Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

As of May 16, 2016, Atossa Genetics Inc. (the “Company”) has outstanding warrants to purchase 4,177,050 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.60 per share and 75,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.25 per share, all of which were issued in connection with a private financing on various dates in 2011 (the “2011 Warrants”). The 2011 Warrants were scheduled to expire on June 23, 2016. To allow additional time for the 2011 Warrants to be exercised and to potentially generate future cash proceeds to the Company, on May 16, 2016, the Company decided to extend the expiration date of the Warrants to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on May 8, 2018. No action is required by the holders of the 2011 Warrants to effectuate this modification and all provisions of the 2011 Warrants remain in full force and effect. None of the 2011 Warrants are held by officers, directors or affiliates of the Company.
