What happens if the merger is not consummated?
If the merger agreement is not approved by our stockholders or if the merger is not consummated for any other reason, you will not receive any payment for your shares in connection with the merger. Instead, we will remain an independent public company and our common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, if the merger is not consummated, we expect that, except as otherwise noted in this proxy statement, management will operate our business in a manner similar to the manner in which it currently is being operated and that our stockholders will continue to be subject to the same risks and opportunities as they currently are.
