CALADRIUS BIOSCIENCES, INC. (NASDAQ:CLBS) Files An 8-K Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K of
Caladrius Biosciences, Inc. (the Company), dated September 15,
2016, on September 14, 2016, the Company entered into Securities
Purchase Agreements (the Purchase Agreements) with certain
accredited investors, including Newhall Construction, Ltd.
(Newhall), to which the investors agreed to purchase an aggregate
of 4,449,153 shares of the Companys common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the Common Stock), at a purchase price of $4.72
per share in a private placement. The investments were placed in
two tranches: (i) up to $12.6 million upon the initial closing
(the Initial Closing), and (ii) up to $8.4 million, subject to
certain conditions, including the enrollment of 70 subjects in
the Companys Phase 2 CLBS03 clinical trial, in a second closing
(the Second Closing). The Initial Closing occurred on September
19, 2016 and the Second Closing, if any, will occur within ten
days after the satisfaction or waiver of the certain conditions
set forth in the Purchase Agreements. The aggregate gross
proceeds for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at the
Initial Closing was $6.6 million, which, as further discussed
below does not include $6.0 million expected to have been
received by Newhall.
The Purchase Agreement relating to Newhalls investment (the
Newhall Purchase Agreement) contains certain conditions related
to the purchase and sale of Common Stock. As a consequence of
Newhalls failure to satisfy the conditions for the Initial
Closing, including Newhalls failure to pay the purchase price for
the shares of Common Stock at the Initial Closing, the Company
terminated the Newhall Purchase Agreement on March 22, 2017, and
no shares of Common Stock were issued to Newhall. As a result, a
total of 1,416,305 shares were issued to the investors at the
Initial Closing. Up to 932,204 shares remain subject to issuance
at the Second Closing, if any, in connection with the receipt of
up to $4.4 million.
