Upon the merger of PLLL Acquisition Co. with and into the Issuer on November 25, 2009 (the Merger), the 36,390,826 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer previously acquired by PLLL Acquisition Co. pursuant to a cash tender offer for a purchase price of $3.15 per share were cancelled, and all of the shares of capital stock of PLLL Acquisition Co. were converted into shares of common stock of the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, as a result of which PLLL Holdings acquired 100 shares of Common Stock, which represents 100.0% of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock.
