"In order to deregister its shares of common stock, the Company must reduce its number of stockholders of record to below 300. To accomplish this, the Board is proposing to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split, in which holders of less than 100 shares of the Company's common stock would be cashed out at a price of $30.00 per pre-split share in lieu of fractional shares. Such price represents a premium above the common stock's closing price on September 10, 2019."

Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the stock splits for their customers holding the Company's common stock in "street name." However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the transaction and making payments for fractional shares.
