Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 13, 2018, Oragenics, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Oragenics” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of units for gross proceeds of $12 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.

The offering is comprised of 2,636,000 Class A Units, priced at a public offering price of $1.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a seven-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, and 9,364,000 Class B Units, priced at a public offering price of $1.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Series D Preferred stock, having a conversion price of $1.00, and a seven-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The preferred stock issued in this transaction includes a beneficial ownership blocker but has no dividend rights (except to the extent that dividends are also paid on the common stock), liquidation preference or other preferences over common stock, and has no voting rights. The securities comprising the units are immediately separable and will be issued separately. The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about July 17, 2018, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

A total of 2,636,000 shares of common stock, 9,364,000 shares of Series D preferred stock and total warrants to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of common stock will be issued in the offering. In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,800,000 additional shares of common stock and/or additional warrants to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price per share and per warrant, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from this offering to continue funding development of AG013, our ongoing Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Oral Mucositis, our pre-clinical development of our lantibiotics program and for general corporate purposes, including research and development activities, capital expenditures and working capital. All of the shares in the offering are to be sold by the Company.
