Item 4.
TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION.

This Amendment No. 4 supplements Items 1 and 4 of the Schedule TO as set forth below.
 
New “Revised Exercise Price”

Pursuant to the Offer to Amend and Exercise, the Original Warrants were to be amended to: (i) shorten the exercise period to the Expiration Date and (ii) reduce the exercise price to $0.15 (the “Revised Exercise Price”). The Company has decided to change the Revised Exercise Price from $0.15 to $0.10. Throughout the Schedule TO, the Offer to Amend and Exercise and the other Offering Materials and Acceptance and Exercise Documents, all references to the Revised Exercise Price are hereby amended to update the Revised Exercise Price to $0.10.

Extension of the Offer to Amend and Exercise

The Company has extended the Offer to Amend and Exercise by thirty days. The Offer to Amend and Exercise, which was previously scheduled to expire March 20, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, will now remain open until April 20, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, unless further extended. Throughout the Schedule TO, the Offer to Amend and Exercise and the other Offering Materials and Acceptance and Exercise Documents, all references to the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise are hereby amended to extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 20, 2020. If the Merger is set to close prior to April 20, 2020, we plan to amend


the Offer to Amend and Exercise to have the Offer expire on such earlier date, and will provide at least 5 business days notice prior to amending the Expiration Date in that instance.
