Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On January 14, 2019 and January 18, 2019, CytoDyn Inc. (the Company) issued $2.11 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the Notes) and related warrants (the Warrants) to purchase common stock of the Company (the Common Stock) in a private placement to various accredited investors (collectively, the Private Placements), pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with each (collectively, the Subscription Agreements), in exchange for cash in an equal amount. The proceeds are anticipated to be used for general working capital and to fund clinical trials.
The terms of the Private Placements and of the Notes and the Warrants are identical to those of the private placement that occurred on December 28, 2018 (the Prior Placement), as described in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2019 (the Prior 8-K),which is incorporated herein by reference. Each of the Notes matures nine months from the date of its initial issuance.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
In the Private Placements, the Company sold $2.11 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes and related Warrants to various accredited investors. The principal amount of the Notes plus unpaid accrued interest is convertible at the election of the holders into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to maturity at an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share, with an aggregate of 4,220,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock initially underlying the Notes.
As part of the investment in the Notes, the Company also issued Warrants exercisable for 50% of the shares into which the Notes are convertible, with Warrants for an aggregate of 2,110,000 shares of Common Stock issued in the Private Placements. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share. The Warrants are currently exercisable in full and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
As a result of the issuance of the Notes, pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, dated July 26, 2018, entered into in connection with an earlier private securities offering of common stock and warrants, the placement agent in that offering earned a tail fee comprising warrants exercisable for 402,000 shares of Common Stock (the Placement Agent Warrants) and a cash fee of $241,200. The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Placement Agent Warrants provide for cashless exercise.
Each of the Notes investors has represented to the Company that it is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Company relied on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants.
The descriptions contained herein of the Notes, the Warrants, the Subscription Agreement, the Placement Agent Warrants and the offering thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes, the Warrants the Subscription Agreements and the Placement Agent Warrants, the forms of which were filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 10.1, respectively, to the Prior Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
