We sold 3,425,376 shares of common stock in the offering at a purchase price of $1.05 per share. The material terms of the offering are described in a prospectus supplement which was filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 15, 2017.  The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of us and the Placement Agent. We also agreed in the Agreement to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities.
