| ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
From August 8, 2012 through August 28, 2012, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., or the Company, entered into several Securities Purchase Agreements with a number of investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the investors an aggregate of 9,689,709 units at a purchase price of $0.37 per unit for total consideration of $3,585,192. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 0.50 of a share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Company will pay cash consideration of $87,508 as finder's fees in connection with the private placement. The investors were granted customary registration rights with respect to resales of shares, including the shares underlying the warrants. In addition, one of the investors, holding approximately 11% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (following completion of the private placement but not including outstanding warrants), was granted the right to maintain its percentage of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding by purchasing more shares whenever the Company proposes to issue certain additional shares to other investors. Such right only exists so long as such investor holds at least 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. In addition, such investor’s warrants will also contain certain anti-dilution and cashless exercise provisions not contained in the other investors’ warrants.
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
See Item 1.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference. On August 22, 2012, the Company consummated the issuances of 6,987,006 of the units described in Item 1.01 above for aggregate consideration of $2,585,192. The issuances of such units were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because they constituted an "offshore transaction" under Regulation S thereunder.
ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
On August 28, 2012, the Company and Dr. Miriam Kidron, the Company's Chief Medical and Technology Officer and a director, entered into an amendment to Dr. Kidron's warrant, extending the term of the warrant for approximately an additional two years. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the warrant, which is exercisable into 3,361,360 shares of the Company's common stock, will expire on August 6, 2014. The other terms and provisions of the warrant remained unchanged.
