Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares held by the Company’s stockholders who do not vote in favor of the adoption of the Acquisition Agreement and properly exercise their conversion rights) was converted into the right to receive one share of Resolute common stock, and each outstanding warrant that was issued in the Company’s initial public offering was converted into either $0.55 cash or the right to receive one Resolute warrant, subject to proration and adjustment.
After September 25, 2009, the Company’s units, common stock and warrants will no longer trade on the NYSE Amex. The common stock and warrants of Resolute are expected to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “REN” and “REN WS,” respectively, on September 28, 2009, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
