As an American company, we are benefiting from the government&#8217;s support. One of the matters on which we are asking you to vote is to increase the number of authorized common shares. As we seek to raise non-dilutive capital through government grants, we will need to show the government that we have matching funding available for future programs. We intend to raise capital over time through sale of equity securities, and we need to add more common shares in order to raise that capital.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:center;"><strong>The Board of Directors Urges You to Vote &#8220;FOR&#8221; all Proposals</strong></p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that they be represented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
