Every twenty shares of the Company's common stock underlying outstanding warrants will also be automatically combined and reclassified into one issued and outstanding share of common stock.

At the market open on July 31, 2020, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ACHV," but will be assigned a new CUSIP number (004468500) and will trade on a split-adjusted basis.
