Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 2, 2014, Neuralstem, Inc. (“Company”) entered into an engagement agreement with T.R. Winston & Company, LLC (“Placement Agent”), relating to the offer and sale of the Company’s securities (“Offering”). On January 2, 2014, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (“Purchase Agreements”) with institutional and accredited investors (“Purchasers”) for the purchase of 6,872,859 units, at a per unit purchase price of $2.91, or an aggregate of $20,000,000 of units. Each unit (“Unit”) consists of (i) one share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”) and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 0.5 share of common stock with an exercise price of $3.64 per share (“Warrant(s)”).

 

The Offering will close on or about January 8, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions. As compensation for its services, the Company will pay to Placement Agent a cash fee of $1,200,000 (6% of the gross proceeds received from the Offering) We have also agreed to reimburse the expenses of the Placement Agent in an amount equal to $15,000.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company will issue an aggregate of 6,872,859 Shares and 3,436,435 Warrants. The Warrants have an exercise price of $3.64 and are initially exercisable at issuance and have a term of exercise of 5 years. The Warrants contain provisions providing for the adjustment of the purchase price and number of shares into which the securities are exercisable in the event of Stock Splits or Dividends, Subsequent Rights Offerings, Pro-Rata Distributions and Fundamental Transactions. The Warrants do not contain any provisions regarding subsequent securities issuances or so called “price protection provisions.”

 

The gross proceeds from the Offering are $20,000,000. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Units, after deducting the placement agent’s fee and associated costs and expenses, is estimated to be $18,700,000. The Offering is anticipated to close on or about January 8, 2014.

 

The offer and sale of the Units is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, declared effective on September 13, 2013 (File No. 333-190936).
