Securities Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, page 14
3. | We note your response to comment 6 of our letter dated November 5, 2013. Please clarify why you have chosen to register the amount of 8,599,500 shares rather than the entire amount of shares that could be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. |
| |
| We have chosen not to register the entire amount of shares that could be issued to Lincoln Park because of the limit imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the“Commission”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. In compliance with the Commission’s guidance on Rule 415, we chose to register a number of shares that is a little bit fewer than 1/3 of the public float (i.e. 26,668,403 shares). |
| |
| We have clarified this in the registration statement under Risks Related to the Offering. |
Dilution, page 17
4. | We note your response to comment 1 of our letter dated November 5, 2013. Please revise as follows: |
| | |
| | Because the transaction being registered is an indirect primary offering and Lincoln Park is an underwriter, please revise the increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to the offering to reflect the total amount of cash that the company can receive from Lincoln Park based on the amount of shares being registered at a recent share price. Also revise the third paragraph accordingly. |
| | |
| | Disclose that because the price the public will pay for the shares sold by Lincoln Park will likely be higher than the price Lincoln Park paid for the shares, the amount of dilution to the public shareholders may be significantly higher. |
| | |
| We revised the dilution section in accordance with your comment. |
Plan of Distribution, page 22
5. | Because Lincoln Park’s obligation under the Purchase Agreement are not transferable or assignable, please delete the words “and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors- in-interest” in the first sentence of the first paragraph. |
