Key Financial Metrics

Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the Form 10-Q filed on August 9, 2017, for the full set of financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as this 8-K does not contain those figures.
- Confirm that the correction does not materially alter the Company's reported financial results for the period.
