As of the Effective Date, and in accordance with the Plan, all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (including shares of common stock issuable under equity awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans) and warrants exercisable for shares of common stock of the Company have been canceled and discharged and holders of such equity interests will not receive or retain any property on account thereof.
