Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 23, 2016, the registrant issued a press release announcing that, due to a recently adopted Chinese policy relating to outbound investments by Chinese companies, it has agreed with China-based Innovative Medical Management Co. Ltd., or Innovative, to extend the time of execution of the definitive agreements relating to Innovative’s proposed investment of $30,000,000. Prior to the recently adopted Chinese policy relating to outbound investments by Chinese companies, the parties initially intended to enter into definitive agreements relating to the proposed investment no later than December 26, 2016. As a result of the recently adopted Chinese policy, the parties now plan to continue the discussions with respect to the definitive agreements until they have received further clarification about such policies, which is expected during the first half of 2017.
The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those statements regarding the registrant’s proposed private placement of its securities, the expected timing of clarifications relating to the Chinese policy relating to outbound investments by Chinese companies and the plan of its intention to enter into definitive agreements. The registrant may not be successful in negotiating definitive documentation by the time period expected or at all, and even if successful, the sale of securities may not be completed if the conditions to closing such sale are not met. These forward-looking statements and their implications are based on the current expectations of the management of the registrant only, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the registrant’s reports filed from time to time with the SEC. Except as otherwise required by law, the registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
