Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported in the
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Aditxt, Inc. (the “Company”) on December 28, 2021, the Company and AiPharma Group Ltd.
(“AiPharma Group”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) on December
28, 2021 pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed that it would acquire AiPharma
Group in a two-step transaction upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions to closing. As previously reported in the
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 5, 2022, the Company and AiPharma Group entered into an Amendment to the Share
Exchange Agreement (the “First Amendment”) which amended the Share Exchange Agreement to, among other things: (i) modify
the financial statements required to be delivered by AiPharma Group at the initial closing to include the unaudited financial statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, (ii) permit the Company to amend its Certificate of Incorporation without the consent
of AiPharma Group in order to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, if necessary, in order to maintain its
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (iii) make certain other conforming changes to the transaction documents.
On June 10, 2022, the Company
and AiPharma Group entered into a Second Amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) which amended
the Share Exchange Agreement to remove Section 5.2 of the Share Exchange Agreement, which contained certain covenants of the Company to
obtain consent from AiPharma Group prior to taking certain actions, including but not limited to: (i) amending, modifying or supplementing
the Company’s organizational documents, (ii) taking any action in violation of the Company’s organizational documents, (iii)
proposing or adopting a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization or
other reorganization, (iv) issuing any shares or common stock or any options, warrants, or rights to acquire any shares of common stock,
subject to certain permitted exceptions, (v) any acquisition, merger or joint venture transactions, (vi) incurring any indebtedness, (vii)
settling of litigation, or (viii) making any material changes to accounting principles or practices.
The foregoing description of the
Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in their entirety to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
As previously reported under Item
5 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, on May 14, 2022, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with an accredited
investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and
sell an aggregate of 8,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”)
and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”)
to the Investor for gross proceeds to the Company of $2.5 million. On June 15, 2022, the Company provided notice to the Investor that
it was terminating the Purchase Agreement as a result of the Investor’s failure to fund. The transaction contemplated under the
Purchase Agreement had yet to close and no Shares nor Warrants were issued under the Purchase Agreement prior to its termination.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions
under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements regarding the Company’s
or Cellvera/AiPharma’s future results of operations and financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “target,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,”
“plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will
continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on various assumptions,
whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of the respective management teams of the
Company and Cellvera/AiPharma and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative
purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or
a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ
from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company and Cellvera/AiPharma.
These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to, the following risks relating to the proposed
transactions: (1) the risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect
the price of the Company’s securities; (2) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the Initial Closing or Secondary Closing, including
the approval by the stockholders of the Company; (3) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions; and
(4) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s public filings with the SEC. If any of these risks
materialize or the Company’s and Cellvera’s/AiPharma’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially
from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the
“Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and other documents we
filed, or will file, including the proxy statement/prospectus, with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither the Company nor
Cellvera/AiPharma presently know, or that the Company or Cellvera/AiPharma currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual
results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s
and Cellvera’s/AiPharma’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report
on Form 8-K. The Company and Cellvera/AiPharma anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s and Cellvera’s/AiPharma’s
assessments to change. However, while the Company and Cellvera/AiPharma may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point
in the future, the Company and Cellvera/AiPharma specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as otherwise required by law. These
forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s and Cellvera’s/AiPharma’s assessments
of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking
statements.
