Amendment Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, Filed August 11, 2022
Questions and Answers about Voting at the Annual Meeting and Related
Matters, page 1
1. We note your disclosure
on Page 5: As a result, a broker non-vote on Proposal No. 3
will have the same
effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal because the proposal
requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of our outstanding common
stock and if you
sign and return your proxy marked ABSTAIN, it will have the same
effect as a vote
AGAINST the proposal, because each proposal requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of
the voting rights of our outstanding common stock.
Please revise to:
(1) Clarify each of
your statements that broker non-votes and abstentions have the same
effect as votes cast
against, in each place these statements appear in the proxy, to state that
they do not have such
effect if the voting rights are exercised. I.e., despite the fact that a
majority of the shares
outstanding may vote against a proposal, with broker non-votes and

abstentions included, the result could be the opposite the proposal
will be approved
where voting rights are exercised and mirrored voting occurs, and
(2) Add mention of either broker non-votes or abstentions, as applicable,
to each of the
instances that only address abstentions or broker non-votes, so all
instances address both
broker non-votes and abstentions and not one or the other.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
