Directors of the Company, effective immediately.&nbsp; Mr.&nbsp;Metcalf&rsquo;s and Ms. Freeman&rsquo;s respective decisions to
resign from the Board of Directors were not the result of any disagreements with the Company, but rather, they each agreed to
voluntarily resign as directors of the Company in order to allow the Company to comply with the NASDAQ Stock Market listing requirement

in such listing requirements. As a result of the resignations of Mr. Metcalf and Ms. Freeman from the Company&rsquo;s Board of
Directors, the Company is now in compliance with the NASDAQ Stock Market&rsquo;s requirement that a majority of its directors
be independent.</P>
