Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 18, 2017, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Hankey Capital, LLC (“Hankey Capital”) a secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $700,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note matures on December 31, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at an annual rate of interest of 8.5% per annum until maturity. Prior to the Maturity Date, Hankey Capital has a right, in its sole discretion, to convert the Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion rate equal to $1.00 per share. In the event of a financing resulting in gross proceeds from non-current stockholders of at least $5,000,000, the holder of the Convertible Note will be required to convert the Note into the same securities issued in such financing at the same price per share. The Company has granted piggyback registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may use the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Note for working capital, protein development, laboratory and testing equipment necessary to support such development, regulatory and clinical expenses, and development work to extend the patent life of NELL-1, as well as for other purposes not presently contemplated herein but which are related directly to growing the Company’s current business, research and development activities. The obligations under the Convertible Note are secured by a first priority security interest on all of the assets of the Company.

 

On August 18, 2017, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation purchased 233,333 restricted shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The Shares are subject to demand registration rights as described in the Subscription Agreement.

 

The form of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Note and Subscription Agreement are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Report, and the summary description of the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, Convertible Note and Subscription Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.

 

Item 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The discussion in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

The Convertible Note and Shares (the “Securities”) will be issued in reliance of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such reliance was based upon the fact that (i) the issuance of the Securities did not involve a public offering, (ii) each counterparty represented that they are accredited investors and (iii) each counterparty made certain investment representations.

Exhibit 10.3

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

Bone Biologics Corporation

2 Burlington Woods Dr., Suite 100

Burlington, MA 101803

 

Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned subscriber or subscribers (hereinafter, the “ Purchaser ”) has received and carefully read this subscription agreement (the “ Agreement ”) and the Confidential Offering Documents for Accredited Investors as may be amended or supplemented from time to time consisting of certain of the Company’s securities filings (the “ Securities Filings ”) which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which are available at www.sec.gov (the “ Offering Documents ”) which relates to the offering of securities (the “ Offering ”) of Bone Biologics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”).

 

1. Subscription . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Shares (the “ Shares ”) of the Company, on the signature page hereof at a purchase price of $3.00 per Share (the “ Share Purchase Price ”) and hereby tenders this Agreement, together with a check or wire transfer in such amount to the Company for such purchase.

 

The Purchaser agrees that this subscription shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands that if this subscription is not accepted, in whole or in part, funds received by the Company pursuant hereto will be returned to the Purchaser, without interest accrued thereon or deduction therefrom.

 

2. Acceptance of Subscription . The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has the right (in its sole discretion) to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason, and that this subscription shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when it is signed on its behalf. The Agreement either will be accepted or rejected, in whole or in part, as promptly as practical after receipt. The Purchaser agrees that subscriptions need not be accepted in the order subscriptions are received by the Company. Upon rejection of this Agreement for any reason, all items received with this Agreement shall be returned to the Purchaser without deduction for any fee, commission or expense and without accrued interest with respect to any money received, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force or effect.

 

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser . The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants to, and covenants with the Company and the Placement Agent as follows:

 

(a) The Shares (collectively, the “ Securities ”) offered in this Offering are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the Offering and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and the provisions of Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

 

(b) he Purchaser and the Purchaser’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “ Advisors ”), acknowledges that it has received the Offering Documents, either in hard copy or electronically, and all other documents requested by the Purchaser, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, and the Purchaser and the Advisors, if any, prior to the execution of this Agreement, have had access to the same kind of information as would be available in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act. Purchaser’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been made based solely on the independent evaluation by the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any.

 

     
 

 

(c) Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved the Shares, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Offering Documents. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Offering Documents have not been reviewed by any federal, state or other regulatory authority. The Securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.

 

(d) All documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the Shares (including, without limitation, the Offering Documents) have been made available for inspection by the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any.

 

(e) The Purchaser and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering of the Shares and the business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company, and all such questions have been answered by representatives of the Company to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any.

 

(f) In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated in the Offering Documents or as contained in documents so furnished to the Purchaser or its Advisors, if any, by the Company.

 

(g) The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering of the Shares directly or indirectly through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any press release, article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet (including without limitation, internet “blogs,” bulletin boards, discussion groups or social networking sites) in connection with the Offering and sale of the Shares and is not subscribing for the Shares and did not become aware of the Offering of the Shares through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.

 

(h) Other than R.W. Pressprich & Co. who is acting as placement agent (the “ Placement Agent ”) for the Company in the Offering, and any broker-dealer and member of FINRA who the Placement Agent may have retained to offer and sell Shares in this Offering, the Purchaser is not aware of any person and has been advised that no person, will receive from the Company any compensation as a broker, finder, adviser or in any other capacity in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

 

(i) The Purchaser, either alone or together with its Advisors, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

 

(j) The Purchaser understands that the Company will review this Agreement and the Purchaser’s Confidential Purchaser Questionnaire which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by such reference and the Company is hereby given authority by the Purchaser to call the Purchaser’s bank or place of employment or otherwise investigate or review the financial standing of the Purchaser; and it is further agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to close the offer at any time.

 

  2  
 

 

(k) The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Shares, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisors, if any.

 

(l) The Purchaser represents that the Shares are being purchased for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view for distribution or resale to others. The Purchaser agrees that the Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless the Securities are registered under the Securities Act or unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Purchaser’s investment intention. In this connection, the Purchaser understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the Purchaser’s representation merely meant that the Purchaser’s present intention was to hold such Shares for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale or for any other fixed period. The Purchaser realizes that the SEC might regard a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, and a sale or disposition thereof, as a deferred sale to which the exemption is not available.

 

(m) The purchase of the Shares represents a high risk capital investment and the Purchaser is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company. The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Shares indefinitely because none of the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Securities to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s books. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent of the Securities.

 

(n) The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.

 

(o) The Purchaser satisfies any special suitability or other applicable requirements of his state of residence and/or the state in which the transaction by which the Shares are purchased occurs.

 

(p) The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Shares involves a number of very significant risks. The Purchaser is aware of the following additional risk factors:

 

Prospective investors must undertake their own due diligence .

 

The Offering Documents contain limited information regarding our company, our current and future business and operations, our management and our financial condition. While we believe the information contained in the Offering Documents accurate, such document is not meant to contain an exhaustive discussion regarding our company. We cannot guarantee a prospective investor that the abbreviated nature of the Offering Documents will not omit to state a material fact which a prospective investor may believe to be an important factor in determining if an investment in the Shares is appropriate for such investor. As a result, prospective investors are required to undertake their own due diligence of our company, our current and proposed business and operations, our management and our financial condition to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information we are providing in the Offering Documents. This investment is suitable only for accredited investors who have the knowledge and experience to independently evaluate our company, our business and prospects.

 

  3  
 

 

This is a “best efforts” Offering and there are no assurances we will sell all of the Shares offered hereby.

 

This is a “best efforts” offering which means there is no guarantee as to the minimum number of Shares we may sell in this Offering. There are no assurances we will sell a sufficient number of Shares to accomplish our goals which are described in these Offering Documents. If we sell less than all of the Shares offered hereby, we will have significantly less funds available to us for general working capital and for the other purposes described herein.

 

Our management has full discretion as to the use of proceeds from the Offering.

 

We expect to use the net proceeds from this Offering for working capital, protein development, laboratory and testing equipment necessary to support such development, regulatory and clinical expenses, and development work to extend the patent life of NELL-1, as well as for other purposes not presently contemplated herein but which are related directly to growing our current business. As a result of the foregoing, purchasers of the Shares offered hereby will be entrusting their funds to our management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions.

 

(q) The Purchaser meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and has truthfully and accurately completed the Purchaser’s Confidential Purchaser Questionnaire contained herein.

 

(r) The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Shares, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(s) Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company and/or the Placement Agent is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and the Placement Agent in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under Federal and state securities laws in connection with the Offering. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company and the Placement Agent immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Shares.

 

  4  
 

 

(t) The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investments in non-registered securities. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser.

 

(u) No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the Offering which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Offering Documents.

 

(v) The Purchaser has relied only on the information contained in the Securities Filings.

 

(w) The Purchaser understands and agrees that all certificates representing the Shares will contain the following restrictive legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“ 1933 ACT ”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL TO DB COWORKING HOLDINGS CORP. THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE.

 

(x) The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“ OFAC ”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations . The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “ OFAC Programs ”) prohibit dealing with individuals 1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.

 

(y) To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representations set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Placement Agent should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

The Purchaser fiduciary or plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

(cc) The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents on its behalf; or (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock corporation or other entity, represents on its behalf and the behalf of its officers, directors and principal stockholders, connected with the Purchaser at the time of this Agreement, that it is not subject to any “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “ Disqualifying Event ”), except for a Disqualifying Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3).

In addition, the Purchaser agrees to notify the Company and the Placement Agent immediately in writing if the Purchaser ceases to be an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Until the Purchaser provides a notice described in the preceding two sentences, the Company and the Placement Agent may rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein in connection with any matter related to the Company and/or the Placement Agent.
