As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the Closing Date of the Merger. Except as described in this Current Report, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of our Board and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of control of the Company.
