Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 12, 2006, registrant entered into a Loan Agreement with Chopin Opus One, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“Chopin”). The General Partner of Chopin is Chopin Holdings, Ltd., whose Managing Director is Dr. Richard Opara, the Chairman of registrant’s Board of Directors and Chairman of Avantogen Limited, registrant’s principal shareholder. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Chopin agreed to lend registrant $1 Million (the “Loan”). The Loan, which is evidenced by registrant’s Secured Promissory Note dated October 12, 2006 (the “Note”), bears interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is due December 31, 2006. The Note is secured by a first priority security interest on all of registrant’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement dated October 12, 2006 by and between registrant and Chopin (the “Security Agreement”).

As an inducement to Chopin to provide the Loan, registrant issued to Chopin warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of registrant’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.60 per share (equal to 120% of the average of the closing prices of the Shares on days that Shares traded during the thirty (30) day period prior to October 12, 2006). The Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after December 31, 2006 and until October 12, 2011 and are subject to anti-dilution protection if registrant issues any additional Shares during the six (6) month period after the issuance of the Warrants for a consideration per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants (other than Shares issued or issuable to employees, directors and consultants under Board approved stock option, restricted stock or other compensation plans and other than shares issued or issuable pursuant to securities outstanding on the date of the Warrants). The Warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

The Loan Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and the Warrants are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and the Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents.
