At April 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 3,000,875 shares of common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $4.375 to $24.00, all of which were classified as equity instruments. These warrants expire at various times between June 2016 and May 2021.

 

November 2015 Public Offering

 

On November 9, 2015, the Company closed the registered public offering of an aggregate of 2,142,860 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,071,430 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at a purchase price of $3.50 per unit pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with investors dated November 3, 2015 (the “November 2015 Public Offering”). Each purchaser was issued a warrant to purchase up to that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the shares issued to such purchaser. The Warrants have an exercise price of $4.50 per share, became exercisable six months after issuance, and expire on May 9, 2021. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.5 million and net proceeds, after deducting the Placement Agent Fee (described below) and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $6.9 million in the November 2015 Public Offering.

 

On November 3, 2015, the Company entered into a Placement Agent Agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to act as the Company’s placement agent in connection with the November 2015 Public Offering. The Company agreed to pay an aggregate cash fee for placement agent and financial advisory services equal to six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds of the November 2015 Public Offering (the “Placement Agent Fee”), as well as a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of the November 2015 Financing and certain other expense reimbursements. In addition, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the November 2015 Public Offering, or 107,143 shares, to the placement agent or its designees (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Warrants, except that they have an exercise price of $4.375 and expire on November 9, 2020.

 

The net proceeds from the November 2015 Public Offering are being used for general corporate purposes, including clinical trial expenses and research and development expenses. The fair value of Warrants, based on their fair value relative to the common stock issued, was approximately $1.6 million (based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming no dividend yield, a 5.5 year life, volatility of 88.63%, and a risk-free interest rate of 1.75%). The Company completed an evaluation of these warrants and determined the warrants should be classified as equity within the condensed balance sheet.

 

The fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was $0.2 million (based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming no dividend yield, a 5 year life, volatility of 89.08%, and a risk-free interest rate of 1.75%). The Company completed an evaluation of these warrants and determined the warrants should be classified as equity within the condensed balance sheet.
