Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On April 29, 2024, Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K, that the Company had entered into a binding term sheet with Mosaic ImmunoEngineering, Inc. (“Mosaic”) on April 26, 2024. Amongst other items, the term sheet was set to expire 90 days from the date of the term sheet and contained a term for the possible reverse merger of Mosaic with Oncotelic under certain circumstances (the “Proposed Transaction”).

 

A copy of the binding term sheet was included as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K mentioned above.

 

Subsequently, the Company reported, as a subsequent event, on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2024, the extension of the term contained in the binding term sheet to December 31, 2024 to complete the Proposed Transaction.

 

On December 31, 2024, the Company and Mosaic decided to pursue the Proposed Transaction, in the best interests of both companies, and mutually agreed to further extend the date of the Proposed Transaction to no later than June 30, 2025: although there are no guarantees we will enter into any definitive agreement. A copy of the term extension letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
