The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of KLXE’s outstanding common stock from approximately 24.9 million to approximately 5.0 million, prior to closing of the merger. The reverse stock split will not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of preferred stock of KLXE.The reverse stock split will affect all holders of common stock uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in KLXE, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share.
