Further details regarding the restricted shares

As this includes all of the restricted shares the Company will also be cancelling the restricted trading line.
While the restricted shares are identical in all respects to the Company's Common Stock, free from all liens, charges and encumbrances of any kind, during the "distribution compliance period", (as set out under Regulation S under the Securities Act) they are subject to the conditions listed under section 903(b)(3), or Category 3, of Regulation S.
