On March 9, 2015, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the "Agreement"), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as sales agent ("Cantor"), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Cantor shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares"), up to an aggregate offering price of $50.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from these sales to fund our research and development activities, including our Phase 3 clinical trial of FV-100, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and possible acquisitions of other companies, products or technologies, though no such acquisitions are currently contemplated.

Under the Agreement, Cantor may sell the Shares by methods deemed to be an "at-the-market" offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for the Shares or to or through a market maker. In addition, under the Agreement, Cantor may sell the Shares by any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions.

We are not obligated to make any sales of the Shares under the Agreement. The offering of Shares pursuant to the Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all of the Shares subject to the Agreement or (2) the termination of the Agreement by Cantor or us. We will pay Cantor a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold.

As of September 30, 2016, we had not made any sales under the Agreement. During October and November 2016, we sold approximately 3.7 million shares of our common stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $8.5 million under the Agreement.
