Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 10, 2013, Competitive Technologies, Inc. (“CTTC” or the Company) entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the Equity Purchase Agreement), with Southridge Partners II, L.P. (Southridge). The Equity Purchase Agreement replaces and supersedes the agreement entered into on February 25, 2013.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Southridge will purchase, at the Company's election, up to $10,000,000 of the Company's registered common stock (the "Shares"). During the two year term of the Purchase Agreement, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion deliver a "put notice" to Southridge thereby requiring Southridge to purchase a certain dollar amount of the Shares. Simultaneous with the delivery of such Shares, Southridge shall deliver payment for the Shares. Subject to certain restrictions, the purchase price for the Shares shall be equal to ninety percent of the lowest closing bid price for the Company's common stock during the ten-day trading period immediately after the Shares specified in the Put Notice are delivered to Southridge.
The number of Shares sold to Southridge shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock of the Company then beneficially owned by Southridge, would result in Southridge owning more than 9.99% of all of the Company's common stock then outstanding. Additionally, Southridge may not execute any short sales of the Company's common stock.
