Item 7.01 Regulation
FD Disclosure.
At the 2017 Annual Meeting held on July
14, 2017, the Registrant discussed Proposal 4 which was approved as disclosed in Item 5.07 above. During that discussion, the Registrant
stated that it had “no plan to execute the reverse stock split right now” and that it was evaluating different factors
before deciding whether or how to proceed with the reverse stock split.
The Registrant has discretion to implement
the reverse stock split at any time before June 30, 2018 and will consider a number of factors, including existing and expected
marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, the listing requirements for the applicable stock
exchange, the recommendations and requirements of any investment bankers involved in any potential listing on a national exchange
and the likely effect on the market price of the common stock. A discussion of the criteria to be used in the Registrant’s
decision to implement the reverse stock split is more fully described in the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Registrant
with the Commission on May 26, 2017.
The above disclosures pursuant to this
Item 7.01 may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions
as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed
in these forward-looking statements.
The information set forth under Item 7.01
of this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed”
for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject
to the liabilities of such section. The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference
into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference
language in any such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. This Current Report will not
be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report that is required to be disclosed solely
by Regulation FD.
