Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On or around March 23, 2015, OPKO Health, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two exchange agreements with a holder of the Company’s 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) pursuant to which such holder agreed to exchange approximately $36.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes for 5,363,896 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and approximately $168,000 in cash representing accrued interest through the date of completion of the exchange. The Company expects to complete the exchanges on or around March 27, 2015. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to exchange the Notes of the Company or other securities of the Company for Common Stock of the Company or any other securities of the Company.

The issuance of the shares of the Common Stock in exchange for the Notes are being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
