11. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we may be subject to various legal matters. As of September 30, 2014 we were not a party to any legal matters that could have a material affect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Material Contracts
We enter into various license, research collaboration and development agreements which provide for payments to us for government grants, fees, cost reimbursements typically with a markup, technology transfer and license fees, and royalty payments on sales. As of September 30, 2014 we were not a party to any agreements that were not in the normal course of our business.
In connection with the PPO, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed that promptly, but no later than 90 calendar days from the final closing of the PPO, the Company would file a registration statement with the SEC (the Registration Statement) covering the resale of (a) the shares of common stock issued in the PPO (including those issued upon conversion of the Bridge Notes), (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants, (c) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the PPO Warrants, and (d) the shares of common stock underlying Bridge Agent Warrants and PPO Agent Warrants (the Registrable Shares). On June 9, 2014, we filed the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (No. 333-195783) and on June 20, 2014 the Registration Statement was declared effective.
The Company must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for one year from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until Rule 144 is available to the holders of Registrable Shares to sell all of their registrable shares without volume limitations within a 90 day period, whichever is earlier. During such time, the Company will be required to pay Liquidated Damages, defined below, if the Registration Statement, after being filed and declared effective, ceases to be continuously effective for more than 30 calendar days.
The Liquidated Damages consist of payment to each holder of Registrable Securities in an amount equal to 1.0% of the PPO offering price per share for each full month that the Registration Statement is not effective, up to a maximum of 8% of the PPO offering price per share (the Liquidated Damages). As of September 30, 2014, we have determined that it is very unlikely that we will incur liquidation damages and as such have not established a liability for liquidated damages.
