This Form 8-K and other reports filed by GeoVax Labs, Inc.

Item 1.01            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 7, 2017, we entered into an Agreement to Exercise Warrants with Sabby Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Purchasers”) with respect to the exercise by the Purchasers of their Series D Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Series D Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock for cash at $0.05 per share in return for a warrant exercise fee of $0.01 per share purchased.

 

The foregoing description of the letter agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement.  A copy of the agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 in its entity. As noted, on April 7, 2017, the Purchasers agreed to exercise Series D Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,500,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value. Upon exercise of the Series D Warrants, the outstanding common stock will consist of 58,718,567 shares. The common stock was offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The agreed upon issuance of the common stock was not registered under the Securities Act and the common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements. The resale of the common stock by the Purchasers is currently covered by effective registration statements on Form S-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-208549 with respect to shares acquired upon exercise of Series D Warrants,).

 

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.
