Because the proposed offering will not occur, the Company believes that the withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and protection of investors as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 under the Securities Act.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">No shares of the Company Common Stock have been or will be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.
