July 2016 Securities Offering On July 12, 2016 Company closed on a registered public offering of securities to a single institutional investor pursuant to a placement agent agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. The Company received net proceeds from the transaction of $34.8 million, after deducting underwriter discounts and offering expenses of $2.6 million. The transaction consisted of 1,474,000 shares of common stock, 7,680,000 Series A Warrants and 4,926,000 prefunded Series B Warrants. The Series A warrants have an exercise price of $5.83 per share and are initially exercisable beginning on the date that is six months and one day after the issue date and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the initial exercisability date. The Series B warrants are fully pre-funded warrants and are immediately exercisable. The Series B warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the issue date. The pre-funded Series B warrants were offered to the investor, whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of FuelCell Energy’s outstanding common stock following the consummation of this offering. In lieu of purchasing shares of common stock that would result in its ownership of the Company in excess of 4.99%, the investor purchased the Series B warrants. Such Series B warrants grant the investor the right to acquire additional shares of FuelCell Energy common stock at a point in time of its choosing within five years of the issue date of the Series B warrants. The following table outlines the warrant activity during the third quarter of Fiscal 2016:
|  | Series A Warrants |  | Series B Prefunded Warrants

The warrants and pre-funded warrants continue to qualify for permanent equity accounting treatment. Other Common Stock Sales and Outstanding Warrants The Company may sell common stock on the open market from time to time. The proceeds of these sales may be used for general corporate purposes or to pay obligations related to the Company's outstanding Series 1 and Series B preferred shares. During the nine months ended July 31, 2016, the Company sold 5,484,272 shares of the Company's common stock at prevailing market prices through periodic trades on the open market and raised approximately $33.5 million, net of fees.
