SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On March 15, 2015 we executed a non-binding term sheet with Marina Biotech, Inc. (“Marina”), an oligonucleotide therapeutics company with broad drug discovery technologies providing the ability to develop proprietary single and double-stranded nucleic acid therapeutics including siRNAs, microRNA mimics, antagomirs, and antisense compounds, including messengerRNA therapeutics. The term sheet proposes a transaction in which we would purchase substantially all of the assets of Marina in exchange for approximately 6.7 million shares of our common stock, which shall represent 25% of our issued and outstanding stock on a fully diluted basis following the issuance of such shares. In addition, we would pay approximately $1 million in cash in various installments.

 

Completion of the proposed acquisition is contingent upon certain closing conditions, including customary due diligence considerations, the negotiation, execution and delivery of a definitive asset purchase agreement, the approval of Marina’s stockholders, and our completion of a financing of at least $5 million. There can be no assurance that an asset purchase agreement or a closing will occur based on satisfaction of these conditions.
