On May 7, 2015, certain holders of the Company’s warrants to purchase common stock (the “2013 Warrants”) issued pursuant to that certain Common Stock Unit Agreement, dated December 16, 2013, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as warrant agent, agreed to exercise some or all of their 2013 Warrants for cash, at the current exercise price of $15.30 per share of common stock. As an inducement to exercise the 2013 Warrants, the Company agreed to pay each such holder a cash inducement fee in an amount equal to $11.55 for each share of common stock received upon such exercise, which will result in net proceeds to the Company of $3.75 per share.
