After the Reverse/Forward Stock Split is effective, it is anticipated that the Company will file a Form 15 with the SEC to voluntarily deregister its Common Stock and suspend its obligations to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. After deregistering with the SEC, the Company will no longer be quoted on the OTCBB but will continue to be quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol HLDI.
