Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock We have authorized 5,000,000 shares, $ 0.001 par value, Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock”) of which 500,000 shares have been issued and redeemed, and therefore are not considered outstanding. In addition, 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Junior Preferred Stock”) with the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions specified in the Certificate of Designation of the Junior Preferred Stock filed with the Delaware Department of State on January 28, 2008. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by us that is convertible into Junior Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2021, there was no Junior Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. Common Stock On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the sale of our common stock to Reddington in two tranches. Pursuant to the SPA, our chief executive officer and three other stockholders (the “Principal Stockholders”) entered into Voting Agreements with Reddington (the “Voting Agreements”). The sale of the first tranche of 21,136,250 shares was consummated on October 12, 2021 (the “First Closing”). At the First Closing, the Principal Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreements with Reddington, covering an aggregate of 4,434,240 shares. As a result of these transactions, Reddington obtained ownership or voting power over a total of 25,570,490 shares, constituting 51.8% of the total outstanding shares, which excluded all treasury shares held or retired by us. Accordingly, Reddington became our majority stockholder. Pursuant to the SPA, we will proceed to effectuate a 1-for 50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”). Within two business days of the Reverse Split and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the SPA, Reddington will purchase an additional tranche of shares of our common stock such that after the issuance thereof Reddington shall own 90% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As of the closing of the second tranche purchase (the “Second Closing”), the Voting Agreements will terminate. As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Reverse Split was not yet effective.

The Rights will be distributed as a dividend. Initially, the Rights will attach to, and trade with, our common stock. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Rights Plan, the Rights will become exercisable if (among other things) a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock. Upon such an event, and payment of the purchase price, each Right (except those held by the acquiring person or group) will entitle the holder to acquire shares of our common stock (or the economic equivalent thereof) having a value equal to twice the purchase price. Our Board of Directors may redeem the Rights prior to the time they are triggered. In the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire us, the Rights Plan is intended to facilitate the full realization of our stockholder value and the fair and equal treatment of all of our stockholders. The Rights Plan does not prevent a takeover attempt. |
