holders. Please tell us what consideration you gave to the application of Exchange Act Rule 13e-3 and address whether the transaction
will result in one of the going-private effects listed in Rule 13e-3(a)(3)(ii). Also revise the proxy statement to disclose whether
the transaction will result in fewer than 300 holders of record, which would cause you to be eligible to terminate reporting obligations
under Section 12(g) or Section 15(d). Alternatively, please comply with the requirements as set forth in paragraphs (d), (e), and
