Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALQA) Files An 8-K Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously reported, on February 27, 2017, to a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement) with
certain accredited investors (collectively, the Private Placement
Investors), dated February 27, 2017, Alliqua BioMedical, Inc.
(the Company) sold and issued to the Private Placement Investors
in a private placement an aggregate of 5,540,000 shares of common
stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share (the Private
Placement). The Securities Purchase Agreement contains a
most-favored nation provision that provides that if the Company,
during 120 days from February 27, 2017, issues or sells any
common stock or common stock equivalents reasonably believed to
be more favorable in terms or conditions than the Private
Placement, the Company must amend the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement to give the Private Placement Investors the
benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. On April 3,
2017, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock
at a public offering price of $0.40 per share. As a result of the
public offering, and to the most favored nation provision of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, effective as of April 11, 2017,
the Company adjusted the per share purchase price under the
Securities Purchase Agreement to equal the $0.40 per share public
offering price, and would therefore need to issue an aggregate of
1,385,000 additional shares of common stock to the Private
Placement Investors, for no additional consideration. On April
11, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 380,717 shares of
common stock to the Private Placement Investors, with the
remaining 1,004,283 additional shares of common stock (the
Remaining MFN Shares) to be issued to the Private Placement
Investors subject to stockholder approval as may be required by
the applicable rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital
Market.

On June 23, 2017, the Company held its 2017 annual meeting of
stockholders (the Annual Meeting). At the Annual Meeting, the
stockholders approved the issuance of the Remaining MFN Shares,
and, following the Annual Meeting, on June 23, 2017, the Company
issued the Remaining MFN Shares to the Private Placement
Investors. The Remaining MFN Shares were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or the
securities laws of any state, and were issued 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.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election
of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved an amendment to
the Companys 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan) to
increase the total number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under the 2014 Plan by an additional 4,000,000 shares,
to a total of 9,500,000 shares (the Plan Amendment). The Plan
Amendment had been previously approved by the Companys board of
directors (the Board) on April 26, 2017, subject to stockholder
approval.

For more information about the Plan Amendment and the 2014 Plan,
see the Companys definitive proxy statement for the Annual
Meeting, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 9, 2017 (the 2017 Proxy), the relevant portions
of which are incorporated herein by reference. The description of
the Plan Amendment above and such portions of the 2017 Proxy are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the
Plan Amendment, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.

At the Annual Meeting, the following eight proposals were
submitted to a vote of the Companys stockholders:

provision (the MFN Adjustment) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2017, entered into in the
Private Placement, in accordance with NASDAQ Stock Market
Rule 5635(d) (the MFN Adjustment Proposal).
(5) The issuance of shares of the Companys common stock to Jerome

in accordance with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(c) (the

Company, in accordance with NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(b)
(the Celgene Proposal).
(7) Ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Companys
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2017.

the Companys proxy materials.

vote such shares on the MFN Adjustment Proposal, the Chairman MFN
