Schlosser from his position as a member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and Peter Ma as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, respectively. Neither Mr. Schlosser’s nor Mr. Ma’s resignation was the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Horowitz and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there are no related party transactions involving Mr. Horowitz that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
