The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein and therein by reference contain such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
Words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent management’s current judgment regarding future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: the cost, timing and results of CorMedix’s ongoing Phase 3 trial for Neutrolin® in the U.S.; obtaining additional financing to support CorMedix’s research and development and clinical activities and operations; the scope, cost and timing of the development program for Neutrolin®, including whether a second Phase 3 clinical trial is required; the risks and uncertainties associated with CorMedix’s ability to manage its limited cash resources; obtaining regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials and to commercialize CorMedix’s approved products and product candidates, including approval of Neutrolin in the U.S. by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and marketing of Neutrolin in countries other than Europe; the risks associated with the launch of Neutrolin in new markets; CorMedix’s ability to maintain its listing on the NYSE American; CorMedix’s ability to enter into, execute upon and maintain collaborations with third parties for its development and marketing programs; the outcome of clinical trials of CorMedix’s product candidates and whether they demonstrate these candidates’ safety and effectiveness; CorMedix’s dependence on its collaborations and its license relationships; achieving milestones under CorMedix’s collaborations: CorMedix’s dependence on preclinical and clinical investigators, preclinical and clinical research organizations, manufacturers, sales and marketing organizations, and consultants; and protecting the intellectual property developed by or licensed to CorMedix. Please also see the discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” below and otherwise incorporated by reference herein, and in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by any of our subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated herein or therein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the respective dates of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or the date of the document incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the more detailed information and financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus and any prospectus supplement carefully, including the risk factors and the financial statements and related notes set forth in and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement.
 
Overview
 
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases.
 
Our primary focus is to develop our lead product candidate, Neutrolin®, for potential commercialization in the U.S. and other key markets. We have in-licensed the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize Neutrolin, which is a novel anti-infective solution (a formulation of taurolidine, citrate and heparin 1000 u/ml) under development in the U.S. for the reduction and prevention of catheter-related infections and thrombosis in patients requiring central venous catheters in clinical settings such as dialysis, critical/intensive care, and oncology. Infection and thrombosis represent key complications among dialysis, critical care/ intensive care and cancer patients with central venous catheters. These complications can lead to treatment delays and increased costs to the healthcare system when they occur due to hospitalizations, the need for IV antibiotic treatment, long-term anticoagulation therapy, removal/replacement of the central venous catheter, related treatment costs and increased mortality. We believe Neutrolin has the potential to address a significant unmet medical need and represents a significant market opportunity.
 
In July 2013, we received CE Mark approval for Neutrolin. In December 2013, we commercially launched Neutrolin in Germany for the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections and maintenance of catheter patency in hemodialysis patients using a tunneled, cuffed central venous catheter for vascular access.  To date, Neutrolin is registered and may be sold in certain European Union and Middle Eastern countries for such treatment. In April 2017, we entered into a commercial collaboration with Hemotech SAS covering France and French overseas territories.
 
We initiated our LOCK-IT 100 Phase 3 clinical trial in hemodialysis patients with a central venous catheter in December 2015. Two successful pivotal trials to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Neutrolin generally are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to secure marketing approval in the United States.
 
In April 2017, a safety review by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board, or DSMB, was completed. The DSMB unanimously concluded that it was safe to continue the LOCK-IT-100 clinical trial as designed based on its evaluation of data from the first 279 patients randomized into the trial. On July 25, 2018, we announced that the DSMB had completed its review of the interim analysis of the data from the LOCK-IT-100 study and, because the pre-specified level of statistical significance was reached and efficacy had been demonstrated, the DSMB recommended the study be terminated early.
 
We are sponsoring a pre-clinical research collaboration for the use of taurolidine as a possible combination treatment for rare orphan pediatric tumors. In February 2018, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to taurolidine for the treatment of neuroblastoma. We are seeking one or more strategic partners or other sources of capital to help us develop and commercialize taurolidine for the treatment of neuroblastoma.
 
We are also evaluating opportunities for the possible expansion of taurolidine as a platform compound for use in certain medical devices. Patent applications have been filed in wound closure, surgical meshes, wound management, and osteoarthritis, including visco-supplementation.   Based on initial feasibility work, we are advancing pre-clinical studies for taurolidine-infused surgical meshes, suture materials, and hydrogels. We will seek to establish development/commercial partnerships as these programs advance.
 
The FDA recently informed us that it regards taurolidine as a new chemical entity and therefore an unapproved drug. Consequently, there is no appropriate predicate device currently marketed in the U.S. on which a 510k approval process could be based. As a result, we will be required to submit a premarket approval application for marketing authorization for these indications. In the event that the New Drug Application for Neutrolin is approved by the FDA, the regulatory pathway can be revisited with the FDA.  Although there will presumably still be no appropriate predicate, de novo Class II designation can be proposed, based on a risk assessment and a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
 
In August 2017, we secured a research grant from the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, to expand our antimicrobial hydrogel medical device program.  In addition to our ongoing development of taurolidine-incorporated hydrogels to reduce infections in common burns, this funding will be applied toward the development of an advanced hydrogel formulation that is designed to reduce the risk of potentially life-threatening infection and promote healing of more severe burn injuries, for which there is significant need.

Use of Proceeds
 
The 12,664,258 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and that are being offered for resale by the selling stockholders will be sold for the accounts of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. As a result, all proceeds from the sales of the 12,664,258 shares of common stock currently outstanding and offered for resale hereby will go to the selling stockholders and we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of those shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.
 
We may receive up to a total of $13,222,724 in gross proceeds if all of the warrants are exercised hereunder for cash. However, as we are unable to predict the timing or amount of potential exercises of the warrants, we have not allocated any proceeds of such exercises to any particular purpose. Accordingly, all such proceeds are allocated to working capital. It is possible that the warrants may expire and may never be exercised.
 
After the exercise of any of the warrants, we would not receive any proceeds from the resale of those shares by the selling stockholders because those shares will be sold for the accounts of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus.
 
We will incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.
 
Dividend Policy
 
We have never paid dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future. Further, pursuant to the terms of our Series D, Series E and Series F Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, we may not declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions on any of our shares or other equity securities as long as any of those preferred shares remain outstanding. See “Dividend Policy.”

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on March 19, 2018, as amended on April 11, 2018 and July 10, 2018, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018, filed on May 15, 2018, and June 30, 2018, filed on August 14, 2018, which descriptions are incorporated in this prospectus by reference in their entirety, as well as in any prospectus supplement hereto. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently view as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The 12,664,258 shares issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants that are being offered for resale by the selling stockholders will be sold for the accounts of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. As a result, all proceeds from the sales of the 12,664,258 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants and offered for resale hereby will go to the selling stockholders and we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of those shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.
 
We may receive up to a total of $13,222,724 in gross proceeds if all of the warrants are exercised hereunder for cash. However, as we are unable to predict the timing or amount of potential exercises of the warrants, we have not allocated any proceeds of such exercises to any particular purpose. Accordingly, all such proceeds are allocated to working capital. It is possible that the warrants may expire and may never be exercised.
 
After the exercise of any of the warrants, we would not receive any proceeds from the resale of those shares by the selling stockholders because those shares will be sold for the accounts of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus.
 
We will incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
The prices at which the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of our common stock, by negotiation between the selling stockholders and buyers of our common stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”
 
DILUTION
 
The common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders upon exercise of their warrants is common stock that is issuable upon such exercise. To the extent the common stock underlying the warrants is issued, there will be dilution to the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following table set forth certain information regarding the selling stockholders and the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, which information is available to us as of September 30, 2018. The selling stockholders may offer the shares under this prospectus and any prospectus supplement from time to time and may elect to sell some, all or none of the shares set forth under this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. However, for the purposes of the table below, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling stockholders. In addition, a selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of that holder’s shares of common stock since the date on which the selling stockholder provided information for this table. We have not made independent inquiries about such transfers or dispositions. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 9.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Exchange Act.

Due to the Ownership Limitation (as defined below), Elliott Associates, L.P.

Elliott Associates beneficially holds: (i) 2,833,470 shares of our common stock held by Elliott International, (ii) 1,333,398 shares of our common stock held by Elliott Associates, (iii) May 2013 warrants held by Manchester exercisable for 500,000 shares of our common stock, (iv) 52,500 shares of our Series C-2 non-voting convertible preferred stock held by Elliott Associates convertible into 525,000 shares of our common stock, (v) October 2013 warrants held by Elliott Associates exercisable for 262,500 shares of our common stock, (vi) 97,500 shares of our Series C-2 non-voting convertible preferred stock held by Elliott International convertible into 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, (vii) October 2013 warrants held by Elliott International exercisable for 487,500 shares of our common stock, (viii) 73,962 shares of our Series D non-voting convertible preferred stock held by Manchester convertible into 1,479,240 shares of our common stock, (ix) March 2015 Warrants held by Manchester convertible into 200,000 shares of our common stock, (x) May 2017 Series B warrants held by Elliott International convertible into 1,360,001 shares of our common stock, (xi) May 2017 Series B warrants held by Elliott Associates convertible into 640,000 shares of our common stock, (xii) 89,623 shares of our Series E non-voting convertible preferred stock held by Manchester convertible into 1,959,759 shares of our common stock, (xiii) 1,360 shares of our Series F non-voting convertible preferred stock held by Elliott International convertible into 8,395,062 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment), (xiv) 640 shares of our Series F non-voting convertible preferred stock held by Elliott Associates convertible into 3,950,617 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment), (xv) November 2017 warrants exercisable for 384,103 shares of our common stock held by Elliott International, and (xvi) November 2017 warrants exercisable for 180,755 shares of our common stock held by Elliott Associates (the May 2013 warrants, the October 2013 warrants, the March 2015 Warrants, the May 2017 Series B warrants, the November 2017 warrants and all shares of preferred stock shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Convertible Securities”). However, in accordance with Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, the number of shares of our common stock into which the Convertible Securities are convertible or exercisable, as applicable, are limited pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Securities to that number of shares of our common stock which would result in Elliott Associates having aggregate beneficial ownership of, with respect to the May 2013 warrants, the October 2013 warrants, the March 2015 Warrants, the May 2017 Series B warrants, the November 2017 warrants, the Series C-2 preferred stock, the Series D preferred stock, the Series E preferred stock and the Series F preferred stock, 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (the "Ownership Limitation"). Elliott Associates disclaims beneficial ownership of any and all shares of our common stock issuable upon any conversion or exercise of the Convertible Securities if such conversion or exercise would cause Elliott Associates’ aggregate beneficial ownership to exceed or remain above the applicable Ownership Limitation (as is currently the case). Therefore, Elliott Associates disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of our common stock, issuable upon any conversion or exercise of the May 2013 warrants, the October 2013 warrants, the March 2015 Warrants, the May 2017 Series B warrants, the November 2017 warrants, the Series C-2 preferred stock, the Series D preferred stock, the Series E preferred stock and the Series F preferred stock, which conversion of exercise would be prohibited by the Ownership Limitation.

Certain Relationships and Transactions with the Selling Stockholders
 
In the last three fiscal years, we had the following transactions with the following selling stockholders.
 
Elliott Associates, L.P. and Elliott International, L.P.
 
In September 2014, as part of the removal of anti-dilution, price reset and change of control provisions in various securities that had caused those securities to be classified as derivative liabilities, we entered into a Consent and Exchange Agreement with Manchester, an affiliate of Elliott Associates, L.P. and Elliott International, L.P. (collectively, “Elliott”), long-term institutional investors in CorMedix, pursuant to which Manchester had a right of 60% participation in equity financings undertaken by us prior to September 15, 2017. Pursuant to this right of participation, Manchester elected partial participation in the equity financing that we closed on May 3, 2017 and invested $2,000,000.

On March 3, 2015, we entered into a backstop agreement with Manchester under which Manchester had agreed to lend us, at our request, up to $3,000,000.  We did not access the loan and the agreement expired on April 30, 2015. We issued two warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 283,400 common shares with an exercise price of $7.00 per share and a term of five years as a result of entering into the backstop agreement. Additionally, we granted Manchester the right for as long as it or its affiliates hold any of our common stock or securities convertible into its common stock to appoint up to two members to our board of directors and/or to have up to two observers attend board meetings in a non-voting capacity. As of December 31, 2017, two board members and one observer had been appointed to the board. Our board of directors subsequently elected the observer to the board.
 
In November 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Elliott (the “Buyers”) whereby they purchased $3.0 million of a newly issued CorMedix Series F convertible preferred stock at $1,000 per share. Separately, on November 9, 2017, we entered into a backstop agreement with the Buyers to purchase up to an additional $3.0 million of Series F convertible preferred stock at $1,000 per share (the “Backstop Agreement”), at our sole discretion, beginning January 15, 2018, through March 31, 2018. As consideration for the Backstop Agreement, we issued 947,329 warrants, exercisable for three years, to purchase shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.001. The number of shares issuable under the warrants was determined by the closing price of our common stock on November 8, 2017, which was $0.5278. The number of warrants was subsequently reduced from 947,329 to 564,858 as a result of equity capital raised from our then current ATM program and the sale of common stock to our directors, executive officers and other certain employees totaling $2.4 million. The Series F preferred stock is convertible into common stock at a price of $0.162 per share, which was reduced from $0.6334 pursuant to the terms of the Series F preferred stock and represents a 10% discount to the closing price of the stock on March 31, 2018. The preferred stock became mandatorily convertible on April 2, 2018, subject to certain equity conditions, one of which had not been met as of the date of this prospectus. The Backstop Agreement expired unused.
 
On April 28, 2017, we entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, relating to an underwritten public offering of 16,190,697 shares of our common stock, together with Series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,143,022 shares of our common stock and Series B warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,143,022 shares of our common stock, at a price to the public of $0.75 per share and related warrants. Elliott purchased 2,666,668 shares of common stock, Series A warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares (that expired unexercised on September 10, 2018), and Series B warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. The purchase by Elliott was on the same terms as those for all other investors.
 
On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a binding term sheet with Elliott Management Corporation for a proposed $3.0 million backstop facility. The proposed backstop facility was available for drawing between April 16, 2018 and July 31, 2018. In view of the DSMB recommendation to terminate the LOCK-IT-100 study for efficacy and our ongoing negotiations with our CRO regarding financial considerations for the interim efficacy analysis of the LOCK-IT-100 study, we determined to not draw down on this facility.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We anticipate that the selling stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest may sell all or a portion of the shares offered by this prospectus from time to time on securities exchanges or in private transactions, at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices reasonably related to the market price or at negotiated prices. Sale of the shares offered by this prospectus may be effected by one or more of the following methods:
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases.
 
sales to one or more brokers or dealers as principal, and resale by those brokers or dealers for their account, including resales to other brokers and dealers.
 
block trades in which a broker or dealer attempts to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction.
 
privately negotiated transactions with purchasers.
 
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange.
 
settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus.
 
a combination of any such methods of sale. or
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. No such broker-dealer will receive compensation in excess of that permitted applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, rules. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to as the Securities Act). Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that agent, dealer or broker-dealer under the Securities Act.
 
The selling stockholders may from time to time 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 under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
We are not aware as of the date of this prospectus of any agreements between any selling stockholder and any broker-dealers regarding the sale of the shares offered by this prospectus, although we have made no inquiry in that regard. If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Any selling stockholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any broker, dealer or other agent executing a sell order on behalf of a selling stockholder may be considered to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in which case commissions received by any of these brokers, dealers or agents and profit on any resale of the shares may be considered to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
All costs, fees and expenses of registration incurred in connection with the offering will be borne by us. All selling and other expenses incurred will be borne by the selling stockholders. We have agreed to indemnify certain of the investors against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
 
We have never declared dividends on our equity securities, and currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We expect to retain our future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Further, pursuant to the terms of our Series D, Series E and Series F Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, we may not declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions on any of our shares or other equity securities as long as any of those preferred shares remain outstanding. Subject to the foregoing, the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our overall financial condition and any other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Purchase Rights. In the event we issue any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock or other securities pro rata to the holders of common stock, then the a holder of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to acquire, upon the same terms a pro rata amount of such stock or securities as if the Series E Preferred Stock had been converted to common stock.
 
Series F Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock

senior to the Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C-2 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C-3 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (subject to the us obtaining any consent, waiver or other authorization from the holders of the Series C-3 Convertible Preferred Stock necessary for the subordination of the Series C-3 Convertible Preferred Stock to the Series F Preferred Stock), the Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock;

Conversion. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of our common stock at a per share price of $0.162 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the certificates of designation for the Series F Preferred Stock) at any time at the option of the holder, except that a holder will be prohibited from converting shares of Series F Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding.
  
Liquidation Preference. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Series F Preferred Stock will receive a payment equal to $1,000.00 per share of Series F Preferred Stock, but before any proceeds are distributed to the holders of common stock, Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C-2 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C-3 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
 
Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws discussed below may have the effect of making more difficult or discouraging a tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover attempt. These provisions are expected to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increasing our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
 
Delaware Anti-takeover Law
 
We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless:  
 
the board of directors approves the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder prior to the date the interested stockholder attained that status;
 
when the stockholder became an interested stockholder, he or she owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and certain shares owned by employee benefits plans; or
 
on or subsequent to the date the business combination is approved by the board of directors, the business combination is authorized by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the voting stock of the corporation at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.
 
Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.
 
The existence of Section 203 of the DGCL would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock.
 
Charter Documents
 
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our company. First, our Amended and Restated Bylaws limit who may call special meetings of the stockholders, such meetings may only be called by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the board of directors or holders of an aggregate of at least 15% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote. Second, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not include a provision for cumulative voting for directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient percentage of a class of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. Third, our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the number of directors on our board, which may range from five to nine directors, shall be exclusively fixed by our board, which has set the current number of directors at six. Fourth, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our authorized number of directors and any vacancies in our board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or other cause (including removal from office by a vote of the shareholders) will be filled by a majority of our board then in office. Finally, our Amended and Restated Bylaws establish procedures, including 90-day advance notice requirement, with regard to the nomination of candidates for election as directors and stockholder proposals. These and other provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control or management of our company.
