Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 5, 2021, Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with ST Biosciences, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“STB”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of STB’s right, title and interest in and to all of STB’s assets, including intellectual property assets, relating to Mioxal®, a nutraceutical complex composed of essential amino acids, natural coenzymes and minerals. As consideration for the Acquisition and upon consummation thereof, the Company agreed to issue 19,831,623 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to STB., which represents approximately 70% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. The consummation of the Acquisition is subject to the contingencies contained in the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2021, by and between the Company and STB (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).
The foregoing description of the Acquisition is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On October 28, 2021, the Company closed the second tranche of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock investment by Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), issuing an additional 637,628 shares of its Series B-1 Preferred Stock to LPC at a price per share of $0.742245 or $500,000.00 in the aggregate. The transaction was executed pursuant to that certain Series B-1 Purchase Agreement between the Company and LPC (the “Series B-1 Purchase Agreement”) which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2021 (the “September Current Report”).
The issuance of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
The foregoing description of the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the September Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
