In connection with the offering, the Company will issue approximately 5 million registered shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share. Concurrently in a private placement, the Company will issue approximately 3,750,000 million warrants.

Rodman & Renshaw, a unit of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, is acting as the exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include business development activities, capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses.

The shares of common stock described above (but not the warrants or the shares of common stock underlying the warrants) are being offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-204159). Such shares of common stock may be offered only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement.

Accordingly, the warrants and underlying shares of common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and such applicable state securities laws.
