On September 7, 2018, VSS Fund Management LLC (“VSS”) and Jeffrey T. Stevenson entered into a settlement order (the “Settlement
Order”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), without admitting or denying the findings, regarding
violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Investment Advisers Act”). Mr. Stevenson is the managing partner of
