8. | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock As of March 31, 2014, there were 335,273 shares of the Company’s 6% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding at an issue price of $10.00 per share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of original issuance at the annual rate of 6% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, payable quarterly on the first day of February, May, August and November, commencing February 1, 2005. Any dividends must be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and must come from funds that are legally available for dividend payments. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into the Company’s shares of common stock at a conversion rate of approximately 0.06079 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock based on a price of $164.50. The Company has reserved 20,381 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the remaining shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31, 2014. The shares of previously-converted Preferred Stock have been retired, cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, subject to reissuance by the Board of Directors as shares of Preferred Stock of one or more series. The Company may automatically convert the Preferred Stock into common stock if the closing price of the Company’s common stock has exceeded $246.75, which is 150% of the conversion price of the Preferred Stock, for at least 20 trading days during any 30-day trading period, ending within five trading days prior to notice of automatic conversion. The Certificate of Designations governing the Preferred Stock provides that if the Company fails to pay dividends on its Preferred Stock for six quarterly periods, holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to nominate and elect two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. This right accrued to the holders of Preferred Stock as of August 2, 2010 and two directors were nominated and elected at the annual meeting held on May 24, 2011. The Preferred Stock has no maturity date and no voting rights prior to conversion into common stock, except under limited circumstances. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Stock in whole or in part, out of funds legally available at the redemption prices per share stated below, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends up to the date of redemption:
Year from November 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014 |  | $ | 10.06 |
November 1, 2014 and thereafter |  | $ | 10.00 |
The Preferred Stock is exchangeable, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company on any dividend payment date beginning on November 1, 2005 (the “Exchange Date”) for the Company’s 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (“Debentures”) at the rate of $10 principal amount of Debentures for each share of Preferred Stock. The Debentures, if issued, will mature 25 years after the Exchange Date and have terms substantially similar to those of the Preferred Stock. No such exchanges have taken place to date. Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company converted an aggregate of 792,460 shares of Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 1,513,653 shares of the Company’s common stock. There were no conversions of the Company’s Preferred Stock into shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Since the Company’s transaction with Xcyte Therapies, Inc. in 2006, holders have exchanged 1,711,540 shares of Preferred Stock into common stock as a result of arms-length negotiations between the Company and the other parties. The table below provides details of the aggregate activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013:
|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 |
Preferred shares exchanged |  |  | 792,460 |
Shares of common stock issued: |  |  |  |
At stated conversion terms |  |  | 48,174 |
Incremental shares issued under the exchange transaction |  |  | 1,465,479 |
Total shares of common stock issued |  |  | 1,513,653 |
As the Preferred stockholders received additional shares of common stock issued to them upon conversion as compared to what they would have been entitled to receive under the stated rate of exchange, the Company recorded the excess of (1) the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred to the holders of the Preferred Stock and (2) the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms as a deemed dividend resulting in an increase in the net loss attributable to common shareholders. Specifically, the Company recorded deemed dividends related to the additional shares issued under the exchange transactions of $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Common Stock November 2013 Stock Purchase Agreement On November 14, 2013, the Company entered into a common stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, Aspire purchased 511,509 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Aspire has committed to purchase up to an additional 3,042,038 shares from time to time as directed by the Company or, in certain instances, as agreed to by both parties, over the next two years at prices derived from the market prices on or near the date of each sale. However, such commitment is limited to an additional $18.0 million of share purchases. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 166,105 shares of the Company’s common stock to Aspire in lieu of a commitment fee. The fair value of these shares has been recorded as a component of other assets and will continue to be remeasured each reporting period, until the agreement is exhausted or expired, with gains or losses reported in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company sold 450,000 shares to Aspire under the Purchase Agreement for proceeds of $1.7 million. May 2013 Underwriting Agreement On May 16, 2013, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the public offering and sale of up to 6,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, at a price to the public of $3.00 per share. On May 21, 2013, the Company closed the public offering and completed the sale of 6,833,334 shares of its common stock, which includes 166,667 shares that were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price to the public of $3.00 per share, for proceeds, net of certain fees and expenses, of approximately $19.0 million. Common Stock Bonus During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 31,643 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $0.2 million to employees in lieu of cash in connection with bonuses recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no such stock issuances during the three months ended March 31, 2014. December 2012 Stock Purchase Agreement On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Aspire. Upon execution of the purchase agreement, Aspire purchased 158,982 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 13, 2012, the date upon which the business terms were agreed. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Aspire committed to purchase up to an additional 1,455,787 shares from time to time as directed by the Company over the next two years at prices derived from the market prices on or near the date of each sale. However, such commitment was limited to an additional $19.0 million of share purchases. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 74,548 shares of the Company’s common stock to Aspire in lieu of a commitment fee. The fair value of the 74,548 shares of common stock along with the direct costs incurred in the connection with the Aspire transaction have been allocated to the shares sold at inception of this agreement and the right to sell additional shares in the future based on the ratio of shares sold at inception to the listed shares subject to this agreement. The agreement terminated on November 14, 2013 and no rights or obligations remain under the agreement. March 2012 Sale of Common Stock and Economic Rights On March 22, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with certain existing institutional stockholders, raising approximately $2.9 million of proceeds, net of certain fees and expenses. The proceeds from the financing were used to fund ongoing litigation-related expenses on certain intellectual property and for general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the investors purchased 669,726 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $4.53, which is equal to the 10-day average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the period ending on March 21, 2012. The shares issued at closing were subject to a lock-up period of one year from the date of issuance. In addition to the common stock, investors received contractual rights to receive cash equal to 10% of any future litigation settlement related to the specified intellectual property, subject to a cap. In April 2013, the Economic Rights were settled for payment of $0.6 million. Common Stock Warrants The following table summarizes information about warrants outstanding at March 31, 2014:
