Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Implementation of these amendments is contingent upon obtaining shareholder approval. The Company expects to secure this approval via written consent from its two largest shareholders, who collectively hold a majority of outstanding common stock. The Company intends to file Schedule 14C information statements with the SEC, with the amendments becoming effective no sooner than 20 calendar days after mailing the definitive statement. This filing does not constitute a solicitation of proxy or consent.
Investor Verification Checklist
