Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 22, 2008, AgFeed Industries, Inc. (the "Company") entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with a group of 14 institutional investors (collectively, the “Investors”) in connection with a registered direct offering of securities providing for the issuance of 1,322,836 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at price of $19.05 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 25,200,025.80.

The Common Stock for the registered offering was issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Commission on April 24, 2008, in connection with a shelf takedown from the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-148386) which was declared effective by the Commission on January 11, 2008.

The closing under the Securities Purchase Agreements took place on April 24, 2008. The placement agent for the sale of 797,901 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $15,200,014.05 was Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, which received a fee of $638,400.59 (4.2% of the gross proceeds). Additionally, the Company paid a finders fee of $350,000 to Advantage Consultants Limited in connection with the offering.

The Securities Purchase Agreements contain representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and the Investors which are typical for transactions of this type.

This summary is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Readers should review those forms of agreement for a more complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

The provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreements, including without limitation the representations and warranties contained therein, are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
