long-term value of the Company&#146;s accumulated net operating losses (&#147;NOLs&#148;). The amendment prohibits a person from becoming a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">5-percent</FONT> shareholder, as defined in Section&nbsp;382 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (&#147;Section&nbsp;382 five-percent shareholder&#148;), by acquiring, directly or by attribution, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. Existing Section&nbsp;382 five-percent
shareholders as of May&nbsp;2, 2018 will not be required to sell their shares but generally will be restricted from increasing their ownership under Section&nbsp;382 by more than one percentage point over such shareholder&#146;s percentage stock

by greater than one percent, the excess shares will be required to be transferred to an agent of the Company, and the agent will be required to sell the shares and to apply the proceeds generally as follows: first, to cover the agent&#146;s own
costs; second, to reimburse the transferee up to the price paid by the transferee for the shares; and third, if there are any remaining proceeds, to donate these proceeds to a charity. </P>
