ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On March 23, 2012, Oragenics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange of Notes for Equity Agreement (the “Debt Exchange Agreement”) with the Koski Family Limited Partnership (“KFLP”), an accredited investor and the Company’s largest shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 6,285,619 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,571,405 shares of common stock to the KFLP in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of $8,737,011 of indebtedness owed to the KFLP under the Company’s existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility) with the KFLP. The outstanding indebtedness, consisted of $8,250,000 in principal owed on twelve separate promissory notes previously issued by the Company to the KFLP under the Credit Facility and accrued interest through March 23, 2012 (the closing date) of $487,011. The Credit Facility was terminated and the previously issued promissory notes thereunder were cancelled. The warrants are exercisable immediately at a price per share of $2.00 and expire three (3) years from the date of issuance.

On March 23, 2012, the Company also entered into a new loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with the KFLP. It provides the Company with up to $2.5 million in secured funding in two advances of $1,250,000 each with the first advance occurring on March 23, 2012 and the second advance able to be made within 30 days thereafter, subject to the continued accuracy of representations and warranties made by the Company and that no material adverse events have occurred in connection with the Company’s business. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement mature in three years and bear interest at the rate of 5.0% and are secured by select assets of the Company relating to or connected with the ProBiora3, SMaRT Replacement Therapy, MU1140 and LPT3-04 technologies. The loan amount is subject to automatic conversion upon a subsequent qualified equity financing by the Company of $5,000,000 (excluding any converted debt amount). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement the Company also issued a warrant to the KFLP to acquire 599,520 shares of the Company common stock. The warrants are exercisable immediately at a price per share of $2.00 and expire three (3) years from the date of issuance.

Since Company directors Christine L. Koski and Robert C. Koski, share voting and investment powers with two other family members as general partners of the KFLP, the Debt Exchange Agreement and the Loan Agreement were approved by the Company’s disinterested directors.
