In connection therewith, the Company provides

application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as
that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F (and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event as set
forth in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Form 20-F.
