Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
Waiver of Delaware Section 203 Interested Party Business Combination Stockholder Supermajority Vote Requirement.
Under Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), if a party, and affiliated entities, owns 15% or more of our Company’s common stock (an “Interested Party”) and within three years from obtaining that ownership is also a party in a proposed Business Combination, as that term is defined in DGCL, involving our Company, then DGCL Section 203 requires approval of the transaction by stockholders who hold two-thirds of our outstanding common stock, excluding shares held by the Interested Party or its affiliates. The Company has waived this special vote level requirement for Biotechnology Value Fund (“BVF”). This does not alter any of the terms or conditions of our Rights Agreement dated June 17, 2007, as amended (which triggers certain events should ownership exceed 19.99% without Board approval), and does not waive any other rights the Company may have, including those in DGCL or our Certificate of Incorporation. For a discussion of these provisions, see the description of our capital stock in Amendment No. 3 to our Registration Statement on Form 8A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8A/A on June 9, 2011.
We have not entered into any agreements with, nor are we currently in discussions with BVF regarding a business combination. BVF is not required to acquire additional shares of our common stock and BVF’s decision, if any, to acquire additional shares of common stock will be made by BVF alone.
