Pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase the Warrant from the Warrant Holder, at a purchase price of $16.07 per share, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $4,463,887.16 (the “Warrant Repurchase”). The Warrant Repurchase price reflects the difference between the exercise price of the Warrant and the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date the Repurchase Agreement was executed. The Warrant Repurchase closed on August 30, 2018.

The terms of the Warrant Repurchase and the Repurchase Agreement were approved by the board of directors of the Company. Under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the payment of the cash Warrant Repurchase price from the Company to the Warrant Holder was in full satisfaction of any and all obligations owed by the Company to the Warrant Holder with respect to the repurchased Warrant. At the closing of the Warrant Repurchase, the Warrant, which was set to expire on December 23, 2018, was cancelled.
