The Merger became effective on April 24, 2018 (the “Effective Time”).

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post–effective amendment any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time, and the Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
