The information set forth under Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Transaction Documents (as such term is defined in Item 3.02 below) is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 25, 2016, Mustang Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a second closing of the private placement (the “Transaction”) previously reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2016 (the “Prior 8-K”), which is incorporated by reference herein. In this second closing, the Company sold 109.058 Units to certain accredited investors (the “Units”) pursuant to Unit Purchase Agreements (each a “Purchase Agreement”). As described in the Prior 8-K, each Unit consists of 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable immediately for 2,500 shares of Common Stock for five years at an exercise price of $8.50 per share, for a purchase price of $65,000 per Unit. The Units sold in the second closing are comprised of 1,090,580 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 272,645 shares of Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $7,088,770.

In connection with the second closing, the Company’s placement agent, pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement dated August 3, 2016 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”), received a cash fee of $708,877 and a warrant to purchase 109,058 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant” and, collectively with the Purchase Agreement, Warrants and Placement Agent Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”). All of the Transaction Documents were previously reported in the Prior 8-K.

The Units, Warrants and Placement Agent Warrant were offered and sold in a private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. To the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued in connection with the Transaction, they may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or the availability of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The foregoing descriptions of the Transaction Documents are subject to the full and complete terms of each such Transaction Document and the form of Purchase Agreement, form of Warrant, the Placement Agent Warrant and the Placement Agent Agreement which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.
