Item 1.01            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 22, 2016, we entered into an Agreement to Amend and Exercise Warrants with Sabby Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Purchasers”) with respect to:

 

 

●

The exercise by the Purchasers of their Series E Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Series E Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of 1,502,078 shares of our common stock for cash at $0.09416 per share in return for a warrant exercise fee of $0.04416 per share purchased; and

  ● Exercise by the Purchasers of a sufficient number of outstanding Series D Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Series D Warrants”) such that each of the Purchasers shall thereafter be the beneficial owner of 9.98% of our common stock (after taking into account the exercise of the Series E Warrants). The exercise price for each share purchased is $0.05.

 

 As of the date of the agreement, Sabby Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd each owned Series D Warrants to acquire 8,333,333 shares of our common stock. The Purchasers also agreed that if they desire to acquire additional shares of our common stock, then subject to specified conditions, they shall purchase such Common Stock by exercising sufficient 2015 Warrants such that a minimum of 50% of each such acquisition results from exercise of 2015 Warrants before acquiring such shares pursuant to any other rights to acquire Common Stock (such as the right to convert Series C Convertible Preferred Stock) until they have acquired all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to the 2015 Warrants.

 

The foregoing description of the letter agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement.  A copy of the agreement is attached as an exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 in its entity. As noted, on December 22, 2016, the Purchasers agreed to exercise Series E Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,502,078 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value. The Purchasers also agreed to acquire approximately 4,010,422 shares of our common stock by exercise of Series D Warrants. Upon exercise of the Series E and Series D Warrants, the outstanding common stock will consist of 55,235,233 shares. The common stock was offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The agreed upon issuance of the common stock was not registered under the Securities Act and the common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements. The resale of the common stock by the Purchasers is currently covered by effective registration statements on Form S-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-208549 with respect to shares acquired upon exercise of Series D and E Warrants,).
