Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities,


Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 14, 2009, COPsync, Inc. (the "Company") completed a private placement of its equity securities in which the Company received approximately $1.5 million in gross proceeds and commitments. The private placement was completed pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 14, 2009 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company and the purchasers named on the signature pages thereto (the "Investors"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 375,000 shares of the Company's newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 ("Series B Stock"), which Series B Stock is convertible in an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 ("Common Stock"), or 40 shares of Common Stock per share of Series B Stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The Series B Stock and the Warrants were sold as a unit, with each Investor receiving eight Warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock for every shares of Series B Stock purchased by such Investor. The purchase price for each unit was $4.00 per share of Series B Stock purchased. The Company has received $1,450,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of the Series B Stock and Warrants as of the date of this report. With the Company's agreement, one of the Investors invested $50,000 out of his $100,000 commitment on October 14, 2009, with the remaining $50,000 to be invested no later than December 31, 2009. That Investor has received 12,500 shares of Series B Stock, with the remaining 12,500 shares to be issued upon the investment of the remaining $50,000.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for private placements of preferred stock. The Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and the description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified by reference to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.20 per share of Common Stock, and expire on October 14, 2011, the date two years after the issuance of the Warrants. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment (under formulae set forth in the Warrants) upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to: (i) stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits; (ii) the payment of dividends on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (iii) a recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification involving the Common Stock, or a consolidation or merger of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. The form of Warrant is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2, and the description of the Warrants contained herein is qualified by reference to the terms of the form of Warrant.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors entered into an Investors' Rights Agreement, dated October 14, 2009, (the "Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to effect one registration with the SEC of the resale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock and upon the exercise of the Warrants, upon the request of the holders of a majority of those shares after the second anniversary of the date of the Rights Agreement. The Rights Agreement also provides for the Investors to have "piggyback" registration rights to include their shares in future registrations with the SEC by the Company of the issuance or sale of its securities. An Investor's right to request a registration or inclusion in a registration terminates on the date that such Investor may immediately sell all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants under Rule 144 or Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Rights Agreement also grants to the Investors a right of first refusal to purchase all, but not less than all, of certain new securities the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell after the date of the Rights Agreement. The Rights Agreement contains certain covenants relating to the Company's Board of Directors and requiring the Company to retain patent counsel.

The Rights Agreement contains other covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for similar rights agreements entered into in connection with . . .

Item 8.01 Other Events

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were prepared assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern. As detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2009 (the "Form 10-K"), the Company had not established revenues significant enough to cover its operating expenses, had a working capital deficit and was dependent on financing to continue operations. As a result, the Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm included in the Form 10-K included a paragraph with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


Reference is made to the disclosure provided in response to Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K with respect to the issuance to the Investors by the Company of 375,000 shares of Series B Stock and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock for approximately $1.5 million in gross proceeds, which disclosure is incorporated herein by this reference.

As a result of the transaction described above, the Company's independent accountant has updated its report relating to the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 to remove the explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The press release announcing the receipt of this updated report is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. This report is being filed for the purpose of amending Note 3 and Note 11 to the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and to file an updated Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm without an explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. A copy of the updated Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
