Although the Company obtained approval from the holders of the required number of shares to approve the reincorporation, the holders of certain shares have asserted dissenter’s rights under Washington law. If the reincorporation is effected, the Company may be required to pay these dissenting shareholders the fair value of their shares. In light of this, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that, unless the assertion of dissenter’s rights is withdrawn, the reincorporation should not be effected at this time.
