The sale of the remaining 444,446 ADSs and 222,223 warrants is expected to close in full within the week.

 

In addition, under the Purchase Agreements, the investors received unregistered warrants to purchase 888,889 ADSs.

The Company also entered into an engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”), dated March 30, 2015, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with the offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares under the transaction, provided that the Company will pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 1.75% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares to certain existing shareholders of the Company. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for expenses in connection with this offering on a non-accountable basis in an amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 1% of the aggregate gross proceeds in this offering. The Placement Agent will also receive compensation warrants to purchase up to a number of shares equal to 5% of the shares purchased by investors in this offering, provided that the Company will issue to the Placement Agent compensation warrants to purchase 1.25% of the shares purchased in this offering by certain existing shareholders of the Company. The compensation warrants will expire on the 5 year anniversary of the effective date of the offering, shall not include an anti-dilution provision and shall have an exercise price of $2.8125 or 125% of the public offering price per share hereunder and will otherwise comply with the requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA.
