On November 9, 2012, TG Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between the Company and LFB Biotechnologies S.A.S. (“LFB”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, LFB agreed to exchange its 7,500,000 shares of the common stock of TG Biologics, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (which it had acquired pursuant to that certain Exclusive License Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2012, by and between the Company and LFB (the “License Agreement”)), for 5,000,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock at a purchase price of US $0.001 per share. Further, upon the occurrence of certain financing conditions, the Agreement requires LFB to purchase at least $750,000 in additional shares of Company Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to the then current Market Price (as defined therein). The Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. They are both incorporated herein by reference.

The issuance and sale of the securities in the private placement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. We have furnished certain information to LFB as required by Regulation D, and LFB has provided certain representations to us evidencing that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D. We have not engaged in general solicitation or advertising with regard to the private placement and have not offered securities to the public in connection with the private placement.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On November 9, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Yann Echelard to the Board pursuant to that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2012, as amended on May 11th, May 21st and June 4th, 2012, by and between the Company and LFB.
