The April Extension is the first of up to nine monthly extensions permitted under the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of Delaware following stockholder approval of the Extension at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders discussed in Items 5.03 and 5.07 of this report.
