Although the Board of Directors has approved the Plan of Dissolution, the Company continues to seek and will consider any reasonable alternative strategic or financing proposals presented to the Company. The investment firm Merriman Curhan Ford remains engaged as the Company's financial advisor to assist in the evaluation of strategic options, including the possible sale of the Company or its AMPA/kainite receptor antagonist product candidates.
The Plan of Dissolution contemplates an orderly wind down of the Company's business and operations. If the Company's stockholders approve the Plan of Dissolution, the Company intends to file a certificate of dissolution, satisfy or resolve its remaining liabilities and obligations, including any contingent liabilities and costs associated with the liquidation and dissolution and make reasonable provisions for unknown or unresolved claims and liabilities, if any. Following stockholder approval of the Plan of Dissolution and the filing of the certificate of dissolution, the Company plans to delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market.
