If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">no</div> amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount.

In determining that the Share Increase Amendment was approved by the required vote, votes cast by brokers, banks or other nominees without instruction from the beneficial owners of certain of our outstanding shares were counted in favor of the proposal in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that govern how brokers <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> may </div>cast such votes. Because a disclosure in the definitive proxy statement for the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Annual Meeting, which was filed on Schedule <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">14A</div> with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> November 27, 2017 (</div><div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Proxy Statement), anticipated that brokers would <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">not</div> have discretion to vote for the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment, a question has been raised as to the validity of the vote taken on the proposal to approve the Share Increase Amendment. The Company believes that the Share Increase Amendment was properly approved and is effective. However, because the description of the authority of brokers to vote on proposals without instruction in the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Proxy Statement <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"> may </div>create some uncertainty as to the effect of the vote obtained at the <div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;">2018</div> Annual Meeting and out of an abundance of caution, the Company intends to ask its stockholders at either a special meeting or the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to ratify the filing and effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment pursuant to Delaware law in order to eliminate any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of the Share Increase Amendment.
