Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On September 11, 2009, Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the “Company”) and accredited investors entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
 
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of 15,312,500 shares of its common stock (“Shares”) and warrants exercisable for up to 5,053,125 shares of its common stock (“Warrants”) to the investors.  The purchase price per Share is $0.80, and the exercise price per share of the Warrants is $1.00.  The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years commencing 183 days after the closing date.  The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct public offering, after deducting placement agent fees and its estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $11,660,000. The transaction closed on September 14, 2009.
 
The Shares and the Warrants will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2009, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-139637), as amended, which became effective on February 23, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement”).
 
On June 8, 2009, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement with Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“Midtown”), as amended by agreements dated August 5, August 18, and September 11, 2009.  On September 11, 2009, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim).  Pursuant to the placement agency agreements, Midtown and Maxim agreed to act as the Company’s placement agents in respect of the forgoing transaction.  The Company will pay to each of Midtown and Maxim a cash fee in the aggregate amount of $245,000.  This fee represents 4% of the gross purchase price paid for the Shares and Warrants at the closing by investors introduced to the transaction by Midtown or Maxim, as the case may be, and 2% of the gross purchase price paid for the Shares and Warrants at the closing which were not introduced to the transaction by a registered broker-dealer.  In addition, the Company will issue to each of Midtown and Maxim, or their permitted assigns, a five-year warrant to purchase up to 253,571 shares of common stock of the Company representing (A) 2.5% of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company issued at the closing to investors introduced to the transaction by Midtown or Maxim, as the case may be, and (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable by the Company upon exercise of all warrants issued at the closing to investors introduced to the transaction by Midtown or Maxim, as the case may be, and (B) 1.25% of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company issued at the closing to investors which were not introduced to the transaction by a registered broker-dealer, and (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable by the Company upon exercise of all warrants issued at the closing to investors which were not introduced to the transaction by a registered broker-dealer. The shares underlying the placement agent warrants will be issued pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement. The placement agent warrants provide for cashless exercise in the event there is no registration statement covering the underlying warrant shares, and the exercise price per share is $1.00.  The Company may also reimburse the placement agents for expenses (other than legal fees and FINRA fees) reasonably incurred in connection with this offering.
 
The foregoing summaries of the terms of the placement agency agreements, the form of warrant issued to the investors, the form of the warrant issued to the placement agents and the securities purchase agreement are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 1.2, 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the registered direct public offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
