This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company. Any such offering, if and when made, will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements of such act.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors
