Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 10, 2012, Redpoint Bio Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Celator Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Celator”) entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) whereby the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Exchange Transaction Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that the parties entered into on June 14, 2012. Celator agreed to pre-pay to the Company the remaining $12,500 due under the Exchange Agreement.

 

Under the Exchange Agreement, holders of shares of Celator’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Celator Common Stock”), were to exchange (the “Exchange Transaction”) such shares of Celator Common Stock for shares of to be designated Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. Upon the completion of the Exchange Transaction, Celator would have become a subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company believes that its current available funds are only sufficient to meet certain of its operating requirements through August 2012. There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is looking at all alternatives in an effort to reduce its liabilities and sell its other assets, including monetizing the License and Commercialization Agreement entered into with International Flavors and Fragrances, Inc. in June 2010.

 

It is contemplated that the Termination Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
