As of August 31, 2009, the Company had cash, net of liabilities and obligations, of approximately $4.4 million. After projected operating and shut down costs, the Company projects that there will be between $0.028 and $0.045 per share available for distribution to holders of the approximately 66 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Included in the cash balance as of August 31, 2009 were the proceeds from the Company's sale of the SSAO assets. As of that same date, the Company had written down the value of the Riquent program and related assets to zero and expects that the Riquent patents will lapse as a result of the Company's decision to cease all ongoing patent maintenance activities and related expenditures. As a result of these actions, the Company has no ongoing research programs.
While the Company is seeking stockholder approval for the dissolution, the Company expects that it will maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. However, if the dissolution is not completed by November 6, 2009, the Company expects that NASDAQ will take action at that time to commence proceedings to delist the Company's common stock.
Complete details regarding the dissolution proposal to be considered at the special meeting can be found in the Company's proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on October 1, 2009. A copy of the proxy statement is available on the Company's website at www.ljpc.com and was mailed to record holders on October 7, 2009. Stockholders are urged to return proxies and vote on the dissolution proposal before the date of the special meeting; voting early may save the Company additional proxy solicitation costs.
