· Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-224287) filed with the SEC on April 13, 2018, pertaining to the registration of (i) 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company and (ii) 300,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of an employment inducement stock option award (the “Advani Inducement Award”) granted to Rahul Advani pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated March 28, 2018 between the Company and Mr. Advani (the “Advani Agreement”).

 

With respect to the Common Stock subject to the Advani Inducement Award, 187,500 shares of Common Stock included in this Registration Statement are no longer issuable pursuant to the Advani Agreement.

 

· Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-228349) filed with the SEC on November 13, 2018, pertaining to the registration of an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of employment inducement stock option awards, consisting of (i) 400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an employment inducement stock option award granted to Alexander Tinsley pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated August 15, 2018 between the Company and Mr. Tinsley and (ii) 400,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an employment inducement stock option award (the “Hausman Inducement Award”) granted to Charles Hausman pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated October 12, 2018 between the Company and Mr. Hausman (the “Hausman Agreement”).
