Following the reverse stock split, the Company will not take any steps to qualify the Company's common stock for trading on any automated quotations system operated by a national securities association. In addition, the Company's common stock will cease to be traded on any automated quotation system, but may again be traded in the "Pink Sheets," however the Company does not intend to apply to have its common stock traded in the Pink Sheets.
