SALES OF COMMON STOCK
 
In June 2013, at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was approved to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock from 105,000,000 shares to 205,000,000 shares and to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.
 
In November 2013, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $23.0 million through the sale of 7,666,667 shares of its common stock in a publicly-marketed offering. These shares were offered pursuant to the Company’s 2012 shelf registration statement. In connection with this offering, the Company paid commissions and other offering-related costs of approximately $1.6 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $21.4 million.
 
In November 2012, the Company filed the required documents and became eligible to use an at-the-market common equity sales program for the sale of shares of its common stock up to a value of $20,000,000. These shares were offered pursuant to the Company’s 2012 shelf registration statement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, 3,609,595 shares of common stock were sold under this program at an average sales price of approximately $3.02 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $10.9 million. In conjunction with this program, the Company paid commissions and other offering-related expenses of approximately $0.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.4 million. In November 2013, the Company elected to terminate this program.
 
On February 8, 2012, the Company amended its shelf registration statement, originally filed on January 26, 2012, with the SEC, under which the Company may offer shares of its common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities, either individually or in units, in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of $100,000,000. Such registration statement, as amended, became effective as of February 9, 2012.
