Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On November 14, 2012 and November 15, 2012, AspenBio Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two (2) underwriting agreements (collectively, the “Underwriting Agreements”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Representative”), as representative of the several underwriters (the Representative and such other underwriters, collectively, the “Underwriters”), for firm commitment underwritten public offerings of an aggregate 1,946,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”).  All of the Shares are being sold by the Company. The offering price to the public is $2.10 per share, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase the Shares from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements at a price of $1.95 per share. After underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, the Company expects to receive net proceeds from the offering of approximately $3.7 million. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreements, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase up to an additional 291,900 shares of Common Stock to cover overallotments, if any, at the same price per share as the Shares.

The Shares will be issued pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which became effective on July 27, 2011 (File No. 333-174213). The closing of the offering is expected to take place on November 20, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
 
The Underwriting Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company. They also provide for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters for losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreements, each of the Company’s officers and directors have entered into agreements with the Underwriters not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Company during the 90-day period following November 15, 2012.
 
Copies of the Underwriting Agreements are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2 and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the exhibits attached hereto.  

On November 14, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the offering of shares of its Common Stock, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
