Over the past several months, Randy M.

Mr. Griffin has also provided publicly available information to these entities and to others who have inquired, as requested. The Company has never approved, authorized, endorsed or paid for any articles by such entities. Other persons may have published similar brochures or articles about the Company or may publish similar materials in the future without the Company’s knowledge, authorization or approval.
The Company has recently been made aware of certain articles published by Timothy Sykes regarding the Company, its operations, its Board of Directors and its Advisory Board. The Company has no relationship with Timothy Sykes or anyone affiliated with him or his publications, past or present, and Mr. Griffin has not been interviewed by Timothy Sykes, or any other person or entity to prepare such articles.
The Company’s shareholders, together with prospective investors and all persons looking to learn about the Company, its prospects, and its present and proposed operations, should not rely on such persons, publications or articles. In evaluating the Company and its prospects, reliance should be placed on the periodic and other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
