ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:
On March 16, 2018 the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement) for a private placement (the Placement) of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants to existing and new investors in the Issuer (the Investors), including a participating HEC Fund. Pursuant to the 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Persons caused the participating HEC Fund to acquire (i) 540,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 10,800,000 Shares, and (ii) Warrants exercisable for 4,725,000 Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Shares and holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive non-compounding dividends in additional shares of preferred stock, at the rate of 12% per annum, subject to reduction in the event certain milestones are achieved. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.40 per share. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The Warrant may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The transaction closed on March 16, 2018 (the Closing Date).
In connection with the Placement, the Issuer also agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement (the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement) with the Investors, requiring the Issuer to register the resale of the Shares underlying the Preferred Stock (as defined below) and the Warrants. Under the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer will be required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) within 30 days of the Closing Date, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 60 days if there is no review by the SEC, and within 90 days in the event of such review.
In addition, holders of more than 50% of the Issuers outstanding Shares, including an HEC Fund, have entered into irrevocable agreements (the Voting Agreements) to vote their shares in connection with the Placement, which is expected to occur at the Issuers 2018 Annual Stockholder Meeting.
On March 15, 2018, the Issuers Board of Directors elected Douglas L. Braunstein, effective as of the closing of the Placement, to serve as a Class I director until the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or his earlier death or resignation or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
The Subject Securities were offered, issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), set forth under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
The above description of the material terms of the Placement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement, 2018 Registration Rights Agreement, Form of Voting Agreement, Form of Warrant and Form of Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, copies of which are included as Exhibit 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to this Schedule 13D, respectively.
