The closing of the sale of the securities is expected to occur on or about September 9, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Capstone intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants and shares underlying the pre-funded warrants (but not the warrants issued in the private placement or the shares of common stock underlying such warrants) are being offered and sold in the registered direct offering by Capstone pursuant to a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-225503), including a base prospectus, previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 18, 2018. The offering of the shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants and shares underlying the pre-funded warrants will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement that forms a part of the registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and an accompanying base prospectus relating to the registered direct offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website located at http://www.sec.gov.

The warrants described above were offered in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants have not been registered under the Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the warrants and shares of common stock underlying the warrants may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and such applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
