Fractional Common Shares to be received by Shareholders will be rounded up in the case of a fractional interest that is 0.5 or greater, or rounded down in the case of a fractional interest that is less than 0.5, to the nearest whole number of Common Shares that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon implementation of the Share Consolidation.

Registered Shareholders were sent a letter of transmittal with their proxy materials in connection with the Meeting.

The Share Consolidation is expected to enable the Company to maintain and minimum bid price of

US$1.00

per Common Share and to avoid a delisting event that could cause material disruption to the Company and Shareholders through the reduction of both trading liquidity and access to capital.
