(“OPKO” or the “Company”) entered into stock purchase agreements with certain investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors in private placements (the “Private Placements”) an aggregate of approximately 26.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.49 per share, which was the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) on such date, for an aggregate purchase price of $92.5 million. The closing of the private placements is subject to obtaining requisite approval from NASDAQ for the listing of the Shares. The investors in the private placements include an affiliate of Dr. Phillip Frost, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ($70 million), and Dr. Jane Hsiao, the Company’s Vice Chairman and Chief Technical Officer ($2 million).

The private placements are being conducted in reliance on the exemption of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, based upon the representations made by the investors that they are “accredited investors” and that they are purchasing the Shares without a present view toward a distribution of the Shares.

Credit Agreement
