Abeona Therapeutics LLC Acquisition

On May 15, 2015, we agreed to issue an aggregate of 3,979,761 unregistered shares of our common stock to the members of Abeona Therapeutics LLC (Abeona Ohio). Abeona Ohio’s principal activities were focused on developing and delivering gene therapy products for severe and life-threatening rare diseases. Abeona Ohio's lead program is ABO-101 (AA9 NAGLU) and ABO-102 (scAAV9 SGHG), adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies for Sanfilippo syndrome (MPS IIIA and IIIB) in collaboration with patient advocate groups, researchers and clinicians, anticipated to commence clinical trials in 2015.

The initial consideration of $31,758,000 was calculated using the Company’s stock price on date of the closing, May 15, 2015 of $7.98 times the number of the Company shares (3,979,761) issued to Abeona Ohio members.

There is a contingent valuation on three milestones. Per the merger agreement with Abeona Ohio each milestone would consist of either cash, our stock or a combination of both, at the Company’s election, equivalent to a stated dollar amount. The fair value of the probability of achieving all three milestones is estimated at $6,489,000.
