At March 5, 2007, there were approximately 300 shareholders of record of the Company's Common Stock, one shareholder of record of the Company's Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), 10 shareholders of record of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and 12 shareholders of record of the Company’s Series E convertible preferred stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”). The Company estimates that there were approximately 7,500 beneficial owners of its Common Stock on such date.

The Series C Preferred Stock was issued and sold by the Company in January 1999 to 24 accredited investors, through which the Company raised approximately $6.4 million, net of expenses. The Series C Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share, and is convertible into Common Stock at the lower of: (i) $3.50 per share of Common Stock, and (ii) 100% of the average of the closing prices during the three trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice. The Series C Preferred Stock pays a 5% dividend, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of the quarter.  

Effective as of February 6, 2001, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Acqua Wellington North American Equities Fund, Ltd., (“Acqua Wellington”) to sell up to $16.5 million of Common Stock under the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the related Prospectus Supplement dated February 6, 2001 and amended on April 13, 2001. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company was able to issue and sell to Acqua Wellington up to $16.5 million of Common Stock and grant Acqua Wellington a call option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, subject to the overall limit of $16.5 million. The Company and Acqua Wellington agreed to extend the term of the Purchase Agreement until February 6, 2005, at which time it expired. The Company sold Acqua Wellington $9.84 million of Common Stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.
 
During 2004, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to SJ Strategic Investments LLC, a family investment vehicle owned and managed by John M. Gregory, the founder and former Chairman and CEO of King Pharmaceuticals, which resulted in the Company receiving $6,380,000 after expenses. Proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

During 2005, the Company raised $6.9 million from the issuance and sale of 69,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share. Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder into 50 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, and will automatically be converted into Common Stock at that rate upon the date that the average of the daily market prices of the Company’s Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days preceding such date exceeds $6.00 per share. The Series E Preferred Stock pays no dividends and contains voting rights equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible. Upon liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to $100 per share.
 
On March 10, 2006, the Company raised $30 million in gross proceeds to the Company from the issuance and sale of 7,428,220 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $4.04 per share and warrants to purchase 1,857,041 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.39 per share. The warrants became exercisable on September 9, 2006, and expire on March 13, 2011, unless earlier exercised or terminated. Proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

On December 22, 2006, the Company raised approximately $40 million in gross proceeds to the Company from the issuance and sale of convertible subordinated notes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and mature on December 31, 2011. They are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $5.25. Investors also received warrants to purchase 2,285,714 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The warrants become exercisable on June 20, 2007, and expire on December 22, 2011, unless earlier exercised or terminated.  The Company used the proceeds of this offering to acquire from Merck Serono the U.S. marketing rights to CRINONE® for $33 million, purchase Serono’s current inventory of that product, and pay other costs related to the transaction. The balance of approximately $4.7 Million will be used for general corporate purposes.

During 2006, outstanding options were exercised resulting in the issuance of 335,049 shares of Common Stock and the receipt of $1 million by the Company. Proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. In addition, 50 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 14,825 shares of Common Stock.

The Company has two shareholder-approved equity compensation plans, under which securities may be issued upon exercise. The first is the Columbia Laboratories, Inc. 1988 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "1988 Plan"). All employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company or any subsidiary were eligible to participate in the 1988 Plan. Under the 1988 Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock were authorized for issuance upon exercise of the options. As of October 1996, no further options were granted pursuant to the 1988 Plan and the remaining options expired in October of 2006. The second shareholder-approved equity compensation plan is the 1996 Long-term Performance Plan (the “1996 Plan”), adopted in October 1996, which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to certain designated employees of the Company, non-employee directors of the Company and certain other persons performing significant services for the Company as designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance.

On March 12, 2002, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) designed to protect company stockholders in the event of takeover activity that would deny them the full value of their investment. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any specific takeover threat. In adopting the Rights Plan, the Board declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company, payable to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 22, 2002. The rights will become exercisable only in the event, with certain exceptions, a person or group of affiliated or associated persons acquires 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock, or a person or group of affiliated or associated persons commences a tender or exchange offer which, if successfully consummated, would result in such person or group owning 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock. The rights will expire on March 12, 2012. Each right, once exercisable, will entitle the holder (other than rights owned by an acquiring person or group) to buy one one-thousandth of a share of a series of the Company’s Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $30 per one-thousandth of a share, subject to adjustments. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, holders of the rights (other than rights owned by an acquiring person or group) would be entitled to purchase either the Company’s preferred stock or shares in an “acquiring entity” at approximately half of market value. Further, at any time after a person or group acquires 15% or more (but less than 50%) of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, subject to certain exceptions, the Board of Directors may, at its option, exchange part or all of the rights (other than rights held by an acquiring person or group) for shares of the Company's Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of such acquisition equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the rights over (ii) the exercise price of the rights. The Company generally will be entitled to redeem the rights at $0.01 per right at any time prior to the close of business on the tenth day after there has been a public announcement of the beneficial ownership by any person or group of 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock, subject to certain exceptions.

On March 12, 2001, the Company granted to James Apostolakis, a director and former executive officer of the Company, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.85 per share. On March 12, 2001, the Company granted to Fred Wilkinson, pursuant to an employment agreement, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.35 per share.

Dividend Policy

The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its Common Stock and does not anticipate the payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain any earnings for use in the development and expansion of its business. The Company is required to pay a 5% dividend on its Series C Preferred Stock on the last day of each quarter.

Applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may affect the ability of the Company to declare and pay dividends on its Common Stock as well as on its Series C Preferred Stock. In particular, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, a company may pay dividends out of its surplus, as defined, or out of its net profits, for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. Surplus is defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law to be the excess of net assets of the company over capital. Capital is defined to be the aggregate par value of shares issued unless otherwise established by the Board of Directors.
