("TPG Biotech III"). ( 2 )Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, dated as of September 16, 2016 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among Roka Bioscience, Inc. (the "Issuer"), TPG Biotech III and the other purchasers identified therein, TPG Biotech III acquired, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000, 4,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the "Series A Preferred Shares") and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant of the Issuer (the "Warrant"). ( 3 )Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") filed by the Issuer with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 21, 2016, each Series A Preferred Share converts, either at the option of each holder or automatically upon receipt by the Issuer of Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), into a number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), determined by dividing $1,000 by an initial conversion price of $0.70 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, dividends or similar transactions. The initial conversion price was adjusted as a result of the one-for ten reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on October 11, 2016 (the "Stock Split"). ( 4 )The Warrant was initially exercisable for up to 5,714,285.71 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the Warrant. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the exercise price were adjusted as a result of the Stock Split. The Warrant is exercisable for five years from its September 21, 2016 issuance date. ( 5 )Because of the relationship between the Reporting Persons and TPG Biotech III, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the securities reported herein to the extent of the greater of their respective direct or indirect pecuniary interests in the profits or capital accounts of TPG Biotech III.
