Although the Company obtained approval from the holders of the required number of shares to approve
the reincorporation, the holders of certain shares have asserted dissenters rights under
Washington law. If the reincorporation is effected, the Company may be required to pay these
dissenting shareholders the fair value of their shares. In light of this, the Board of Directors of
the Company has determined that, unless the assertion of dissenters rights is withdrawn, the
reincorporation should not be effected at this time.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
