12. | Preferred Stock, Common Stock and Warrants
Preferred Stock Outstanding As of December 31, 2015 there were 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. On February 26, 2015, 26,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 2,600,000 shares of common stock. On July 23, 2015, 17,430 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 1,743,000 shares of common stock and no Series B Convertible Preferred Stock remained outstanding. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 100 shares of common stock at any time at the holder’s option. However, the holder was prohibited from converting the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder and its affiliates would own more than 9.98% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will receive a payment equal to $0.001 per share before any proceeds are distributed to the common stockholders. Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is required to amend the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by the Company’s board of directors. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock as to distributions of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may rank senior to, on parity with or junior to any class or series of the Company’s capital stock created in the future depending upon the specific terms of such future stock issuance. Preferred Share Purchase Rights On November 4, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”). The dividend was payable on November 17, 2008 to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), at a price of $6.00 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. Upon the acquisition of, or announcement of the intent to acquire, 20 percent or more of our outstanding Common Shares by a person, entity or group of affiliated or associated persons (“Acquiring Person”), each holder of a Right, other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person, will have the right to purchase that number of Common Shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50 percent or more of our assets or earning power are sold to an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to purchase, at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. The Rights plan is intended to maximize the value of the Company in the event of an unsolicited attempt to take over the Company in a manner or on terms not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Rights will expire on November 17, 2018, unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. Common Stock Outstanding As of December 31, 2015, there were 38,445,995 shares of our common stock outstanding. In June and July 2015, we sold an aggregate of 2,125,439 shares of common stock under an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2014 ATM Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $49.0 million. The 2014 ATM Agreement terminated in July 2015. In July 2015, we completed an underwritten public offering of 5,227,273 shares of our common stock, including 681,818 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of an overallotment option previously granted to the underwriters. All of the shares were offered at a price to the public of $27.50 per share. The net proceeds to us from this offering were approximately $134.9 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. On November 12, 2015, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2015 ATM Agreement”) with Cowen under which we could offer and sell our common stock from time to time up to aggregate sales proceeds of $90 million through Cowen as our sales agent. As of December 31, 2015, we have sold no shares of common stock under the 2015 ATM Agreement. Warrants As of December 31, 2015, no warrants were outstanding. During the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, warrants were exercised to purchase an aggregate of approximately 383,000 and 11,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock.
