(1) | Calculated pursuant to Rule 457(o) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based on an estimate of the proposed maximum offering price. Pursuant to Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act, no separate registration fee is required for the units because the units are being registered in the same registration statement as the common stock of the registrant underlying the units. |
(2) | The non-transferable subscription rights to purchase units are being issued without consideration. Pursuant to Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act, no separate registration fee is required for the rights because the rights are being registered in the same registration statement as the securities of the registrant underlying the rights. |
(3) | Pursuant to Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act, no separate registration fee is required for the warrants because the warrants are being registered in the same registration statement as the common stock of the registrant issuable upon exercise of the warrants. |
(4) | In addition to the shares of common stock set forth in this table, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, this registration statement also registers such indeterminate number of shares of common stock as may become issuable upon exercise of the warrants as the same may be adjusted as a result of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other similar transactions. |
(5) | The Registrant previously paid $3,894.00 of the registration fee with prior filings of the Registration Statement. |
Q: | What is the rights offering? |
A: | We are distributing to you, at no charge, one non-transferable subscription right to purchase [•] Units for each share of our common stock that you owned as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 14, 2020, either as a holder of record or, in the case of shares held of record by custodian banks, brokers, dealers or other nominees on your behalf, as a beneficial owner of such shares. |
Q: | Why are we conducting the rights offering? |
A: | The purpose of this rights offering is to raise equity capital in a cost-effective manner that provides all of our existing stockholders the opportunity to participate. We are conducting the rights offering to provide for our general working capital purposes, including the ongoing investment in current and future clinical and pre-clinical studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of Pulse Biosciences’ proprietary NPS technology, the development and enhancement of Pulse Biosciences’ CellFX System, obtaining regulatory clearance for our CellFX System, sales and marketing activities and general corporate operations. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire or invest in complementary business, technologies, product candidates or other intellectual property, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so. For a detailed discussion, see “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page 30. |
Q: | What is a Unit? |
A: | Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and 0.15 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. To the extent that the Alternate Price is lower than the Initial Price, we will sell additional Units, but we will not sell fractional Units. The common stock and warrants comprising the Units will separate upon the closing of this rights offering and will be issued separately; however, they may only be purchased as a Unit and the Unit will not trade as a separate security. |
Q: | What are the terms of the warrants? |
A: | Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price that shall be equal to the subscription price for one Unit. The exercise price must be paid in cash at the time of exercise and there is no “cashless” exercise provision for the warrants. Each warrant will be exercisable immediately upon completion of this rights offering and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the completion of this rights offering. |
Q: | Are the warrants listed? |
A: | The warrants will not be listed for trading on Nasdaq or any other securities exchange or market. The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agency agreement with Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as warrant agent. |
Q: | Will fractional shares be issued upon exercise of subscription rights or upon the exercise of warrants? |
A: | No. As we will not sell fractional Units, and each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock, we will not issue fractional shares of common stock in the rights offering. Rights holders will only be entitled to purchase a whole number of Units, representing a whole number of shares of common stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Units a holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase. Rights holders will also only be entitled to such number of warrants calculated by rounding down to the nearest whole number the product computed by multiplying the number of Units to which a rights holder is entitled by a factor of 0.15. Any Excess Subscription Amount resulting from the reduction of the subscription price from the Initial Price to the Alternate Price will be put towards the purchase of additional Units (either towards your basic subscription right, if available, or towards the over-subscription right if you have already exercised your basic subscription right in full). The excess amount for any fractional Units will be returned to you as soon as practicable, in the form in which made. You will not receive interest or a deduction on any payments refunded to you under the rights offering. You will not receive a refund or other compensation for any unissued fractional warrants. |
Q: | How was the subscription price determined? |
A: | In determining the subscription price, our board of directors, with the advice and input of management and advisors, considered a number of factors, including: the likely cost of capital from other sources and general conditions of the securities markets, the price at which our stockholders might be willing to participate in the rights offering, historical and current trading prices for our common stock, our need for liquidity and capital, the value of the warrants being issued as a component of the Unit and the desire to provide an opportunity to our stockholders to participate in the rights offering on a pro rata basis. In conjunction with its review of these factors, our board of directors also reviewed a range of subscription prices in various prior rights offerings of public companies. The subscription price is not necessarily related to our book value, net worth or any other established criteria of value and may or may not be considered the fair value of the Units to be offered in the rights offering. You should not consider the subscription price as an indication of value of us or our common stock. The market price of our common stock may decline during or after the rights offering, including below the subscription price for the Units. You should obtain a current quote for our common stock before exercising your subscription rights and make your own assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future, and the terms of the rights offering. |
Q: | Why did our board of directors elect to price the rights offering at the lesser of the Initial Price and the Alternate Price? |
A: | The price of the Units is based on the market price of our common stock. Our board of directors elected to price the rights offering at the lesser of the Initial Price and the Alternate Price to attempt to protect stockholders from any decline in the price of the Company’s common stock, which may occur after the commencement of the rights offering and prior to the Expiration Date. While there is no guarantee that this mechanism will sufficiently protect stockholders that exercise their rights (see “Risk Factors” below), our board of directors and management wanted to encourage participation in the offering and strike what they believe to be a fair balance between the capital needs of the Company and the fair value of the Units sold to the stockholders in this offering. |
Q: | Because the final subscription price may not be determined until the Expiration Date, how much money should I send to the subscription agent if I want to exercise my rights? |
A: | For purposes of initially exercising your rights, you should assume that the subscription price will equal the Initial Price of $7.01 per Unit. Accordingly, for each right that you would like to exercise, including any rights that you would like the opportunity to exercise pursuant to the over-subscription right, you should send $7.01 per Unit, noting that each subscription right corresponds to [•] Units at the Initial Price. For assistance you may contact the information agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., toll free at 1-888-789-8409 or by e-mail at shareholder@broadridge.com. |
Q: | What happens if the final subscription price is less than the Initial Price? |
A: | If, on the Expiration Date, the Alternate Price is lower than the Initial Price, any Excess Subscription Amounts will be put towards the purchase of additional Units. For example, assume that the initial subscription price is $5.00 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of 1 share of our common stock and 0.15 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. If you want to exercise your rights to purchase 100 Units, you will promptly send payment |
Q: | What is the basic subscription right? |
A: | Each subscription right gives our stockholders the right to purchase [•] Units at the Initial Price, each Unit consisting of one share of our common stock and 0.15 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, which shall be payable in cash and subject to the limits described below. To the extent that the Alternate Price is lower than the Initial Price, we will sell additional Units. We have granted to you, as a stockholder of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the record date, one subscription right for each share of our common stock you owned at that time. For example, if you owned 100 shares of our common stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the record date, you would have received 100 subscription rights corresponding to [•] Units at the Initial Price, and the Units would altogether consist of [•] shares of common stock and [•] warrants, subject to certain limitations. You may exercise all or a portion of your basic subscription rights or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights at all. However, if you exercise fewer than all of your basic subscription rights, you will not be entitled to purchase any additional Units pursuant to the over-subscription right. |
Q: | What is the over-subscription right? |
A: | We do not expect all of our stockholders to exercise all of their basic subscription rights. The over-subscription right provides stockholders that exercise all of their basic subscription rights the opportunity to purchase the Units that are not purchased by other stockholders. If you fully exercise your basic subscription right, the over-subscription right of each right entitles you to subscribe for additional Units unclaimed by other holders of rights in this rights offering at the same subscription price per Unit. If an insufficient number of Units is available to fully satisfy all over-subscription right requests, the available Units will be distributed proportionately among rights holders who exercise their over-subscription right based on the number of Units each rights holder subscribed for under the basic subscription right. The proration process will be repeated until all Units have been allocated or all over-subscription exercises have been fulfilled, whichever occurs earlier. |
Q: | Who will receive subscription rights? |
A: | Holders of our common stock will receive one non-transferable subscription right for each share of common stock owned as of May 14, 2020, the record date. |
Q: | How many Units may I purchase if I exercise my subscription rights? |
A: | You will receive one non-transferable subscription right for each share of our common stock that you owned on May 14, 2020, the record date. Each subscription right evidences a right to purchase [•] Units at the Initial Price, which shall be paid in cash. To the extent that the Alternate Price is lower than the Initial price, we will sell additional Units. You may exercise any number of your subscription rights. |
Q: | Am I required to subscribe in the rights offering? |
A: | No. |
Q: | What happens if I choose not to exercise my subscription rights? |
A: | If you choose not to exercise your subscription rights, you will retain your current number of shares of common stock of Pulse Biosciences. If other stockholders fully exercise their subscription rights or exercise a greater proportion of their subscription rights than you exercise, the percentage of our common stock owned by these other stockholders will increase relative to your ownership percentage, and your voting and other rights in the Company will likewise be diluted. Further, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants to be issued pursuant to the rights offering will dilute the ownership interest of stockholders not participating in this rights offering or holders of warrants who have not exercised them. |
Q: | Am I required to exercise all of the subscription rights I receive in the rights offering? |
A: | No. You may exercise any number of your subscription rights, or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights. If you do not exercise any subscription rights, the number of shares of our common stock you own will not change; however, you will own a smaller proportional interest in us than if you had timely exercised all or a portion of your subscription rights. If you choose not to exercise your subscription rights or you exercise fewer than all of your subscription rights and other stockholders fully exercise their subscription rights or exercise a greater proportion of their subscription rights than you exercise, the percentage of our common stock owned by these other stockholders will increase relative to your ownership percentage, and your voting and other rights in us will likewise be diluted. In addition, if you do not exercise your basic subscription right in full, you will not be entitled to participate in the over-subscription right. |
Q: | If I am a holder of stock options or warrants, may I participate in the rights offering? |
A: | No. Holders of outstanding stock options or warrants on the record date will not be entitled to participate in the rights offering, except to the extent they hold shares of our common stock on the record date. |
Q: | Will the equity awards of our employees, officers and directors automatically convert into common stock in connection with the rights offering? |
A: | No, equity awards will not automatically convert into common stock. Holders of our equity awards, including outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, will not receive rights in the rights offering in connection with such equity awards, but will receive subscription rights in connection with any shares of our common stock held as of the record date. |
Q: | How soon must I act to exercise my subscription rights? |
A: | If you received a rights certificate and elect to exercise any or all of your subscription rights, the subscription agent must receive your completed and signed rights certificate and payment (and your payment must clear) prior to the expiration of the rights offering, which is June 8, 2020, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. If you hold your shares in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, your nominee may establish a deadline prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 8, 2020 by which you must provide it with your instructions to exercise your subscription rights and payment for your Units. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, extend the rights offering one or more times. Our board of directors may cancel or amend the rights offering at any time before its expiration. In the event that the rights offering is cancelled, all subscription payments received will be returned promptly, without interest or penalty. |
Q: | Does Pulse Biosciences need to achieve a minimum participation level in order to complete the rights offering? |
A: | No. We may choose to consummate, amend, extend or terminate the rights offering regardless of the number of Units actually purchased. |
Q: | Can Pulse Biosciences terminate the rights offering? |
A: | Yes. Our board of directors may decide to terminate the rights offering at any time prior to the expiration of the rights offering, for any reason. If we cancel the rights offering, any money received from subscribing stockholders will be refunded as soon as practicable, without interest or a deduction on any payments refunded to you under the rights offering. See “The Rights Offering — Expiration of the Rights Offering and Extensions, Amendments and Termination” beginning on page 36. |
Q: | May I transfer my subscription rights if I do not want to purchase any Units? |
A: | No. Should you choose not to exercise your rights, you may not sell, give away or otherwise transfer your rights. However, rights will be transferable as required by operation of law, for example, upon the death of the recipient. |
Q: | When will the rights offering expire? |
A: | The subscription rights will expire and will have no value, if not exercised prior thereto, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 8, 2020, unless we decide to extend the rights offering Expiration Date until some later time or terminate it earlier. See “The Rights Offering — Expiration of the Rights Offering and Extensions, Amendments and Termination” beginning on page 36. The subscription agent must actually receive all required documents and payments in cash, as provide herein, before the Expiration Date. There is no maximum duration for the rights offering. |
Q: | Is there a guaranteed delivery period? |
A: | No. There is no guaranteed delivery period in connection with this rights offering, so you must ensure that you properly complete all required steps prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 8, 2020, unless we decide to extend the rights offering Expiration Date until some later time or terminate it earlier. |
Q: | How do I exercise my subscription rights if I own shares in certificate form? |
A: | You may exercise your subscription rights by properly completing and executing your rights certificate and delivering it, together in full with the subscription price for each Unit you subscribe for, to the subscription agent on or prior to the Expiration Date. If you use mail, we recommend that you use insured, registered mail, return receipt requested. |
Q: | What form of payment is required to purchase Units? |
A: | As described in the instructions accompanying the rights certificate, you must timely pay the full subscription price for the full number of Units you wish to acquire under your subscription rights at the Initial Price by delivering to Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the subscription agent for this rights offering, a certified check, bank draft, cashier’s check, personal check that clears before the Expiration Date, money order, or wire transfer of funds. |
Q: | What should I do if I want to participate in the rights offering but my shares are held in the name of my custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee? |
A: | If you hold our common stock through a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, we will ask your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee to notify you of the rights offering. If you wish to exercise your rights, you will need to have your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee act for you. To indicate your decision, you should complete and return to your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee the form entitled “Beneficial Owner Election Form” substantially in the form accompanying this prospectus. You should receive this form from your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee with the other rights offering materials. You should contact your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee if you believe you are entitled to participate in the rights offering but you have not received this form. |
Q: | What should I do if I want to participate in the rights offering, but I am a stockholder with a foreign address or a stockholder with an Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office address? |
A: | The subscription agent will not mail rights certificates to you if you are a stockholder whose address is outside the United States or if you have an Army Post Office or a Fleet Post Office address. To exercise your rights, you must notify the subscription agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at least three (3) business days prior to the Expiration Date, and establish to the satisfaction of the subscription agent that it is permitted to exercise your subscription rights under applicable law. If you do not follow these procedures by such time, your rights will expire and will have no value. |
Q: | Will I be charged a sales commission or a fee if I exercise my subscription rights? |
A: | We will not charge a brokerage commission or a fee to rights holders for exercising their subscription rights. However, if you exercise your subscription rights through a custodian bank, broker, dealer or nominee, you will be responsible for any fees charged by your custodian bank, broker, dealer or nominee. |
Q: | Are there any conditions to my right to exercise my subscription rights? |
A: | Yes. We may terminate the rights offering, in whole or in part, if at any time before completion of the rights offering there is any judgment, order, decree, injunction, statute, law or regulation entered, enacted, amended or held to be applicable to the rights offering that in the sole judgment of our board of directors would or might make the rights offering or its completion, whether in whole or in part, illegal or otherwise restrict or prohibit completion of the rights offering. See “The Rights Offering — Conditions to the Rights Offering” beginning on page 37. |
Q: | Has the board of directors made a recommendation regarding the rights offering? |
A: | Neither the Company, nor our board of directors is making any recommendation as to whether or not you should exercise your subscription rights. You are urged to make your decision based on your own assessment of the rights offering, after considering all of the information herein, including the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of this prospectus, and of your best interests. |
Q: | Have any directors, officers, and/or stockholders agreed to exercise their rights? |
A: | All holders of our common stock as of the record date for the rights offering will receive, at no charge, the non-transferable subscription rights to purchase Units as described in this prospectus. To the extent that our directors and officers held shares of our common stock (including shares of restricted common stock) as of the record date, they will receive the subscription rights and, while they are under no obligation to do so, will be entitled to participate in the rights offering. |
Q: | May stockholders in all states participate in the rights offering? |
A: | Although we intend to distribute the rights to all stockholders, we reserve the right in some states to require stockholders, if they wish to participate, to state and agree upon exercise of their respective rights that they are acquiring the securities for investment purposes only, and that they have no present intention to resell or transfer any securities acquired. Our securities are not being offered in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted under applicable local laws. |
Q: | Are there risks in exercising my subscription rights? |
A: | The exercise of your subscription rights involves significant risks. Exercising your rights means buying our Units, which consist of additional shares of our common stock and warrants exercisable in cash for additional shares of our common stock, and should be considered as carefully as you would consider any other equity investment. Among other things, you should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 20. |
Q: | How many shares of our common stock will be outstanding after the rights offering? |
A: | The number of shares of our common stock that will be outstanding after the rights offering will depend on the number of Units that are purchased in the rights offering. Assuming no additional shares of common stock are issued by us prior to consummation of the rights offering and assuming all offered Units are sold in the rights offering at the Initial Price, we will issue approximately [•] shares of common stock. In that case, we will have approximately [•] shares of common stock outstanding after the rights offering. This would represent an increase of approximately [•]% in the number of outstanding shares of common stock. We would also issue warrants to purchase approximately an additional [•] shares of our common stock. To the extent that the Alternate Price is lower than the Initial Price, we will sell additional Units, each consisting of one share of common stock and 0.15 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in the rights offering and the number of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock outstanding after the rights offering will accordingly be higher. |
Q: | What will be the proceeds of the rights offering? |
A: | If all rights are exercised, we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $30 million before expenses (excluding the proceeds from any warrants which may be exercised following the completion of the rights offering), as provided herein. We are offering Units in the rights offering with no minimum purchase requirement. As a result, there is no assurance we will be able to sell all or any of the Units being offered, and it is not likely that all of our stockholders will participate in the rights offering. |
Q: | After I exercise my rights, can I change my mind and cancel my purchase? |
A: | No. Once you exercise and send in your subscription rights certificate and subscription payment, as provided herein, you cannot revoke the exercise of your subscription rights, even if you later learn information about Pulse Biosciences that you consider to be unfavorable. You should not exercise your subscription rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase Units at the Initial Price. See “The Rights Offering — No Revocation or Change” beginning on page 41. |
Q: | What are the material U.S. Federal income tax consequences of exercising my subscription rights? |
A: | Although the authorities governing transactions such as this rights offering are complex and unclear in certain respects, we believe and intend to take the position that the distribution of subscription rights to a holder with respect to such holder’s shares of common stock should generally be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a non-taxable distribution. For a detailed discussion, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 44. You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular consequences to you of the rights offering. |
Q: | If the rights offering is not completed, for any reason, will my subscription payment be refunded to me? |
A: | Yes. The subscription agent will hold all funds it receives in a segregated bank account until the rights offering is completed. If the rights offering is not completed, for any reason, any money received from subscribing stockholders will be refunded in the form which paid as soon as practicable, without interest or deduction. If your shares are held in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, it may take longer for you to receive the refund of your subscription payment than if you were a record holder of your shares because the subscription agent will return payments through the record holder of your shares. |
Q: | Will I receive interest on any funds I deposit with the subscription agent? |
A: | No. You will not be entitled to any interest on any funds that are deposited with the subscription agent pending completion or cancellation of the rights offering. If the rights offering is cancelled for any reason, the subscription agent will return this money to subscribers, without interest or penalty, as soon as practicable. |
Q: | If I exercise my subscription rights, when will I receive my shares of common stock and warrants that I purchased in the rights offering? |
A: | We will issue the shares of common stock and warrants included in the Units purchased in the rights offering to you in book-entry, or uncertificated, form of our common stock purchased in the rights offering as soon as practicable after the expiration of the rights offering and after all pro rata allocations and adjustments have been completed. We will not be able to calculate the number of shares and warrants to be issued to each exercising holder until after the Expiration Date of the rights offering. |
Q: | When can I sell the shares of common stock and warrants I receive in the rights offering? |
A: | If you exercise your subscription rights and receive common stock included in the Units purchased in the rights offering, you will be able to resell the shares of common stock once your account has been credited with those shares, provided you are not otherwise restricted from selling the shares (for example, because you are an insider or affiliate of the Company or because you possess material nonpublic information about the Company). Although we will endeavor to issue the shares and warrants as soon as practicable after completion of the rights offering, there may be a delay between the Expiration Date of the rights offering and the time that the shares and warrants are issued due to factors such as the time required to complete all necessary calculations. In addition, we cannot assure you that, following the exercise of your subscription rights, you will be able to sell the shares purchased in the rights offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price. The warrants issued in the rights offering will not be listed on any securities exchange or other trading market. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell or otherwise transfer the warrants. |
Q: | To whom should I send my forms and payment? |
A: | If your shares are held in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, the nominee will notify you of the rights offering and provide you with the rights offering materials, including a form entitled “Beneficial Owners Election Form.” You should send the Beneficial Owner Election form and payment, as provided therein, to the nominee, at the deadline that your nominee sets which may be earlier than the expiration of the rights offering. You should contact your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee if you believe you are entitled to participate in the rights offering but you have not received this form. |

Q: | Will this rights offering result in the Company “going private” for purposes of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act? |
A: | No. The rights offering is not a transaction or series of transactions which has either a reasonable likelihood or a purpose or producing a “going private effect” as specified in Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act. Given the structure of the rights offering, as described in this prospectus, Pulse Biosciences will continue to be registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act and intends to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market following completion of the rights offering. |

The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company. |
• | Stockholder Meetings. Our bylaws provide that in general a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, any of our officers, or any stockholder holding at least fifteen percent (15%) of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. |
• | Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. |
• | Limits on Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent. We have provided in our bylaws that our stockholders may not act by written consent. This limit on the ability of our stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws. |
• | Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The amendment of the above provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. |
• | prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
• | upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not for determining the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (i) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and (ii) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
• | at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |

1 | Insert the date that is the five year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. |
a) | Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Termination Date by delivery to the Company or the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the warrant certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised (the “Warrant Certificate”), or, in the case of warrants represented by one or more book-entry certificates (each, a “Book-Entry Warrant Certificate”), the Warrants to be exercised (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) shown on the records of the DTC to an account of the Warrant Agent at the DTC designated for such purpose in writing by the Warrant Agent to the DTC from time to time, (ii) a facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail of the election to purchase the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants to be exercised (the “Notice of Exercise”), properly completed and executed by the registered holder on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, properly delivered by the institution that has an account with the DTC (such institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a “Participant”) in accordance with the DTC’s procedures, and (iii) the Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of the United States of America by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds. |
b) | Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall $_____, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). |
c) | Mechanics of Exercise. |
i. | Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Warrant Agent shall, by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Business Day following the Exercise Date of any Warrant, advise the Company or the transfer agent and registrar in respect of (a) the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise as to the number of Warrants exercised, (b) the instructions of each Holder or Participant, as the case may be, with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, and the delivery of definitive Warrant Certificates, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise, (c) in case of a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, the notation that shall be made to the records maintained by the DTC, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (d) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar shall reasonably require. |
ii. | Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant. |
iii. | Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. |
iv. | Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(c)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. |
v. | No Fractional Shares or Scrip. Warrants may be exercised only in whole numbers of Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate for the number of unexercised Warrants remaining shall be executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent, and delivered to the Holder at the address specified on the books of the Warrant Agent or as otherwise specified by such Holder. |
vi. | Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. |
vii. | Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof. |
(d) | Right of Redemption. Subject to this Section 2(d), if, at least six months after the Initial Exercise Date the VWAP exceeds $[____]2 (subject to adjustment) per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, then the |
2 | 200% of the Exercise Price. |
a) | Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. |
b) | Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights. |
c) | Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the |
d) | Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the same rights as the holders of Common Stock as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which a Successor Entity (as defined below) that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted or listed on a Trading Market assumes this Warrant such that the Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded common stock of such Successor Entity and only if such Fundamental Transaction is within the Company’s control and the consideration is in all stock in the Successor Entity, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below), at the Holder’s option, shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), an amount, in the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being paid to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock, or any combination thereof, or whether holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. If the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall have the option to require the Company or any Successor Entity to purchase its Warrant for the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that the Company may elect that the consideration for such purchase be (i) in the form of Common Stock of the Company valued at the Black Scholes Value delivered to the Holder immediately prior to the |
e) | Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding. |
f) | Notice to Holder. |
i. | Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of |
ii. | Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder.

To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein. |
a) | Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued. |
b) | New Warrants. If this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute |
c) | Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. |
a) | No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. |
b) | Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity (including obtaining an open penalty bond protecting the Warrant Agent) or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. |
c) | Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. |
d) | Authorized Shares. |
e) | Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. |
f) | Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. |
g) | Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder. |
h) | Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 3957 Point Eden Way, Hayward, California 94545, Attention: Sandra A.

Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, |
i) | Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. |
j) | Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. |
k) | Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares. |
l) | Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder or the beneficial owner of this Warrant, on the other hand. |
m) | Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant. |
n) | Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant. |
o) | Warrant Agency Agreement. If this Warrant is held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant is issued subject to the Warrant Agency Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Warrant conflicts with the express provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall govern and be controlling. |
