5: Other Information
On
November 19, 2002, our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each
outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2002 (the “Record Date”).
On November 2, 2012, at the direction of the Board of Directors, we amended and restated the Rights Agreement between us and our Rights
Agent. On November 14, 2017, at the direction of the Board, we again amended and restated the Rights Agreement between us and our then
current Rights Agent (as amended, the “Amended Agreement”). On November 9, 2022, at the direction of the Board, we extended
the Expiration Date of the Amended Agreement to February 14, 2023 and on February 9, 2023, at the direction of the Board, we extended
the Expiration Date of the Amended Agreement to May 15, 2023. On May 12, 2023, at the direction of the Board, we further amended the
Amended Agreement (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company
a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a Purchase Price of $4.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment. The description
and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement.
Initially,
the Rights attached to all Common Stock certificates representing shares outstanding at the Record Date. Effective May 12, 2023, the number of Rights associated with each outstanding
share of Common Stock (certificated or book entry) were adjusted such that each outstanding share of Common Stock has associated with
it one Right. No separate Rights Certificates will be distributed.
Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a Distribution Date
will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons
(an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Stock
Acquisition Date”), other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company or certain inadvertent actions by institutional
or certain other stockholders or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the Board of Directors shall determine) following the commencement
of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. Until the Distribution Date,
(i) the Rights will be evidenced by certificates and Book Entry Shares for the Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Certificates”)
and will be transferred with and only with such Common Stock Certificates, (ii) new Common Stock Certificates issued after the Record
Date will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any Common Stock
Certificates outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such Common
Stock Certificate. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company reserves the right to require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering
Event (as defined below) that, upon any exercise of Rights, a number of Rights be exercised so that only whole shares of Preferred Stock
will be issued.
The
Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on May 12, 2028, unless such
date is extended or the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by us as described below.
As
soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be sent to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date in accordance with the Rights Agreement and, thereafter, the separate Rights Certificates
alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only shares of Common Stock issued prior to
the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights.
In
the event that a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock which the
Board of Directors determines to be fair and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,
after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms (a “Qualified Offer”), each registered holder of a Right
will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other equity
securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following
the occurrence of the event set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights
Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. However, Rights are not exercisable following the
occurrence of the event set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by us as set forth below.
38
In
the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) we engage in a merger or other business combination transaction
in which we are not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or business combination with an entity which acquired the shares pursuant
to a Qualified Offer in which holders of our common stock receive the same consideration per share as in the Qualified Offer), (ii) we
engage in a merger or other business combination transaction in which we are the surviving corporation and our Common Stock is changed
or exchanged, or (iii) 50% or more of our assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, each registered holder of a Right
(except Rights which have previously been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common
stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The events set forth in this paragraph
and in the second preceding paragraph are referred to as the “Triggering Events”.
At
any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more
of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which
have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock, or one one-hundredth of a share of Preferred
Stock (or of a share of a class or series of our preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right (subject
to adjustment).
The
Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of Preferred Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights
subsequent to the reverse split of our outstanding shares of Common Stock effected in August 2016 are subject to adjustment from time
to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred
Stock, (ii) if holders of the Preferred Stock are granted certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Stock or convertible
securities at less than the current market price of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Stock
of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than
those referred to above).
No
fractional Units will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Stock
on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.
At
any time prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, we may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price
of $0.01 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors). Immediately upon
the action of the Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of
Rights will be to receive the $0.01 redemption price.
Until
a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of our Company, including, without limitation,
the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to us, stockholders
may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Common Stock (or
other consideration) of our Company or for common stock of the acquiring company or in the event of the redemption of the Rights as set
forth above.
Any
of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution
Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes which do not
adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights, or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no amendment may be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable.
A
copy of the Rights Agreement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on
Form 8-A, dated May 12, 2023. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company. This summary description
of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated
herein by reference.

Participating Preferred Stock to 4,000,000.
