On March 3, 2017, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 23, 2016, by and between the Issuer and Cardinal Health 414, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal Health ("414 LLC"), the Issuer issued to 414 LLC a warrant to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as further described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2017 (the “Warrant”). Cardinal Health does not directly own the Warrant or any Common Stock of the Issuer; however, by reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Cardinal Health is deemed to beneficially own the Warrant that is owned by 414 LLC and the 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of the Warrant.
Cardinal Health, as of March 3, 2017, had the sole power to vote and dispose of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 5.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock over which Cardinal Health had voting and dispositive power is made up of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon complete exercise of the Warrant.
The percentages calculated in this Schedule 13G are based upon an aggregate of 171,190,985 shares of Common Stock, which consists of 161,190,985 shares of Common Stock outstanding on January 23, 2017 (as disclosed in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2017) and the additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon complete exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms.
