This was not a decision taken lightly, and the Company would like to ensure that collectively we are doing our part during this pandemic, and our main concern is to keep our employees and shareholders safe and well.

Considering the above, the Board has set August 27, 2020 as the new date for the Annual Shareholders Meeting. Shareholders as of record of July 13, 2020 will be receiving information regarding the items to be presented at the meeting.
