On March 12, 2013, VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), issued to Platinum Long Term Growth VII, LLC ("Platinum") a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $750,000 (the "Investment Note"), and a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $1.50 per share over a five year term (the "Investment Warrant"), each in accordance with the Note Exchange and Purchase Agreement, as amended (the "Agreement"), entered into by the Company and Platinum on October 11, 2012, and previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2012. The issuance to Platinum represents the final issuance of Investment Notes and Investment Warrants under the amended terms of the Agreement.

The Investment Note matures three years from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date").
