Item 1.01             Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 28, 2016, BioSig Technologies, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into Subscription Agreements (the “ Subscription Agreements ”) with certain accredited investors (the “ Investors ”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 346,567 units (the “ Units ”), with each Unit consisting of one share (the “ Investor Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and a warrant to purchase one half of one share of Common Stock (the “ Investor Warrants ” and, collectively with the Investor Shares, the “ Securities ”), in exchange for aggregate consideration of $519,850 (the “ Private Placement ”).  The Investor Shares and the Investor Warrants issued to the Investors were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act.  Each Investor represented that it was an accredited investor (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act) at the time of the Private Placement.

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company also entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), a Registration Rights Agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) and various ancillary documents in support thereof, each dated as of October 28, 2016.

 

The following is a brief summary of each of those agreements.

 

Purchase Agreement

 

The Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by the Investors and the sale by the Company of the Securities. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors that are typical for transactions of this type.

 

The Purchase Agreement also contains covenants on the part of the Company that are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants:

 

·

Until the earliest of the time that (a) no Investor owns the Securities or (b) the Investor Warrants have expired, the Company is required to obtain and maintain the registration of the Investor Shares and shares of Common Stock underlying the Investor Warrants under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

·

The Company is required to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, growth initiatives and capital expenditures. The Company may not use any of the proceeds from the Private Placement (i) for the repayment of debt, (ii) for the redemption or repurchase of any equity securities, or (iii) for the settlement of any claims, actions or proceedings against the Company.

·

The Company is required to ensure that, on a continuous basis, there is a sufficient number of shares authorized that equals or exceeds the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Private Placement, ignoring any exercise limits set forth therein, and all such shares of Common Stock are required to be approved for listing on the Company’s principal trading market.

The Purchase Agreement also obligates the Company to indemnify the Investors for certain losses resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any obligation of the Company, and (ii) certain third party claims.

 

Investor Warrants

 

The Investor Warrants are immediately exercisable and, in the aggregate, entitle the Investors to purchase up to an approximately 173,284 shares of Common Stock. The Investor Warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.50 per share, payable in cash. The Investor Warrants expire on October 28, 2019.

The Investor Warrants require payments to be made by the Company for failure to timely deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise. The Investor Warrants also contain limitations on exercise, including the limitation that any Investor may not exercise its Investor Warrants to the extent that upon exercise, such Investor, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (subject to an increase, upon at least 61 days’ notice by such Investor to the Company, of up to 9.99%).

 

Anti-Dilution Protection

 

The exercise price of the Investor Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants are subject to adjustments for dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar events.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

Upon the occurrence of a transaction involving a change of control the holders of the Investor Warrants will have the right to receive upon exercise, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such change of control, the number of shares of common stock of the successor, acquiring corporation, or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such change of control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Investor Warrants were exercisable immediately prior to such change of control.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) within 45 days of the final closing of the Private Placement (the “ Filing Date ”) covering the resale of (a) all the Investor Shares, (b) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants, (c) any additional shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any anti-dilution provisions in the Investor Warrants, and (d) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event (“ Registrable Securities ”), not then registered.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC (such date, the “ Effectiveness Date ”) within 120 days of the Filing Date.

 

If (i) the registration statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a registration statement within 10 calendar days of the date that the Company is notified by the SEC that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, (iii) prior to the effective date of a registration statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such registration statement within 30 days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such registration statement to be declared effective, (iv) the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of the Filing Date, or (v) the registration statement ceases to remain continuously effective for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12-month period after the Effectiveness Date (each, an “ Event ”), then the Company shall pay liquidated damages to the Investors in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors on the day of delinquency and each 30th day of delinquency thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages due under the Registration Rights Agreement shall be 6% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors, and (ii) if any partial amount of liquidated damages remains unpaid for more than 7 days, the Company shall pay interest of 18% per annum, accruing daily, on such unpaid amount. However, that the Company shall not be required to make any payments if an Event occurred at such time that all Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”) promulgated by the SEC or if the Company is unable to register the Registrable Securities due to limits imposed by the SEC.

 

 Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement from the Effectiveness Date until the first to occur of (a) the date one year from the date the registration statement is declared effective, and (b) the date on which all securities registered under the registration statement have been sold, or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, subject to the Company’s right to suspend or defer the use of the registration statement in certain events.
