Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 9, 2012, the Registrant entered
into an agreement with Toucan Partners LLC (“Toucan”), for financing of up to $2.25 million. Toucan provided the first
$1.5 million of the funding at the time of execution, and will provide further funding when certain consents are obtained. In
consideration of the financing, the Registrant issued to Toucan a convertible promissory note (the “Note”). The Note
bears an Original Issue Discount (OID) of ten percent. The Note is payable on demand, with fourteen days’ prior notice.
The Note is convertible at any time at a five percent discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion.
The Note is unsecured, but will become secured if the Registrant enters into any secured financing or encumbrance upon its assets
while any portion of the Note remains outstanding or if there is an event of default under the Note. Pursuant to the Note, the
Registrant also issued to Toucan warrants to purchase shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share,
comprising one hundred percent warrant coverage of the repayment amount under the Note. The exercise price of the warrants will
be $0.40 per share if the Registrant can obtain a waiver of any applicable anti-dilution provisions. If such waiver is not obtained,
the exercise price of the warrants will be $0.57 per share, and the warrant coverage will be correspondingly adjusted.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial
Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
For
a description of the obligations entered into in connection therewith, please see Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K,
which discussion is incorporated herein by reference
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The securities described in Item 1.01 above
were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (“Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The agreements executed in connection
with this sale contain representations to support the Registrant’s reasonable belief that the investor had access to information
concerning the Registrant’s operations and financial condition, the investor acquired the securities for their own account
and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption
from registration, and that the investor was sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and was an
“accredited investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the issuances did not involve
any public offering; the Registrant made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the investor;
the Registrant obtained representations from the investor regarding its investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the
investor either received or had access to adequate information about the Registrant in order to make an informed investment decision.
At the time of their issuance, the securities will be deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act, and
the certificates representing the securities shall bear legends to that effect. The securities may not be resold or offered in
the United States without registration or an exemption from registration.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
