Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On February 3, 2009, Bruce Meyers and Robert Seguso (jointly, the "Lenders")
funded the remaining $100,000 of a total $200,000 loan to Bioheart, Inc. (the
"Company"). The funds were delivered, net of original issue discount in the
amount of $10,000, pursuant to a terms sheet provided by Bruce Meyers, for a
convertible debt financing to be provided to the Company (the "Loan"). A copy of
the terms sheet is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. Although the terms sheet
provided that the Lenders would be provided a complete set of loan
documentation, the Lenders delivered to the Company the entire net proceeds of
the Loan, in the amount of $190,000, in advance of receiving any documentation.
The initial funding of $100,000 was made to the Company on January 21, 2009.
However, the Company determined that it would not proceed with the Loan unless
and until the Lenders funded the balance of the net proceeds which was completed
on February 3, 2009 and provided that the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the Loan, which approval was obtained on February 11, 2009.
The Loan is in the nature of convertible debt and will be evidenced by an
unsecured promissory note (the "Note"), that will be convertible into common
stock of the Company at a price that is 22.5% less than the average of the
closing bid prices for the Company's shares for the five (5) days prior to the
Lenders' election to exercise its conversion right under the Note. The Note will
bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with interest payable due at
maturity. The terms sheet provides that all unpaid interest (and principal) will
be due and payable on the date that is the earlier to occur of the first
anniversary of the closing date of the Loan or the closing of a financing in an
amount that is equal to or greater than $3 million that will satisfy the
company's obligation under its loan with BlueCrest Venture Finance Master Fund
Limited. However, the Lenders already have advised the Company of their election
to convert the entire amount of the Loan to shares of the Company's common
stock.
In addition to the Note, the Company will issue to the Lenders 200,000
unregistered and restricted shares of the Company's common stock. We believe
that the offer and sale of the securities is made only to accredited investors
and, accordingly, is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
Prior to funding the balance of the Loan, the Lenders delivered to the
Company, on January 26, 2009, a notice electing to convert $100,000 of the Loan
into shares of the Company's common stock. The price per share for such election
is $0.50995. This will require the issuance to the Lenders of 196,098
unregistered and restricted shares of the Company's common stock.
On February 3, 2009, contemporaneously with the funding of the remainder of
the Loan, the Lenders delivered to the Company notice of their election to
convert the remainder of the Loan into shares of the Company's common stock at a
price per share of $0.5704. This will require the issuance to the Lenders of
175,316 unregistered and restricted shares of the Company's common stock.
Accordingly, the aggregate number of unregistered and restricted shares of
the Company's common stock to be issued in connection with, and as a result of
the conversion of, the Loan is 571,414 shares. The Company will have no
obligation to file any registration statement with respect to the shares, except
that the Lenders will have customary "piggyback" registration rights.
