#### Proposal1

### TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF OUR CHARTER TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

### Overview
At the Special Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split is a consolidation of the Common Stock by a ratio of 1:25.

If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders, then the Company expects to promptly effect the Reverse Stock Split with a ratio of 1:25. Our Board believes that a Reverse Stock Split with a ratio of 1:25 is designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for the Company and its stockholders. In determining the 1:25 ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, our Board considered, among other things, factors such as:

•

the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;

•

the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our Common Stock;

•

our ability to have our Common Stock remain listed on Nasdaq, including the maintenance of the required number of shares of Common Stock registered with Nasdaq;

•

the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on our ability to raise additional financing;

•

The expected amount of the downward pressure on the bid price of the Common Stock caused by redemptions of Preferred Stock (as described in greater detail in the section titled “The Company’s Nasdaq Listing Deficiencies” above); and

•

prevailing general market and economic conditions.

If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders, we will issue a press release announcing the Effective Date (as defined below) of the Reverse Stock Split and will file Articles of Amendment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “

#### Proposed Amendment
”), to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the effective time stated in the Articles of Amendment (the “

#### Effective Date
”), after the
