Private Placement
On February 23, 2017, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, for the sale of 5,328,187 shares of our Common Stock, or the Shares, to certain investors and one of our directors, or collectively, the Purchasers, in a private placement, or the Offering. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we raised approximately $16.0 million in gross proceeds, which after commissions but before expenses, was approximately $15.0 million by selling 5,228,187 Shares to certain investors at a price of $3.00 per share and by selling 100,000 Shares to one of our directors at a price of $3.45 per share. The Offering closed on March 1, 2017. The Shares were offered and sold to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or state securities laws, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each of the Purchasers represented that it was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and acquired the Shares for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Shares were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC acted as our sole placement agent for the Offering.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file this registration statement on Form S-3, or the Registration Statement, with the SEC within 45 days following the closing of the Offering to register the resale by the Purchasers of the Shares and to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 105 days following the closing of the sale of Shares to the Purchasers (135 days in the event of a full review of the Registration Statement by the SEC). If the Registration Statement has not been declared effective within such 105-day time period (or 135-day time period in the event of a full review of the Registration Statement by the SEC), the Purchase Agreement provides for (i) an initial payment by us of partial liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price for the Shares then owned by the Purchasers, and (ii) additional payments by us of partial liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price for the Shares then owned by the Purchasers for each 30-day period thereafter until the Registration Statement has been filed or declared effective, as the case may be. We have also agreed to other customary obligations regarding registration, including maintenance of the Registration Statement and specified indemnification obligations.
The Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part relates to the resales of the Shares issued to the selling stockholders in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

Relationship with Selling Stockholders
As discussed in greater detail above under the section “Prospectus Summary – Private Placement,” in February 2017, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the selling stockholders pursuant to which we sold and issued the Shares to the selling stockholders and agreed with the selling stockholders to file a Registration Statement to enable the resale of the Shares. Except as noted in the footnotes to the Selling Stockholders table, none of the selling stockholders has held any position or office with us or our affiliates within the last three years or has had a material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years, other than as a result of the ownership of our shares or other securities.

We are registering for resale by the selling stockholders and certain transferees a total of 5,328,187 shares of Common Stock. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholder will be responsible for any compensation to such broker-dealers or agents.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees, or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders will sell their shares of Common Stock subject to the following:
| • | all of a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders or their perspective pledgees, donees, transferees or successors in interest, may be sold on the OTC Bulletin Board Market, any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of our Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, short sales or in a combination of such transactions; |
| • | each sale may be made at market price prevailing at the time of such sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices or at carrying prices determined at the time of sale; |
| • | some or all of the shares of Common Stock may be sold through one or more broker-dealers or agents and may involve crosses, block transactions or hedging transactions. The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or agents, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock to close out short positions or loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers or agents that in turn may sell such shares; and |
| • | in connection with such sales through one or more broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they act as broker-dealer or agent or to whom they sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transaction involved). Any broker-dealer or agent participating in any such sale may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and will be required to deliver a copy of this prospectus to any person who purchases any share of Common Stock from or through such broker-dealer or agent. We have been advised that, as of the date hereof, none of the selling stockholders have made any arrangements with any broker-dealer or agent for the sale of their shares of common stock. |
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by the selling stockholders and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or Rule 144, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A selling stockholder may also transfer, devise or gift the shares of Common Stock by other means not covered in this prospectus in which case the transferee, devisee, or giftee will be the selling stockholder under this prospectus.

Table of Contents
If required at the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the shelf registration statements of which this prospectus is a part, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-deals or agents, and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
We will bear all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with the state securities of “blue sky” laws. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, as well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts for the selling stockholders, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or the selling stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related securities purchase agreement or will be entitled to contribution. Once sold under this shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
We have agreed to keep the Registration Statement that includes this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the closing under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the date on which all Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any three-month period without the requirement that we be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or (iii) such time as all shares of common stock sold under the Purchase Agreement have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144.
The validity of the shares of our common stock to be offered for resale by the selling stockholders under this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Cooley LLP, Broomfield, Colorado.
The financial statements, schedule and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been so incorporated by reference in reliance upon the reports of Grant Thornton LLP, independent registered public accountants, upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
