PROVECTUS BIOPHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (OTCMKTS:PVCT) Files An 8-K Other Events

Item8.01.

Other Events.

On March30, 2017, a group of investors (the Miller Group) of
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) filed a Schedule
13D (the Schedule 13D) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission disclosing certain communications it had had with the
Company regarding its proposal for a potential investment in the
Companys securities (the Miller Group Proposal). The Schedule 13D
both discloses material nonpublic information in violation of
Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and also omits material information necessary to make
the statements made in the Schedule 13D not misleading. The
Miller Group also appears to be trying to manipulate the market
with its cherry picking of facts to make it seem that the Company
is working on a financing with the Miller Group while ignoring
the many statements the Company has made to the Miller Group in
which the Company has made clear that the Miller Group Proposal,
in its current state, is wholly inadequate for the Company to
consider the Miller Group Proposal seriously.

The Schedule 13D provides that the Company responded to a letter
from the Miller Group regarding the Miller Group Proposal on
March27, 2017 (the 3/27 Company Letter). The Company responded to
the Miller Group because, even though the Miller Group had
previously withdrawn its offer, it was now threatening imminent
litigation. As provided in the Schedule 13D, in the 3/27 Company
Letter, the Company noted that if the Investors made a proposal
that did not involve Peter R. Culpepper, the Issuers Board would
consider it. The Schedule 13D, however, failed to include several
important points necessary to make this disclosure not
misleading:

The Schedule 13D provides that the Miller Group accepted the
condition [of Culpepper not being involved in the Company]
but the Schedule 13D fails to disclose that the Miller Group
accepted that condition with exceptions and caveats to
Culpeppers non-involvement that were entirely unacceptable to
the Company. The Company, in a March28 follow-up response to
the Miller Groups letter on March28 (the 3/28 Company
Response), made it clear that the conditions of Culpeppers
non-involvement made by the Miller Group were not acceptable
to the Company. Because the board of directors (the Board)
terminated Mr.Culpepper for cause and believes that it would
not be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to have Mr.Culpepper return to the Company in
any capacity, the Company communicated to the Miller Group
that the Board would not consider the Miller Group Proposal
unless the Miller Group removed Mr.Culpeppers involvement as
an officer, director, consultant or advisor of the Company
without condition or exception. Accordingly, the conditions
and contingencies put on Culpeppers non-involvement in the
Company by the Miller Group were and continue to be
unacceptable.
The Schedule 13D fails to disclose that the Miller Group has
had numerous conversations and written communications with
the Company both prior to and after the 3/27 Company Letter
in which the Company has made clear that the Miller Group
would need to make numerous changes to the Miller Group
Proposal, including matching the terms of the preferred
securities to be offered to the PRH Group (as defined below).
In the 3/28 Company Response, the Company specifically stated
to the Miller Group that the terms of the security proposed
to be issued to the Miller Group investors in the Miller
Group Proposal were inferior to the terms of the securities
proposed to be issued the PRH Group. The Schedule 13D failed
to disclose that the 3/28 Company Response indicated that the
Board unanimously continued to believe that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders to proceed with
and to consummate the offer from the PRH Group.
The Scheduled 13D fails to disclose that the Company, in its
discussions and communications with the Miller Group, has
made clear that, in order for the Board to consider the
Miller Group Proposal seriously, the condition that Peter
Culpepper not be appointed as an officer, director,
consultant or advisor of the Company in connection with the
Miller Groups financing is only one of the many conditions
required by the Company.

The Schedule 13D fails to disclose that the Company
specifically indicated to the Miller Group that it would
consider the Miller Group Proposal in accordance with the
terms of the Definitive Financing Commitment Term Sheet the
Company entered into with another group of the Companys
investors (the PRH Group) on March19, 2017, which provides
that the Company may consider an alternative proposal in
order to comply with the Boards fiduciary duties under
Delaware corporate law to determine whether the Miller Group
Proposal was superior.

Counsel to the Miller Group attempted to justify its failure to
disclose all of the material terms of the discussions and
correspondence between the Company and the Miller Group by
arguing that there was not sufficient time to include such
discussions and correspondence in the Schedule 13D. However, the
Schedule 13D was filed on March30, but there was correspondence
from the Company to the Miller Group on March28 and telephone
conversations and e-mail correspondence between the Company and
the Miller Group on March29 in which, as noted above, it was made
clear that the Miller Groups Proposal was still considered
inferior to the PRH Groups Proposal and that there were still
numerous conditions, including non-involvement by Culpepper
without exception, that must be met for the Miller Groups offer
to be given serious consideration.
