Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registration under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

On December 20, 2013, SpectraScience, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser purchased a 5% original issue discount unsecured convertible debenture of the Company with a principal amount of $263,157.90 (the “Debenture”). The Purchaser may initially convert the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.045, subject to adjustment, together with a five-year warrant (the “Warrant” and together with the Debenture, the “Securities”) to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Debenture, at an exercise price equal to $0.09 per share, subject to adjustment.  The conversion price of the Debenture and the exercise price of the Warrant are subject to customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. 

The Subscription Agreement contains certain customary subscriber and Company representations and warranties, and certain risk factors related to the private placement and the Company.

The Debenture provides that the Company will pay interest to the holder at an interest rate of 10% per annum on principal being converted on any voluntary conversion date (as to that principal amount then being converted), and will pay interest to the holder at the same rate on the maturity date of December 20, 2014. The Company may pay interest due either in cash or, at its option, in shares of its common stock. The Debenture also contains certain customary negative covenants and events of default, including the Company’s failure to pay principal and interest, material defaults under the other transaction documents, bankruptcy, and the Company’s failure to deliver common stock certificates after a conversion date. Finally, the Debenture provides that, to be effective, action taken pursuant to the Debenture, including but not limited to amendments, waivers or declaration of defaults (which shall accelerate payment of principal, interest, and all other amounts owing on the Debenture), requires the affirmative consent of holders of 25% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of debentures of the same series.

The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price equal to $0.09 per share until the Warrant termination date of December 20, 2018. The Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision. In the event the Purchaser exercises the Warrants on a cashless basis, the Company will not receive any proceeds.

The Securities were offered and sold on a best efforts basis. The Company hired a consultant, Mr. John Evey (the “Consultant”), to assist in the offering and sale process pursuant to a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Evey, dated July 18, 2013 (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the Consulting Agreement, the Company will pay the Consultant a cash fee of $20,000 in connection with the sale of the Securities.

The description of the Consulting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consulting Agreement, the full text of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2013.

The Securities were offered and sold to subscribers in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.  Each of the persons and/or entities receiving the Securities represented itself as an accredited investor (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). The Securities referred to herein have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
