Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On March 13, 2007, Genta Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into definitive stock purchase agreements (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 30,000,000 registered shares of its common stock at $0.36 per share, through a registered direct offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10,800,000, before deducting estimated fees and expenses associated with the offering (the “Offering”). The closing is expected to take place on March 16, 2007, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The shares of common stock offered by the Company in this transaction were registered under the Company’s existing shelf registration statement (File No. 333-114151) on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2004, and the prospectus supplement dated March 13, 2007.
     Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”) acted as the placement agent for the Offering. On February 23, 2007, the Company executed a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) by and between the Company and Rodman. The Company will pay the placement agent an aggregate fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering equal to approximately $540,000, and will pay estimated expenses of the Offering equal to approximately $170,000.
