Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Registered Direct Financing

 

On October 4, 2012, Vringo, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Subscription Agreements with several investors with respect to the registered direct offer and sale by the Company of an aggregate of 10,344,998 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $4.35 per share in a privately negotiated transaction in which no party is acting as an underwriter or placement agent. The sale of the Shares is expected to settle on or about October 9, 2012. The net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $44.9 million after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate working capital purposes.

 

The sale and issuance of the Shares is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated October 4, 2012 and an accompanying prospectus dated August 2, 2012, pursuant to the Company’s existing effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-182823), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 24, 2012 and declared effective by the Commission on August 2, 2012.

 

A copy of the opinion of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the sale of the Shares by the Company and the documentation related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibits.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
