For payment, this milestone was modified to require the Company to submit documentation to BARDA indicating that data covering the first 100 subjects enrolled in the phase III pivotal safety study have been submitted to and reviewed by a Data &amp;amp; Safety Monitoring Board (&amp;#8220;DSMB&amp;#8221;) and that such DSMB has recommended continuation of the safety study, as well as submission of the final pivotal rabbit efficacy study report to the FDA.  Previously, this milestone required the successful submission to the FDA of a complete application for TPOXX&amp;#174; regulatory approval.  During the third quarter of 2016, the Company met the modified milestone and received payment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of March 31, 2017, the Company has received &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$368.9 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; under the Base Contract related to the manufacture and physical delivery of courses of TPOXX&amp;#174;.

The &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$41 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; hold back payment would be triggered by FDA approval of TPOXX&amp;#174;, as long as the Company has cumulatively delivered &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; courses of TPOXX&amp;#174; to the Strategic Stockpile and the Company does not have a continuing product replacement obligation to BARDA.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;With regard to future product deliveries after March 31, 2017, the Company expects to deliver approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;467,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; courses of TPOXX&amp;#174; at no cost to BARDA in order to fulfill the delivery requirements of the BARDA Contract. Courses to be delivered are expected to be at a dosage of 600 mg administered twice per day (1,200 mg per day).  The &amp;#8220;no cost to BARDA&amp;#8221; courses are primarily attributable to a change in TPOXX&amp;#174; dosage (see paragraph below). Courses delivered to the Strategic Stockpile are subject to a product replacement obligation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Starting in 2015, product deliveries of TPOXX&amp;#174; have been at a provisional dosage of 600 mg administered twice per day (1,200 mg per day). This is a change from the provisional dosage that was in effect when product deliveries were made in 2013 and 2014 (600 mg per day). In 2013 and 2014, the provisional dosage of courses delivered to the Strategic Stockpile was 600 mg administered once a day. The change in the provisional dosage was based on FDA guidance received by the Company in 2014, subsequent to the delivery of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;1.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; courses of TPOXX&amp;#174;. Based on the current provisional dosage of 600 mg administered twice per day (1,200 mg per day), the Company expects to supplement previously delivered courses of TPOXX&amp;#174;, at no cost to BARDA, with additional dosages so that all of the courses previously delivered to BARDA will be at the current provisional dosage. The Company and BARDA agreed to an amendment (the &amp;#8220;BARDA Amendment&amp;#8221;) of the BARDA Contract to reflect the foregoing. In February 2016, the FDA confirmed (through dose concurrence) its earlier dosage guidance of 600 mg administered twice per day (1,200 mg per day).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company is incurring significant incremental costs with the production of additional dosage at no cost to BARDA.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In addition to the Base Contract, the BARDA Contract also separately contains &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$122.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of options that, if exercised by BARDA: would result in a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$50 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; payment to the Company in the event of FDA approval for extension to 84-month expiry for TPOXX&amp;#174; (from 38 month expiry as required in the Base Contract); would fund up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$58.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of development and supportive activities such as work on a smallpox prophylaxis indication for TPOXX&amp;#174;; and/or would fund &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$14.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of production-related activities related to warm-base manufacturing. In 2015, BARDA exercised two options related to extending the indication of the drug to the geriatric and pediatric populations.  The stated value of these exercises was minimal.  BARDA may not exercise additional options in the future. Options are exercisable by BARDA at its sole discretion.  BARDA has indicated that it will evaluate, after the FDA&amp;#8217;s review and evaluation of stability data, the Company's request that BARDA exercise the option for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$50 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; payment to the Company in the event of FDA approval of 84-month expiry for TPOXX&amp;#174;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The BARDA Contract expires in September 2020.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The BARDA Contract is a multiple deliverable arrangement comprising delivery of courses and covered research and development activities. The BARDA Contract provides certain product replacement rights with respect to delivered courses. For this reason, recognition of revenue that might otherwise occur upon delivery of courses is expected to be deferred until the Company&amp;#8217;s obligations related to potential replacement of delivered courses are satisfied. The Company assessed the selling price for each of the aforementioned deliverables - research and development activities and drug product. The selling price of certain reimbursed research and development services was determined by reference to existing and past research and development grants and contracts between the Company and various government agencies. The selling price of drug product was determined by reference to other Companies&amp;#8217; sales of drug products such as antiviral therapeutics, orphan drugs and drugs with potential life-saving impact similar to TPOXX&amp;#174;, including products delivered to the Strategic Stockpile.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company has recognized revenue for reimbursement of certain BARDA Contract research and development services. Cash inflows related to delivery of courses will continue to be recorded as deferred revenue. In addition, direct costs incurred by the Company to fulfill the delivery of courses including the supplementing of courses previously delivered under the BARDA Contract are being deferred and will be recognized as expenses over the same period that the related deferred revenue is recognized as revenue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of March&amp;#160;31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, deferred direct costs under the BARDA Contract of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$78.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$72.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, respectively, are included in deferred costs on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2017, the Company recorded &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$376.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of deferred revenue. Deferred revenue has been recorded for the delivery of courses of TPOXX&amp;#174; to the Strategic Stockpile and certain supportive services provided as part of the BARDA Contract. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, revenue from reimbursed research and development was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$4.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Research Agreements&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company obtains funding from the contracts and grants it obtains from various agencies of the U.S. Government to support its research and development activities. Currently, the Company has one contract with an expiration date of December 30, 2020 and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;one&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; grant with an expiration date of April 30, 2018, which in combination provide for potential future aggregate research and development funding for specific projects of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$17.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the contract was amended to increase its funding by approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$10.1 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which also extended the period of performance of this contract from June 30, 2020 to December 30, 2020. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The funded amount includes, among other things, options that may or may not be exercised at the U.S. Government&amp;#8217;s discretion. Moreover, the contract and grant contain customary terms and conditions including the U.S. Government&amp;#8217;s right to terminate or restructure a grant for convenience at any time.  As such, we may not utilize all available funds under the contract and/or grant.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</siga:ProcurementContractAndResearchAgreementsTextBlock>

On September 16, 2014, as a consequence of SIGA&amp;#8217;s chapter 11 filing, the legal proceedings with PharmAthene were stayed (see Note 1 to the financial statements), except that the parties agreed by stipulation approved by the Court on October 8, 2014 that the litigation could proceed.  On January 15, 2015, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered its Final Order and Judgment (the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Final Order and Judgment&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&amp;#8221;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;) awarding PharmAthene approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$195 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, including pre-judgment interest up to January 15, 2015 (the &amp;#8220;Outstanding Judgment&amp;#8221;). On December 23, 2015 the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Outstanding Judgment.  Pursuant to the Final Order and Judgment, SIGA also was liable to PharmAthene for &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$30,663.89&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; per day in post-judgment interest. On a series of dates up to and including a final payment on November 16, 2016, the Company paid PharmAthene an aggregate of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$217 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to fully satisfy the Outstanding Judgment, including post-judgment interest, in accordance with the bankruptcy plan of reorganization. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;From time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters.

Such &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$80 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; had been placed in an escrow account on September 30, 2016 (the &amp;#8220;Escrow Funding Date&amp;#8221;).  Prior to the Escrow Release Date (November 16, 2016), the Company did not have access to, or any ownership interest in, the escrow account.  Until the Escrow Release Date occurred, the Company did not have an obligation to make any payments under the Loan Agreement, no security was granted under the Loan Agreement and no affirmative or negative covenants or events of default were effective under the Loan Agreement.  Amounts were held in the escrow account until the satisfaction of certain conditions including the closing of the Rights Offering on November 16, 2016. As part of the satisfaction of the PharmAthene claim, funds were released from the escrow account (the date on which such transfer occurred, the &amp;#8220;Escrow Release Date&amp;#8221;). &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Loan Agreement provides for a first-priority senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$80,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (the &amp;#8220;Term Loan&amp;#8221;), of which (i) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$25,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;  was placed in a reserve account (the &amp;#8220;Reserve Account&amp;#8221;) only to be utilized to pay interest on the Term Loan as it becomes due; (ii) an additional &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; was also placed in the Reserve Account and up to the full amount of such &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; may be withdrawn after June 30, 2018 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, provided that any of such amount is required to fund any interest to the extent any interest in excess of the aforementioned &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$25,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; is due and owing and any of such &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; remains in the Reserve Account; and (iii) &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$50,000,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (net of fees and expenses then due and owing to the Lender) was  paid to PharmAthene as part of the final payment to satisfy the PharmAthene claim.

Furthermore, an additional &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; will become payable when principal of the Term Loan is repaid. As part of the Company's entry into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued the Warrant with a fair market value of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The fair value of the Warrant, as well as costs related to the Term Loan issuance, are recorded as deductions to the Term Loan balance on the Balance Sheet. These amounts are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related Term Loan. The $4 million that will be paid when principal is repaid is being accreted to the Term Loan balance each quarter on a per diem basis.  As of March 31, 2017, the Term Loan balance is &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$67.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DebtDisclosureTextBlock>

On September 2, 2016, the date of issuance of the current liability classified warrant, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair market value of the warrant. The Company compared the Monte Carlo simulation model calculation to a Black-Scholes model calculation.  These models generated substantially equal values. As such, the Company utilized a Black-Scholes model for March 31, 2017, consisting of the following variables: (i) the closing price of SIGA&amp;#8217;s common stock; (ii) the expected remaining life of the liability classified warrant; (iii) the expected volatility using a weighted-average of historical volatilities from a combination of SIGA and comparable companies; and (iv) the risk-free market rate. At March 31, 2017, the fair value of liability classified warrant is &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$7.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;At March 31, 2017, the fair value of the debt was&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$71.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;and the carrying value of the debt was&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$67.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the debt by applying a discount rate to future payments expected to be made as set forth in the Loan Agreement.&amp;#160; The fair value of the loan was measured using level 3 inputs.&amp;#160; The discount rate was determined using market participant assumptions.&amp;#160; This valuation required significant judgment.&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br

Any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in earnings or loss as long as the derivative contracts are classified as assets or liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classified the Warrant as a liability and reported the change in fair value in the statement of operations.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On September 2, 2016, the issuance date of the Warrant, the fair value of the liability classified Warrant was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$5.8 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

The Company compared the Monte Carlo simulation model calculation to a Black-Scholes model calculation.  These models generated substantially equal fair values for the Warrant.  As such, the Company utilized a Black-Scholes model for March 31, 2017 to determine the fair value of the Warrant.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of the Warrant was&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$7.4 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

The Rights Offering was made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &amp;#8220;SEC&amp;#8221;) and declared effective by the SEC on October 21, 2016. As part of the Rights Offering, each stockholder of the Company received subscription right for each share of common stock owned as of the record date of October 12, 2016.  Each subscription right entitled its holder to invest &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$0.65&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; towards the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock at a subscription price equal to the lower of&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.50&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;85%&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the volume weighted average price of Company shares during market hours on the expiration date of the Rights Offering.  The Rights Offering expired at 5:00 pm, New York City time, on November 8, 2016.  Through basic subscriptions and oversubscriptions, the Rights Offering was fully subscribed. The subscription price was set at &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.50&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  The Company used the net proceeds of the Rights Offering, together with&amp;#160;proceeds from the Loan Agreement and cash on hand,&amp;#160;to fully satisfy PharmAthene's claim under the plan of reorganization.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Rights Offering - Backstop Agreement&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On October 13, 2016, in connection with the Rights Offering as discussed above, the Company entered into an investment agreement or &amp;#8220;backstop agreement&amp;#8221;, with an affiliate of MacAndrews &amp;amp; Forbes Incorporated ("M&amp;amp;F"), and certain other backstop parties (the &amp;#8220;Backstop Parties&amp;#8221;).  Under the terms of the backstop agreement, the Backstop Parties agreed to purchase, pursuant to a separate private placement, a number of shares of common stock equal to the numbers of shares that not subscribed for in the Rights Offering.  The backstop agreement provided that the subscription price for the Backstop Parties would be equal to the subscription price applicable to all shareholders under the Rights Offering.   Because the Rights Offering was fully subscribed, the Backstop Parties were not required to draw on such commitment.  The Company issued &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;708,530&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; shares to Backstop Parties in payment of the five percent backstop fee &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;($1,764,240)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; payable to the Backstop Parties in connection with the backstop agreement.  When shares were issued to the Backstop Parties in payment of the backstop fee, the stock price of SIGA common stock was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$2.49&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; per share (the closing price of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock on November 16, 2016). The fair value of the shares issued in satisfaction of the backstop fee was expensed to the income statement in 2016.  There are no remaining payment obligations to the Backstop Parties under the Backstop Agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:FinancialInstrumentsDisclosureTextBlock>

A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including company's performance, the market environment in which the company operates, the utilization of past tax credits, length of carryback and carryforward periods, existing contracts, and unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels in the future years. Based on the available evidence, the Company continues to conclude that its deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;During the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three months ended March 31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the Company recorded an income tax provision of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$115,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on a pre-tax loss of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$8.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit&amp;#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. The revised guidance will be applied prospectively, and is effective for calendar year-end in 2020.  Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  The Company believes adoption of ASU 2017-04 will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB&amp;#8217;s Emerging Issues Task Force. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions.  The standard&amp;#160;is effective for financial statements issued&amp;#160;for fiscal years beginning&amp;#160;after&amp;#160;December&amp;#160;15,&amp;#160;2017,&amp;#160;and&amp;#160;interim periods within those fiscal years.&amp;#160;Early&amp;#160;adoption is permitted.&amp;#160;The guidance requires application using&amp;#160;a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-18 will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August&amp;#160;26,&amp;#160;2016,&amp;#160;the FASB&amp;#160;issued&amp;#160;ASU 2016&amp;#173;-15,&amp;#160;Statement of Cash&amp;#160;Flows&amp;#160;(Topic 230),&amp;#160;a&amp;#160;consensus of the FASB&amp;#8217;s Emerging&amp;#160;Issues Task Force.&amp;#160;The new guidance is intended&amp;#160;to&amp;#160;reduce diversity&amp;#160;in practice in how certain transactions are classified&amp;#160;in the statement&amp;#160;of cash&amp;#160;flows.&amp;#160;The standard&amp;#160;is effective for financial statements issued&amp;#160;for fiscal years beginning&amp;#160;after&amp;#160;December&amp;#160;15,&amp;#160;2017,&amp;#160;and&amp;#160;interim periods within those fiscal years.&amp;#160;Early&amp;#160;adoption is permitted,&amp;#160;provided&amp;#160;that&amp;#160;all of the amendments are adopted&amp;#160;in the same period.&amp;#160;The guidance requires application using&amp;#160;a retrospective transition method.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In March 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for stock-based compensation, ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments impact several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  The Company adopted the amendments in first quarter of 2017.   Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-09, tax attributes related to stock option windfall deductions were not recorded until they resulted in a reduction of cash tax payable. As of December 31, 2016, the excluded windfall deductions for federal and state purposes were &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$1.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company recognized the excluded windfall deductions as a deferred tax asset with a corresponding offset to valuation allowance. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In regards to the forfeiture policy election, we will continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases, which relates to the accounting of leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;ASU&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"&gt;&amp;#8221;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;) No. 2014-15, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  This ASU requires management to assess whether there is substantial doubt about the entity&amp;#8217;s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact.  Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt.  This ASU states that, when making this assessment, management should consider relevant conditions or events that are known or reasonably knowable on the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-15 and for adoption impact see Note 1 to the financial statements under &amp;#8220;liquidity&amp;#8221;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted for the first interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the variable consideration related to milestones and other payments received as well as the impact of the potential replacement obligation for courses already delivered to BARDA. The Company will continue to assess the impact of ASU 2014-09.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsAndChangesInAccountingPrinciplesTextBlock>

Under the Plan, the Company fully paid all of its claims. The Company did not apply the provision of fresh start accounting as ownership of existing shares of the Company's common stock remained unaltered by the Plan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Prior to the effective date of the Plan (April 12, 2016), the Company was operating its business as a &amp;#8220;debtor-in-possession&amp;#8221;.  The Company had filed on September 16, 2014 a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the &amp;#8220;Bankruptcy Code&amp;#8221;) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the &amp;#8220;Bankruptcy Court&amp;#8221;) chapter 11 Case Number 14-12623 (SHL).  The chapter 11 case preserved the Company's ability to satisfy its commitments under the BARDA Contract (as defined in Note 3 to the financial statements) and preserved its operations, which likely would have been jeopardized by the enforcement of a judgment stemming from the Company's litigation with PharmAthene, Inc. (&amp;#8220;PharmAthene&amp;#8221;) (see&amp;#160;&amp;#8220;PharmAthene Litigation&amp;#8221; below). While operating as a debtor-in-possession under chapter 11, the Company pursued an appeal of the Delaware Court of Chancery Final Order and Judgment, without having to post a bond.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;PharmAthene Litigation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 16, 2016, the Company satisfied the Outstanding Judgment (defined in Note 14 to the financial statements) owed to PharmAthene in connection with the Company's litigation with PharmAthene.  In total, PharmAthene was paid &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$217 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in connection with the Outstanding Judgment. See Note 14 to the financial statements for details related to the litigation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Liquidity&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt;The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is not entitled to receive any additional procurement-related payments under the current BARDA Contract (Note 3) until U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of TPOXX&amp;#174; has been achieved and until a cumulative &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt;2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt; courses of TPOXX&amp;#174; have been delivered to the Strategic Stockpile.  Upon meeting these requirements, the Company is entitled to a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt;$41 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt; hold back payment under the BARDA Contract. Based on a targeted New Drug Application ("NDA") filing for TPOXX&amp;#174; by the end of 2017, it is currently anticipated that the Company will be eligible to receive the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt;$41 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt; hold back payment in the second half of 2018.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt;In the event that the Company does not receive a substantial portion of the hold back payment by the third quarter of 2018, then, based on currently forecasted operating costs, the Company will require additional sources of funding to continue operations and prevent an event of default under the Term Loan (Note 7). In this case, the Company would seek to increase cash liquidity by: raising proceeds through a financing, a new contract for TPOXX&amp;#174; or any other product, a sale of assets, or the modification of the existing BARDA Contract; significantly reducing its operating expenses; or modifying the terms of the Loan Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company will cumulatively deliver &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt;2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#222222;"&gt; courses of TPOXX&amp;#174; to the Strategic Stockpile, or that TPOXX&amp;#174; will receive FDA approval on a timely basis, if at all. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to increase cash liquidity, if needed, through a financing, a new contract for TPOXX&amp;#174; or &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;any other product, a sale of assets, the modification of the existing BARDA Contract, or a significant reduction of its operating expenses or operations, or that the lenders would agree to modify the Term Loan Agreement, if needed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:OrganizationConsolidationAndPresentationOfFinancialStatementsDisclosureTextBlock>

Under the terms of the Backstop Agreement, the Backstop Parties agreed to purchase, pursuant to a separate private placement, a number of shares of common stock equal to the numbers of shares that would have not been subscribed for in the Rights Offering.  The Backstop Agreement provided that the subscription price for the Backstop Parties would be equal to the subscription price applicable to all shareholders under the Rights Offering.   Because the Rights Offering was fully subscribed, the Backstop Parties were not required to draw on such commitment.  When shares were issued to the Backstop Parties in payment of the backstop fee, the stock price of SIGA common stock was &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$2.49&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; per share (the closing price of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock on November 16, 2016). The fair value of the shares issued in satisfaction of the backstop fee was expensed to the income statement in 2016.  There are no remaining payment obligations to the Backstop Parties under the Backstop Agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In October 2012, the Company funded a letter of credit and deposit to take advantage of a lease for office space secured by an affiliate of M&amp;amp;F from a third party landlord on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to such letter of credit, in January 2013 the Company entered into a sublease in which the Company will pay all costs associated with the lease, including rent. All payments made by the Company pursuant to the sublease will either be directly or indirectly made to the third-party landlord and not retained by M&amp;amp;F or any affiliate. The sublease allows for a free rent period of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;five&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; months beginning April 1, 2013; subsequent to the free rent period, monthly rent payments are &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$60,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the first &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;five&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; years and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$63,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for the next &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;two&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; years.
