The Company received an appropriate representation as to the accredited investor status (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D) of each person purchasing the common stock, no offers or sales were effected through any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D, and the Company received appropriate representations that the shares were acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution. The shares that were sold have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
