approved to change the Company&rsquo;s domicile from the State of South Carolina to the State of Florida (the &ldquo;Re-domiciliation&rdquo;)
pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &ldquo;Domicile Merger Agreement&rdquo;). We will effect the Re-domiciliation
by forming a new, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company under the laws of the State of Florida (&ldquo;SouthState-FL&rdquo;) and then
merging the Company with and into SouthState-FL, with SouthState-FL surviving the merger (the &ldquo;Domicile Merger&rdquo;) as provided
in the South Carolina Business Corporation Act and the Florida Business Corporation Act, pursuant to the terms of the Domicile Merger
Agreement. Approval of the Domicile Merger also constituted approval of the Domicile Merger Agreement. The Re-domiciliation will not result
in a material change in our business, management, assets, liabilities, or net worth. The Domicile Merger will become effective upon the
filing of the requisite merger documents in South Carolina and Florida, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2025. Our Board
of Directors, however, may determine to abandon the Domicile Merger even after approval by our shareholders.</P>

and future senior indebtedness.</I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Notes will be subordinated obligations of
SouthState. Accordingly, they will be junior in right of payment to any existing and all future senior indebtedness, and in certain events
of insolvency, to other financial obligations as described under &ldquo;Description of the Notes.&rdquo; Our senior indebtedness includes
all indebtedness, except indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to or ranked <I>pari passu</I> with the Notes, subject to certain
exceptions. The Notes will rank equally with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness of SouthState issued in the future under the
Indenture. In addition, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations,
including deposits, of our subsidiaries, including the Bank. As of March&nbsp;31, 2025, on a consolidated basis, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of our borrowings totaled approximately $755.9 million, none of which would rank senior to the Notes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition, the Notes will not be secured by
any of our assets. As a result, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value
of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Indenture governing the Notes does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness and other
financial obligations or secured obligations that we or our subsidiaries may incur.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">As a result of the subordination provisions described
above, holders of the Notes may not be fully repaid in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Notes are not savings accounts, deposits or
other obligations of the Bank or any of our non-bank subsidiaries and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental
agency or public or private insurer. The Notes are obligations of SouthState only and are neither obligations of, nor guaranteed by, any
of our subsidiaries. The Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our
subsidiaries, which means that creditors of our subsidiaries (including, in the case of the Bank, its depositors) generally will be paid
from those subsidiaries&rsquo; assets before holders of the Notes would have any claims to those assets. Even if we become a creditor
of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of that subsidiary and
any debt of that subsidiary senior to that held by us, and our rights could otherwise be subordinated to the rights of other creditors
and depositors of that subsidiary. Furthermore, none of our subsidiaries is under any obligation to make payments to us, and any payments
to us would depend on the earnings or financial condition of our subsidiaries and various business considerations. Statutory, contractual
or other restrictions also limit our subsidiaries&rsquo; ability to pay dividends or make distributions, loans or advances to us. For
these reasons, we may not have access to any assets or cash flows of our subsidiaries to make interest and principal payments on the Notes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">There are limitations on the payment of dividends
by the Bank to the Company. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the &ldquo;OCC&rdquo;) has the general authority to limit the
dividends paid by the Bank if such payment may be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. The Bank may not pay dividends
from its paid-in surplus. All dividends must be paid out of undivided profits then on hand, after deducting expenses, including reserves
for losses and bad debts. In addition, a national bank, such as the Bank, is prohibited from declaring a dividend on its shares of common
stock until its surplus equals its stated capital, unless there has been transferred to surplus no less than one/tenth of the bank&rsquo;s
net profits of the preceding two consecutive half-year periods (in the case of an annual dividend). The approval of the OCC is required
if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year combined
with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. The Bank also may not pay dividends
if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it is already undercapitalized and must maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital
conservation buffer of 2.5% to avoid becoming subject to restrictions on capital distributions, including dividends. Further, contractual
or other restrictions may also limit our subsidiaries&rsquo; abilities to pay dividends or make distributions, loans or advances to us.
See the information under &ldquo;Supervision and Regulation &mdash; Dividend Restrictions&rdquo; in Item 1, &ldquo;Business,&rdquo; in
our annual report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024. For these reasons, we may not have access to any assets
or cash flow of our subsidiaries to make principal or interest payments on the Notes.</P>

and interest, or to satisfy our obligations in respect of our debt or to refinance our debt, will depend on our future performance of
our operating subsidiaries. Prevailing economic conditions (including interest rates), regulatory constraints, including, without limitation,
limiting distributions to us from the Bank and required capital levels with respect to the Bank and financial, business and other factors,
many of which are beyond our control, will also affect our ability to meet these needs. Our subsidiaries may not be able to generate sufficient
cash flows from operations, or we may be unable to obtain future borrowings in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt, or to
fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity. We may not be able to refinance
any of our debt when needed (including, without limitation, upon commencement of the floating rate period) on commercially reasonable
terms or at all.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">As a financial holding company, our ability to
pay the principal of, and interest on, the Notes is subject to the rules&nbsp;and guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital
adequacy. We intend to treat the Notes as &ldquo;Tier 2 capital&rdquo; under these rules&nbsp;and guidelines. The Federal Reserve guidelines
generally require us to review the effects of the cash payment of Tier 2 capital instruments, such as the Notes, on our overall financial
condition. The guidelines also require that we review our net income for the current and past four quarters, and the amounts we have paid
on Tier 2 capital instruments for those periods, as well as our projected rate of earnings retention. Moreover, pursuant to federal law
and Federal Reserve regulations, as a bank holding company, we are required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to
the Bank and commit resources to its support, including, without limitation, the guarantee of its capital plans if it is undercapitalized.
Such support may be required at times when we may not otherwise be inclined or able to provide it. As a result of the foregoing, we may
be unable to pay accrued interest on the Notes on one or more of the scheduled interest payment dates, or at any other time, or the principal
of the Notes at the maturity of the Notes.</P>

obligations under the Notes or the Indenture governing the Notes. Our regulators can, in the event we or the Bank become subject to an
enforcement action, prohibit the Bank from paying dividends to us, and prevent our payment of interest or principal on the Notes and any
dividends on our capital stock, but such limits will not permit acceleration of the Notes. See &ldquo;Description of the Notes &mdash;

the Notes will develop, the ability of holders of the Notes to sell their Notes or the prices at which holders may be able to sell their
Notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a secondary market in the Notes. The underwriters, however,
are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to the Notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. You should
also be aware that there may be a limited number of buyers when you decide to sell your Notes. This may affect the price you receive for
your Notes or your ability to sell your Notes at all. Investors in the Notes may not be able to sell the Notes at all or may not be able
to sell the Notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market,

of the Notes; the outstanding amount of subordinated notes with terms identical to the Notes offered hereby; the prevailing interest rates
being paid by other companies similar to us; changes in U.S. interest rates; whether the ratings on the Notes or us provided by any rating
agency have changed; our financial condition, financial performance and future prospects; the level, direction and volatility of market
interest rates generally; general economic conditions of the capital markets in the United States; and geopolitical conditions and other
financial, political, regulatory, and judicial events that affect the capital markets generally. The condition of the financial markets
and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated significantly in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Such fluctuations could

that as a result of an amendment or change (including any announced prospective amendment or change) in law, an administrative or
judicial action (including an announcement thereof) or an amendment to or change in any official position with respect to, or
interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation that differs from the previously generally accepted

(ii)&nbsp;a subsequent event occurs that, as a result of which, there is more than an insubstantial risk that we would not be
entitled to treat the Notes as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes; or (iii)&nbsp;we are required to register as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The redemption price for any redemption is 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any early
redemption of the Notes will be subject to the receipt of the approval of the Federal Reserve, to the extent then required under
applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations. Any such redemption may have the effect of reducing the income or
return that you may receive on an investment in the Notes by reducing the term of the investment. Under current regulatory capital
guidelines, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that will count as Tier 2 capital will be reduced by 20% in each of the last
five years prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes. As a result, we may be more likely to redeem the Notes prior to their Maturity
Date. If this occurs, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at an interest rate comparable to the rate paid on the Notes. See

may not redeem the Notes unless they are replaced with other Tier 2 capital instruments or unless we can demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Federal Reserve that, following redemption, we will continue to hold capital commensurate with our risk.</P>

Federal Reserve Bank of New York (&ldquo;FRBNY&rdquo;) started publishing SOFR in April&nbsp;of 2018</FONT>, and it therefore has a limited
history. While some pre-publication historical data have been released by FRBNY, such analysis inherently involves assumptions, estimates
and approximations. In addition, the future performance of SOFR is impossible to predict and therefore no future performance of SOFR or
the notes may be inferred from any of the historical simulations or historical performance. Investors should not rely on such historical
indicative data or on any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of the future performance of SOFR. Since the initial publication
of SOFR, daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or market rates, and
SOFR over time may bear little or no relation to the historical actual or historical indicative data. In addition, the return on and value

received from other sources, we have no control over its determination, calculation or publication. There is no assurance that SOFR will
not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of investors in the Notes. If the
manner in which SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a reduction in the amount of interest that accrues on the Notes
during the floating rate period, which may adversely affect the trading prices of the Notes. Further, if the base rate on the Notes during
the floating rate period on any determination date declines to zero or becomes negative, the interest rate will be deemed to equal zero.
In addition, once the base rate for the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Payment Period is determined by the calculation agent on
the determination date, interest on the Notes shall accrue at such base rate for the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Period

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In June&nbsp;2017, the Alternative Reference Rates
Committee (&ldquo;ARRC&rdquo;) convened by the Federal Reserve and FRBNY announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to London interbank
offered rate (&ldquo;LIBOR&rdquo;) for U.S. dollar obligations. However, because SOFR is a broad U.S. Treasury repo financing rate that
represents overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from LIBOR. For example, SOFR is a secured overnight rate,
while LIBOR is an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities. In addition, because SOFR is a transaction-based
rate, it is backward-looking, whereas LIBOR is forward-looking. Because of these and other differences, there is no assurance that SOFR
will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have performed at any time, and there is no guarantee that it is a comparable substitute for
LIBOR, time, including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility or global,
national or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. For example, since publication of SOFR began,
daily changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or other market rates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">SOFR may fail to maintain market acceptance. SOFR
was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR in part
because it is considered to be a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. However,
as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is
less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider
SOFR a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes for which LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation,
as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SOFR. Any failure
of SOFR to maintain market acceptance could adversely affect the return on the Notes and the price at which you can sell such Notes.</P>

applicable interest rate. Further, if the SOFR rate in respect of a particular date during a Floating Rate Interest Payment Period is

Notes will likely have no established trading market when issued, and an established trading market may never develop or may not be very
liquid. Market terms for debt securities linked to SOFR (such as the Notes) such as the applicable spread may evolve over time and, as
a result, trading prices of the Notes may be lower than those of later-issued debt securities that are linked to SOFR. Similarly, if SOFR
does not prove to be widely used in debt securities similar to the Notes, the trading price of the Notes may be lower than that of debt
securities linked to rates that are more widely used. Investors in the Notes may not be able to sell such Notes at all or may not be able
to sell such Notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market.
Further, investors wishing to sell the Notes in the secondary market during the floating rate period will have to make assumptions as

in the marketplace. Failure to achieve or delays in achieving these anticipated benefits could result in a share price reduction as well
as increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, and diversion of management&rsquo;s time and energy could materially
and adversely affect the Company&rsquo;s financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects.</P>

2025, and the systems and operational conversion was completed in late May&nbsp;2025, there is no assurance that the businesses of the
Company and Independent can be integrated successfully. The success of the Merger will depend on, among other things, the ability of the
Company and Independent to combine their businesses in a manner that facilitates growth and business opportunities and realizes cost savings.
If the combined company is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized
fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.</P>

combined in a merger, followed by a systems and operational conversion in May&nbsp;2025. The successful integration of systems and operations
depends substantially on the Company&rsquo;s ongoing ability to consolidate successfully corporate cultures, management teams, operations,
systems, processes and procedures and to eliminate redundancies and costs. While we have substantial experience in successfully integrating

processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems. In addition, the Merger may increase the Company&rsquo;s compliance
and legal risks, including increased litigation or regulatory actions such as fines or restrictions related to the business practices
or operations of the combined business, including its expanded presence in Texas and Colorado. While the Company has assumed that a certain
level of expenses would be incurred in connection with the merger and integration of Independent, many factors beyond the Company&rsquo;s
control could affect the total amount or the timing of these merger and integration expenses. Moreover, many of the expenses that the
Company will incur are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed
the expected savings from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale. The amount and timing of
future charges to earnings as a result of merger or integration expenses are uncertain.</P>

Federal Reserve reports that SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate and bilateral Treasury repurchase agreement
(repo) transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the &ldquo;FICC&rdquo;),
a subsidiary of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (&ldquo;DTCC&rdquo;), and SOFR is filtered by the New York Federal Reserve
to remove some (but not all) of the foregoing transactions considered to be &ldquo;specials.&rdquo; According to the New York Federal
Reserve, &ldquo;specials&rdquo; are repos for specific-issue collateral, which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general
collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a particular security.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">DTC has advised us that it is a limited-purpose
trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &ldquo;banking organization&rdquo; within the meaning of the New York Banking
Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &ldquo;clearing corporation&rdquo; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code and a &ldquo;clearing agency&rdquo; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities
that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among participants of sales and other securities
transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between participants&rsquo; accounts.
This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation, which, in turn, is owned by a number of direct participants of DTC. Access to the
DTC system is also available to others, referred to as indirect participants, such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a direct or indirect custodial relationship with a direct
participant. The rules&nbsp;applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.</P>

be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&rsquo;s records. The ownership interest
of each beneficial owner of securities will be recorded on the direct or indirect participants&rsquo; records. Beneficial owners will
not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations
providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through
which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction.</P>

associated with the purchase and holding of the Notes by (i)&nbsp;employee benefit plans subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which we refer to as &ldquo;ERISA&rdquo;, (ii)&nbsp;plans, individual retirement accounts and
other arrangements subject to Section&nbsp;4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the &ldquo;Code&rdquo;,
(iii)&nbsp;plans subject to any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to Title I of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975
of the Code, which we collectively refer to as &ldquo;Similar Laws&rdquo;, and (iv)&nbsp;entities whose underlying assets are considered
to include &ldquo;plan assets&rdquo; of such employee benefit plans, plans or arrangements (each of which described in (i), (ii), (iii)&nbsp;and
(iv)&nbsp;we call a &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Each fiduciary of a Plan should consider the fiduciary
standards of ERISA or any applicable Similar Laws in the context of the Plan&rsquo;s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment
in the Notes. Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification
requirements of ERISA or any applicable Similar Laws and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition, Section&nbsp;406 of ERISA and Section&nbsp;4975
of the Code prohibit Plans subject to Title I of ERISA or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code, which we call &ldquo;ERISA Plans&rdquo;, from
engaging in certain transactions involving &ldquo;plan assets&rdquo; with persons that are &ldquo;parties in interest&rdquo; under ERISA
or &ldquo;disqualified persons&rdquo; under Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code with respect to the ERISA Plans. A violation of these &ldquo;prohibited
transaction&rdquo; rules&nbsp;may result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section&nbsp;4975 of the Code for those
persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption. In addition, the fiduciary of
an ERISA Plan that engages in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or
the Code.</P>

with respect to which we, any underwriter or any of our or their affiliates is a party in interest or a disqualified person. For example,
if we are a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to an investing ERISA Plan (either directly or by reason of our ownership
of our subsidiaries), the purchase of any Notes by an ERISA Plan could result in a sale or exchange that is prohibited by Section&nbsp;406(a)(1)(A)&nbsp;of

although a non-U.S. holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form&nbsp;W-8ECI in order to claim an exemption from withholding.
Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Notes,

Provisions commonly referred to as &ldquo;FATCA&rdquo; impose withholding of 30% on payments of interest on the Notes and on payments
of gross proceeds of sales or redemptions of the Notes to &ldquo;foreign financial institutions&rdquo; (which is broadly defined for this
purpose and in general includes investment vehicles and financial intermediaries) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S.
information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with
those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies. However, proposed Treasury Regulations (the preamble to which specifies
that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization) eliminate the withholding requirement on payments of gross proceeds
of a taxable disposition (other than any amount treated as interest). Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding
the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in the Notes.</P>

Prospective purchasers of the Notes are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of the purchase,
ownership and disposition of Notes, including the tax consequences under state, local, estate, foreign and other tax laws and the possible
effects of changes in U.S. or other tax laws.</B></P>

approved to change the Company&rsquo;s domicile from the State of South Carolina to the State of Florida (the &ldquo;Re-domiciliation&rdquo;)

merging the Company with and into SouthState-FL, with SouthState-FL surviving the merger (the &ldquo;Domicile Merger&rdquo;) as provided
in the South Carolina Business Corporation Act and the Florida Business Corporation Act, pursuant to the terms of the Domicile Merger
Agreement. Approval of the Domicile Merger also constituted approval of the Domicile Merger Agreement. The Re-domiciliation will not result
in a material change in our business, management, assets, liabilities, or net worth. The Domicile Merger will become effective upon the
filing of the requisite merger documents in South Carolina and Florida, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2025. Our Board
of Directors, however, may determine to abandon the Domicile Merger even after approval by our shareholders.</P>

the securities offered if they purchase any securities. The initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or

creating a short position in these securities for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price
of these securities or of any other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, these securities or any other securities in
the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities offered under this prospectus through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting
syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing these securities in the offering, if
the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions
or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of these securities above independent market levels.
The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time, all as described in the
prospectus supplement.</P>

the business combination or the acquisition of shares is approved by a majority of the disinterested members of such corporation&rsquo;s
board of directors before the 10% shareholder&rsquo;s share acquisition date. This statute further provides that at no time (even after
the two-year period subsequent to such share acquisition date) may the 10% shareholder engage in a business combination with the relevant
corporation unless certain approvals of the board of directors or disinterested shareholders are obtained or unless the consideration
given in the combination meets certain minimum standards set forth in the statute. The law is very broad in its scope and is designed
to inhibit unfriendly acquisitions, but it does not apply to corporations whose Articles of Incorporation contain a provision electing
not to be covered by the law. Our Articles of Incorporation do not contain such an opt-out provision, though our Articles of Incorporation

generally must submit notice of such shareholder&rsquo;s proposal or director nominations not earlier than 120 days and not later than

stock ownership in the Company and certain interests and relationships&#894; (iii)&nbsp;a description of the business the shareholder
desires to bring before the meeting if the notice relates to business other than the nomination of directors&#894; and (iv)&nbsp;information
with respect to the proposed director nominees if the business relates to the nomination of directors. We may reject a shareholder proposal
that is not made in accordance with the procedures set forth in our Bylaws. These provisions could reduce the likelihood that a third

costly and unnecessary sometimes lawyer-driven litigation, where multiple lawsuits are being filed in multiple jurisdictions regarding
the same matter. By limiting the ability of third parties and our shareholders to file lawsuits relating to intracorporate disputes in
the forum of their choosing, this exclusive forum bylaw could increase the costs to a plaintiff of bringing such a lawsuit and could have
the effect of deterring such lawsuits, which could include potential takeover-related lawsuits.</P>
