Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 21, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board of Directors”)
of Greenland Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share
of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Shares”). The dividend is payable on August 7, 2026
to stockholders of record as of the close of business on that date (the “Record Date”). Each Right, once exercisable, entitles
the registered holder of Common Shares to purchase from the Company one (1) Common Share, at a price of $0.75, subject to certain adjustments
(the “Exercise Price”).
The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Stockholder
Rights Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2026 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”) by and between
the Company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”).
The following description of the terms of the Rights Agreement does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Rights Agreement, including the exhibits
thereto, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Distribution and Exercise of Rights; Distribution Date and Expiration
Date
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement, the Rights
will be issued in respect of all Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date, and in respect of all Common Shares issued after the Record
Date and prior to the earliest to occur of the Distribution Date (as defined below) and the Expiration Date (as defined below). In addition,
following the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may issue Rights in respect of any voting shares of the
Company issued or sold pursuant to any of the following, to the extent already existing or outstanding prior to the Distribution Date:
the exercise of stock options, under any employee plan or arrangement, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities, notes
or debentures issued by the Company or pursuant to contractual obligations of the Company.
The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire
upon the close of business on the earliest to occur of: (i) July 22, 2027, (ii) the date on which the rights are redeemed or exchanged
by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Rights Agreement or (iii) the date of the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders
if requisite stockholder approval of the Rights Agreement is not obtained at such meeting (such date, the “Expiration Date”).
Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the Common Shares and become exercisable
upon the close of business on the day (the “Distribution Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) business
day following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (subject to certain exceptions set forth
in the Rights Agreement) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (an “Acquiring Person”)
and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person
or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of the commencement of, or the first public announcement
of the intention to commence, by any person (other than an Exempt Person, as defined in the Rights Agreement) a tender or exchange offer,
the consummation of which would result in such person or group of affiliated or associated persons becoming an Acquiring Person. For purposes
of calculating beneficial ownership under the Rights Agreement, certain synthetic interests in securities created by derivative positions
are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of Common Shares equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative security.
1
Transfer of Rights Prior to the Distribution Date; Right Certificates
Prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will not be represented
by a separate certificate, and will be evidenced by the certificate or book-entry account, as applicable, representing record ownership
of the associated Common Shares. Until the earlier of the Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, any new Common Share certificate
(the “Share Certificates”) issued after the Record Date will, in each case, contain a legend incorporating the Rights Agreement
by reference. Notice of such legend will also be provided to holders of any new uncertificated Common Shares.
The Rights Agreement provides that, prior to the Distribution Date
(or the earlier occurrence of the Expiration Date), the Rights will be transferrable only together with the transfer of the Common Shares.
During such period, the surrender for transfer of any Share Certificates (or the effectuation of a book-entry transfer of Common Shares)
will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Shares, as applicable, represented thereby. As soon as practicable
following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be mailed to holders
of record of the Common Shares, as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and such separate certificates alone will evidence
the Rights from and after the Distribution Date. The Company and the Rights Agent may from time to time amend the Rights Agreement to
provide for uncertificated Rights in addition to or in place of Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates.
Shares Purchasable Upon Exercise of Rights
After the Distribution Date, each Right (other than Rights beneficially
owned by an Acquiring Person and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof, whose Rights will have become null and void)
will entitle the holder to purchase, upon payment of the Exercise Price, one (1) Common Share (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments
set forth in the Rights Agreement and described below).
Anti-Dilution
The Exercise Price, the number of outstanding Rights and the number
of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights are subject to certain adjustments from time to time to prevent dilution in the
event of a stock dividend on, stock split affecting or a subdivision or combination of, or a reclassification of, the Common Shares, or
if a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required until
cumulative adjustments require an adjustment, upward or downward, of at least 1% in such Exercise Price. Consequences of a Person or Group
Becoming an Acquiring Person Flip-In Trigger. In the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right (other than
Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof, whose Rights will have become
null and void), will thereafter entitle the holder to purchase (in lieu of acquiring one (1) Common Share), upon payment of the Exercise
Price, a number of Common Shares having a fair market value (determined pursuant to the Rights Agreement) equal to approximately two (2)
times the Exercise Price in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement. Flip-Over Trigger. In the event that, after the time that
a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination (in which any Common
Shares are changed into or exchanged for other securities or assets) or more than fifty percent (50%) of the consolidated assets or earning
power of the Company and its subsidiaries are sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder of record of a Right (other than
Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof, whose Rights will have become
null and void) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the Principal
Party (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) having a fair market value at the time of such transaction determined in accordance
with the Rights Agreement equal to approximately two (2) times the Exercise Price. Exchange of Rights. At any time after any person or
group becomes an Acquiring Person (but prior to the acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
Common Shares), the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which will have become
null and void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one (1) Common Share for each Right (subject to adjustment to reflect any
stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date of the Rights Agreement) in accordance with the Rights Agreement.
2
Redemption of Rights
The Rights are redeemable by the Board of Directors (in its sole discretion)
at any time prior to a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. The Board of Directors must redeem all outstanding Rights, at a redemption
price of $0.0001 per Right, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, splits, combinations or consolidations with respect
to the Common Shares (the “Redemption Price”) payable, at the option of the Company, in cash, Common Shares. The right to
exercise the Rights will terminate immediately upon the effective time of the redemption, and thereafter the only right of the holders
of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
No Rights of Holders as a Stockholder
Until a Right is exercised, the holder, in their capacity as such,
will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to be
deemed (or have the rights of a) holder of Common Shares or other securities that may at any time be issuable upon exercise thereof. Amendments
For as long as the Rights are then redeemable, the Company may amend the Rights Agreement in any manner without the approval of any holders
of the Rights. After the Rights are no longer redeemable, the Company may amend the Rights Agreement (other than the Redemption Price
or in a manner that would cause the Rights to again become redeemable) without the approval of any holders of the Rights so long as amendment
does not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or any other person in whose
hands Rights have become null and in accordance with the Rights Agreement).

Exhibit 4.1
RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS RIGHTS AGREEMENT (as
it may be amended from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of July 22, 2026, is entered into by and between
Greenland Mines Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as
rights agent (the “Rights Agent”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, on July 21,
2026, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) for each share of Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined) outstanding as of the close of business on August 7, 2026 (the “Record Date”), with each such Right initially
representing the right to purchase one (1) (subject to adjustment as provided herein) share of Common Stock, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, on July 21,
2026, the Board of Directors authorized and approved the issuance of the Rights in connection with such dividend and further authorized
the issuance of one Right (subject to adjustment as provided herein) with respect to each share of Common Stock which may be issued between
the Record Date and the earliest to occur of the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined); provided,
however, that Rights may be issued with respect to shares of Common Stock that shall become outstanding after the Distribution
Date and prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with Section 22 hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Certain
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings provided in this Section 1.
(a) “Acquiring Person”
shall mean any Person who shall be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include an
Exempt Person; provided, however, that:
(i) if the Board of Directors
determines that a Person, who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person”, became the Beneficial Owner of a number of Common
Shares such that the Person would otherwise qualify as an “Acquiring Person” inadvertently (including, without limitation,
because (A) such Person was unaware that it Beneficially Owned that number of Common Shares that would otherwise cause such Person
to be an “Acquiring Person” or (B) such Person was aware of the extent of its Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares but
had no actual knowledge of the consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement), then such Person shall not be deemed to
be or to have become an “Acquiring Person” unless and until such Person shall have failed to divest itself, as soon as practicable
(as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion), of Beneficial Ownership of a sufficient number of Common Shares (or,
in the case solely of Derivative Shares, such Person promptly (x) terminates the subject derivative transaction or transactions,
(y) disposes of the subject derivative security or securities, or (z) establishes to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors
that such Derivative Shares are not held with any intention of obtaining, changing or influencing control of the Company) so that such
Person would no longer otherwise qualify as an “Acquiring Person”;
(ii) an Existing Holder
shall not be deemed to be or to become an “Acquiring Person” unless and until such time as such Existing Holder shall become
the Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares representing two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the then-outstanding Common Shares
(other than additional shares Beneficial Ownership of which is acquired pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Company
on the outstanding Common Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares); provided, however,
that if, at any time following the date hereof, any Existing Holder Beneficially Owns less than 15% of the Common Shares then outstanding,
the provisions of this paragraph (ii) shall cease to apply to such Existing Holder and such Existing Holder shall thereafter become
an Acquiring Person if such Existing Holder acquires Beneficial Ownership of additional Common Shares such that its Beneficial Ownership
represents 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Company
on the outstanding Common Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares);
(iii) no Person shall become
an “Acquiring Person” solely as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company which, by reducing the number
of Common Shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares of Common Shares Beneficially Owned by such Person so that
such Person would otherwise become an “Acquiring Person”; provided, further, however, that if any such
Person shall thereafter become the Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares representing two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the
then outstanding Common Shares (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by the Company on the outstanding Common
Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares), then such Person shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring
Person” unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional Common Shares, such Person does not Beneficially Own 15% or
more of the Common Shares then outstanding;
(iv) no Person shall become
an “Acquiring Person” solely as a result of any unilateral grant of any security by the Company or through the exercise of
any options, warrants, rights or similar interests (including restricted stock) granted by the Company to its directors, officers and
employees; and
(v) no Person shall become
an “Acquiring Person” solely as the result of the acquisition by such Person of Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares from
an individual who, on the later of the date hereof and the first public announcement of this Agreement, is the Beneficial Owner of 15%
or more of the Common Shares then outstanding if such Common Shares are received by such Person upon such individual’s death pursuant
to such individual’s will or pursuant to a charitable trust created by such individual for estate planning purposes; provided,
further however, that if any such Person shall thereafter become the Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares representing
two-tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the then outstanding Common Shares (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made
by the Company on the outstanding Common Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares), then such Person
shall be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional Common Shares, such
Person does not Beneficially Own 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding.
2
For all purposes of this
Agreement, any calculation of the number of Common Shares outstanding at any particular time, including for purposes of determining the
particular percentage of outstanding Common Shares of which any Person is the Beneficial Owner, shall include the number of Common Shares
not outstanding at the time of such calculation that such Person is otherwise deemed to Beneficially Own for purposes of this Agreement,
but the number of Common Shares not outstanding that such Person is otherwise deemed to Beneficially Own for purposes of this Agreement
shall not be included for the purpose of computing the percentage of the outstanding Common Shares Beneficially Owned by any other Person
(unless such other Person is also deemed to Beneficially Own for purposes of this Agreement such Common Shares not outstanding).
(b) “Affiliate”
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, as in effect on
the date of this Agreement.
(c) “Agreement”
shall have the meaning set forth in the preamble.
(d) “Associate”
of a Person shall mean (i) with respect to a corporation, any officer or director thereof or any Associate of any Subsidiary thereof,
or any Beneficial Owner of ten percent (10%) or more of any class of equity security thereof, (ii) with respect to an association,
any officer or director thereof or any Associate of a Subsidiary thereof, (iii) with respect to a partnership, any general partner
thereof or any limited partner thereof who is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of ten percent (10%) or more ownership interest
therein, and any Associate of any Subsidiary thereof, (iv) with respect to a limited liability company, any manager or managing member
thereof and any Beneficial Owner of ten percent (10%) or more of any class of membership interest therein or other equity security thereof,
and any Associate of any Subsidiary thereof, (v) with respect to a business trust, any officer or trustee thereof or any Associate
of any Subsidiary thereof, (vi) with respect to any other trust or an estate, any trustee, executor or similar fiduciary and any
Person who has a ten percent (10%) or more interest as a beneficiary in the income from or principal of such trust or estate, (vii) with
respect to a natural person, the parents and children thereof and any spouse or relative thereof, or any relative of such spouse, who
has the same home as such person, and (viii) any Affiliate of such Person.
3
(e) A person shall be deemed the “Beneficial
Owner” of and to “Beneficially Own” or have “Beneficial Ownership” (and correlative terms
shall have correlative meanings) of any securities:
(i) which such Person or
any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates is deemed to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement;
(ii) which such Person or
any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has (A) the right or obligation to acquire (whether such right is exercisable,
or such obligation is required to be performed, immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both)
pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing), or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange
rights, other rights (other than the Rights), warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a Person shall
not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, to Beneficially Own or to have Beneficial Ownership of, (x) securities tendered pursuant to
a tender or exchange offer made by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are
accepted for purchase or exchange, (y) securities issuable upon the exercise of Rights from and after the time that any Person becomes
an Acquiring Person if such Rights were acquired by such first Person or any of such first Person’s Affiliates or Associates prior
to the Distribution Date or pursuant to Section 3(b) or Section 22 hereof (“Original Rights”) or pursuant
to Section 11(f) or Section 11(n) hereof with respect to an adjustment to Original Rights, or (z) securities which such
Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates may acquire, does or do acquire or may be deemed to have the right to acquire,
pursuant to any merger or other acquisition agreement between the Company and such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates
or Associates) if such agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors prior to such Person’s becoming an Acquiring Person;
or (B) the right to vote, alone or in concert with others, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not
in writing); provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, to Beneficially Own or to have
Beneficial Ownership of, any such securities if the agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such security (1) arises solely
from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made on Schedule 14A (or any successor form) pursuant
to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and (2) is not at the time also reportable
by such Person on a Schedule 13D report under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report), other than by reference to a proxy
or consent solicitation being conducted by such Person;
(iii) which are Beneficially
Owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person with which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has any
agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except as described
in clause (B) of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph (d)) or disposing of any securities of the Company; provided, however,
that for purposes of determining Beneficial Ownership of securities under this Agreement, officers, directors and employees of an Exempt
Person, solely by reason of their status as such, shall not constitute a group (notwithstanding that they may be Associates of one another
or may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Section 13(d) the Exchange Act) and shall not be deemed to own securities
owned by another officer, director or employee of such Exempt Person; or
4
(iv) which are the subject
of, or the reference securities for, or that underlie any derivative transaction entered into by such Person, or derivative security (including
options) acquired by such Person, which gives such Person the economic equivalent of ownership of an amount of such securities due to
the fact that the value of the derivative is directly or indirectly determined by reference to the price or value of such securities,
without regard to whether such Person may have entered into other transactions that hedge the economic effect of such derivative
but provided that in all cases that such derivative either (A) conveys voting rights in such securities to such Person or (B) is
required to be, or is capable of being, settled through delivery of such securities. In determining the number of Common Shares deemed
Beneficially Owned by virtue of the operation of this Section 1(e)(iv), the subject Person shall be deemed to Beneficially Own (without
duplication) the number of Common Shares that are synthetically owned pursuant to such derivative transactions or such derivative securities.
The number of Common Shares that are synthetically owned shall be the notional or other number of Common Shares in respect of such derivative
transactions or securities that is specified in a filing by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or in the documentation evidencing such derivative transactions
or securities, and in any case (or if no such number of Common Shares is specified in any filing or documentation), as determined by the
Board of Directors to be the number of Common Shares that are synthetically owned pursuant to such derivative transactions or securities.
Such Common Shares that are deemed so Beneficially Owned pursuant to the operation of this Section 1(e)(iv) shall be referred to
herein as “Derivative Shares.”
Notwithstanding anything in
this paragraph (e) to the contrary, a Person engaged in the business of underwriting securities in the ordinary course of its business
shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, to Beneficially Own or to have Beneficial Ownership of, any securities acquired or otherwise
beneficially owned in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the expiration of forty (40) days after the date of the
sale of securities to the public pursuant to such firm commitment underwriting.
(f) “Board of Directors”
shall have the meaning set forth in the recitals.
(g) “Business Day”
shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or the State of Delaware
are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
(h) “Close of Business”
on any given date shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date; provided, however, that if such date is not
a Business Day it shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day.
5
(i) “Common Stock”
when used without reference or with reference to the Company shall mean the Common Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (as such par value
may be changed from time to time) of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and any other common stock of the Company into
or for which such common stock is changed, converted or exchanged. “Common Stock” when used with reference to any Person
other than the Company which shall be organized in corporate form shall mean the capital stock or other equity security having the greatest
aggregate voting power in the election of directors of all classes of capital stock or equity securities of such corporation. “Common
Stock” when used with reference to any Person which shall not be organized in corporate form shall mean units of beneficial
interest in the profits or losses of such Person or other equity security of such Person having the greatest aggregate voting power in
the election of the directors, trustees, managers or other Persons performing like governance functions for such Person of all classes
of equity securities of such Person.
(j) “Company”
shall have the meaning provided in the preamble hereof; provided, however, that “Company” shall also include
any successors to the Company as provided by Section 28 hereof and shall mean a Principal Party as provided by Section 13(a)
and Section 13(b) hereof.

be as the Company reasonably determines, provided that such duties are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
that contemporaneously with such appointment the Company shall notify, in writing, the Rights Agent and any co-Rights Agents of any such

Section 3. Issuance
of Right Certificates.
(a) As soon as practicable
after the Record Date, the Company shall make available a copy of a Summary of Rights, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Summary of Rights”), to any holder of Rights who may request it prior to the Expiration Date.
8
(b) Until the Close of Business
on the day which is the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Stock Acquisition Date or (ii) the tenth (10th)
Business Day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an
Acquiring Person) after the date of the commencement by any Person (other than an Exempt Person) of, or as of the first public announcement
of the intention of any Person (other than an Exempt Person) to commence, a tender or exchange offer upon the successful consummation
of which any Person (other than an Exempt Person) would be an Acquiring Person (including any such date which is after the date of this
Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Rights, the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the “Distribution Date”),
(A) the Rights shall be evidenced by the certificates for Common Stock (or in the case of uncertificated shares of Common Stock, by the
book-entry account that evidences record ownership for such shares) registered in the names of the holders of Common Stock and not by
separate Right certificates, and the record holders of such certificates (or such book-entry accounts) for Common Stock shall be the record
holders of the Rights represented thereby and (B) each Right shall only be transferable simultaneously and together with the transfer
of a share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided). Until the Distribution Date (or, if earlier, the Expiration
Date), the surrender for transfer of any certificate for Common Stock (or the effectuation of a book-entry transfer of shares of Common
Stock) shall constitute the surrender for transfer of the Right or Rights associated with the Common Stock evidenced thereby.
(c) Rights shall be issued
in respect of all shares of Common Stock that become outstanding after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date
or the Expiration Date. Certificates that become outstanding for Common Stock (including, without limitation, certificates issued upon
original issuance, disposition from the Company’s treasury or transfer or exchange of Common Stock) after the Record Date but prior
to the earliest of the Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, or, in certain circumstances provided in Section 22 hereof, after
the Distribution Date, shall have impressed, printed, written or stamped thereon or otherwise affixed thereto a legend in substantially
the following form:
This certificate
also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to the same number of Rights (subject to adjustment pursuant to the Rights Agreement) equal
to the number of Common Shares of Greenland Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) represented by this certificate, such Rights being
on the terms set forth in the Rights Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (or any successor rights
agent) (the “Rights Agent”), dated as of July 22, 2026, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Rights Agreement”),
the terms of which (including the restrictions on the transfer of such Rights) are incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which
is on file at the principal executive offices of the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such
Rights may be redeemed, may become exercisable for securities or assets of the Company, or securities of another entity, may be exchanged
for Common Shares or other securities or assets of the Company or may expire. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights
Agreement, such Rights shall be evidenced by separate certificates and shall no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Company shall
mail to the registered holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor.
As provided in Section 7(f) of the Rights Agreement, Rights issued to or Beneficially Owned by Acquiring Persons or their Affiliates
or Associates (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) or any subsequent holder of such Rights shall be null and void and may
not be exercised by or transferred to any Person.
9
With respect to any book-entry
shares of Common Stock, such legend shall be included in a notice to the record holder of such shares in accordance with applicable law.
With respect to such certificates containing the foregoing legend, or any notice of the foregoing legend delivered to holders of book-entry
shares, until the Distribution Date, the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates or registered in book-entry
form shall be evidenced by such certificates alone or such registration in book-entry form, and the surrender for transfer of any such
certificate or book-entry shares, except as otherwise provided herein, shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with
the Common Stock. In the event that the Company purchases or otherwise acquires any shares of Common Stock after the Record Date but prior
to the Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed canceled and retired so that the Company
shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with such shares of Common Stock that are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding
this paragraph (c), neither the omission of a legend, nor the failure to provide notice thereof, shall affect the enforceability of any
part of this Agreement or the rights of any holder of the Rights.
(d) As soon as practicable
after the Distribution Date, the Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will countersign, and the Company will send or cause
to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if requested by the Company, send), by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each record holder
of the Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date (other than an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate
of an Acquiring Person), as shown by the records of the Company or the transfer agent or registrar for Common Stock, at the address of
such holder shown on such records, certificates substantially in the forms provided by Section 4 hereof (the “Right Certificates”),
evidencing one Right (subject to adjustment as provided herein) for each share of Common Stock so held. As of and after the Distribution
Date, the Rights shall be evidenced solely by Right Certificates and may be transferred by the transfer of the Right Certificate as permitted
hereby, separately and apart from any transfer of one or more shares of Common Stock.
Section 4. Form of
Right Certificates. The Right Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase shares, certificate and assignment to be printed
on the reverse thereof), when, as and if issued, shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and, in each
case, may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as may be required
to comply with any applicable law or any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange
on which the Common Stock or the Rights may from time to time be listed or as the Company may deem appropriate (but which do not affect
the rights, duties, liabilities or responsibilities of the Rights Agent) to conform to usage or otherwise and as are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 22 hereof, Right Certificates evidencing Rights whenever
issued, (a) shall be dated as of the date of issuance of the Rights they represent and (b) subject to adjustment from time to
time as provided herein, on their face shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
set forth thereon at the price per share of Common Stock payable upon exercise of a Right provided by Section 7(b) hereof, as the
same may from time to time be adjusted as provided herein (the “Exercise Price”).
10
Section 5. Countersignature
and Registration.
(a) Each Right Certificate
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief
Legal Officer, either manually or by facsimile or electronic signature, and have affixed thereto the Company’s seal or a facsimile
or electronic version thereof which shall be attested to by the Corporate Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, either manually
or by facsimile or electronic signature. Each Right Certificate shall be countersigned by the Rights Agent either manually or by facsimile
or electronic signature and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall have
signed any Right Certificate shall cease to hold such office of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and
delivery of the Right Certificate by the Company, such Right Certificate, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued
and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Right Certificates had not ceased to hold such office
of the Company. Any Right Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, on the date of the execution of such Right
Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Right Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement
any such person was not such an officer.
(b) Following the Distribution
Date, the Rights Agent shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, books for registration
and transfer of the Right Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the
Right Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on the face of each of the Right Certificates and the date of each of the Right Certificates.
Section 6. Transfer,
Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Right Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Right Certificates.
(a) Subject to the provisions
of Section 7(f), Section 7(g) and Section 14 hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date,
and at or prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, any Right Certificate (other than Right Certificates representing Rights
that have become null and void pursuant to Section 11 hereof or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 27 hereof), may
be (i) transferred or (ii) split up, combined or exchanged for one or more other Right Certificates, entitling the registered
holder to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock as the Right Certificate surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase.
Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Right Certificate shall surrender the Right Certificate
at the office of the Right Agent designated for such purpose with the form of certificate and assignment on the reverse side thereof duly
endorsed (or enclose with such Right Certificate a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Rights Agent),
duly executed by the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and with such signature duly guaranteed and
such other and further documentation as the Rights Agent or the Company may require. The Right Certificates are transferable only on the
registry books of the Rights Agent. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect
to the transfer of any such surrendered Right Certificate until the registered holder shall have (i) properly completed and duly
executed the certificate contained in the form of assignment set forth on the reverse side of such Right Certificate accompanied by a
Signature Guarantee and such other documentation as the Rights Agent reasonably requests, (ii) provided such additional evidence
of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) from whom the Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate are to be
transferred (or the Beneficial Owner to whom such Rights are to be transferred) or Affiliates thereof as the Company or the Rights Agent
shall reasonably request, and (iii) paid a sum sufficient to cover any Transfer Tax that may be imposed in connection with any transfer,
split up combination or exchange of Right Certificates. Thereupon, subject to Section 5, Section 7(f), Section 7(g) and
Section 14 hereof, the Company shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a
Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested, registered in such name or names as may be designated by
the surrendering registered holder. The Rights Agent shall forward any such sum collected by it to the Company or to such Persons as the
Company shall specify by written notice. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation under any Section of this Agreement that requires
the payment of Transfer Taxes unless and until it is satisfied that all such Transfer Taxes have been paid in full.
11
(b) Subject to the provisions
of Section 7(f), Section 7(g) and Section 14 hereof, at any time after the Distribution Date and prior to the Close of
Business on the Expiration Date, upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of a Right Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to them and, if requested by the Company, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental
thereto, or upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right Certificate if mutilated, the Company shall cause a new Right
Certificate of like tenor to be issued and delivered to the registered owner in lieu of the Right Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated.
(c) Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Rights Agent may amend this Agreement to provide for uncertificated Rights in addition
to or in place of Rights evidenced by Right Certificates.
Section 7. Exercise
of Rights; Exercise Price; Expiration Date of Rights; Invalidation of Certain Rights.
(a) The Rights shall not
be exercisable until, and shall become exercisable on, the Distribution Date (unless otherwise provided herein, including, without limitation,
the restrictions on exercisability set forth in Section 7(f), Section 23(a) and Section 27(b) hereof). Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Rights may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time commencing on the Distribution Date upon surrender of the
Right Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and certificate on the reverse side thereof duly executed, to the Rights Agent
at the designated office of the Rights Agent for such purpose, accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and such other documentation as the
Rights Agent may reasonably request together with payment of the Exercise Price (which payment shall include any additional amount payable
by such Person in accordance with Section 11 hereof) for each Right exercised (as the same may have been adjusted as hereinafter
provided), at or prior to the Close of Business on the earliest to occur of (i) July 22, 2027, (ii) the date on which the Rights
are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof or the date on which the Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 27 hereof,
or (iii) the date of the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders if Stockholder Approval has not been obtained at such
meeting (such earliest date being herein referred to as the “Expiration Date”).
(b) The Exercise Price shall
initially be $0.75 for one (1) Common Share issued pursuant to the exercise of a Right. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities or property to be acquired upon exercise of a Right shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as provided in Section 11 and Section 13 hereof. The Exercise Price shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of
America, in accordance with paragraph (c) below.
12
(c) Following the occurrence
of a Trigger Event, the Board may, prior to the Distribution Date, either (i) permit the Rights to become exercisable in accordance with
the Agreement, (ii) redeem the Rights, (iii) exchange the Rights, or (iv) exempt the Acquiring Person pursuant to specified standards.
(d) Except as otherwise provided
herein, upon receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable Rights with the form of election to purchase duly executed, accompanied
by payment by certified check, cashier’s check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company or the Rights Agent of the aggregate
Exercise Price for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, or other assets, as the case may be) to be purchased
and an amount equal to any applicable Transfer Tax required to be paid by the holder of the Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9(e)
hereof, the Rights Agent shall thereupon promptly (i) request from any transfer agent of the Common Stock (or from the Company, if
there shall be no such transfer agent, or make available if the Rights Agent is such transfer agent) one or more certificates representing
the number of shares of Common Stock to be so purchased, and the Company hereby authorizes and directs such transfer agent to comply with
all such requests, (ii) as provided in Section 14(b) hereof, at the election of the Company, cause depositary receipts to be
issued in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, and the Company hereby directs such depositary agent to comply with all such requests,
(iii) if the election provided for in the immediately preceding clause (ii) has not been made, request from the Company the
amount of cash to be paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14(b) hereof, (iv) after receipt
of such Common Stock certificates and, if applicable, depositary receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the
registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder, and (v) when appropriate,
after receipt, promptly deliver such cash to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate; provided, however,
that in the case of a purchase of securities other than Common Stock, pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the Rights Agent shall promptly
take the appropriate actions corresponding in such case to that referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 7(d).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(d), the Company may suspend (with prompt written notice thereof to the
Rights Agent) the issuance of shares of Common Stock and other securities upon exercise of a Right for a reasonable period, not in excess
of ninety (90) days, during which the Company seeks to register under the Securities Act, and any applicable securities law of any
other jurisdiction, the shares of Common Stock or other securities to be issued pursuant to the Rights; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 7(d) shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 9(d) hereof. Upon any
such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement (with prompt written notice thereof to the Rights Agent) stating that the
exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement (with prompt written notice thereof to the
Rights Agent) at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect.
(e) In case the registered
holder of any Right Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Right Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent
to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the Rights Agent and countersigned and delivered by
the Rights Agent to the registered holder of such Right Certificate or his duly authorized assign, subject to the provisions of Section 14(b)
hereof.
13
(f) Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the time (the “invalidation time”) when any Person first becomes
an Acquiring Person, any Rights that are Beneficially Owned by (i) such Acquiring Person (or any Associate or Affiliate of such Acquiring
Person), (ii) a transferee of such Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the invalidation
time or (iii) a transferee of such Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently
with the invalidation time pursuant to either (A) a transfer from the Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) to holders
of its equity securities or to any Person with whom it has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred
Rights or (B) a transfer which the Board of Directors has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding which has the
purpose or effect of avoiding the provisions of this Section 7(f), and subsequent transferees of such Persons referred to in clauses (ii)
and (iii) above, shall be null and void without any further action and any holder of such Rights shall thereafter have no rights
whatsoever with respect to such Rights under any provision of this Agreement. No Right Certificate shall be issued pursuant to Section 3
hereof that represents Rights Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate thereof whose Rights would be null
and void pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7(f), no Right Certificate shall be issued at any time upon the transfer of any
Rights to an Acquiring Person (or an Affiliate or Associate of such Acquiring Person) whose Rights would be null and void pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 7(f) or any Associate or Affiliate thereof or to any nominee of such Acquiring Person, Associate or
Affiliate, and any Right Certificate delivered to the Rights Agent for transfer to an Acquiring Person (or an Associate or Affiliate of
such Acquiring Person) whose Rights would be null and void pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7(f) shall be cancelled. The
Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of this Section 7(f) are complied with, but it shall have
no liability to any holder of Right Certificates or any other Person as a result of its failure to make any determination with respect
to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates, Associates or transferees hereunder.
(g) Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to
a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall
have (i) completed and signed the certificate following the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Right
Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or
former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof and such other information as the Company or the Rights Agent shall reasonably
request.
Section 8. Cancellation
and Destruction of Right Certificates. All Right Certificates surrendered for the purpose of and accepted for exercise, transfer,
split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents (other than the Rights Agent), be delivered
to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in cancelled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Right
Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall
deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall cancel and retire, any Right Certificate purchased
or acquired by the Company other than in connection with the exercise thereof. At the expense of the Company, the Rights Agent shall deliver
all cancelled Right Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such cancelled Right Certificates,
and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company.
14
Section 9. Reservation
and Availability of Shares of Common Stock.
(a) The Company covenants
and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or out of authorized
and issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, such number of shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient
to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights.
(b) The Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to cause, from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all Common Shares issued or reserved
for issuance in accordance with this Agreement to be listed, upon official notice of issuance, upon the principal national securities
exchange, if any, upon which the Common Shares are listed or, if the principal market for the Common Shares is not on any national securities
exchange, to be eligible for or admitted to trading on any quotation or other system then in use.
(c) The Company covenants
and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock delivered upon exercise of
Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the full Exercise Price in respect thereof),
be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares.
(d) The Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to (i) file, as soon as practicable following the occurrence of the event described in Section 11(a)(ii),
or as soon as is required by law following the Distribution Date, as the case may be, a registration statement on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, with respect to the Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Rights,
(ii) cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and (iii) cause such registration
statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the
date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for Common Shares and (B) the Expiration Date. The Company may temporarily
suspend (with prompt written notice thereof to the Rights Agent), for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days, the issuance
of shares of Common Shares upon exercise of a Right in order to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act and
permit it to become effective. The Company shall also take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the
securities or “blue sky” laws of the various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights (to the extent exemptions
therefrom are not available). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in
any jurisdiction unless the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall have been obtained and until a registration statement under
the Securities Act shall have been declared effective, unless an exemption therefrom is available.
(e) The Company covenants
and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all United States federal and state Transfer Taxes which may be payable in respect
of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or of any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon the exercise of Rights.
The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any Transfer Tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of a Right
Certificate to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon exercise of Rights in a name other
than that of, the registered holder of the Right Certificate, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver a Right Certificate
or certificate for Common Stock to a Person other than such registered holder until any such Transfer Tax shall have been paid (any such
Transfer Tax being payable by the holder of such Right Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s
satisfaction that no such Transfer Tax is due.
15
Section 10. Common
Stock Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall
for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Stock represented thereby on, and such certificate shall
be dated as of, the date upon which the Right Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the full Exercise
Price (and any applicable Transfer Taxes) was made; provided, however, that, if the date of such surrender and payment is
a date upon which the relevant Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record
holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated as of, the next succeeding Business Day on which such Common Stock transfer
books are open.
Section 11. Adjustment of Exercise Price
or Number of Shares.
(a) The Exercise Price and
the number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of a Right are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in this Section 11.
(i) In the event the Company
shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) declare or pay a dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
(B) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine or consolidate the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares including by effecting a reverse split of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification
in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), then and in each such event
the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right
exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the aggregate number and kind
of shares of capital stock which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a time when the relevant Common
Stock transfer books of the Company were open, such holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue
of such dividend, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification; provided, however, that in no event
shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock
of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i)
and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made
prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.
(ii) Subject to Section 27
hereof, in the event that any Person (other than an Exempt Person) shall become an Acquiring Person, then (A) the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted to be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Person becoming an Acquiring Person multiplied by the number
shares of Common Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such Person becoming an Acquiring Person, whether or not
such Right was then exercisable, and (B) each holder of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(f) hereof, shall thereafter
have the right to receive, upon exercise of such Right at a price equal to the Exercise Price (as so adjusted), in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the result obtained by dividing the Exercise Price (as so
adjusted) by fifty percent (50%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof)
on the Stock Acquisition Date in respect of such event. From and after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 13(a) hereof,
any Rights that theretofore have not been exercised pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii) shall thereafter be exercisable only in accordance
with Section 13 and not pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii).
16
(iii) In the event that
the Company does not have available sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise in full of the Rights
in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii), the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize and reserve
for issuance such number of additional shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required to be issued upon the exercise in full
of all Rights from time to time outstanding and, if necessary, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval thereof.
In lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii), the Company may, if the Board of Directors
determines that such action is necessary or appropriate, elect to issue or pay, upon the exercise of the Rights, cash, property, shares
of preferred stock, or any combination thereof, having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock which otherwise would have been issuable pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof as of the date the Board of Directors
makes such election (which Fair Market Value shall be determined as provided by Section 11(b) hereof). Subject to Section 23
hereof, any such election by the Board of Directors must be made and publicly announced within thirty (30) days after the date on
which the event described in Section 11(a)(ii) occurs and shall be applicable with respect to all Rights exercised after such public
announcement. Notice of such election shall promptly be given to the Rights Agent.
(b) For the purpose of this
Agreement, the “Fair Market Value” of any share of Common Stock or any other stock or any Right or other security or
any other property on any date shall be determined as provided in this Section 11(b). In the case of a publicly traded (as such term
is hereinafter defined) stock or other security, the Fair Market Value thereof on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
closing prices per share of such stock or per unit of such other security for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (as such term
is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to but not including such date; provided, however, that in the event that the
Fair Market Value of any share of Common Stock is to be determined as of a date that is within thirty (30) Trading Days after but
not including (i) the ex-dividend date for a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock or (ii) the effective date of any subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, reverse
stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock, then, and in each such case, the Fair Market Value shall be appropriately adjusted
by the Board of Directors to take into account such dividend, distribution, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation, reverse stock
split or reclassification. The closing price for any day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place
on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way (in either case, as reported in the applicable transaction reporting
system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange), or, if the securities are not listed or
admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, as reported in the applicable transaction reporting system with respect to securities
listed on the principal national securities exchange (which, if approved by the Board of Directors, may be a securities exchange of a
country other than the United States of America) on which such security is listed or admitted to trading, or, if not listed or admitted
to trading on any such national securities exchange, the last quoted price (or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low
asked prices) in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Exchange or such other quotation reporting system then in
use in the United States of America, or, if no bids for such security are so quoted, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as
furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such security selected by the Board of Directors. The term “Trading
Day” shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading
is open for the transaction of business or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange,
a Business Day. For purposes of this Section 11(b), a stock or other security shall be considered “publicly traded”
only (i) if registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or exempt from such registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(2)(B),
(C) or (G) of the Exchange Act, (ii) if traded on a national securities exchange of a country other than the United States of
America approved by the Board of Directors or (iii) if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, there is sufficient active trading
in such stock or other security that reported trading transactions therein fairly reflect the fair market value thereof. If a security
is not publicly traded, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the fair value per share of stock or per other unit of such other security,
as determined by an independent investment banking firm experienced in the valuation of securities selected in good faith by the Board
of Directors, or, if no such investment banking firm is, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, available to make such
determination, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the case of property other than securities, the Fair Market Value
thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors based upon such appraisals or valuation reports of such independent
experts as the Board of Directors shall in good faith determine to be appropriate in accordance with good business practices and fair
to the interests of the holders of Rights. Any determination made by the Board of Directors as provided for by this Section 11(b)
shall be described in a statement filed by the Company with the Rights Agent, shall be effective thereupon and only thereupon and shall
be binding upon the Rights Agent and, as provided by Section 34 hereof, all holders of Rights.
17
(c) In case the Company shall
fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring
within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or shares having the same
rights, privileges and preferences as the Common Stock (“Equivalent Common Stock”)) or securities convertible into
Common Stock (or Equivalent Common Stock) at a price per share of Common Stock (or Equivalent Common Stock) (or having a conversion price
per share, if a security convertible into shares of Common Stock or Equivalent Common Stock) less than the then current per share Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on such record date, the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock (and any Equivalent Common Stock) outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock
(and any Equivalent Common Stock) which the aggregate offering price of the total number of such shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate
initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current Fair Market Value and the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (and any Equivalent Common Stock) outstanding on such record date plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock (and any Equivalent Common Stock) to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible
securities so to be offered are initially convertible); provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be
paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise
of one Right. In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash,
the value of such consideration shall be as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement
filed with the Rights Agent. Shares of Common Stock (and any Equivalent Common Stock) owned by or held for the account of the Company
shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be the
Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(d) In case the Company shall
fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of the Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation) of evidences of indebtedness of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or other assets (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock)
or options, rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of the Company or any Subsidiary (excluding those referred to in Section 11(c)
hereof), the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on such record
date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed
with the Rights Agent) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness or options, rights or warrants so to be distributed in
respect of one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such current Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock;
provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate
par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a record date is fixed, and, in the event that such distribution is not so made notwithstanding the setting of a record
date therefor, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had
not been fixed.
18
(e) Unless the Company shall
have exercised its election as provided in Section 11(f), upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the calculations
made in Section 11(c) or Section 11(d), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter
evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that number of shares of Common Stock obtained by (i) multiplying
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased upon exercise of a Right immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant
to this Section 11(e) by (B) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Exercise Price and (ii) dividing
the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.
(f) The Company may elect,
on or after the date of any adjustment of the Exercise Price, or any adjustment made to the number of shares of Common Stock for which
a Right may be exercised pursuant to Section 11(a)(i), Section 11(c) or Section 11(d), to adjust the number of Rights in
substitution for any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding
after such adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Right was exercisable
immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number
of Rights obtained by dividing the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Exercise Price by the Exercise Price
in effect immediately after adjustment of the Exercise Price. The Company shall make a public announcement (with prompt notice thereof
to the Rights Agent) of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the
time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Exercise Price is adjusted or any day thereafter,
but, if the Right Certificates have been issued, shall be at least ten (10) days later than the date of the public announcement.
If the Right Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(f), the Company
shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates on such record date Right Certificates
evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights, if any, to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such
adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement
for the Right Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company,
new Right Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Right Certificates so
to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and shall be registered in the names of
the holders of record of Right Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement.
(g) No adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Exercise
Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11(g) are not required to be made shall
be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a share of Common Stock or one ten-thousandth of any other share or security, as
the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(g), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall
be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the transaction which requires such adjustment or (ii) the
Expiration Date.
19
(h) Irrespective of any adjustment
or change in the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Right Certificates
theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Exercise Price and the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the
Rights as in the initial Right Certificates issued hereunder but, nevertheless, shall represent the Rights as so adjusted.
(i) Before taking any action
that would cause an adjustment reducing the purchase price per whole share of Common Stock upon exercise of the Rights below the then
par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take any corporate action which
may, in the advice of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted purchase price per share.
(j) Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 11 to the contrary, in the event of any reclassification of stock of the Company or any recapitalization, reorganization
or partial liquidation of the Company or similar transaction, the Company shall be entitled to make such further adjustments in the number
of shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights, and such adjustments in the Exercise Price therefor, in addition
to those adjustments expressly required by the other paragraphs of this Section 11, as the Board of Directors shall determine to
be necessary or appropriate in order for the holders of the Rights in such event to be treated equitably and in accordance with the purpose
and intent of this Agreement or in order that any such event shall not, but for such adjustment, in the advice of counsel to the Company,
result in the stockholders of the Company being subject to any United States federal income tax liability by reason thereof.
(k) If as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any
shares of capital stock of the Company other than the Common Stock, thereafter the Exercise Price and the number of such other shares
so receivable upon exercise of a Right shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in Section 11(a), Section 11(c), Section 11(d),
Section 11(e), Section 11(f) and Section 11(j) hereof, as applicable, and the provisions of Section 7, Section 9,
Section 10, Section 13 and Section 14 hereof with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other
shares.
(l) All Rights originally
issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment to the Exercise Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted
Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject
to further adjustments as provided herein.
20
(m) In any case in which
this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment to the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event,
the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuing to the holder of any Rights exercised after such record
date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above
the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the
Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due
bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence
of the event requiring such adjustment.
(n) Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Distribution Date,
the Company shall (i) declare and pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or (ii) effect a subdivision,
combination or consolidation of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend payable in Common Stock)
into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the number of Rights associated with each share of
Common Stock then outstanding, or issued or delivered thereafter, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the number of Rights thereafter
associated with each share of Common Stock following any such event shall equal the result obtained by multiplying the number of Rights
associated with each share of Common Stock immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of the event and the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the occurrence of such event.
(o) The Company agrees that,
after the earlier of the Distribution Date or the Stock Acquisition Date, it will not, except as permitted by Sections 23, 26 or 27 hereof,
take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will
diminish substantially or eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.
Section 12. Certification
of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Section 11, Section 13, Section 23(c)
or Section 27 hereof, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a brief, reasonably
detailed statement of the facts and computations accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with
the transfer agent a copy of such certificate, and (c) mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate in accordance
with Section 25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Company to make such certification or give such notice shall not
affect the validity of or the force or effect of the requirement for such adjustment. Any adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 11,
Section 13, Section 23(c) or Section 27 hereof shall be effective as of the date of the event giving rise to such adjustment.
The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained and shall have no
duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, such adjustment unless and until it shall have received
such certificate.
21
Section 13. Consolidation,
Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning Power.
(a) In the event that, at
any time after the time that any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, (i) the Company shall, directly or indirectly, consolidate with,
or merge with and into, any other Person or Persons and the Company shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation of such consolidation
or merger, (ii) any Person or Persons shall, directly or indirectly, consolidate with, or merge with and into, the Company, and the
Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger and, in connection with such consolidation or
merger, all or part of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed or converted into or exchanged for stock or other securities
of any other Person or of the Company or cash or any other property or (iii) the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall,
directly or indirectly, sell or otherwise transfer to any other Person (other than the Company or one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries
of the Company) in one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets or earning
power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), then, on the first occurrence of any such event, proper provision shall
be made so that (A) each holder of record of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(f) hereof, shall thereafter have the right
to receive, upon the exercise thereof at a price equal to the then current Exercise Price (as theretofore adjusted in accordance with
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such number of shares of validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable
and freely tradeable Common Stock of the Principal Party (as such term is hereinafter defined), not subject to any liens, encumbrances,
rights of first refusal or other adverse claims, as shall equal the result obtained by dividing (1) the Exercise Price (as theretofore
adjusted in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) by (2) fifty percent (50%) of the then per share Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock of the Principal Party on the date of the consummation of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer; provided,
however, that the Exercise Price (as adjusted) and the number of shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party so receivable upon
exercise of a Right shall be subject to further adjustment as appropriate in accordance with Section 11 hereof to reflect any events
occurring in respect of the Common Stock of such Principal Party after the occurrence of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer,
(B) such Principal Party shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer,
all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (C) the term “Company” for all purposes of
this Agreement shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such Principal Party, (D) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including,
but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 9
hereof) in connection with such consummation as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to its shares of Common Stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights; provided,
however, that, upon the subsequent occurrence of any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets, recapitalization,
reclassification of shares, reorganization or other extraordinary transaction in respect of such Principal Party, each holder of a Right
shall thereupon be entitled to receive, upon exercise of a Right and payment of the Exercise Price, such cash, shares, rights, warrants
and other property which such holder would have been entitled to receive had it, at the time of such transaction, owned the shares of
Common Stock of the Principal Party purchasable upon the exercise of a Right, and such Principal Party shall take such steps (including,
but not limited to, reservation of shares of stock) as may be necessary to permit the subsequent exercise of the Rights in accordance
with the terms hereof for such cash, shares, rights, warrants and other property, and (E) the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii)
hereof shall be of no effect following the occurrence of any event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above of this Section 13(a).
(b) “Principal Party”
shall mean:
(i) in the case of any transaction
described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of Section 13(a) hereof (A) the Person that is the issuer of the
securities into which shares of Common Stock are changed or otherwise exchanged or converted in such merger, or, if there is more than
one such issuer, the issuer of the Common Stock of which has the greatest market value or (B) if no securities are so issued, (1) the
Person that is the other party to the merger and that survives such merger, or, if there is more than one such Person, the Person the
Common Stock of which has the greatest market value, (2) if the Person that is the other party to the merger does not survive the
merger, the Person that does survive the merger (including the Company if it survives), or (3) the Person resulting from the consolidation;
and
22
(ii) in the case of any
transaction described in clause (iii) of the first sentence in Section 13(a), the Person that is the party receiving the greatest
portion of the assets or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions, or, if each Person that is a party to
such transaction or transactions receives the same portion of the assets or earning power so transferred or if the Person receiving the
greatest portion of the assets or earning power cannot be determined, whichever of such Persons as is the issuer of Common Stock having
the greatest market value of shares outstanding;
provided, however,
that in any such case, if the Common Stock of such Person is not at such time and has not been continuously over the preceding twelve
(12) month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, then (A) if such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary
of another Person the Common Stock of which is and has been so registered, the term “Principal Party” shall refer to such
other Person, (B) if such Person is a Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of more than one Person, the Common Stock of all of
which are and have been so registered, the term “Principal Party” shall refer to whichever of such Persons is the
issuer of the Common Stock having the greatest market value of shares outstanding, or (C) if such Person is owned, directly
or indirectly, by a joint venture formed by two or more Persons that are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the same Person, the rules
set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above shall apply to each of the owners having an interest in the venture as if the Person owned
by the joint venture was a Subsidiary of both or all of such joint venturers, and the Principal Party in each such case shall bear the
obligations set forth in this Section 13 in the same ratio as its interest in such Person bears to the total of such interests.
(c) The Company shall not
consummate any consolidation, merger or sale or transfer of assets or earning power referred to in Section 13(a) unless the Principal
Party shall have a sufficient number of authorized shares of its Common Stock that have not been issued or reserved for issuance to permit
exercise in full of all Rights in accordance with this Section 13 and unless prior thereto the Company and the Principal Party involved
therein shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent an agreement confirming that the Principal Party shall, upon consummation
of such consolidation, merger or sale or transfer of assets or earning power, assume this Agreement in accordance with Section 13(a)
hereof and that all rights of first refusal or preemptive rights in respect of the issuance of shares of Common Stock of the Principal
Party upon exercise of outstanding Rights have been waived and that such transaction shall not result in a default by the Principal Party
under this Agreement, and further providing that, as soon as practicable after the date of any consolidation, merger or sale or transfer
of assets or earning power referred to in Section 13(a) hereof, the Principal Party will:
(i) prepare and file a registration
statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate
form, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing
and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements
of the Securities Act) until the date of expiration of the Rights, and similarly comply with applicable state securities laws;
(ii) use its reasonable
best efforts to list (or continue the listing of) the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on a national
securities exchange in the United States;
23
(iii) deliver to holders
of the Rights historical financial statements for the Principal Party which comply in all respects with the requirements for registration
on Form 10 (or any successor form) under the Exchange Act. In the event that any of the transactions described in Section 13(a) hereof
shall occur at any time after the occurrence of a transaction described in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the Rights which have not theretofore
been exercised shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7(f) hereof, thereafter be exercisable in the manner described in Section 13(a);
and
(iv) obtain waivers of any
rights of first refusal or preemptive rights in respect of the Common Stock of the Principal Party subject to purchase upon exercise of
outstanding Rights.
(d) In case the Principal
Party which is to be a party to a transaction referred to in this Section 13 has a provision in any of its authorized securities
or in its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other comparable instrument governing its affairs, which provision would
have the effect of (i) causing such Principal Party to issue, in connection with, or as a consequence of, the consummation of a transaction
referred to in this Section 13, shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party at less than the then Fair Market Value per share
(determined pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof) or securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock of such Principal
Party at less than such then Fair Market Value (other than to holders of Rights pursuant to this Section 13) or (ii) providing
for any special tax or similar payment in connection with the issuance to any holder of a Right of Common Stock of such Principal Party
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13, then, in such event, the Company shall not consummate any such transaction unless
prior thereto the Company and such Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing
that the provision in question of such Principal Party shall have been canceled, waived or amended, or that the authorized securities
shall be redeemed, so that the applicable provision will have no effect in connection with, or as a consequence of, the consummation of
the proposed transaction.
(e) The Company covenants
and agrees that it shall not, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, enter into any transaction of the type described
in clauses (i) through (iii) of the first sentence of Section 13(a) hereof if (i) at the time of or immediately after such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other transaction there are any rights, warrants or other instruments or securities outstanding
or agreements in effect which would substantially diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights,
(ii) prior to, simultaneously with or immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other transaction, the stockholders
of the Person who constitutes, or would constitute, the Principal Party for purposes of Section 13(a) hereof shall have received
a distribution of Rights previously owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates or Associates or (iii) the form or nature of organization
of the Principal Party would preclude or limit the exercisability of the Rights.
24
Section 14. Fractional
Rights and Fractional Shares.
(a) The Company shall not
be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates which evidence fractional Rights (i.e., Rights to acquire
less than a share of Common Stock), unless such fractional Rights result from a transaction referred to in Section 11(a)(i) or Section 11(f)
hereof. If the Company shall determine not to issue such fractional Rights, then, in lieu of such fractional Rights, there shall be paid
to the holders of record of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount
in cash equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of a whole Right.
(b) The Company shall not
be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional
shares. In lieu of issuing fractions of shares of Common Stock, the Company may, at its election, issue depositary receipts evidencing
fractions of shares pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Company and a depositary selected by it, provided that such agreement
shall provide that the holders of such depositary receipts shall have all of the rights, privileges and preferences to which they would
be entitled as owners of the Common Stock. With respect to fractional shares, if the Company does not issue such fractional shares or
depositary receipts in lieu thereof, there shall be paid to the holders of record of Right Certificates at the time such Right Certificates
are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock. For
purposes of this Section 14(b), the current market value of one share of Common Stock for which a Right is exercisable shall be deemed
to be the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with Section 11(b) hereof) for the Trading
Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
(c) Whenever a payment for
fractional Rights or fractional shares is to be made by the Rights Agent under this Agreement, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare
and deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the facts related to such payment and the prices or formulas
utilized in calculating such payments and (ii) provide sufficient monies to the Rights Agent in the form of fully collected funds to make
such payments. The Rights Agent may rely upon such a certificate and has no duty with respect to, and will not be deemed to have knowledge
of, any payment for fractional Rights or fractional shares under any Section of this Agreement relating to the payment of fractional Rights
or fractional shares unless and until the Rights Agent has received such a certificate and sufficient monies.
Section 15. Rights
of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, except the rights of action vested in the Rights Agent pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Right Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date,
the holders of record of the Common Stock), and any holder of record of any Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of
the Common Stock), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution
Date, of the Common Stock), may, on his own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or
proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, his right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate
(or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated certificate representing shares of Common Stock) in the manner provided in such Right
Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically
acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled
to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of, the obligations of
the Company under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights Agent
shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under
this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, judgment, decree or ruling (whether interlocutory
or final) issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory, self-regulatory or administrative agency or commission,
or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining
performance of such obligation; provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such
injunction, order, judgment, decree or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as possible.
25
Section 16. Agreement
of Right Holders. Each holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with
every other holder of a Right that:
(a) prior to the Distribution
Date, the Rights shall be evidenced by the certificates for Common Stock (or in the case of uncertificated shares of Common Stock, by
the book-entry account that evidences record ownership of such shares) registered in the name of the holders of Common Stock, which certificates
for Common Stock (or book-entry account thereof) shall also constitute certificates for Rights, and not by separate Right Certificates,
and each Right shall be transferable only simultaneously and together with the transfer of shares of Common Stock;
(b) after the Distribution
Date, the Right Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights Agent if surrendered at the office of the Rights
Agent designated for such purpose, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer and with the appropriate forms and
certificates properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and such other documentation as the Rights Agent
may reasonably request;
(c) the Company and the Rights
Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Stock
certificate or, in the case of uncertificated shares of Common Stock, the book-entry account evidencing record ownership of such shares)
is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing
on the Right Certificates or the associated Common Stock certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 17. Right
Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. No holder, as such, of any Right Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends
or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Common Stock or any other securities which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the
Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Right Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of
any Right Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder or other securityholder of the Company or of a securityholder of any
other Person or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or
to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or securityholder action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
stockholders or securityholders (except as provided in Section 24 hereof), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise,
except in any such case the rights, if any, in respect thereof provided by this Agreement, until the Right or Rights evidenced by such
Right Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof for such stock or other security.
26
Section 18. Concerning
the Rights Agent.
(a) The Company agrees to
pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in accordance with a fee schedule to be mutually
agreed upon and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable and documented expenses and counsel fees and disbursements
and other disbursements incurred in the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, delivery and amendment of this Agreement
and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and
to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost or expense (including
the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) that may be paid, incurred or suffered by it, or to which it may become subject, absent
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent (which gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct
must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) for any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by the Rights Agent in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under
this Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly
or indirectly, or of enforcing its rights under this Agreement.
(b) The Rights Agent shall
be authorized and protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
in connection with its acceptance and administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder in reliance
upon any Right Certificate or Common Stock certificate or for other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power
of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, instruction, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to be duly signed, executed and, where necessary, guaranteed, verified or acknowledged, by the proper
Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth in Section 20. The Rights Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any event of which it was supposed to receive notice thereof hereunder, and the Rights Agent shall be fully protected and shall incur
no liability for failing to take action in connection therewith unless and until it has received such notice in writing.
(c) Section 18 and Section
20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent and the exercise, termination
and expiration of the Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Rights Agent be liable
for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, even if the Rights Agent has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
any liability of the Rights Agent under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of fees (but not including any reimbursed costs)
paid by the Company to the Rights Agent during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Rights
Agent is being sought.
27
Section 19. Merger,
Consolidation or Change of Name of the Rights Agent.
(a) Any Person into which
the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust
or stock transfer business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would
be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. The purchase of all or substantially
all of the Rights Agent’s assets employed in the performance of the transfer agent activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation
for purposes of this Section 19. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement
any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature
of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so countersigned, and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates
shall not have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in the name of the predecessor
Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent, and, in all such cases, such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided
in the Right Certificates and in this Agreement.
(b) In case at any time the
name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered,
the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned, in case at that
time any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either
in its prior name or in its changed name, and, in all such cases, such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right
Certificates and in this Agreement.
Section 20. Duties
of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes to perform only the duties and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and
no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall perform such duties
and obligations, by all of which the Company and the holders of Rights or shares of Common Stock by their acceptance thereof, shall be
bound.
(a) The Rights Agent may
consult with legal counsel selected by it (who may be an employee of or outside legal counsel for the Company or the Rights Agent), and
the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent
shall have no liability for or in respect of, any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in the absence of bad faith and
in accordance with such advice or opinion.
(b) Whenever in the performance
of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter (including the identity of
any Acquiring Person) be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such
fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate signed by the Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Legal
Officer of the Company, or any other authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be
full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. The Rights Agent shall
have no duty to act without such certificate as set forth in this Section 20(b).
28
(c) The Rights Agent shall
not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Right Certificates or
be required to verify the same (except as to its countersignature on such Right Certificates), but all such statements and recitals are
and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.
(d) The Rights Agent shall
not have any liability for or be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof
(except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the legality or validity or execution of any Right Certificate
(except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained
in this Agreement or in any Right Certificate; nor shall it be liable or responsible for any adjustment or calculation required under
Section 11, Section 13, Section 14 or Section 24 or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the
ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment or calculation (except with respect to the exercise of Rights
evidenced by Right Certificates subject to the terms and conditions hereof after actual notice of any such adjustment); nor shall it by
any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock
to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Right Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when so issued, be
validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) The Rights Agent shall
not be liable or responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of its obligations relating to any registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or this Agreement, including obligations under applicable regulation or law.
(f) The Rights Agent shall
not have any duty or responsibility in the case of the receipt of any written demand from any holder of Rights with respect to any action
or default by the Company, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt
to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or to make any demand upon the Company.
(g) The Company agrees that
it shall perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and
other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required or requested by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing
by the Rights Agent of this Agreement.
(h) The Rights Agent is hereby
authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any person reasonably believed
by the Rights Agent to be the Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Legal Officer of the
Company and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties under this Agreement, and such instructions
shall provide full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall not be liable for or in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any delay in acting while
waiting for those instructions. Any application by the Rights Agent for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the
Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Rights Agent under this Agreement
and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Rights Agent shall be fully authorized
and protected in relying upon the most recent instructions received from any such officer, and shall not be liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date
specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date indicated in such application
unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an earlier date) unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective
date, in the case of an omission), the Rights Agent has received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action
to be taken, suffered or omitted to be taken.
29
(i) The Rights Agent and any stockholder, director,
Affiliate, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company or become
pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise
act as fully and freely as though it were not the Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from
acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person.
(j) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise
any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents,
and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, omission, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys
or agents or for any loss to the Company or any other Person resulting from any such act, omission, default, neglect or misconduct, absent
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith in the selection and continued employment thereof (which gross negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
(k) No provision of this Agreement shall require
the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder
or in the exercise of its rights or powers if the Rights Agent has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(l) If, with respect to any Right Certificate
surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise or transfer, the certificate attached to the form of assignment or form of election to purchase,
as the case may be, has either not been properly completed or indicates an affirmative response to clause 1 or 2 thereof, the Rights Agent
shall not take any further action with respect to such requested exercise or transfer without first consulting with the Company; provided,
however that Rights Agent shall not be liable for any delays arising from the duties under this Section 20(l).
(m) The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility
to the Company, any holders of Rights or any other Person for interest or earnings on any moneys held by the Rights Agent pursuant to
this Agreement.
(n) The Rights Agent shall not be required to
take notice or be deemed to have notice of any event or condition hereunder, including any event or condition that may require action
by the Rights Agent, unless the Rights Agent shall be specifically notified in writing of such event or condition by the Company, and
all notices or other instruments required by this Agreement to be delivered to the Rights Agent must, in order to be effective, be received
by the Rights Agent as specified in Section 26 hereof, and in the absence of such notice so delivered, the Rights Agent may conclusively
assume no such event or condition exists.
30
(o) The Rights Agent may rely on and be fully
authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon (a) any guaranty of signature by an “eligible guarantor institution”
that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or other comparable “signature guarantee program”
or insurance program in addition to, or in substitution for, the foregoing; or (b) any law, act, regulation or any interpretation of the
same.
(p) In the event the Rights Agent believes any
ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document
received by the Rights Agent hereunder, the Rights Agent, may (upon notice to the Company of such ambiguity or uncertainty), in its sole
discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to Company, the holder of
any Right Certificate or any other Person for refraining from taking such action, unless the Rights Agent receives written instructions
signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Rights Agent.
Section 21. Change of Rights Agent.
The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’
notice in writing mailed to the Company and to the transfer agent by registered or certified mail. The Company may remove the Rights Agent
or any successor Rights Agent (with or without cause) upon thirty (30) days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent
or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to the transfer agent by registered or certified mail and, following the Distribution
Date, to the holders of the Right Certificates by first class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise
become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of thirty (30) days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity
by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a Right Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his Right
Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the Company shall become the Rights Agent or the holder of record of any Right Certificate
may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed
by the Company or by such a court, shall be (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or
of any state thereof, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers and is
subject to supervision or examination in the conduct of its corporate trust or stock transfer business by federal or state authorities
and which has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (b) an Affiliate
controlled by or under common control with one or more Persons described in clause (a) of this sentence. After appointment, the successor
Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent
without further act or deed, but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at
the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose; provided
that, such predecessor Rights Agent shall not be required to make any additional expenditure or assume any additional liability in connection
with the foregoing. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the
predecessor Rights Agent and the transfer agent, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered holders of the Right Certificates.
Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity
of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, in the event of resignation, removal or incapacity of the Rights Agent, the Company shall have the authority
to act as the Rights Agent until a successor Rights Agent shall have assumed the duties of the Rights Agent hereunder.
31
Section 22. Issuance of New Right Certificates.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right
Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by the Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Exercise
Price and the number or kind or class of shares of stock or other securities or property purchasable under the Right Certificates made
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of Common Shares following the
Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may, with respect to Common Shares so issued or sold pursuant to (a) the
exercise of stock options, (b) under any employee plan or arrangement, (c) upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities,
notes or debentures issued by the Company or (d) a contractual obligation of the Company, in each case existing prior to the Distribution
Date, issue Right Certificates representing the appropriate number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale.
Section 23. Redemption.
(a) The Board of Directors may, at its option,
at any time prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Rights
at a redemption price of $0.0001 per Right, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 23(c) hereof (the “Redemption Price”).
The redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors may be made effective at such time, on such basis and subject to such conditions,
as the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable prior to the expiration of the Company’s right of redemption.
(b) Without any further action and without any
notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate effective at the time so designated by action of the Board of Directors ordering
the redemption of the Rights and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. Within ten
(10) days after the effective time of the action of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall
give notice (with prompt notice thereof to the Rights Agent) of such redemption to the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing
such notice to all such holders at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution
Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Stock; provided, however, that the failure to give, or
any defect in, any such notice shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided
shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each notice of redemption will state the method by which the payment
of the Redemption Price will be made. At the option of the Board of Directors, the Redemption Price may be paid in cash to each Rights
holder or by the issuance of shares (and, at the Company’s election pursuant to Section 14(b) hereof, cash or depositary receipts
in lieu of fractions of shares) of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such cash payment.
(c) In the event the Company shall at any time
after the date of this Agreement, but before such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, (i) pay any dividend on Common
Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or
(iii) combine or consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or effect a reverse split of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock and as a consequence thereof the number of Rights outstanding shall change, then, and in each such
event, the Redemption Price may, by action of the Board of Directors in its discretion, be appropriately adjusted in respect of such transaction
so as to maintain the aggregate Redemption Price of all Rights after such transaction at the same amount, insofar as practicable, as before
the transaction.
32
Section 24. Notice of Proposed Actions.
(a) In case the Company,
after the Distribution Date, shall propose (i) to effect any of the transactions referred to in Section 11(a)(i) hereof or to
pay any dividend to the holders of record of its shares of Common Stock payable in shares of capital stock of any class or to make any
other distribution to the holders of record of its Common Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer to
the holders of record of its Common Stock options, warrants, or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase shares of Common Stock (including
any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, options, warrants,
convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification
involving only the subdivision or combination of outstanding Common Stock) or any recapitalization or reorganization of the Company, (iv) to
effect any consolidation or merger with or into, or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more of its Subsidiaries
to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets or earning power of
the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to, any other Person or Persons, or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of record of a Right Certificate, in accordance
with Section 25 hereof, notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such transaction
referred to in Section 11(a)(i) or such dividend or distribution, or the date on which such reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer of assets, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the record date for determining
participation therein by the holders of record of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in
the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders
of record of the Common Stock for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action, at least ten (10) days prior
to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of record of Common Stock, whichever
shall be the earlier. The failure to give notice required by this Section 24 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality
or validity of the action taken by the Company or the vote upon any such action.
(b) In case the event referred
to in Section 11(a)(ii) or Section 13 hereof shall occur, then the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter, in accordance
with Section 25 hereof, give to each holder of a Right notice of the occurrence of such event, which notice shall describe the event
and the consequences of the event to holders of Rights under Section 11(a)(ii) or Section 13 hereof, as applicable.
Section 25. Notices.
Notices or demands authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Rights Agent or by the holder of record of any Right Certificates

33
Section 26. Supplements
and Amendments. For as long as the Rights are then redeemable, the Company (at the direction of the Board of Directors in its sole
and absolute discretion) and the Rights Agent may supplement or amend any provision of this Agreement in any manner without the approval
of any holders of the Rights. At any time when the Rights are not then redeemable, the Company (at the direction of the Board of Directors)
and the Rights Agent may supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights, provided, however,
that no supplement or amendment may (a) materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights as such (other than an
Acquiring Person or any other Person in whose hands Rights are null and void under the provisions of Section 7(f) hereof), (b) change
the Redemption Price, (c) cause this Agreement again to become amendable other than in accordance with this Section 26 or (d) cause
the Rights again to become redeemable. Upon the delivery of a certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company which states that
the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 26, the Rights Agent shall execute such supplement
or amendment, subject to the last sentence hereof. No supplement or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless duly executed
by the Rights Agent and the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights Agent may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any supplement or amendment that affects the Rights Agent’s own rights, liabilities, duties, obligations
or immunities under this Agreement.
Section 27. Exchange.
(a) The Board of Directors
may, at its option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, exchange all or part of the then outstanding Rights (which
shall not include Rights that have become null and void pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(f) hereof) by exchanging for each
such Right one share of Common Stock, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring
after the date hereof (such number of shares of Common Stock per Right being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”).
The exchange of the Rights by the Board of Directors may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Prior to effecting an exchange pursuant to this Section 27, the Board of
Directors may direct the Company to enter into a Trust Agreement in such form and with such terms as the Board of Directors shall then
approve (the “Trust Agreement”). If the Board of Directors so directs, the Company shall enter into the Trust Agreement
and shall issue to the trust created by such agreement (the “Trust”) all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to the exchange, and all Persons entitled to receive shares pursuant to the exchange shall be entitled to receive such shares (and any
dividends or distributions made thereon after the date on which such shares are deposited in the Trust) only from the Trust and solely
upon compliance with the relevant terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall
not be empowered to effect such exchange at any time after any Person (other than an Exempt Person), together with all Affiliates and
Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Common Shares then outstanding. From and
after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 13(a) hereof, any Rights that theretofore have not been exchanged pursuant
to this Section 27(a) shall thereafter be exercisable only in accordance with Section 13 and may not be exchanged pursuant to
this Section 27(a).
(b) Immediately upon the
action of the Board of Directors ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to Section 27(a) and without any further action and
without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be
to receive that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.
The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange (and the Rights Agent shall be given prompt notice of any such exchange);
provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such exchange.
The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear
upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or
not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of the shares of Common Stock
for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange
shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights which have become null and void pursuant to the provisions
of Section 7(f) hereof) held by each holder of Rights.
34
(c) In the event that there
shall not be sufficient shares of Common Stock issued but not outstanding or authorized but unissued to permit any exchange of Rights
as contemplated in accordance with this Section 27, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize and reserve
for issuance such number of additional shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required to be issued upon the exchange of the
Rights and, if necessary, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval thereof.
(d) The Company shall not
be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of such
fractional shares, the Company shall pay to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional shares
of Common Stock would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole share
of Common Stock. For the purposes of this Section 27(d), the current market value of a whole share of Common Stock shall be the closing
price of a share of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this Section 27.
Section 28. Successors. All of the
covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Rights Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit
of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.
Section 29. Benefits
of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Rights Agent and the holders of
record of the Right Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the holders of Common Stock in their capacity as holders of the
Rights). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered
holders of the Right Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the holders of Common Stock in their capacity as holders of the
Rights) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
Section 30. Governing
Law. This Agreement and each Right Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State
of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of such state applicable
to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such state. The Company and each holder of Rights hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
The Company and each holder of Rights acknowledge that the forum designated by this Section 30 has a reasonable relation to this Agreement
and to such Persons’ relationship with one another. The Company and each holder of Rights hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, any objection which they now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in this Section 30. The Company and each holder of Rights undertake not to commence
any action subject to this Agreement in any forum other than the forum described in this Section 30. The Company and each holder of Rights
agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final and non-appealable judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such Persons.
35
Section 31. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original,
and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signature to this Agreement transmitted electronically
shall have the same authority, effect and enforceability as a manually signed original signature.
Section 32. Descriptive
Headings. Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
Section 33. Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement or the Rights is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other
authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement and
the Rights shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, however,
that if such excluded provision shall affect the rights, immunities, liabilities, duties or obligations of the Rights Agent, the Rights
Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately upon written notice to the Company.
Section 34. Determinations
and Actions by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power and authority to administer, interpret
and apply this Agreement and to exercise the rights and powers specifically granted to the Board of Directors or to the Company by this
Agreement or by law and may take such action as may be necessary or advisable in the administration of this Agreement or to amend or supplement
this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, the right and power (a) to make all determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement, (b) to decide to redeem the Rights, and (c) to decide to amend
or supplement this Agreement. Without limiting any of the rights and immunities of the Rights Agent, all such actions, calculations, interpretations
and determinations (including any decision not to take any action) done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the Company, the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights, as such, and all other Persons. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Rights Agent is entitled always to assume that the Board of Directors acted in good faith and shall
be fully protected and incur no liability in reliance thereon.
Section 35. Force Majeure.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Rights Agent will not have any liability for not performing, or a delay
in the performance of, any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by reason of any occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Rights
Agent (including, without limitation, any act or provision or any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act
of God, epidemics, pandemics, war, civil or military disobedience or disorder, riot, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, fire, earthquake,

Exhibit A
Summary of Rights
[See attached]
AS PROVIDED IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT,
RIGHTS ISSUED TO OR BENEFICIALLY OWNED
BY ACQUIRING PERSONS OR THEIR AFFILIATES OR
ASSOCIATES (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE
RIGHTS AGREEMENT) AND, IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF SUCH RIGHTS SHALL
BE NULL AND VOID AND MAY NOT BE EXERCISED OR
TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON.
SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
GREENLAND MINES LTD.
On July 21, 2026, the
board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Greenland Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) declared
a dividend of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding Common Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company
(the “Common Shares”). The dividend is payable on August 7, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business
on that date (the “Record Date”). Each Right, once exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase from the
Company one (1) Common Share at a price of $0.75 subject to certain adjustments (the “Exercise Price”).
The description and terms of the Rights are set
forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2026, (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”),
by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”).
For those interested in a summary of the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Company provides the following description. Please note, however,
that this description is only a summary, and is not complete, and should be read together with the entire Rights Agreement and the exhibits
thereto, which has been filed as an exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission
on July 22, 2026. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company upon request.
Distribution and Exercise of Rights; Distribution Date and Expiration
Date
Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Rights Agreement, the Rights will be issued in respect of all Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date, and in respect
of all Common Shares issued after the Record Date and prior to the earliest to occur of the Distribution Date (as defined below) and the
Expiration Date (as defined below). In addition, following the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may issue
Rights in respect of any Common Shares issued or sold pursuant to any of the following, to the extent already existing or outstanding
prior to the Distribution Date: the exercise of stock options, under any employee plan or arrangement, upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of securities, notes or debentures issued by the Company or pursuant to contractual obligations of the Company.
A-1
The Rights are not exercisable
until the Distribution Date and will expire upon the close of business on the earliest to occur of: (i) July 22, 2027, (ii) the date
on which the rights are redeemed or exchanged by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Rights Agreement or (iii) the date
of the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders if requisite stockholder approval of the Rights Agreement is not obtained at
such meeting (such date, the “Expiration Date”).
Subject to certain exceptions
specified in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the Common Shares and become exercisable upon the close of business on
the day (the “Distribution Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) business day following
a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Rights
Agreement) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (an “Acquiring Person”)
and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Board of Directors prior to such time as any
person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of the commencement of, or the first public
announcement of the intention to commence, by any person (other than an Exempt Person, as defined in the Rights Agreement) a tender or
exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in such person or group of affiliated or associated persons becoming an Acquiring
Person. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership under the Rights Agreement, certain synthetic interests in securities created
by derivative positions are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of Common Shares equivalent to the economic exposure created
by the derivative security.
Transfer of Rights prior to the Distribution Date; Right Certificates
Prior to the Distribution
Date, the Rights will not be represented by a separate certificate, and will be evidenced by the certificate or book-entry account, as
applicable, representing record ownership of the associated Common Shares. Until the earlier of the Distribution Date and the Expiration
Date, any new Common Share certificates (the “Share Certificates”) issued after the Record Date will, in each case,
contain a legend incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Notice of such legend will also be provided to holders of any new uncertificated
Common Shares.
The Rights Agreement provides
that, prior to the Distribution Date (or the earlier occurrence of the Expiration Date), the Rights will be transferrable only together
with the transfer of the Common Shares. During such period, the surrender for transfer of any Share Certificates applicable (or the effectuation
of a book-entry transfer of Common Shares) will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Shares represented
thereby.
As soon as practicable following
the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be mailed to holders
of record of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and such separate certificates alone will evidence
the Rights from and after the Distribution Date. The Company and the Rights Agent may from time to time amend the Rights Agreement to
provide for uncertificated Rights in addition to or in place of Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates.
A-2
Common Shares Purchasable Upon Exercise of
Rights
After the Distribution Date,
each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof, whose
Rights will have become null and void) will entitle the holder to purchase, upon payment of the Exercise Price, one (1) Common Share
(subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments set forth in the Rights Agreement and described below).
Anti-Dilution
The Exercise Price, the number
of outstanding Rights and the number of Common Shares, issuable upon exercise of the Rights are subject to certain adjustments from time
to time to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend on, stock split affecting or a subdivision or combination of, or a reclassification
of, the Common Shares, or if a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Exercise Price
will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment, upward or downward, of at least 1% in such Exercise Price.
Consequences of a Person or Group Becoming
an Acquiring Person
Flip-In Trigger. In
the event that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person
and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof, whose Rights will have become null and void), will thereafter entitle the
holder to purchase (in lieu of acquiring one (1) Common Share), upon payment of the Exercise Price, a number of Common Shares having a
fair market value (determined pursuant to the Rights Agreement) equal to approximately two (2) times the Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms of the Rights Agreement.
Flip-Over Trigger. In
the event that, after the time that a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination (in which any Common Shares are changed into or exchanged for other securities or assets) or more than fifty percent (50%)
of the consolidated assets or earning power of the Company and its subsidiaries are sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of record of a Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person and certain affiliates, associates and transferees thereof,
whose Rights will have become null and void) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of the Right, that number of shares
of common stock of the Principal Party (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) having a fair market value at the time of such
transaction determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement equal to approximately two (2) times the Exercise Price.
A-3
Exchange of Rights.
At any time after any person
or group becomes an Acquiring Person (but prior to the acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
Common Shares), the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which will have become
null and void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one (1) Common Share for each Right (subject to adjustment to reflect
any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date of the Rights Agreement) in accordance with the Rights
Agreement.
Redemption of Rights
The Rights are redeemable
by the Board of Directors (in its sole discretion) at any time prior to a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. The Board of Directors
may redeem all outstanding Rights, at a redemption price of $0.0001 per Right, subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions,
splits, combinations or consolidations with respect to the Common Shares (the “Redemption Price”) payable, at the option
of the Company, in cash, Common Shares. The right to exercise the Rights will terminate immediately upon the effective time of the redemption,
and thereafter the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
No Rights of Holders as a Stockholder
Until a Right is exercised,
the holder, in their capacity as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to
vote or to receive dividends or to be deemed (or have the rights of a) holder of Common Shares or other securities that may at any time
be issuable upon exercise thereof.
Amendments
For as long as the Rights
are then redeemable, the Company may amend the Rights Agreement in any manner without the approval of any holders of the Rights. After
the Rights are no longer redeemable, the Company may amend the Rights Agreement (other than the Redemption Price or in a manner that would
cause the Rights to again become redeemable) without the approval of any holders of the Rights so long as amendment does not materially
adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or any other person in whose hands Rights have
become null and void in accordance with the Rights Agreement).

Exhibit 99.1
Greenland Mines Announces Limited-Duration Stockholder
Rights Plan Intended to Protect Shareholder Value
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 22, 2026 – via IBN – Greenland
Mines Ltd (“Greenland Mines” or the “Company”) announces that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption
of a limited-duration stockholder rights plan, effective July 22, 2026, to protect the interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The Board adopted the rights plan to ensure that all stockholders receive
full and fair value in connection with any proposal to acquire the Company or any effort to obtain control of the Company. The rights
plan is intended to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics, including the accumulation of a control or
blocking position through open-market purchases or derivative positions without payment of an appropriate control premium, and to provide
the board with time to make informed decisions in the best interests of the company and its stockholders. The rights plan is effective
immediately and will expire in one year.
The rights plan leaves open all paths to create stockholder value
Dr. Joseph Sinkule, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The Board is committed to acting in the best interests of all Greenland Mines stockholders. The rights plan safeguards stockholders’
ability to receive appropriate value for their investment and ensures that the Board has adequate time to evaluate any proposal or accumulation
of shares in a thoughtful and orderly manner. It does not prevent the Board from considering or accepting an offer that the board determines
is fair and in the best interests of stockholders.”
About the rights plan
Pursuant to the rights plan, the company will issue, by means of a
dividend, one right for each outstanding common share of the company to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7,
2026. Initially, the rights will not be exercisable and will trade with, and be represented by, the company’s common shares.
The rights plan is effective immediately and has a one-year duration,
expiring on July 22, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the board, or earlier terminated if stockholder approval of the rights
plan has not been obtained at the company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.
Under the rights plan, the rights generally become exercisable only
if a person or group (each, an “acquiring person”) acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common
shares. In that situation, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person and its affiliates, associates and certain transferees,
whose rights will become null and void and will not be exercisable) will be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price of
$0.75 per right, additional common shares of the company having a market value of approximately two times the exercise price — effectively
a 50% discount to the then-current market price. In addition, if the company is acquired in a merger or other business combination, or
more than 50% of its consolidated assets or earning power is sold, after a person or group becomes an acquiring person, each holder of
a right will be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a market
value of approximately two times the exercise price.
For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership under the rights plan,
certain synthetic interests created by derivative positions are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of common shares equivalent
to the economic exposure created by the derivative security, whether such shares would be deemed beneficially owned under federal securities
laws.
The Board may, at its option, exchange each right (other than rights
owned by an acquiring person that have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one common share per outstanding right,
subject to adjustment. The board may also redeem the rights at $0.0001 per right at any time prior to a person or group becoming an acquiring
person.
If a person or group beneficially owned 15% or more of the outstanding
common shares prior to the company’s announcement of the adoption of the rights plan, that person’s or group’s existing ownership position
is grandfathered, although, with certain exceptions, the rights will become exercisable if at any time after the announcement such person
or group increases its ownership of common shares by 0.20% or more of the outstanding common shares.
The rights plan is similar to plans adopted by numerous other publicly
traded companies. The adoption of the rights plan is not intended to prevent, and will not prevent, any offer or acquisition proposal
that the board determines to be fair, advisable and in the best interests of the company’s stockholders.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
can be identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “estimate,”
“could,” “should,” “outlook,” “guidance,” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking
statements in this press release include, among others, statements regarding the intended effects, duration and operation of the rights
plan. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance and are based only on management’s
current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks,
uncertainties and changes in circumstance that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the company’s control, and actual
results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially include, among others, the factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as
of the date on which it is made, and the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
