Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On January 21, 2019, Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), exchanged a currently outstanding warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock exercisable at a per share price of $3.75, with a cashless exercise feature, exercisable for a period of five years from its date of issuance for a new warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.75, with a cashless exercise feature allowing for a maximum issuance of 125,000 shares of common stock upon a cashless exercise, exercisable until April 17, 2019. Subsequent to the exchange, the warrant holder exercised the new warrant in full, retiring the warrant. The Company issued the new warrant and the shares of common stock upon exercise of the new warrant in reliance on the exemption from registration provided for under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as the issuance was made to an existing security holder, there was no additional consideration paid for the new warrant or the shares of common stock and no commission or other remuneration was paid.

  

In addition, on November 26, 2018 and December 15, 2018, the Company issued 100,000 and 18,750 shares of common stock, respectively, to two consultants in consideration of strategic management consulting services and investor relations services to be rendered to the Company. Based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to issuance of $1.33 and $3.80, respectively, the value of the shares issued was $133,000 and $71,250, respectively. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof, as a transaction not involving a public offering. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access to information provided by the Company and to information about the Company. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.  

 

On January 24, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has received $1.2 million in capital through the voluntary exercise of previously outstanding warrants to purchase 243,100 shares of its common stock and that 125,000 shares of its common stock were issued as part of the cashless exercise of warrants.

 

The information regarding the warrant exchange and issuances of common stock upon exercise of the warrant as set forth under Item 3.02 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01.
