Item
1.01 Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
One
February 1, 2011, ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) and Intrexon
Corporation entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Stock Purchase
Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated January 6, 2011. Under the
Stock Purchase Agreement, if requested by the Company and subject to certain
restrictions and limitations, Intrexon has agreed to purchase securities in
conjunction with future securities offerings of the Company that constitute
“Qualified Financings,” subject to an aggregate equity purchase commitment of
$50,000,000. Reference is made to the description of the Stock Purchase
Agreement included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2011. Under the Amendment, the
parties agreed that in the event that Intrexon voluntarily elects to purchase
securities in a Qualified Financing for which the Company does not request that
Intrexon participate, the aggregate purchase price paid by Intrexon for such
securities shall be applied against and reduce the then remaining maximum amount
of Intrexon’s $50,000,000 aggregate equity purchase commitment. The foregoing
descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Amendment are qualified in
their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit
10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 12, 2011. A copy of the Amendment is
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report.
