4, 2018, the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the &#8220;Federal Court&#8221;) entered an order preliminarily approving a proposed settlement of two shareholder derivative actions: (1) </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Kleinfeldt v. Sharng et al.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, No. 2:16-cv-01547 (C.D.

Sharng et al.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, No. BC609412, filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (collectively, the &#8220;Actions&#8221;). The Actions purport to assert claims on the Company&#8217;s behalf against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. The proposed settlement requires the Company to adopt certain additional corporate governance measures and provides for an attorneys&#8217; fees award to plaintiffs&#8217; counsel of $250,000, which will be fully funded by the Company&#8217;s insurers. Defendants and the Company have denied and continue to deny any and all alleged  wrongdoing.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:34px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:34px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The proposed settlement is subject to final approval by the Federal Court.
