Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations


Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement


Change in Control


On May 10, 2016, we issued 17,220,000 shares of our newly designated Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Joseph Hernandez.  In exchange, Mr. Hernandez delivered a promissory note in the amount of $210,000 to our former majority shareholder and CEO, Michael Warsinske.  In turn, and in exchange for the note from Mr. Hernandez, Mr. Warsinkse executed a Release and Indemnity Agreement under which he released us of $415,456.78 in total liabilities owed to him.  In addition, Mr. Warsinske agreed to and indemnify us from any liabilities arising prior to the transaction with exception of certain specified liabilities totaling $20,159.57.  


Our newly designated class of Series A Preferred Stock consists of 19,500,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share.  Series A Preferred Stock is convertible to common stock at a rate of two (2) shares of common stock for every one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock.  Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock on an as-if-converted basis.  Series A Preferred Stock has no preferred dividend rights and with respect to rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, will rank pari passu with the class of common stock.  As a result of these transactions, a change in control of the company occurred on May 10, 2016.


In concert with the change in control transaction described above and as a significant feature of an overall reorganization of our capital structure, our Board of Directors and a majority of our shareholders have approved a reverse split of all outstanding shares of our common stock in a ratio of 1 for 7.5.  The reverse split is expected to take effect twenty days after our mailing of a definitive Schedule 14C to shareholders, and upon completion of the mandatory review process at FINRA.  Immediately following the reverse split, we will have approximately 1,600,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


Following the actions described above, our CEO and Director, Michael Warsinske, and our CFO and Director, Mark Noffke resigned from their executive officer positions and appointed Joseph Hernandez as our CEO, CFO, and Executive Chairman.  In addition, Mr. Warsinske and Mr. Noffke appointed Joseph Hernandez to our Board of Directors and resigned from the board effective ten (10) days after mailing to shareholders of our Schedule 14f-1 regarding the change in our board.


Agreement with Prima Biomed Ltd.


On May 11, 2016, we entered into a Sub-License, License, and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Prima Biomed Ltd., an Australian corporation (“Prima”).  Under the Agreement, we have obtained a worldwide exclusive sub-license to certain patents and certain intellectual property and other assets related to CVacTM, a therapy based on ex vivo pulsing of dendritic cells or monocytes with the mannosylated fusion protein. CVac™ therapy is a personalized immunocellular therapeutic that has been investigated for the treatment of epithelial cancers. CVac™ stimulates the patient’s own immune system to target and destroy tumours. It has been investigated in multiple Phase I and Phase II studies with positive results.  In addition to the exclusive sub-license to CVac™ intellectual property, we have also obtained a non-exclusive sublicense and license to all know-how related to CVac™ and have acquired certain assets, including Prima’s inventory of CVac™ products and components, certain machinery and equipment, certain contract rights, and documents and records.


In consideration for the sub-license and related items acquired under the Agreement, we have agreed to issue Prima 1,980,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  Following the effectiveness of the reverse split of common stock discussed above, this will represent 9.9% of our total issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully converted basis.  Prima’s equity position shall be non-dilutable until such time as we have closed an equity financing in the minimum amount of $20,000,000.  In addition, for so long as Prima holds more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, it shall be entitled to appoint one member to our board of directors.  


The Agreement requires us to make certain payments to Prima upon the achievement of various developmental milestones.  In addition, we are required to make additional payments upon the achievement of certain sales milestones.


The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities


In connection with the acquisition of controlling interest by Mr. Hernadez and the Agreement with Prima Biomed, Ltd., as discussed above, we have issued a total of 19,200,000 shares of our newly-designated Series A Preferred Stock. These shares of preferred stock were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising with respect to the issuance of these shares.
