Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 19, 2014, MacroGenics, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a transaction with Janssen Biotech, Inc.  ("Janssen") and its affiliate, Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JJDC, Inc. ("JJDC") comprised of a collaboration and license agreement with Janssen (the "Collaboration Agreement") and a stock purchase agreement and investor agreement, each with JJDC (the "Stock Purchase Agreement" and "Investor Agreement", respectively, and collectively with the Collaboration Agreement, the "Agreements").  The closing of these Agreements is subject to the early termination or expiration of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
 
Collaboration Agreement
 
Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Janssen will be fully responsible for developing the Company's proprietary product candidate, MGD011, following submission of the investigational new drug application for MGD011 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake certain development, regulatory and commercialization activities.  MGD011 incorporates the Company's proprietary platform for Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART®) to simultaneously target CD19, a cell-surface protein found on B cells including certain neoplastic B cells, and CD3, a protein found on T cells. This product candidate will be developed for the treatment of various leukemias and lymphomas that express the CD19 protein. MGD011 is currently in pre-clinical development.
 
Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company will receive a $50 million upfront license fee from Janssen. Assuming successful development and commercialization, the Company could receive up to an additional $575 million in clinical, regulatory and commercialization milestone payments as well as double-digit royalties on any global net sales.  The Company also has the option to fund a portion of  the clinical development and receive a share of the profits net of expenses from sales in the U.S. and Canada in lieu of certain of the milestones and royalties.  In addition, the Company has the option to co-promote MGD011 with Janssen in the U.S.
 
Janssen may terminate the Collaboration Agreement at any time upon 180 days' written notice to the Company. Janssen may also terminate the Collaboration Agreement in the event of certain safety concerns, or in the event of bankruptcy of the Company, and the Company may terminate the Collaboration Agreement in certain circumstances if Janssen challenges certain of the Company's patents. The Collaboration Agreement also contains customary provisions for termination by either party in the event of breach of the Collaboration Agreement, subject to cure, by the other party.
 
Stock Purchase Agreement
 
Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, JJDC will invest $75 million to purchase 1,923,077 new shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $39.00 per share upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreements, subject to customary representations and warranties and customary closing conditions.  Under the terms of the Investor Agreement, the Company has provided JJDC with certain rights to have the Company's shares it will hold registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act").  JJDC has also agreed that it will hold the shares for a specified period of time, vote the shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board (other than with respect to extraordinary transactions), and provide the Company, through its representatives, with an irrevocably proxy for such matters.  In addition, JJDC has agreed that for a certain period of time, neither it nor its affiliates will undertake certain actions related to the potential acquisition of additional equity interests in the Company.
 
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreements, which the Company intends to file as exhibits to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2014.
 
Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement above is incorporated herein by reference.  The issuance of the shares is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereunder.
