Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On October 25, 2016, the registrant announced that it has signed a term sheet for an investment of approximately $30,000,000 by China-based Innovative Medical Management Co., Ltd. (“Innovative Medical”), a publicly listed Chinese company active in the healthcare industry (the “Term Sheet”). The Term Sheet has been approved by Innovative Medical’s Board of Directors and is subject to its shareholders’ approval, which is expected to occur on or about November 9, 2016. Upon the approval of Innovative Medical’s shareholders, the Term Sheet will become binding. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, approximately 16,890,000 shares of the registrant’s common stock (the “Shares”) will be sold at $1.77 per share. In addition, the registrant will issue to Innovative Medical approximately 4,422,500 warrants to purchase shares of the registrant’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.50 per warrant, exercisable for a period of five years.  The Shares will be subject to a lock up agreement for 6 months after the closing of the agreement. In accordance with the Term Sheet, Innovative Medical will have the right to designate an additional director upon the closing of the agreement and, as long as it holds at least 12.5% of the registrant’s issued and outstanding stock, to designate one nominee for election at the registrant’s annual meeting of shareholders thereafter. Innovative Medical will also have certain information, registration and pre-emptive rights as well as certain negotiation rights with respect to potential transactions of the registrant in China.

 The parties plan to enter into definitive agreements no later than December 26, 2016. Until the earlier of December 26, 2016 or the entry into the definitive agreements, the registrant has agreed not to enter into any agreement or arrangement regarding equity financing of the registrant at a common stock price per share equal to or less than $2.20, without the prior written consent of Innovative Medical.

 The securities which may be sold in the proposed private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the registrant has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the registrant’s securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to those statements regarding the registrant’s proposed private placement of its common stock and warrants, the terms of such offering, the plan to enter into definitive agreements, as well the expected approval of Innovative Medical shareholders of the Term Sheet.
