The cash fees paid to Limetree totaled $59,360. Pursuant to our merger with Raptor Pharmaceuticals Corp., the warrants issued to Limetree Capital were converted into the right to receive warrants to purchase 129,733 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for a five year term from the date of the original warrants (post-merger shares and exercise price).

Our securities owned by Limetree Capital include warrants to purchase up to 438,889 shares of our common stock exercisable with sixty (60) days.

Please refer to the discussion under the heading “Selling Stockholders” which describes these transactions in more detail.
