This Prospectus Supplement No. 1, or this prospectus supplement, supplements and amends the prospectus dated April 10, 2012, or the Original Prospectus, relating to the resale of up to 14,368,590 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants described therein.
This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with, and delivered with, the Original Prospectus, and is qualified by reference to the Original Prospectus except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the Original Prospectus.
We are filing this prospectus supplement to reflect the transfer of certain 2011 Warrants by Deerfield entities. The table appearing under the caption “Selling Stockholders” on page S-4 of the Original Prospectus is hereby amended and supplemented by (i) deleting Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International Limited, and (ii) adding the stockholder(s) identified in the table below. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is based upon information provided by the selling stockholder(s) named below. Based upon information provided by the selling stockholder(s) named below, to our knowledge, none of the selling stockholder(s), nor any of their affiliates, directors or principal equity holders (5% or more) has held any position or office or has had any other material relationship with us (or our predecessors or affiliates) during the past three years. Selling stockholders who are registered broker-dealers or affiliates of registered broker-dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, no selling stockholder who is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer received any securities as underwriting compensation.
