Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 7, 2017, the Company and an institutional health care investor holding Class B Warrants exercisable for 13,527,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company entered into an agreement for investment of approximately $2.7 million into the Company through the exercise in full of the Class B Warrants in return for amendment of the investor’s Class B Warrants to reduce the exercise from $1.00 to $0.20 per share (the “Amended Exercise Price”), as set forth in a Warrant Repricing Letter Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”). As previously reported, the Class B Warrants were originally issued on March 17, 2017 with an exercise period of three months, and the exercise period was previously extended to August 24, 2017. Also in consideration for the investor’s exercise in full of the Class B Warrants, the Company agreed to issue to the investor new Series A Warrants exercisable for the purchase of 13,527,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Series A Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.27 per share, with an exercise period of five years. If the exercise of the amended Class B Warrants would cause the investor to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99% (as defined in the amended Class B Warrants), then the Company will only issue such number of shares to the investor as instructed by the investor and as would not cause such investor to exceed the maximum number of shares permitted under the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, with the balance of shares to be held in abeyance until the balance may be issued in compliance with such limitations.

 

The description of terms and conditions of the Exercise Agreement and Series A Warrants are set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exercise Agreement and Series A Warrants, which are attached as exhibits hereto.
