ITEM 8.01 OTHER MATERIAL EVENTS

 

As previously reported, subsequent to the November 29, 2016 closing of our underwritten public offering of shares of common stock, series A convertible preferred stock and series C warrants to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-214310, through December 16, 2016, 40 shares of series A preferred stock were converted into 2,666,680 shares of common stock increasing the number of outstanding shares of common stock to 9,634,988. Since that date through January 31, 2017, the remaining 28 shares of series A preferred stock were converted into additional 1,866,676 shares of common stock. As a result, there are no longer any preferred series A shares outstanding. On February 3, 2017, in accordance with the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we filed a report with Nasdaq indicating that the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2017 was 11,501,664.
