Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Securities Purchase Agreement

On July 15, 2015, and July 28, 2015, Innovus Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”), entered into Securities Purchase Agreements, each in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with one (1) accredited investor (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company will receive aggregate gross proceeds up to $500,000.00 (the “Offering”) pursuant to which it sold:

(i) Notes. Two (2) Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company, each in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3, each in the principal amount of $275,000.00 (each a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”) (the Notes were sold at a 10% original issue discount, and the Company received an aggregate total of $500,000.00 in funds thereunder). The Notes and accrued interest are convertible into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. The maturity date of the first Note is August 15, 2016, and the maturity date of the second Note is August 28, 2016. The Notes bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date of issuance until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in such Note, the principal amount outstanding of each Note shall automatically double and the conversion price shall adjust as detailed in the Note.

The Company may prepay the Notes at any time on the terms set forth in the Notes at the rate of 115% of the then outstanding balance of the Notes. Under the terms of the Notes, the Company shall not effect certain corporate and business actions during the term of the Notes, although some may be done with proper notice. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with certain exceptions, the Note holder has a right of participation during the term of the Notes; additionally, the Company granted the Note holder piggy-back registration rights for the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes.

(ii) Issuance Shares. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 750,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to the Buyer as additional consideration for the purchase of the Notes by the Buyer (the “Issuance Shares”).

(iii) Warrant. Concurrent with the signing of the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to the Buyer, which allows it to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30. A copy of the Warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.4.

(iv) Registration Rights. In addition, a Registration Rights Agreement was signed that commits the Company to file an Initial Registration Statement within 45 calendar days day following the sale, and receipt of proceeds, of an aggregate of $500,000 of Notes to the Buyer and/or third party investors on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the form Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.5.

(v) Share Issuance Agreement. As further consideration for the purchase of the Note by the Buyer and the fact the Buyer was an early investor, the Company issue the Buyer an additional 500,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to the Buyer pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement dated July 27, 2015 (the “Share Issuance Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.6.

The shares of Common Stock, including the shares underlying the Notes, issued in the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506(b)) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The Company agreed to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes. The Buyer agreed to allow the Company to raise a total of $1,500,000.00 on the same terms and conditions as the Offering.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Garden State Securities, Inc., who acted as a placement agent for the Offering, a cash fee of 10% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and issue it that number of shares of common stock equal to 8% of the number of shares that the Notes are convertible into at the Conversion Price on an as converted basis.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and the investors which are customary for transactions of this type such as, with respect to the Company: organization, good standing and qualification to do business; capitalization; subsidiaries, authorization and enforceability of the transaction and transaction documents; valid issuance of stock, consents being obtained or not required to consummate the transaction; litigation; compliance with securities laws; and no brokers used; and with respect to the investors: authorization, accredited investor status and investment intent.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the forms of the Purchase Agreement, Note, Share Issuance Agreement, and Registration Rights Agreement which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 through 4.4 to this Current Report, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).
