Securities Purchase Agreement

 

As previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on From 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2017, on December 12, 2017, Vitality Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers identified therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to the Purchasers (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 933,332 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Shares”), and warrants to purchase up to 466,667 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, collectively, the “Warrant Shares”). The Offering closed on December 15, 2017. The Shares and Warrants were sold at a price of $1.50 per Share and Warrant. After deducting for fees and expenses, the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants is approximately $1,395,000.

 

On the closing of the Offering, the Company issued to each Purchaser shares of the Company’s common stock together with a Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the Purchaser to acquire up to a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the Shares purchased by the Purchaser under the Securities Purchase Agreement, has an exercise price of $2.00 per share, is immediately exercisable, and expires on the three year anniversary of the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for subsequent equity sales by the Company, and are subject to adjustment for stock dividends and splits, subsequent rights offerings and pro rata distributions to the Company’s common stockholders. The exercisability of the Warrants may be limited if, upon exercise, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the Company’s common stock.

 

On the closing of the Offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company is obligated to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission one or more registration statements to register the Shares and Warrant Shares for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The initial such registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days after the closing of the Offering.

 

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each document, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2017.
