Purchase Agreement with Special Situations Technology Funds, L.P. “(Special Situations”) and other Accredited Investors
On June 10, 2013, Visualant, Inc. (“Visualant” or the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement, Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Voting Agreement (the “Transaction”) with Special Situations and forty other accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a total of $5,230,000, which amount includes the conversion of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company owed to one of its officers. As part of the Transaction which closed June 14, 2013, the Company issued to the Investors (i) five year Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share; and (ii) five year Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share. Since the Company currently has an insufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to permit the exercise of all of the Warrants, the Warrants were issued subject to authorization and approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company by its stockholders at a special meeting of the stockholders to be held in August 2013.

The Company paid legal fees and expenses in the amount of $35,000 to a law firm for Special Situations in connection with the Transaction. The Company paid sales commission and expenses of $466,600 to GVC Capital LLC and issued 5,230,000 placement agent warrants at $0.10 and 5,230,000 placement agent warrants ex at $0.15.
In anticipation of the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company has received commitments from 54% of its stockholders, including the Investors, to approve an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to no less than 500,000,000.
