The Company made an initial payment of $50 million and received an initial delivery of shares by March 23, 2022.

Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers. Risks include economic or market condition changes, securities market fluctuations, stock price volatility, and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
