Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to its securities purchase agreement, dated as of February 13, 2012.  The amendment serves to extend the period during which the Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a financing transaction (the "First Follow-On Financing") pursuant to which it would sell common stock or common stock equivalents resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5 million, from August 13, 2013 to December 24, 2013. 

 

The counterparties signing the amendment were Burrill Capital Fund IV, LP ("Burrill"), Aisling Capital II, LP ("Aisling") and Jerrold and Adam Grossman (together with their related entities, the "Grossman Group").   The Company's director Steven Elms is the managing member of a control person of Aisling and the Company's director Dr. Dov Goldstein is a partner at Aisling.  The Company's director Bryant Fong is a managing director of the control person of Burrill.  Adam Grossman is the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and a director.  Jerrold Grossman is a director of the Company.

 

Under the securities purchase agreement, as amended, in the event the Company is unable to raise at least $5 million in the First Follow-On Financing, then Burrill, Aisling and the Grossman Group will subscribe to purchase $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which amounts will decline proportionately if the Company raises more than $1 million in addition to the amounts contributed by such investors.
