If the Reverse Stock Split proposal is approved by our stockholders, our Board will have the discretion to implement the Reverse Stock Split or to not effect the Reverse Stock Split at all.

If our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split proposal at the Annual Meeting, the Reverse Stock Split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that the Reverse Stock Split is in our best interests and those of our stockholders at that time. No further action on the part of the stockholders will be required to either effect or abandon the Reverse Stock Split. If our Board does not implement the Reverse Stock Split prior to our next Annual General Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the Reverse Stock Split will terminate and the Reverse Stock Split will be abandoned.

If the Board of Directors determines to implement a reverse stock split, we intend to issue a press release announcing the terms and effective date of the reverse stock split before we file the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with a reverse stock split. To avoid the existence of fractional shares of the common stock, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issued as a result of the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

If our Board of Directors determines that effecting a reverse stock split is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, the reverse stock split will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The form of the proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split will be in substantially the form as attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex B. The Certificate of Amendment filed thereby will set forth the number of shares to be combined into one share of our Common Stock within the limits set forth in this proposal, but will not have any effect on the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock currently authorized, the ability of our Board to designate preferred stock, the par value of our common or preferred stock, or any series of preferred stock previously authorized (except to the extent such reverse stock split adjusts the conversion ratio of such previously designated preferred stock).
