The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement 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 set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is based on 27,638,815 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 12, 2015, as represented in Exhibit 10.1 attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2015 and assumes the exercise of the reported warrants (the “Reported Warrants”) subject to the applicable Blockers (as defined below).
Pursuant to the terms of the Reported Warrants, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise (i) any of the Reported Warrants that are Series A, Series D or Series E Warrants if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (ii) any of the Reported Warrants that are Series B or Series C Warrants if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the applicable “Blockers”), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person gives effect to the applicable Blockers. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise all of the Reported Warrants due to the applicable Blockers.
Mr. Abbe and Mr. Silverman are the members of Iroquois who have the authority and responsibility for the investments made on behalf of the Fund. As such, Mr. Abbe and Mr. Silverman may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants (subject to the applicable Blockers) held by, the Fund. In addition, by virtue of his position as a custodian or trustee of certain Accounts (The Merav Abbe Irrevocable Trust, The Samantha Abbe Irrevocable Trust, The Talia Abbe Irrevocable Trust and The Bennett Abbe Irrevocable Trust), Mr. Abbe may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants (subject to the applicable Blockers) held by, such Accounts. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Each of the Reporting Individuals hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock and Warrants held by the entity specified below, and the following information is included solely for informational purposes: 750,000 shares of Common Stock, 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Series A, D and E Warrants, and 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Series B and C Warrants, each subject to the applicable Blockers, held by American Capital Management LLC (“ACM”), a retirement vehicle for the benefit of Mr. Silverman, Mr. Abbe, and others, for which Kimberly Page serves as the manager of the investments held by ACM, and accordingly, has voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock held by ACM. |
