(1) On February 13, 2018, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Holdings Co., Ltd., whose rights and obligations were subsequently assigned to Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. ("Harbin"), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to Harbin, and Harbin agreed to purchase from the Issuer, 299,950 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $1,000 per share (the "Securities Purchase"). On November 7, 2018, the Issuer and Harbin entered into an Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Issuer and Harbin agreed, among other things, to complete the Securities Purchase as follows: (i) 100,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that were issued on November 8, 2018 for a total purchase price of $100,000,000,
(2) (Continued from Footnote 1) (ii) 50,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued on December 28, 2018 for a total purchase price of $50,000,000 and (iii) 149,950 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued on February 13, 2019 for a total purchase price of $149,950,000 (the "Third Issuance"). On February 13, 2019, the Issuer and Harbin consummated the Third Issuance.
(3) Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accrues dividends quarterly at an annual rate of 6.50% of the Stated Value. Dividends are payable, at the Issuer's option, in cash or in kind by issuing additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or by increasing the Stated Value by the amount per share of the dividend, or a combination thereof. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock calculated by dividing the Stated Value, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, by the conversion price. "Stated Value" means a per share value of $1,000, subject to increase in connection with the payment of dividends in kind as described above.
