* | The Company holds 28,770 Series A Warrants (the “Warrants”), 20,548 of which were issued pursuant to a public offering. The Company received the remaining Warrants which are exercisable into 8,222 Common Shares as a result of the exercise of its Series C Warrant. The Warrants are currently exercisable and contain terms that prohibit the Company from exercising any portion of such Warrants if doing so would result in the Company (together with certain affiliates) beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the number of Common Shares of the Issuer outstanding immediately after giving effect to its exercise of such portion. The amount of Common Shares set forth in sub clauses (a) and (c) above and on Rows (5), (7) and (9) of the cover page for the Company show the number of Common Shares that would be issuable upon full exercise of the Warrants (without giving effect to certain anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrants). |
** | As of February 13, 2019, the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer was 37,025,089, which was provided by the Issuer. On September 18, 2018, the Issuer effected a 1 for 100 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding Common Shares. All references in the SC 13G amendment to Common Shares and warrants have been adjusted reflect the reverse split. |
The Common Shares held by the Company do not include securities owned by Frost Gamma Investment Trust (“FGIT”), an affiliate of Phillip Frost, MD (“Dr. Frost”), the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. FGIT holds 1,168,024 Common Shares and Series A warrants to purchase 19,180 Common Shares. Dr. Frost is the sole trustee of FGIT. The Company disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by FGIT and Dr. Frost.
In connection with undertakings made to the Securities and Exchange Commission, as part of a previously announced settlement, the Company is evaluating all of its strategic minority investments and reporting under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. In connection with this evaluation, the Company may make additional or amended filings pursuant to Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Exchange Act reflecting group membership.
