Item 8.01. Other Events
On February 9, 2009, TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (“TheraCour”), the largest single shareholder of NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Registrant"), adopted a written trading plan pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1, under which it will sell up to 1,800,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock over a one year period. TheraCour performs subcontract work for the production, chemical characterization, and scale-up of the nanoviricides drug candidates the Registrant uses. Anil Diwan, the Chairman, President and founder of the Registrant, is the principal shareholder, officer and director of TheraCour. TheraCour adopted the 10b5-1 plan to fund the improvement of its laboratory facilities, the purchase of analytical equipment and the costs of intellectual property (patent) protection. The expansion of TheraCour’s laboratory facilities may enable production of larger quantities utilized by TheraCour's customers, including those drug candidates that will be needed for the Registrant's upcoming studies
