As a result of the reverse split, each fifteen (15) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock will instead receive cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing price per share of the Common Stock as quoted on Nasdaq on the Effective Date (as adjusted to give effect to the reverse split).

The reverse split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), or change the par values of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The reverse split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of Common Stock (except to the extent that the reverse split would result in some of the stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares). All outstanding restricted stock units, stock options and warrants entitling their holders to receive or purchase, as applicable, shares of Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the reverse split, in accordance with the terms of each such security. In addition, the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, will also be appropriately adjusted.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the reverse split, as of immediately following the effectiveness of the reverse split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be adjusted from 150,829,507 shares to approximately 10,055,300 shares.
