Capitalization and Equity Structure
 
Reverse Stock Split
 
After the close of the stock market on May 4, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-7 reverse split of its common stock. As a result, all common stock share amounts included in this filing have been retroactively reduced by a factor of seven, and all common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of seven, with the exception of our common stock par value. Common stock outstanding, including the issuance of new shares of common stock as a result of the conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of stock options and warrants, was affected by the 1-for-7 reverse split.
 
Common Stock
 
In April 2017, the Company sold in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 3,732 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase 1,866 shares of common stock. The aggregate net proceeds of the transaction were approximately $10,919.
 
Rights Offering
 
In August of 2017, the Company commenced a $34,000 rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to its existing stockholders and certain warrant holders of the Company on the record date of August 10, 2017. The subscription price was $1.00 per share and each subscription right provided 1.1608 shares of the Company’s common stock plus an oversubscription right, subject to availability. Concurrent with the rights offering, the Company entered into a backstop investment agreement with Puissance Capital Management. The backstop investment agreement contemplated the purchase of any unsubscribed shares from the Rights Offering under the same terms. The common shares issued to the backstop investor were unregistered and subject to a cap of 40% of the Company’s total outstanding shares.
 
In connection with the rights offering, the Company entered into a Warrant Repurchase and Amendment Agreement (“Repurchase Agreement”) with all of the holders of the warrants issued in April 2017 (the “April 2017 Warrants”). Under the Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase the April 2017 Warrants from each holder at a price of $1.23 per underlying share. The Company’s obligation to repurchase the warrants was subject to the warrant holder’s participation in the Rights Offering. The Repurchase Agreement also permitted the holders of the April 2017 Warrants to use all or a portion of the consideration received as a result of the Company’s repurchase of the April 2017 Warrants to pay the subscription price for the exercise of their subscription rights in the Rights Offering. Upon the closing of the Rights Offering the Company repurchased 1,866 warrant shares and applied consideration of $2,245 to the subscribed shares in the Rights Offering.
 
The Company sold an aggregate of 13,465 shares of its common stock to existing stockholders and certain warrant holders in the Rights Offering for gross proceeds of $13,465, which after deducting expenses, totaling approximately $286, resulted in net proceeds of $13,179 from the Rights Offering; and 20,535 shares of its common stock to the backstop investor in a private placement in conjunction with the Rights Offering for gross proceeds of $20,535. Of the $286 in direct issuance costs, warrants with a fair value of $131 have been issued to an information agent. The warrants are classified as equity in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering to broaden its footprint in Asia, support research, development and commercialization activities, and for working capital.

April 2017 Warrants were repurchased at a price of $1.23 per underlying share, as a result of the Rights Offering.
 
Information Agent Warrants
 
In September 2017, in connection with the Rights Offering in August of 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase 200 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 to an information agent (the “Information Agent Warrants”). The Information Agent Warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance. These warrants were recorded in stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
April 2017 Warrants
 
In April 2017, the Company issued the April 2017 Warrants to purchase 1,866 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $4.10 per share. The April 2017 Warrants were to become exercisable six months following the issuance date and were to expire five years from the date they became exercisable. The April 2017 Warrants contained a put-option provision. Under this provision, while the April 2017 Warrants were outstanding, if the Company entered into a Fundamental Transaction, defined as a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the Company or any successor entity would, at the option of each warrant holder, exercisable at any time within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase the warrant from the holder exercising such option by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of such holder’s warrant on the date of the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. Because of this put-option provision, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of common stock in the registered direct offering was recorded as a warrant liability equal to the fair value of the warrants on the date of issuance and the April 2017 Warrants were marked to market at each reporting date. Issuance costs allocated to the April 2017 Warrants were $185 and were expensed as financing costs on the date of issuance. All of the issued and outstanding April 2017 warrants were repurchased at a price of $1.23 per underlying share, as a result of the August 2017 Rights Offering. As of September 30, 2017, none of the April 2017 Warrants remained outstanding.
 
2015 Warrants
 
In December 2015, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,122 shares with an exercise price of $3.74 per share (the “2015 Warrants”). The 2015 Warrants contain a put-option provision. Under this provision, while the 2015 Warrants are outstanding, if the Company enters into a Fundamental Transaction, defined as a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the Company or any successor entity will, at the option of each warrant holder, exercisable at any time within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase the warrant from the holder exercising such option by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of such holder’s warrant on the date of the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. Because of this put-option provision, the 2015 Warrants are classified as a liability and are marked to market at each reporting date.
 
The warrant liability related to the 2015 Warrants is measured at fair value at each reporting date using certain estimated inputs, which are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following assumptions were used in the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to measure the fair value of the 2015 warrants as of September 30, 2017:
