Shareholder Alert<BR>
Voluntary submission by John Chevedden, POB 2673 , Redondo Beach, CA 90278.<BR>
Shareholder since 2012.<BR>
<BR>
Please vote for Proposal No. 4 before September 10th<BR>
Stockholder Proposal for Stockholder Action by Written Consent<BR>
The annual meeting proxy is misleading or incomplete.<BR>
<BR>
The September 10, 2020 annual meeting proxy failed to mention that all shares held for less than one-year are disqualified in
regard to shareholders calling for a special meeting.<BR>
<BR>
Due to the one-year disqualification clause the current stock ownership threshold of 25% to call a special meeting can mean that
more than 40% of shareholders must be contacted during a short window of time to simply call a special meeting. The shareholders
who own 25% of stock held for one continuous year could discover that they actually own 40% of the company when their shares held
for less than one-year are counted.<BR>
<BR>
The management statement next to Proposal 4 also fails to mention whether the shareholders giving feedback to management were
aware of this one-year exclusion. Thus the shareholder feedback cited by management could be tainted. To make matters worse management
did a special solicitation at shareholder expense against Proposal 4. This is like management putting its hand on the scale.<BR>
<BR>
It is all the more important to gain the right for shareholders to act by written consent due to the demise of the in-person annual
meeting. Shareholders have lost the ability to see if our CEO can think on his feet and answer questions that are not pre-screened.
Plus there is no way to see if the directors listened to the whole meeting or just the first 3-minutes.<BR>
<BR>
Please vote for Proposal No. 4 before September 10th<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Written materials are submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-6(g)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.*&nbsp;<BR>
<BR>
*Submission is not required of this filer under the terms of the Rule, but is made voluntarily in the interest of public disclosure
and consideration of these important issues.<BR>
<BR>
This is not a solicitation of authority to vote your proxy.&nbsp; Please DO NOT send me your proxy card; the shareholder is not
able to vote your proxies, nor does this communication contemplate such an event.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
<BR>
The shareholder asks all shareholders to vote their choices by following the procedural instructions provided in the proxy materials.&nbsp;<BR></P>
