Stockholder Rights Plan
 
On July 18, 2014, we adopted a stockholder rights plan. The stockholder rights plan is embodied in the Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement dated as of July 18, 2014 (the “Rights Agreement”), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”).
 
Accordingly, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Common Stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 28, 2014, for each share of Common Stock issued (including shares distributed from treasury) by the Company thereafter and prior to the Separation Time (as defined in the Rights Agreement), and for certain shares of Common Stock issued after the Separation Time. Following the Separation Time, each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), at a purchase price of $100.00 (the "Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement. Each one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock has substantially the same rights as one share of Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement, Rights become exercisable ten days after the public announcement that a “Person” has become an “Acquiring Person” (as each such term is defined in the Rights Agreement). Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised.
 
If a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, all holders of Rights, except the Acquiring Person, may purchase at the Right’s then-current exercise price, the Company’s common stock having a market value equal to twice the exercise price. Moreover, at any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person (unless such Person acquires 50 percent or more of the common stock of the Company then outstanding, as more fully described in the Rights Agreement), the Board of Directors may exchange all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Rights (other than rights owned by such Person, which would have become void) for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right, appropriately adjusted in order to protect the interests of holders of Rights.
 
The Rights Agreement was approved by our Board of Directors on July 18, 2014. The Rights will expire at the close of business on the ten year anniversary of the Date of Adoption, unless earlier exchanged or terminated by the Company.
