its FY 2021 20-F from the Securities and Exchange Commission dated August&nbsp;10, 2022 (the &ldquo;Comment Letter&rdquo;). Due to the
number and complexity of the comments received and the fact that the Company is currently preparing for its unaudited financial results
for the second quarter and first half of 2022 (which are expected to be announced on Monday, August&nbsp;29, 2022 before the opening of
the U.S. market), the Company would like to request an extension to respond to the Comment Letter. The Company expects to provide its
responses to the Comment Letter via EDGAR as soon as possible, and no later than September&nbsp;7, 2022.</P>
