Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), the filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission by any person reporting on this Form 4 that such person, for purposes of Section 16 of the Act or otherwise, is the beneficial owner of any equity securities covered by this Form. |
| 2. On October 15, 2019, the reporting person exercised warrants to purchase 15,625 shares of the issuer's commons stock.
