Except as amended by this prospectus supplement, the "Selling Shareholders" section of the Prospectus is not affected by this prospectus supplement.

 

Our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "GNLB."

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks. Consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 2 of the Prospectus before investing in our securities.

 

Capitalized terms used in this prospectus supplement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning specified in the Prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed on the adequacy or accuracy of the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
