Other Events
On January 4, 2013, the Depository Trust Company (DTC) informed our counsel that DTC has determined to lift the deposit transaction restriction (DTC Chill) imposed on our common stock and will resume accepting deposits of our common stock for depository and book-entry transfer services.
The removal of the DTC Chill eliminates the following risk factor which was disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K:
A DTC "CHILL" ON ELECTRONIC CLEARING OF TRADES IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY AFFECT THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR STOCK AND OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL.
In September 2011, The Depositary Trust Company (DTC) placed a "chill" on the electronic clearing of trades in our shares which has led to some brokerage firms to be unwilling to accept certificates and/or electronic deposits of our stock and also some will not accept trades in our shares altogether. We have sought advice from third parties on removal of the DTC chill and have initiated dialogue with the DTC in order to seek resolution, but can make no assurances when and/or if the "chill" we be lifted.
The DTC chill affects the liquidity of our shares which may make it difficult to purchase or sell shares in the open market. It may also have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital since investors may be unable to resell shares into the market. Our inability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all, could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operations.
