Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth under Item 8.01 in this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
The issuance of the Restricted Shares, Warrant and the shares of common stock that may be issuable upon conversion of the Warrant (the “Securities”) were made to an accredited investor in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as provided in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offering of the Securities was not conducted in connection with a public offering, and no public solicitation nor advertisement was made or relied upon by the investor in connection with the offering.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 9, 2024, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Registrant,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Calidi”) entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Dr. Elliot Lander, Saralee Berman, as Trustee of the Mark Howard Berman and Saralee Turrell Berman Living Trust, successor in interest to the Estate of Dr. Mark Berman, and Cell Surgical Network, Inc. (the “physicians”) in connection with a dispute relating to certain stock options and the termination of that certain partnership agreement and related agreements (the “Dispute”).
On March 14, 2022, the physicians filed a lawsuit (Lander v. Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Diego), seeking, among other claims, declaratory relief and claiming that the stock options granted to them pursuant to the partnership agreement, have not expired and remain exercisable by the physicians. The physicians claimed that 1,248,600 in vested stock options were valid and exercisable, even though the physicians did not provide any services to Calidi since the March 21, 2018, termination date.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as consideration for a full release and discharge of claims, and dismissal of claims by the parties, we agreed to provide to the physicians the following: (a) the issuance of 200,000 restricted shares of our common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) and (b) the issuance of 400,000 warrants to purchase Restricted Shares, which (i) has an exercise price equal to $1.32; and (ii) are exercisable for 5 years after the date of issuance of the warrants, subject to the terms set forth in such warrant (the “Warrant”). In addition, the physicians were granted piggy-back rights with respect to the Restricted Shares and any shares issued pursuant to any Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) that were granted by the Settlement Agreement. However, we have the right to refuse to register the Restricted Shares and Warrant Shares if it determines, in our sole discretion based on commercially reasonable grounds, that the inclusion of the Restricted Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to piggy-back rights will adversely affect our ability to raise capital from such registration statement.
