"Although the Board of Directors has no present intention of issuing such additional shares for such purposes, the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock could enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or discourage an attempt by another person or entity to obtain control of the Company. Such additional shares could be issued by the Board of Directors in a public or private sale, merger or similar transaction, increasing the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock and thereby diluting the equity interest and voting power of a party attempting to obtain control of the Company. The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock has not, however, been proposed for an anti-takeover-related purpose and we have no knowledge of any current efforts to obtain control of the Company or to effect large accumulations of our common stock. This Proposal No. 3 is not part of any plan by the Company to adopt a series of amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws so as to render the takeover of the Company more difficult. Moreover, we are not submitting this Proposal No. 3 to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire a controlling interest or to seek representation on the Board of Directors."
