Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Securities Purchase Agreement
On
January 30, 2018, Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors ( the
“Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to
sell, and the Investors agreed to purchase from the Company, an
aggregate of 1,714,324 shares (the “Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $17.80
per share, for total gross proceeds of approximately $30.5 million
(the “Private Placement”). The closing of
the Private Placement is expected to occur upon completion of
customary closing conditions (the
“Closing”).
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Investors have the right to nominate
one director to the board of directors of the Company to stand for
election at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Registration Rights Agreement
In
connection with the Private Placement, the Company and the
Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the
Company has agreed, subject to certain exceptions set forth
therein, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on Form S-3 within 30 days of the Closing
in order to cover the resale of the Shares. The Company has also
agreed, among other things, to provide the Investors with piggyback
registration rights (subject to certain conditions), indemnify the
selling holders under the registration statement from certain
liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses (excluding
underwriting discounts and selling commissions) incident to the
Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement.
The
foregoing description of the Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of these agreements, forms
of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by
reference.
The
issuance of the Shares was made in reliance on the exemption from
registration provided by Regulation D, Regulation S and Section
4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).
The
securities sold and issued in connection with the Purchase
Agreement are not registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements.
The
foregoing description of the transaction is only a summary and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the transaction documents
entered into in connection with the Private Placement, copies of
which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The
information called for by this item is contained in Item 1.01,
