Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 9, 2025, Serina Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into an unsecured convertible note (the "Convertible Note") with Gregory H. Bailey, M.D., a member of the Company's Board of Directors, making available to the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million.
Under the Convertible Note, borrowings may be drawn in the discretion of the Company in five tranches tied to certain clinical and operational milestones, provided that if at the time the Company achieves a milestone the Company does not have sufficient cash available to cover projected costs and expenses to achieve the next milestone, then the Company will be required to draw such deficiency. The five tranches correspond to the five following milestones: (i) up to $5 million on or before September 30, 2025; (ii) up to $2.5 million on or after December 15, 2025 upon enrollment of the first patient in the Company's SER-252-1b registrational clinical study; (iii) up to $2.5 million upon enrollment of the second patient in the study; (iv) up to $5 million on or after March 15, 2026, upon dosing of the last patient in Cohort 1 of the study; and (v) up to $5 million on or after April 30, 2026, upon dosing of the first patient in Cohort 2 of the study ("Milestone 5").
Borrowings under the Convertible Note bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, initially payable in cash on the first anniversary of the initial funding and on a quarterly basis after. The Convertible Note contains customary events of default, including an additional 2% of default interest following an event of default, and has a maturity date of five years after the initial funding date. The Company can prepay the Convertible Note at any time with no penalty. The Company is required to repay all obligations outstanding under the Convertible Note in cash in the event of certain liquidity events or a change of control of the Company, all as defined in the Convertible Note.
The Convertible Note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Serina common stock, at any time until the maturity date at a conversion price of $5.18 per share. The conversion price is subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization, or other similar transaction.
Borrowings under the Convertible Note constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to all indebtedness of the Company expressly subordinated to the Convertible Note, and pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company. The Company may incur additional indebtedness that is junior to the Convertible Note without restriction, but under the Convertible Note the Company may not incur additional indebtedness that is senior or pari passu in right of payment to the Convertible Note without the prior written consent of the holder(s) of the Convertible Note.
Under the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to issue warrants for the purchase of shares of the Common Stock on each funding date in an amount equal to 100% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the funds extended by the investors on such funding date. Such warrants will have an exercise price equal to $5.44 per share. The warrants expire on the earlier of sixty days following the achievement of Milestone 5 or September 30, 2026, unless stockholder approval has not been obtained as described below.
Under the Convertible Note and the form of warrant, the Company will not issue shares of common stock combined in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of September 9, 2025, without first obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the rules of the NYSE American Stock Exchange, and the Company agreed to include a proposal to obtain such approval at the Company's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. The expiration date of the warrants will be extended to at least sixty days following the date of such stockholder approval, if applicable.
