| Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
| Item 8.01 | Other Events |
Pursuant to an agreement between Bohai Pharmaceuticals Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. (“Euro Pacific”), on May 14, 2012, the Company repaid a portion of amounts due under its two-year 8% convertible notes, as amended (the “Notes”), in the amount of approximately $314,000, which is equivalent to the amount of the first quarter 2012 interest payment on the Notes (calculated based on an annual rate of 12% as currently provided for in the Notes). The Company will use its best efforts to repay an additional amount of approximately $731,000 due under the Notes as soon as possible, but no later than June 30, 2012. Such $314,000 and $731,000 payments are referred to herein as the “Repayment.”
The Notes were issued in a financing completed by the Company in January 2010 for which Euro Pacific acted as placement agent. Euro Pacific also acts as representative of the Note holders.
In addition, and as a result of the Company’s payment of the $314,000 portion of the Repayment as described above, on May 15, 2012, the Company and Euro Pacific entered into a Second Amendment to the Notes (the “Second Amendment”) to extend the maturity date thereof from April 5, 2012 to October 5, 2012 (such extra six month period, the “Second Extended Period”); and (ii) maintain the interest rate on the Notes at an annual rate of 12% (or 6% for the Second Extended Period). Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, if the reminder of the Repayment ($731,000) is not received and distributed to Note holders by June 30, 2012, the Second Extended Period will thereafter automatically expire and the outstanding balance of the Notes will become immediately due and payable.
A copy of the Second Amendment was attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1. The description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 4.1.
As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 11, 2012, in order to demonstrate the Company’s efforts to repay the Notes, the Company (through its Chinese subsidiary) and Euro Pacific have established an RMB denominated escrow account in China with the Rural Credit Cooperative of Laishan District, Yantai City (the “Escrow Account”) into which the Company has deposited the remaining outstanding amount of the Notes ($9.4 million, denominated in RMB). The Company will have no right to dispose of or use the funds held in the Escrow Account except for (i) conversion into US Dollars for the purpose of repayment of the Notes or (ii) releases from such Escrow Account from time to time in amounts equal to the decreases in the outstanding amount of the Notes, either by payments made by the Company or conversion of the Notes by Note holders.

WHEREAS, on January 5, 2010, the Company consummated a $12,000,000 financing (the “Offering”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) whereby the Company issued 6,000,000 units at $2.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of a $2.00 principal amount, two year convertible note (collectively, the “Notes”) and a three year common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $2.40 per share, subject to certain conditions (collectively, the “Warrants”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.8 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 5, 2010, between the Company and the Investors (the “SPA”), each Investor duly appointed the Investor Representative as such Investor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to, among other matters, waive any terms and conditions of the Notes and to be such Investor’s exclusive representative with respect to any matter, suit, claim, action or proceeding arising with respect to any transaction contemplated by the Notes and the Warrants (the “Power of Attorney”);
WHEREAS, on December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the Notes with Euro Pacific as representative of the Investors (the “First Amendment”) which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Notes from January 5, 2012 to April 5, 2012;
WHEREAS, on or about May 8, 2012, the Company established an escrow account in China (the “Escrow Account”) with Rural Credit Cooperative of Binhai, Laishan District, Yantai City and deposited into such Escrow Account an amount equal to 90% of the aggregate Principal due on the Notes (approximately US$9.4 million), denominated in Renminbi;
WHEREAS, on or about May 14, 2012, the Company paid the Investors in an aggregate amount equal to $314,000, or 3% of the aggregate Principal due on the Notes; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor Representative, exercising the Power of Attorney on behalf of the Investors, desire to further modify certain provisions of the Notes on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the SPA and the Notes, the parties hereby agree as follows:
| 1 |
1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Notes.
2. Amendments. The Investor Representative and the Company hereby amend the Notes as follows:
(a) The definition of “Maturity Date” contained in the Notes, as amended, is hereby amended to extend such Maturity Date from April 5, 2012 (two years and three months following the closing of the Minimum Amount) until October 5, 2012 (the period from April 5, 2012 to October 5, 2012 being referred to herein as the “Extended Period”), provided, however, in the event that payments in an aggregate amount equal to $ 731,000, or 7% of the aggregate Principal due on the Notes, is not distributed to and received by Noteholders by June 30, 2012, the Extended Period immediately expire and all remaining Principal and accrued interest on the Notes shall be due and payable.

(d) During the Extended Period, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to convert the funds in the Escrow Account into US Dollars in order that payments of Principal can be made. Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Company will have no right to withdraw, dispose of or use the funds contained therein except for conversion into US Dollars for the purpose of repayment of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Escrow Account to the extent that such withdrawals are in amounts equal to decreases in the outstanding Principal amount of the Notes due to either payments made by the Company from funds other than those in the Escrow Account or conversion of Notes by Investors.
