It involves an assignment that transfers the company's assets to a third-party assignee for liquidation, with any remaining proceeds to be distributed to creditors first and then, if available, to stockholders. The meeting will also seek approval for the adjournment if necessary to continue soliciting votes for the liquidation proposal. Only stockholders of record as of December 11, 2024, are eligible to vote. The document discusses the voting process, quorum requirements, and potential risks involved in the dissolution, such as uncertainty in distribution amounts and timing for stockholders.
