Entia Biosciences, Inc. (OTCMKTS:ERGO) Files An 8-K Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 22, 2016, we entered into a placement agent agreement with an effective date of September 18, 2016 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with a placement agent (the “Placement Agent”). The material terms of the Placement Agent Agreement were as follows:
Upon the closing of an equity financing, if any, as compensation for services provided to the Placement Agent, we agreed that we will pay the Placement Agent: (a) A cash fee equal to 10% of the dollar amount received by the Issuer, in connection with a Proposed Offering, including any proceeds received by the Issuer from any cash exercise of warrants, options or rights issued to investors in the Proposed Offering; (b) A cash non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the dollar amount received by the Issuer in connection with the Proposed Offerings, subject to certain restrictions; and (c) At the Closing or Closings, if any, the Issuer shall grant to the Placement Agent (or its designated affiliates or assignees) share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) covering a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the total number of Shares being sold and/or issued in the Proposed Offering. The Warrants will be nonexercisable or transferrable for six (6) months after the date of the Closing other than as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110 and will be exercisable and expire five years after Closing. The Warrants will be exercisable at a price equal to 125% of the offering price and shall not be redeemable. The Warrants may be exercised as to all or a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, will provide for cashless exercise, and possess “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five years after the Closing, at the Issuer’s expense.
No transaction terms were set with respect to the Placement Agent Agreement as of the date of this filing.
On December 5, 2016, we informed the Placement Agent that we were terminating the aforementioned Placement Agent Agreement. From that date forward, our material ongoing obligations to the Placement Agent consist principally of success fee payments, as described above, limited to actual future transactions with us by potential investors introduced to us during the term of the Placement Agent Agreement. We effected the termination in order to pursue other sources of potential investment without being limited by the Placement Agent Agreement. No material early termination penalties were incurred by us as a result of the termination.
