Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
As previously reported in the MabVax Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Current Report on a Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on February 6, 2017, on February 2, 2018 and February 3, 2018, the Company accepted subscriptions for the sale of $2,100,000 of units of its securities, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock (or, at the election of any Investor who, as a result of receiving common stock would hold in excess of 4.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock, shares of our newly designated 0% Series M Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series M Preferred Stock”)) and a three year warrant to purchase shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.90, equal to seventy percent (70%) of such number of shares of common stock purchased (or, if Series M Preferred Stock, seventy percent (70%) of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series M Preferred Stock), at a per unit price of $0.75. On February 9 and 10, 2018, the Company entered into separate purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with accredited investors pursuant to which it agreed to sell an additional $650,000 worth of units on the same terms as previously reported. Of the additional Purchase Agreements accepted, investors elected $100,000 to be in the form of shares of Series M Preferred Stock. The net proceeds from the additional Purchase Agreements were $645,000 after transaction costs estimated to be $5,000.  The additional Purchase Agreements, together with subscriptions previously reported on February 6, 2018, brings the total subscriptions to $2.75M, or approximately $2.70M after transaction costs, and completes the total amount designated in the form of securities purchase agreement included with the Current Report on a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 6, 2018. Neither the Series M Preferred Stock nor the warrants will be separately listed on any securities exchange or other trading market.
