On May 10, 2017 the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Intrexon pursuant to which the Company issued a $2.4 million unsecured non-convertible promissory note to Intrexon and amended the first milestone in its Oral Mucositis ECC with Intrexon. The note matures in two (2) years and has a simple interest rate of 12% per annum. Proceeds from the note will be used to fund the Company’s AG013 research and clinical trials.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid $-0- and $524,620 respectively; and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 we paid $253,646 and $1,187,021 respectively, to Intrexon under the Oral Mucositis and Lantibiotic ECC agreements (See Note 8). Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $894,922 and $524,620, respectively, related to unpaid invoices received from Intrexon relating to work performed under the ECC Agreements and accrued interest relating to unpaid invoices and the unsecured non-convertible promissory note. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016 Intrexon beneficially owned approximately 31.4% and 31.5% of our outstanding common stock.

On June 27, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its consumer probiotics business to ProBiora Health, LLC, (“ProBiora Health”) an entity owned by Ms. Christine L.

The note accrued interest at the rate of 1% per annum and was paid in full on July 29, 2016. In connection with the sale, ProBiora Health assumed certain liabilities.
