The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the company’s common stock from approximately 115,550,244 shares to approximately 7,703,350 shares, but will not change the authorized number of shares of common stock, which will remain at 750,000,000 shares.

In connection with the reverse stock split, the company’s CUSIP number will change to 630104305 as of December 15, 2022 at 5 p.m. ET.
The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead be entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional share from the company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. Holders of the company’s common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from the company’s transfer agent regarding their common stock ownership post-reverse stock split.
In addition, pursuant to their terms, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and number of shares issuable under all of the company’s outstanding equity awards, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the company’s equity incentive plans will be reduced proportionately.
