Material Changes and Corporate Governance

Tadler resigned as a director and member of the Compensation Committee effective May 2, 2017. The filing states this resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company regarding operations or policies.

Management determined that the share purchase was in the best interest of the Company. The filing notes that the transaction increased the Company's debt load due to the funding mechanism used for the repurchase.
