July&nbsp;9, 2014, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, implementing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company&#146;s common stock, pursuant to which each 10
shares of issued and outstanding common stock and equivalents converted into 1 share of common stock. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company will round fractions of shares up to the nearest whole share. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 1-for-10 reverse stock split became effective as of 5 p.m., eastern time, Wednesday, July&nbsp;9, 2014, and the trading of Company&#146;s
common stock on a post-reverse split basis on the NASDAQ Capital Market commenced on Thursday, July&nbsp;10, 2014 with a new CUSIP number of 55277R308. The common stock will continue to trade under the symbol &#147;MELA.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has approximately 5.2&nbsp;million post-split shares outstanding as a result of the reverse stock split. The number of authorized
shares of the Company&#146;s common stock was reduced to 50,000,000 shares as a result of the charter amendment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The number of shares of
the Company&#146;s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding was not affected by the reverse stock split. However, the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
will be adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split. All outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company&#146;s common stock will be adjusted proportionately and the maximum number of shares available for grant
under the Company&#146;s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan will be adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split. The maximum number of shares available for grant under the Company&#146;s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan will remain the same.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company expects to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement
for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market; however, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have that effect. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K current report and is incorporated herein by reference. </P>
