limited to its pecuniary interest, if any, in Xmark Fund, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Xmark LP"), and Xmark Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands
exempted company ("Xmark Ltd").
Xmark LP is the holder of: (i) 679,865 shares (the "Xmark LP Shares") of Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Antares Pharma, Inc.,
a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"); (ii) warrants (the "2003 Xmark LP
Warrants") which, subject to certain exercise restrictions contained therein,
entitle Xmark LP to purchase an aggregate of up to 238,125 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the "2003 Xmark LP Warrant
Shares"), which exercise price is subject to adjustment as set forth in the 2003
Xmark LP Warrants; and (iii) 44,927 shares (the "Xmark LP Series D Preferred
Shares") of the Company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01
per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). Subject to certain restrictions
contained in the Company's Certificate of Designations of Series D Preferred
Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"), each Xmark LP Series D Preferred
Share is convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate of
449,270 shares of Common Stock (the "Xmark LP Conversion Shares").
Xmark Ltd is the holder of: (i) 1,808,878 shares of Common Stock (the "Xmark Ltd
Shares," and together with the Xmark LP Shares, the "Shares"); (ii) warrants
(the "2003 Xmark Ltd Warrants," and together with the 2003 Xmark LP Warrants,
the "2003 Warrants") which, subject to certain exercise restrictions contained
therein, entitle Xmark Ltd to purchase an aggregate of up to 511,875 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the "2003 Xmark Ltd
Warrant Shares," and together the 2003 Xmark LP Warrant Shares, the "2003
Warrant Shares"), which exercise price is subject to adjustment as set forth in
the 2003 Xmark Ltd Warrant; and (iii) 135,234 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
(the "Xmark Ltd Series D Preferred Shares", and together with the Xmark LP
Series D Preferred Shares, the "Preferred Shares"). Subject to certain
restrictions contained in the Certificate of Designations, each Xmark Ltd Series
D Preferred Share is convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, for an
aggregate of 1,352,340 shares of Common Stock (the "Xmark Ltd Conversion
Shares," and together with the Xmark LP Conversion Shares, the "Conversion
Shares").
Prior to March 1, 2004, Xmark LP was the holder of warrants (the "Initial Xmark
LP Warrants") which, subject to certain exercise restrictions contained therein,
entitled Xmark LP to purchase up to an aggregate of 569,325 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $0.28 per share (the "Initial Xmark LP Warrant
Shares"), and Xmark Ltd was the holder of warrants (the "Initial Xmark Ltd
Warrants", and together with the Initial Xmark LP Warrants, the "Initial
Warrants") which, subject to certain exercise restrictions contained therein,
entitled Xmark Ltd to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,680,675 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $0.28 per share (the "Initial Xmark Ltd Warrant
Shares," and together with the Initial Xmark LP Warrant Shares, the "Initial
Warrant Shares"), which exercise prices are subject to adjustment as set forth
in the Initial Warrants.
Each of the 2003 Warrants, the Initial Warrants and the Certificate of
Designations, provides that in no event shall such warrant or such Preferred
Shares, be exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock to the
extent that the issuance of 2003 Warrant Shares, Initial Warrant Shares and/or
Conversion Shares thereunder, taking into account the Shares, would result in
the "beneficial ownership" (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder) by Xmark LP,
Xmark Ltd, or their affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock (the
"Issuance Limitation"). Such Issuance Limitation may be waived by Xmark LP
and/or Xmark Ltd upon 61 days written notice to the Company. The Issuance
Limitation with respect to the Initial Warrants was waived on December 30, 2003.
As a result of that waiver, the Issuance Limitation with respect to the 2003
Warrants and the Conversion Shares is currently ineffective.
On March 1, 2004, Xmark LP and Xmark Ltd fully exercised the Initial Warrants
and were issued the Initial Warrant Shares. As a result, on March 1, 2004, Xmark
LP became the holder of an additional 569,325 shares of Common Stock, and Xmark
Ltd became the holder of an additional 1,680,675 shares of Common Stock.
XAM serves as investment manager for each of Xmark LP and Xmark Ltd. In such
capacity, XAM possesses the power to vote and direct the disposition of all
securities held by Xmark LP and Xmark Ltd. Thus, as of May 14, 2004 for the
purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, XAM may be deemed to beneficially own
5,040,353 shares of Common Stock, or 12.4% of the Common Stock deemed issued and
outstanding as of that date.
The total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by XAM, including
2003 Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares is 5,040,353 or 12.4% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 14, 2004 (based on information
provided by the Company). This does not include 30,000 shares of Common Stock
and Warrants to acquire 349,999 shares of Common Stock owned by Sabbatical
Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Sabbatical"). Nor does
this include the 20,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to acquire 700,001
shares of Common Stock owned by certain employees of XAM. Sabbatical is
controlled by Mitchell D. Kaye. Mr. Kaye is Manager of XAM. XAM disclaims
beneficial ownership of the securities held by these employees and by
Sabbatical. Sabbatical disclaims beneficial ownership of securities beneficially
owned by each of XAM, Xmark LP and Xmark Ltd. XAM acquired these shares of
