11. Capital Stock Dividends During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared and paid cash dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Depositary shares as follows:
BVF Ownership As of June 30, 2023, BVF owned approximately 31.7% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of common stock, and if all the Series X convertible preferred shares were converted, BVF would own 52.4% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of common stock. The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock becomes convertible upon the occurrence of specific events and as of June 30, 2023, the contingency was not met, therefore the Series A Preferred Stock owned by BVF is not included in the as-converted ownership calculation. Due to its significant equity ownership, BVF is considered a related party of the Company. 2018 Common Stock ATM Agreement On December 18, 2018, the Company entered into the 2018 Common Stock ATM Agreement with HCW, under which the Company may offer and sell from time to time at its sole discretion shares of its common stock through HCW as its sales agent, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30.0 million.

The Company will pay HCW a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the 2018 Common Stock ATM Agreement. On March 10, 2021, the Company amended the 2018 Common Stock ATM Agreement with HCW to increase the aggregate amount of shares of its common stock that it could sell through HCW as its sales agent to $50.0 million. No shares have been sold under the 2018 Common Stock ATM Agreement since the agreement was executed. 2021 Series B Preferred Stock ATM Agreement On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 Series B Preferred Stock ATM Agreement with B.
