| REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND COMMON EQUITY OFFERINGS | REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND COMMON EQUITY OFFERINGS Reverse Stock Split
On April 4, 2024, we completed a 1-for-2 Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, by the filing of Articles of Amendment with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time on April 4, 2024. The Reverse Stock Split was effective for purposes of trading as of the opening of business on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on April 5, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every two shares of common stock issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one new share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of common stock. The common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split remains fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value of the common stock.
