| Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
The information disclosed in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The sale and issuance of the securities as disclosed in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K have been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We based this determination on the non-public manner in which the securities were offered and on the representations of the person acquiring such securities, which included, in pertinent part, that it was an “accredited investor”, and that it was acquiring such securities for investment purposes for its own account, and not with a view to resale or distribution, and that it understood such securities are subject to the restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As of December 1, 2012, Authentidate Holding Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Legend Securities, Inc. for a term of one year pursuant to which Legend Securities has agreed to provide investor relations and business advisory services to the Company.

The Warrants vest as follows: 52,250 of the Warrants vest on the effective date of the agreement and then an additional 56,250 Warrants will vest each 90 day period thereafter.
