On January 13, 2014, the Issuer effected a one-for-fifty reverse split of its issued and outstanding Common Shares. After such stock split and as of February 12, 2014, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 441,625 Common Shares, consisting of 429,338 Common Shares and 12,287 Common Shares underlying shares of Series C-12 Preferred Stock, which is convertible into Common Shares. After such stock split and as of February 5, 2014, the Reporting Persons owned approximately 1,313.242 shares of Series C-12 Preferred Stock, which is convertible into Common Shares at $0.58 per share,

  and 127.17 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, which is convertible at $3.50 per share. The shares of each of the C-12 Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock can only be converted to the extent that, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own no more than 9.999% of the Issuer’s Common Shares. Because Boxer Capital, Boxer Management, Joseph Lewis and MVA may be deemed to be a group pursuant to Rule 13d, their aggregate beneficial ownership of Common Shares underlying the Preferred Stock cannot exceed 9.999% of the Issuer’s Common Shares.
