FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the "Filings") contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant's management. When used in the Filings the words "anticipate,” "believe," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan" or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Registrant or Registrant's management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant's industry, Registrant's operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 

Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

ITEM 3.02     UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

 

On December 2, 2014, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the “Registrant”) sold $3,300,000 of units, comprised of common stock and warrants (the “Units”), to three affiliated institutional investors (collectively the “Purchaser”) at a price of $0.30 per Unit pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by the Registrant on November 26, 2014. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and five-year warrants to purchase 120% of the shares of common stock in the Unit (the “Warrants”), at an exercise price per share of $0.30 (the “Financing”). Accordingly, a total of 11,000,000 shares of common stock and Warrants to purchase 13,200,000 shares of common stock were issued and sold pursuant to the Agreement.

 

As part of the terms of the Agreement, on November 26, 2014, the Registrant entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock sold in the Financing, including the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants, within 20 calendar days following the closing of the Financing. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the registration statement does not become effective within certain time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registrant would be required to pay the Purchaser in the Financing an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate purchase price every month until such time as the registration statement becomes effective or the shares of common stock (and shares of common stock underlying the Warrants) sold in the Financing may be sold by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations.

 

The foregoing description of the Units, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the form of Securities Purchase Agreement attached to Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 28, 2014, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Roth Capital Partners served as sole placement agent for the Financing and received a cash fee of $231,000, expense reimbursement of $25,000, and a five-year warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share (the “Purchase Agent Warrant”) for its services in the Financing. In addition, Registrant paid $10,000 in legal expenses to the Purchaser’s counsel.

 

 

Each of the Warrants and the Purchase Agent Warrant (collectively, the “Financing Warrants”) may be exercised by the holder thereof (each, a “Holder”) by payment in cash or on a cashless or “net” basis. In the event that a Financing Warrant is exercised on a cashless basis, the Registrant will not receive any proceeds. The exercise price of the Financing Warrants is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. Each Warrant Holder has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to exercise its Financing Warrant such that the number of shares of common stock held by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates after such exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the Registrant’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agent Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of Purchase Agent Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

 

The common stock and Warrants to purchase common stock issued at the closing of the Financing, including the Purchase Agent Warrant, were offered and issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Both the Purchaser and Roth Capital Partners represented to the Registrant that each was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Regulation D and the Financing did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
