 federal income tax treatment of an exercise of a warrant on a cashless basis, it is possible that a cashless exercise will be treated as non-taxable, either because the exercise is not a gain realization event or because it qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization. In the former case, the holding period of the shares of common stock received upon exercise of warrants should commence on the day after the warrants are exercised. In the latter case, the holding period of the shares of common stock received upon exercise of warrants would include the holding period of the exercised warrants.

However, it is also possible that a cashless exercise of an accompanying warrant will be treated as in part a taxable exchange, in which case gain or loss would be recognized to the extent a portion of the warrants are deemed surrendered to pay the exercise price of the remaining warrants. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of an exercise of an accompanying warrant on a cashless basis, including with respect to their holding period and tax basis in the common stock received.

If an accompanying warrant expires without being exercised, a U.S. Holder will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such warrant. Such loss generally will be long-term capital loss if, at the time of the expiration, the U.S. Holder’s holding period in such warrant is more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Constructive Dividends on Pre-funded Warrants or Accompanying Warrants

We do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. However, if at any time during the period in which a U.S. Holder holds pre-funded warrants or accompanying warrants, the exercise price or shares or other consideration issuable on conversion of the pre-funded warrants or accompanying warrants is adjusted as a result of certain events affecting our common stock (or in certain circumstances, there is a failure to make adjustments), such adjustments may result in the deemed payment of a distribution to a U.S. Holder. Any such deemed distribution would be taxable as a dividend, return of capital or capital gain as described above under “— Distributions.” U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of any adjustments to the exercise price and shares or other consideration issuable on conversion of the pre-funded warrants and accompanying warrants.

It is unclear whether a constructive dividend deemed paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder would be eligible for the lower applicable long
