The Company has no specific acquisition targets at the current time.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. is acting as the sole managing underwriter of the offering.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the common stock; nor shall there be any offer or sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
