PROPOSAL 1
APPROVE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK
At the Special Meeting, we will ask our stockholders to approve a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Amendment” or the “Share Increase”). On or about April 14, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our Capital Stock from 210,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock to 510,000,000 shares comprised of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. On April 30, 2021, there were approximately 157,305,911 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, and approximately no shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance and no shares of our Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. Accordingly, approximately only 42,694,089 shares of the total number of common stock currently authorized remain available for issuance or may be reserved for issuance prior to any amendment to increase the authorized shares of capital stock.
Form of the Amendment
The proposed amendment (the “Amendment”) would amend and restate Article Four of our Articles of Incorporation to read in its entirety as follows:
