Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 16, 2017, CEL-SCI Corporation (CEL-SCI) entered into
a securities purchase agreement with institutional investors
whereby it sold 10,000,000 shares of its common stock for
aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000, or $0.10 per share, in a
registered direct offering. The closing of the offering is
expected to take place on or about February 23, 2017, subject to
the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In a concurrent private placement, CEL-SCI sold to the purchasers
of CEL-SCIs common stockreferred to in Item 1.01 warrants (Series
GG) to purchase 10,000,000 shares of CEL-SCIs common stock. The
warrants can be exercised at a price of $0.12 per share at any
commencing six months after the date of issuance and ending five
and a half years after the date of issuance. The warrants and the
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants
are being offered to the exemption provided in Section4(a)(2)
under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule506(b) promulgated
thereunder.
Rodman Renshaw, a unit of H.C. Wainwright Co. (the Placement
Agent), acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with
the offering.
The net proceeds to CEL-SCI from the transaction, after deducting
the placement agents fees and expenses and CEL-SCIs estimated
offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $830,000.
CEL-SCI intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for its
clinical trials and general corporate purposes. CEL-SCI has not
yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically
for any of the foregoing purposes.
The shares of common stock were offered and sold by CEL-SCI to an
effective shelf registration statement on FormS-3, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on
July 1, 2015 and subsequently declared effective on October 30,
2015 (File No.333-205444) (the Registration Statement), and the
base prospectus dated as of October 30, 2015 contained therein.
CEL-SCI has filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC in
connection with the sale of the common stock.
CEL-SCI has agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash commission
of 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the offering and to
reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses. CEL-SCI has
also agreed to issue 500,000 warrants to the Placement Agent (the
Agent Warrants) as part of its compensation. The Agent Warrants
may be exercised at any time on or after August 17, 2017 and on
or before February 16, 2022 at a price of $0.125 per share. The
Placement Agent also has a twelve-month right of first offer
period, indemnification and other customary provisions for
transactions of this nature.
On February 17, 2017, CEL-SCI issued a press release announcing
that it had commenced the offering. A copy of this press release
is attached as Exhibit99.1.
The engagement agreement we entered into with the Placement
Agent, the forms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the
Series GG Warrant, and the Placement Agent Warrant are filed as
