of our business. Subject to the restrictions described below and applicable law, our board of directors has complete discretion on whether
to pay cash dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to pay cash dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon
our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions, amongst
and other factors deemed relevant.
