In connection with the reverse stock split, every 80 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be automatically reclassified and combined into 1 share of common stock.
No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, the Company will issue to holders of record who are entitled to a fraction of a share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a fraction of a share of common stock as is necessary to round up to the nearest whole share.

In connection with the authorized share reduction, the number of authorized shares of common stock will be reduced from 4,000,000,000 to 50,000,000, and the total number of authorized shares of capital stock will be correspondingly reduced from 4,070,000,000 to 120,000,000.
Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the conversion rates of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and prefunded warrants and the exercise prices thereof, and the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans (and the applicable exercise prices thereof), will each be proportionately adjusted pursuant to their respective terms and as determined by the Board to reflect the 1-for-80 reverse stock split ratio. In addition, the number of shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans will be proportionately reduced.
The reverse stock split has no effect on the par value of the Company’s common stock. Immediately after the reverse stock split, each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes that will result from the treatment of fractional shares.
Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
