Explanatory Note

This current report on Form 6-K is being filed to clarify the home country rule exemption disclosure included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 to specifically reference NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635.

Corporate Governance

Pursuant to the home country rule exemption set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615, we elected to be exempt from the requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 to obtain shareholder approval for (i) certain acquisitions of stock or assets of another company; (ii) an issuance of shares that will result in a change of control of the company; (iii) the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans and arrangements; and (iv) certain transactions (other than a public offering) involving issuances of a 20% or more of our outstanding shares. Our shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). As such, we are subject to corporate governance requirements imposed by NASDAQ. Under NASDAQ rules, listed non-US companies may, in general, follow their home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements. Except for the foregoing, we endeavor to comply with the NASDAQ corporate governance practices and except for the foregoing, there is no significant difference between our corporate governance practices and what the NASDAQ requires of domestic U.S. companies.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
