Item 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET
  The information set forth in Item 4 below is incorporated herein by reference.
   
Item 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

 

This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements Items 1 and 4 of the Schedule TO as follows:

 

Clarification Regarding Who May Participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise

 

Although the Company requires that holders of Original Warrants complete an accredited investor questionnaire, holders of Original Warrants are not required to be accredited investors in order to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise. All holders of Original Warrants at the time of their investment in the Company’s private placement financing with respect to which closings occurred on January 15, 2014, January 29, 2014 and February 6, 2014 represented to the Company that they were accredited investors as of the date of their investment. If any holders of Original Warrants have ceased to be accredited investors, we ask that they indicate as such in the accredited investor questionnaire by checking the box marked “The entity is not an ‘Accredited Investor’ because none of the above apply.”

 

If the Company receives a completed accredited investor questionnaire from any holder of Original Warrants that desires to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise indicating that such holder is no longer an accredited investor, the Company will, prior to the Expiration Date, file as part of a subsequent amendment to its Schedule TO and distribute to all holders of Original Warrants supplemental disclosure which includes all of the information required by Rule 502 of Regulation D and will extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise to the extent required under the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder.

 

Accordingly, subsection (i) under the sub-heading “Conditions” in the Summary of Terms and subsection (i) under Section 6 “Conditions to the Offer to Amend and Exercise” in the Offer to Amend and Exercise are hereby amended by inserting the two preceding paragraphs of this “Clarification Regarding Who May Participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise” at the end thereof.

 

Regulatory Plans

 

The Risk Factor in the section of the Offer to Amend and Exercise titled “We are subject to extensive governmental regulations relating to the manufacturing, labeling and marketing of our products” and the description of the Company’s regulatory plans in the section of the Offer to Amend and Exercise titled “Section 16. Information Regarding the Company – Governmental Regulation and Product Approval – U.S. Regulation” are hereby amended and supplemented by the information contained in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Regulatory Plans” under Item 2 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2014 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 Item 10. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

 

This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements Item 10(a) of the Schedule TO as follows:

 

The Company’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2014 set forth in Part I of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as filed with the SEC on November 12, 2014, are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods shown. For purposes of calculating this ratio, (i) earnings consist of loss from operations, and (ii) fixed charges consist of interest expense, which includes amortization of deferred financing costs and imputed interest on the Company’s lease obligations. The interest component of rent was determined based on an estimate of a reasonable interest factor at the inception of the leases.

 

         
    Nine months ended
September 30,
    2014   2013
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges   (C)   (C)

 

(C) Due to the Company’s loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1 for such period. The Company would have had to generate additional earnings of $12.5 million and $ 9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to have achieved a coverage ratio of 1:1.
