3. Share Authorization Proposal (without Affecting Current Total Shares Outstanding)
Stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s charter to increase the number of authorized shares as follows:
- the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by 38,000,000 from 129,245,313 shares to 167,245,313 shares, and
- the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock by 2,900,000 shares from 10,000,000 shares to 12,900,000 shares, so that the total number of authorized shares of Company’s Common Stock and the Preferred Stock, will be increased from 139,245,313 shares to 180,145,313 shares.
