* The shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock that are the subject of this Schedule 13G are issuable by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of a Convertible Promissory Note and Note Purchase Agreement, effective as of October 26, 2012 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note will be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on (the “Conversion Date”) the earlier of (i) 30 days after announcement by the Issuer of top-line data from the Issuer’s Phase II(b) clinical trial evaluating the use of CPP-109 (the Issuer’s formulation of vigabatrin, a GABA aminotransferase inhibitor) for the treatment of cocaine addiction or (ii) March 31, 2013 and may therefore become issuable within 60 days after October 26, 2012. The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note is calculated by dividing the aggregate principal amount of the note, $5,000,000 by the “Conversion Price” in effect on the Conversion Date. The Conversion Price is the dollar weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 15 business day period prior to the Conversion Date, multiplied by 0.9; provided, however, that the Conversion price shall not be less than $0.75 per share or more than $2.50 per share. Accordingly, the number of shares beneficially owned by BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. will fluctuate from time to time based on the underlying trading price and volume of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock reflected in this Schedule 13G were calculated as of the close of trading on November 1, 2012.
