In addition, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the Rescheduled Special Meeting remains unchanged and valid proxies submitted prior to the Special Meeting will continue to be valid for the Rescheduled Special Meeting, unless properly changed or revoked prior to votes being taken at the Rescheduled Special Meeting.
A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
