Item 4.        Ownership

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

 

The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is based on 7,909,603 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 17, 2018, plus the assumed issuance of 5,012,677 shares of Common Stock sold in the registered direct offering as represented in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2018, which includes the exercise of the reported November 2015 private placement warrants (the “Reported November 2015 Warrants”) and the reported November 2016 private placement warrants (the “Reported November 2016 Warrants” and together with the Reported November 2015 Warrants, the “Reported Warrants”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Reported Warrants, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise the Reported Warrants to the extent the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “9.99% Blocker”).

 

As of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement, Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. (“Iroquois Master Fund”) held 229,657 shares of Common Stock and Reported Warrants to purchase 156,250 shares of Common Stock (of which the Reported Warrants are subject to the 9.99% Blocker) and Iroquois Capital Investment Group LLC (“ICIG”) held 444,939 shares of Common Stock and Reported Warrants to purchase 145,833 shares of Common Stock (of which the Reported Warrants are subject to the 9.99% Blocker). Mr. Abbe held Reported Warrants to purchase 5,208 shares of Common Stock (of which the Reported Warrants are subject to the 9.99% Blocker) which were distributed to him by American Capital Management LLC in connection with its dissolution.

 

Mr. Abbe shares authority and responsibility for the investments made on behalf of Iroquois Master Fund with Ms. Kimberly Page, each of whom is a director of the Iroquois Master Fund. As such, Mr. Abbe and Ms. Page may each be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants (each subject to the Blockers) held by, Iroquois Master Fund. Iroquois Capital is the investment advisor for Iroquois Master Fund and Mr. Abbe is the President of Iroquois Capital. Mr. Abbe has the sole authority and responsibility for the investments made on behalf of ICIG. As such, Mr. Abbe may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by, and underlying the Reported Warrants (each subject to the Blockers) held by, Iroquois Master Fund and ICIG. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Each of the Reporting Persons hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

 

Item 5.        Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class
 
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following:   o
 
Item 6.        Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person
Not applicable.
 
Item 7.        Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company or Control Person
Not applicable.
 
Item 8.       Identification and Classification of Members of the Group
See Exhibit 1.
 
Item 9.        Notice of Dissolution of Group
Not applicable.
 
Item 10.        Certification
By signing below each of the undersigned certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
