Item 4. Ownership
The information required by Items 4(a) - (c) is set forth in Rows (5)-
(11) of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.
The percentage used in this Schedule 13G is calculated based upon an aggregate
of 190,831,759 shares of Common Stock, which are reported to be issued and
outstanding in the Company's Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) on December 21, 2016 following the
consummation of the offering described therein. The percentage set forth on
Row (11) and number of shares of Common Stock set forth on rows (6), (8) and
(9) of the cover page for each Reporting Person are based on the Company's
total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and assume the conversion
of convertible preferred shares held by Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. (the
"Securities") subject to the 9.99% Blocker (as defined below).
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities, the Reporting Persons cannot convert
the Securities if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after such
conversion, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the
"9.99% Blocker"). The percentage set forth on Row (11) and the number of shares
of Common Stock set forth on rows (6), (8) and (9) of the cover page for each
Reporting Person give effect to the 9.99% Blocker. Consequently, at this time,
the Reporting Persons are not able to convert all of the Securities due to the
9.99% Blocker.
The Investment Manager, which serves as the investment manager to Hudson Bay
Master Fund Ltd., in whose name the securities reported herein are held, may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by
Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. and all shares of Common Stock, subject to the
9.99% Blocker, underlying the convertible preferred shares held by Hudson Bay
Master Fund Ltd. Mr. Gerber serves as the managing member of Hudson Bay
Capital GP LLC, which is the general partner of the Investment Manager.
Mr. Gerber disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities.
Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class
Not applicable.
Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person
See Item 4.
Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which
Acquired the Security Being Reported on by the Parent Holding Company
Not applicable.
Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group
Not applicable.
Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group
