	No commission was paid in connection with the private placement transactions. The issuance of shares was completed pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act on the basis that each investor is an “accredited investor”, as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Act. All securities issued were issued as “restricted securities” and were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities could not be resold without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. No general solicitation or general advertising was conducted in connection with the sales of the shares.
