SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On October 21, 2013, we jointly announced with Xenetic Biosciences plc (“XEN”) that XEN was filing a Part 8 Claim with the High Court in London as the first step in the process of obtaining approvals which would allow us to make an all share offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of XEN. The documents to be filed with the Court will include references to our Company; however, currently we have only entered into non-binding discussions with XEN with a view toward potentially making an all-share offer for XEN in the near future. There can be no assurance that any such offer will be made, or if made, will be accepted. This action is merely a preliminary step in the acquisition process.

 

A copy of the published announcement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 9.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
