Item 1.01   Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 15, 2011, Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the “Company” or “Omni Bio”) acquired a 25% equity ownership of BioMimetix, Inc. (“BioMimetix”) for cash consideration of $2,000,000 (the “Investment”). Concurrent with the Investment, Duke University entered into an exclusive licensing arrangement with BioMimetix (the “Duke License”). BioMimetix is a recently formed biopharmaceutical corporation and, as the exclusive licensee of the Duke License, intends to develop a new class of patented compounds for the treatment of various disease and health care treatment classifications including radiation toxicity during the treatment of cancer using radiation therapy.
Dr. James Crapo, Omni Bio’s Chief Executive Officer, is the founder and a significant shareholder of BioMimetix and will also serve as its CEO and as a director.
Under the terms of the BioMimetix stockholders’ agreement, Omni Bio has the right to appoint one individual, reasonably acceptable to Dr. Crapo, to serve on BioMimetix’s board of directors. In addition, Omni Bio received certain preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of BioMimetix and other protective rights relating to the Investment.
In addition to Omni Bio’s initial 25% equity ownership in BioMimetix, it was issued a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire up to an additional 15% equity ownership interest in BioMimetix for an additional $2,000,000. The Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, and if in part, the Company’s fully-diluted equity ownership will be calculated as follows: (Cash Consideration Paid multiplied by 15% divided by $2,000,000) plus 25%. The Warrant is immediately exercisable and expires on July 15, 2012.
The above description of the Investment, stockholders’ agreement and the Warrant are summaries only and are qualified by reference to the stock purchase agreement, stockholder’s agreement and Warrant filed as exhibits hereto.
Item 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
See Item 1.01.
Item 5.02   Departures of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Also on July 15, 2011 and as a requirement for the Investment, Omni Bio executed an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Dr. Crapo that is consistent with the terms previously disclosed upon his appointment as Omni Bio’s CEO on March 1, 2011. The Employment Agreement additionally places restrictions on Dr. Crapo in raising additional capital for BioMimetix until the earlier of: (1) Omni Bio raising a total of $7 million, which is inclusive of the $3.5 million raised to date from Omni Bio’s 2011 private placement offering; (2) Omni Bio executing an agreement with a strategic partner resulting in cash payments made to Omni Bio; (3) July 15, 2012; or (4) permission of the Omni Bio’s board of directors.

Exhibit 10.1
STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT
This Stockholders’ Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of July 15, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and among BioMimetix Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Investor”), and the individuals listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Common Holders” and, collectively with the Investors, the “Stockholders”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Company and Investor have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to sell to Investor, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”). In connection with the purchase by Investor of the Common Stock, the Company agreed to grant to Investor certain rights set forth in greater detail herein.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations set forth below, the Company, the Investor and the Common Holders agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Preemptive Rights.
(a) The Company hereby grants to Investor, the preemptive right to purchase its pro rata share of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 1(b) below) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement. Investor’s pro rata share, for purposes of this Section 1, is equal to the ratio of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Investor immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (assuming exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants, directly or indirectly, into Common Stock held by Investor) to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by all stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (assuming exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants, directly or indirectly, into Common Stock held by all stockholders of the Company).
(b) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company after the Effective Date, other than (i) the following shares of Common Stock and (ii) shares of Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to the following Options and Convertible Securities:
(i) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock Shares;
(ii) shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock;
(iii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Nonstatutory Stock Option entitling James Crapo to purchase up to 40,000 shares of Common Stock;
(iv) up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock or Options issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”);

 

 


 

(v) shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities actually issued upon the exercise of Options or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security; or
(vi) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Warrant dated the date hereof and issued to Investor.
(c) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(ii) “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options.
(d) Investor Notice and Participation Procedures.
(i) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, it shall give Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of Additional Shares of Common Stock, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Investor shall have ten (10) days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase Investor’s pro rata share of such Additional Shares of Common Stock for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and stating therein the quantity of Additional Shares of Common Stock to be purchased.
(ii) In the event Investor fails to exercise fully the preemptive right within said ten-day period (the “Election Period”), the Company shall have 180 days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement to sell that portion of the Additional Shares of Common Stock with respect to which Investor’s right of first refusal option was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to Investor delivered pursuant to this Section 1. In the event the Company has not sold or agreed to sell such Additional Shares of Common Stock within such 180-day period following the Election Period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Additional Shares of Common Stock, without first again offering such securities to Investor in the manner provided herein.

2. Voting Rights. At any time when Investor owns at least 250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Common (subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and other similar events), the Company shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least 76% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for any vote taken or consent given on or before July 15, 2012 and the holders of at least 61% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for any vote taken or consent given after July 15, 2012, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class:
(a) sell all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company, whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise, or enter into an exclusive worldwide license agreement for all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(b) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company, or consent to any of the foregoing.
3. Information Rights. The Company shall deliver to Investor as long as Investor owns at least 250,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and other similar events) the following:
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company: (i) an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such year; (ii) unaudited statements of income and of cash flows for such year; and (iii) an unaudited statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such year; and
(b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, unaudited statements of income and of cash flows for such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter.
If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and all such consolidated subsidiaries. The Company will provide access to its books and records at all reasonable times to Investor and its auditors in order for Investor to prepare its own financial statements and to file any reports required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any other regulatory agency. The Company will cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably possible to provide Investor with the financial and other information necessary for Investor to timely comply with its reporting obligations to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies.
4. Election of Board of Directors.
(a) Agreement to Vote.

(b) Board Size. Notwithstanding any contrary or inconsistent provision of the bylaws of the Company (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”), each of the Stockholders shall vote all of its shares of capital stock (or give its Written Consent) to ensure that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall have no more than three (3) members, unless otherwise approved by each of the Directors set forth in Section 4(c) below.
(c) Election of the Directors. On all matters relating to the election of the members of the Board, each of the Stockholders shall vote at all regular or special meetings of Stockholders (or by Written Consent) at which directors are to be elected all of its or his shares of the capital stock of the Company so as always to elect the following as directors of the Company:

(iii) Any additional directors shall be mutually acceptable to the Crapo Designee and the Omni Bio Designee.
(d) Removal. Any director of the Company may be removed from the Board in the manner allowed by law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Bylaws, but with respect to any director designated pursuant to Section 4(c) above, only upon the vote or written consent of the Stockholder entitled to designate such director or a determination by the Company’s legal counsel or outside legal counsel appointed by the Board that “Cause” exists for the removal of such director. “Cause” shall mean the commission by the director of an act or acts constituting any of the following: (a) dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement or gross negligence in connection with the director’s duties as an employee or director of the Company; (b) material breach of any non-disclosure, non-competition or non-solicitation agreement with the Company; (c) misappropriation of a business opportunity of the Company; (d) conduct (whether occurring prior to or after commencement of employment or service as a director) that constitutes a crime involving moral turpitude or conviction of, or pleading of nolo contendre to, a felony; or (e) breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the Company.

(f) Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Section 4 by any party, that this Section 4 shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 4 shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order without a requirement of posting bond. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.
(g) Grant of Proxy.

5. Confidentiality. Investor agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 4 by Investor), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by Investor without use of the Company’s confidential information or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to Investor by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that Investor may disclose confidential information: (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company; (ii) to any affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Investor informs such person that such information is confidential and directs such person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iii) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that Investor promptly notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.

The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or group of employees intend to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of employees.

If the Warrant is exercised in part, then the number of Shares to be owned by the Holder following such exercise (including the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the Holder as of the date hereof) will be calculated based on the following ownership percentage of the Company on a Fully Diluted Basis: (Exercise Price x 15%) + 25% $2,000,000
“Fully Diluted Basisshall mean the assumption that all outstanding options, warrants or other convertible securities or instruments or other rights to acquire Common Stock or any other existing or future classes of capital stock have been exercised or converted, as applicable, in full, regardless of whether any such options, warrants, convertible securities or instruments or other rights are then vested or exercisable or convertible in accordance with their terms. For purposes of clarity, the 250,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith shall be included in the calculation of Holder’s equity ownership in the Company.
(b) Exercise Price. The purchase price for all of the Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1 shall be $2,000,000.00 if the Warrant is exercised in whole or such lesser amount as determined by the Holder if the Warrant is exercised in part. Such purchase price, as adjusted from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.”
Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 15, 2012 (the “Exercise Period”).

 

 


 

3. Method of Exercise.
(a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and
(ii) the payment to the Company of $2,000,000.00 if the Warrant is exercised in whole or such lesser amount determined by the Holder if the Warrant is exercised in part.
(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Shares equal to the number of such Shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3(a) above.
4. Covenants of the Company.
(a) Covenants as to Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
(b) No Impairment. Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder, or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof the Company will not, by amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment. During the term of this Warrant, the Company will not issue any warrant with terms similar to the terms of this Warrant and will not authorize or issue any capital stock with rights or preferences superior to those of the Common Stock.
(c) Reservation of Shares. A sufficient number of shares of Common Stock shall be reserved at all time by the Company in order to effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Company promptly will take all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

This letter outlines the terms of your employment relationship with Omni, and supersedes and replaces the February 23rd letter in its entirety.
This letter confirms the Board’s approval of your compensation as CEO of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Omni” or “Company”).
Below is a summary of certain other terms of your employment with Omni.
     
Start date:
  March 1, 2011

Cash Compensation:
  $10,000 per month salary, plus $2,000 allowance per month for health insurance and other fringe benefits.
 
   
Confidentiality Agreement:
  In connection with the execution of this letter, as a condition of your employment with Omni, you will sign the Confidentiality and Inventions Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).
 
   
At-Will Employment:
  Your employment with the Company is not for a specific period of time. Rather, your employment with the Company is “at will,” meaning that it could be terminated at any time, for any or no reason, at the option of either you or the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that it shall not terminate you in bad faith in order to avoid payment of any Incentive Bonus (as defined below. You also should understand that the compensation and benefits described in this letter are subject to change during your employment at the discretion of the Company.
 
   
Company Policies:
  You are expected to follow all applicable policies and procedures adopted by the Company from time to time, including without limitation policies relating to business ethics, conflict of interest, non-discrimination, confidentiality and protection of trade secrets.

 


 

     
Restricted Stock Units:
  300,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), vesting over three years as follows: 100,000 as of March 1, 2012, 100,000 as of March 1, 2013 and 100,000 as of March 1, 2014. Automatic vesting of all unvested RSUs upon “change of control.” Details regarding this restricted stock unit grant will be provided to you in a separate RSU agreement.
 
   
Restrictions:
  The Board recognizes that you will also be the chief executive officer of BioMimetix Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“BioMimetix”) and acknowledges that certain corporate opportunity and conflict of interest situations may arise out of such role. Therefore, you agree that you will not assist or participate in raising additional capital for BioMimetix until the earlier of: (1) the Company raising a total of $7 million; (2) 12 months from the date of the Company’s initial investment in BioMimetix; (3) the Company executing an agreement with a strategic partner resulting in payments made to the Company; or (4) permission of the Board.
 
   
Incentive Bonus:
  You will be eligible to receive an incentive bonus (the “Incentive Bonus”) in connection with the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (as defined below), so long as either (i) you have been continuously employed by the Company from your Start Date through the effective date of the Liquidity Event, or (ii) the Liquidity Event occurs with one or more parties introduced by you to the Company for purposes of a Liquidity Event prior to 12 months from the effective date of termination of your services other than for Cause (as defined below) (the “Tail Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, if (1) your employment with the Company terminates other than for Cause prior to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event or (2) the Liquidity Event occurs after the expiration of the Tail Period, you will not be entitled to receive payment of any Incentive Bonus.
Bonus Calculation and Payment. The Incentive Bonus amount payable to you in connection with the occurrence of a Liquidity Event will be equal to the Net Proceeds (defined below) multiplied by the Applicable Percentage (defined below). Subject to the paragraph below dealing with escrows and hold-backs, any Incentive Bonus payable hereunder will be paid to you in a single lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable after the occurrence of the Liquidity Event giving rise to such payment, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third calendar month after the close of the calendar year in which the Liquidity Event occurred. Payment of any Incentive Bonus hereunder will be made from the general assets of the Company.
Definitions. The following definitions will apply for purposes of this Agreement.

 

2


 

(a)   Applicable Percentage” means the percentage specified in the table below corresponding to the amount of Net Proceeds received in connection with a Liquidity Event:
         
Applicable    
Percentage   Net Proceeds
       
 
  1.0 %  
Less than or equal to $100 million
       
 
  1.5 %  
Greater than $100 million, less than or equal to $200 million
       
 
  2.0 %  
Greater than $200 million, less than or equal to $300 million
       
 
  3.0 %  
Greater than $300 million
(b) “Cause” means, except to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, a finding by the Board that the you (i) have breached the terms of your employment or service agreement with the Company, (ii) has engaged in disloyalty to the Company, including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of your employment or service, (iii) have disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of the Company to persons not entitled to receive such information or (iv) have engaged in such other behavior detrimental to the interests of the Company as the Board determines.
(c) “Liquidity Event” means the consummation of:
  (1)   the sale (including in one or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets to a person or a group of persons acting in concert (other than a person or group affiliated with the Company);
 
  (2)   the sale or transfer (including in one or a series of related transactions) to a person or a group of persons acting in concert (other than a person or group affiliated with the Company) of Company equity securities representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding equity securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
 
  (3)   the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, unless immediately following such transaction, all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners of the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately before the transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities (or comparable equity interests) of the surviving or resulting entity (or its parent entity); or
 
  (4)   the sale (including in one or a series of related transactions) of the Company’s intellectual property related to the use of the FDA approved drug Alpha-1 Antitrypsin to a person or a group of persons acting in concert (other than a person or group affiliated with the Company). Net Proceeds will be aggregated over any series of applicable transactions, and any difference due to an increase in the Applicable Percentage as a result of such aggregation will be paid in connection with the most recent transaction.

By way of illustration for (4), if the Company sells applicable intellectual property in a transaction with Net Proceeds of $50 million, assuming you are eligible to receive an Incentive Bonus for the transaction, the Applicable Percentage would be 1% and you would receive an Incentive Bonus of $0.5 million. If the Company subsequently sells other applicable intellectual property in a second transaction with Net Proceeds of $75 million, then, assuming you are eligible to receive an Incentive Bonus for this transaction, the Applicable Percentage would be 1.5% (instead of 1%) on the aggregate Net Proceeds of $125 million, and the aggregate Incentive Bonus would be $1.875 million. Therefore, in connection with the second transaction, you would receive an Incentive Bonus of $1.375 million.
(d)   Net Proceeds” means the fair market value, as of the date of the Liquidity Event and as determined in good faith by the Board, of the aggregate consideration (whether cash, notes, stock or other securities) actually received by the Company or its stockholders as a result of the Liquidity Event, less all transaction fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Liquidity Event, including legal, accounting and investment banking fees.
Escrow or Hold-Back. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of the proceeds from a Liquidity Event are deposited into an escrow account (whether established by the Company or any purchaser or acquirer) or are subject to a hold-back by the purchaser or acquirer for distribution upon the occurrence or satisfaction of any event, that portion of the proceeds shall be included in calculating Net Proceeds, but a comparable portion of the incentive bonus amount shall be withheld and released to you only as and when that portion of the Liquidity Event proceeds are released from any escrow or hold-back arrangement.
Term of Bonus Arrangement. This Incentive Bonus arrangement will remain in effect until the earlier of (i) until your employment by the Company is terminated for Cause or (ii) until the expiration of the Tail Period, if any. The Company may modify this Incentive Bonus arrangement if any such modification is, in the discretion of the Company, necessary or desirable to ensure the compliance of this arrangement with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, including Section 409A thereof, or any other applicable law or regulation.
Successors. All obligations of the Company under this Incentive Bonus arrangement will be binding upon any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of merger, consolidation, purchase of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, or otherwise.
Please acknowledge and accept the terms of your employment as outlined above by countersigning below.
The Board is extremely excited about having you join our team.
Sincerely,
Vicki Barone
Chairperson
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc.
Agreed to:

Exhibit 99.1

Omni Bio Acquires 25% of BioMimetix Pharmaceutical for $2,000,000
Leading Academic Medical Center Executes Exclusive Licensing Agreement with BioMimetix to Develop New Class of Patented Compounds to Treat Radiation Toxicity

Denver, CO, July 21, 2011 – Omni Bio Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Omni Bio”) (OTC Bulletin Board: OMBP.ob) today announced it has acquired a 25% equity ownership of BioMimetix, Inc. (“BioMimetix”) for $2,000,000 in cash. Concurrent with Omni Bio’s investment in BioMimetix, Duke University entered into an exclusive licensing arrangement with BioMimetix (the “Duke License”). BioMimetix is a recently formed biopharmaceutical corporation and, as the exclusive licensee of the Duke License, intends to develop a new class of patented compounds for the treatment of various disease and health care treatment classifications including radiation toxicity incurred during the treatment of cancer.

The American Society for Radiation Oncology estimates that approximately 1,000,000 patients undergo radiation therapy treatments annually in the U.S. Consequently, based on what Omni Bio believes are conservative pricing estimates of $5,000 per patient for radio-protective drug treatment, the total addressable market in the U.S could be as high as $5.0 billion. Omni Bio believes that the aggregate of the markets in Europe, Japan, and Australia could equal the size of the U.S. market estimates.

Dr. James Crapo, CEO of Omni Bio, commented, “We are extremely excited about the commercial possibilities that this investment in BioMimetix provides for Omni Bio. The size of the medical markets that BioMimetix has to potentially commercialize are extremely large and complement those that Omni Bio is currently targeting through its licenses for the treatment of certain inflammatory, cellular transplantation, bacterial and viral disorders using Alpha-1 antitrypsin (“AAT”). With the Duke License, BioMimetix will have the ability to develop new compounds under an issued patent with a long patent life. As an equity owner in BioMimetix, Omni Bio now has a critical second front for commercialization in the biopharma space and increasing shareholder value with a relatively small initial investment.”

Vicki Barone, Chairperson of Omni Bio’s board of directors, added, “We are very pleased by our Board’s decision to make an investment that it believes will greatly expand our potential commercial applications. Dr. Crapo’s 20 plus years of research and development in BioMimetix’s anti-oxidant compounds was a driving force supporting the Board’s decision. Our private placement financings completed during June of this year, which totaled $3.5 million, will allow us to move forward quickly with the medical combination of Omni Bio’s and BioMimetix’s licensed IP.”

In addition to Omni Bio’s initial 25% equity ownership in BioMimetix, Omni Bio was issued a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire up to an additional 15% equity ownership interest in BioMimetix for an additional $2,000,000. The Warrant is exercisable immediately, may be exercised in whole or in part and expires on July 15, 2012.
