Earlier in 2011, Genta Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), submitted a request to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to process documentation related to a reverse stock split pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Reverse Split”). After continual correspondence between the Company and FINRA, on January 23, 2012, the Company received notice of FINRA’s final denial of the Company’s request to process the documentation related to the Reverse Split. The Company is currently evaluating its alternatives in connection with the proposed Reverse Split.
