Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 13, 2019 a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego against Zander Therapeutics, Inc. ("Company") , the Company's Chairman, Regen Biopharma, Inc ("Regen"), and Does 1-50 by ChemDiv, Inc. ("Plaintiff") alleging Breach of Contract, Unfair Business Practices under the California Business and Professions Code, and Bad Faith Denial of a Contract ( alleged solely against Regen and DOE defendants) stemming from contract research work performed by the Plaintiff for the Company and contract research performed by the Plaintiff for Regen. The Plaintiff is also seeking a declaration from the court that the Plaintiff retains full and complete ownership, title, use, and all rights without any limits to the work, tangible property, intellectual property, and any other product or by-product of the work performed by Plaintiff for the Company and Regen. The action arises from approximately $1.2 million dollars of unpaid invoices ("Unpaid Invoices") due and payable to the Plaintiff.

The outcome of this legal proceeding may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and operations and may also result in loss of control by the Company of intellectual property controlled by the Company.

The Company and Regen are under common control. David Koos serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Regen and the Company. Todd S. Caven serves as Chief Financial Officer and is a Director of Regen and the Company.
