The Certificate of Designation created the Series C Preferred Stock out of the authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company, fixed the initial number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock at 788, established the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock and provides for certain other rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock.

1.The Company’s shareholders approved, for purposes of Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), the potential issuance of greater than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (or, if created, Non-Voting Common Stock) upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock by the following vote:

Votes ForVotes AgainstAbstentionsBroker Non-Votes
23,442,1361,072,8361,700—*
*Since none of the proposals at the Special Meeting were routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes were not considered as represented at the Special Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and accordingly were not counted in the vote for this proposal.

2.The proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies to approve Proposal 1 or in the absence of a quorum, was not voted upon at the Special Meeting because sufficient votes were received to approve Proposal 1.
