Authorized Shares

If and when the board of directors elects to effect the Reverse Stock Split, we will also reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. The reduction in the number of authorized shares would be effected by the filing of the certificate of amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation, as discussed above. The table below shows the number to which authorized shares of common stock will be reduced resulting from the listed hypothetical reverse stock split ratios indicated below:

 

     Number of authorized shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split
(millions of shares)
     If the Authorized Share Increase is approved    If the Authorized Share Increase is not approved

1 for 2

   30,000      7,500

1 for 5

   12,000      3,000

1 for 10

   6,000    1,500

1 for 15

   4,000    1,000

1 for 20

   3,000       750

1 for 25

   2,400       600

1 for 30

   2,000       500

The actual number of authorized shares after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the reverse stock split ratio that is ultimately determined by the board of directors and whether the Authorized Share Increase is approved.

As a result of the reduction in authorized shares of common stock, the same proportion of authorized but unissued shares to shares authorized and issued (or reserved for issuance) would be maintained if the board of directors elects to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The table below shows the total number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock that is expected to result from the capital reduction resulting from the listed hypothetical reverse stock split ratios (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares), assuming approval of the Authorized Share Increase and conversion of the Interim Securities, and depending on the levels of participation in the Exchange Offers:

(1) The approximate number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split was calculated by subtracting the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus shares of common stock reserved for issuance (as described on page 20) from the number of authorized shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split (as described in the previous table).

The actual number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the reverse stock split ratio that is ultimately determined by the board of directors and whether the Authorized Share Increase is approved, and, because the ratios at which Public Preferred Depositary Shares and Trust Preferred Securities are exchanged for shares of common stock varies depending on the series of Public Preferred Depositary Shares or Trust Preferred Securities, the relative proportions of each series of Public Preferred Depositary Shares and Trust Preferred Securities that are tendered and accepted for exchange in connection with the Exchange Offers. If the Reverse Stock Split is abandoned by the board of directors, we will also abandon the reduction in the number of authorized shares.
