Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation
On April 29, 2014, Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Acceleration Notice”) from each of CAMOFI Master LDC (“CAMOFI”) and CAMHZN Master LDC (“CAMHZN” and together with CAMOFI, the “Holders”) of the Holders’ declaration that the aggregate principal amount remaining under the Amortizing Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 30, 2015 issued by the Company and held by each of CAMOFI and CAMHZN (collectively, the “Notes”), subject to adjustment as set forth therein, together with any other amounts owed under the Notes (collectively, the “Owed Amount”), were immediately due and payable in accordance with their terms. The Acceleration Notice followed the delivery of a notice (the “Default Notice”) from the Holders to the Company on April 15, 2014 stating that, due to the Company’s failure to deliver shares of common stock issuable to the Holders within three days of a conversion event, an “Event of Default” under the Notes had occurred and the Holders were reserving all rights held by them arising from such Event of Default. At the time of the conversion event, the Company determined not to deliver the shares to the Holders in order to comply with applicable securities laws. The Company later delivered the shares to the Holders in compliance with applicable securities laws, prior to the delivery of the Default Notice. The right of the Holders to make a declaration of acceleration under the Notes, as well as the delivery to the Company of the Default Notice, was previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2014.
Item 8.01 Other Events
The disclosure contained in Item 2.04 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01. On May 2, 2014 the Company paid to the Holders the Owed Amount, in an aggregate amount of approximately $1,616,000 calculated in accordance with the payment acceleration provisions of the Notes and satisfying the Company’s obligations under the Notes. Upon the payment by the Company of the Owed Amount, the Company satisfied in full its obligations under the Notes and the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release dated as of December 31, 2012 pursuant to which the Notes were issued in January 2013. The Company received correspondence from the Holders stating that the Holders believe the aggregate amount due to be different than the amount the Company paid. The Company believes that its interpretation of the Notes is accurate and complete.
