Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

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

  

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On March 29, 2018, CohBar, Inc. (“CohBar” or the “Company”) entered into Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors $2,142,500 aggregate principal amount of its 8% Unsecured Promissory Notes Due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued together with warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 428,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”).

 

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes will become due and payable on March 29, 2021. The Company’s obligations under the Notes may be prepaid at any time. During the term of the Notes, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Noteholder, enter into a debt obligation senior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under the Notes. Provided that the Company’s common stock is not then listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, a Noteholder may elect to cancel all or a portion of the unpaid principal and interest outstanding thereunder as payment of an equivalent amount due to the Company in connection with (i) the exercise by the Noteholder of any warrant to purchase the Company’s common stock and/or (ii) the purchase of securities issued by the Company in a future financing transaction in which the Noteholder participates.

 

The Warrants may be exercised at any time prior to March 29, 2021; provided, however, that if a Note is repaid prior to March 29, 2019, then the expiry date of the related Warrant is subject to acceleration. The exercise price of the Warrants, $5.30 per share, is payable in cash or via cancellation of indebtedness outstanding under the Notes as described above. The Warrants are non-transferable. 

 

The issuance and sale of the Notes and Warrants was completed pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

 

On March 29, 2018, the Company issued a press release regarding the transactions described above. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02 Financial Statements and Exhibits

 

On March 25, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, granted a stock option award to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey Biunno, pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. Mr. Biunno received options to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.30 per share. The award will become vested and exercisable in 48 equal monthly installments based on Mr. Biunno’s continued employment with the Company over a four-year term commencing October 31, 2017.
