 have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the Common Stock now authorized. The Common Stock will remain fully paid and non -assessable. The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd -lots” of less than 100shares of our Common Stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd -lotsare generally higher than the costs of transactions in “round -lots” of even multiples of 100shares. 13 After the Effective Time, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act.

These authorized but unissued shares could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that could
