Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On October 18, 2019, Avalon GloboCare Corp. (the “Company”) and third-party institutional investors (the (“Warrant Holders”) holding Stock Purchase Warrants to acquire 1,714,288 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) entered into a Warrant Redemption and Cancellation Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”). The Warrants had an exercise price of $3.50 per share and were originally issued as part of the Company’s registered direct offering in April 2019. The Redemption Agreement provides that the Company will redeem the Warrants for a purchase price of approximately $1.4 million with 50% of the Warrants to be redeemed on or before October 25, 2019 and the balance to be redeemed on or before November 8, 2019. The Warrant Holders may exercise all or some of the Warrants on or prior to the date the Company provides the Warrant Holders with notice of its intent to close. In the event the Warrant Holders sell the shares of common stock prior to receipt of notice from the Company, the number of shares to be redeemed and the payment price shall be reduced on a pro-rata basis. The Warrant Holders may terminate the Redemption Agreement in the event the initial closing does not occur prior to November 1, 2019. Additionally, to the extent that the final closing has not occurred on or prior to November 14, 2019, then the Warrant Holder shall have the right to terminate the Company’s rights with respect to the second closing. Following each closing, the Warrants that were redeemed shall be cancelled.
