Item 1.
Securities and Issuer
 
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) on Schedule 13D is being filed to amend the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2014 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) by Digital Aria Co., Ltd. (the “Reporting Person”). This Amendment is triggered by an acquisition of Common Stock from the Issuer, as described in Item 4 below.  The Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as detailed below and, except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. 
 
The address of the Issuer’s principal executive office is 15245 Shady Grove Road, Suite 470, Rockville, MD 20850.  Information given in response to each Item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other Items as applicable.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source of funds used to purchase the shares, as described in Item 4 below, was the Reporting Person’s working capital.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

On March 7, 2014, the Reporting Person and the Issuer entered into three agreements, including two licensing agreements for the license of territorial rights to two of the Issuer’s Thymosin Beta 4 (“Tβ4”)-based products candidates, RGN-259 and RGN-137 (collectively, the “License Agreements”).  The third agreement is a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) under which the Reporting Person agreed to purchase up to $2,350,000 of Common Stock and received an option to purchase an additional $825,000 of Common Stock, over the ensuing eleven months.

Under the License Agreements, the Reporting Person received certain development and commercialization rights for RGN-137 and RGN-259, and the Reporting Person may be required to make milestone payments to the Issuer upon the achievement of certain development milestones, as well as royalty payments with respect to any commercial sales in the licensed territories.  Under License Agreements, the Issuer is eligible to receive aggregate potential milestone payments of up to $3.5 million.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person committed to purchase $2.35 million of Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.12 per share.  Of the $2.35 million, the Reporting Person agreed to purchase $1.35 million by March 28, 2014 and to purchase $1.0 million by August 31, 2014.  The Reporting Person also received the right to purchase an additional 5.5 million shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share (for an aggregate potential purchase price of $825,000) until January 31, 2015.  Retention of the licensed rights by the Reporting Person under the License Agreements requires the completion of the committed Common Stock purchases on the above timelines.
 
On March 28, 2014, in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person purchased 11,250,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.35 million.  The Reporting Person intends to hold the Common Stock of the Issuer acquired on March 28, 2014, as well as any additional shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, for investment purposes.

Except as indicated above, the Reporting Person does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person reserves its right to change its plans and intentions in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4, including, among others, the purchase price and the financing arrangement for the transactions contemplated under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any action taken by the Reporting Person may be effected at any time and from time to time, subject to any applicable limitations imposed by any applicable laws.

As a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 25,083,333 shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof, representing beneficial ownership of 23.5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock. None of the individuals listed on Schedule I hereto (each a “Listed Individual”) separately beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

Of the 25,083,333 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all of such shares.
