Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 13, 2019, Avalon GloboCare Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement^SM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Jefferies, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $20.0 million. The shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-229118).

The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, to sell shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. Under the Sales Agreement, Jefferies may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement, reimburse Jefferies for certain legal fees and disbursements and provide Jefferies with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by Jefferies or the Company at any time upon notice to the other party, or by Jefferies at any time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a material and adverse change in the Company’s business or financial condition that makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the shares.

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The legal opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP relating to the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the Sales Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any shares under the Sales Agreement nor shall there be any sale of such shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
