The authorized capital of the Company consists, immediately prior to the Closing, of:

 

45,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), 19,000,000 shares of which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.

Except for (A) the conversion privileges of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and of the Shares to be issued under this Agreement), (B) certain rights of first refusal of existing holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and certain preemptive rights of existing holders of the Common Stock of the Company, and (C) warrants issued or issuable to certain placement agents of the Company as described in the Memorandum, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights) or agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from the Company any shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. The Company has no obligation (contingent or otherwise) to purchase or redeem any of its capital stock.

 

3.Subsidiaries
