The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company's Board of Directors and by the Company's stockholders.

After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split of the Company's Common Stock, each twenty-five (25) Common Stock will be combined into one (1) Common Stock, such that the Company's 56,302,147 Common Stock outstanding will be reduced to approximately 2,252,086 Common Stock outstanding, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. The total number of authorized Common Stock will not be reduced and will remain at 350,000,000 shares following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split as any fractional stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole stock on a per stockholder basis.
The Reverse Stock Split is not expected to change any stockholder's proportional ownership interest, except for minimal effects that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. Registered stockholders holding shares in book-entry form need not take any action, and stockholders holding shares through a broker or nominee should contact their broker or nominee with any questions. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company's outstanding options, warrants and other equity-based awards, in accordance with their terms.
