Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Annual Meeting: Scheduled for December 18, 2019, at The Garden City Hotel in Garden City, NY.

- Stock Plan Approval: Seeking approval for the 2019 Stock Plan to issue up to 10,000,000 shares for employee compensation.
- Reverse Stock Split Authorization: Seeking shareholder approval to authorize the Board to effect a reverse stock split (ratio not greater than 1-for-75) to maintain NYSE American listing standards and avoid "Penny Stock" classification.
- Authorized Shares Increase: Seeking approval to increase authorized common stock by 400,000,000 shares.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management highlighted the risk of delisting from the NYSE American if the stock price falls below $0.20 on a 30-day average or trades at or below $0.06. The proposed reverse stock split is intended to ensure the share price remains above thresholds required by institutional investors (targeting above $1.00) and to avoid regulatory restrictions associated with penny stocks. The Board retains discretion to abandon the reverse split if market conditions improve.
