Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 31, 2017, CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) issued $1.15 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and related warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) in a private placement to various accredited investors, pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with each (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), in exchange for cash in an equal amount. The proceeds are anticipated to be used for general working capital and to fund clinical trials.

The Notes are the general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all other creditors of the Company. The principal amount of the Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is convertible at the election of the holders into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to maturity at an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share. The Notes bear simple interest at the annual rate of 7.0%. Principal and accrued interest, to the extent not previously paid in cash or converted, is due and payable on January 31, 2018.

The Notes include events of default for nonpayment of principal or interest when due, upon which the payment of principal and interest may be accelerated. Prepayment by the Company is permitted without penalty upon 10 days prior written notice to investors.

Conversion rights under the Notes and the terms of the related Warrants are described under Item 3.02, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 31, 2017, the Company sold $1.15 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes and related Warrants to various accredited investors. The principal amount of the Notes plus unpaid accrued interest is convertible at the election of the holders into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to maturity, at an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share, with an aggregate of 1,533,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Notes issued on May 31, 2017. Additional terms of the Notes and the offering thereof are described under Item 2.03 above, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

As part of the investment in the Notes, the Company also issued Warrants exercisable for 25% of the shares into which the Notes are convertible, with Warrants for an aggregate of 383,333 shares of Common Stock issued on May 31, 2017. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.35 per share. The Warrants are currently exercisable in full and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

The Subscription Agreements contain certain “piggyback” registration rights relating to resales of shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and the Warrants.

Each of the investors has represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company relied on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the Note and Warrants.

The foregoing description of the Notes and the Warrants and the offering thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes, the Warrants and the Subscription Agreements, the forms of each of which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
