Cautionary Note Regarding the Company’s Common Shares
The Company cautions that trading in its securities (including, without limitation, the Company’s common shares) during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of shares of the Company’s common shares will experience a complete or significant loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases. Based on the purchase price in the sale agreement, the common shares are significantly out of the money and would have no recovery. The Company’s common shares were previously delisted from trading on the Nasdaq.
