As previously disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 6, 2021, Advaxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Advaxis”), Advaxis Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Advaxis (“Merger Sub”) and Biosight, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Biosight”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”).

Subsequently, on November 16, 2021, Advaxis convened its Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The purpose of the Special Meeting was described in Advaxis’ definitive proxy statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2021 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”). The Special Meeting was adjourned to December 7, 2021 to solicit additional proxies to vote in favor of the proposals described in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

On December 7, 2021, Advaxis reconvened its Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Reconvened Special Meeting”). As previously disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 7, 2021, the Reconvened Special Meeting was adjourned to December 16, 2021 to solicit additional proxies to vote in favor of Proposal No. 2 – Reverse Stock Split Proposal (“Proposal No. 2”) and Proposal No. 3 – the Corporate Name Change Proposal (“Proposal No. 3”), as described in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

On December 16, 2021, Advaxis reconvened its Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Second Reconvened Special Meeting”). As previously disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 17, 2021, Advaxis’ stockholders did not approve Proposal No. 2 or Proposal No. 3. Approval of Proposal No. 2 was necessary for Advaxis to issue the merger consideration to the Biosight Shareholders. Accordingly, the Advaxis stockholder approval, which was a condition to the obligations of each party under the Merger Agreement, was not obtained.

On December 30, 2021, Advaxis delivered a letter to Biosight pursuant to which Advaxis terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iv) of the Merger Agreement (the “Termination Letter”), effective immediately. A copy of the Termination Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
