On November 4, 2021, Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (the "Company") reported that it entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the "Sale Agreement") with Jefferies LLC (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000, from time to time, in any method that is deemed to be an "at the market" offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") through the Agent (Filing, 8-K, Puma Biotechnology, NOV 4, 2021, View Source [SID1234594447]). Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Agent. The Agent will receive a commission from the Company equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sale Agreement.
The Company is not obligated to sell, and the Agent is not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the Sale Agreement.

No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any shares of common stock under the Sale Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares of common stock that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place.
In the Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Agent against certain liabilities, including under the Securities Act, or to contribute payments that the Agent may be required to make because of such liabilities.
The shares of common stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement will be offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333‑257687), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 13, 2021.
