Gregg R. Honigblum, the Chief Executive Officer of each of Creation Capital, LLC (“Creation Capital”) and Creation Capital Advisors, LLC (“Creation Advisors”), served on the Company’s board of directors from December 2006 through September 2013. The Company completed offerings of preferred stock and convertible debt through Creation Capital, as its placement agent, and also received strategic financial advisory services from Creation Advisors.
