Common Stock Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Takeda Collaboration Agreement, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Takeda in January 2018, pursuant to which we sold 4,214,559 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) to Takeda for an aggregate purchase price of $110.0 million. We closed the sale to Takeda in February 2018.

At closing, we also entered into a standstill and stock restriction agreement (the “Takeda Standstill Agreement”) with Takeda. Pursuant to the terms of the Takeda Standstill Agreement, Takeda agreed to certain transfer and standstill restrictions for a specified period of time following the closing of the sale, which have now expired. Takeda remains entitled to certain demand registration rights with respect to the Shares following termination of the transfer restrictions if the Shares cannot be resold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The agreement included the purchase of an option for $0.5 million to acquire all outstanding shares pursuant to a pre-negotiated buy-out option agreement. We exercised this buy-out option in May 201
