Item 1. Security and Issuer
-------------------
This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") relates to shares
of common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Phase III Medical,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of
the Company are located at 330 South Service Road, Suite 120, Melville, New York
11747.
Item 2. Identity and Background
-----------------------
This Schedule 13D is being filed by Mark Weinreb ("Mr. Weinreb"). Mr.
Weinreb is a citizen of the United States. The business address of Mr. Weinreb
is 330 South Service Road, Suite 120, Melville, New York 11747. Mr. Weinreb
currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 330 South Service Road, Suite 120,
Melville, New York 11747.
Mr. Weinreb has not, during the last five years, (a) been convicted in
a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or
(b) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction as a result of which such entity or person was or is now
subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
-------------------------------------------------
On May 4, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment
to the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Weinreb, dated February
6, 2003 (the "Employment Agreement"), which was approved by the shareholders on
July 20, 2005, to grant Mr. Weinreb 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock as partial
consideration for services provided by Mr. Weinreb as Chief Executive Officer.
1,000,000 of such shares vested and became exercisable immediately upon the date
of grant, and 1,000,000 of such shares vest and become exercisable on each of
the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant.
The Board of Directors also granted to Mr. Weinreb, and the
shareholders approved, options to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common
Stock (the "July Option") pursuant to the Company's 2003 Equity Participation
Plan (the "2003 EPP"), of which 2,000,000 options vested and became exercisable
immediately upon the date of grant. The July Option is an Incentive Stock Option
pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, and is represented by a stock option
agreement. The July Option has an exercise price equal to $0.06 per share and
vests and becomes exercisable as to 1,000,000 shares on each of the first and
second anniversaries of the date of grant and remains exercisable as to any
vested portion thereof in accordance with the terms of the 2003 EPP and the
stock option agreement. If Mr. Weinreb pays the exercise price of the July
Option with shares of Common Stock, the plan committee appointed by the Board of
Directors may, in its discretion, grant Mr. Weinreb an option with a reload
feature, pursuant to which a reload stock option, which would be granted at the
same time that payment is received on the option exercise, would grant Mr.
Weinreb the option to purchase (i) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the sum of the number of shares used to exercise the July Option (or the number
of shares not received if Mr. Weinreb paid the option price by receiving a
reduced number of shares on exercise), or (ii) in the case of non-qualified
stock options, the number of shares of Common Stock used to satisfy any tax
withholding requirement related to the exercise of such option.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
----------------------
The acquisition of the securities described in Item 3 by Mr. Weinreb
is for investment purposes.
On February 6, 2003, Mr. Weinreb was appointed President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Employment
Agreement. The Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years, with
automatic annual extensions unless terminated by the Company or Mr. Weinreb at
least 90 days prior to an applicable anniversary date. The Company has agreed to
pay Mr. Weinreb an annual salary of $180,000 for the initial year of the term,
$198,000 for the second year of the term, and $217,800 for the third year of the
term. In addition, he is entitled to an annual bonus in the amount of $20,000
for the initial year in the event, and concurrently on the date, that the
Company has received debt and/or equity financing in the aggregate amount of at
least $1,000,000 since the beginning of his service, and $20,000 for each
subsequent year of the term, without condition.
In addition, the Company, pursuant to the 2003 EPP, entered into a
stock option agreement with Mr. Weinreb (the "Initial Option Agreement"). Under
the Initial Option Agreement, the Company granted Mr. Weinreb the right and
option, exercisable for 10 years, to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share and otherwise
upon the terms set forth in the Initial Option Agreement. In addition, in the
event that the closing price of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds
$0.50 per share for any five consecutive trading days during the term of the
employment agreement (whether during the initial term or an annual extension),
the Company has agreed to grant to Mr. Weinreb, on the day immediately following
the end of the five day period, an option for the purchase of an additional
2,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for an exercise price of $0.50
per share, pursuant to the 2003 EPP and a stock option agreement to be entered
into between the Company and Mr. Weinreb containing substantially the same terms
as the Initial Option Agreement, except for the exercise price and that the
option would be treated as an "incentive stock option" for tax purposes only to
the maximum extent permitted by law (the "Additional Option Agreement"). The
Company agreed to promptly file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") pursuant to
which the issuance of the shares covered by the 2003 EPP, as well as the resale
of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Option Agreement, are
registered, which has been filed. Additionally, the Company has agreed,
following any grant under the Additional Option Agreement, to promptly file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement pursuant to which the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof shall be registered for resale. Mr.
Weinreb has agreed that he will not resell publicly any shares of the Company's
Common Stock obtained upon exercise of the Initial Option Agreement or the
Additional Option Agreement prior to the first anniversary of the date of the
employment agreement.
On May 4, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved, which was
approved by the shareholders on July 20, 2005, an amendment to Mr. Weinreb's
Employment Agreement, to (a) extend the expiration date thereof from February
2006 to December 2008; (b) change Mr. Weinreb's annual base salary of $217,800
(with an increase of 10% per annum) to an annual base salary of $250,000 (with
no increase per annum); (c) grant Mr. Weinreb 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
1,000,000 shares of which shall vest on each of the date of grant and the first
and second anniversaries of the date of grant; (d) amend the severance provision
of the existing Employment Agreement to provide that in the event of termination
without cause (subject to certain exceptions), Mr. Weinreb will be entitled to
receive a lump sum payment equal to his then base salary and automobile
allowance for a period of one year; (e) commencing in August 2006, increase Mr.
Weinreb's annual bonus from $20,000 to $25,000; (f) in August 2005, pay Mr.
Weinreb $15,000 to cover costs incurred by him on behalf of the Company; and (g)
in 2006, provide for the reimbursement of all premiums in an annual aggregate
amount of up to $18,000 payable by Mr. Weinreb for life and long term care
insurance covering each year during the remainder of the term of his employment.
