Undesignated Preferred Stock

The ability of our board of
directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by our board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to change
control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company
