The Going Private Transaction, if completed, would result in the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock (other than the shares owned by LIMI) by LIMI. The closing of the proposed Going Private Transaction is subject to, among other things, (i) the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; (ii) regulatory approval; (iii) funding by LIMI; and (iv) the execution of certain definitive transaction documents.
