At Camber's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 9, 2018, Camber's stockholders granted authority to the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to determine whether to proceed with a reverse stock split and, if the Board of Directors so determined, to select the reverse stock ratio, in a ratio of between 1-10 and 1-50, and to file a Certificate of Amendment to Camber's Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split at the ratio determined by the Board of Directors.
When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 25 shares of Camber's issued and outstanding common stock (and such shares held in treasury) will automatically be converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share. Instead, each stockholder will have such aggregate fractional holdings rounded up to the next whole share. The reverse stock split will not impact any stockholder's percentage ownership of Camber or voting power, except for minimal effects resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. Following the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Camber's common stock will be reduced by a factor of twenty-five. The Certificate of Amendment to Camber's Certificate of Incorporation will not decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock.
Camber's shares of common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American ("NYSE") under the symbol "CEI" but will trade under a new CUSIP. The reverse stock split is intended to increase the market price per share of Camber's common stock in order to comply with the NYSE continued listing standards relating to minimum price per share. The reverse stock split will not cure Camber's noncompliance with the NYSE continued listing rules regarding minimum levels of stockholders' equity as described in prior filings.
