Additional Information
At a special
meeting of the Company’s shareholders held beginning at 10:00 a.m. on May 4,
2009, the shareholders adopted two amendments to the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation. The first amendment, which effected a 1-for-500 share
reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, was adopted by a vote of
4,062,458 shares in favor and 268,244 shares against, with 2,109 shares
abstaining. The second amendment, which effected a 500-for-1 share
forward stock split, was adopted by a vote of 4,065,744 shares in favor and
264,958 shares against, with 2,109 shares abstaining. An affirmative
vote of shareholders holding 3,828,074 shares, or a majority of the 7,656,147
shares outstanding, was required to adopt each amendment. The
Certificates of Amendment have been filed with the Delaware Secretary of
State. The first amendment was effective at 6:00 p.m. eastern
daylight time on May 15, 2009, and the second amendment was effective at 6:01
p.m. eastern daylight time on May 15, 2009. Shareholders who hold
fractional shares (that is, less than one share in any account) following the
effectiveness of the first amendment will receive $0.35 per pre-reverse split
share upon submission of the certificates representing those pre-split shares to
the Company through its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust
Company. It is estimated that 1,500 shareholders holding 170,000
pre-reverse split shares will be cashed out in this manner. The exact
