Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 18, 2009 (the “February 18, 2009 Form 8-K Current Report”), Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), reported, among other things, that the Company (i) had entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and related agreements on February 12, 2009 with 10X Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”) and (ii) had completed an initial closing under the Purchase Agreement. The February 18, 2009 Form 8-K Current Report also reported that under the Purchase Agreement the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, at one or more subsequent closings: (i) up to 2,100,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) convertible into up to 8,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) Class A-1 Warrants exercisable to purchase up to 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Class A-1 Warrants”); (iii) Class A-2 Warrants exercisable to purchase up to 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Class A-2 Warrants”); and (iv) Class B Warrants exercisable to purchase up to 16,800,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Class B Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $4.2 million (less the origination fees and expenses described below).

In a subsequent closing on May 13, 2009, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of (i) 450,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock convertible into 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) Class A-1 Warrants exercisable to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock, (iii) Class A-2 Warrants exercisable to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) Class B Warrants exercisable to purchase 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $900,000. Net proceeds of these sales were approximately $802,000 after reimbursement of the Purchaser’s expenses (including legal expenses) in connection with the subsequent closing and an origination fee in the amount of three percent of the gross proceeds from the sale of these securities. As a result of the closing held on May 13, 2009, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the final purchase date for the remaining shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Warrants, Series A-2 Warrants and Series B Warrants has been extended to August 11, 2009.

The terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations for the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock that established the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Warrants, the Series A-2 Warrants and the Series B Warrants were disclosed in the February 18, 2009 Form 8-K Current Report including the exhibits thereto. The description of the Class A-1 Warrants, the Class A-2 Warrants and the Class B Warrants issued by the Company in the subsequent closing reported in this report is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Class A-1 Warrants, the Form of Class A-2 Warrants and the Form of Class B Warrants, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3, respectively, in the February 18, 2009 Form 8-K Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
