| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On August 6, 2018, the Issuer filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the results of the Issuer’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 2, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Issuer’s stockholders ratified the issuance and sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, and approved the issuance of Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, as required by and in accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d). As a result, Stockholder Approval has been obtained and Broadfin Master has the option to convert at any time the 2,200 shares of Series B Preferred Stock it owns into Shares, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation that prohibits a holder of Series B Preferred Stock from converting its shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.98% of the total number of Shares then issued and outstanding, which percentage may be increased or decreased on 61 days’ notice from the holder to the Issuer (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

CUSIP NO. 09060J106
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 59,351,956 Shares outstanding as of June 25, 2018, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2018 in connection with the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of RSUs beneficially owned by each Reporting Person that vest within 60 days hereof and upon the exercise of Options beneficially owned by each Reporting Person that are exercisable within 60 days hereof are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such Reporting Person.
As of the close of business on August 8, 2018, Broadfin Master beneficially owned 5,923,325 Shares, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding. Broadfin Capital, as the investment manager of Broadfin Master, may be deemed to beneficially own the 5,923,325 Shares owned by Broadfin Master, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding. Mr. Kotler, as the managing member of Broadfin Capital, may be deemed to beneficially own the 5,923,325 Shares owned by Broadfin Master, constituting approximately 9.98% of the Shares outstanding.
In connection with Mr. Kotler’s service on the Issuer’s board of directors, on August 1, 2018, Mr. Kotler received 96,247 RSUs and 48,123 Options which will vest over four years, as described in Item 3, and over which he has assigned the economic benefit to Broadfin Master and the power to vote and dispose of the underlying Shares to Broadfin Capital.
Excluded from the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership are 10,582,403 Shares issuable upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by Broadfin Master that are not beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which prohibits Broadfin Master from converting such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Shares at this time. Upon written notice to the Issuer, Broadfin Master may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage specified in such notice, which increase or decrease in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall take effect on the 61st day after delivery to the Issuer.
Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
(b) By virtue of their respective positions with Broadfin Master, each of Broadfin Capital and Mr. Kotler may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by Broadfin Master.
(c) Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in the Shares during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.
