company, today announced that its Board of Directors declared a
dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of newly designated
Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for
each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock held of record
as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 6, 2023. The
shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be distributed to such
recipients at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 7, 2023. The
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will vote
together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock,
as a single class, exclusively with respect to a reverse stock
split, as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of
stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the reverse stock
split, and will not be entitled to vote on any other matter, except
to the extent required under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Subject to certain limitations, each outstanding share of
Series C Preferred Stock will have 1,000,000 votes per share

All shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are not present in
person or by proxy at the meeting of stockholders held to vote on
the reverse stock split as of immediately prior to the opening of
the polls at such meeting will automatically be redeemed by the
Company. Any outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock that
have not been so redeemed will be redeemed if such redemption is
ordered by the Company’s Board of Directors or automatically upon
the approval by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the
Company’s certificate of incorporation effecting the reverse stock
split at such meeting.
The Series C Preferred Stock will be uncertificated, and no
shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be transferable by any
holder thereof except in connection with a transfer by such holder
of any shares of the Company’s common stock held by such holder. In
that case, a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series C
Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of the Company’s
common stock to be transferred by such holder would be transferred
to the transferee of such shares of common stock.
Further details regarding the Series C Preferred Stock will be
contained in a report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with
