PROPOSAL 3:APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK</div>

Description of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split

Our Board has approved, and is recommending that our stockholders approve, a proposed amendment to our certificate of incorporation, to effect a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock at a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of our Board (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The form of proposed amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split is attached asAppendix Ato this proxy statement. The text of the proposed amendment is subject to revision to include such changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and as our Board deems necessary or advisable to effect the proposed amendment of the certificate of incorporation. If a certificate of amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the certificate of amendment to the certificate of incorporation will effect the Reverse Stock Split by reducing the outstanding number of shares of the common stock by the ratio to be determined by the Board, but will not increase the par value of the common stock, and will not change the number of authorized shares of the common stock. If the Board does not implement an approved Reverse Stock Split prior to the one-year anniversary of this meeting, the Board will seek stockholder approval before implementing any Reverse Stock Split after that time.

By approving Proposal 3 and the Reverse Stock Split, stockholders will approve the amendment to our certificate of incorporation pursuant to which any whole number of outstanding shares, between and including ten and twenty-five, would be combined into one share of common stock and authorize our Board to file one certificate of amendment, as determined by our Board in the manner described herein. If approved, our Board may also elect not to effect any Reverse Stock Split and consequently not file any certificate of amendment to the certificate of incorporation.
