Shareholders’ Equity During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 2,756 and 6,923 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, in lieu of cash compensation, to its independent directors for services rendered during 2013. Additionally, the Company issued to employees 60,000 and 618,000 options, during the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2013, respectively, to purchase shares of Class A common stock upon vesting and exercise. During March 2013, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to our SVB Loan agreements (see Note 3. Revolving Line of Credit). On June 18, 2013, SVB completed a cashless exercise of the SVB Warrants resulting in the Company issuing 78,973 shares of Class A common stock to SVB. The cashless exercise is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the day before notification of exercise is received. On June 17, 2013, the Company’s stock closed at $2.92 per share. On June 3, 2013, the Company closed the private placement (the “Private Placement”) contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) entered into on May 24, 2013 with unaffiliated investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”). Upon closing, the Company issued 3,366,974 shares of Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $2.75 per share, or $9,259 in the aggregate, and Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,683,488 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.75 per share, which are immediately exercisable and have a term of 5 years. The Company received net proceeds of $8,414 after offering expenses. Proceeds from the transaction will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Company reviewed the accounting treatment for the warrants issued under the Private Placement and determined the warrants met the applicable requirement under ASC 480 for classification as a liability (See Note 3. Fair Value Measurements). Under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Investors in conjunction with the Private Placement, the Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement with the SEC on June 20, 2013, for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Private Placement and the shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on July 3, 2013. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income.
