 is sought could also be used by management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Board could strategically sell shares of Common Stock to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor the current Board. Although the amendment to the charter has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at the Company), approval of the proposal could facilitate future efforts by management to deter or prevent changes in control of the Company, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and the amendment is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device or to secure management’s positions within the Company.

Required Vote and Recommendation

Approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Neither Delaware law, nor the charter or bylaws, provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with the proposal. Accordingly, stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.
