Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 29, 2015, Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received funding in the form of convertible promissory notes (the "Notes") from Biotechnology Value Fund, L.P. and other affiliates of BVF Partners, L.P.
The Notes have an aggregate principal balance of $1,000,000, accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum and have a scheduled maturity date of September 28, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”). The outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Notes shall automatically convert into Company equity securities issued in a Qualified Financing (as defined below) at a conversion rate carrying a 15% discount to the lowest price per share (or share equivalent) issued in a Qualified Financing (an “Automatic Conversion”). If, prior to the Maturity Date, the Company enters into an agreement pertaining to a Corporate Transaction (as defined below) and the Note has not been previously converted pursuant to an Automatic Conversion, then, the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of the Note shall automatically convert in whole into the right of the holder to receive, in lieu of any other payment and in cancellation of the Note, an amount in cash upon closing of the Corporate Transaction equal to two times the outstanding principal amount of the Note.
For purposes of the foregoing: "Qualified Financing" means a bona fide new money equity securities financing on or before the Maturity Date with total proceeds to the Company of not less than four million dollars; and “Corporate Transaction” means a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization.
