Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 30, 2018, vTv Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), with MacAndrews & Forbes Group LLC (the “Investor”), for the Investor’s commitment to purchase, at the Company’s option, exercisable on demand during a one-year period after the date of the Letter Agreement (the “Investment Period”), the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) at a per share price of $1.33, which is equal to the average of the volume weighted-average prices of the Common Stock for the five last completed trading days preceding our entry into the Letter Agreement.   The Letter Agreement also permits the Investor to exercise an option to purchase Common Stock at the same price up to three times during the Investment Period.  The aggregate amount of Common Stock that may be purchased by the Investor (whether at its or the Company’s option) pursuant to the Letter Agreement is limited to $10.0 million.

In consideration for the commitment of the Investor under the Letter Agreement, the Investor will receive warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 518,654 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $1.53, which is 115% of the option price under the Letter Agreement.  The Warrants will be exercisable until July 30, 2025.

The obligation of the Investor to fund and the obligation of the Company to issue shares under the Letter Agreement is subject to the execution of mutually acceptable definitive documentation at the time of a request for funding.

As of July 30, 2018, subsidiaries and affiliates of the Investor held 23,084,267 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock and 4,327,994 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. As a result, the Investor’s holdings represent approximately 79.4% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  Three of the Company’s directors, Steven M. Cohen, Paul M. Meister and Paul G. Savas are also employees of the Investor.  The transactions described above were approved in accordance with the Company’s Related Person Transactions Policy.

The descriptions of the Letter Agreement and the Warrants contained herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement and the Warrants, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2018.
