Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by ProtoKinetix, Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the "Company" or "ProtoKinetix") on November 9, 2017, Clarence E. Smith, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an unsecured promissory note with the Company in the amount of $86,000 on October 23, 2017, and a second unsecured promissory note in the amount of $30,000 on November 3, 2017.

On January 12, 2018, the Company cancelled both promissory notes in exchange for the issuance of common stock of the Company to Mr. Smith, as described below in Item 3.02.  The total principal and interest owed under the promissory notes on January 12, 2018 was $117,962.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

On December 23, 2017, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share to an accredited investor for a total of $50,000 in gross proceeds pursuant to a private placement.

On January 12, 2018, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share to an accredited investor for a total of $50,000 in gross proceeds pursuant to a private placement.

Also on January 12, 2018, the Company issued 2,359,240 shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share to Mr. Smith in exchange for the cancellation of principal and interest totaling $117,962.00 due under the promissory notes described in Item 1.02.

For each of the three sales of common stock of the Company, no solicitation was used in the offerings.  The Company relied on the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act with respect to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  No commissions were paid in connection with these issuances of securities.  A Form D was filed previously on September 21, 2017.
