Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On September 14, 2016, TerraVia Holdings, Inc. (the
Company) entered into a note exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with a holder (the Holder) of the Companys 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the Notes) pursuant to
which such Holder agreed to exchange (the Exchange) up to $4.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Notes with the Company for shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock).
The maximum aggregate principal of Notes that may be surrendered under the Exchange Agreement is $4.0 million. The Exchange will occur over a period
of up to 68 trading days beginning on September 15, 2016 (the Exchange Period). The principal amount of Notes and Common Stock to be exchanged will be determined on each trading day during the Exchange Period based on the
volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock (the VWAP) on such trading day, and will be zero on any trading day if the VWAP on that day is below an agreed upon floor price. On each such trading day, the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Stock) will be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $686.00 per $1,000 of the principal amount of Notes for such trading
day, divided by the VWAP on such trading day. The maximum amount of Exchange Stock is approximately 1.57 million shares.
The issuance of the
Exchange Stock represents the satisfaction of the Companys obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the principal amount of the Notes surrendered pursuant to the indenture relating to the Notes, the satisfaction of the
Companys obligation to deliver the Early Conversion Payment (as defined in the indenture relating to the Notes) upon conversion of the principal amount of the Notes surrendered and inducement to the Holder to exchange the principal amount of
the Notes surrendered in the Exchange plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes surrendered.
The settlement of the
Exchange is expected to occur on a rolling basis based on eight successive Tranche Periods during the Exchange Period. The first period will consist of three consecutive trading days beginning on September 15, 2016, the next six
periods will consist of ten consecutive trading days and the final period will consist of five consecutive trading days. On the second scheduled trading day following the last trading day of each Tranche Period, the Holder is expected to
surrender the aggregate principal amount of the Notes deliverable for each of the trading days within such Tranche Period, and the Company is expected to issue the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of such Notes, in each case subject to
customary closing conditions. Upon the surrender of Notes to the Company, such Notes will be cancelled. The last settlement date is expected to occur on December 23, 2016.
The issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
