Limited Duration Stockholder Rights Agreement

In March 2020, the board of directors declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock, payable to holders of record as of April 10, 2020. The rights are designed to protect against unsolicited takeovers. The rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 10% or more of our outstanding common stock. Each right will entitle stockholders to purchase one one thousandth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $50. In addition, if a person or group acquires 10% of our outstanding common stock (unless such person or group acquires 50% or more), the board of directors may exchange one share of common stock for each outstanding right. Prior thereto, the rights are redeemable for $0.01 per right at the option of the board of directors. The rights are scheduled to expire in March 2021.
