Item1.01. 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On June 3, 2016, ChromaDex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain existing stockholders pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering a total of 1,117,022 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $4.70 per share.  The Company has not engaged an underwriter or placement agent in connection with this offering. The offering is expected to close on or about June 6, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions contained in the Purchase Agreements.
 
The offering is made pursuant to the Company’s previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2015 and became effective on June 5, 2015 (File No. 333-203204). The Company filed a prospectus supplement related to the offering on June 3, 2016.
 
The company intends to use $4,857,948.52 of the net proceeds from the offering to retire in full its outstanding indebtedness owed to Hercules Technology II, L.P. pursuant to the September 29, 2014 loan and security agreement by and among the Company, Hercules Technology II, L.P., as lender, and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., as agent, pursuant to which Hercules Technology II, L.P. provided the Company with access to a term loan of up to $5,000,000.  The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.  The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that the respective parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other parties thereto in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements or as stated therein and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Purchase Agreements and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.  
 
A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP relating to the validity of the issuance and sale of the securities in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
