Therefore, approval of the Charter Amendment and any subsequent issuance of additional shares of common stock would not affect a current stockholder&#8217;s rights as a stockholder, except for any dilutive effects incidental to increasing the number of our outstanding shares of common stock to earnings per share, book value per share, and the voting power of current holders of common stock. The Charter Amendment would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders unless additional shares are issued. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:33.75pt;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:33.75pt;margin:0pt;">As is true for shares previous authorized but unissued, the future issuance of common stock authorized by the Charter Amendment may, among other things, decrease existing stockholders&#8217; percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the book value per share held by existing stockholders and have a negative effect on the market price of the common stock. Further, the additional shares of common stock authorized by the approval of this proposal could be issued by the Board without further vote of our stockholders except as may be required in particular cases by applicable law, regulatory agencies or the Nasdaq Global Market (&#8220;<b style="font-weight:bold;">Nasdaq</b>&#8221;) rules.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:33.75pt;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with the Authorized Shares Increase </b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:33.75pt;margin:0pt;">The Board does not intend to issue any shares of common stock except for purposes and on terms that the Board believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. However, depending on the purpose and terms of issuance at the time, if we issue additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock in the future, it will dilute the voting rights of existing stockholders and could also dilute earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders. The proposed Authorized Shares Increase could also, under certain circumstances, make more difficult or discourage attempts to obtain control of the Company, thereby having an anti-takeover effect. While this is not the purpose or intent of the Board&#8217;s support of this proposal, we might be able to use the additional shares to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in our control or our management. For example, we could issue additional shares without further stockholder approval so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control without our agreement. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Authorized Shares Increase therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. Although the Authorized Shares Increase has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt, stockholders should be aware that the Authorized Shares Increase could facilitate future attempts by us to oppose changes in our control and perpetuate our management, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices. We cannot provide assurances that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value, or that they will not adversely affect our business or the trading price of the common stock. </p></div><div style="clear:both;display:table;margin-bottom:30pt;min-height:36pt;width:100%;"><div style="display:table-cell;vertical-align:bottom;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">9</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:11.76%;margin-right:11.76%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:76.47%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:11.76%;padding-right:11.76%;position:relative;"><div style="margin-top:30pt;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon </b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:33.75pt;margin:0pt;">Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this Proposal except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our common stock. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Reservation of Right to Delay the Filing of the Charter Amendment, or Abandon the Authorized Shares Increase </b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:33.75pt;margin:0pt;">We reserve the right to delay the filing of the Charter Amendment or abandon the Authorized Shares Increase at any time, even if the Charter Amendment has been approved by stockholders at the Special Meeting.
