the completion of the initial offering period. As described in the Schedule 13D,
as amended (the "13D/A"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on

meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, with regard to their respective interests in equity securities of
the Issuer. The amount of the Issuer's securities held by Sigma Capital
