Item 3.02 |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
The information set forth under Item 8.01 below is
incorporated herein by reference.
On March 20, 2015, RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the Company) entered
into an exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with Tang Capital Partners, LP (TCP) pursuant to which TCP exchanged a total of 2,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred
Stock) for a like number of shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series A-1 Preferred Stock). The terms of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock are identical in all respects to the Series A Preferred Stock, other than
the elimination of cash penalties that would potentially be due and payable upon the failure of the Company to have enough shares of its Common Stock available to permit the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock. As a result of
the elimination of this penalty, the Company will recognize a decrease of $2 million in the face value of the Series A Preferred Stock and a corresponding increase in the face value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, which will be reflected on the
Companys balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and will result in the addition of $2 million to stockholders equity.
The issuance of the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock under the Exchange Agreement was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Company issued the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of the exemption provided for in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act for securities exchanged by the issuer with an existing security holder. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or
indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
