On January 25, 2013, in a private placement the issuer issued Units at a price per Unit of $0.50 consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The Units purchased in such offering by Third Security Senior Staff 2008 LLC ("TS Senior Staff 2008"), Third Security Staff 2010 LLC ("TS Staff 2010") and Third Security Incentive 2010 LLC ("TS Incentive 2010") resulted in ownership of shares of common stock and warrants as follows: 1,200,000 shares of common stock and 600,000 warrants by TS Senior Staff 2008, 1,200,000 shares of common stock and 600,000 warrants by TS Staff 2010 and 600,000 shares of common stock and 300,000 warrants by TS Incentive 2010.
