The Company does not plan to immediately move forward with the filing of the Amendment and has no current plans to affect a Reverse Stock Split. When the Company moves forward with the filing of the Amendment and if it moves forward with a Reverse Stock Split, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to announce such actions.
