<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December&nbsp;7, 2016, the Reporting Person may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 12,536,291 shares of Common Stock, which
consisted of (i) 3,798,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person, (ii) 8,464,705 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a convertible note held by the Reporting Person (&#147;<B>Note</B> <B>1</B>&#148;) and (iii) 273,586
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a second convertible note held by the Reporting Person (&#147;<B>Note</B> <B>2</B>&#148;), and all such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represented beneficial ownership of approximately 9.5%
of the Common Stock, based on (1) 99,930,402 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November&nbsp;1, 2016, as reported in the Issuer&#146;s Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarterly period ended
September&nbsp;30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November&nbsp;9, 2016, plus (2) 23,846,735 shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer in the exchange transaction described in the Current Report on Form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December&nbsp;7, 2016, (3) 8,464,705 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Note 1 and (4) 273,586 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of Note 2. The foregoing excludes 4,931,119 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Note 2 because Note 2 is subject to a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to convert Note 2 to the
extent that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with any persons whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would be aggregated with such holder&#146;s for purposes of Section 13(d) or
Section&nbsp;16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock. The application of such blocker provision and the shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as a
result thereof take into account the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the investment advisor of the Reporting Person (with whom the Reporting Person shares voting and dispositive power) which is being reported separately. Without such
blocker provision, the Reporting Person may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 17,467,410 shares of Common Stock. </P>
