&#147;company&#148;) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;) with selected institutional and accredited investors (the &#147;Investors&#148;) to sell and issue $2.46 million of units of its securities in a
private placement under Section&nbsp;4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the &#147;Private Placement&#148;). In the aggregate, the company agreed to sell to the Investors a total
of 2,347,625 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;) and warrants to purchase 774,716 shares of common stock (the &#147;Warrants&#148;). The shares of Common Stock and Warrants were sold as units, at a price
of $1.05 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant, as described below, to purchase 0.33 shares of Common Stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The closing occurred on November&nbsp;12, 2013 and the company received net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, after the deduction of offering expenses,
for general corporate and working capital purposes. Under the Purchase Agreement, we granted the Investors a right to participate in future financing transactions for a period of 12 months after the closing subject to customary exclusions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.38 per share, which is equal to 120% of the closing price of our common stock immediately prior to the execution of
the Purchase Agreement, and are exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing on the six month anniversary of the closing date. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations
of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Warrants will also be exercisable on a &#147;cashless exercise&#148; basis in the event that after the first anniversary of the closing, the resale of the underlying shares of Common Stock is
not covered by a registration statement declared effective by the SEC. The right of holders to exercise Warrants for shares of Common Stock will be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors pursuant to which
it granted them a right, commencing on the first anniversary of the closing, to require the company to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued at closing and which may be issued upon
exercise of the Warrants. The company also granted the Investors piggyback registration rights covering these securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the form of Purchase
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, a copy of the form of Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2, and a copy of the form of Warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.1. The above descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, and the form of Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 4.1, respectively and such agreements are incorporated herein by reference. </P>

determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on Section&nbsp;4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule&nbsp;506(b) of Regulation&nbsp;D promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public
offering, in which the investors are accredited and have acquired the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 11, 2013, Authentidate Holding Corp. (the
"company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with selected institutional and accredited investors (the "Investors") to sell and issue $2.46 million of units of its securities in a
private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the "Private Placement"). In the aggregate, the company agreed to sell to the Investors a total
of 2,347,625 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") and warrants to purchase 774,716 shares of common stock (the "Warrants"). The shares of Common Stock and Warrants were sold as units, at a price
of $1.05 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant, as described below, to purchase 0.33 shares of Common Stock.
The closing occurred on November 12, 2013 and the company received net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, after the deduction of offering expenses,
for general corporate and working capital purposes. Under the Purchase Agreement, we granted the Investors a right to participate in future financing transactions for a period of 12 months after the closing subject to customary exclusions.
The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.38 per share, which is equal to 120% of the closing price of our common stock immediately prior to the execution of
the Purchase Agreement, and are exercisable for a period of 54 months commencing on the six month anniversary of the closing date. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations
of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Warrants will also be exercisable on a "cashless exercise" basis in the event that after the first anniversary of the closing, the resale of the underlying shares of Common Stock is
not covered by a registration statement declared effective by the SEC. The right of holders to exercise Warrants for shares of Common Stock will be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%.
Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors pursuant to which
it granted them a right, commencing on the first anniversary of the closing, to require the company to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued at closing and which may be issued upon
exercise of the Warrants. The company also granted the Investors piggyback registration rights covering these securities.
A copy of the form of Purchase
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, a copy of the form of Registration Rights Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2, and a copy of the form of Warrant is attached as Exhibit 4.1. The above descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, and the form of Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 4.1, respectively and such agreements are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K concerning the Private Placement is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise thereof have been
determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public
offering, in which the investors are accredited and have acquired the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be resold absent registration under or an exemption from the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. This disclosure does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the company's securities, nor will there be any sales of these securities by the company in any state or
jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
