Item 8.01.
Other Events.
 
On November 19, 2018, Innovate Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter and draft complaint that, to the Company’s knowledge, has not been filed in any court, regarding a former consultant to the Company who was paid-up in cash and stock for his services, demanding damages of up to approximately $3.6 million plus punitive damages in connection with a delay in such consultant’s ability and timing to exercise options and sell shares of the Company’s common stock related to past consulting services. The Company strongly denies any wrongdoing alleged in the threatened litigation and firmly believes the allegations in the complaint are entirely without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously.
