The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously determined that termination of the Company's registration as a public company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is in the Company's best interests. The Board reached its determination after a careful analysis of the benefits of public registration versus the significant on-going costs of registration, particularly for smaller registrants such as the Company. Accordingly, the Company will be filing a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Monday, November 19, 2012. Upon such filing, the Company's duty to file any reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act with the SEC shall be suspended immediately. Official termination of the Company's registration shall take effect 90 days after such filing, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine.
