(a) The information in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 14, 2013, INVENT Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a promissory note in the amount of U.S. $110,000 (the “Note”) to Threshold Financial, LLC, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Investor”). The Note was priced to the Investor at $100,000, equal to 90.91% of its principal amount. The Note is due on the earlier of January 14, 2014 or the receipt of no less than U.S. $2,000,000 in funding from any private placement of equity securities (a “Qualified Equity Financing”). During the first six months outstanding, the Note bears interest at 7% per annum, increasing to 12% for the remaining six months until the Note is due. All amounts owed by the Company under the Note become immediately due and payable upon an event of default, which includes the Company’s failure to pay the Note for 10 days after the Investor’s notice thereof and the Company’s insolvency or failure to pay its debts as they become due.

In conjunction with the Note, the Company also issued the Investor a warrant to purchase shares of Company common stock (the “Threshold Warrant”). The Threshold Warrant has a term of three years and entitles the Investor to purchase $100,000 of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $0.50 per share or the price per share of the Company’s capital stock sold to investors in its next Qualified Equity Financing. In issuing the Threshold Warrant, the Company relied on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based upon the limited nature of the issuance.

The foregoing descriptions of the Note and Threshold Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Note and Threshold Warrant, copies of which are to be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2012.
