Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 

On October 26, 2016, Nemus Bioscience, Inc. (the "Company") entered into Lock Up Agreements (“Lock-Up Agreements”), with each of the Company’s officers and directors, including Brian S. Murphy, Elizabeth M. Berecz, Cosmas N. Lykos, Gerald W. McLaughlin, Thomas A. George and Douglas S. Ingram (collectively, the “Lock-Up Stockholders”), as a condition to, and to be effective, on the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and certain investors on October 26, 2016 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Lock-Up Agreements provide that each of the Lock-Up Stockholders have agreed to refrain from selling shares of the Company’s common stock from the date of the Lock-up Agreements and to the date that is ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) the date that one or more registration statement covering the resale of all the shares of common stock underlying the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock sold pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement has been effective and available for the re-sale of all such securities and (ii) the date all the shares of common stock underlying the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock sold pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement are eligible for sale without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Lock-Up Agreements, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On October 26, 2016, the Company closed the sale of 500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) to certain accredited investors (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, all as amended, collectively, the “Purchasers”) at an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 (the “Financing”), or $1,000 for each Preferred Share pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The designations, preferences and relative rights of the of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are specified in the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, a description of which is provided below in Item 5.03.

As part of the terms of the Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Preferred Shares, within 30 calendar days following the closing of the Financing. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the registration statement does not become effective within certain time periods set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company would be required to pay the Purchasers in the Financing an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Preferred Shares every month until such time as the registration statement becomes effective or the shares of common stock underlying the Preferred Shares sold in the Financing may be sold by the Purchasers pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of Securities Purchase Agreement, and the form of Registration Rights Agreement, attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 26, 2016, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Preferred Shares issued at the closing of the Financing, were offered and issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Purchasers represented to the Company that each was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Regulation D and the Financing did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 26, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of Nevada to create a series of preferred stock consisting of five hundred (500) out of the twenty million (20,000,000) shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, which will be designated "Series C Convertible Preferred Stock." The Certificate of Designation was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on October 25, 2016. The Certificate of Designation provides, among other things, that:

	·	The Preferred Shares have a stated value of $1,000 per share (“Stated Value”) and are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.40.
	·	The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock include customary provisions including anti-dilution protection, rights upon a fundamental transaction and adjustments for dividends and purchase rights.
	·	The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock includes a “most favored nation” provision which provides that as long as the Purchasers hold any of the Preferred Shares, if the Company issues any new securities in a private placement or public offering (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Investors may exchange all of the Preferred Shares at their Stated Value for the securities issued in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms of such Subsequent Financing.
	·	The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has a limitation on conversion into common stock to preclude the holder from acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, which may be increased to 9.99% in certain circumstances.

This brief description of the Certificate of Designation is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation as attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
