EXPLANATORY NOTE
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by 180 Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2024 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), on October 16, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant inducement agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with a holder (the “Holder”) of certain of the Company’s existing warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Existing Warrants”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, the Holder agreed to exercise for cash Existing Warrants to purchase up to 950,069 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.48 per share during the period from the date of the Inducement Agreement until 1:15 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 16, 2024. In consideration of the Holder’s agreement to exercise the Existing Warrants in accordance with the Inducement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue new unregistered Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants (the “New Warrant Shares”).
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On October 16 and 17, 2024, the Existing Warrants were exercised in full for cash by the Holder and the Company received $3,306,240 before deducting financial advisory fees and other expenses payable by us. To the extent the change in the exercise price of the Existing Warrants in connection with the Inducement Agreement constituted an exchange of the Existing Warrants, such exchange was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
When issued in full, and notwithstanding any portion of the shares held in abeyance, subject to the Holder’s beneficial ownership limitation described in greater detail in the Prior Form 8-K, a total of 950,069 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the Holder upon exercise of the Existing Warrants and the Company will have a total of 1,976,999 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following such issuance.
On October 17, 2024, the Company issued the Holder New Warrants to purchase up to 1,900,138 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Agreement. The New Warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of exercise of five years.
The Company claims an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of the Securities Act for the issuance of the New Warrants since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the securities for investment and not resale, we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipient was an accredited investor. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
If exercised in full, a total of a maximum of 1,900,138 shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants.
The New Warrants are described in greater detail in the Prior Form 8-K.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Prior Form 8-K contained certain errors in that it referenced the Holder holding Existing Warrants to purchase 954,118 shares of common stock of the Company, instead of 950,069 shares of common stock and the Company raising approximately $3,320,331 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants before deducting financial advisory fees and other expenses payable by us, instead of $3,306,240, which references have been updated and corrected above.
