Item 5.07
|
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
|
On August 7, 2019,
the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the holders of
a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote approved amendments to the Company’s
certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a 1-for-8,000 reverse stock
split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), followed immediately by a 8,000-for-1 forward
stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Forward Stock Split,” and together with the Reverse Stock Split,
the “Transaction”). The amendments were approved with (i) 14,256,235 shares of common stock voting in favor of
the Reverse Stock Split, 1,137,124 shares voting against the Reverse Stock Split and 846 shares abstaining, and (ii) 14,256,223
shares of common stock voting in favor of the Forward Stock Split, 1,137,137 shares voting against the Forward Stock Split and
846 shares abstaining.
Following the Special Meeting, the Company
filed certificates of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split,
followed immediately by the Forward Stock Split, both effective on August 7, 2019 at 5:01 and 5:02 p.m., respectively. As a result
of the Transaction, each stockholder owning fewer than 8,000 shares of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the
effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will receive $1.15 per share, without interest, in cash for each share of the Company’s
common stock held by such stockholder at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, and such stockholder will no longer be
a stockholder of the Company.
Stockholders who own 8,000 or more shares
of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split will not be entitled to
receive any cash for their fractional share interests resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, if any. The Forward Stock Split that
will immediately follow the Reverse Stock Split will reconvert whole shares and fractional share interests held by such stockholders
back into the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such stockholders immediately before the effective
time of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by such stockholders
will not change.
The foregoing description of the certificates
of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to
each such certificate of amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated
herein by reference.
The press release announcing the results
of the Special Meeting and the Company’s intent to voluntarily delist and deregister its common stock is filed as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
For a more detailed
discussion of the Transaction, please see the definitive proxy statement of the Company, filed June 25, 2019 with the Commission.
