Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Warrant Extensions

 

As previously reported on January 6, 2005, RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into agreements with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) with respect to the sale of an aggregate of approximately $5.86 million of the Company’s common stock in a private placement transaction (the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering, the Company also issued warrants to the Investors to purchase over a period of three years up to an aggregate of 451,270 shares of its common stock at $4.06 per share pursuant to warrant agreements (the “Investor Warrants”).  The Investor Warrants were set to expire between December 31, 2007 and January 7, 2008.  In addition, the Company also issued to ThinkEquity Partners L.L.C. (“ThinkEquity” and, along with the Investors, the “Warrant Holders”), which acted as placement agent in connection with the Offering, a warrant to purchase over a period of three years up to an aggregate of 11,539 shares of its common stock at $4.05 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrant” and, along with the Investor Warrants, the “Warrants”). Copies of the Warrants were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, filed on January 6, 2005.  None of these Warrants has been exercised to date.  Effective as of December 31, 2007, the Company amended the terms of the Warrants to extend the expiration date of each Warrant to March 31, 2008 and to eliminate the cashless exercise provisions of these Warrants.  The Company may, but is under no obligation to, extend the expiration of these Warrants further.  None of the Warrant Holders paid any additional consideration for these amendments.  A copy of the form of amendment to the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
