The Preferred Shares will carry a $2.45 million liquidation preference, subject to adjustments, be convertible into common stock at $1.00 per share and bear a 10% annual dividend payable in kind at the option of the Company.

Additionally, the Company has reduced the SDA plant holding costs from approximately $30,000 per month to less than $5,000 per month.
