Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
See Item 2.03 below.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On January 18, 2013, Protalex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (OTCBB: PRTX) (the “Company”) borrowed an additional $2.5 million from Niobe Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Niobe”) and the Company’s existing secured lender. The Company issued a secured promissory note to Niobe in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the “January 2013 Secured Note”) evidencing the loan. The January 2013 Secured Note bears interest at a rate of 3% per annum and matures on January 15, 2015.
The Company’s obligations under the January 2013 Secured Note, and all prior borrowings from Niobe, are secured by a security agreement granting Niobe a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s personal property and assets, including its intellectual property (the “Security Agreement”). In addition, payment of the principal and accrued interest on the January 2013 Secured Note will, at Niobe’s election, automatically become immediately due and payable if the Company undertakes certain Fundamental Transactions or upon an Event of Default, both as defined in the January 2013 Secured Note.
The foregoing descriptions of the January 2013 Secured Note and the Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
