Item 1.01.
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
ReGen Biologics, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) entered into a Subscription and Security Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2011 (the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company and Sports Medicine Holding Company LLC (the “Lender”) for the private placement of an aggregate principal amount of up to $750,000 of the Company’s secured notes (the “Notes”).  The Lender is an affiliate of Ivy Healthcare Capital II, L.P., one of the Company’s secured creditors and a significant stockholder of the Company.  The Notes are due and payable on August 31, 2011 and accrue interest at an annual rate of 12%. The Notes are secured by a first priority lien, which is senior to the liens on the Company’s outstanding prior secured bridge financings, on substantially all assets of the Company and a second priority lien on certain encumbered assets of the Company and are subject to a premium equal to 300% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the event the Company consummates certain fundamental transactions as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.  At the option of the holder, the Notes shall be repaid (a) at the election of the holder, in the form of (i) equity securities of the Company if certain notes issued in a prior bridge financing by the Company have converted, (ii) debt securities of ReGen AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ReGen AG”), or (iii) cash or (b) if no election has been made pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) prior to the consummation of an equity financing by ReGen AG for an aggregate purchase price of at least $5,000,000, then, upon such consummation, automatically in the form of equity securities of ReGen AG.
 
In connection with the financing, the Company issued five-year warrants that provide for the Lender to purchase a number of shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) of the Company equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by the Lender divided by $3.00, for a purchase price of $1.00 per share.
 
The Company has agreed to register the securities into which the Notes and the warrants will convert on one or more registration statements to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request by the Lender.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreement, the Notes and the warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Subscription Agreement, Form of Note and Form of Warrant, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 3.02. 
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
The information contained above in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
