Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On May 22, 2023, Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into Stock Purchase Agreements (each, a “Purchase Agreement”) with two accredited investor (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a private placement a total of 11,000 shares of Series J convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series J Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,100,000. Under each Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to provide the Investors with certain registration rights related to the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) issuable upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock.
 
The Company filed a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware designating the rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock on May 22, 2022. The Certificate of Designation authorizes 150,000 shares of Series J Preferred Stock.
 
The Series J Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the original issuance price divided by $0.104, subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. However, the holder may not convert shares of the Series J Preferred Stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time unless the holder of Series J Preferred Stock obtains the prior written consent of the Company (which consent the Company may withhold in its sole absolute discretion).
 
Except with respect to transactions which may adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series J Preferred Stock, the Series J Preferred Stock has no voting rights. If dividends are declared on the Common Stock, the holder of Series J Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the dividend declared on one share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series J Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date, without regard to any conversion limitations.
 
Upon any liquidation, the holder of Series J Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any assets may be distributed to the holders of Common Stock, an amount per share of Series J Preferred Stock calculated by taking the total amount available for distribution to holders of all of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock divided by the total of (x) all of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock plus (y) all of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which all of the outstanding shares of the Series J Preferred Stock can be converted, and then (z) multiplying the sum so obtained by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series J Preferred Stock could then be converted.
 
The above descriptions of the Purchase Agreements and the Series J Preferred Stock do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreements and the Certificate of Designation, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 3.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
