If required by applicable law, the Company will call a special meeting of the shareholders of Stamford to approve the steps necessary to accomplish the Reorganization. 4.

After giving effect to the cancellation of these shares, there are 27,526,658 shares issued and outstanding in the share capital of the Company.
