REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

The Board has approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten, subject to the Board’s discretion to determine, without any further action by stockholders, not to proceed with a reverse stock split if it determines that a reverse stock split is no longer in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Bison has approved the Reverse Stock Split by signing the Written Consent. A copy of the Written Consent is attached as Appendix A to this Information Statement, and the language of the new Section 4.1 of the Certificate of Incorporation which would be contained in an amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”) is set forth in Exhibit A to the Written Consent. Bison’s ownership of Company securities is set forth under the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

In accordance with the Written Consent, the Board has the authority, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion and without further action on the part of the stockholders, to select one of the approved reverse stock split ratios and effect the approved reverse stock split by filing the Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at any time after the approval of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment; provided, however, that if the Reverse Stock Split Amendment has not been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware by the close of business on December 31, 2019, the Board will abandon the Reverse Stock Split Amendment. If the reverse stock split is implemented, the Reverse Stock Split Amendment also would reduce the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock as set forth below but would not change the par value of a share of our Common Stock. Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the reverse stock split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split.

The Board reserves its right to elect to abandon the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment

The purpose of the reverse stock split is to increase the per share trading value of the Common Stock. The Board intends to effect the proposed reverse stock split only if it believes that a decrease in the number of shares outstanding is likely to improve the trading price for the Common Stock, and only if the implementation of a reverse stock split is determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board may exercise its discretion not to implement a reverse stock split.

A reverse stock split would allow a broader range of institutions to invest in the Common Stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stocks with a price below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the trading volume and liquidity of the Common Stock. A reverse stock split would also help increase analyst and broker interest in the Common Stock, as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with lower stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with lower-priced stock, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have adopted internal policies and practices that either prohibit or discourage them from investing in such stocks or recommending them to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may also function to make the processing of trades in lower-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers.

Impact of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment if Implemented

If approved and effected, the reverse stock split will be realized simultaneously and in the same ratio for all of the Common Stock. The reverse stock split will affect all holders of the Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest, or voting power, in the Company (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). As described below, holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. These cash payments will reduce the number of post-reverse stock split holders of the Common Stock to the extent there are at the time the reverse stock split is effected, stockholders who would otherwise receive less than one share of Common Stock after the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).

The principal effects of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment will be that:

	•	depending on the ratio for the reverse stock split selected by the Board, each two or ten shares of Common Stock owned by a stockholder, or any whole number of shares of Common Stock between two and ten, as determined by the Board, will be combined into one new share of Common Stock;

	•	the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from approximately 35,000,000 to a range of approximately 17,500,000 to 3,500,000, depending upon the reverse stock split ratio selected by the Board;

	•	the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be reduced from 60,000,000 to a range of approximately 30,000,000 to 6,000,000 depending upon the reverse stock split ratio chosen by the Board;

	•	based upon the reverse stock split ratio selected by the Board, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders thereof to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of Common Stock, which will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid for such options and restricted stock awards and units upon exercise immediately preceding the reverse stock split; and

	•	the number of shares reserved for issuance or pursuant to the securities or plans described in the immediately preceding bullet will be reduced proportionately based upon the reverse stock split ratio selected by the Board.

The table below illustrates the effect, as of December 17, 2018, of a reverse stock split at certain ratios on (i) the shares of Common Stock outstanding; (ii) the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance, (iii) the reduced number of total authorized shares of Common Stock under our Certificate of Incorporation, and (iv) the resulting number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance:

	Shares Outstanding		Shares Reserved for Issuance		Total Authorized Shares		Shares Authorized and Available (% of total authorized)
Prior to Reverse Stock Split		35,516,737		7,913,143		60,000,000		16,570,120 (27.6%)
One-for-two		17,758,369		3,956,572		30,000,000		8,285,059 (27.6%)
One-for-five		7,103,348		1,582,629		12,000,000		3,314,023 (27.6%)
One-for-ten		3,551,674		791,315		6,000,000		1,657,011 (27.6%)

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

	•	If the reverse stock split is effected and the market price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. The market price of the Common Stock will, however, also be based on performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.

	•	There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in any particular price for the Common Stock. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

	•	There can be no assurance that the market price per share of the Common Stock after a reverse stock split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. For example, based on the closing price of the Common Stock on December 17, 2018 of $0.73 per share, if the reverse stock split were implemented and approved for a reverse stock split ratio of one-for-five, there can be no assurance that the post-split market price of the Common Stock would be $3.65 or greater. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of the Common Stock after the reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split. Moreover, in the future, the market price of the Common Stock following the reverse stock split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the reverse stock split.

	•	Because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease as result of the reverse stock split, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may increase on a relative basis. If the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock, then the ownership interest of the Company’s current stockholders would be diluted, possibly substantially.

	•	There are certain agreements, plans and proposals that may have material anti-takeover consequences. The proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect. For example, the issuance of a large block of Common Stock could dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company. One of our stockholders, Bison, has the ability to acquire approximately 4% of the Common Stock (assuming the shares outstanding as of the date of this Information Statement) upon the exercise of warrants, which may deter others from acquiring large amounts of Company securities.

	•	The reverse stock split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

The Board intends to effect the reverse stock split only if it believes that a decrease in the number of shares is likely to improve the trading price of the Common Stock and if the implementation of the reverse stock split is determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Effective Time

The proposed reverse stock split would become effective as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”), on the date of filing the Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, at the Effective Time, all shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined, automatically and without any action on the part of stockholders, into a lesser number of shares of the Common Stock calculated in accordance with the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board.

After the Effective Time, the Common Stock will have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures (“CUSIP”) number, which is a number used to identify the Company’s equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below.

After the Effective Time, the Company will continue to be subject to periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The Common Stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CIDM”, although Nasdaq will add the letter “D” to the end of the trading symbol for a period of 20 trading days after the Effective Date to indicate that the reverse stock split has occurred.

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split Amendment

If the reverse stock split is approved by the Company’s stockholders, it will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that a reverse stock split (at a ratio determined by the Board as described above) is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders. The Board’s determination as to whether the reverse stock split will be effected and, if so, at what ratio, will be based upon certain factors, including existing and expected marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions and the likely effect on the market price of the Common Stock. If the Board determines to effect the reverse stock split, the Board will consider various factors in selecting the ratio including the overall market conditions at the time and the recent trading history of the Common Stock.

Fractional Shares

Stockholders will not receive fractional post-reverse stock split shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, the Company’s transfer agent for the registered stockholders will aggregate all fractional shares of Common Stock and arrange for them to be sold as soon as practicable after the Effective Time at the then prevailing prices on the open market on behalf of those stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share. The Company expects that the transfer agent will cause the sale to be conducted in an orderly fashion at a reasonable pace and that it may take several days to sell all of the aggregated fractional shares of Common Stock. After completing the sale, stockholders will receive a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to the stockholder’s pro rata share of the total net proceeds of these sales. No transaction costs will be assessed on the sale. However, the proceeds will be subject to certain taxes as discussed below. In addition, stockholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Effective Time and the date a stockholder receives payment for the cashed-out shares. The payment amount will be paid to the stockholder in the form of a check in accordance with the procedures outlined below.

After the reverse stock split, stockholders will have no further interests in the Company with respect to their cashed-out fractional shares. A person otherwise entitled to a fractional interest will not have any voting, dividend or other rights except to receive payment as described above.

Effect on Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e. stockholders who hold in “street name”)

Upon the reverse stock split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders in “street name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding the Common Stock in “street name”. However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the reverse stock split and making payment for fractional shares. If a stockholder holds shares of the Common Stock with a bank, broker or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee.

Effect on Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e. stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates)

Certain of the Company’s registered holders of Common Stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.

If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with the transfer agent, no action needs to be taken to receive post-reverse stock split shares or cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable. If a stockholder is entitled to post-reverse stock split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of Common Stock held following the reserve stock split.

If a stockholder is entitled to a payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, a check will be mailed to the stockholder’s registered address as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. By signing and cashing the check, stockholders will warrant that they owned the shares of Common Stock for which they received a cash payment. The cash payment is subject to applicable federal and state income tax and state abandoned property laws. In addition, stockholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Effective Time of the reverse stock split and the date payment is received.

Effect on Certificated Shares

Stockholders holding shares of Common Stock in certificate form will be sent a transmittal letter by the transfer agent after the Effective Time. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a stockholder should surrender his or her certificate(s) representing shares of the Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split Common Stock (“New Certificates”). No New Certificate will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all Old Certificates, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the transfer agent. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange his, her or its Old Certificates.

Stockholders will then receive a New Certificate(s) representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock to which they are entitled as a result of the reverse stock split. Until surrendered, the Company will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by stockholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split Common Stock, as applicable, to which these stockholders are entitled.

Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for new certificates. If an Old Certificate has a restrictive legend on its back, the New Certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legends that are on the back of the Old Certificate.

If a stockholder is entitled to a payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, such payment will be made as described above under “Fractional Shares”.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Accounting Matters

The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of a share of the Common Stock. As a result, as of the Effective Time of the reverse stock split, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock on the Company’s balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the reverse stock split ratio (including a retroactive adjustment of prior periods), and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the reverse stock split, and the Company will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split to holders of the Common Stock. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and other applicable authorities, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). This discussion is limited to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold their shares of Common Stock as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, assets held for investment). This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular stockholder or to stockholders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

	•	stockholders that are not U.S. holders;
	•	financial institutions;
	•	insurance companies;
	•	tax-exempt organizations;
	•	dealers in securities or foreign currencies;
	•	persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

	•	traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting;
	•	persons who own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding stock;
	•	persons that hold the Common Stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated transaction; and
	•	U.S. holders who acquired their shares of Common Stock through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation.

If a partnership or other entity taxed as a partnership holds Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partners and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships and partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences of the reverse stock split to them.

This discussion does not address the tax consequences of the reverse stock split under state, local or foreign tax laws. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.

Holders of the Common Stock are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the reverse stock split in their particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax and any state, local or foreign and other tax laws and of changes in those laws.

For purposes of this section, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of the Common Stock that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

	•	an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States;
	•	a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State or the District of Columbia;
	•	an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source; or
	•	a trust, the substantial decisions of which are controlled by one or more U.S. persons and which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court, or a trust that validly has elected under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split Generally

Except as provided below with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares, a U.S. holder will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the reverse stock split.

Cash Received in Lieu of Fractional Shares

A U.S. holder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock in the reverse stock split will generally be treated as having received such fractional share and then as having sold such fractional share for cash, and will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the basis of the pre-reverse stock split Common Stock allocable to such fractional interest. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in the Common Stock exchanged therefor was greater than one year as of the date of the exchange. Under certain circumstances, the cash might instead be treated as a return of capital or, if the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits, a dividend.

Tax Basis and Holding Period

A U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock received in the reverse stock split will equal such stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock surrendered in the reverse stock split reduced by any amount allocable to a fractional share of post-reverse stock split Common Stock for which cash is received. The holding period for the shares of the Common Stock received in the reverse stock split generally will include the holding period for the shares of the Common Stock exchanged therefor.

The Company does not have any plans, proposals or arrangements to issue for any purpose, including future acquisitions and/or financings, any of the authorized shares of Common Stock that would become newly available for issuance following the reverse stock split.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

Some banks, brokers and other record holders have begun the practice of “householding” notices, proxy statements and annual reports. “Householding” is the term used to describe the practice of delivering a single set of notices, proxy statements and annual reports to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if a company reasonably believes the stockholders are members of the same family. This procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and also reduces a company’s printing and mailing costs. The Company will promptly deliver an additional copy of any such document to any stockholder who writes or calls the Company. Alternatively, if you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our notices, proxy statements and annual reports, you may contact us to request delivery of a single copy of these materials. Any such written request should be directed to Investor Relations at 45 West 36th Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10018 or (212) 206-8600.

This Information Statement is provided to the holders of Common Stock of the Company only for information purposes in connection with the Actions, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. Please carefully read this Information Statement.
