Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Loan Commitment Letter

On April 18, 2017, Oragenics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Intrexon Corporation (“Intrexon”) one of our largest shareholders and our partner on certain of our development programs. The Commitment Letter provides for Intrexon to make an unsecured non-convertible loan (the “Loan”) to the Company in the principal amount of $2.4 million. The Loan would be repayable within 24 months and carry an interest rate of 12% per annum. The funds from the Loan would be used to fund our AG013 research and clinical trials. The Loan under the Commitment Letter is conditioned upon the Company obtaining other financing of least $2.7 million and other customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
