Item 1.01              Entry into a Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 8, 2012 the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Dahlman Rose & Company, LLC, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. (the “Underwriters”) relating to a registered underwritten offering of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $1.75 per share for gross proceeds of $26,250,000.  The net offering proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares, after deducting the Underwriters’ commission and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $24,295,000.

 

The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about November 14, 2012, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The underwriting agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

The Company is offering the above-described securities pursuant to a prospectus, dated May 25, 2012 and a prospectus supplement dated, November 8, 2012, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-180492) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2012. This report on Form 8-K is being filed in part for the purpose of incorporating the exhibits hereto by reference into the registration statement.
