Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 19, 2015 Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters 17,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase a single share of common stock each, at an exercise price of $0.85 per share (the “Warrants”). The Shares and Warrants will be sold at a public offering price of $0.75 for a fixed combination of one Share and one Warrant in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). The Company has also granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 shares of common stock and 2,625,000 Warrants to cover over-allotments, if any.

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 24, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The gross proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $13.1 million, assuming no exercise of the Warrants and prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with the Offering. The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-182476), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 2, 2012 and declared effective by the Commission on July 20, 2012.

The terms of the Warrants will be set forth in an agency agreement between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as agent for the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), and the related certificate for the Warrants (the “Warrant Certificate”), each to be entered into in connection with the closing of the Offering.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue or sell any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock for a period of 180 days following the date of the Underwriting Agreement without the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

The Company’s officers and directors, other than Jan Koe, aggregating approximately 11.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2015, have agreed, for a period of 180 days following the Offering, not to (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge, or other agreement or arrangement that transfers the economic risk of ownership of such securities, or (iii) engage in any short selling of any such securities. In addition, the Company’s officers and directors have waived, during the same period, any demand registration rights with respect to any such securities.

The Underwriting Agreement has been attached hereto as an exhibit to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of the Underwriting Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.


Copies of the Underwriting Agreement and the forms of Warrant Agency Agreement and Warrant Certificate relating to the Warrants to be issued in connection with the Offering are filed herewith as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, counsel to the Company, has issued an opinion to the Company, dated June 19, 2015, regarding the Shares and Warrants to be sold in the Offering. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Offering by the Company and the documentation related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibits.
