The Committed Equity Financing, page 39
2. Your description of the
Commitment Shares in the registration statement does not

3. You indicate that Cantor is not obligated to buy any Class A shares
under the Purchase
Agreement if such shares, when aggregated with all other Class A
shares beneficially
owned by Cantor and its affiliates, would result in it beneficially
owning more than 4.99%
of the company s outstanding Class A shares. Disclose the purpose of
this limitation.
Highlight that the 4.99% beneficial ownership cap does not prevent
Cantor from
selling some or all of the Class A shares it acquires and then
acquiring additional shares,
and accordingly, Cantor will be able to sell shares in excess of the
4.99% beneficial
ownership cap while never holding more than 4.99% of the company s
outstanding Class
A shares at any given time.
