Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On March 24, 2014, Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Actinium”) filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”).  This Registration Statement contained two prospectuses: (i) a base prospectus which covers the offering, issuance and sale by Actinium of up to $200,000,000 of its common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units; and (ii) a sales agreement prospectus covering the offering, issuance and sale by Actinium of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $75,000,000 of its common stock that may be issued and sold under a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”).  No sales will be made until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Sales of Actinium’s common stock through MLV, if any, will be made on the NYSE MKT LLC, on any other existing trading market for the common stock or to or through a market maker. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, MLV will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Actinium’s common stock from time to time, based upon Actinium’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions Actinium may impose). Actinium will pay to MLV in cash, upon the sale of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, an amount equal to  3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock.  Actinium has also provided MLV with customary indemnification rights.
 
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 1.2 to Actinium’s Form S-3 filed March 24, 2014.
