Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 21, 2017, Enumeral Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed an auction process pursuant to which the Company has sold all of the equipment related to its research and development activities. The Company sold this laboratory equipment in connection with its previously announced decision to eliminate its research and development function. The Company expects to receive cash proceeds in the range of $265,000 to $290,000, net of auction expenses, from the sale of this equipment. Each piece of equipment was sold to the highest bidder in the auction, and there is no material relationship between any of the purchasers of the equipment and the Company, or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer. As a result of this laboratory equipment sale, the Company expects to incur a loss on disposal of fixed assets in the range of $300,000 to $325,000 during the three month period ending June 30, 2017.

The Company is continuing to explore all available strategic alternatives. As of the date of this filing, and after giving effect to the net proceeds from the equipment sale referenced above, as well as the headcount reductions previously announced and other cost reduction efforts, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to continue to explore strategic alternatives only into July 2017.

If the Company is unable to effect a strategic transaction or raise additional capital on a timely basis in the near term, the Company will be required to further downsize or wind down its operations through liquidation, bankruptcy, or a sale of its remaining assets.

Item 2.05

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

The information contained in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
