Remarks:

This Form 4/A is being filed to correct the amount of securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as reported in the initial Form 4. Also, the Reporting Person retired as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company effective December 31, 2017, and accordingly was not required to file the initial Form 4. As such, this Form 4/A is voluntarily filed in order to correct such information even though neither the initial Form 4 nor this Form 4/A are required filings.
