On August 12, 2016, including the additional Shares, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,852,477 Shares.

The issuance of Shares in connection with the agreements will be made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, on the basis that the exchanges constitute exchanges with existing holders of the Company’s securities and no commission or other remuneration was or will be paid or given directly or indirectly to any party for soliciting such exchange.
