Explanation of Responses: |
1. The reported shares are owned directly by 2003 Revocable Trust of Mark Wagner dated April 23, 2003(the "Wagner Trust"). Mark Wagner is the trustee and deemed to have a pecuniary interest in, and therefore to be the beneficial owner of, shares held by the Wagner Trust. On May 29, 2015, Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (the "Issuer") consummated a merger, pursuant to which Celleration, Inc. ("Celleration") merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, the Wagner Trust acquired 174,033 shares of the Issuer's common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Celleration common stock and Series AA preferred stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. |
2. The Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 2, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement") placed a value on the Issuer's common stock of $4.80 per share, based on the trailing 45 trading day volume weighted average price as of the second trading day prior to the date of the Merger Agreement. Of the 174,033 shares issued to the Wagner Trust, 11,443 shares are currently being held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture during the eighteen month period following the closing of the Merger to satisfy certain claims and post-closing adjustments as provided in the Merger Agreement. |
3. The option vests in twelve equal monthly installments with one-twelfth (1/12) vesting on the twenty-ninth (29th) day of each of the next twelve months, with the first such vesting date occurring on June 29, 2015, provided that Mr. Wagner is providing services to the Issuer on the applicable vesting date and subject to the terms and conditions of the Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan. |
