expenses that are payable by the Company. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
A copy of the Placement Agency Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Placement Agency Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. The Company’s press release announcing the Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
