As a consequence of the Reclassification the Company has fewer than 1,200 shareholders of record and intends to terminate the registration of its Common Stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and become a non-reporting company. If that occurs, the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and it will no longer be subject to the SEC’s proxy rules.
