Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Reporting person's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares") automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Shares") at a conversion price of $7.00 per share resulting in his acquisition of 7,143 Common Shares. Common Shares disclosed reflect the October 11, 2016, 10 for 1 reverse stock split of the Company's Common Shares. The Series A Preferred Shares were adjusted proportionately and consequently, each share of Preferred Stock became convertible into approximately 143 shares of common stock.
( 2)  The Series A Preferred Shares automatically converted, upon receipt of Company shareholder approval and had no expiration date.
