  1. Effect on Outstanding Equity Awards, Warrants, and Equity Plans

    Effect on Outstanding Equity Awards, Warrants, and Equity Plans If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders and our Board decides to implement the Reverse Stock Split, as of the Effective Time, based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio selected by the Board, proportionate adjustments will be made to all then-outstanding equity awards, Common Stock warrants (including the Warrants) and convertible debt (including the Notes) with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such award, warrant or convertible debt and the exercise or conversion price thereof. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, if approved by stockholders, will be proportionately adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split ratio selected by the Board, such that fewer shares will be subject to the Plan.
