The following subsequent event disclosure includes transactions between Cardax, Inc. (“Cardax”, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), Cardax Pharma, Inc. (“Pharma”) and Pharma’s predecessor, Cardax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Holdings”).

 

On February 7, 2014, the closing date (the “Closing Date”) of the Merger (as described below), we accepted the terms of, and entered into that certain Subscription Agreement dated as of February 7, 2014, by and between Pharma and the purchasers of securities named therein (the “Subscription Agreement”). The Subscription Agreement provided for aggregate gross cash proceeds to us of $3,923,100 in exchange for the issuance and sale of an aggregate 6,276,960 of shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”) (after giving effect to the Stock Dividend described below), and the grant of Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,276,960 shares of our Common Stock (after giving effect to the Stock Dividend) for a price per share of $0.625, subject to certain specified adjustments for changes or reclassifications to our Common Stock, that will expire in five years.

 

On the Closing Date of the Merger, we assumed the obligations of Pharma under the following agreements, which are collectively referred to as the “Placement Agent Agreements”:

 

  that certain Placement Agent Agreement dated January 3, 2014, by and between Pharma and Portfolio Advisors Alliance, Inc. (“Portfolio Advisors”), and acknowledged by Agincourt Ltd. (“Agincourt”);

 

  that certain Financial Consulting Agreement dated January 3, 2014, by and between Pharma and Portfolio Advisors Alliance, and acknowledged by Agincourt;

 

  that certain Exclusive Investment Banking Agreement dated as of March 12, 2013, and supplemented as of May 21, 2013 and December 3, 2013, by and among Holdings, Pharma, and Agincourt, as the placement agent (the “Exclusive Investment Banking Agreement”); and

 

  that certain Sub-Agency Agreement dated December 12, 2013, by and between Agincourt and Paulson Investment Company, Inc., as the sub-agent, and acknowledged by Holdings and Pharma (the “Sub-Agency Agreement”, and collectively with the Exclusive Investment Banking Agreement, the “Agincourt Agreements”).

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and the Placement Agent Agreements, we issued and sold an aggregate of 6,276,960 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Stock Dividend) at a price per share of $0.625, and granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,537,405 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Stock Dividend) at a price per share of $0.625, subject to certain specified adjustments for changes or reclassifications to our Common Stock.

 

On January 10, 2014, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 10, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Cardax, Pharma and Holdings, we acquired 66.67 shares of common stock of Pharma, which represented 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Pharma after giving effect to the issuance of such shares, in exchange for an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of our Common Stock (after giving effect to the Stock Dividend) that we issued to Pharma. Pharma transferred the shares of our Common Stock to Holdings as a dividend. Immediately prior to the closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger, Holdings owned 60% of Pharma and approximately 39% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

On the Closing Date of the Merger, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 27, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Cardax, Cardax Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Cardax Sub”), Holdings, and Pharma, as amended by (i) First Amendment dated as of January 10, 2014 and (ii) Second Amendment dated as of February 7, 2014, Cardax Sub was merged with and into Pharma (the “Merger”). Pharma was the surviving corporation in the Merger. There was no cash consideration exchanged in the Merger. Accordingly, on the Closing Date of the Merger, Pharma became our wholly-owned subsidiary and we acquired the life sciences business of Pharma.

We authorized a stock dividend of 3.4 shares of our Common Stock for each one share of Common Stock to stockholders of record on January 9, 2014 (the “Stock Dividend”), which will be distributed after the Merger; and
