Kenneth A. Clark, a director of the Company since November 2017, is a member of the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati (WSGR), which also serves as the outside corporate counsel to the Company. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred expenses reported in general and administrative in the consolidated statement of operations for legal services rendered by WSGR totaling approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Additionally, in June 2020, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of legal expenses in connection with the rights offering which was offset against the gross proceeds (Note 6). During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred expenses for legal services rendered by WSGR totaling approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

During June 2020, the Company completed a rights offering to purchase up to $30 million of units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 0.15 warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the Units) at a price of $7.01 per Unit (the Rights Offering). A total of 4,279,600 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 641,571 warrants were issued and sold in the Rights Offering for net proceeds of $29.4 million. Robert W. Duggan, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and the beneficial owner of approximately 43% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the Rights Offering, participated in the Rights Offering and purchased an aggregate of 2,561,873 Units. After giving effect to the Rights Offering, Mr. Duggan was the beneficial owner of approximately 47% of the Company’s outstanding stock as of September 30, 2020.

The Company determined not to renew its director and officer liability insurance policies due to disproportionately high premiums quoted by insurance companies. Instead, Robert W. Duggan and the Company entered into a letter agreement, dated May 12, 2020 (the Letter Agreement), pursuant to which Mr. Duggan agreed with the Company to personally provide indemnity coverage on substantially the same terms as the Company’s prior coverage program for a one-year period, and has deposited $30 million of cash as security for such obligations. The Company will pay a fee of $2.5 million to Mr. Duggan that shall be due on May 13, 2021, the last day of the one-year period, in consideration of the obligations set forth in the Letter Agreement. The other members of the Board are third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the amount owed to Mr. Duggan under the Letter Agreement was $0.9 million, recorded in the balance sheet under Accrued Liabilities.
