Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 27, 2010, pursuant to a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 24, 2010 pursuant to Rule 13e-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Schedule TO”), and Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on December 9, 2010 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on December 27, 2010, Helix BioMedix, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated its offer (the “Offer”) to (a) amend and convert (together with all accrued interest thereon) into shares of its Common Stock or amend up to $3,474,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due July 1, 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and up to $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due July 1, 2013 (the “2013 Notes,” and together with the 2011 Notes, the “Existing Notes”) and (b) amend and exercise its outstanding Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 868,500 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “2011 Warrants”) and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.80 per share (the “2013 Warrants,” and together with the 2011 Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”). Prior to consummation of the Offer, the 2011 Notes and 2013 Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share and $0.80 per share, respectively; upon consummation of the Offer, all Existing Notes tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer were converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.60 per share. Prior to consummation of the Offer, the 2011 Warrants and 2013 Warrants were exercisable for shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and $0.80 per share, respectively; upon consummation of the Offer, all Existing Warrants tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer were exercised for twice the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as the respective Existing Warrants at an exercise price per share equal to half of the exercise price of the respective Existing Warrants. Furthermore, upon consummation of the Offer, the Existing Notes and Existing Warrants tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer were terminated in their entirety. The results of the Offer are described in Item 8.01 below.

In addition, on December 27, 2010, the Company entered into a Warrant Amendment and Exercise Agreement (the “Warrant Exercise Agreement”) with RBFSC Inc. (“RBFSC”), pursuant to which (i) RBFSC amended and exercised for cash its Warrant issued on March 3, 2006 for 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, thereby doubling the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the original Warrant and reducing by half the exercise price thereof; and (ii) the Company agreed to comply with the requirements for “qualified small business stock” under Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Frank T. Nickell, who beneficially owned approximately 50.4% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of November 22, 2010, is the president and a director of RBFSC, and upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Offer and the Warrant Exercise Agreement, Mr. Nickell beneficially owned approximately 39.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of December 27, 2010.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Exercise Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, upon exercise of RBFSC’s Warrant issued on March 3, 2006, such Warrant was thereby terminated in its entirety.
