Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     Marshall Edwards, Inc. (“Marshall Edwards”) entered into a Securities Subscription Agreement with certain accredited investors dated as of August 1, 2007, for an approximately $16.4 million private placement consisting of 5,464,001 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. The investors in the transaction also received a warrant to purchase an additional 4 shares of common stock for every block of 10 shares of common stock purchased. Marshall Edwards also issued 62,091 warrants to Blue Trading, LLC, which acted as the placement agent in the private placement, as part of the placement fee. All of the warrants are exercisable beginning February 6, 2008 and ending on August 6, 2012. The exercise price of the warrants is $3.60. Marshall Edwards has entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors party to the Securities Subscription Agreement and thereby agreed to register the common stock and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants sold pursuant to the Securities Subscription Agreement for resale thereunder. In addition, Marshall Edwards has issued a notice of termination effectuating the immediate termination upon consummation of the private placement of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2006, by and between Marshall Edwards and Cornell Capital Partners, LP, as amended.

     The securities offered and sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were sold in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Each of the investors represented to Marshall Edwards that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

     Marshall Edwards issued a press release announcing this transaction on August 6, 2007. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

     The foregoing description of the Securities Subscription Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Form of Warrant Agreement between Marshall Edwards and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and the Form of Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto, respectively, and each such exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

This description does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The common stock and warrants sold in the offering have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
