On October 2, 2017, Zogenix, Inc. (“Zogenix” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Leerink Partners LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale of 6,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The price to the public in this offering is $37.50 per share. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase the shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $35.25 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering are expected to be approximately $235.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering is expected to close on or about October 5, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,005,000 additional shares of Common Stock.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
