Use of Proceeds
|
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders will receive all proceeds from the sales of these shares, and they will pay any and all expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting or tax services (or any other expenses incurred by them in disposing of their shares). In the event the selling stockholders exercise their awards with cash, we will receive cash proceeds from such exercise. The amount of such proceeds will be dependent on a number of factors which we cannot calculate at this time including the exercise price of the awards. All proceeds received from the exercise of
awards, if any, will be used for working capital.
|
Risk Factors
|
Before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock, you should read carefully the risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus, and the risks described in our periodic reports incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
