We registered these shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on behalf of the selling stockholder, to be offered and sold by them from time to time.
We are not selling any shares of Common Stock under the Prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of such shares. We are paying the cost of registering the shares of Common Stock covered by the Prospectus as well as various related expenses. The selling stockholder is responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their shares.
Sales of the shares by the selling stockholder may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices and/or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The selling stockholder may sell shares directly or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder, the purchasers of the shares, or both. The selling stockholder may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by the Prospectus and we do not know when or in what amount the selling stockholder may sell their shares of Common Stock hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part. We provide more information about how the selling stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 119 of the Prospectus.
