In the Conversion Offer, holders of Convertible Notes may surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at a conversion rate of 238.2119 shares of Post-Reverse Split Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $4.20 per share of Post-Reverse Split Common Stock, plus cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

Noteholders are required to deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments in order to participate in the Conversion Offer, and noteholders may not deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments unless they surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion in the Conversion Offer.
