Placement agents in the offering received commissions equal to approximately 9.7% of gross proceeds, for an aggregate commission of approximately $970,000, including reimbursements for their reasonable out of pocket expenses.

The warrants were valued at $1,110,211, have been recorded as equity issuance costs, and were registered on a registration statement dated May 28, 2014.
