Underwriting, page 87

 

3.We note your disclosure that the underwriter “may participate in this offering on the same terms and conditions as the investors participating in this offering.” If the underwriter is purchasing the offered securities on a firm-commitment basis, the nature and extent of this additional participation is unclear. Please tell us the type of activity contemplated by the underwriter and related persons that forms the basis of this disclosure. Also tell us about all other material relationships between the registrant and the underwriter, including previous transactions.

Response:

 

Dawson James Securities, Inc. is no longer offering securities on a firm-commitment basis but is serving as the placement agent on a best efforts basis. The “Underwriting” section has been replaced with “Plan of Distribution,” in which section the Company discloses material relationships between the Company and the placement agent beginning on page 91.
