The shares of Common Stock purchased by each of BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS, and held in the Partners Managed Accounts, were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.

The aggregate purchase price of the 3,640 shares of Series O Preferred Stock beneficially owned by BVF2 is approximately $15,902,452, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,250 shares of Series X Preferred Stock beneficially owned by BVF2 is approximately $12,500,000, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 483,708 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS is approximately $1,451,124, including brokerage commissions.

The 153,139 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Perry were granted to Mr. Perry by the Issuer in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On March 2, 2020, the Issuer completed a rights offering pursuant to which, for each share of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the of Series O Preferred) held as of February 13, 2020, a holder would receive 0.90412 rights to purchase shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $1.00 per share. Alternatively, any participant in the Issuer’s rights offering that, following exercise of such participant’s subscription right would be or become a holder of greater than 9.9% of the outstanding number of shares of the Common Stock following the offering could elect to instead purchase Series X Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $10,000 per share (ratably adjusted for fractional shares), and any such holder so electing would have a right to purchase 1/10,000th of a share of Series X Preferred for each share of common stock it had a right to purchase pursuant to its subscription rights. Each share of Series X Preferred Stock can be converted into 10,000 shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder, subject to beneficial ownership conversion limits. BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS exercised their respective subscription privileges in the subscription rights offering. Pursuant to the subscription rights offering, BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS purchased 613 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, 409 shares of Series X Preferred Stock and 104 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, respectively, for $10,000 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement (as defined and described in Amendment No. 5), the Reporting Persons agreed to purchase certain Common Stock and/or Series X Preferred Stock offered but not purchased pursuant to the exercise of rights in the Issuer’s rights offering, if any (the “Backstop Commitment”). Accordingly, in connection with the Backstop Commitment, on March 4, 2020, BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS and the Partners Managed Accounts purchased 981 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, 841 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, 87 shares of Series X Preferred Stock and 12 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, respectively, for $10,000 per share.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported owned by each person named herein is based on a denominator that is the sum of: (i) 57,978,725 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as of February 13, 2020, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement on Form 424B5 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2020, and (ii) certain or all of the 5,824,000 shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon the conversion of certain shares of Series O Preferred Stock.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons hold 12,575 shares of Series O Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 8,383,333 shares of Common Stock. The conversion ratio is 667 shares of Common Stock for 1 share of Series O Preferred Stock. The Series O Preferred Stock may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, will reach the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, upon the conversion of 8,736 shares of Series O Preferred Stock representing 5,824,000 shares of Common Stock. As such, 3,839 shares of Series O Preferred Stock representing 2,559,333 shares of Common Stock are blocked from being converted pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons hold 3,047 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 30,470,000 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series X Preferred Stock is convertible into 10,000 shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder; provided, however, the Series X Preferred Stock may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Series X Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Series X Beneficial Ownership Limitation limits the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock to zero out of 3,047 shares of Series X Preferred Stock.

As of the date hereof, (i) BVF beneficially owned 6,795,120 shares of Common Stock, including approximately 3,754,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 5,631 shares of Series O Preferred Stock and excluding 15,940,000 shares of Common Stock underlying 1,594 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, representing percentage ownership of approximately 11.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, (ii) BVF2 beneficially owned 4,179,280 shares of Common Stock, including approximately 2,070,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 3,105 shares of Series O Preferred Stock and excluding (x) approximately 356,667 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 535 shares of Series O Preferred Stock and (y) 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock underlying 1,250 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, representing percentage ownership of approximately 7.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, (iii) Trading Fund OS beneficially owned 483,708 shares of Common Stock, excluding (x) approximately 682,666 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 1,024 shares of Series O Preferred Stock and (y) 1,910,000 shares of Common Stock underlying 191 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, representing percentage ownership of less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and (iv) 1,295,582 shares of Common Stock were held in the Partners Managed Accounts, excluding (x) approximately 1,520,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 2,280 shares Series O Preferred Stock and (y) 120,000 shares of Common Stock underlying 12 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, representing percentage ownership of approximately 2.2% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.

BVF GP, as the general partner of BVF, may be deemed to beneficially own the 6,795,120 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BVF, representing percentage ownership of approximately 11.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.

BVF2 GP, as the general partner of BVF2, may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,179,280 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BVF2, representing percentage ownership of approximately 7.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
