On August 9, 2018, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective on August 27, 2018 (the “Shelf Registration”). Under the Shelf Registration, the Company may offer and sell up to $250.0 million of a variety of securities including common stock, preferred stock, warrants, depositary shares, debt securities, purchase contracts, purchase units or any combination of such securities during the three-year period that commenced upon the Shelf Registration becoming effective.

In connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration, the Company entered into a sales agreement with Jefferies, LLC (the “Sales Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of its common stock in an at-the-market equity offering (“ATM Offering”) through Jefferies, LLC, as sales agent. As of December 31, 2019, the Company issued 2,592,934 shares of its common stock under the ATM Offering, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.1 million. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,352,671 shares of its common stock under the ATM Offering, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $12.5 million. On March 10, 2020,  the Company notified Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) that it was suspending and terminating the prospectus related to the Sales Agreement. The Company will not make any sales of its common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement unless and until a new prospectus is filed.

On March 11, 2020, the Company sold 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2020 Offering Shares”) in an underwritten offering (the “2020 Offering”), pursuant to the Shelf Registration filed with the SEC in August 2018, at a public offering price of $7.89 per share, before underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses, resulting in net proceeds of $118.2 million. In addition, the underwriters of the offering were granted the option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 shares of common stock offered in the public offering at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. On April 3, 2020, the underwriters exercised their option and purchased an additional 979,371 shares of common stock at $7.89 per share, before underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $7.2 million. The total number of shares sold by the Company in the 2020 Offering was 16,979,371, resulting in total net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses, of approximately $125.4 million.

As of March 31, 2020, there was approximately $26.1 million of securities available to be issued under the Shelf Registration. As a result of the underwriters’ option exercised as noted above, there was approximately $18.3 million of securities available to be issued under the Shelf Registration as of April 3, 2020.
