This Form 8-K and other reports filed by GeoVax Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to the Company’s industry, operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
As previously reported, on February 25, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers identified therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) providing for the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of an aggregate of up to 1,000 shares of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) and related warrants for gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1.0 million, to be funded at up to three different closings.
The first closing, which was consummated promptly after the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, involved the issuance of 500 Preferred Shares and related warrants in exchange for the payment by the Purchasers of $250,000 in the aggregate, plus the cancellation by them of promissory notes due to them from the Company in the aggregate amount of $250,000. The Company issued Series I Warrants (“Warrants”), to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 100% of the Conversion Shares underlying the Preferred Shares issued to such Purchaser for cash at the first closing, representing aggregate rights to acquire up to 33,334 shares of Common Stock.
On April 26, 2019, the Company and the Purchasers consummated the second closing. At the second closing the Company exercised its right to sell the Purchasers (i) an aggregate of 250 Preferred Shares and (ii) related warrants (for the purchase of 33,334 shares of our common stock) for $250,000.
On June 19, 2019, the Company and the Purchasers consummated the third closing. At the third closing the Company exercised its right to sell the Purchasers (i) an aggregate of 250 Preferred Shares and (ii) related warrants (for the purchase of 33,334 shares of our common stock) for $250,000. There are now 1,000 outstanding Preferred Shares.
The Preferred Shares and Warrants were offered and sold in the third closing pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a) (2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Purchasers are accredited investors which have previously acquired the Company’s equity securities and purchased the securities as an investment in a private placement that did not involve a general solicitation. The shares to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
