Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 13, 2013, Cancer Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., as representative of the underwriters named on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 1,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Underwriters at a price of $10.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Also pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to 225,000 additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The sale to the Underwriters is expected to close on August 19, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

The shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-189117) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2013.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, each director and executive officer of the Company has entered into an agreement with the Underwriters not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Company during the 90-day period following the offering, subject to extension in certain circumstances. The Company is also restricted in its ability to sell securities during such 90-day period.

The net proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $13.5 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and assuming no exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for the following: to repay certain outstanding indebtedness; to fund its joint venture with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research; to hire additional sales and marketing personnel and increase sales and marketing activities; to fund further research and development, potential regulatory submissions, and the potential commercial launch of proprietary tests and potential collaborations; and to fund other working capital needs.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the Company. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the Commission.

 

Item 3.01 Transfer of Listing.

On August 14, 2013, the Company’s common stock will begin trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CGIX.” In connection with this listing, the Company’s common stock will cease trading on the OTC QB.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 13, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the offering described above. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
