ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 13, 2007, the Registrant entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the
Share Purchase Agreement
)
made as of November 26, 2007 with ARP BioMed, Ltd. (
ARP
).
The
Share Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to fulfillment of certain closing
conditions, including the receipt of an Israeli tax ruling, ARP will sell to
the Registrant 12.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Registrants
subsidiary, GammaCan, Ltd. (the
Subsidiary
),
such that at closing, the Registrant will own 100% of the issued and outstanding
shares of the Subsidiary. In consideration for such sale, the Registrant agreed
to issue to ARP, at closing, 2,697,535 shares of its common stock, a warrant
to acquire 1,123,973 shares of its common stock and an additional warrant to
acquire 449,589 shares of its common stock.
Both warrants are exercisable for five years at an exercise price equal to the average last sales price of the Registrants common stock during the sixty trading days prior to
November 26, 2007. The warrants are subject to adjustment for, among other things, stock splits, stock dividends, distributions and reclassifications. In the case of the warrant to acquire 1,123,973 shares, if there is a change of control (as
defined therein), then subject to certain restrictions, the warrant shall be deemed exercised in full and no exercise price shall be payable by the holder.
In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, ARP and the Subsidiary agreed to enter into an amendment of the Sale of Intellectual Property Agreement originally entered into by the
Subsidiary and ARP on June 11, 2004, which amendment specifically delineates clarity of title and related issues to certain intellectual property sold under the original Sale of Intellectual Property Agreement.
At
closing, the Registrant and ARP also agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement
whereby ARP agreed not to effect any transfer of any of the securities (and any
underlying securities) to be issued under the Share Purchase Agreement until
May 26, 2009 unless there is a change of control (as defined therein) or the
transfer is to a permitted transferee. Following such date, ARP will be permitted
to sell up to one-sixth of the locked-up securities over the following six months
such that at the end of such six month period (twenty-four months following closing),
the locked-up securities will no longer be subject to a lock-up.
In
addition, at closing, the Registrant and ARP agreed to enter into a Registration
Rights Agreement covering the resale of the shares issued by the Registrant under
the Share Purchase Agreement and the shares underlying both warrants (collectively,
the
Registrable Securities
).
Under such registration rights agreement, in the event that the holder is unable
to resell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144(k), the Registrant is required
to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities
by 60 days following the Key Date (as defined therein).
Mr. Yair Aloni, a member of our board of directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of ARP and Professor Yehuda Shoenfeld, M.D., our Chief Scientist of the Subsidiary, is an advisor to
ARP.
The foregoing description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the transaction documents attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
