This Supplement should be read together with the Proxy Statement. Other than as set forth below, no changes have been made to the Proxy Statement.

 

Engagement of Additional Proxy Solicitor

 

As previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement under the heading “About the Meeting—Solicitation of Proxies,” we previously engaged Laurel Hill Advisory Group LLC (“Laurel Hill”), a professional proxy solicitation firm, to aid in the solicitation of proxies from our Shareholders in connection with the Meeting. Subsequent to filing the Proxy Statement, we also engaged Alliance Advisors, LLC (“Alliance Advisors”), a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in soliciting proxies from our Shareholders on our behalf in connection with the Meeting. We have agreed to pay Alliance Advisors up to US$100,000 in fees, which includes costs and expenses. We will bear all proxy solicitation costs.

 

If Shareholders need assistance with casting or changing their vote on a particular issue to be decided at the Meeting, they should contact one of our proxy solicitors listed below. Shareholders who have already voted and do not wish to change their vote do not need to take any further action.
