Important Facts for Investor Verification

- Review the significant "against" votes for the CEO and non-executive director stock option grants, which may indicate shareholder sentiment regarding dilution or compensation levels.
- Confirm the details of the August 2012 capital raise (2.49M shares + warrants) referenced in the ratification vote.
- Check the definitive proxy statement filed on October 25, 2012, for detailed descriptions of the proposals and director biographies.
