Private Placement of Convertible Notes
On October 19, 2012, RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
“Company”) completed a private placement of convertible notes (the “Notes”) with four (4) accredited investors
(each, an “Investor,” collectively, the “Investors”), raising an aggregate of $300,000 in gross proceeds. The
Notes were issued pursuant to a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Security Purchase Agreement”),
between the Company and the Investors, the full text of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K. The
full text of the form of Convertible Promissory Note is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K. The full text of the form
of Warrant is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2 to this Form 8-K.
Convertible Promissory Notes.
The key terms
of the Notes are summarized below. The Notes will pay interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, mature twenty-four
(24) months after their date of issuance and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of fifteen cents
($0.15) per share (subject to adjustment as described in the Notes) at any time prior to repayment, at the election of the Investor. In
the aggregate, the Notes are initially convertible into up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock, excluding
interest.
At any time prior to maturity of the Notes, with the consent
of the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes, we may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus unpaid
accrued interest without penalty. Upon the commission of any act of bankruptcy by the Company, the execution by the
Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against the Company of a petition in bankruptcy
or any petition for relief under the federal bankruptcy act or the continuation of such petition without dismissal for a period
of ninety (90) days or more, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of the property or assets of the Company,
the outstanding principal and all accrued interest on the Notes will accelerate and automatically become immediately due and payable.
Warrants
. In connection with the issuance
of the Notes the Company also issued warrants to each Investor. The warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of 400,000
shares of Company common stock with an exercise price of fifteen cents ($0.15) per share for a period of five years.
Investors
. The Investors, and the principal amount of
their respective Notes and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of their respective warrants, are as set forth

Use of Proceeds.
We intend to use the
proceeds from the offering to pay certain accrued liabilities and for working capital, operating expenses and general
corporate purposes. Based on current estimates, we anticipate that our existing financial resources, including the
net proceeds from this offering, will be adequate to continue to conduct our business into the first quarter of
2013. We will need to raise additional capital prior to the maturity date to repay the Notes and to continue
operating our business.
Securities Act Exemption.
The offering was
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in accordance with Section
4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder as an offering made solely to “accredited investors”
as defined under the Securities Act. The Company obtained representations and warranties from the Investors in the Security
Purchase Agreement to support the Company’s reliance on this exemption.
The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Notes, warrants
and the Security Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text
of these documents filed as exhibits hereto which are incorporated herein by reference.
