Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August 22, 2019, Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”), announced that it has entered into subscription
agreements (the “Subscription Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”)
of its Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with a group of accredited investors,
including the Company’s chief executive officer, president and chairman of the board of directors and the chief information
officer (the “Investors”). The Private Placement closed with respect to each investor on August 22, 2019. As
a result of the Private Placement, the Company expects to issue and sell 1,548,151 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.27
per share (the “Purchase Price”) for total expected gross proceeds of $418,000. The Purchase Price represents
the greater of (i) the lower of (x) the closing price per share of Common Stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) on August 21, 2019
or (y) the average closing price per share of Common Stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately
preceding August 22, 2019 and (ii) the consolidated closing bid price per share of Common Stock on August 21, 2019.
The
issuance of the Common Stock will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder
and such Common Stock will therefore be restricted. Each investor gave representations that he, she or it was an “accredited
investor” (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that he, she or it is purchasing such securities without a present
view toward a distribution of the securities. In addition, there was no general solicitation conducted in connection with the
offer and sale of the securities.
The
foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety
by, the full text of the form of Subscription Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by
reference in its entirety.
