Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 20 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. If as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder of record would otherwise hold a fractional share, the stockholder will receive one whole share in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share. The reverse stock split will not change the par value of the common stock or modify the rights or preferences of the common stock. The Company anticipates that the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding from 12,352,664 shares to approximately 617,833 shares. All outstanding securities entitling their holders to purchase shares of common stock or acquire shares of common stock of the Company, including stock options and warrants, will be adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split, as required by the terms of those securities.

The Company’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC will continue to maintain the book-entry records for the Company’s common stock. Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to such broker’s particular processes and procedures; if you hold your shares with such a broker, bank trust or other nominee and if you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.
