Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed in its current report on Form 8-K filed on April 24, 2015, on April 21, 2015, CannaPharmaRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with CannaPharmaRX, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Canna Colorado"), and CPHR Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acquisition Sub"), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub agreed to merge with and into Canna Colorado, with Canna Colorado remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and a Statement of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado (the "Effective Time"), all capital stock of Canna Colorado issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a like number of shares of common stock of the Company.

On June 29, 2015, the Company closed the Merger Agreement, with 100% of the Canna Colorado shareholders exchanging, at a 1:1 exchange ratio, a total of 9,750,000 Canna Colorado shares (the "Canna Colorado Exchanged Shares") in return for a total of 9,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As such, prior to the closing of the Merger, and as a condition to the closing of the Merger, the Company issued 9,750,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to the Canna Colorado shareholders.

There exist material relationships between the Company, Canna Colorado and several of their respective directors and officers. Gerry Crocker is a director, officer and shareholder of each of the Company and Canna Colorado. Gary Herick, Robert "Bo" Liess, Mathew Sherwood and James Smeeding are shareholders of Canna Colorado and directors of the Company. These individuals exchanged their shares of Canna Colorado for shares of the Company subject to the same terms applied to all other Canna Colorado shareholders.

The Company relied upon the exemption afforded by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which is a safe harbor for the private offering exemption of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Canna Colorado shareholders that receive restricted shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Merger were composed solely of accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and no more than 35 non-accredited investors.





Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

The disclosure set forth in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the aforementioned Merger is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

As a result of the Merger, the Company experienced a change in control. Before the closing of the Merger, Canna Colorado beneficially owned 10,421,120 shares of the Company’s common stock, comprising 55.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the transactions related to the Merger Agreement, Canna Colorado no longer owns shares of the Company’s common stock. The closing of the Merger Agreement did not result in any changes to the Board of Directors and management of the Company and the operations of the Company are the continuing operations of the Company.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock immediately following consummation of the Merger, by:

• each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock,
• each of our named executive officers and directors, and
• all executive officers and directors as a group.

This table has been prepared based on 17,939,622 shares outstanding after the Merger, which reflects: (i) the retirement of the 10,421,120 shares of Company common stock held by Canna Colorado immediately before the closing of the Merger and (ii) the issuance of 9,750,000 shares of common stock to the Canna Colorado shareholders in the Merger, resulting in a net reduction of 671,120 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, all shares are held by the person named and are subject to sole voting and investment by such person.
