Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information regarding the Promissory Note, Guaranty, Transition Services Agreement and Sublease set forth in Item 2.01 below are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 24, 2016, Oragenics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Oragenics”) completed the previously announced sale of the assets comprising the Company’s Consumer Probiotic Business (“CPB Assets”). The sale of the CPB Assets was made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) dated June 22, 2016 with ProBiora Health, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”). The transaction was approved by a special committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of disinterested directors and Griffin Securities rendered a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction. The Purchaser is an entity owned by Ms. Christine L. Koski, a director of the Company since 2009 and a significant shareholder through the Koski Family Limited Partnership.

Pursuant to the APA, the aggregate purchase price was $1,700,000 of which $1,250,000 was paid in cash at closing and $450,000 is to be payable on or before July 31, 2016. The APA also provides that the Purchaser will be obligated to pay the Company contingent consideration in amounts calculated at five percent (5%) of Purchaser’s Contribution Margin on sales of products which utilize the Purchased Assets in excess of two million dollars ($2,000,000), annually, by Purchaser. “Contribution Margin” for this purpose is calculated gross revenue from sales of products utilizing the Purchased Assets less cost of goods sold, credit card processing fees, sales tax, shipping costs, coupons, returns, allowances, and direct and indirect sales commissions paid by Purchaser. The aggregate contingent consideration is capped at two million dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Contingent Consideration Cap”), payable over the Contingent Consideration Period. The Contingent Consideration Period runs from the termination of the 90 day transition services period until the earlier of: (i) achieving the Contingent Consideration Cap, or (ii) December 31, 2025. There is no minimum contingent consideration payable by Purchaser.

At closing, the Purchaser delivered an unsecured promissory note to the Company in the principal amount of $450,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The interest rate on the Promissory Note is one percent (1%) per annum calculated for the number of days the unpaid portion of the purchase price remains outstanding after closing and the Promissory Note is personally guaranteed by Ms. Koski (the “Guaranty”).

The parties also entered into a Transition Services Agreement upon closing of the sale pursuant to which for a period of up to 90 days the Company will provide Purchaser with transition assistance services in exchange for payments equaling three percent (3%) of the net sales of Probiora3 products sold during the term of the transition services agreement. The Transition Services Agreement also provides for the deferral of payment under the promissory note until such time that the Company provides certain deliverables to the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Company also entered into a Sublease pursuant to which the Purchaser is subleasing certain excess space from the Company.

The foregoing description of the APA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 23, 2016, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing descriptions of the Promissory Note, Guaranty, Transition Services Agreement and Sublease are qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 respectively.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officer; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officer.

Effective on June 24, 2016, Ms. Koski resigned as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
