EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This
Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amended Report”)
amends and restates the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”)
filed by Advaxis, Inc. (“Company”) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2010 and Exhibit 4.1
thereto.
Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
February 1, 2010, Advaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) and Gem
Partners L.P. (the “Holder”) entered into
an amendment (the “Amendment”) to a
Senior Promissory Note in the original principal face amount of $588,235 (the
“Note”). The
Note was issued with an original issue discount of 15%. The Amendment provides,
among other things, that: (a) the maturity date of the Note is to be extended to
February 16, 2010; (b) on the maturity date, the Company will pay the Holder an
amount equal to five percent (5%) of the principal amount outstanding under the
Note on the date of the Amendment; (c) the Company will pay down the principal
face amount of the Note by an amount in cash equal to the original issue
discount amount of 15%; (d) upon the maturity date or the occurrence of an event
of default, the Holder has the option to convert the outstanding amounts under
the Note into the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), based
on a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the average volume
weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share for
the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding December 28, 2009 and
(ii) 50% of the VWAP per share of the Common Stock on the five consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date of the notice of conversion (but in
no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.17 per share); and
(e) the terms of existing warrants to purchase 1,470,588 shares of our Common
Stock issued with the Note (the “Existing Warrants”)
are amended to provide additional anti-dilution protections to the Holder. In
connection with the Amendment, the Company issued the Holder new warrants to
purchase an additional 588,235 shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrants”) at an
exercise price of $0.17 per share, on terms that are substantially similar to
the Existing Warrants. Further, the Company has agreed that the net proceeds of
any sale of securities pursuant to the Company’s Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement dated September 24, 2009 with Optimus Capital Partners, LLC (or any
other equity line of credit entered into while the Note is outstanding) will be
applied on the maturity date to repay amounts outstanding under the
Note.
In
addition, Thomas A. Moore, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has agreed
that the Company will not make any payments to him on any indebtedness owed by
the Company to him for so long as any amounts due under the Note are
outstanding; however, the Company will be permitted to pay any deferred salary
currently owed to Mr. Moore (approximately $55,000) and any future salary or
other amounts payable to Mr. Moore relating to his employment by the
Company.
The
Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, the amended and restated form of
the Existing Warrants is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and the form of the New
Warrants is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3.
Item
