Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Background

On November 10, 2008, Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On August 16, 2010, the Debtors filed their First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, and, on October 25, 2010, the Debtors filed the First Modification to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (collectively and as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”). On October 27, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court held a Confirmation hearing and confirmed the Plan, and, on November 2, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Confirming Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved and confirmed the Plan, as modified by the Confirmation Order. In connection with the confirmation hearing all creditor classes deemed “impaired” pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code voted to support the Plan. The Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 protection, and the Plan became effective, on November 17, 2010 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the Plan, the date on which a claim in any Class listed in the Plan became an “allowed claim” by order of the Bankruptcy Court or by agreement between Debtors and the claimant is the “Determination Date”.

Class 1 Priority Claims

On the Effective Date, the Company agreed to make payment of 100% of the allowed Priority Claims (as defined in the Plan), consisting primarily of accrued/unused vacation payments to former employees, of approximately $68,000 in a cash payment due six months after the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the Plan, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (In Liquidation), PSource Structured Debt Limited, Valens Offshore SPV I, Ltd., Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp., Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC, and LV Administrative Services, Inc. (“Laurus/Valens”), have an allowed secured claim against the Company in the amount of $8.8 million. On the Effective Date, pursuant to a Term Loan and Security Agreement, the Company executed and delivered to Laurus/Valens term notes (the “Laurus/Valens Term Notes”) evidencing such allowed secured claim in the original principal amount of $8.8 million. The following are the material terms and conditions of the Laurus/Valens Term Notes:

a prepayment equal to thirty percent (30%) of the net proceeds (i.e., the gross proceeds received less any investment banking or similar fees and commissions and legal costs and expenses incurred by the Company) of certain capital raising transactions (with certain exclusions);

 

   

the Laurus/Valens Term Notes are secured by:

 

   

a first lien in all of the assets of the Company, junior only to the liens granted under the Plan to holders of the 8% Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures Due June 19, 2011, issued by the Company in June 2008, in the original aggregate principal amount of $8,906,098.00 and certain permitted liens;

all of the assets of Analytica, which secure a guaranty of Analytica as to the entire indebtedness under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes; and

 

   

with the prior written consent of Laurus/Valens, the Company may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Laurus/Valens Term Notes into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Laurus/Valens Conversion Shares”) equal to (a) the aggregate portion of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the Laurus/Valens Term Note being converted, divided by (b) ninety percent (90%) of the average closing price publicly reported for the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the notice of conversion.

 

   

On the Effective Date, 2,236,848 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Laurus/Valens for payment of Laurus/Valens Class 5 and Class 13 claims aggregating approximately $6.0 million at a conversion rate equal to $2.67 per share.
