ITEM 1.01     ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On December 28, 2010, Genesis Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a private placement offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to which it entered into Private Placement Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with accredited investors providing for the issuance and sale of 595,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) for a purchase price of $595,000.00. The Subscription Agreements granted the investors “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the Shares, pursuant to which the Company agreed, with specified exceptions, to register the Shares in the event the Company determines to register its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.02     UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

The information called for by this item is contained in Item 1.01, which is incorporated herein by reference. The common stock issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements was issued in reliance on the exemptions from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  Each investor represented to the Company that such investor was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Regulation D, and the offering did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
