On May 13, 2015, Trevena, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale of 2,700,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a weighted average price per share of $6.2503, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $16.3 million. The shares were sold through Cowen and Company, LLC, or Cowen, pursuant to a sales agreement with them dated April 3, 2015.  Following these sales, the Company may offer and sell additional shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $23.1 million from time to time through Cowen pursuant to the sales agreement.  The Company now believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2015, together with the net proceeds from the May 13, 2015 sales, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the fourth quarter of 2016.
