The Company concludes that this acquisition will not trigger any disclosure obligations under Rule 3-05 based on the historical financial information of the acquiree company. In addition, in preparing the revised disclosure in Note 25 on page F-103, the Company applied 5% of its unaudited consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2018 as materiality for disclosure and considered that the acquisition is not material accordingly. Please refer to the revised disclosures on pages F-71 and F-103 of the Registration Statement.
