Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The disclosure required by this item is included in Item 3.02 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On September 30, 2009, RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with an affiliate of the Company’s largest stockholder, Sigma-Tau Group (the “ Purchaser ”), with respect to the sale of 1,219,512 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $0.82 (the “ Shares ”), for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the “ Private Placement ”). In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has agreed to issue to the Purchaser a warrant to purchase an additional 609,756 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share (the “ Warrant ”). The Warrant will be exercisable beginning six months from the date of issuance and will expire on September 30, 2014. The Private Placement is subject to customary closing conditions, and the Company expects to close the Private Placement in early October 2009.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to vote the Shares, and any additional shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant, as directed by the Board of Directors of the Company until September 30, 2012.
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”)), and the Company will sell the securities in the Private Placement in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) and Rule 506 under the Securities Act. The securities to be sold in the Private Placement may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. There will be no discounts or brokerage fees associated with the Private Placement. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The form of Warrant and the definitive Purchase Agreement are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively. The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by the contents of such exhibits, which are incorporated by reference herein.
On September 30, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the Private Placement as well as the pricing of a registered direct public offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

3.2. Issuance of New Warrants. Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith and, in any event within five business days, issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase under the Warrant.
3.3. Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Exercise Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant.
4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
4.1. Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
4.2. No Impairment. Except to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
4.3. Notices of Record Date and Certain Other Events. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least 10 days prior to the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, a notice specifying such date.

5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND EXERCISE SHARES.
(a) In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, consolidation, acquisition of the Company, or the like, the number, class and type of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and type of shares or other property as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
(b) If at any time following delivery by Holder to the Company of a Notice of Exercise but prior to issuance of the applicable Exercise Shares, the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:
(i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section 5(a) above),
(ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend, or
(iii) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) above),
then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable pursuant to the Notice of Exercise, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
(c) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Exercise Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

6. FRACTIONAL SHARES.
No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
7. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.
Other than as provided in Section 3.1(a) or otherwise herein, this Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
8. TRANSFER OF WARRANT.
Subject to applicable laws and the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5 thereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.
If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
10. NOTICES, ETC.
All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page hereto and to Holder at the applicable address set forth on the applicable signature page to the Purchase Agreement or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by 10 days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

 

5


 

11. ACCEPTANCE.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
12. GOVERNING LAW.
This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
