Effective as of October 26, 2016, the Funds and the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement whereby Section 7.11 of the Purchase Agreement was amended in connection with the entry into the Additional Purchase Agreement described below.

Additionally, effective as of October 27, 2016, certain of the Funds entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Additional Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer and the other investors set forth therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Additional Purchase Agreement, certain of the Funds agreed to purchase 515,464 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer (“Preferred Shares”) at a price of $4.85 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million. The Preferred Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Additional Purchase Agreement are in addition to the 5,773,197 Preferred Shares, including (i) a firm commitment to purchase 3,587,629 Preferred Shares and (ii) a Backstop Commitment (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to purchase up to 2,185,568 Preferred Shares, that the Funds agreed to purchase from the Issuer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the Preferred Shares will be converted into shares of Common Stock upon the approval of the Issuer’s stockholders, at an initial conversion ratio of one share of Common Stock for each Preferred Share (the “Conversion”). Pursuant to the terms of the Additional Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has committed to take all action necessary to hold a special meeting of its stockholders within 60 days of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Additional Purchase Agreement to seek stockholder approval of the Conversion.

The description of Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement and the Additional Purchase Agreement in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements, forms of which are filed as Exhibit 5 and 6 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

Other than as discussed above and in the Initial Schedule 13Ds, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals that would have any of the effects listed in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim the existence of any “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder, between themselves or with any other stakeholders in the Issuer, and neither the entry into the Additional Purchase Agreement nor the filing of this Schedule 13D/A shall be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is a member of a group with any such other person, or that the Reporting Persons beneficially own any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other person.
