<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">On June 16, 2016, the Company announced that Susie Hultquist informed the Company that she had chosen not to stand for election as a director of the Company at the Annual Meeting in order to focus on other business opportunities. As a result, on June 16, 2016, the Company filed a Supplement to its Proxy Statement that removed all references to Susie Hultquist as a director nominee. The persons named as proxies on the proxy card voted in the manner indicated on the submitted proxy card only with respect to the remaining seven director nominees unanimously recommended by the Board: (1) Ludmila Smolyansky; (2) Julie Smolyansky; (3) Pol Sikar; (4) Renzo Bernardi; (5) Paul Lee; (6) Jason Scher; and (7) Mariano Lozano. There was no solicitation of proxies in opposition to management's nominees as listed in the proxy statement and all of management's nominees were elected to the Board.&#160; Immediately following the Annual Meeting, the Board determined to reduce the number of members of the Board from 8 to 7 to eliminate the vacancy created when Ms. Hultquist withdrew her name from the slate of nominees for director.</div>
