At-The-Market Offering of Common Stock (Chardan Capital Markets LLC )

 

On January 7, 2014, we entered into an Engagement Agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell up to a maximum aggregate amount of 1,980,000 shares of our common stock from time to time through Chardan as our sales agent, under our shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187397) (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with the SEC, pursuant to which any shares that are issued under the Engagement Agreement will be sold.

 

Upon delivery of a placement notice by the Company, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Engagement Agreement, Chardan was authorized to sell our common stock by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices on the NASDAQ Capital Market, in block transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, or as otherwise agreed by Chardan and us. Chardan agreed to act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of NASDAQ. We have also provided Chardan with customary indemnification rights.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we sold 2,214,612 shares of our common stock under the registration statement, resulting in gross proceeds of $10,000,000, in an at-the-market offering, in which Chardan was our agent. We received net proceeds of $9,696,013. We paid Chardan a total commission of $299,882 pursuant to the Engagement Agreement.
