7. The original Form 4 filed on December 8, 2015 is amended and restated by this Form 4 amendment to change the reporting person's direct ownership of common stock of the Issuer from 4,995 shares to 4,848 shares, which reflects the final allocation of shares of Issuer common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Remarks:

The acquisition of the referenced securities of the Issuer by the reporting person was made as a result of the business combination of Old Sequential and MSLO with and into wholly owned subsidiaries of the Issuer, Singer Merger Sub, Inc. and Madeline Merger Sub, Inc., respectively, which mergers were consummated on December 4, 2015, prior to the filing date for the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer reporting such mergers. As a result of such mergers, MSLO and Old Sequential ceased to be publicly traded companies, with the Issuer becoming the successor issuer to both Old Sequential and MSLO. The acquisition of all such securities by the reporting person was approved and exempted pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
