−Removed: Because the average market price of the Company’s common stock remained above the strike price of the Altria Warrant for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there was no impact on the reported amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and there was no impact in prior or subsequent quarterly periods.
