The information in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

The responses to Items 3, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D, to the extent applicable, are incorporated herein by reference.

 

On October 23, 2015, the Reporting Person and the Issuer closed on a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to purchase, and the Issuer agreed to sell, (1) 13,333,333 Shares, (2) a warrant to purchase 6,666,666 Shares, which was terminated on July 19, 2016, and had an exercise price of $0.45; and (3) a warrant to purchase 8,666,666 Shares of the Issuer, which expired on April 23, 2016, and had an exercise price of $0.45. The Reporting Person acquired the Shares and warrants in the belief that the Shares are an attractive investment, consistent with the Reporting Person’s business purpose. On August 22, 2014, in connection with a securities purchase agreement between Reporting Person and the Issuer, Reporting Person agreed to purchase, and the Issuer agreed to sell 5,333,333 Shares and a warrant to purchase 2,133,333 Shares. This prior transaction was disclosed on a Schedule 13G filed by the Reporting Person on September 3, 2014.

 

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person presently does not have any plans to (i) acquire any additional securities of the Issuer (it does not intend to exercise any warrants) or to dispose of securities of the Issuer, (ii) engage in any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) sell or transfer a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries, (iv) change the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (v) make a material change to the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (vi) make any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (vii) make any changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (viii) cause any class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (ix) take any action that would result in a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (x) take any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The information in Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

This number represents 31.15% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares. The Reporting Person may be deemed to have sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of 20,799,999 Shares. Of the 20,799,999 Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, 5,333,333 Shares and a warrant to purchase 2,133,333 Shares were acquired by the Reporting Person on August 22, 2014, in connection with a securities purchase agreement between Reporting Person and the Issuer.

The balance of the Shares and Shares issuable pursuant to warrants were acquired as set forth in Item 4.

 

The percentage calculated in the immediately foregoing paragraph is calculated based on a total of 64,646,645 Shares outstanding as of June 9, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 9, 2016, in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.
