Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

From April 19, 2016 through May 2, 2016, HedgePath Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted a series of closings (the “Closings”) of its previously announced private placement offering to accredited investors (the “Offering”) of the Company’s Units (as defined below) for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,419,000. The Closings are part of a “best efforts” private placement offering of up to $5,500,000 for which the Company had its first closing on April 11, 2016.

In connection with the Closings, the Company sold an aggregate of 14,190,000 Units in the Closings at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit (a “Unit”) consists of: (i) one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share (the “Warrants”). No actual Units were issued, and each investor will receive shares of Common Stock and Warrants only.

In connection with the Closings, the Company entered into definitive securities purchase agreements with and issued Warrants to each of the investors. The form of securities purchase agreement and Warrant are attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2016 as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively.

Since commencement of the Offering, the Company has sold an aggregate of 17,690,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,769,000.

The securities issued in the Offering as described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and sales were made pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506(c) of Regulation D (“Reg. D”) promulgated under the Securities Act because, among other things, the investors are “accredited investors” (as defined under Reg. D), the investors purchased the securities for investment purposes only and not for resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities sold and verify the accredited investor status of the investors.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The securities described herein have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or any state thereof absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
