Additional information on the treatment of fractional shares and other effects of the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2016.
Shareholders with certificated shares will soon receive a transmittal letter from the Company’s transfer agent which will contain instructions on how to surrender certificates representing pre-split common shares.
