ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On January 27, 2020, ImmunoGen, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it had closed its previously announced public offering of 24,523,750 shares of its common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 3,195,750 additional shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $4.25 per share. The Company sold an aggregate of 24,523,750 shares of its common stock, with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $97.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The Company's press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the public offering, the Company is also filing information for the purpose of supplementing and updating the risk factor disclosures contained in its prior public filings, including those discussed under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019. The updated risk factor reads as follows:

We have a limited number of authorized and unreserved shares available for future issuance, which may impair our ability to conduct future financings and other transactions.

Our restated articles of organization, as amended, currently authorizes us to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Following the closing of our January 2020 public offering of common stock, we have a limited number of authorized shares of common stock available for future issuance that are not already issued or reserved for issuance.

If we are unable to enter into new arrangements to issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock because we do not have a sufficient number of authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of common stock, our ability to complete equity-based financings or other transactions that involve the potential issuance of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock, will be limited. In lieu of issuing common stock or securities convertible into our common stock in any future equity financing transactions, we may need to issue some or all of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, which would likely have superior rights, preferences and privileges to those of our common stock, or we may need to issue debt that is not convertible into shares of our common stock, which may require us to grant security interests in our assets and property and/or impose covenants upon us that restrict our business. If we are unable to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock, our ability to enter into strategic transactions such as acquisitions of companies or technologies, may also be limited. If we propose to amend our restated articles of organization, as amended, to increase our authorized shares of common stock, such a proposal would require the approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, and we cannot assure you that such a proposal would be adopted. If we are unable to complete financing, strategic or other transactions due to our inability to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock, our financial condition and business prospects may be materially harmed.
