Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.  

 

As previously reported, on October 16, 2017, RenovaCare, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with certain accredited investors named in the signature pages thereto (the “ Purchasers ”) in connection with the registered direct public offering (the “ Registered Direct Offering ”) of an aggregate of 920,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “ Shares ”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell the Shares directly to the Purchasers. The Shares are being offered at a price of $2.50 per share. 

 

In a concurrent private placement (the “ Private Placement ;” together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “ Offering ”), we are also selling to the Purchasers, for no additional consideration, a warrant (each a “ Warrant ” and collectively, the “ Warrants ”) to purchase one share of Common Stock for each Share purchased for cash in the Offering. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately on the date of issuance (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”), at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.

 

The Company expects the Offering to close on or about October 19, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333- 217499 ), which was initially filed with SEC on April 27, 2017, and was declared effective on May 17, 2017 (the “ Registration Statement ”). The Company expects to file the prospectus supplement for the registered direct offering on or about October 17, 2017.

 

The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “ Warrant Shares ”), are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), pursuant to the registration statement of which the aforementioned prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus form a part and are not being offered pursuant to aforementioned prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. The Warrants are being offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Warrants are not and will not be listed for trading on any national securities exchange. The Placement Agent is acting as the sole placement agent for the offer and sale of the Warrants

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, and the Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, and the Warrants, the forms of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1 respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2017 and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

 

The Company is filing the opinion of its counsel, Satterlee Stephens LLP., relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares of the Shares and the Warrants in the Purchase Agreement, as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. Exhibit 5.1 (inclusive of Exhibit 23.1, the Consent of Satterlee Stephens LLP set forth in Exhibit 5.1) is incorporated herein by reference herein and into the Registration Statement.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to the Offering will be available on the Commission’s web site at http://www.sec.gov . Copies of the prospectus supplement may also be obtained from the Company at: 430 Park Avenue, Suite 702, New York, NY 10022

Dear Sirs:

 

We have acted as counsel to RenovaCare, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with: (i) a Registration Statement (as amended from time to time, referred to as the on Form S-3 (“ Registration Statement ”) which Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on May 17, 2017, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”); (ii) a prospectus supplement dated October 18, 2017 (the “ Prospectus Supplement ”) to the prospectus which forms a part of the Registration Statement, relating to the public offering of 920,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “ Shares ”) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 16, 2017 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), by and between the Company and the persons who are signatories thereto (the “ Offering ”).

We do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with, or expressing any opinion with respect to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, and the Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes applicable to the Offering (the “ NRS ”) Accordingly, the opinions expressed herein are expressly limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the NRS.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
