On August 20, 2019, the Debtors filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (as subsequently modified on August 22, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court. On October 8, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered into an order confirming the Plan. On October 31, 2019 (the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy under the Chapter 11 Cases. On the Effective Date, all of the Company's previously outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01, including options, warrants, rights, restricted stock units or other securities or agreements to acquire such common stock, were canceled pursuant to the Plan. ( 2 )Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of new common stock of the Company, as reorganized pursuant to and under the Plan, par value $0.0001 per share. ( 3 )Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of new preferred stock of the Company, as reorganized pursuant to and under the Plan, par value $0.0001 per share.
