CHROMADEX CORPORATION (NASDAQ:CDXC) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 26, 2017, ChromaDex Corporation (the Company) entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement)
with certain purchasers named therein (the Purchasers), to which
the Company agreed to sell and issue up to $25.0 million of its
Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.60 per share in three
tranches of approximately $3.5 million, $16.4 million and $5.1
million, respectively. The first tranche is expected to close on
April 27, 2017, to which the Company will issue 1,346,154 shares
of its Common Stock. The second tranche is expected to occur
within 30 days of the closing of the first tranche, to which the
Company has agreed to issue 6,303,814 shares of its Common Stock.
The third tranche is expected to occurfollowing a related
stockholder approval to be solicited as soon as possible after
completion of the second tranche.

Subject to completion of the second tranche, the Purchase
Agreement requires that the Companys Board of Directors (the
Board) increase the number of authorized directors so as to
create two vacant seats on the Board, which vacancies shall be
filled by nominees selected by the Purchasers on a date following
the Companys 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

At the closing of the first tranche and unless otherwise waived,
the Purchase Agreement requires that the Company and the
Purchasers promptly enter into a Registration Rights Agreement in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers (the
Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to the shares of the
Companys Common Stock acquired under the Purchase Agreement, the
terms of which shall be described in a subsequent Current Report
on Form 8-K filed by the Company.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached
to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1. On April 27, 2017, the
Company also issued a press release announcing the pricing of the
financing. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit
99.2 hereto.

The shares of the Companys common stock being sold to the
Purchase Agreement are not registered under the Securities Act of
the 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any state
securities laws. The Company has relied on the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of
Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.
In connection with the Purchasers execution of the Purchase
Agreement, the Purchasers represented to the Company that they
are each an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D of the
Securities Act and that the securities purchased by them were
acquired solely for their own account and for investment purposes
and not with a view to the future sale or distribution.
