Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On December 31, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase
agreement with Manchester Securities Corp., an existing
institutional investor and an affiliate of Elliott Associates,
L.P., for the purchase and sale of a senior secured convertible
note in the aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000 and a warrant
to purchase up to an aggregate of 450,000 shares of our common
stock, for gross proceeds of $7,500,000. The warrant is immediately
exercisable, has an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to
adjustment in the event of stock dividends and distributions, stock
splits, stock combinations, or reclassifications affecting our
common stock, and has a term of five years. A description of
the note is set forth in Item 2.03 hereof.
The closing of the note and warrant sale and purchase occurred
simultaneously with entry into the securities purchase agreement.
No placement agent or underwriter was involved in the
offering.
We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering for general
corporate purposes primarily related to our Neutrolin®
development program, including clinical trials, research and
development expenses and general and administrative
expenses.
On the same date, and in connection with the sale of the note and
warrant, we
amended and restated the following warrants held by Elliott
Associates, L.P. and its affiliates to reduce the exercise price of
each warrant to $0.001 per share: warrants issued in May 2013 to
purchase up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock
with a pre-amendment exercise price of $0.65 per share and an
expiration date of May 30, 2019; and warrants issued in October
2013 to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common
stock with a pre-amendment exercise price of $0.90 per share and an
expiration date of October 22, 2019. The amendment of these
warrants was previously reported on December 21, 2018; the
amendment and restatement of these warrants simply memorializes the
amendment to the respective exercise prices.
The warrant, the third amended and restated May 2013 warrant, the
form of the second amended and restated October 2013 warrant and
the securities purchase agreement, are filed herewith as Exhibits
4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein
by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the warrants and the
securities purchase agreement are not complete and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the respective
exhibits.
On January 3, 2019, we issued a press release to report the closing
of the secured loan transaction, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1.
The note and warrant were issued and sold in a transaction exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof. The note and warrant may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or
exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the note or
the warrant or any other securities of our company.
Also in conjunction with the closing of the sale and issuance, we
and Elliott Associates, L.P. and certain of its affiliates that
hold shares of various series of our preferred stock and warrants
to purchase shares of our common stock agreed to waive any rights
of conversion or exercise for all of the shares of our Series C-2,
D, E and F preferred stock , as well as warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 4,014,859 shares of our common stock (collectively
with the shares of Series C-2, D, E, and F preferred stock, the
"Elliott Derivative Securities"), until the earliest to
occur of (i) the effective date on which our Certificate of
Incorporation is amended to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock, (ii) the effective date on which we effect
a reverse stock split of our common stock, (iii) one business day
immediately prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction
(as defined in the instruments governing the applicable Elliott
Derivative Securities), and (iv) April 30, 2019.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a
Registrant.
As noted in Item 1.01, on December 31, 2018, we entered into a
securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued a senior
secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of
$7,500,000. The note is a senior, secured obligation, guaranteed by
all of our assets. The note bears interest at the rate of 10.0% per
annum, compounded quarterly. Interest is first payable on January
2, 2019, and on the first trading day of each month thereafter. The
note matures on December 30, 2021.
Any accrued but unpaid interest for the applicable interest period
will be added to the principal outstanding under the notes. The
noteholder may convert its
outstanding note principal amount, and any accrued and unpaid
interest, at any time into
shares of common stock at the conversion rate. Additionally, the
note will automatically convert at the conversion rate into shares
of common stock, if, prior to the maturity date, the average
closing sale price of our common stock for any 20 trading days
during any consecutive 30 trading days equals or exceeds 150% of
the conversion price. We have the right to pay any accrued interest
in cash for any calendar month during which the average closing
sale price of our common stock averaged at least 150% of the
conversion price of the notes. In the event we default on our
obligations under the notes, all amounts under the notes will
automatically become immediately due and owing.
On or after July 1, 2020, we may prepay any principal amount
outstanding on the notes in amounts of $2,000,000 (or in full, if
less than $2,000,000), provided that if the prepayment occurs
between July 2, 2020 and March 30, 2021, the prepayment amount will
equal 110% of the principal amount being repaid and if the
prepayment occurs after March 31, 2021, the prepayment amount will
equal 105% of the principal amount being repaid.
The conversion price of $1.50 per share is subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of stock dividends and distributions, stock
splits, stock combinations, or reclassifications affecting our
common stock. We will reserve, as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than April 30, 2019, shares of common stock equal to
125% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon
the conversion of the notes and upon exercise of the
warrants.
The note is attached hereto as
Exhibit 4.4 and is incorporated herein by reference. The
foregoing description of the note is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 4.4.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
