    currently outstanding shares of Common Stock sought in the Offer, the

    options and 1,155,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of

    Preferred Stock tender offer price, multiplied by 110,000, the total number
    of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, and subtracting $30,363,754.00,
