Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On November 24, 2020, Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) exchanged 4,205,406 shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), representing all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, for 6,078,125 shares of common stock (the “Exchange”). Each holder of the Series C Preferred Stock received such number of shares of common stock as such holder would have received upon conversion in full of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock. No additional shares of common stock were issued.

 

The Exchange was consummated and the shares of common stock were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as the Series C Preferred Stock was exchanged for shares of common stock by the Company with its existing security holders and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
