Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information called for by this item is contained in Item 3.02 below, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On October 27, 2009, Cardo Medical, Inc., (the "Company") sold 9,949,276 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company ("Common Stock"), to 45 investors at a purchase price of $0.35 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,482,250.20 as part of a private placement for maximum gross proceeds of $6,500,000.

The Company is relying on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the issuance of shares of common stock in the Company, which exception the Company believes is available because the securities were not offered pursuant to a general solicitation and the status of the investors as "accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.

In connection with the purchase of shares of common stock in the private placement offering, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 27, 2009, with the investors of the private placement offering (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the investors will be entitled to registration rights for the shares of common stock purchased in the private placement offering. The Company will prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the shares of common stock purchased in the private placement offering or a lesser amount pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous or delayed basis. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement on Form S-1 declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the final closing date or one hundred fifty (150) calendar days if the SEC reviews the registration statement. If all of the shares of common stock purchased in the private placement offering are not covered under the initial registration statement, the Company will prepare and file with the SEC an additional registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the additional shares. A copy of the form of registration rights agreement is attached.

The description of the form of Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The securities sold have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States by the purchasers absent registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of our securities.
