With the closing of this transaction, the Company intends to submit the required information to the NYSE MKT (the “Exchange”) in order for the Exchange to determine whether the Company has satisfied the requirements of its Plan of Compliance (the “Plan”). The Company expects a positive determination by the Exchange based upon the Company’s fulfillment of its previously-accepted Plan.
