          On August 21, 2003, Cadiz Inc. (the "Company") held a
  special stockholders meeting regarding a proposal to approve an
  amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to effect
  a reverse stock split of not less than 1 for 10 shares and not
  more than 1 for 50 shares, and to authorize the Board of
  Directors to determine which, if any, of these reverse stock

  Directors the discretion to determine whether and when to conduct
  a reverse stock split and the ability to choose a ratio within
  the range authorized to best suit the Company's needs.
