Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Subscription Agreement and Warrants
On July 25, 2007, GeoVax Labs, Inc. (“GeoVax”) entered into a binding agreement with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which it agreed, subject to certain customary closing conditions, to sell to the Investor 48,387,097 shares of its common stock for a price of $0.155 per share, or an aggregate of $7,500,000. A definitive Subscription Agreement with the Investor was signed on July 30, 2007. The closing under the Subscription Agreement is expected to occur on or about August 6, 2007 as to 22,580,645 shares, or $3,500,000 (the “First Closing”); and on or about November 5, 2007 as to 25,806,452 shares, or $4,000,000 (the “Second Closing”). The shares to be sold by GeoVax constitute approximately 6.8% of the number of shares of its common stock outstanding on July 31, 2007.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, at the First Closing GeoVax will issue to the Investor a stock purchase warrant to purchase 18,333,333 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.33 per share, and at the Second Closing GeoVax will issue to the Investor a stock purchase warrant to purchase 16,666,667 shares of its common stock at a price per share based on the closing market price of GeoVax’s common stock as of the date immediately preceding the Second Closing. Both of the stock purchase warrants will be exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
Registration Rights
Under the Subscription Agreement, GeoVax granted the Investor “piggyback” registration rights as to the shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and as to the shares issuable upon exercise of the related warrants. The Investors shall have the right to register such shares under the Securities Act in connection with future underwritten public offerings of shares of GeoVax common stock.
Other

promulgated thereunder. The shares sold by GeoVax may not be reoffered or sold in the United States by the holders in the absence of an effective registration statement, or exemption from the registration requirements, under the Securities Act.
