Item 1.01  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 8, 2013, OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and OPKO IP Holdings, Inc. a limited company organized under the laws of Cayman Islands, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Buyer”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Cytochroma Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario (the “Seller”), Cytochroma Holdings ULC, an unlimited liability company organized under the laws of Alberta (“Holdings”), Cytochroma Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (together with Seller and Holdings, the “Seller Parties”), Cytochroma Development Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Barbados (“Development”), Proventiv Therapeutics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Proventiv”), and Cytochroma Cayman Islands, Ltd., a limited company organized under the laws of Cayman Islands (“Cayman Newco”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer will purchase from the Seller the issued and outstanding equity securities of Cayman Newco and Proventiv for $100.0 million, which will be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Common Stock”) based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, or $4.874 per share (the “Stock Consideration”). In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company expects to issue 20,517,030 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Seller Parties at the closing.

In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of up to an additional $190.0 million to the Seller Parties in cash or additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at the Buyer’s election, upon the achievement of certain milestones relating to development and annual revenue (the “Milestone Consideration”). If the Company elects to pay any portion of the Milestone Consideration in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the amount of shares to be issued will be based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the NYSE or any other exchange system or market quotation system on which the Company is then listed for the ten trading days immediately preceding: (i) the milestone being achieved in the case of development milestones; or (ii) the earlier of the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements or the 105th day after the end of the applicable calendar year in the case of revenue milestones. In certain circumstances, the payment of the Milestone Consideration shall be made by the Company in cash, including if payment in shares of Company Common Stock would trigger an obligation to obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders under applicable securities laws or NYSE regulations. In addition, the Company has the ability to off-set the payment of any Milestone Consideration by the amount of potential Company indemnity claims under the Purchase Agreement.

The Stock Consideration and any of the Milestone Consideration which the Company elects to pay in shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
