2. Stockholders’ Investment

Capital Stock

We have 27.5 million authorized shares of common stock with $0.001 per share par value and 5.0 million authorized shares of preferred stock. The holders of the common stock may cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
