Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. (OTCMKTS:NWBO) Files An 8-K Unregistered Sales of Equity SecuritiesItem 3.02.
Subsequent to the completion of Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Regulation D offering, reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on January 4, 2018, the Company has made additional sales from January 21, 2018 through February 20, 2018 of an aggregate of 584,600 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into 5,846,000 shares of common stock, and Class D-2 Warrants to acquire an aggregate of up to 5,846,000 additional shares of common stock for a subscription price of approximately $1,344,580, on the same terms as in December 2017.
The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to restrictions, under which it is not currently convertible and will not become convertible into common stock until common stock is available therefor or after 6 months following issuance. When sufficient shares of common stock are available for issuance upon conversion, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the option of the holder, at any time, into a total of 10 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for a total of 5,846,000 shares of common stock (the equivalent of a conversion price of $0.23 per share of common stock). Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock will only receive dividends if the common stock receives dividends, and such dividends would be in the same amount, on an as-converted basis. In case of a liquidation event, if the Series B Preferred Stock is still outstanding at that time, each holder will, with respect to each Series B Preferred share owned by such holder, be entitled to a liquidation preference of either the amount paid for the Series B Preferred share or the amount that the holder of such Series B Preferred share would have received if it had converted such share to common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event.
The Class D-2 Warrants are not currently exercisable and will become exercisable only when shares of common stock are available for issuance upon exercise.
In connection with this offering, the Company entered into voting agreements with certain investors.
The Series B Preferred Stock and Class D-2 Warrants described in this Item 3.02 were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. Each of the offerings was made to an “accredited investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act).
