Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 19, 2016, Pure Bioscience, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Warrant Termination Agreement (the “Warrant Termination Agreement”) with Franchise Brands, LLC (“Franchise Brands”) to terminate a warrant to purchase 6,666,666 shares of the Company’s common stock with a term of five years from the date of issuance (the “Warrant”). The Company had previously issued the Warrant to Franchise Brands in October 2015 in connection with a private placement financing. The Warrant included certain terms, including anti-dilution provisions, that caused the Warrant to be treated as a derivative liability in the Company’s financial statements, and has negatively impacted the Company’s reported stockholders’ equity. The Company has previously announced its intention to pursue an uplisting of its common stock to a national stock exchange. The negative impact of the Warrant on the Company’s stockholders’ equity has constrained its ability to meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement to qualify for such an uplisting. The Company discussed the negative impact of the Warrant on the Company’s uplisting efforts with Franchise Brands and Franchise Brands agreed to terminate the Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Termination Agreement.

 

Forward-Looking Statements.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements, including among other items, statements regarding the Company’s efforts to uplist its common stock to a national stock exchange. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and inherently involve risks and uncertainties and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Many factors could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from the results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including the Company’s ability to uplist its common stock to a national stock exchange and other risks detailed in the Company’s periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date hereof.
