Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May
10, 2010, Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered
into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Numoda Purchase
Agreement”) with Numoda Capital Innovations, LLC (“NCI”) pursuant to
which the Company agreed to issue 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to NCI,
at a price per share of $0.17, in satisfaction of $595,000 of services rendered
to the Company by Numoda Corporation. The Company has agreed to register
such shares of common stock within 120 days of May 10, 2010.
The
description of the Numoda Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Numoda Purchase Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein in its
entirety.
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On May
13, 2010, the Company issued and sold 139 shares of non-convertible, redeemable
Series A preferred stock (“Series A Preferred
Stock”) to Optimus Life Sciences Capital Partners LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant
to the terms of a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the
Investor dated September 24, 2009 (the “Optimus Purchase
Agreement”). The aggregate purchase price for the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock was $1.39 million. No more shares of Series
A Preferred Stock remain available for sale under the Optimus Purchase
Agreement. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock described above are
being offered and sold in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon
exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The
information in Item 1.01 and 8.01 is incorporated herein by
reference.
Item
8.01 Other Events.
In
connection with the issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock
described above, an affiliate of the Investor exercised a warrant to purchase
7,607,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.18 per
share. The Company and the Investor also agreed to waive certain
terms and conditions in the Optimus Purchase Agreement and such warrant in order
to permit the affiliate of the Investor to exercise such warrant and acquire
beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock on the
date of exercise. As permitted by the terms of such warrant, the
aggregate exercise price of $1,369,260 received by the Company is payable
pursuant to a 4 year full recourse promissory note bearing interest at the rate
of 2% per year. In addition, in connection with the foregoing
issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued an
additional warrant to an affiliate of the Investor (the “Additional Warrant”)
to purchase up to 2,818,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise
price of $0.18 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as
provided in the Additional Warrant. The exercise price of the
Additional Warrant may be paid (at the option of the Investor) in cash or by the
Investor’s issuance of a four-year, full-recourse promissory note, bearing
interest at 2% per annum, and secured by specified portfolio of assets owned by
the Investor. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the public resale of shares
issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant no later than June 24, 2010 and
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective as soon as possible thereafter. The Additional
Warrant is exercisable through the third anniversary of the effective date of
such registration statement.
