| (e) | During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. | |
| (f) | The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States. |
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
The Reporting Person used personal funds to make the purchases of the Common Stock listed on Schedule I hereto.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Person acquired the securities for the purpose of acquisition, restructuring or changing control and management of the Issuer, to seek to amend the Issuer’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or other instruments corresponding thereto which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person or entity, and to consolidate or merge the Issuer with Prodigy Processing Solutions, the business entity currently owned and controlled by the Reporting Person.
For the reasons stated in Item 5(e), the Reporting Person abandoned the plan as provided above on October 28, 2022, but reserves the right to engage in such a transaction in the future.
