Common Stock Issued to Settle Fees for Services Provided

 

On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Advocos LLC, a contract sales organization that serves as part of the Company’s sales force, for the sale of the Company’s wound care products in the United States. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the contract sales organization a monthly fee and potential bonuses that will be based on achievement of certain levels of sales. The Company agreed to issue the contract sales organization cash or shares of common stock to settle fees for its services. During the six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued 135,485 shares of common stock, with a fair market value of $203,000, in connection with this agreement.
